Hello Eds. Just read that the club signed a pre-contract with a Brazilian kiddie from Cruzerio. Any chance you know if this is true?

{Ed002's Note - Off the top of my head I don’t know - if you have a name I know who to ask.}

01 Sep 2021 20:01:33
Sorry Ed, didn’t see any names. Not sure if it’s just random rumours. I’m guessing if you haven’t heard then probably not much weight in it. Thanks for the quick reply Ed!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It is not the sort of thing that would crop up. The rules over pre-contracts are strict and the rules over kiddies are strict with already an issue related to Liverpool being considered by FIFA. So I would need a name, but I do then know who to speak to.}

01 Sep 2021 22:53:34
Is the issue the Ghana kid or something else?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2021 08:53:23
Abdul fatawa Issahaka. do you think he will end up at L'pool when he turns 18?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea.}

02 Sep 2021 17:35:25
Anyone has an idea who the kid is from brazil?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2021 18:56:34
Hopefully not another Allan or Vitor Flores.

The "alleged" player is Angelo Gabriel (16) who signed a pro-contract in December 2020 with Santos. Their sporting director has "suggested" Liverpool contacted him already over the player who has a €60m release clause. In reality, Andrade can only honestly say that Liverpool scouts have watched Santos play like many, many other scouts. I give the story 2 out of 10.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He has been watched by plenty of scouts but Liverpool are not allowed to eith speak with his agent or sign a pre-contract agreement.}

03 Sep 2021 14:19:00
As I said Ed002 mate. LFC have not spoken to anyone representing him Jorge Andrade (the sporting director) is pretending LFC have spoken to him about him. but they have watched him. And as I also tried to add earlier, the OP is referring to "jimmy" a nonsense rumour on Reddit. Thanks for being the fountain of knowledge you always are.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Thanks - I spoke with someone about this and can say that:
Angelo Gabriel (RW) 16 year old left footed right winger who is being illegally represented by an agent who has been making contact with many major European sides. Santos have said that Real Madrid have declared an interest with them but they have not heard from other clubs although numerous sides, including Liverpool and Manchester City, have been scouting him. Contracted until he is 19 with a termination clause of €60M which a club could look to pay in December 2022. He has "representation" so clubs need to tread very carefully before he turns 18. One for the future.}

Great info Ed, cheers. Is there a specific reason why so many up-and-coming Brazilian players seem to have somewhat suspect representation?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Players can be represented under the age of 18 but the rules do not allow other clubs to approach or negotiate with such representatives before they are 18. It is not just Brazilian players.}

01 Sep 2021 15:15:44
Ed001 Any news on a new contract for Mane And is Salah any closer to agreeing new terms.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - nothing yet mate and it is impossible to say, as negotiations like that can seem to be getting closer only to break down over even a minor point. Other ones seem to have big issues and yet they still get sorted.}

01 Sep 2021 16:01:07
Salah has to be a priority. He’s going to be difficult to replace otherwise.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - not sure he stays. In my opinion he’ll be off in the summer. Even if he doesent go in the summer klopp is gonna have some rebuild to do.

01 Sep 2021 17:05:01
PSG seems likely.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2021 17:32:30
Would he leave on a free? Going to be difficult to find budget for a big signing without some big sales.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Sep 2021 17:47:20
Will we have any money to spend next summer? Or willl we have at least somethign as I doubt we have many leftto sell to buy now only minamino ox keita Phillips maybe they only bring 20/ 30 mil so we won’t have that much to spend if it’s sell to buy?

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Sep 2021 18:05:12
Salah won’t sign imo. Unless we somehow win the UCL.

Agree3 Disagree0

01 Sep 2021 20:10:48
Salah was supposed to be leaving every simmer since we signed him, including this one. The transfer window hasn't even been closed 24 hours yet and he's already off next summer.
Comical stuff.

