Sorry, have been asleep for a few weeks but last time I checked the site it was all "season's gone" and "no chance of top four", as well as those preferring to finish 8th rather than the europa spot.
Have I missed something?
1.) 18 May 2021 06:27:34
Nobody anticipated Leicester and Chelsea to keep shooting themselves in the foot :P
But credit where it's due. 17 points from the last 7 games deserves praise.
2.) 18 May 2021 07:34:25
I'll be honest Burkeyboy I'd given up on Top 4 around February/ March. Will be delighted to be proven wrong.
3.) 18 May 2021 08:42:59
Arsenal beat someone.
4.) 18 May 2021 09:52:37
There's a bit of 20/ 20 hindsight going on here though isn't there. The team had been playing poorly since Xmas - for pretty obvious reasons - and were giving no reason whatsoever for any optimism.
5.) 18 May 2021 10:30:10
Don’t count your chickens till they hatch mate we all want top for but let’s wait n see 🤞ðŸ¼.
6.) 18 May 2021 10:30:19
Who would face predicted Arsenal beating Chelsea and us beating United away 4-2? In all honesty? And if those results went the other way we’d be in the Thursday Cup. Based on this season those results were highly unpredictable. Tonight gives us another chance, but we still need to win both of our remaining games and win them comfortably. Let’s hope Burnley and Palace have their flip flops on….
7.) 19 May 2021 08:11:18
Vic, just wins will more than likely do the job. We don’t necessarily need to win comfortably.
Not easy as Burnley and Palace are exactly the type of teams we’ve struggled against but wins by 1 goal should be enough as Leicester will need to beat Spurs by 3 and anyone who saw them last night would not be confident of that happening at all.
06 Oct 2020 07:38:06
I know not Liverpool related, and I know the figures can be exaggerated, but I read that though Cavani signed on a free, the agent's fees are expected to come in lower than 10m euros. Can that be right, 10m in fees? What do they do for that money?
{Ed025's Note - the same as what mino raiola done for the pogba to united deal burkey...he raked in £42m for that one, so very little, these leeches are bleeding the game dry mate..
1.) 06 Oct 2020 09:16:49
That’s disgusting they need to be removed leeches is being polite.
2.) 06 Oct 2020 10:07:19
I really don't understand why they get so much money? what am I missing here? I don't get it at all. There should be some sort of cap on it.
{Ed002's Note - There are already rules concerning agents and there are plans to change them that will possibly come in to force next summer.}
3.) 06 Oct 2020 10:13:59
Well that's refreshing news Ed! a long time coming.
4.) 06 Oct 2020 10:57:11
I feel like I can add something here as I did meet mino once and had a chat with him. I think I've posted the conversation before but I'll give the broad strokes here.
From the perspective of an agent, they feel they are worth their money because their job is to get the best possible financial deal for their client. They believe they're the only ones solely focused on their clients finances (clubs largely want to use the players talent and would not be focused on finance at all )
He (mino) said "footballers career is short. They spend much while they play. Its my job to make sure when the career is finished they still have money to spend and don't need to work in supermarket. Why should I negotiate millions for my clients and peanuts for myself? "
He also alluded a few times to the fact many executives in football get paid huge sums.
I'm not saying that his view is 100% correct, because it's not. But it's also not wrong either. Before agents had the power they do now footballers were paid significantly less and many footballers even at pro level had no money beyond their career.
5.) 06 Oct 2020 11:10:16
I know! Perish the thought of a footballer having to work like the rest of us until their 60s!
Even Ed002 still works although I'm guessing that's just to keep him in the finest gin and cocktails 😉.
6.) 06 Oct 2020 12:04:12
Agents may try and get as much money for their clients as possible but they quite often ruin careers and advise players to go where the money is rather than what will be good for their development.
Would be good if agents gave players useful advise on what to do with their millions such as good Long term investments rather than watching them continuously burn through it and keeping them topped up, that’s not good for when the players career does end and they are still burning through it.
{Ed002's Note - The players get advised over money matters but there has been a recent trend with some younger players running wild. Clubs rather than agents take this responsibility.}
7.) 06 Oct 2020 12:55:29
Thanks Ed002. I do worry to hear of some young players running wild as you say, makes me worry what kind of mess their lives will be like when they Eventually get thrown into the real world. Hopefully clubs will start to get a grip on it and keep these youngsters grounded.
{Ed002's Note - They will fall back on the typical post-football trades of publican or insurance salesman.}
8.) 06 Oct 2020 13:43:20
