Luis Diaz has apparently turned down a contract extension. Do we think this is about money or Barcelona?
{Ed025's Note - money i imagine BR, he will see the "fun boy three" being offered massive pay deals and wanting a piece of the action i expect mate..
1.) 11 Jan 2025 12:11:51
Wouldn’t blame him. Should have cashed on him last summer. Now Barcelona will skin us as they don’t have the cash and he wants them ??????.
2.) 11 Jan 2025 12:15:08
He wants out and has done for ages, I doubt he'll sign a contract, we should flog him in the summer, get what we can before he walks for free next year.
3.) 11 Jan 2025 12:32:33
Cheers Ed. This is why I suspect the club haven't met the three's demands yet because the expectations of the entire squad get out of hand.
{Ed025's Note - thats probably right BR..
4.) 11 Jan 2025 13:11:23
Just curious ED, why do you think most South American players see Real and Barcelona as the ultimate or the pinnacle of club football? Suarez, Coutinho both forcing a move to play for Barca. Diaz and Macca saying they would like to play for one of the Spanish big two etc.
{Ed025's Note - i think its to do with the weather and the culture Mfahmee which is similar to what they are used to at home, the language is also similar and it is probably easier for their respective families to adapt mate..
5.) 11 Jan 2025 14:27:36
But it ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it, Ed025. That’s what get results.
{Ed025's Note - quality mate..
6.) 11 Jan 2025 17:37:43
@mfahmee2
I teach quite a lot of young people from Latin America. They grow up speaking Spanish or Portuguese and support Madrid or Barcelona (as well as their local team) . The football is broadcast in their countries much like the WWE was broadcast in the UK and the influence it had during the 90s/ 00s. It's just a bigger draw for them. And, as the Ed said, same language, similar culture, sunny weather. This is just how I see it from the point of view of my students!
7.) 12 Jan 2025 03:46:10
My wife is Brasilian and I work with quite a few south American players. Generally speaking they love spain, for most it's the same language, for all it's pretty much the same culture and Madrid/ Barcelona are beautiful cities with superb weather.
Then there's the fact that for decades Madrid and Barcelona have been sold to South Americans as the place to be in Europe. Thinn of all the legendary south American players, where do they go? Almost always madrid and Barca. Players will take certain cities in Italy as well, Florence or Milan mainly, and Paris but I've never met a south American player who didn't have to be persuaded to move to uk. The weather is a huge downer for them, they utterly hate it. A few have also said before people aren't as warm and friendly as they're used to back home. People feel more detached.
My wife is a rarity in that everything others don't like about the UK she loves. She think Brazilian people are too nosey and loves the fact we value privacy, she also hates hot weather. She was pretty devastated during the recent race riots that she suddenly felt so unwelcome in a place which she feels is her home in her heart.
13 Sep 2024 12:11:32
Ed, is our interest in Anthony Gordon long-term or has it been and gone? It seems odd that we were prepared to offer one of the highest sums in our history if it was a fleeting thing and the player is certainly keen on specifically us.
Furthermore is our interest in Chris Rigg genuine? Many thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Anthony Gordon (LW/F) Newcastle may insist on a straight sale without another player being involved now although interest of Liverpool moved on due to his price with them opting for Federico Chiesa. It has been suggested that Arsenal may be interested if Raheem Sterling does not work out. Newcastle will ponder a new contract.
Chris Rigg (CM) Kiddie spotted by Chelsea scouts when watching another Sunderland player. Of an age where he can reach the position of being Club Developed as well as Home Grown. Liverpool and Manchester United have sent scouts.}
1.) 13 Sep 2024 13:32:59
I would expect Liverpool to go back in for him next summer looks ready made for Liverpool. I think he has everything needed to play for us.
2.) 13 Sep 2024 13:13:26
Thanks Ed. Is our interest completely dead or could he be an option if Diaz/ Gakpo/ Nunez move on?
