Merry Christmas to all on the site. Just dropping in a message in between picking the wrapping paper up and getting the turkey on . Have a great day every one. And to those absolute legends who have to work today, thankyou.

I won’t say merry Christmas as there are a fair few posters I actively dislike, but let’s hope for a couple of new players in the coming window. I feel we can turn this around and go deep into the Champions League. Have a good one, Ed 001.

Merry Christmas to all the readers, posters, and, of course, the Eds.
This site remains the absolute best place for Liverpool chat, Ed001 remains the guy for football analysis, and Ed025 remains the best for any friendly debate among football fans.
Cheers, and long may it continue.

{Ed025's Note - all the best Lowe mate..

The moral of the story is when too much power lies in the hands of money/ data guys, without a strong figurehead, spending vast amounts of cash is meaningless.

24 Dec 2025 18:07:11
Isak £125m
Ekitike £70m
Frimpong £29m
Leoni £26m
Kerkez £40m
Wirtz £100m
Not a bad deal among them for me to be honest, certainly not many would have thought so at the time. And as for spending vast amounts of cash, Arsenal had a higher net spend than us last summer, and since Slot came in a year and a half ago we've only the 4th highest net spend in the league.

The money thing is something rival fans like to throw about when in reality in terms of money spent we are right about where were meant to be. The fact Slot won the league while making a profit in his season shows how well he did with a team that had finished 3rd the season before.

24 Dec 2025 20:11:02
I said it at the time the rumours of interest first cropped up, and even though people won't like it I'll say it again now. an injury prone goal poacher who need's his minutes managed for £125m is not a good deal. We literally proved it ourselves by signing Ekitike. I'm not nockin Isak, he's a great finisher, but look where we are now.

Florian Musiala Slot had a number of things go his way last year. He walked into a team that Klopp had been developing, some idiots say things like "why didn't Klopp win the league with the same team?! " Klopp was developing that squad for the last couple of years, he lost some major names from the first team and was working on rebuilding, given that they went from 5th to 3rd it was a clear he was making all the right moves, not to mention that individual performances were steadily improving across the board. So Slot benefitted from the previous 2 years of Klopps development, anybody who can't wrap their head around that has mashed potato for brains. Slot also got extremely lucky that it was one of the least competitive title races over the last 20 years. City were shocking compared to recent years and Arsenal were below par too. If they were both up to par Slot would have got 3rd at best. We were also lucky that Slot didn't try to enforce whatever miserable excuse for a system he's implementing this year, last season.

So the people saying"why didn't klopp win the league with the same team"are the idiots but the"he walked into a team klopp had been developing, was lucky it wasnt a competitive title race, and city and Arsenal were shocking camp"are the voice of reason? No team are ever lucky to win a title, they win it because their the best.

How Arsenal and City performed is not important, we did the business and let's face it it wasnt even close. He came into this league and blew Pep and Arteta away.

Liverpool probably pulled out of the Semenyo deal because they couldn't shoe horn salah out of the club in January for a big fee.

24 Dec 2025 14:48:09
Dont think we'd have to sell Salah to get Semenyo. Not unlimited cash to spend im sure but the club is in great shape financially.

24 Dec 2025 20:04:51
We walked away because we weren’t convinced he was the right player or what we needed, the club looks at many options and he was just one of them which we explored and walked away from, pretty standard practice I’m sure.

Decent player but by no means a must have player. Priority has to be CB and a DM. Personally would be chucking a lot of cash toward either Anderson or Wharton over signing another attacker.

24 Dec 2025 20:13:54
Unlikely, considering the rumours we pulled out of the race back in November. Coupled with the fact that we haven't made recent contact with Semenyo, which supports the previous rumour. It would all suggest that none of it has anything to do with Salah.

Wishing all the eds, my fellow posters and anyone who follows the reds a very Merry Christmas hope ya all have a great one wherever you are.

All the best

Nice one zippy same to you pal.

Merry Christmas zippy lad.

I'm Gutted Semenyo isn't coming to us after all. It's kept me awake most of the nite ( that and having to go the toilet every hour) But when I think of it why would he come to us? Our football has fell off a cliff, Slot has all the charisma of a wet fish, and last time he played at Anfield he got abused.

Him choosing Pep over Slot makes sense though! I wonder how many other potential signings may see how we play as a turn off?

Perhaps this could be the start of a decline for us, with talent choosing others. I hope not.

I'm also hoping for a change at the top. Slot appears to be actively managing us back to pre Klopp days now.

Not one of the actual journalists who get info have said we ever followed up our initial declaring of interest, don't fall for the wave of ITKs on here, most are frauds. If we are interested genuinely I think we'll step forward and it may not be as guaranteed as people think for him to join City.

Neither Ornstein, Joyce or Fabrizio have said we were even truly in for him. all the talk yesterday was City, United, Chelsea and we were not mentioned. We didn't get rejected by him because we weren't in, in the first place!

24 Dec 2025 11:14:55
Can't see to many wanting to come here and play sideways and backways football like slop has liverpool playing. Sooner he's sacked the better. Not in the top 10 managers in the pl .

24 Dec 2025 14:52:55
"Why would he come here? ", "cant see many wanting to come here". Get a grip will yis😆. yis nearly sound like Trolls lads🤔.

24 Dec 2025 06:53:35
I’ve missed the comments throwing accusations at everyone at th club for being hopeless at signing players lol.
