Awful news about Beck, same injury again in his first game back for Blackburn.
1.) 14 Apr 2025 14:09:36
Pity. Hope he recovers. Fear he might be sold.
2.) 14 Apr 2025 16:23:35
That's some darn bad luck. Hopefully the fella makes a speedy recovery.
3.) 14 Apr 2025 23:57:27
The more times you get the same muscles injury the greater the chance of it happening again. Unlike bones muscle tears don't heal back stronger the vast majority of the time.
26 Oct 2024 11:26:02
Could we be seeing a new Egyptian king at anfield Ed, Omar Marmoush linked and is having a very good season.
{Ed002's Note - Omar Marmoush (S/LW) Eintracht Frankfurt have no intention of selling the the right footed versatile forward although West Ham has a declared interest. His agent says there is still interest from Newcastle, Spurs and Brentford. Apparently, noted by Liverpool scouts when were watching another player late last season. Chelsea have sent scouts.}
1.) 26 Oct 2024 12:44:20
I was in Egypt last week and all the locals raved about him, think he’s going to be as good as Salah they reckon. Doubt it but there ya go.
2.) 26 Oct 2024 12:53:29
I just want to say that I bought a marmoush Frankfurt kit last year, halfway through his breakout season, I think he looks a Liverpool player all over, would be ecstatic if he signed for us, he has massive potential and a great attitude.
3.) 26 Oct 2024 13:20:49
Marmoosh is a very good winger, 2nd striker, but we have Diaz, Gakpo and Jota for the LW and he can't play as a lone striker from what i have seen. Very quick and has a very good shot on him. He's 26 in February so i don't know about the potential part. A perfect Diaz replacement if we were to sign him.
4.) 26 Oct 2024 14:43:45
What I mean is that he can get even better in a bigger team and a much bigger stage, just like mo did. Maybe he won’t reach the same heights as mo, given that mo is one of the greatest ever, but the potential is there for him to become a top player.
5.) 26 Oct 2024 15:22:06
Another right footed winger or forward? Not so sure.
But what made me grin widely was the Lamine Yamal rumour, this morning. Hope springs eternal, right? ?.
6.) 26 Oct 2024 17:37:56
I saw the Yamal rumour too @ArAy and like you, it made me laugh too. Headlines at the end of the next transfer window - Failure Hughes Fails to Sign Yamal. You read it here first.
7.) 26 Oct 2024 19:11:57
Headlines WDW thinks Liverpool were bang on starting the contract negotiations in October and had a good summer transfer window.
8.) 26 Oct 2024 22:11:37
Could you show me where I actually said either of those things @Mark? perhaps it’s a bit late on a Saturday night to do a search particularly at a time of the week when people can be a tiny bit tired and emotional.
9.) 26 Oct 2024 22:48:57
Agree with ArAy.
Right footed?
Next!
28 Aug 2024 13:49:32
Credit to ya Ed002 from day one you stated that Liverpool should be going for Chiesa and that now looks likely.
If you could now also state Liverpool should be going for Inacio that would be greatly appreciated ?.
Thanks as always for your patience and info you pass on here daily. It makes this site what it is and why I log in 67 times a day.
{Ed002's Note - Thanks, I think a far better option than Gordon.}
1.) 28 Aug 2024 14:22:01
but it probably would mean 1 of the current 5 would leave, probably in the same window.
My feel is that only Jota and Gakpo has 0 chance leaving.
I wonder if people would be happy if following Chisea, Liverpool sell Salah to Saudi? Say for 100M?
OR Nunez say at 50M to whoever？.
2.) 28 Aug 2024 14:45:56
I get the feeling that Diaz is going to get his wish for Spain.
Salah is still an untouchable for me. And if I put aside what we paid for Nunez, I'd still keep him in the team because maybe with more efficient guidance, he can learn to stay onside and hit the nets and not the woodwork.
3.) 28 Aug 2024 14:51:24
It makes absolute sense that Chiesa is better option than Gordon.
Agree with Ed2.
4.) 28 Aug 2024 14:51:45
Sometimes players just need a change of scenery to kick start their careers again. Let’s hope this is just that for Chiesa.
As for selling someone, I’d be disappointed to lose any of our forward players I think they all have potent but different attributes and we can use all of them.
5.) 28 Aug 2024 14:36:18
I don't log out @Jimmy Boy. too scared I'll miss something.
6.) 28 Aug 2024 14:40:05
Haven’t a considerable number of people on here been looking for back-up for Mo for years? I believe Chiesa is comfortable playing on both the right and left side?
As an aside we got £25m for Carvalho who looks like a good player in the Championship and we are paying £11-12m for a 26 year old who has 51 caps for Italy. I assume that (at least some of) the pitchforks have been put back in the garden shed?
7.) 28 Aug 2024 14:53:23
10 million pounds transfer fee and 120k pw salary how is it obligatory for the club to sell anyone? The season is long and Chiesa himself should not be overexposed after that injury.
8.) 28 Aug 2024 14:55:44
Absolutely love Chiesa. I've wanted him at Liverpool for years now and, at the reported £10m~, looks to be a crazy bargain.
9.) 28 Aug 2024 15:01:19
67? amateur.
10.) 28 Aug 2024 15:17:02
Ed2 am I right in thinking you said a few years back that you thought FC would be a good fit? Or am I imagining things?
{Ed002's Note - Yes, he is a very good player.}
11.) 28 Aug 2024 15:44:06
Aray, agree that we can keep Nunez.
For me, it should be between Diaz and Gakpo.