{Ed002's Note - If Nunez leaves Liverpool will look to a striker. Liverpool have already added Chiesa.}
3.) 14 Sep 2024 10:15:24
It will be interesting to see how AG develops this season. I think he has the attributes to be a top CF. A deal to be done next summer with 12 months on his contract.
4.) 14 Sep 2024 10:42:45
Seems inevitable that, as a Red that's keen to join, its only a matter of time before.
27 Aug 2024 17:14:18
Ed2, do you still think Luis Diaz could go to Saudi and Anthony Gordon to Liverpool? Thank you in advance.
{Ed002's Note - Chiesa is a better option to Gordon for me. Diaz wants Spain.}
1.) 27 Aug 2024 18:49:24
Gordon would be a reliable, multi-use, long term squad player, who would be playing for his dream team, not to mention he is still developing and is already very good.
2.) 27 Aug 2024 19:24:42
Really hope we get Chiesa as I always admired him as a player. We don’t have great history with Italian players though: Dossena, Aquilani and Ballotelli come to mind. In fact have we ever had a really good one?
3.) 27 Aug 2024 19:39:05
Luis Diaz is on pretty low wages compared to our other forwards. I think if we offer him a new contract that f. eks matches Jota's wages all this talk of spain would go away and he might even play better! Wishful thinking. I think there is much more to come from Diaz!
4.) 27 Aug 2024 19:59:50
Did you forget Borini Jonbonone? Brendan Rodger's 1st signing, Rodgers praised him so much i thought we were signing Baggio!
5.) 27 Aug 2024 20:08:35
Diaz has been great the first 2 matches.
6.) 27 Aug 2024 20:22:49
If Gordon doesn't sign a new contract he'll end up at Liverpool soon enough.
7.) 27 Aug 2024 20:45:38
Brendan should never have been allowed to bring in his old players (Borini, Allen, etc) or had the control to make us bring in Benteke and the like.
8.) 27 Aug 2024 20:53:08
I am a massive fan of chiesa too jonbonone. Looks to be back to his best after the horror injury as well. Would really love this to happen.
9.) 27 Aug 2024 20:58:03
Fiskesprett my guy, I remember the way BR hyped up Borini very vividly and you are right, you would have thought we signed Baggio (an idol of mine, btw) . BR was such a spoofer, it was so cringe.
As for Chiesa, we will have to see. Gordon? Im with Ed02. He can sray exactly where he is.
10.) 27 Aug 2024 21:02:23
The Italians struggling in England isn't a just Liverpool thing though outside of Di Canio and Zola 25 years ago the best success has been Jorginho and if you try to think of one after him its difficult. Ogbonna maybe? Balotelli has his moments at City. Pelle was decent for Southampton but no one really came in and took the league by storm. I can't recall many Italians doing well in Spain or Germany the last 20 years either. Toni for Bayern was good but who else. Considering they've won a euros and a world cup in that time its a surprise how few players have been big hits outside of Italy.
11.) 27 Aug 2024 21:11:18
I wonder what this signing means for one of the existing front 5.
12.) 27 Aug 2024 22:06:37
Fiskesprett I agree. Pay the man more, granted his dad doesn't help but he never once downs tools or looks like he's not trying 100%. Love Lucho me, workrate is superb, yes his end product can improve for sure but there's enough there for me. He's not had a clear full season with the bad injury 2 seasons ago when he was arguably our best player at start of the season, then last year started well again and his auld pair got kidnapped, say what you want about the lad but that can't be easy to deal with.
I don't know if there's more behind the scenes with ed saying he may have burnt his bridges and if that's the case so be it, but all I can see is a man who gives his all and an old school winger (my favourite type of player ever since I set eyes on Macca (shaggy) back in the day) . Would love to keep him and happy to up his wages if he's on as low as mentioned. in comparison to others at his level. And his song is a belter too!
13.) 27 Aug 2024 22:08:40
Ravanelli has to be the best to example of Italian success in prem. Scored 30 goals a season in a relegated middlesbro.
14.) 28 Aug 2024 07:56:59
Chiesa looks a better option than Gordon for that money. Everyone saying that Chiesa is 'broken' have clearly not seen he played 33 games last season and he's hardly going to be playing every game this season with Salah ahead of him.
