So the transfer window is shut but some some confirmation are still going to come through. Ed001 is their a minuscule chance they may have made something pass the finish line or can we go to bed now? Thanks again for all the hard work this months eds, and all the guys that tried to give all of us a bit of information.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

{Ed001's Note - get some sleep mate. If they have done something, it will still be there in the morning anyway.}

Marokivic has left to anderlecht on loan.

Believable6 Unbelievable2

Here's hoping a solid half season sees teams trying to purchase.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Feb 2018 12:41:41
I think it would be better all round if we let him go on a free transfer. He has been messed about by us enough, let him have a career elsewhere and good luck to the lad.

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Feb 2018 13:33:38
He will be able to leave for free end of season won’t he?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No.}

Flanno to Nottingham forest.

Believable10 Unbelievable8

31 Jan 2018 20:05:33
On his own or? :)

Agree4 Disagree5

31 Jan 2018 20:13:59
I hope this is true, he is taking up a position in our development team for no reason! 25 year old should be playing regularly.

Agree15 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 20:39:51
Flanno should be thanking his lucky stars he is not taking up a place in gaol.

Agree14 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 21:06:03
He should just be sacked, bloody bully, he's scum and needs to be out of Liverpool.

Agree22 Disagree17

31 Jan 2018 21:55:01
He should have had his contract terminated after a disciplinary.

Agree16 Disagree6

31 Jan 2018 22:03:02
Bolton on loan.

Agree13 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 19:20:39
Eds, any chance of any player arriving tonight? Demirbay would be great.

Believable6 Unbelievable2

{Ed001's Note - yes.}

31 Jan 2018 19:25:47
Come on Ed, please spill the beans.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - don't get too excited, Liverpool have a tendency to let us down after all. It is more about outs tonight.}

31 Jan 2018 19:26:48
Don’t tease people ed lol
Even when we have made deadline day deals when was the last time it went so late in the day with no news and we managed to get somebody signed up?
Remember the yarmolenko fiasco lol.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - Ayre's finest hour that was.}

31 Jan 2018 19:27:28
Jesus Ed1 you've got me more excited now mate, going to crack open a beer and chill out lol.

Agree0 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 19:30:06
Ed001 is it nabby or is there someone else in the offing.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I wouldn't expect Keita mate. They never got a replacement in that I am aware of anyway, could have missed it like as I have been so busy.}

31 Jan 2018 19:31:29
Is Demirbay that player Ed001?

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - yes mate. Though it is Liverpool so don't get excited.}

31 Jan 2018 19:36:33
Interesting who can we sign now.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 19:38:37
Who Ed1? Or am I reading too much onto your yes?

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 19:38:49
Any chance of a player you would be pleased to see join us arriving tonight Ed 001?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't know.}

31 Jan 2018 19:39:16
Evening ed001.

Showing my ignorance here.

Demirbay? Any good and would he be a first team starter? What positron?!

Cheers.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - not seen him play that I can remember sorry.}

31 Jan 2018 19:40:48
who is the player Ed001?

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 19:42:39
U winding us up edo1.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 19:44:10
Thanks for the reply Ed001. Hopefully they can surprise us.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 19:49:37
So is it true that his representatives are in liverpool?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't know where his reps are but they do not need to be in Liverpool to complete a deal.}

31 Jan 2018 19:51:34
Ed literally just said the player was Karim Demirbay.

So why are people asking who it is?

Agree7 Disagree4

31 Jan 2018 20:03:32
Cheers ed, appreciated mate.

Played well against us in the Champs League qualifiers.

Fingers crossed.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 20:07:38
they would have asked before he confirmed who it was.

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 20:09:17
LFC-S MANGO. Because mate prople ask and then the reply go's up before some asking the question. If that makes sense.

Thank ed for sharing mate. let's see.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 20:09:27
Was it not Konoplyanka Ayre tried negotiating on deadline day? Or have i got him and Yarmolenko mixed up for all these years lol?

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - no I think you are right, Yarmolenko is the one Everton were always linked with. My mistake.}

31 Jan 2018 20:12:39
But has the club made contact with hoffeinheim? what would the fee be around since the 32 million euro release clause is activated in the summer.

Agree0 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 20:22:08
Trust me on this, it won't happen in this window at least!