IMO athletes get the raw end of the stick, no one ever says anything about Oprah raking in 100 millions for having a talk show or even Kelly Ripa who earns a million dollars for talking about what she had for dinner the previous night (Mainly U. S references as I am state side) . In regards to an agent, I have had the pleasure of knowing some when they were starting out it is rough. I had a buddy who was going to the colleges in the U. S and begging players to sign with him prior to going professional. Then investing their own money into the player such as creating a profile along with marketing material and preparation for the upcoming draft. They would get the player drafted and prior to negotiating a contract, he would get a termination letter from the client, where they would get minimal reimbursement for services rendered.
The average footballers career is 8 years, god forbid they get an injury or have any long term nagging injuries that will impact them for the rest of their lives. Just my opinion.
9.) 06 Oct 2020 20:20:26
Plus, you have to remember there are thousands of agents worldwide and it would be interesting to see what percentage make more than the average salary in their own countries. We only hear of the small minority no doubt who are making millions.
10.) 06 Oct 2020 20:27:59
Harry your not wrong, also when you compare to other entertainment industries the salaries aren't so disproportionate to the salaries earned. However, usually agents fees are capped, likewise commissions. The issue I see is in extortionate fees and whilst not privvy to the detailed info the sancho deal and pogba transfers seem v v high.
The issue of earnings I can give a small insight into. Footballers are second to only stockbrokers as the biggest idiots with their money! I wish I had more as clients. so many wouldn't need TV work to supplement earnings and then maybe michah r and jenas wouldn't have to work anymore :)
11.) 06 Oct 2020 22:46:24
It's amazing to see United's history if doing deals with raola and his clients costing the club so much money while the record of transfers being a successful investment is rather poor. Pogba, di Maria, falcao, myhkitarian, lukaku, ibrahimovich were all his clients if I'm not mistaken and he negotiated huge deals which couldn't have been kind to United's finances. Is there a reason he has extra joy working with United for example? Would personal friendships etc play a part to help him?
And then for example there's hardly any previous signings we attempt to pursue for players signed under his agency. Do clubs purposely ignore certain players due to simply not liking dealing with their representatives?
21 Feb 2018 07:15:43
Been busy for a few days so haven't checked site much. Did a quick search for Wanyama after seeing some links, but can't find anything from Ed001 and 002 specifically ruling out any interest. Please tell me the links are crap.
{Ed001's Note - I do not know of any interest in him from us at all. No idea where the links come from, but it sounds like manufactured crap because he once played for Southampton.}
1.) 21 Feb 2018 07:28:44
I would be extremely happy if we could bring him in. He will do a great job covering the back 4.None of the players we have right now is a defencive midfielder and from what i 've heard and read mostly neither is Keita (I 've seen very little of him to form an oppinion) . In any case it is a position that needs strengthening in the summer.
{Ed001's Note - but he is awful at the role, he is constantly caught out of position and it terrible on the ball. He is just a big, powerful lump with none of the mental attributes required to be a top level player. You need more than pace and power to be good at the role of defensive midfielder, positioning is the most important part of the job and he has not got a clue about it.}
2.) 21 Feb 2018 07:54:47
Who would be your preference Ed001 for defencive midfielder? I remember the Southampton Wanyama who was really dominant. Has he declined that much?
{Ed001's Note - he was crap there too, I don't know what you are remembering at all. He uses pace and power to make up for his own mistakes but it does not always work. He is just an average player who has risen too high for his limited talents. Southampton and Spurs have an extra body alongside him to provide cover for those lapses in concentration he has numerous times a game, so they can get away with him being asleep, we don't.
I do wonder why I bother answering questions like this as I have said already on a number of threads who my preferences are. Is there much point me constantly repeating them only to get asked the same question the following day?}
3.) 21 Feb 2018 08:32:19
Ndidi!
stevie started the rumours about wanyama. and actually it's quite funny when you think about it. A+ for idnteifying we need to solidfy the midfield and then he gets an F for saying we need to bring in a big powerful midfielder like wanyama to do that.
4.) 21 Feb 2018 10:30:24
Very worrying for Gerrard's credentials as a future first team manager 🤔
Ed001 didn't actually say Ndidi by the way. For years he wanted Gary Medel and more recently he has suggested Nampalys Mendy as his preferred choice. He's playing well in Nice to be fair.