Chiesa is an insanely talented footballer, he's very direct and suits the prem.
Diaz has started like a house on fire, let's hope we can keep him one more year or see where things are at in January.
Along with Chiesa and the GK, I still think it's 50/ 50 if a CB deal is completed in time. Hope Gomez gets a game soon as he deserves it.
15.) 27 Aug 2024 20:12:58
Thanks Ed. Is there much chance Diaz gets his dream move to Spain or is it a pipe dream for him? Chiesa seems too cheap and too risky to be a replacement for him. More of a supplementary signing like Shaqiri.
{Ed002's Note - I would doubt it.}
21 May 2024 17:03:03
And there it is. I see in a recent interview with The Redmen that Lijnders himself has taken "credit" for the inverted full-back tactics. Apparently Klopp was hesitant but Lijnders had a strop until Klopp relented.
Honestly I'm glad to see the back of this megalomaniac. I have a lot of emotions about the Klopp era but one of the more negative ones is "what if? " What if Klopp didn't have this clown in his ear, muddying his ideas? Would we have won more? No wonder Buvac left.
1.) 21 May 2024 17:23:24
He has a point about the midfield being overran we were getting killed on the counter once we lost Bobby and gini, would of just been easier to go 3 at the back like Amorim or xabi as that seems to be the meta tactic in this era.
2.) 21 May 2024 17:27:37
Even at the send off I found him annoying. Jumped up. Time will tell, I guess.
3.) 21 May 2024 18:16:47
The fella would get up on himself if he could turn quick enough.
4.) 21 May 2024 18:28:58
You are children.
You’ve never been to training, never seen the dynamic and never interacted with any of these people and have decided to service an agenda to come out with this utter bilge.
Most top sides now try to invert fullbacks. Until 2 months ago it was an absolute success for us. We won a cup, we had 7 points robbed off us by awful officiating and you’re spouting this inane nonsense.
Lads, don’t breed.
5.) 21 May 2024 19:14:17
The thing is Why0why that regardless to what you think about Pep he has come out repeatedly on multiple platforms to make it clear how important he has been to our success. That isn’t an agenda on anybody’s part pointing that out, that’s simply a statement of fact.
If you listen/ watch the recent “reds roundtable” with him, Klopp, Alex inglethorp, Cody and Harvey he does something similar there. He is talking about the relationship between the fans, the team and the manager and he starts says “you where able to” (to Klopp) and quickly changes that to “we where able to” mid sentence. Fella can’t help himself.
I thank him for being part of the success and I wish him well but I’m not sad he’s going. I had more than enough ego with Rodgers at the helm.
6.) 21 May 2024 19:40:14
And yet Klopp clearly listened to him. Strange thing for a successful manager to do if Ljinders is "a clown" isn't it?
At the end of the day, if Ljinders' tactics were flawed, doesn't the buck stop with Klopp for going with them instead of saying no or sacking him and getting another assistant?
7.) 21 May 2024 20:30:31
And how do you know the changing it to ‘we’ rather than ‘you’ isn’t because Klopp has told them to speak like that as they are a team and it’s not just about Klopp. I can sort of see what people mean with Linders but Klopp made the final decisions. He comes across ok on the video with the 6 coaches on you tube. Plus his English isn’t perfect so all this he said we and not you is just r language not ego. Anyway if the guy took the training and was an integral part of the tactics he deserves some praise not just criticism.
8.) 21 May 2024 22:05:01
Some people don’t like Lijnders and take comments or media quotes at face value with little or no attempt at placing the snippet they take to heart within any sort of context and thus an opinion is formed that is then presented as fact.
At the end of the day, who cares? Life goes on - the much praisedJurgen has gone, the much criticised Pep has gone. Whatever the dynamic the most exciting era for the club in 35 years or so is over.
Time to open up the next chapter. Here’s hoping that in 10 years time Arne is seem in the same light as Jurgen and held in the same esteem.
