Rumours that Adrian wants to leave this window and Liverpoolnwill allow him to go if they receive a suitable offer as they have no intentions to renew his contract, could free up a spot in the squad for a foreign player.

Could play him cb.

Just loan him out and pay a percentage of his wages. Doubt we are going to get any better options concerning Adrian anyways until he leaves this summer.

Aaron Long on loan till April from New York Redbulls is the latest rumour.

That’s a new one.

I don’t know if that’s better or worse than Mustafi. I’ll say better, I’ve seen mustafi play and he’s a shocking defender.

Agree2 Disagree0

Long's wages would be miniscule compared to Mustafi, so more of an economic decision.
At this point, i'd take Care coming out of retirement tbh.

I don't think Aaron Long would be any where near good enough but at the moment what choice do Liverpool have? I think we should just wait and see what unfolds over the next few days. Realistically no one has any idea of who we might sign.

Does anyone know anything about him, Eds? Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He is away with the National side right now. It can be hard to judge MLS players but with no relevant experience it makes far less sense than Subotic.}

29 Jan 2021 14:27:29
Never heard of him tbh, any truth Ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Aaron Long (CB) would be an odd choice given the availability of Subotic and his experience and Long only ever having played in the MLS. Marseille and West Ham attempted to sign him a couple of years ago but West Ham gave up because a Work Permit seemed unlikely. The reason Marseille dropped their interest is not for sharing in public. Reading wanted to sign him and Matt Miazga as a permanent pairing and still maintain an interest in Long even though they never struck a deal for Miazga. Lens are concerned about losing one of their CBs and with the start of the MLS delayed have asked after a loan.

29 Jan 2021 16:08:30
Never heard of the guy before. Can any of the eds say if this rumour has legs?

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2021 16:32:06
Might be seen as a more reliable option than Subotic ed002? In that he might have a better chance at staying fit for the next few months? Subotic makes sense on paper but he’s hardly been playing due to injury, I’m sure the club are thinking about him and wondering will he be able to play multiple games. I hope we manage to bring in someone but I can’t help but feel the options out there are slim pickings at best.

remember when arsenal loaned kim kallstrom? that was funny.

Ed2 - if say for example FSG do sanction a big money transfer for a top CB like Upamecano, how would they do it? Lend to spend?

Long-time Reds supporter here in the U. S. I have to admit I'm a bit surprised by the Aaron Long rumor (yes I know, we don't spell it as "rumour" over here, sorry) . I've seen him play quite a few times. Can he defend well enough to do a job for Liverpool? Probably, for what Liverpool need him for, and he's arguably better than Williams or Phillips in this aspect. Is he good enough with the ball at his feet? No. Not at all. Do with this what you will.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 09:11:53
So Aspas, we just make sure he gets the ball from the attacker and then gives a 2 yard short pass to the nearest player who can actually do something with the ball 😁😁.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Ed’s I know you mentioned the other day that Subotic could be possible in your opinion. Do you think the owners hands will bow be forced and we may actually see some incoming this window maybe even more than just a stop gap and actually go and get one of JK’s top targets or is it just not feasible at all.

{Ed002's Note - Firstly, it is not the decision of the "owners". However, the club should have addressed the problem already but the issue would be who to drop from the squad for the second half of the season. They may have been waiting to see how van Dijk and Gomez are progressing. If it is certain one will not fully recover in the coming months they need to remove them from the squad and probably look to a loan as a longer term solution won't be available or affordable. This is why I mentioned Subotic. To me he seems the ideal solution for a short-term contract.}

29 Jan 2021 12:51:13
For me, in the last 24 hours, we've gone from needing one centre back to two! Don't get me wrong I'm not living in a dream world, we won't sign two, we'll be lucky to get one. A loan or a short term option seems the most likely and realistic. Van Dijk for me would be removed from the squad, as well as he is doing, I can't see him being match fit before the end of the season, Gomez more likely could be towards the end of the season. We will see what happens, we have been surprised on more than one occasion. Who saw Jota signing in the summer!

Guys let's believe in klopp. he knows what can be done better than us who won't know most things. besides eds have been constantly reminding us abt our financial state. let's believe in our squad😄😄😄.

Ed002, do you know the nature of Subotic's injury? I also think he's a great addition but if he is currently injured and likely to be out for a couple of months (for example) I guess the club wouldn't be keen.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He is available to play - he had a muscle pull in his groin around Christmas. He will lack match fitness.}

29 Jan 2021 12:54:19
Does Subotic not have injury issues also?

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2021 13:37:52
Thanks Ed and I completely agree Jord I mentioned on here at the start of the season that I thought we needed 2 Gomez and Joel can’t be relied upon and neither are good enough to really push VVD and keep him on his toes now that seem apparent more than ever.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2021 13:46:45
I read another news mentioning that we're also linked with USA Captain - Aaron Long for 6 months loan deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2021 18:04:09
Muscle injury in Christmas? Lacking match fitness? Dang, I think we're better off playing Rhys.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Jan 2021 18:58:08
Isn’t Subotic supposed to be a bit of a nob?

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2021 18:00:24
I know it's been mentioned but was about milatao Ed's? Looks decent and seems to be available on loan.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath. The discussions about him have centred around another player and a summer move seems far more likely - it is nothing to do with Liverpool.}
