hi eds, looks like youri tielemans will be available for around £36m. do you think liverpool will have any interest.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed as far as I know: Youri Tielemans (CM) right now will not sign a new contract so will be available in the summer at a reduced fee if he doesn't change his mind. His agent confirms that there is interest from Real Madrid who are looking for a Luka Modric replacement and that he has been approached by a third party representing Newcastle and is aware that other clubs, including Bayern Munich and Liverpool have scouted the player but not declared an interest. Interest of the Manchester sides has probably gone. Arsenal provide a wildcard option.}

thanks ed, he was one of the players rodgers pointed the finger at after the fa cup defeat, do you think he would be a good fit for liverpool?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He would not be first choice.}

Doesn’t work hard enough for Klopp.
Nothing to see here IMO.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - You wonder why Liverpool approached his agent then.}

I'm not sure he's that good. Few decent games but nothing outstanding imo. I think there are far better options.

Ed2, apologies in advance but can you clarify (genuine question) what would the difference be between declaring an interest and approaching/ speaking to his agent?

Does Club A not need the permission to speak to Club B's player's agent? Or is it only to speak to speak to the player themself? Is it not implied that asking to speak to the agent (if that's the case) or player is declaring an interest?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Declaring an interest is with the club being told. No permission is required to speak with an agent.}

I think at around that price his a good signing he is playing under Rodger’s so am sure Klopp can improve him would definitely rather have him in the squad than Naby. If we are lucky we might get£25m for Naby so only an extra £10m I bet the wages won’t be any different as well.

Ed002 I didn’t realise we seem that interested in him tbh, was the approach recent can I ask please?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Recent is a subjective term.}

He always seems a bit lazy and lightweight for me. Bissouma would make far more sense in my honest opinion as he’s hard working, moves the ball quickly and tackles anything that moves.

Would agree that Tielemans would be way down the list of options.

Bissouma would have been the perfect fit but his off-pitch stuff is a concern. Whether the club would want to go near near him once resolved or not is to be seen.

Tchouameni seems to be of interest too but is in high demand across Europe. Chelsea and others have already done a lot of the legwork.

It's telling that we didn't want to compete with others for Zakaria which suggests we have a no1 target that we really want to pursue.

Would be disappointed if it is Renato Sanches given his injury concerns. Not heard much on Florian Neuhaus but I am sure he's still on a list somewhere.

Will be interesting to see what we do here.

With Ox leaving, Milly playing less and less, Hendo's legs seemingly gone and Naby being Naby, our MF is going to need replenishing as a priority.
Neuhaus and Kessie are top of the pile i reckon.

Does every club buy every player they speak to agents about? Of course not. Clubs speak to agents all the time. It means nothing.
