Thanks Eds, lol!

I've seen the light.

I now believe the L, not the o.

Think about it.

Am I the only one thinking "huh? "

Long story!

We have a while Zeddicus, take it away.

What is this o you speak of I'd like t know more about it.

Orson.

So there are two explanations for this.

1) I was replying to another thread, got bored of my own reply (! ) and went to press 'close' but pressed reply instead. So I immediately posted to the same thread again explaining what had happened and asking the eds to delete my reply. As this was around the time of the window closing, and the eds were just coming to the end of 127 hour shifts, I think they thought it would be funny to post my aborted reply as a rumour instead. Or;

2) In an alternative reality lives an almighty Oracle named 'O'. He reigns supreme and knows everything about everything, and he's also a part time rodeo clown. His knowledge, however, is only absolute as long as he is believed by all. Even just one doubter dents his power and makes his knowledge imperfect. Therefore, we are all required to pay homage and state fealty to the great 'O' on a weekly basis. However, to complicate matters, 'O's immediate superior is 'L' (or 'Likely Source of All Rumours' to give him his full name) . So believing in 'L' means you automatically believe in 'O' too. Essentially, swearing fealty to 'L' is a labour saving option as 'O' still gets reflected glory.

Up to you which one you choose to believe 😀😀.

Agree13 Disagree4

01 Sep 2016 23:11:57
Haha I'm going for the 2nd option. But I'm not paying state fealty.

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Sep 2016 08:59:48
It's the 2nd the eds wouldn't be so cruel! Believe in the L!

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Sep 2016 15:15:19
I thought he believed Walcott or something.

Great rumour anyway.
Seen the banter pages guys?

Markovic has agreed to a loan at Sporting.

Believable4 Unbelievable5

31 Aug 2016 22:34:34
Confirmed on SS.

Agree1 Disagree2

31 Aug 2016 18:24:03
markovic on loan to sporting?

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - It is looking like it can be done. The baulked at the asking price for a transfer but would like a loan with an option to buy at a reasonalble price. His agent is elsewhere right now but a third party negotiating the deal is confident it will go ahead.}

31 Aug 2016 18:55:08
that's good give him a chance after we messed him around yet another of Rogers kids that had their career halted.

Agree5 Disagree7

31 Aug 2016 21:02:27
Why, forget injuries but mane and his pace will be gone in January. Could do with msrkovic and his.

We already own him and probably paying some of his wages whilst on loan, why not keep him and see what he learns from klopp and coaches. Settles in with the likes of grujic and trains with mane.

Mane goes and this whole summer goes.

Agree1 Disagree14

31 Aug 2016 21:57:36
@Supermane

I disagree, when Mane is unavailable Ojo can cover capably - he's quick and direct and very highly rated.

Don't be so dramatic.

Markovich also deserves the chance to rebuild his career elsewhere after BR messed him about.

Agree10 Disagree1

01 Sep 2016 00:27:53
maybe we should have left markovic where he came from for a couple of years to develop. its a shame how things have turned out for him so far.

Agree11 Disagree0

01 Sep 2016 15:08:52
Didn't they move the ACON to the summer?

Agree0 Disagree3

05 Sep 2016 20:01:20
I doubt that because as an African who grew up in Nigeria, it is the rainy season and trust me when it rains, it POURS down there in the Motherland.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2016 17:38:27
Eds is there a chance Llori staying and fighting for his place with Sakho being told he won't play this season? Obviously after injuries to our first choice CB's.

Believable1 Unbelievable9

{Ed001's Note - it is more a case of being unable to find a taker for him that he might end up staying.}

31 Aug 2016 18:36:34
As another poster said recently:

India-Lima-Oscar-Romeo-India

😉😉.

Agree18 Disagree3

31 Aug 2016 17:32:07
Ed 01 do you think spurs will come in for lallana after they've failed in getting their targets recently.

Believable0 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - no, I think they moved on a while ago mate due to the price. Levy will not go above the price he believes is correct.}

31 Aug 2016 17:46:27
thanks for the reply Ed . I was hoping a late move for him and one for us . oh well deadline day not going to be much fun tonight on sky then.

Agree1 Disagree5

31 Aug 2016 18:07:15
Levy is an eejit then.
Surely for a player you just pay way over the odds?

Agree3 Disagree6

31 Aug 2016 18:40:07
I'm sure that was sarcasm Agger.

Chillwell?

Agree2 Disagree3

31 Aug 2016 20:32:28
It was Zeddicus.

Agree3 Disagree2

31 Aug 2016 17:11:42
So, Luis Alberto becomes our 30th departure from our first team or U21 team of the summer, 20 permanent and 10 loans.

By any measure that's a fair amount of paperwork, and there's still six hours to go.

Believable10 Unbelievable4

31 Aug 2016 17:31:32
And people question our activity in the market!
The squad was massively bloated we couldn't just keep buying, the squad had to be trimmed so we could build for the future.

Agree14 Disagree4

31 Aug 2016 18:26:11
Make that 31 departures - Andre Wisdom has just signed on loan for Red Bull.

Agree4 Disagree2

31 Aug 2016 20:00:00
Any chance of listing the 31.

Agree1 Disagree3

31 Aug 2016 20:19:33
Eds, I am quite happy to list the 31 departures if you don't mind. Great work by your good selves by the way .