9.) 21 May 2024 22:13:19
I'm pretty sure we're allowed an opinion without you screaming at us and telling us not to breed. Get off your high horse.

{Ed0666's Note - I get that feeling also mate. It’s kind of scary the feel good factor emanating out of the club at the moment I just hope it continues for an extremely long time. FSG are playing a blunder at the moment everything they touch is turning to gold.

Apparently Nunez has been liking Instagram posts about moving to AC Milan. From early on, my gut feeling has been that he won't make it at Liverpool. I've wrestled with that and tried to convince myself otherwise but nevertheless the feeling has remained. It's not about the talent. He absolutely has the talent to make it at Liverpool. Something has always just seemed off about him though like he doesn't have the mindset to will himself to make it here. This behaviour is the final confirmation I need. This guy is not going to take destiny into his own hands and force himself to be an undisputed starter at Liverpool.
1.) 02 Jan 2025 17:46:17
I’m not the biggest Nunez fan.
But I think this is over reacting mate and jumping on him for something he is only rumoured to have done.
That being said I think he will be gone before the start of next season.
2.) 02 Jan 2025 18:46:26
There are screenshots of him liking posts. And this isn't the first time he has made a scene on social media.
3.) 02 Jan 2025 19:24:30

I can’t see how they afford him unless there’s one of theirs comes in the other direction.
As it stands, We’re staring down the barrel of losing 3 world class players for nothing, we’re not going to start taking huge losses on Our other players aswel.
6.) 02 Jan 2025 20:01:37
What a joke of a post. “ he doesn’t have the mindset to make it here” the lad is always brimming with confidence. It makes no odds if he misses 20 chances he will still take the next one. He is one of 5 starters depending on the opposition and tactics if he starts. He’s always laughing he looks happy to be here even with some of the daft fans not supporting him. His partner is pregnant and about to give birth to a baby scouser. Your post is the final confirmation that you will not make it here with idiotic posts like that think there is something wrong with your rumbling guts the crap is coming out the wrong end.
7.) 02 Jan 2025 20:03:02
Yeah fiskesprett, blame the fans for asking why Nunez is behaving like this, not the player himself for his open display of disloyalty. Some of you will sweep for anything.
8.) 02 Jan 2025 21:52:13
"Apparently liking posts" is a good reason to condemn him?
Amazing what little it takes to outrage some fans. The 21st century curse.
9.) 02 Jan 2025 22:09:46
Nunez is not a striker brimming with confidence. Utter tosh. A striker brimming with confidence doesn't score 4 in 23. Let's see if you're so bolshy in summer, John.

Thank god I've swerved all social media feels like the worst of all evils to me :)
11.) 02 Jan 2025 22:30:10
Spot on, @Scouse. Behaving like what, @Babbity? Liking some throwaway post? "Open display of loyalty"? What that football are you talking about? You literally said you never liked the guy from jump so your bias is already revealed before Nunez kicked a ball. Also, are you the SM police or something?
Also, did it ever occur to you that he liked the post cos of how funny he may have found the rumour or something? Of course not cos your bias won't let you see any of that.
Mate, you're doing too much here so relax and breathe. Your whole posts are cringe and by your own words, it seems you're following the guy on SM in a stalker-like manner. Good grief.
12.) 02 Jan 2025 23:28:01
I give up babbity let’s swap him for haaland. A goal hanger who scores all his teams goals. Last season city scored 10 goals more than us. The season before when we had midfield nightmare they out scored us by 19? And in that season haaland alvarez and foden outscored Bobby Darwin and mo by about 10 goals. Our goals are shared around more. I’m happy with Darwin better team player than haaland .
13.) 02 Jan 2025 23:38:48
Nunez has an elite mentality. He has taken harsh criticism, he’s had some rough decisions, he’s been benched but that lad never ever falters in his desire and commitment to the team. It’s his best attribute in my opinion. Of all the things to criticise him for, this is the most ridiculous.
14.) 02 Jan 2025 23:46:55
"Doesn't matter if he misses 20 chances he will still take the next one ". WTF lad?
