Just a quick one.

I doubt it but just wanted to ask if there was ANY chance we could get Keita in January?

{Ed002's Note - No, that won’t be happening.}

23 Dec 2017 23:01:23
A shame but I expected that response, thanks again Ed2.

Reports tonight suggesting we've made a breakthrough in our pursuit of VVD and are willing to pay in the excess of 70 million .

Believable9 Unbelievable8

23 Dec 2017 22:05:15
I hope not, my word, if we spend that amount on him its just rediculous, he's been a plank this season, done nothing and dropped by Southampton. Is there any truth to this Ed2?

Agree5 Disagree6

{Ed002's Note - I don’t know.}

23 Dec 2017 22:05:39
I hope not. Dropped from the saints side. Awful attitude of late too. We could get de vrij, and another with change.

Agree3 Disagree6

23 Dec 2017 22:10:40
Ok, thanks anyway Ed2, hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas.

{Ed002's Note - Thank you.}

EDDS, who would be the better option out of these 2 free’s MAX MEYER OR LEON GORETZSKA.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - I have no way of measuring such things.}

23 Dec 2017 22:46:31
It's most likely going to either be us or Man City. A few places are reporting that it is City, but nothing concrete yet.

Vvd doesn't want to play at Southampton he's made it clear he wants a move so why would he give his all when saints knocked his transfer request back in the summer. If it is us he cones to an it's 60 or even 70 mill so be it that's the prices these days city paid 50 mill 2 or 3 years ago for stone. Vvd would do a great job for us in my opinion.

Agree13 Disagree4

24 Dec 2017 01:04:35
He's hardly played recently, his attitude stunk when he did. He will take time to adjust to being on it, and by then, knowing us we would have labelled him a flop. I am saying now I don't want him, but if he comes I'll support him. Not sure it matters who comes in as we need two, of klopp doesn't give Gomez a go - my favourite CB is klavan, and I still think klopp sees him as third choice.

Agree3 Disagree2

24 Dec 2017 06:04:57
Truth hurts. vvd should give his all for the pure fact that he's still pulling a wage every week.

Agree2 Disagree0

24 Dec 2017 08:48:11
Unfortunately lavers life isn't like that mate if I had offers of a better job with more money I'm sure as hell not going to bust a gut for my current employer. I think he'll do a good job for us pal.

Out of intrest when coutinho is sold in either jan r summer who do we replace him with. do we gamble on lemar who is going to be high risk and high cost or go for someone like mahrez who is proven in the prem and would be cheaper.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - There are lots of options, Lemar, Max Meyer, Krovinovic, Draxler, Brandt ...

23 Dec 2017 19:48:02
Agree ed, lots of options out there. Who would be your preffered option and out of interest how do u rate mahrez? I think his pace, passing, finishing and prem experience could really fit at liverpool if he can buy into klopps philosophy.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has no interest in Mahrez. Meyer can be approached in January - he would be a good option.}

23 Dec 2017 19:49:30
Mahrez has had one good season and several mediocre ones, he’s not at all capable of replacing Coutinho.

Agree8 Disagree3

23 Dec 2017 20:34:17
I haven't seen a lot of meyer but he seems a talented lad from what i have watched. Do we have a genuine interest?

Im surprised Mr D u think mahrez is so mediocre, clearly not at couts level otherwise Barcelona would be splashing 130 mill on him and not chasing couts. who do u think we should get to fill his boots and is also financially attainable?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I have dealt with this plea to of times - try searching.}

23 Dec 2017 21:00:35
Insigne, Lemar, Draxler. All top class. Mahrez would be a massive step down.

Agree6 Disagree0

23 Dec 2017 21:02:21
Krovinovic is a new name to me ed. Were is he at currently mate please? Is a a CAM also? Is he attainable?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He is an AM player who has been looked at}

23 Dec 2017 21:28:14
Quiet like draxler and insigne there good shouts not sure if there is serious interest from us? Lemar for me is an expensive risk could be pure class or a very expensive flop! The premiership is a tough and intense league so i worry about young untested players.

Agree0 Disagree2

23 Dec 2017 21:39:33
Insigne is a wonderful footballer. Genuine talent and had similar skill set to Couts. Hard little bugger as well.

Agree4 Disagree2

23 Dec 2017 21:42:34
Cheers ed spot on info aa normal mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Dec 2017 22:02:30
Reports coming in that we are in talks with SOTON for VD, structured deal with add-ons, any news EDDS.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - I would need to check.}

23 Dec 2017 22:11:46
Insigne would be my choice fantastic little player. Napoli are very difficult to deal.

Agree3 Disagree2

24 Dec 2017 10:37:31
Morning ed. Im sorry we are back on this subject but when you say "I would need to check" ( On VVD ), Is this something you are could do please.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - Not right now.}

26 Dec 2017 11:57:04
Still nothing ed? I will move on then.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Dec 2017 14:39:56
Do the eds still think we will sign a defender in January please?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - It is diffucult to say about timings of transfers with any certainty, but the club has been looking at defenders.}

23 Dec 2017 15:03:38
seeing vvd not playing for saints gives me hope that he is being looked after to make sure the deal doesn't fall through. Spending 60 mil on a cb is going to be a bit of a waste if we don't sort our keeper out. migs might point at a fair number of clean sheets but that is only because the team are so good we don't give the opposition a chance on goal. migs hasn't found the form of last year, ivelost faith completely.

Agree7 Disagree3

23 Dec 2017 15:22:22
Shipping Migs out of the club has become a bigger priority than signing a defender right now. We need to make sure Misg never wears the LFC jersey again. He will cost us big time this season if he continues.

Agree19 Disagree0

23 Dec 2017 15:21:50
Superred its been said that its very unlikely we will return for VVD mate. Unless there is a change of heart fro. Saints to sell to us. It seems we have moved on to other CB's now. Would that be about right ed as to were we are at?

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Dec 2017 15:59:12
I think we’ll be priced out of a deal for VVD anyway in Man City are after him. I’ve been impressed with Christopher Schindler at Huddersfield he’s been a bit of a rock for them. A good ball playing CB like Martinez from sociedad and I think we’d be set.

Agree3 Disagree1

23 Dec 2017 19:53:01
VVD is off to City, forget that one. Not convinced that someone like Schindler is of the sufficient quality, nor Gibson either. I’d rather we went for Laporte at Bilbao than Martinez, as Martinez is poor in the air and at 5’11 he’s going to be no use against the long ball teams.

Agree1 Disagree2

23 Dec 2017 21:52:55
That’s why a player like Schindler should be brought in, an old fashioned big defender to deal with the aerial bombardments and the big centre forwards. I think a defender like Martinez would complement him. When teams smell blood and we’re on the verge of collapsing as we tend to do even after building a lead a defender like Martinez along with the keeper (Karius) and DM of Xabi Alonso ilk (illaramendi) maybe get the ball on the ground and they keep it for as long as necessary to calm things down. Just my tuppence worth that’s probably not klopp’s style in fairness.

Agree1 Disagree1
