Ed002,are we interested in Abdul Fatawa Issakaku?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Abdul Fatawu Issahaku (AM/W) Bayer Leverkusen are moving very carefully and slowly to avoid any breach of FIFA rules as the player is represented illegally by an agent due to his age and the have already spoken with FIFA, UEFA and DFB about being able to complete a transfer. It has been made clear that any direct dealings with the agent could result in serious repercussions and this has made the also interested Borussia Dortmund step back as they think that they would be in direct breach of FIFA rules. There is a potential exemption that Bayer Leverkusen could claim. I am not aware of any interest of Liverpool nor how they would propose to complete any transfer.
Milot Rashica (LW/F) A decent Grealish replacement if he can be persuaded to make the move. Injured right now but he can be sold as soon as the asking price is matched and he can pass a medical. RBL, Aston Villa and Bayer Leverkusen have a declared interest in the player.

Evening Ed's,

Seeing so many names here that are clearly just media speculation and we have no interest in, so was wondering if you'd be able to give us a quick run down on who our top targets actually are or at least who were looking at?

Thank you!

{Ed0666's Note - Eds 002 is gonna do a sharkapod real soon. Keep on the look out mate

26 May 2021 19:02:14
Why is a sharkapod called a sharkapod? I’m just interested that’s all.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - There is no such thing as a Sharkapod. There is a Sharkopod of course.}

26 May 2021 23:44:40
Ah. That clears that up thanks Ed.

Agree2 Disagree0

I think it’s cos Ed002’s avatar used to be a shark. And the other Eds call him Sharky- is that right?

Agree0 Disagree0

27 May 2021 12:39:07
Sharkey? I would have thought it was "Jaws", Lol. (oh damn, now I'm going to get banned)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed014's Note - yep he’s Sharkey and yep your banned! 😉🤣

27 May 2021 19:07:11
I heard it was because the only music he will entertain is only the works of Fergal Sharkey.

Agree0 Disagree0

Question for Ed002, I have searched but cannot find anything from yourself on the matter - do we hold interest in Neuhaus or is it specifically just Bissouma we are looking at? Neuhaus for me looks the more versatile and would not be off to AFCON. Cheers in advance and hope you are well 👍🏼.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Florian Neuhaus (CM) There remains significant interest in the Borussia Muenchengladbach player with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund seeing him as a player who will continue to improve. Real Madrid see him as an option in midfield and his representative has made no secret that there has been interest from elsewhere including Manchester City, Spurs, Juventus and the Milanese clubs, but Milan seems a less likely destination. Borussia Dortmund will push hard for him but they have growing money issues. I am not aware of any approach by Liverpool at this time but he may offer an outstanding solution if Wijnaldum were to leave - but they don't have the necessary funds to pay the €40M termination clause. BD interest will go with Rose's commitment to not take players from BM. I expect he will stay another year where he is.}

Thank you Ed.

Hi Ed002, I know you addressed the Youri Tielemans rumor on May 20, but it's all over the news today, and I wondered if anything changed since you last addressed the rumor, specifically, if Liverpool are now interested in him as widely rumored today.

Thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what has been said but the media typically repeat a single suggestion - I am not aware of any approach to either his club or agent. He would be a great deal more expensive than the players that the club have shown an interest in.}

26 May 2021 15:37:03
I would much prefer Bissouma even with the AFCON issue. Anguissa is another and would probably be more affordable given Fulham's relegation.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool have no interest in Anguissa.

26 May 2021 15:49:13
Shame cheers Ed2.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 May 2021 15:59:38
Thanks, Ed. Also, thank you for all the honest feedback, news and views you've shared through the season.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Thanks.}

Surely Leicester would charge an absolute premium for his services?

Agree1 Disagree0

26 May 2021 19:19:01
I’d love tielemans to be fair, he would be a huge upgrade on wiji. Not sure what sort of fee Leicester would be looking to charge, but I can’t imagine it being cheap. He’s better than all the other players we are reportedly looking at in midfield in my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 May 2021 11:54:40
Is the other player we have shown an interest in Bissouma?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has an interest in him.}

27 May 2021 14:57:35
Thanks Ed - I would be over the moon if we managed to sign him. If we managed to get Konate, Bissouma and a forward like Daka or Malen I would be very happy. All 3 signed with a view to being starters at some point but we can bed them in and barring injuries we wouldn’t be reliant on them.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Ed’s, have Liverpool shown any interest in Latauro Martinez?
I think he’s an excellent player and one that would slot nicely into the team.
What do you think of him as a player?
I tried searching for a player profile on him but couldn’t find one, please could he be added to the list?

{Ed002's Note - No, Liverpool have not shown any interest in him.}

He would be a lot of money too don't think he would be in our monetary range this window.