I'm with Babbitty. The mind set is not there. I wish it was. But it's not.
He's not going to make it.
15.) 03 Jan 2025 00:17:35
I’ve never ever detected a lack of confidence in Darwin. I think people are transferring their own feelings onto him.
Especially for a striker, an out of confidence striker on a goal drought mopes around and becomes a toxic team mate. We don’t see that at all from Darwin.
I think the Darwin chatter is a good measure of what you really want as a fan. Cos he gives everything for the jersey.
16.) 03 Jan 2025 05:38:09
Darwin works/ tries hard, but lacks in front of goal.
Simply not good enough and if he fancies a crack at Serie A with Milan, good luck to him, I will take him to the airport myself.
17.) 03 Jan 2025 10:15:56

@molby. He’s already made it lad he’s part of a front 5 that’s top of everything. And as for missing 20 shots and taking the next one is proof of not being short on confidence. That’s tf.
05 Oct 2024 23:49:01
Ed001, if I may, what do you think the future holds for Harvey Elliott? Do you see him as the 10, at RW if Salah leaves or even eventually leaving if his game time doesn't improve? Many thanks.
{Ed001's Note - 10. I think we are badly missing him there in a few games this season.}
1.) 06 Oct 2024 05:20:38
Is there any update on his injury Ed? Would be great to see him get some decent playing time sooner rather than later given how solid he looked in pre season!
{Ed001's Note - he is due back towards the end of the month - about 3 weeks away.}
2.) 06 Oct 2024 06:33:07
Excellent - looking forward to seeing him back! Are you back in the UAE tris? In transit here today and it feels good to be back!
{Ed001's Note - for a few more days I am. Still trying to find a place to rent for the long term. Are you back for good?}
3.) 06 Oct 2024 09:31:37
Was looking forward to seeing Elliot, then he got injured.
Feel like he is right on the cusp of the next step in his career.
Coming off the bench he can be dangerous for us.
4.) 06 Oct 2024 20:19:09
I love Elliott you can see he absolutely loves the club and puts his heart and soul into every game.
My only issue with him being our number 10 in the current setup is his tackling. He’s improved on the defensive side but I don’t see him charging around and dispossessing people like Szob does.
Elliott has always been great on the ball but in the press he gets bypassed way too easily which worries me. Hopefully Slot will get him working hard in the gym so he can hold his own physically, then he could be a great player for us.
5.) 07 Oct 2024 14:10:20
BP, maybe Slot will have Harvey play the "so called 10 role" in a different way that Szobo is being asked to play it. Harvey is a very intelligent player who recognises space and movement and where to find pockets of space to occupy and create.
he is also very hardworking and maybe not like Szobo is but he can more than do a job in this regard. Let's see what happens when he comes back cos I think like Ed01 said, he would have been useful in a few games this season.
6.) 08 Oct 2024 01:02:37
I think you’re right Oli in that he would’ve been useful in some games this season from the bench but we are a pressing team. Everyone has to be able to press as we set traps, cutting off passing lanes and forcing errors.
If everyone cuts off passing lanes and the player on the ball just bundles passed Elliott we have half the team out of the game. It was an issue when he played in midfield a couple of seasons ago. His inability to win the ball cost us time and again.
Like I said he has improved as he got older and stronger but it remains to be seen if he is strong enough yet to do the job we need him to do off the ball.
I love the kid as a player and as a person he gives us everything but I’m not sure if he will ever be more than an impact sub purely because of his lack of consistent defensive capabilities.
03 Oct 2024 12:44:41
If we don't see 3-4 changes for Saturday, I am going to be very concerned about Slot's rotation policy. There's 2.5 days between the games. If he doesn't freshen the team up and give some others a chance, he will have run the starting XI into the ground by the time the season's over.
1.) 03 Oct 2024 15:43:12
Pick your best team I think. Bologna could have easily won that had we rotated. I think after the break we will start to see more changes though.
2.) 03 Oct 2024 16:38:27
BB, before you complain, please share with us which changes you would like to see, which players should come in and in what positions so we can have a real conversation? Rather than just complain about a problem about whoever's policy that neither you nor I know anything about.
