Is Julian Brandt still an option in the summer. Would be a really good addition.
{Ed002's Note - If he were available Liverpool might be interested if the price is good, but it difficult to see where he would fit in. There is a little interest from elsewhere which has been shunned because of playing time.}
1.) 10 Mar 2019 20:05:45
It think he would be a brilliant addition for a rotation with the front three and in midfield. He has tremendous potential to be world class in my opinion. I'd love to have him with liverpool.
2.) 10 Mar 2019 21:48:39
I agree he would be great across the front and I think he would be used a lot more and the other threee rested more. Type of player we need to come in for me.
An upgrade on Sturridge and Origi. Brandt and Brewster would be more than able replacements.
Plus we have Grujic to return next season and still Chamberlain to come back.
3.) 10 Mar 2019 23:48:45
I like him in the midfield, really plays to his strengths on the ball though he'd be fantastic cover for the wings as well. Great player with a buyout clause that makes him incredibly appealing.
Issue is the player is prioritising game time (can't blame him) and while he'd definitely get a fair bit of playing time at Liverpool, I don't think it would be anything close to what he's after (first team week in, week out) .
4.) 11 Mar 2019 03:14:45
Brilliant signing if we can make it happen. Quality cover for Mane (who operates more as a playmaker than winger anyways which would suit Brandt to a tee) and he will get plenty of game time in midfield as well. We need quality players like Bradt to allow for rotation, changing tactics between games and push the current players to perform even better.
5.) 11 Mar 2019 10:24:40
I agree IB he would be a top addition and would get plenty game time. The front 3 need competition and he would provide that and all 4 could play in some games as well. I would consider sell Shaq as well, Brandt would be an upgrade IMO.
6.) 11 Mar 2019 11:26:23
Agree about Shaq mark. He is already struggling to get on the pitch ahead of Lallana and Origi. If we get someone like Brandt and Wilson impresses in pre season along with OX returning, it spells bad news for Shaq. The midfield will be completely stacked, Shaq is not good enough to displace any of our front 3 players and let's not forget he was signed only after the Fekir deal fell through.
Shaq's already had issues at previous clubs and left due to insufficient game time. If we can double what we paid for him last summer and Klopp is willing to let him go to fund the transfer of a player like Brandt (who imo is an upgrade with a much higher ceiling), then moving him on makes sense.
7.) 11 Mar 2019 21:50:52
Ageed mark.
Did I just say that? :) .
8.) 16 Mar 2019 05:44:15
I can see Brandt going to Bayern over Liverpool, I don’t think he’d make the move to be a back up. which he would obviously be for you. As for selling Shaqiri: you’d be mad! He was the perfect squad signing and can keep that going, he knows his place in your squad and is proven in making the difference when called upon. One of the best signings of anyone last year IMO.

Hi eds. Any interest in yerry mina from Barcelona? Seen a loan move being mooted?
I think it's just paper nonsense as it says they see him as a future star and want him to get some experience so why send him to a different league for that?
{Ed001's Note - not heard of any interest in taking a loanee from Barca.}
1.) 11 May 2018 18:53:09
Random name of the day.
2.) 11 May 2018 21:04:41
Cheers ed001 appreciate the reply mate.
{Ed001's Note - welcome.}
3.) 12 May 2018 09:07:03
Spanish media are quoting the player saying "I'm going to Liverpool" 😂 the summer window is absolutely ridiculous sometimes!
4.) 12 May 2018 10:13:00
Could be coming for a day trip mk and go to the Beatles museum.
5.) 12 May 2018 11:13:28
I heard him and Phil were going to get some pedilo’s out in Southport and have a couple of games of crazy golf, then they were going to the bier Keller to watch the champs league final and do shots every time there’s a corner.
6.) 13 May 2018 12:02:45
Seems like Barcelona bought him for 10 mill and because he can't get in their team they want to sell him to us for 88 mill.
Think they're still upset at how much they had to pay to get Couts.
25 Mar 2018 08:26:25
Hi eds. See Anderson talisca being mentioned now. Is it true he is being looked at and what type of player is he. Have to admit have only seen him in champions league a couple of times.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any Liverpool interest in Talisca. The sustained interest is from Wolves but Benfica will not talk to them unless Besiktas refuse to take up their option on the player. My expectation is that Besiktas will take up their option, and if a very, very large offer arrived then they might consider selling him on immediately.}
1.) 25 Mar 2018 13:57:29
I saw rumours that United and Monaco were in for him (40mil apperently) .