I'm near 100% sure on this, I heard about this going on in the background weeks and months ago, but not for this window unless it's a loan to buy which is of course even more unlikely, sorry.

Agree3 Disagree6

31 Jan 2018 20:31:40
And u didn’t care to mention it Kev nice of u mate.

Agree11 Disagree2

31 Jan 2018 20:32:52
Leipzig announced Lookman on loan from Everton. Maybe in Naby's place (or wishful thinking)?

Agree2 Disagree5

31 Jan 2018 20:40:57
hasnt the german window closed.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 20:51:12
They can still sell but not buy. This one will go to the wire by the looks of it. Hopefully we can get it over the line. Looked decent in the Champions League Qualifiers.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 20:53:52
The German window hasn't closed Mr RED, I don't think lol. Ed🤔.

Agree0 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 21:01:30
Klopp literally said there is no chance of signings.

Agree2 Disagree4

31 Jan 2018 21:01:49
Adam,
I did mention this back in early January mate, if you use the search function and search for Demerbay (had the wrong spelling at the time, apologies about that), the whole conversation should come up mate.

Agree4 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 21:06:07
Kev did tell us though, Adam? 🤔

09 Jan 2018 15:41:08
"A mate of mine who lives in Germany has told me that we had scouts watching Karim Demerbay (spelling is probably wrong) of Hoffenheim very recently.

He is a Turkish-German lad who has turned out for Germany a few times. He's very technical and has wicked left footed free kicks. Not blessed with pace but can dribble well and a pretty powerful left foot.

I remember some of his indirect free kicks caused us problems (as well as our overly high line) in the Champions League play offs.

Not sure if this is a Lallana long term replacement being looked at if true, doubt it's to replace Coutinho but we'll see. "

OIrish Kev 1.

Agree16 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 21:10:47
Don’t know much about him to be honest, had a look on wiki and it’s got a great story of when he was handed a fantastic punishment by the German FA for sexist comments.

Agree0 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 21:14:40
I just meant today mate I do remember the talk at the time mate I think he’d be a good signing we do lack a left footer in the midfield.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 21:26:11
A few of those guys around still sadly Mikey yeah.
Also see the most recent Sevilla manager's profile/ backstory, although he still denies it to this day (can't remember his name, sorry, he was in charge until around November/ December 2017).

MK, Thanks for searching that out for me, much appreciated mate - top man as always!

Adam, no worries mate, I still don't see this happening, probably not even in the summer, he's not a bad player but not necessarily good enough for what we would be hoping for.
Reminds me of Lallana personally but not as good.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 21:36:01
Really Kev I kinda see him as a xabi Alonso type of player mate just my thoughts having seen abut of him think he’d do alryt for us def a Emre replacement .

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 21:45:58
I doubt we can get the deal done at this time?

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - and me. Early nights all round I think. I hope anyway as I am knackered!}

31 Jan 2018 21:53:40
Is there a serious interest or is it one of those if it happens situations?

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 21:54:01
You could well be right Adam, I honestly haven't seen enough of him mate to be 100% sure.

He just reminded me of Lallana when I did see him for some reason, might have been the Heineken :)

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2018 03:48:10
From what I was told earlier in the month, it is/ was serious interest but a few things had to occur first for it to happen in this window.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 18:57:34
Wilson to Hull!

Good move for him as he is miles ahead of U23’s. Can show what he’s made of in a tough league!

All the best to the future of wales!

Believable16 Unbelievable0

31 Jan 2018 19:11:58
Forget Wales.

Agree5 Disagree11

31 Jan 2018 19:21:00
Good to see players like Ejaria, Wilson, Ojo getting good levels of professional football experience. Not all will make it but this is a big step forward to testing them out at a very competitive level.

Agree4 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 20:51:24
Oi Davey bootle watch it lad forget Bootle you mean.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - woah there! You can never forget the great Bootle!! It is where legends are made....}

31 Jan 2018 23:03:22
He has also signed a new long term contract.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 16:58:44
WonderDogSparky tweeting again here is his tweet:

"Sparky is suprised to see Nobby's car in the drive. "

Doesn't seem very cryptic so I would say he's winding us up. Wait he always does that haha.