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed041's Note - send it in as a new post and I'll put it on the others page mate for everyone to look at and it won't get lost.

31 Aug 2016 21:08:25
Done, now on the "others" page, Balotelli makes it 32 departures at the moment .

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Aug 2016 09:29:39
hi Eds,

Are Liverpool shown any interest in Fulham's Sessegnon? I know he is only a cub but seems a lot of people are raving about him.

Believable2 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - he has been watched but there has been no attempt to sign him.}

31 Aug 2016 11:17:36
He's gone out on loan.

Agree0 Disagree3

31 Aug 2016 10:16:27
Sakho just turned down Besiktas loan. To be fair, I wouldn't want to live in Turkey right now either.
Somewhere like Valencia would be an interesting move for him. Or West Ham maybe if he's to stay in England.

Believable8 Unbelievable5

31 Aug 2016 11:01:22
Bit surprised PSG aren't in for a loan, as Luiz may go to Chelsea.

Agree5 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - It is what Sakho wants.}

31 Aug 2016 11:01:54
Hmm, except Valencia are going for Mangala and West Ham want Micah Richards. I'd advise them both to go for Sakho instead, but they probably won't listen to me. Not least because I'm not actually within earshot of them. Can you pass on the tip for me, please Eds? ;)

Agree5 Disagree2

31 Aug 2016 13:52:49
Give it a try Jurgen Meister.

Agree1 Disagree3

31 Aug 2016 13:47:57
Hey Ed2. is there any chance of him getting back to PSG today.?

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - I cannot answer "any chance" questions.}

31 Aug 2016 15:22:07
Seems he is set to stay. PSG don't want him then?

Hope he wises up and can smooth things over with Klopp.

Agree1 Disagree1

31 Aug 2016 09:12:37
Heard a rumour this morning that we may make a last minute push for Leeds left back, Charlie Taylor.

No idea how true this is, just got talking to the cashier in the petrol station and he seemed adamant.

Believable4 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - As I said previously I would not totally discount it. However, Leeds did get a significant offer from another EPL side yesterday.}

31 Aug 2016 09:37:17
Was it Everton ed.

Agree0 Disagree3

{Ed002's Note - No.}

31 Aug 2016 09:58:20
I believe he might end up on Merseyside playing for the team in blue.

Agree1 Disagree5

31 Aug 2016 09:58:41
He got destroyed by Oliver Burke on Saturday. the 19 year old who just left forest. It's Burke we should have got.

Agree8 Disagree3

31 Aug 2016 11:02:10
Burke looks great, but unless it was a buy then loan he wouldn't have played.

Agree3 Disagree2

31 Aug 2016 11:18:59
I think Klopp made a conscious decision quite some time back ago to not go for a left back (after the Chilwell botching), because he trusts Milner enough to do an adequate job in the position. It also frees up one place in an already crowded midfield (in addition to Milner's rumored "must play" contract clause) . Where do you play Milner now that Mane is in the team? If Milner can bring the same hardwork and effort to the LB position as he did on the wing, then we'll surely be better off than with the risky Moreno. The differences are obvious and glaring. I agree with Ed001 that playing a righty on the left side is a weakness. But it'a not a perfect world. I'd be more than surprised if anyone is brought in before tonight's deadline.

Agree3 Disagree3

31 Aug 2016 13:44:08
A buy then loan would have suited all parties, the way he was improving at forest they must have been doing something right. We should send a couple youngsters there way, seem to do well, bamford lascelles darlow burke in the last couple of years came through the academy.

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - That is not how loans work.}

31 Aug 2016 16:57:13
I can't see how we can hope to reach top 4 with Milner as our left back. Don't get me wrong he does a decent job there but his positional awareness for that position isn't good enough and will cost us goals similar to the spurs goal. I'm very surprised a manager of Klopps ability hasn't focused on bringing in a top left back when he payed 25 million for a player we didn't really need.

Agree3 Disagree4

31 Aug 2016 18:37:45
"I can't see how we can hope to reach top 4 with Milner as our left back"

We won the CL with Djimi Traore in that position, and I rate Milner more highly than him at LB.

Agree3 Disagree0

31 Aug 2016 20:26:05
to what ed 2 said Rest of the squad salaries are listed below and the data is taken from trusted sources like Guardian, BBC, Premierleague. com etc.

Daniel Sturridge and James Milner are the two highest paid players in Liverpool ranks with both taking home £120,000 a week salary. Captain Henderson and Coutinho who signed new financially improved deals last year earn £100,000 a week.
Liverpool Player Wages and Contracts 2016-17.

NE red are people not allowed to learn anymore? Are players just born a position on the pitch and that can never be altered? The more he plays, trains and thinks like a full back the better he will become. I really do hate this 'he's not a left back' rubbish. He has all the attributes to be a decent left back (aside from being right footed but I don't see that as a massive issue) so if he puts his mind to it and is taught the role his positioning will improve. It's really not that hard to understand.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2016 01:45:13
Any updates on loans for youngsters Connor Randall, Cameron Brannagan, Pedro Chirivella? Or the surplus players Tiago Ilori, Lazar Markovic? Is liverpool still insisting on the 75% time played clause?