Agree7 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - every simmer?, your not the policeman from allo allo are you flash mate?.. :)

01 Sep 2021 21:25:35
Somehow win the CL? You make it sound as tho those odds are long; they are not. Take the word "somehow" out of your statement. And i still disagree.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2021 21:51:01
Ed025 that is comedy gold my friend. Never change sir never change. 🤣🤣🤣.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i cant even if i wanted to mick mate.. :)

01 Sep 2021 17:55:50
I think it's 50/ 50 as to whether he goes or not Ed0666. For all the reasons he may have to leave, I think there are as many compelling reasons for him to stay. He's made his name with this group, the group functions around his scoring ability, and he shows every sign that he's one of the big (if not the biggest) fish in this pond. Even he is smart enough to know that this is not guaranteed at any of the French, Spanish or German clubs he may be considering. There are other reasons, of course (money, new adventure, new titles etc etc), but this one i have cited is not mentioned enough.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - I want him to stay so much I really do. But I also understand his need to leave from what my Egyptian friends in the media tell me surpass the usual reasons. Also I can appreciate if FSG don’t want an Ozil situation with Salah. Maybe Salah is not the player he was at 33/34 no sell on value and paying him circa 300k a week. We have to think clubs future before any sentiment for a player. I’m fully expecting a lot of slack for this post but I’m feeling really bullish today so bring it on 😂

01 Sep 2021 18:14:04
Anything you've heard that makes you think he'll leave Ed0666 or just the feeling your getting yourself?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - my Egyptian friends comments mate. Nothing I can substantiate.

01 Sep 2021 18:24:11
Ed0666, I sincerely hope Salah stays, as I can’t see how we realistically replace him. The bloke is absolutely bonafide world class and the best winger to play for us since John Barnes, if what you say comes true then that will actually be a disastrous transfer window as opposed to a quiet one.

I genuinely can’t think of one winger, or even a forward, who is in our price range even remotely capable of bagging 20 goals a season (and before people say anything about Salah’s antecedents before joining us, he was banging then in at Roma and looked like he could step up), the likes of Mbappe and Haaland aren’t worth discussing as we can’t afford the wages or the related fees. I fear we’ll go back for Doku or Traore, both of whom are incapable of scoring goals in any great numbers.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - I’m under the impression he won’t sign a contract that’s just my opinion and I hope I’m wrong. Again I have no evidence of this. I truly wake up to the news someday soon he signing new terms I really do because the guy is a magician on his day, literally in that 2nd Tier of elite footballers. Tier 1 being Ronaldo and Messi. I just don’t want us to give him 3 years and not 5.

02 Sep 2021 00:13:11
Salah will be signing a new contract.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2021 14:51:08
Salah doesn’t have an ounce of body fat, he looks after himself extremely well and I don’t think he’s overly reliant on pace. I think come 33/ 34/ 35 he’ll be well able to play as a striker and still deliver same way Ronaldo does. My only worry is I think Liverpool are happy enough to challenge for top honours. Salah seems the type who’d want to be at a club who sets out to win the title or CL and anything else is failure. He doesn’t have many medals for a player of his ability at his age.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2021 20:01:49
Have to agree with ED on this, I do think this will be his last season with us. Salah will be off and I think PSG will take him. I just hope PSG get big money for Mbappe and pay us big money for Salah as I think we really do need to strengthen in midfield and up front next window.

Ps, always lovely to hear from the ED’s and there has been some comedy gold on here recently from the fans - keep it up and keep being nice to our great ED’s!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2021 20:31:48
Salah has 2 years to run on his contract I believe so won’t be going for free in the summer.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Sep 2021 21:10:27
Salah signs, IMO.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Sep 2021 10:25:21
Ed0666, I'm not a cynic, but I do like to think I function with a good dose of realism. Suarez and Coutinho reconfirmed a good lesson. Even after signing new contracts, they waltzed off into the night with a new partner. As Ed002 always says, "footballers are transient employees". Realism. 🤷.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - if he signs an extension I really do believe we’ll have him for life. Just my opinion. I don’t see anyone paying a fee and astronomical wages at 31/32 years of age for him. Again I could be wrong mate.