Believable9 Unbelievable3

31 Jan 2018 17:06:31
Came back to say his goodbyes!

Agree3 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 17:32:07
Keita rumours again he’s signed 5 times over this window 😂.

Agree14 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 18:20:45
I guess he’s still house hunting 😏.

Agree5 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 19:29:01
Keita and Demirbay have the same agent, so in theory could travel in the same car 😉.

Agree6 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 16:54:36
I was reading the Chinese football forum. Apparently there are discussions by China consortium to take over Liverpool. I know it has been brought up before. But this time apparently someone right at top of CCP probably Xi himself, wanted it. We all know what Xi wants Xi gets. And he is ready to straighten whatever bureaucracy that stand in way. Apparently that includes making a call to the Queen and diverting part of CCP national investment fund into the takeover.

From Xi perspective there is no bigger marketing platform than making Liverpool return to the "Perch". That also will sow good credits with western Liverpool football fans in cheap China products. Apparently plans in dossier include bringing in top players, names like Neymar, Griezmann, Kane were mentioned. Make what you may of this. But that's what I read on Chinese forum.

Believable8 Unbelievable10

31 Jan 2018 17:02:34
The Arab Era is dead. Long Live The Chinese Era.
But seriously big IF true but don't see that happening.

Agree3 Disagree4

31 Jan 2018 17:09:11
Good old Chinese takeover of LFC rumours.

FSG will not sell now unless they want to lose all their investment.

Agree6 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 17:21:40
Maccy D’s in the stadium done for.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 17:24:48
A good old takeover rumour love it.

Being a play toy to a billionaire not sure about but hey chelsea and citeh seem happy enough.

Agree4 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 17:24:49
I sincerely doubt it's true but fsg are business men and to say they'd reject it because of investments made may not be accurate. They've spent a lot of money and received little success in return. If there is a good deal brought to them I would imagine they'd listen. It means zip unless ed2 says there's something. Who's brave enough to ask him today?

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 17:24:51
It’s just Chinese whispers 😛.

Agree21 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 18:56:53
Hope it isn’t true cos I can imagine this kind of ownership would have masses of pitfalls, regs issues etc that will ruin the club.

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 18:57:18
Free Prawn Crackers in The Albert then - can't be bad!

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 19:23:46
Nice one Lee - now if you’d said Temasek I might have believed you with that name ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 22:30:41
Lee, you should take away that rumour, but think of all the mee and woo jokes .

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 16:12:20
Hi all new here liverpool are teying to get 2 deals done beforw deadline an are great signings if can be done 1 is attacking mid the other nit sure of yet.

Believable3 Unbelievable19

31 Jan 2018 16:24:08
With spelling like that, I reckon this must be a post from a Russian Bot.

Agree21 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 16:24:56
I'm pretty certain nothing will be done for incomings.

My hope is Markovic will be a sale but it looks like yet another loan. We really should bite the bullet with him. He is simply not going to fetch the fee we have in mind.

10M will be plenty and let him get on with his career.

Agree11 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 16:42:02
Only transfers out today.

Markovic namely.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No.}

31 Jan 2018 16:59:08
In regards to Ed’s response, are you saying this is wrong and you are expecting someone in as well? Or were you simply saying Markovic will likely be a loan and not a transfer?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It is wrong.}

31 Jan 2018 17:08:26
What markovic is not leaving now?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - that probably won't happen right now. Not every window shuts today.}

31 Jan 2018 17:12:20
As long as we aren’t suddenly going in for Mahrez now City have backed off, this could be a very entertaining night then!

Agree3 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 17:17:52
I see what your saying Ed1 cheers!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

31 Jan 2018 17:19:26
Nah very much doubt it.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 17:37:39
I hope its not Mahrez either, not at the £95 million Leicester wanted from City for him! We could buy an awful lot better with that kind of money.

Agree3 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 15:45:16
Lloyd Jones has joined Luton on a permanent transfer, YNWA.

Believable10 Unbelievable0

31 Jan 2018 18:58:36
Not a surprise and they are ambitious and it is still a professional career.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 11:39:31
I've been told that we will come in with an offer closer to Leicester's value for mahrez at somepoint today and he's reported to be very open to moving to us . don't know if it's total crap or if it's got legs to it . just passing it on

For me id welcome it, he possesses real quality on the ball and final delivery is up there with the best which is something I think we are missing, granted I know supposedly attitude issues but same was said about mane and wijnaldum at there previous clubs.

