Ed25, I've read your posts and you seem to be saying we are signing Aouar. Am I overthinking this or is it true?

{Ed025's Note - no wuger im not saying that at all mate, in fact its very doubtful..

Sorry, I misread the post about Kubo. He has NOT been released.

Takefusa Kubo on a free? Just read he's been released.

He’s gone to Mallorca on loan apparently?

Hi Eds,

Can you see Clarkson getting a loan move away this window?

Thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Leighton Clarkson (DM) Blackburn are looking to take him on loan.}

11 Aug 2021 15:49:18
Would be a very good move for him IMO.

Hasn’t looked out of place.

Putting your faith in a kid SR? According to some on here that makes you crazy.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Aug 2021 19:19:18
I wouldn’t be nervous about him going in a starting line up for most games. I love the idea of someone coming through the ranks than some new player.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 12:59:04
Fabrizio Romano is saying we have a very real €40million interest in Renato Sanches.

This is very concerning to me!

I’d rather go without and give the minutes to Elliot and Jones.

Believable7 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - ED002 has been telling you that for weeks mate, thats still way too much for a one trick pony imo, but the price has increased due to liverpool wanting to pay on the never never..

11 Aug 2021 13:11:08
sell chamberlain and buy sanches=sanches-fabinho-thiago with a bench of kelleher, tsimikas, gomez, henderson, keita, jones, elliot, firmino and new attacker.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 13:13:23
Chamberlain won't be sold.

Agree7 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 13:25:36
Sanches doesn't make sense at all. The midfield is already crowded as is.

Agree5 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 13:26:49
I thought Sanches looked quality in the euros.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 13:34:20
If Sanches stays fit and has his head in the right place he will be an awesome player in a Klopp team as he has the enegy levels. Would have to end the chances of a lot of midfielders not getting a game if he's bought though as surely he will play alongside Fabinho and Thiago.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No Henderson then?}

11 Aug 2021 13:39:03
When we have so many midfield injuries that we do, the midfield isn’t stacked. We need a Gini replacement who was never ever injured. We are not going to be giving minutes to Woodburn or Clarkson going for the league title. He has been class last couple of seasons and would be a welcome addition.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 13:41:57
Sanches doesn’t even have one trick Ed. He’s a tournament player, looks flashy in parts at a tournament but when asked to be a disciplined and effective player at club level it all falls apart as he’s not got the ability to play at the highest level. Was found out at Bayern and looked poor at Swansea, press are saying that Lille want the equivalent of £40m not €40m from us. If that’s the price quoted we should walk away. The man is made of crisps and hasn’t two footballing brain cells to rub together to make a spark.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Forget what the press are saying. If you want to remove the interest in Sanches and other players you need to push for a new coach or stop bleating. It is tiresome.}

11 Aug 2021 13:47:05
Sanches at one point was extremely touted as a high ranking player. When Portugal won the Euros he was a bargain for Bayern at 40m they laid for him at the time. Can players change under the right manager and a understanding that his career is on the line, maybe. I would still say his showing at Swansea was concerning, trust in Klopp and Edwards, would gladly be wrong about a player proving doubters wrong at the club.

Agree3 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 13:50:44
I would be very surprised if he signed, I guess that'd see Ox player 9 more often and maybe Elliot more in a front 3 than midfield. I trust Klopp and the guys to sign whoever they like though to be honest!

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 14:08:57
I really hope Barcelona sell some big earners and sign Sanchez. Ed025 said he was a one trick pony for me he just looks good in parts for Portugal in Tournaments because international football is so poor now due to the point that to make the euros and world cups longer there are to many teams in it.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 14:11:43
Apart from the injuries, talent wise i think he's a very good footballer. Swansea wouldn't concern me at all, i know he was poor but i think he was younger than Curtis Jones (who we all cry patience for) is now at the time and was in a poor poor Swansea team.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 14:58:22
Jurgen Klopp lead us to the EPL and CL titles and made us one of the most feared teams in Europe.
Do people think he doesn't know what he's doing?
If Sanchez is a player Klopp wants he must be good enough.

Agree7 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 16:46:08
This is one of those times I hope that when FSG open the wallet, nothing but moths fly out. We’d be better spending nothing more than throwing good money to bad.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 16:46:12
The club and 99.9% of fans would prefer Saul or Bissouma to Sanches I'm certain. However the fee, payment terms, agent fees and wages for those 2 would be in line with being better players than Sanches. If the club and Klopp believe Sanches can be improved the fans should trust them as their record has been good (not perfect) .

I agree with Ed002 that the constant moaning is tiresome. VVVV HAS to comment on every post on Sanches and Keita about how they are such failures. You've made your point multiple times. No need to recycle the same every freaking day.