Ndidi is a player he's said he likes though, along with Obiang and Doucoure. It wasn't his suggestion though.
I still think Demirbay might be the "powerhouse" midfield signing though. He seems to be regarded as an attacking player by most on here, but he is actually very similar to Doucoure. He is fast and powerful which does allow him to break forward from deep to score and create goals, but he actually averages 2 tackles a game for Hoffenheim which is comparable to an out and out holding midfielder. He's over 6 foot, very aggressive, and can play the holding role, box to box, or the No.10.
He's very versatile, and brings much needed steel to the midfield. Most importantly, he is a player we are actually interested in though. Don't forget Keita too who is also very aggressive and contributes a lot defensively. Not many teams would want to face a trio of Keita, Henderson and Demirbay! That is a lot of pace and power, combined with high quality on the ball. Wanyama unfortunately lacks the quality side of things!
5.) 21 Feb 2018 11:20:34
For all wanyamas bad points.
Having someone 6ft, strong, uninterested in wandering up field and will just plonk his was between the two cbs for me is just what we need. It will allow keita, Hendo and the 3 amigos to run riot whilst having someone help us keep our defensive shape.
Also if he is relatively cheap it could be a wise move for a few seasons, maybe focus the rest of our budget on cb and qingback needs.
6.) 21 Feb 2018 12:17:36
his bad points are the very reason to steer clear, as van morrrison would say keep mediocrity at bay.
7.) 21 Feb 2018 13:07:49
Unbelievable people thinking plonking Wanyama in front of defence will improve the midfield. This is not under 10’s football.
8.) 21 Feb 2018 13:31:12
Not good but still managed that screamer against us lol. I don't think he's that bad but he is not good enough for us, especially in a defensive position.
9.) 21 Feb 2018 13:32:53
I've watched Wanyama start twice recently, against Newport County and Rochdale and he was woeful in both games against quite terrible opposition.
There is a reason why Dembele (an excellent player) and Dier (a distinctly average player) are ahead of him in the Spurs team. He is poor. He runs around a lot and is quite strong, and every now and then he hits s thunderbolt of a shot which everyone go "ooooo".
I hope we steer well clear. (if we are even interested at all. which I doubt)
15 May 2016 09:01:45
Hey Ed001. Any chance Ings could be on the bench? I know he's only just returned to training, just wondering.
Also, so happy for Suarez. I know he couldn't wait to move on, but he gave his all when wearing the shirt.
{Ed001's Note - they were hoping he would be fit to take at least some part in the game. I don't know, nor will I ask as the club a long time ago asked me not to give out team details prior to matches, whether that is still happening. I want the club to succeed first and foremost, so, as they said it was giving an advantage to the opposition, I am happy to steer clear of team sheets etc. Sorry, I know it is not ideal for the sites, but the club is more important to me.}
1.) 15 May 2016 10:12:13
Well done 001.
{Ed001's Note - it has to be done. The club are my first love after all!}
2.) 15 May 2016 10:21:50
Are team sheets/ news banned now? I hope so for the same reasons Ed01. The people it benefits most are the opposition.
{Ed001's Note - no mate, I just have no involvement in them.}
3.) 15 May 2016 10:32:10
I hope your wife to be isn't reading, ed. Lol.
{Ed001's Note - she knows mate.}
4.) 15 May 2016 12:17:01
I'd say Ed most of us here aren't to bothered about team sheets. It's who's coming and going that we are more interested in.
{Ed001's Note - it does make a huge difference to traffic if you can post them up, so it only applies for those here now, rather than those we could attract.}
5.) 15 May 2016 13:13:00
Thanks for doing that ed, that's completely the right thing to do! Come on reds let's get top 5 and build for next year.
15 Jan 2015 00:02:54
A week ago someone mentioned aussie keeper Matt Ryan. I see a couple of papers are suggesting we're interested. Heard anything Eds?
From the little I've seen he looks a decent keeper with good distribution and is quite vocal. Pulled off a blinding save last week in their first group game of the Asian cup, ball looked destined for the top corner.
{Ed001's Note - from what I have been told there has been an enquiry from us, that has been leaked to try and bring others who are interested out of the woodwork.}
1.) 15 Jan 2015 07:48:00
Ed001 - a leak from Ryan's management or from Bruges?
{Ed001's Note - Bruges, they are looking for more money.}
2.) 15 Jan 2015 08:23:01
Seen him in a few games now. Not sure if he is the real thing YET, as he seems to loose his head (Like Grobelaar), but the kids got a big talent for sure
3.) Thanks Ed001. Presumed that would be the case, but just wanted to check.
4.) 15 Jan 2015 09:22:31
This bloke is 5ft11 just as well puttin Warwick Davis between the sticks
5.) 15 Jan 2015 17:21:20
Completely agree, far too short for the premier league. We are the worst in Europe when it comes to scouting and transfersz