Believable10 Unbelievable27

31 Jan 2018 12:04:50
He's a rather expensive back up to Salah.

Agree13 Disagree12

31 Jan 2018 12:17:03
thanks for posting this rumour JJ, however I doubt it will happen, look more for the departures today, let's hope, bogdan and markovic can find new clubs and kick start there careers.

Agree6 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 12:28:44
If he does have altitude issues, I don’t know personally, then being a rotation player wouldn’t necessarily help with that. But if he was willing to blend with the team then his creativity could be a big plus. Still doubt it will happen.

Agree5 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 12:47:36
haha good one.

Agree1 Disagree2

31 Jan 2018 12:57:32
Altitude issues? Just as well our CL games is in Portugal and not Russia. Poor soul would have to do a Bergkamp and drive everywhere.

Agree4 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 13:00:50
Freshst, I'm sure the altitude in Liverpool will not be an issue for him, it's hardly La Paz.

Agree4 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 13:02:11
What does being afraid of heights have to do with it Fresh?

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 13:04:54
I cannot see us spending £100m on Mahrez when we were apparently reluctant to spend less than that on Lemar. I think aside from outs, there won't be any more coming in, which is a massive gamble.

Agree8 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 13:17:38
Not happening.

Agree4 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 14:22:07
Be a good signing to give mane competition, he’s looking out of it at the moment.

Agree2 Disagree3

31 Jan 2018 14:40:28
I agree MrDennis, God forbid bobby mane or salah gets injured our backup/ replacements are just not upto it for what we need . That's just my opinion by the way.

we always needed defensive reinforcements that's been blatantly obvious for some time now and we still need more, we was very fortunate in the attacking options we had at our disposal.
That now has significantly changed. I know sturridge is a difficult scenario as he's on a massive wage and hardly plays but I always felt he'll get us goals that doesn't happen with ings and solanke and that's what we are left with

Phil going wasn't a surprise so the club knew it was happening and for us not to have a replacement lined up ready to bring in is absolutely farcical, that's a lot of goals and assists we lost when he left.

Clubs say players aren't for sale but if the price is right then any player can be sold regardless what these clubs say. every player has there price

It seems to me and I could be wrong here that Liverpool are wanting these stupid increased figures for players (phil) but won't pay other clubs there asking values when they know we have received a stupid amount of money. we can't have it both ways

We are taking a massive gamble in not making our squad/ team stronger this window, every other team in direct competition with us are. United sign Sanchez arsenal sign him ( not trying to spell his name) and the other one who again I'm not trying to spell it, spurs sign moura and Chelsea sign giroud. It's not like we have a massive points advantage over these teams and can t be caught, we can be caught .

Dont get me wrong I'm a huge fan of klopp and the style he has brought but I am at a loss to understand why we are not trying to strengthen squad and our grip on a top 4 place because without CL football we won't be able to attract players of that calibre.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 14:41:58
No chance. We are still trying to get Griezmann. Plus coutinho doesn't need to be replaced. Shocking.

Agree2 Disagree2

31 Jan 2018 15:02:57
All lies. Nothing is going to happen apart from players leaving.

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 15:36:45
Would anyone do a straight swap between Mane and mahrez. I would think its good business.

Agree0 Disagree12

31 Jan 2018 15:49:57
I think it's quite clear they will be no more incomings this window . Lfc never leave it this late in jan window and klopp has said no more only outgoings .

Agree1 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 16:05:17
Mane is apparently having a bad season and has 9 goals.

Mahrez is apparently back to his best and has 9 goals.

Mane is 3 times the player Mahrez is.

Agree7 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 16:22:29
Agree MK. Mane has had some difficulty due to injury and it isn't easy coming back from that, but he has still weighed in and is far more consistent than Mahrez even on an off day.

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 16:23:56
Lightly rosterd,

Did January 31st 2011 slip your mind mate? :)

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 16:39:18
the rose tinted specs with regards to Mane on here is embarrassing. I would be absolutely delighted if we brought in Mahrez.

Agree1 Disagree3

31 Jan 2018 18:59:47
hoping it was just a typo on my part and not some prophetic comment.
