Read a rumour we're interested in Norwegian youngster Jens Hjertø-Dahl. Not sure if any light can be shed, if it hasn't already. Thanks again as always.
{Ed002's Note - No idea, sorry. Can't see how he would get a Worrk Permit.}
1.) 15 Aug 2024 20:51:20
Just a thought, is the reason we r not buying anyone anything to do with FSG looking to expand their portfolio. Just a thought as they where looking at Toulouse and it’s not like us to have not bought anyone yet.
{Ed001's Note - no.}

Gonna be Roald Dahl at this rate.
3.) 16 Aug 2024 02:13:34
Oddly Roald Dani was born in Wales.
4.) 16 Aug 2024 04:22:17
Very much so WDW3, being born in Wales is odd.
5.) 16 Aug 2024 05:58:43
BFG out!
6.) 15 Aug 2024 21:40:22
Thanks for the quick reply Ed ?.
7.) 15 Aug 2024 23:00:10
Ed if you don't mind me asking, how do you see our future under FSG and do you think they will succeed with the multi club ownership? Or do you think they will consider selling us sooner rather than later?
{Ed002's Note - There are no plans to sell Liverpool at present. They are considering multi-club ownership but their options in France have dried up. They would consider an MLS team but right now are focussing on two other opportunities.}
8.) 16 Aug 2024 08:26:04
Come on Stone Age, what’s the Big Friendly Giant ever done to you, he’d win every header in both boxes if we kept him.
14 Jun 2024 09:36:51
Hey All, another recycled rumour perhaps but Levi Colwill is doing the rounds again. Liverpool interested but dependent on Colwill having talks with Chelsea's new boss Maresca. I'm not saying it's true just passing on what I read. Any new updates at all? Have a good day folks.
1.) 14 Jun 2024 14:05:27
You said it your self. it's recycled rumours. The kid signed a 6 year deal last season. Nothing to see here, IMO.
2.) 14 Jun 2024 16:46:24
Oli the fact it’s recycled means it’s resurfaced. Simply a question. An addendum to this is that it come from Graham Bailey who I’ve found to be quite reliable.
3.) 14 Jun 2024 19:51:41
Oli, I think Ed002 has mentioned elsewhere that there is interest in LC but just not from LFC. Half the Chelsea squad signed long term deals, doesn't necessarily mean they're off limits.
4.) 14 Jun 2024 20:25:40
We need someone to push Konate further down the pecking order that’s for sure Bambi on ice springs to mind.
5.) 15 Jun 2024 10:15:22
Frode, the rumour resurfacing (from last season, btw) means nothing starting with the point that Colwill signed a 6 year deal last summer. Did this reliable Graham fellow tell you that? I have NO idea we would be interested in such a player under those conditions BUT maybe you know some things I don't.
{Ed002's Note - Levi Colwill (CB) Chelsea will not look to sell unless the player asks for a move, but they have been asked to meet with PSG to discuss options for Colwill. The player has made it clear that he does not want to play at LB. Chelsea has an interest in a PSG player so something may just be possible. Bayern Munivh want two players from Chelsea and have spoken with the club.}