31 Oct 2017 17:26:17
Latest keeper to be linked is keylor navas off real madrid. I have only seen him in a couple of champions league games and being honest wasn't paying him too much attention. Would he be a good addition if we are interested of course?
1.) 31 Oct 2017 18:40:52
Wud b completely the wrong keeper worse than bravo he not even 6ft we need a aggressive dominating presence who likes to give rollockings when needs be.
2.) 31 Oct 2017 19:09:25
Not to be petty hailstones but apparently Navas is 6’1†so you clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
3.) 31 Oct 2017 19:19:14
Haha ok I am wrong apologies but him coming from Spanish league to premiership and too us who teams target for set peices would cause him an us big probs.
4.) 31 Oct 2017 19:25:49
Like De gea 🤷ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸.
5.) 31 Oct 2017 20:00:08
How long did it take for him to settle also he has better attributes taller better all round he is world class.
6.) 31 Oct 2017 20:16:23
Doesnt matter how tall the keeper is to be honest as long as they are agile.
7.) 31 Oct 2017 20:22:12
I guess that rules out Jan Oblak too then as he also plays in the Spanish league.
8.) 31 Oct 2017 21:45:54
Yeah, our last keeper from Spain who wasn’t tall was awful. Bloody Pepe Reina.
9.) 31 Oct 2017 22:41:54
I hate spanish keepers id much rather have rob green in goal for a world cup.
10.) 31 Oct 2017 23:38:02
Doesn't matter were they from as long as they have rite attributes aggressive commanding reading danger communicating with defence, decent kicking these are all things needed for a top keeper, navas is a good shot stopper and decent kicker.
11.) 01 Nov 2017 06:26:52
Or maybe Danny Ward could be given a chance before everyone starts playing football manager signings again.
12.) 01 Nov 2017 07:34:09
DetailsLocked - Exactly mate.
13.) 01 Nov 2017 08:45:14
AMEN too details locked i hope with regards too ward he gets sum sort of run in team so we can judge an see if he in fact could be everything we need there are a lot of British keepers at minute who are doing great e. g Rob Elliot, Tom heaton, jack butland, Jordan Pickford, Fraser Forster, so why not ward!
14.) 01 Nov 2017 15:09:48
Navas is a poor keeper at best, he’s only just over 6ft (1.85m is not 6’1â€) and for me, he is too short to be successful in the premier league, given that we struggle on crosses and high balls into the box, the last thing you do is buy a keeper that is easily dominated in those situations and Navas is weak in that area, look at how Bravo has struggled and how poor Pickford is on crosses, we don’t need another keeper who can’t deal with that. If we are bringing a keeper in, bring a top class one like Oblak or don’t bother. We’ve done enough bargain basement shopping in that area for a lifetime.
15.) 01 Nov 2017 22:22:57
Defo agree see him tonight he would give us all a heart attack.
16.) 02 Nov 2017 06:34:51
JC23 that is true to some extent but not totally. Watch someone like James Shea. Very agile keeper but probably about 5'11 tops and he struggles with crosses because of lack of reach and size. League 1 and 2 players are generally smaller these days than the big prem players so he would struggle at prem level. If he was 6'3 or more I reckon Arsenal would have kept hold of him. height does unfortunately make a difference. A tallish keeper 6'2 who is agile can compete but below that they are struggling in a league where the first thing the clubs look for is size and they like to bang in crosses all the time. Plus for Liverpool size in GK is now a must since teams are targetting crosses into the box as a weakness.
17.) 03 Nov 2017 00:20:58
I agree with that DetailsLocked. Any keeper under 6’1†is going to struggle unless they have the physique and ability to make up for it. Someone mentioned Pepe Reina, he’s 6’2†which is the minimum for me. Since he was tall enough to compete, also helped that he was quite a physically strong player to go with it and made good decisions almost ever time.
18.) 03 Nov 2017 08:22:47
Migs 6'4"
Karius 6'2"
Ward 6'4"
Wards height Changes depending on site.

