Hi Ed002

Are Liverpool actively trying to sign somebody this window or is the summer more likely?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - The summer is more likely unless a desired target becomes available - then something may happen.}

City's squad is going to mean they come first most of the time, which is why our fewer and cheaper purchases need to be perfectly selected.
Do the ed's know anything about Ox and his availability? Would he be sold now if a decent offer came in?

Sign someone with what exactly?
We’ve no f#%#%#% money Ed has told us plenty of times!
We all want new toys but no Mon no fun!

Dembele wow available isn’t he Ed? And the interest is there as you say.

{Ed002's Note - Ousmane Dembele (LW/RW/F) Klopp's interest does not seem to go away but the attraction will be that he is a Free Agent although his preference is likely to be elsewhere unless Salah or Mane were to leave. He will be a Free Agent in the summer - Barcelona may try again with a new contract or a January sale but his agent is offering him around now - looking for a large signing on package from the usual suspects. Barcelona may spring a surprise in January and look to see if something could be done with potential targets at Juventus or Milan to reduce the price although Juve may look to an agreement to take him as a Free Agent in the summer. They may also look to an exchange with Chelsea for Rudiger but the Chelsea interest is elsewhere rather than Dembele. With Sancho arriving it is hard to see interest from Manchester United although they have been approached. PSG are seeking a French player still but have a preferred option as a Mbappe replacement. A discussion has been held with Newcastle. I suspect he will sign a new contract but the arrival of others may need to be taken in to account first. Injury concerns, inconsistent form and high wages must be considered by any potential buyers.}

Hhmm ok Ed thank you fir the info again. As ever it seems we have our lot for the season unless Mane Salah and the like leave. Let a gets behind the players we’ve got and see where it takes us.

Would anyone be that shocked if we actually sell Salah and wrap up free agent dembele? No sarcasm intended its something I can see our money men going for.

12 Jan 2022 22:29:44
I wouldn’t be shocked if we sold Salah. Personally I don’t think it would be the end of the world, although I do accept that’s not a view held by everybody.

I would be surprised if Dembele was the replacement. He showed potential a couple of years or so back but hasn’t progressed as far as I can see.

So where do you think our goals would come from? Mane and jota are too inconsistent, although jota probably will score more goals than mane, and we can’t rely on our midfield to score goals. If we sell salah, only a player like mbappe or Harland should be brought in if you ask me…. a younger player who has the ability to score as many goals as salah.

Mbappe or Haaland would likely want wages far in excess of what Salah wants to renew 😂.

13 Jan 2022 07:06:25
Fuser, laughably, even comedy footballer Ousmane Dembele wants more than Salah.

13 Jan 2022 08:10:30
WDW so who would replace salahs goals if its not the end of the world?

13 Jan 2022 09:07:05
Who replaced Rush's goals?

13 Jan 2022 09:24:13
Everyone thinks the replacement for Salah will be willing to play for peanuts! To replace Salah with anything NEAR a like for like signing the new player would also be looking for massive wages.

13 Jan 2022 11:43:58
In all fairness and I’m just playing devils advocate here. All of Mbappe, Vlahovic and Dembele are much younger players.

Any truth to the rumours about our interest in Federico Valverde?

{Ed002's Note - Federico Valverde (CM) Real Madrid are not looking to sell the player, previously of interest to Liverpool and Manchester United, as they expect him to settle in as a regular as Modric and Kroos are coming to te edn of their RM careers. Real Madrid are are aware Bayern Munich see him as an option to replace Tolisso - but it would take a huge offer for that to happen. Manchester City have sent scouts to look at him as they look to add to their Central Midfield options. Liverpool interest will have shifted to more financially viable targets and Manchester United have clear alternate targets in mind.}