Hey All, read online that Celtic are pursuing Caoimhin Kelleher and he's tempted by Champions League football. They'd want him for 15m but even that might be a stretch as Liverpool would want 20m plus. Apologies if this has been posted prior. Source [Graham Bailey].
1.) 10 Jun 2024 23:07:29
£20-25m would be fair I think. He’s arguably worth more than that but realistically teams will know he wants to leave, and with less than 50 games under his belt in senior football at 25 years old there is a strong case that £20m is actually still a gamble. It’s a different kettle of fish being the first choice and having the back ups breathing down your neck. As a back up you are far less under scrutiny because it’s accepted that you are prepared to sit on the bench for 90% of the season and might therefore be rusty or at least, not as consistent as the number 1. If he transitions to a number 1 there is no telling how he may react mentally to the added pressure. On pure ability, he looks good enough to start for pretty much any Prem team from Chelsea (6th) down. Doesn’t always work like that though.
2.) 11 Jun 2024 00:06:35
Celtic would be a good move for him, but I can't see them spending £10+m on a goalkeeper (or any player, to be honest), so I don't see how it would be possible.
Maybe straight swap for O'Riley?
3.) 11 Jun 2024 00:22:56
Joe Hart is currently Celtics number 1 - I think the Irish connection is a bit of 2 + 2 = 5.
Caoimhin Kelleher could do a lot better than Celtic unless the Irish thing is a thing.
4.) 11 Jun 2024 05:02:57
Surely kelleher can’t leave for less than Trafford? He’s ten times a better goalie and actually has lots of PL starting experience, has won two league cup finals, has played in Europe, etcetera, we’re not talking about a talented reserve keeper who has the tools to make the step up, we’re talking about an actual premier league caliber goalie who can’t take the starting spot from Alisson, if he leaves for the same or less than Trafford (who wanted to leave as much as kelleher does) it would be an absolute travesty.
{Ed001's Note - Trafford couldn't even hold down a place at Burnley because he is dog muck, with the kicking prowess of someone playing football for the first time. So far up his own backside as well. I can't believe any team would be interested in signing him, let alone to spend money on such dross.}
5.) 11 Jun 2024 05:18:36
As an aside Ed, Kompany had free rein to make a lot of dodgy signings with the owner giving him the liberty to build his team in the long run, the fact that he left Burnley saddled with all of them after jumping ship to Bayern, when they might not fit the new manager’s vision in the least, does not reflect very well on him.
{Ed001's Note - and the fact that almost all of them flopped makes it bizarre that Bayern would even want him.}
6.) 11 Jun 2024 06:32:02
I think he would be a mug to go to the SpL, he’s better than that.
7.) 11 Jun 2024 06:39:47
King Carlos
Joe Hart has retired I think ?.
8.) 11 Jun 2024 07:30:09
Am amazed that Newcastle haven’t considered him. I mean Kelleher is 100 times better than Trafford!
9.) 11 Jun 2024 07:50:41
Surely a deal with a buy back option would make sense.
10.) 11 Jun 2024 09:16:44
Buy back or sell on percentage. other top teams do it all the time, I see no reason why we can't. Personally, I'd loan him for 2 years to a top tier team like what happened with Courtois, though I guess it's based on demand and players wishes etc. definitely a good player there.
11.) 11 Jun 2024 10:18:21
Celtic'd be a great move for any Irishman, just can't see how they can afford him.
12.) 11 Jun 2024 16:11:38
In Celtics 137 year history they're record spend is 16 million Euros.
Kelleher would likely cost double that.
Celtic win the league every season more or less easily enough already. Spending 30 odd mill on a keeper is hardly going to improve that.
13.) 11 Jun 2024 23:55:53
I agreed with stuie_boy - think he has come out saying he would love to be number 1 at LFC, if we organise a loan move to a relatively top team in two years time if he has been successful, it would be a good Alison replacement with him at his peak GK age. But finding a top club who would take a GK to start know their intention is going back after a couple of years would be difficult.
09 Jun 2024 10:57:55
Interesting from Graham Bailey a fairly reliable journalist from my experience, who like the Ed's said we're not in for Ederson. His follow up point however about it being related to Bajetic being used as the key figure in that position. Could be interesting given that we're putting a lot of faith in a player who was decent for half the season.
1.) 09 Jun 2024 11:58:24
Don’t believe any of the local journos who are fed coordinated briefs throughout the window. You recognise who is in charge again.
2.) 09 Jun 2024 12:21:35
I’d love for us to be in the conversation for ederson, he looks a top midfielder who can do everything in the center of the park, great athlete and covers the length of the pitch, not completely sure we need another midfielder but if he’s available he’s really fit us imo (though I’m also fine sticking with Endo)
3.) 09 Jun 2024 13:37:48
Cant fault Endo's effort Patrik but he's probably the person in the first 11 who can be improved upon the easiest.
4.) 09 Jun 2024 19:44:09
Is Baj ready for weekly mens football at this level or should he be eased in to navigate growing pains etc?
We are stacked in MF, yet many are saying we need a 'proper DM'.
I don't know enough about Slot or the intricacies of the game to really know, but If I were choosing, Grav would be sacrificed for a sitter.
5.) 10 Jun 2024 01:22:44
@Vango, as with Bradley and Quansah, Baj isn’t going to play 60 games next season. If Slot thinks the DM position is covered with Endo and Baj, with back-up from Macca then we may try and work with what we have. Personally I’d like another DM who is an automatic starter with top level experience, but given I’ve wanted an Aston Martin every year for Christmas for years and years I understand that I don’t always get what I want.
6.) 10 Jun 2024 01:52:56
I think we should target a genuine solid DM. Endo is great but will need replacing soon, so to cover and work alongside for a season or two would be ideal. Having Baj learn and grow with a decent DM we should have two starters for each position like City and use the cover in cup games. Same with LB. Robbo will unfortunately need replacement and all good to mention chambers but another quality player is needed for same reasons. To cover and replace and have the younger learn from.
7.) 10 Jun 2024 02:19:30
I would think that either Jones or Grav are at risk of being sacrificed if a new midfield player is being brought in. I would like to see how Baj gets on though. Rotating game time between him and Endo seems ideal to me. Endo hasn't done too badly and although he isn't on the same level as prime Fabinho, he still makes us much more solid in the centre of the field.
8.) 10 Jun 2024 10:01:09
We need to add quality in certain posistions, and CDM is the main one for me.
9.) 10 Jun 2024 14:26:40
Didn't we read that Slot likes to play with 2 pivots ie. 2 DMs? So unless TAA is already penciled in as the second pivot, we will still need a DM despite having Endo and Bajcetic around.

So I can no longer offer objective criticism on a player? I don’t think Nunez is good enough and think he should be moved on. If he stays I’ll support him but it won’t stop me thinking he isn’t good enough.
09 Jul 2025 20:29:04
Good old fashioned rumour this and seems completely believable. Cheers again.
06 Jul 2025 19:36:51
Kane is a goal machine, I’ve said it all summer. Get him signed on a two year deal with an optional third. This guy will want to break the PL record. Can’t see it happening but a no brainer for me.
03 Jul 2025 06:43:46
Player turns down a big deal from Saudi and now refuses to lower his wage demands for other clubs. Yeah, doesn’t make sense.
02 Jul 2025 22:21:59
Is this confirmed or Twitter rubbish again?

Akira’s cryptic posts are just rage bait, he’s clueless unfortunately.
14 Jul 2025 18:11:10
So is he lying hence the nickname you gave him?
13 Jul 2025 16:14:25
Carra played over 700 games for Liverpool, openly admits there were better players, but he constantly played well, put in some shifts and was instrumental in a number of trophy wins. Just be open and honest and say you don’t like him as a person.
13 Jul 2025 16:12:01
Bobby was finished when he left, I love the man but come on.
12 Jul 2025 07:05:23
The Forest owner wears his heart on his sleeve which can be a nuisance to management. But he wants to win and he’s got the money to invest, to which he’s done a fine job up to now of investing.