Is thomas lemar still seen as an option or was he ever truly an option? Reason I'm asking is if we are going for the likes of a lemar it would surely put to bed a new striker coming in as I doubt we would spend however much on lemar and a striker to leave one sitting on the bench. Lemar would be seen as a replacement for coutinho I would imagine. Gk and CBS are priorities. I know klopp has said Marius is his no1 and now mignolet is no1 but surely he can't be that naive to think either is good enough. Mignolet was at his level at Sunderland and karius while I admit didn't get a proper crack of the whip still doesn't fill me with confidence. Least I say about the cbs the better. Think Gomez should be giving a go. Surely he can't do worse than what's already going on at the back. Anyway enough moaning I'm going 2-0 Liverpool on Saturday . let's put mourinho back in his box.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool were one of many clubs that showed various levels of interest in Lemar but he was not going to be joining Liverpool this past summer. Next summer Liverpool May elect to considering him as a replacement for Coutinho.}
1.) 12 Oct 2017 21:29:31
Cheers ed002. Appreciate the reply.
2.) 13 Oct 2017 12:52:16
Ed002 now that your about would I be right in thinking that Couthino unless he has a massive change of heart he'll be off in the summer?
{Ed002's Note - he still wants out I understands. Liverpool can block a move.}
3.) 13 Oct 2017 15:52:57
Thanks for the reply Ed. It's gone on a bit now just get a much for him as we can and move him on I say.
{Ed002's Note - I think thoughts will turn to him leaving next summer.}
4.) 13 Oct 2017 17:49:57
My feelings exactly Ed thank's a million.
5.) 14 Oct 2017 15:58:25
Lemars preference for arsenal is due to their consistent appearance in the CL, he would prefer Liverpool if we can stay in the CL and retain a place. No move will be made unless Coutinho goes, that's unlikely until the summer even though we were told it's now or never, Barcelona are quickly realising their position of power is fading, dembele out long term, they have to show massive support politically to the Catalonian cause, a lot of Spanish players aren't quite fancying them anymore. Interesting times ahead for Barcelona, not particularly positive either.
6.) 15 Oct 2017 08:52:21
Jbleftpeg not entirely sure what anyone could disagree with there. Arsenal had 20 years of ECL so better bet still than us.
7.) 19 Oct 2017 00:33:49
I heard Lemar was open for a move to LFC, but they never bid anything close to what Monaco wanted.
20 Jul 2021 11:09:19
Quick question ed002. I seen you said that we haven’t paid for last years transfers yet. Liverpool tend to spread the cost of the transfer over the course of the players contracts by the looks of it. Question I’m getting at is
1. Do we do this more than most clubs do?
2. In your opinion on the outside looking in are Liverpool doing the right thing or just kicking the debt further down the road in the hope more success follows which obviously brings in more revenue etc
3. Probably a stupid question and obvious answer but paying for players over a longer period of time does that mean the club pay more in taxes/ interest for example Thiago bought for 20 million, because it was spread over 4-5 years does it cost the club 25 million instead of paying once off payment of 20 million.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool didn't have the money to buy the players they wanted so they had Jota as a third pick because Wolves would accept payments being spread out. Liverpool are building debt and making huge losses - which is why they must sell to buy or do more with the players that they have - and they have some very good youngsters. If payments are spread out the club have to pay a premium.}
26 Jun 2021 15:44:32
ElsiesArmy. Harvey Elliot and Curtis jones.
30 May 2021 12:19:35
IPC12. Your talking absolute rubbish mate. Jones who is not forward thinking as you put it outscored and had more assists than Fabinho Henderson Keita and winjaldum had combined last season. Not bad for a big time Charlie. Jones will be even better next season.
26 Aug 2019 22:15:07
Ed002. Cheers for the reply. Much appreciated.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
26 Aug 2019 16:56:04
Ed002. I get the attraction for Salah wanting to play for Madrid. Nicer city, great weather ect but do you think there is anything Liverpool could do to change salahs mind like a bumper new contract or some guarantees that would convince him to give his prime years to Liverpool or is Madrid the dream and we just have to get use to Salah won't be around too much longer?
{Ed002's Note - Players are transient employees of a club, and clubs really should not look to but the bank making wxceptions. Right now he is stuck in the best place to be stuck - Liverpool breaking the bank to keep him will make other players miffed. I don't see him going anywhere right now as I said - Real Madrid want another player going forward.}