3.) 03 Oct 2024 16:41:06
There was 4 days rest before Bologna. 2.5 days after. A material difference.

@Oli I see no reason why the likes of Gakpo, Jota and Quansah can't start. It wouldn't cause too much of a drop-off. I don't understand your second point. Slot has barely rotated the team with the exception of the Carabao Cup game. The likes of Endo, Bradley and Quansah have barely played this season. Jones has only started the Carabao Cup game. Mac Allister, Diaz, Alisson and Salah all played the Forest game straight after an international break when they were flying in from different continents and time-zones. Slot himself has said he is not used to rotating his squad in previous jobs. I don't understand how you don't understand his rotation policy.

I think he will rotate or adjust when he feels the need is there and for him that’s not 6 or 7 games into a season no matter how close they are. I suspect he also realises the quality he has behind but do I put one or two in every game as a rotation and “consistently” disrupt the team or do I do it at a point I see fit by making multiple changes and embed a group of players into a new “team”? Personally I think he is showing intelligence - not disrupting a successful beginning just yet.

Ed001, if I may, what are your thoughts on Chris Rigg? Is he one of those blue moon-type players we usually struggle to get because they move to a level of club who usually price us out (Bellingham, Haaland, Gvardiol, Wirtz) or is it a lot of hype? If he's the real deal, do you think we should be going all out to get him? Much appreciated.
{Ed001's Note - not seen enough of him to judge. He looks fantastic in clips and highlight reels, but hard to tell if that is his real level or not.}
1.) 29 Sep 2024 07:07:26
Bellingham, Gvardiol, Haaland, Wirtz were all attainable before they became “priced out”.
2.) 29 Sep 2024 10:42:34
I like him. He has a lot of similarities to Roy Keane when he was a teenager at Forest. He’s also left footed - another bonus.
I’d rather sign him than Adam Wharton.
3.) 29 Sep 2024 21:48:25
always going to be hard for a 17-year old to get a chance at a club like us. And that's not being arrogant, but a lot of things have to go his way and our way for him to get that chance.
22 Sep 2024 11:14:15
Ed001 if I may, who would be on your list of candidates to potentially replace Salah next summer?
Also if at some point it becomes obvious that Trent is definitely leaving, would you prioritise playing Bradley over him?
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - I think Chiesa is the replacement if Salah goes. Surely has to be worth trying to get Rodrygo as well.
No, Trent is too good to leave out and I know he would not stop trying for Liverpool no matter what.}
1.) 22 Sep 2024 14:04:34
I would be happy to pay Salah’s wages to get Musiala as replacement. He’s awesome.
2.) 22 Sep 2024 14:06:03
Rodrygo would be a great buy. Trents positioning is a lot better. Slots refined his role better thus far and defensively he even looks more hungry and aggressive. Bradley's the future so wouldn't worry about what could happen with trent mate.
3.) 22 Sep 2024 14:20:17
Ed01 I know this is not related to the OP (sorry) and as I write this he's just given away a clumsy penalty but what is your opinion on Carlos Baleba of Brighton? Looks another great find for them.
{Ed001's Note - I don't believe that should have been a penalty at all. He looks a very good player, lots of work, seems decent on the ball too.}
4.) 22 Sep 2024 15:09:51
Looks like the sort of 6 klopp was looking for. Do you think he's good enough on the ball for what Slot seems to want? Maybe too soon to judge. He's only 20 as well.
{Ed001's Note - no, imo he is not what Slot wants.}
5.) 22 Sep 2024 15:54:39
I think we have what slot wants in gravenberch? Maybe maccas position is the one which gets replaced next?
6.) 22 Sep 2024 16:18:24
Slot wants a complete midfielder, someone who can do everything Macca, Jones, and Gravenberch can but with the defensive physicality as well, someone like a Gerrard, Alonso or Rodri. Not many of them out there that I know of anymore so as he said himself, it's hard to upgrade. Personally I think Maccas place is up for grabs anyway. He's a great player no doubt but his one weakness is his mobility, which the 2 cm's in Slots system do need. Add RM sniffing about and I think he might be off sooner than some think.