It's late January Ed001 (I'm sure you're aware) . Clearly none of the "3" are leaving this window, probably nobody in the squad to be fair. But, I'm assuming they are still free to negotiate with clubs to sign for next season even after January?
For what it's worth, I'm fine with no January signings, they rarely turn out to be value for money or effective in a title chase.
I would much prefer to see academy players and fringe squad members given a chance if we suffer from injuries. That said, VVD getting injured gives me nightmares, our linchpin IMO.
Regarding the rest of the season. The PL title is still the holy grail for me. Champions league is awesome, and our pedigree is by far the best of the English clubs, but the Title is still the aim. Chelsea were undeserved winners of the CL just a few years ago, few winners of the Premier league don't deserve it (yes, I know there are 115 charges outstanding) .
{Ed001's Note - yes, they can negotiate with clubs outside of the English FA.}
1.) 28 Jan 2025 07:40:54
Sorry Tris, I know you've been asked a lot, but 002 is sadly no longer with us, your gut instinct, late Jan, 1, 2, 3 sign, or none?
Your quick reply given the time of day/ morning makes me think you're still in the middle east rather than old Blighty?
{Ed001's Note - I still think all 3 stay, though it is looking less and less likely as time goes on.
Yes mate, still out here. My parents are staying at the moment. Took them to see Atlantis yesterday, which was nice as it was the first time they had seen it since it slipped below the waves 3000 years ago.}
2.) 28 Jan 2025 07:51:43
My afternoon wines here in Aus must be taking effect, as I don't know if you're taking the p*ss or relaying an actual parental story :)
{Ed001's Note - genuine story. I think. We did go to Atlantis, it is a big hotel with a waterpark and aquarium.}
3.) 28 Jan 2025 09:29:55
You mean your parents are Atlantians? That's epic! No Wonder your football knowledge is 'Godlike' ??.
{Ed001's Note - could well be, they are certainly old enough.}
4.) 28 Jan 2025 12:05:40
Surely your parents aren't as old as Ed025.
{Ed001's Note - they are of a similar age and went to school at a similar time, half-eight, quarter-to-nine.}
03 Jan 2025 05:03:54
Anyone know how Bajcetic is going on loan?
Were not exactly heavy in the DM position.
1.) 03 Jan 2025 06:39:13
I can't comment on his performances since I've not watched him play but he seems to be playing regularly for Salzburg which, after his long time out injured, is a positive for me. He was fined once for being late to training though so that is a bit concerning.
2.) 03 Jan 2025 18:38:43
I was under the impression that both he and Clarke have been major disappointments; part of the reason for Pep’s departure.
Take my eye for a young player with a bucketload of salt (I thought Carragher would become a top defensive midfielder), but of all our academy lot, McConnell is the one who really stood out.

