Zubimendi has agreed to join Liverpool. Extremely talented player and perfect 6 for Slots system.
The fact he turned down Arsenal, United, Barcelona, Bayern and I'm sure others and Richard Hughes got it done (almost) is something. Great times ahead!
1.) 07 Aug 2024 22:32:48
Fingers crossed.
2.) 07 Aug 2024 22:39:52
Any player who can get in the Spanish national midfield whilst playing for a relatively unfashionable club gets a thumbs up from me ?.
3.) 07 Aug 2024 22:43:33
Looks like a good signing for sure (if it happens which it now seems likes) .
With him in the team we'll probably experience less heart attack inducing moments as Liverpool fans haha.
4.) 07 Aug 2024 22:56:24
I hope he can handle occassional thug ball and 10 month winters.
5.) 07 Aug 2024 23:07:37
If he does as well as the last DCM we bought from Sociadad, I'll be happy.
6.) 07 Aug 2024 23:09:36
He’s not joining FC Sibir Novosibirsk, Vango.
7.) 08 Aug 2024 00:00:24
Steady on nothing signed.
8.) 08 Aug 2024 00:22:51
Nothing confirmed yet but it is clearly getting closer. Eds seem to be doing what they usually do and go quiet during this period.
9.) 08 Aug 2024 01:10:55
Here BB what exactly has this got to do with the Ed's being quiet?
10.) 08 Aug 2024 01:15:08
Sociedad are pretty bold for selling both of their star midfielders, merino and zubimendi, wonder what their plans are to replace pretty much their most important players besides take.
11.) 08 Aug 2024 06:17:35
ViktorVaughan-At least luton and burnley went down.
12.) 08 Aug 2024 06:55:04
I’ll get excited when he signs. I still doubt but hope I’m wrong. No.6 shirt available too.
13.) 08 Aug 2024 07:33:14
Vango stop talking utter nonsense.
It’s more like 11 month winters ?.
14.) 08 Aug 2024 08:38:40
In fairness Vango you have just named two worse places to go than Siberia, credit where it’s due.
15.) 08 Aug 2024 09:34:30
Still haven’t seen anything on any platforms saying the player has agreed to the move.
13 Jun 2024 22:30:03
Ed2. I know there were issues with Etienne Reijnen obtaining a work permit. But is is true that he now officially won't be joining because efforts to obtain one is no longer a viable option?
Just read news breaking from last night stating that is the case.
{Ed002's Note - The WP issue has not been resolved so it is less likely.}
1.) 14 Jun 2024 11:25:45
Surely he will go on a skilled workers visa? I imagine he will be on more than £38.5k a year.
{Ed002's Note - It is not quite as simple as that.}
2.) 14 Jun 2024 13:45:47
I saw an article that said there is also a work permit issue for another one of the backroom staff (may have been the goalkeeper coach) . So not the smoothest handover we could have hoped for.
3.) 14 Jun 2024 13:59:26
Apparently he hasn’t got required qualifications. Could an analyst work remotely I wonder until he gets his badges or will we just have to bring someone else in for his job.
18 Apr 2024 16:43:09
Ed2. One for the rumours page.
I saw you did a list the other day on potential outgoings within the Liverpool squad. Are you aware of our plans for Nunez. Is he on the not for sale list or is he available if the right bid comes in?
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any plans to replace him.}
1.) 18 Apr 2024 17:53:46
Okay, cheers Ed2.
Although he has frustrated the life out of many of us of late, including myself. I would like to see how he fairs in a different system and approach.
{Ed002's Note - Sure but he is not looking like a €100M player.}
2.) 18 Apr 2024 18:41:19
Ed2. Sadly I agree. He certainly is not looking like a €100 million player.
3.) 18 Apr 2024 22:23:42
He’s not looking like a £30m player to be honest.
4.) 19 Apr 2024 02:04:15
Don't lie Ron, we all know you love Nunez ;) .
5.) 19 Apr 2024 06:39:34
To be fair to Darwin, he was beginning to look like he could be the real deal - then we inexplicably decided to revert to the late years Wenger / Guardiola lite style of play that was such a disaster last season (presumably to boost Ljinders stock for job interviews or push sales of his book) .
It doesn’t suit him - or most of the squad tbh - and just exposes the weaknesses in his game.
Hopefully Amorim and his coaching staff play to his strengths and we can see the real Captain Chaos again.
6.) 19 Apr 2024 07:45:20
I thought he was doing alright causing problems out in the wing for a bit. But that only seemed to last a few games before he was moved central again. But then, what do I know…?
7.) 19 Apr 2024 08:02:03
If you need an example of what the right or wrong tactics can do for / to a player, look at Amorim’s current star striker - Viktor Gyokores.
In Brighton’s system he looked like a player who’d struggle to get a game on Stanley Park.
But stick him with 2 managers who play to his strengths (Robins at Cov and Amorim at Sporting) and he’s flying.