7.) 22 Sep 2024 17:36:19
I do think the squad is short a strong all-round midfielder. With Nyoni and Bajcetic to return next year, the future is bright but if we get injuries to our first choice 3 the backup is light.
People will throw pelters but there's probably a deal to be done for Matheus Nunes. He's struggled at Man City but there's a player in there.
It would be great to see Tyler Morton step up, as Quansah did last season. Save us a few bob.
let's see what January brings :)
8.) 22 Sep 2024 17:43:47
I mean if we wanted Trent surely we would have given him a deal by now. Seems insane to run the contract down if you don't have an agreement in place. Surely other top teams would be trying to turn his head at this point.
9.) 22 Sep 2024 22:00:35
So proud of gravenberch, he has taken his chance.
The more he grows into the role, the more I think we can adjust our midfield targets for next window (s)
10.) 23 Sep 2024 08:55:06
@DeanW we don't know that the club hasn't been talking to Trent. Just because a deal isn't signed we shouldn't assume nothing has been discussed.
Usually the club and agent will go back and forward for quite some time to discuss specifics and then once those are discussed the club will offer a new contract.
11.) 23 Sep 2024 13:18:35
Ed01, I hope not. I hope we get another one in to partner Chiesa, one who will be a bit younger even tho, I rate Rodrygo. Still looking at Kudus, personally.
12.) 23 Sep 2024 14:35:15
Do you think Elliott could do a job long-term at RW?
13.) 23 Sep 2024 20:35:46
Babbity not for me mate, elliot more suited to a 10 centrally, great player.
Id be going for kubo myself.

The loss of revenue through covid, two stadium expansions, a new training ground and a high wage bill have all impacted club finances in recent years. Our finances will hopefully be better in 5 years time providing we maintain our current status.
{Ed025's Note - that is not what the Microwave supporters want to hear BR..
14 Jan 2025 18:38:29
Viktor - Bournemouth are currently 7th and a point behind City with a manager Hughes brought in and predominantly with a squad he built so to say he wouldn't get a similar role at another top club is nonsense. I am glad we are being prudent in the transfer market. I remember when we had a revolving door of dross under Evans, Houllier, Benitez, Hodgson, Dalglish and Rodgers. It's much better to wait for the right player than to automatically go for the next best option.
14 Jan 2025 13:53:56
Playing for Piers Morgan and the "mandem" on AFCTV. What more could you want out of a career?
13 Jan 2025 23:13:12
I read that Michael Edwards is handling negotiations. Is this normal or is it an indicator of Richard Hughes being surplus to requirements similar to Dan Ashworth at United? Maybe he is just focused on the buy-side as Michael Edwards isn't doing a lot else at the moment?

I don't think it's necessarily just about flair. The number of world class footballers has decreased significantly in virtually every position since 10-15 years ago. If we were where we are now in 2010, we would be spoiled for choice in the transfer market. Unfortunately we were terrible and skint back then so nobody wanted to come to us.
16 Jan 2025 21:48:06
The guy who never scores?
16 Jan 2025 16:36:25
Haaland if City get relegated due to 115?
15 Jan 2025 18:24:28
Nutter - the issue is we don't have a realistic pathway for him here at Liverpool. We can't afford to be patient with a 19 year old number 9 when the pressure is on to win every single game. Hindsight is great but the reality is just because he develops into a £60 million player elsewhere doesn't mean he will develop into a £60 million player under us.
15 Jan 2025 13:01:59
I don't really see the point in this transfer to be honest. €25 million is a lot of money for a player who is so inexperienced and unproven at the highest level. Strikers in particular are hit-and-miss to develop. Look at how Nunez has translated to the Premier League. Liverpool have had a litany of youth strikers over the last twenty years who were supposedly the next Robbie Fowler/ Michael Owen and got nowhere near. I would rather that we invested our money on players who can make a material difference to the first-team.