Man of the match for me was Slot.
Didn't panic and bring on Kostas.
You could see the staff going through a dozen different scenarios and made adjustments, then adjusted again and again.
They were then able to translate their ideas to the players who responded excellently.

Kostas wasn't on the bench today, Burkey.

Kostas not being in the match day squad probably helped Slot to make the decision nit to bring him on ?.
3.) 14 Dec 2024 23:11:58
Burkey, Kostas wasn't on the bench.
4.) 15 Dec 2024 00:35:55
Anyone else want to tell me he wasn't on the bench? ?
My bad.
He could have brought qansah on and shifted Gomez I guess.
5.) 15 Dec 2024 08:32:36
He wasn't on the bench Burkey?.
6.) 15 Dec 2024 09:46:56
I was going to say the same thing but it would become a pile-on so I desisted. It was very hard to resist the temptation, I must say, lol.
7.) 15 Dec 2024 10:03:25
He wasn't on the bench Burkeyboy ?.

Sorry burkey, no replies had been put on when I replied ?.

My God. Been travelling and haven't checked the site for a week.
Such sad news. I've gone back as far as I can, but can't find the original news of 002's passing. Can anyone assist as I'd like to read from the start so to speak.
Rough guess, I've been on the site for about 18 years. I think this because I used to read out Ed002's detailed transfer info to my son who was about 8 at the time.

Ignore. The link to the tribute page wasn't working for me. It is now.

Hi. I can imagine you must be really shocked. We all were.
The original message was written at the top of every page. I believe it was written on the 15th. He suffered a sudden heart attack. It still hasn't sunk in for me.

Port red, somewhat agree. Bradley can't pass the ball like Trent, but I think he is a much better defender and can beat a player.

Virgil is the most important.
Can you imagine if he had off days like Salah often does? (Yes his stats are crazy and possibly irreplaceable) . If Virgil had those off days we'd lose more than we won.
Trent I'm actually not fussed about. Great if he stays, but if he goes then I wish him all the best.

True Colin, but the op wasn't a rumour, it was a statement.
03 Jan 2025 04:54:59
If you had to pick just one, who would you keep?
For me, VVD. Salah would be a huge loss for sure, but virg is the best CB in the world and captain.

Do we know how far away Bajcetic is from a return?

I saw the team selection and thought "ok, Slot is happy to risk losing. " I'm ok with that. This young team could have produced the goods but didn't. We don't have the possibility of a few more games to fit in with a busy Euro schedule and PL run in, along with another cup final.
I'm cool with that, the PL is the focus, Europe second. Get over it.

I do get your point Red W, but you said it yourself "what if we don't win the league? ". My point, what if we go deep into the FA cup and Europe, get burnt out, pick up a key injury or two, and lose the League?
I was at wembley for the famous "merseyside Fa cup". I just don't think it holds the same romance anymore, particularly with so much focus on Europe.
09 Feb 2025 21:39:50
Not a weird take Red W, I felt exactly the same way. I can't even remember who won the cup last few years. I would have preferred to sacrifice the League cup over the FA cup though, upon seeing the line up it was clear Slot was prepared to risk it, didn't even have firepower on the bench which is the usual case.
We have a lot of games coming up and the League is still the priority with Europe second.

I was born within the sounds of a cheering Goodison. My dad was a red, mum didn't care, sister worked for Bill Kenwright, brother was on the books of Liverpool early days, my cousin is Mike Marsh. I was wowed by Shankly and loved the team of the late 70s early 80s, so it was a no brainer for me.
Moved to Australia in 91 when we were champions. Didn't win the league again for 30 years. Unbelievable.

Gary Neville running the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the away fans was equally galling and brilliant.
