Ed002
For old times sake, any chance of a Sharkopod? I miss the music fine sir. The information was pretty good too?.

Cryptic.
2.) 03 Aug 2024 08:35:01
That would be amazing ed2. Just think of all the new posters who’d get a kick out of it. For the love of god, will you not think of all the new posters?
{Ed002's Note - My problem remains making the time.}
3.) 03 Aug 2024 14:11:49
I didn’t even realise you made clocks Ed002.
I’ll see myself out.

Watching from the States. Jon Champion just said this could be VVD last season at LFC. Anybtruth in this?
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of Liverpool looking to sell him nor his agent offering him around. However, there needs to be a succession plan.}
1.) 25 Feb 2024 18:42:15
Vvd told its his first as a captain so that means there are more to come.
2.) 26 Feb 2024 10:47:30
Quansah is that plan.
3.) 26 Feb 2024 20:03:31
The bloke was carved from granite and is a true juggernaut. I am just so glad he chose to spend the best years of his career with Liverpool, we are so blessed.
4.) 28 Feb 2024 18:42:12
All of a sudden Quansah is VVD. He’s good but just stop with the rubbish comparisons.

If you might oblige. I was reading where PSG is looking to offload Newmar. With Messi also going do you expect them to move for Mo?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Mo Salah (RW) His agent is hawking him around for one last big payday - Real Madrid are not interested, PSG may be, Middle East certainly.
PSG are looking to let Neymar find a new home as well as Messi, but they have other options in mind.]
1.) 09 May 2023 12:18:34
Ed002, have Liverpool been scouting any right wingers in case Salah does go to PSG or the Middle East?
I know you've mentioned Lindstrom and Mount who can play RW but they're very different to Salah.
{Ed002's Note - No because they gave Salah a huge new contract.}
2.) 09 May 2023 14:32:15
I can’t understand why Madrid have never really attempted to buy Salah Ed002. I appreciate you’ve said before about Salah’s agent being laughed out of Madrid due to pay demands but were they that obscene like Gareth Bale or Eden Hazzard type of wages?
It just feels like certain clubs don’t maybe appreciate the quality Salah has had thru the seasons, especially going back 2/ 3 seasons.
I appreciate it might sound as if I would want Salah out the door, which is far the case, merely that I find it quite surprising that the big Spanish clubs or even PSG haven’t made a bigger push before. Cheers.

Having put him on a massive (in LFCs terms) longterm contract I can’t see the club letting Mo go unless there is really massively silly transfer fee involved. We don’t have to sell and as well as being a great player he serves a purpose until Gordon is fit and ready to go in a couple of years.
4.) 10 May 2023 02:03:27
@WDW, I think Doak has overtaken Gordon in terms of development in recent times. Currently, he is the one I'd be looking at to be the long-term successor to Salah.
5.) 10 May 2023 03:18:58
I think Doak did well in his cameo but I’d reserve judgement until Gordon is fit. The club seem to rate Gordon and also seem happy to play the long game in terms of waiting for him to get over the injury.
6.) 10 May 2023 05:57:50
Fair enough WDW. I am leaning more towards Doak but that is mainly because personally, I feel that he impressed more in his cameos than Gordon did in his.
7.) 10 May 2023 09:39:37
Fair enough @Dracred - either way we have a couple of good prospects, a nice position to be in.
8.) 12 May 2023 01:57:23
my sense on clubs not harassing us for Mo is that they simply don't rate his value for them as highly as he is playing for us.

Ed002
Trying to wrap my head around the future of the game if rubbish hits the fan. Realistically how many clubs do you see having to fold? Would they be able to come back from this? And would this possibly make the breakaway league more feasible? And lastly what will this shutdown mean for transfers and the market as a whole. Do you see fees coming down?
Cheers
Matt in FL.
{Ed002's Note - A lot there Matt. But I will give it a shot: (1) As you know I hold a reasonably strong view in terms of the need to restructure football in Europe regardless. For me an eventual a breakaway pan-European league would force the restructuring of many of the national leagues, possibly resulting in a British league with perhaps only a couple of professional tiers and then regionalised amateur leagues below that. Wheether or not this could be a result of the current crisis I don't know, but clubs at all levels are working close to the wire - Premier League and other senior clubs throughout Europe have budgetted game income to pay wages as an example. Financially, even in the short-term, I do not see that so many English and Welsh pro sides can be sustained within the sport which, like it or not, will see more and more money going in to the highest levels of the game. Governments will ensure that grassroots sport get funding but everything in the middle (Southern, Northern, Conference, Division 2, Scottish Divisions 1-3, League of Wales will not get the funding needed to continue on any sort of professional basis. For me, clubs should already recognise this and put their efforts in to getting there finances in order to see if they can make it to a British professional league that will need to flourish without perhaps six sides that have eventually gone down the pan-European route - and have gone for good (it would be two or perhaps three initially). Clubs like Accrington Stanley will need to carry on as amateurs or face extinction (yet again). Clubs like Bury are drifting away, clubs like Hartlepool have been struggling - again they need to adapt. (2) The mighty Third Lanark have started their long journey back to the top - it can be done. Accrington Stanley have done it. Bradford Park Avenue are fighting to do it. (3) No, the breakaway is viable but the clubs would not look to this as an excuse. (4) It rather depends when the mess starts to clean up across Europe. It is possible that some clubs may not be in a position to do what they want financially. There are fewer and fewer cash rich clubs that may be able to control the market to some extent. But prices for players wanted by the English sides are well beyond what most clubs would pay. So timing is a big deal here.}