Agree14 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 17:28:51
To be fair he doesn't start the discussions much. Also if you're on here long enough you will see a lot of stuff recycled on numerous occasions.

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 18:15:22
Perhaps controversial, but did we really need to buy Konate with our HG players doing so well. Could have use the non HG spot and nearly 50 Mil on a 1st team world class forward (Lauturo) or MF (Saul) instead. Just a thought ofcourse, in no position to judge Klopp and the club's decisions.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 18:20:04
Who is saying we are buying Sanches, last time I looked i didn't see Michael Edwards on here, just wait and see otherwise you'll have bluenoses winding you up.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 19:21:39
I don't feel you can look to much at his performances for Bayern which for me was too much too soon. Neither can you look at his time at Swansea as he was a player whose confidence was destroyed. If and a big if he plays to his potential he could be an absolute gem.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - Salah and De Bruyne flopped on the big stage early in their careers also. I’m not impressed or bewitched by Sanchez but if he signs he will have my unwaivering support.

11 Aug 2021 19:06:09
I’m a fan of Henderson and we need his leadership on the pitch but I think Sanches replaces him but maybe gradually ED2. I’m not sure a midfield of Fabinho Henderson and Sanches is balanced enough to attacking. What do you think?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I think it is about options going forward and the need to starting to look at reducing the age and replacing the older players.}

11 Aug 2021 20:03:39
Reading some of the posts above I just don't get why people rate saul so highly. Personally I don't think he makes us better.

Sanches is not my cup of tea however if they went on my transfer advice we wouldn't have signed a lot of the quality players currently at our disposal. I support the club whatever they do.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Aug 2021 00:46:25
I enjoy reading that Sanches is a one trick pony. This is a 23 year old lad that’s won Portuguese title bundesliga twice and some how won the French league which is a one horse race. If only we were all so terrible. Also won the euros with Portugal. I’m not a big fan of Paul Pogba because he has the ability to be world class but his laziness gets in the way of him being so. However he’s won many things of other peoples merit imo. However I can’t imagine Sanches getting away with winning the French league last season with Lille by being not very good or lazy. I think he’d be an exciting addition to the squad. However I think we are over subscribed in centre mid.

Agree2 Disagree0

Eds

Do liverpool currently have any concrete offers on the table from other clubs for the following player

Shaqiri
Origi
Minamino
Phillips
Davies

We here clubs are sniffing around, but has anybody put a firm offer in to the club.

Thanks.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you mean about "concrete offers" but there have been discussions with clubs over some of these players.}

11 Aug 2021 13:03:58
Perhaps MH is asking, is there anything set in stone?

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 12:44:40
Sorry ed

What i mean is apart from discussions, has anybody actually offered money for any of the above.

Thabks for your reply though.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Yes but nothing has been agreed.}

11 Aug 2021 12:43:42
just off pre-season Minamino looks like he's found his feet. Ed066 with Taki being right-footed, could you see him coming in off the left supporting Mane, and Jota being used down the middle full time. Looks like that's where he's played pre-season.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - personally I feel Jota is most devastating from playing the left and is less effective centrally.

11 Aug 2021 20:18:25
Sanchez reminds me of victor moses, deep down the makings of a good player just never quite deliver the goods.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2021 19:30:25
I prefer jota down the middle ed666 seems to finish his chances better in there I think. Didn't he score his hatric playing down the middle? I may be wrong.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - I feel his movement is better when he plays on the left and creates more there. This season will give us more answers can’t wait mate.

11 Aug 2021 09:10:05
Hi eds,

Concerning Jeremy Doku. He's only 19, so would he take up a HG spot? I'm not clear when it comes to the rules.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - If he were to move he will become a Non-HG player when he is 21.}

11 Aug 2021 09:17:55
Thanks Ed. One to watch, maybe?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Certainly. Liverpool interest has been there for a long time.}

11 Aug 2021 10:49:16
Looks like he could be our next and only signing after Ibou. But after we sell Philips and one of Origi/ Shaq.
Klopp sees him as a long term Mane replacement and that is good enough for me. Elliot has shown enough to convince he can be the Gini replacement so a CM should not be a priority anymore.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath for this summer.}

11 Aug 2021 13:57:14
Have LFC spoken to Rennes Ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Jeremy Doku (W) Bayern Munich turned their attention to him but have stepped back after being told an asking price by his agent that reflected Rennes paid over the odds for him last summer and they will look to keeping him another year - as Rennes do not consider him for sale. Liverpool have had a long term interest in the player. It was suggested to Arsenal that he would be a good replacement if they can off-load Pepe. Perhaps one for next year.}