8.) 19 Apr 2024 08:03:43
He needs to play LW, can't be relied on as the main threat.
9.) 19 Apr 2024 12:50:20
We are overloaded with right footed left wingers.
Drawin is not the best of them.
10.) 19 Apr 2024 18:46:26
Nunez is in the top 5 goals/ assist chart in the top 5 leagues of Europe, which is not a walk in the park, however his easy misses have cost us points, and his erratic nature does not seem to be improving.
21 Aug 2023 11:42:24
Ed2. Has Liverpool looked at Konstantinos Koulierakis the young centre back that plays for POAK in the Greek Super League?
The lad looks a real talent but I understand AC Milan are very much interested. Seeing if there is a possibility for us to make a deal happen.
{Ed002's Note - No, he would not get a WP for the Premier League.}
1.) 21 Aug 2023 14:12:56
Okay cheers ?.
2.) 21 Aug 2023 15:47:07
Football manager? We should look at roony bardgjhi too! and that diouf kid from rennes for midfield!
3.) 21 Aug 2023 18:16:43
@Liveburd031 Football manager? I have a life so don’t have time to be sitting in front of a PC playing football games.
29 Jul 2023 11:12:32
Ed. Do we have any interest in Florentino Luis? Are Benfica even open to selling this summer given the right price or is he in the not for sale category?
{Ed002's Note - Florentino (DM) Scouts continue to watch Benfica but they have no interest in selling Florentino Luis unless his buy out clause is met or nearly matched. Seen by Barcelona as a potential Busquets replacement, but, too expensive although they would look to include a player or two.Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool spoke with his agent last summer. Manchester City want to upgrade Kalvin Phillips and Florentino fits the bill. For Liverpool he would realistically be a Fabinho replacement but they are looking at others so can realistically be discounted. PSG were interested but have moved for Ugarte so they can be discounted. Napoli, Arsenal and Milan offer less likely options although with Tonali now departing Milan we may see an increase of interest in him but at nothing close to his buy out clause and they will want to include players. Wildcard would be Chelsea but they have a much preferred option. His sale would also be dependent on buying a replacement and the one they have in mind is edging toward a move elsewhere.}
1.) 29 Jul 2023 12:08:08
Cheers Ed2. Much appreciated ?.
2.) 29 Jul 2023 13:06:07
Isn’t his buy out clause about £100m. That’s going to put a lot of clubs off.
3.) 30 Jul 2023 12:22:25
If we are signing any player for 100m this season, it should be Gvardiol.
I know, Ed02. It's not going to happen.

Ed1. You shouldn’t waste your time going back and forth with that poster. It’s not worth it.
12 Aug 2024 21:29:57
Well, that was a waste of time. Thought it was basically done in the first couple of days it broke. But as it dragged I knew it would go this way. Now can we move on to targets that want to come and don’t need convincing.
06 Aug 2024 19:53:30
Ed1. I have come to realise Romano is basically I glorified agent and I’m sure he receives money to promote players. Ornstien to be fair is pretty solid with info and is usually the one to break a transfer.
I don’t blame you on giving up sharing what you know from your contact, especially if you were receiving abuse. Don’t have to say names or anything but do you know who Ornstien is referring to as this 6 we are going to sign that plays outside of the Prem?
17 Jul 2024 11:35:34
We can’t sign every player under the sun but you mean to tell me if we match United’s bid he would choose United who aren’t even in Champions League over us? I trust Edwards and Hughes but if we don’t make a move for him I find it odd. Just my personal opinion, which I’m entitled to.
VVD is 33 years old. 3 things are guaranteed in life and that’s death, taxes and Konate getting injured every season. I don’t want to hear about Gomez at CB because he simply doesn’t and hasn’t played there in years. Yoro is 18 years old who is good now with potential to improve significantly under the right coach and environment, which we now have. Not to mention the fact we actually need a CB.
Richard Hughes spoke about being opportunistic in the market. Well, the Yoro deal is exactly that. We don’t seem to be sticking to targets but instead having a target and then changing the target every other week, which is not how Edwards (I know it’s now Hughes) usually does things.
14 Jun 2024 13:12:33
My bad Ed2.
{Ed002's Note - No problem - just repost it.}
08 Jan 2025 17:38:59
Ed1. Just realised I created a new post addressed to Ed7 thinking he was the one posting about Elon Musk. I can now see 007 is a poster and not an Ed, so if you can see it on the backend please delete. Cheers ?.
{Ed001's Note - got it mate.}
05 Jan 2025 00:13:11
Those thinking it’s a derby, form goes out the window, United will make it a close game - well I’m thinking the complete opposite. Slot has us focused, controlled but importantly clinical. He will have the boys go out and play his way, and by doing so I think we will beat them comfortably.
Now, I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure Amorim said after their last defeat that he will continue to play the same way. I’ll just call it, If he turns up to Anfield and sets up the same way, It might end up 6, 7 or even worse with no reply.