Hi Ed002,
I don’t like the idea of euro breakaway league? For me the idea of winning or getting into the top is part of the excitement. Then by doing so you’re allowed to play the top teams in European football then.
How would playing only the top teams every year then be viewed after a while? What would it cost the fans in season tickets? What would the cost be of fans traveling to away game in Europe every other week?
These are just my views Ed, but to me the idea of playing Europe’s elite week in, week out is a no go. I would more inclined to scrap the league cup and have a mini tournament like fifa are doing. Ed, would be interesting to get your views. Do you think a breakaway league will work.
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - The game has changed significantly and will continue to do so whether the Liverpool supporters like it or not - and I appreciate that the Liverpool supporters know that they are notr part of the group of 21 "elite" sides discussing it. Football at the highest level is big business and attracts the sponsorship it does because the sponsors wish to tap in to the disposable income of the fans and ride the back of the advertising that flows naturally from the success some clubs achieve. Long gone are the days of the cloth-capped, hobnailed-booted, chimney sweep making his way, rattle in hand, to cheer on his team at Anfield on a Saturday afternoon. I have explained that there will be changes, probably within the next 10 to 12 years, which will force the restructuring of all of the leagues in Europe and likely do away with the likes of UEFA. You will have the opportunity to see the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus and the other major European sides play in week-on-week regular competition at The Emirates, Stamford Bridge or wherever. Fans of the sides who take the plunge will have the opportunity to visit cities such as Milan, Barcelona, Munich, etc. every couple of weeks to watch their team play. It is far from expensive to make the trips and in many cases cheaper than paying British Rail to visit London. If you want to don your cloth cap, have a pint of wallop with your chums before going off to the local match through the grim, wet and cobbled streets of the Northwest of England where there is smog, dead & dying pit ponies laying on the street and only chips and fried curry to eat, perhaps one of the sides from the suburbs will have survived so you can go and watch them? There is no doubt it would work.}

The game, like all spectator sports, is based on emotion. And nothing will replace the emotion of, for a Liverpool fan, beating United, Everton, Arsenal, City, etc. And same for fans of the other teams. Visiting Barcelona, or Munich, or Rome - aesthetically a better experience? No doubt. Emotionally better? Probably not.
So while the pan-European league is possible, partly because top clubs have to eventually pay 20, 30, or 40 million a year for top players, it is not inevitable. Such a scenario is only possible with ever growing broadcast or streaming revenues.
Moreover, while team allegiances will remain, at some point there is the danger of paying spectators being turned off from traveling and cheering for super wealthy mercenaries with whom they no longer have anything in common.

ESPN reporting fee agreed for Allison.
1.) 18 Jul 2018 14:51:52
Anyone worried about the medical?
2.) 18 Jul 2018 15:58:33
Worried about his first mistake.
3.) 18 Jul 2018 17:39:26
He'll drop the pen to sign the contract.
4.) 18 Jul 2018 20:04:30
Not worried about his medical at all, his injury record to date is
Muscle injury - June 2015, out for 15 days
And another muscle injury in may this year, out for 4 days only lol.

Why not keep Nunez on the left with Gakpo?

Hope you love North Americans as much as South bud.

Read an article hiw Mbappe is being mentored by LeBron James. There are connections to the club. Still unlikely, but fun to think about.
19 Jul 2023 00:09:48
What if we sold Diaz for 200 mill. And bought Mbappe???????♂️.

VVVV
If Lewandowski signs, and that leads to more trophies, that is a success in my book.