But if Mo is not extending his contract, it might just be time to say goodbye. Notwithstanding, he by far is the most impactful Liverpool player during the premier league era, as close to or maybe even surpass Gerrard.
12.) 28 Aug 2024 16:07:04
"I think a far better option than Gordon"
This!
13.) 28 Aug 2024 16:34:29
Afternoon guys, Chiesa is a shrewd piece of business, he may have lost some pace after the injury only time will tell but I am really happy we have signed him.
14.) 28 Aug 2024 16:35:55
If Nunez can't stay on side or take chances in the bigger games at this stage, Im not convinced that composure and techniqe can be entrained. He has the power, the work ethic, pace and skill, but does he have the temperament and intelligence to level up?
The jury is out.
15.) 28 Aug 2024 16:54:06
I like Nunez. He should stay. Think he’s available more games than jota . Love the guy and he loves us. YNWA Darwin lad.
16.) 28 Aug 2024 18:32:14
Chiesa is a clever buy - that's being opportunistic with minimal risk! A different player to Salah, more direct and his stats for crossing compared to Salah, Diaz and Gapko are much higher. I do wonder if Chiesa has been bought in to help transform Nunez. Regardless, he will add a different dimension to Slot's team.
17.) 28 Aug 2024 19:00:46
If any of the 5 are in danger of going, I'd say Gakpo after last seasons dross (not his fault but Diaz is better than him on left) But personally wouldn't want any to go.
15 Aug 2024 09:18:27
Hi Ed,
Is there aby interest in Kelleher from Juve now they have released Szczesny. Thought I seen something a few weeks ago they were monitoring his situation.
{Ed002's Note - They have signed a replacement already.}
1.) 15 Aug 2024 10:47:11
I was wondering the same Jimmy Boy. Haven’t heard of any solid approaches for Kelleher, just some loose Celtic interest a while back. Wonder if he may stay on again for another season as No 2 and leave next summer to be No 1. Do we know if Kelleher wants to leave this summer?
2.) 15 Aug 2024 10:36:31
Thank you for quick reply.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
3.) 15 Aug 2024 14:59:13
Signed a replacement who will go out on loan, not ideal if Kelleher pushes for a move this summer.
4.) 15 Aug 2024 17:13:08
Are we still looking for a back up goalie for this season if Kelleher leaves?
Considering Szczesny would count as home grown, wouldn’t be a bad option if he’s willing to be number 2.
22 Jul 2024 12:59:19
Ed002 do you see us switching our attention to Chiesa now, as you said Newcastle are not open to any players as part of the deal for Gordon.
{Ed002's Note - That is not what I said.}
1.) 22 Jul 2024 17:44:49
Chiesa won't be joining Liverpool.
2.) 22 Jul 2024 17:28:51
Paying the Gordon and Inacio fee's in one lump is a fair old whack, especially if there are no exchanges tied in.
Ed's, how do wages saved get factored into the years transfer spend? LFC have cut a large slice from the wage bill this summer, with more to follow.
{Ed002's Note - Wages are nothing to with the transfer spend but the ongoing cost of the player.}
3.) 22 Jul 2024 19:29:04
I think we all get our financial knowledge from footie manager ? do you think liverpool will realistically be able to get their targets without too many sales though ed?
{Ed002's Note - I would not expect to see Liverpool to sell players they wish to keep just to add players. There are players Liverpool are happy to see move on and others who want to go.
4.) 22 Jul 2024 21:11:55
What you on about ED, you just move the slider to put wage into transfer. Easy.
5.) 22 Jul 2024 23:12:41
Yes gorkee and pay ten million up front with a hundred million over 3 years we can also sign any foreign players we want and allocate them a non eu slot if they don’t get a work permit, he obviously doesn’t know a thing :p.
6.) 22 Jul 2024 23:20:11
Usually when you start a new career and a new coach you have the option to have financial takeover and have as much as $500mil added to your budget. Did FSG not consider this when they started fresh with Slot?
If not they are absolutely incompetent gamers. Unless EA sports have been lying to me all these years? if it's in the game, then it's in the game?

Jones. " The scouser in our Team ".
14 Apr 2025 12:14:42
Just seen Diaz is only on £60k per week and 3 years left. If true the power is with the club and he should be kept with Jota and Nunez moved on.
1.) 14 Apr 2025 12:37:37
Jimmy who in their right mind would buy Jota the way he's playing at the moment?
2.) 14 Apr 2025 12:38:48
I like Diaz, he lacks a bit of end product but he’s got good skill, pace and effort. He’s definitely worth keeping for the squad, and better than the likes of Chiesa who doesn’t deserve to be on more money than him that’s for sure.
3.) 14 Apr 2025 12:43:09
And somehow we think that Diaz is going to hang around while earning the same salary as Nat Phillips and Tsimikas? There are quite a number of ways to get out of contracts (the famous "back pain" comes to mind), and we've all seen them.
4.) 14 Apr 2025 13:13:47
Only my opinion but I think football is almost at breaking point with the wages and inflation.
To go to the match yesterday cost about £300 for me and my son and if I’m being honest it wasn’t edge of the seat entertainment that will live long in memory. The great thing to come out of it was that my team won and we’re now 3 points closer to the title.
On the other hand I could have stayed home and streamed it for free and the great thing to come out of that would be that my team won and we’re now 3 points closer to the title.
There’s already talk that owners want rid of season tickets and premier league football to become the ultimate tourist attraction.
Thats all well and good for the bank balances but as we’re seeing it’s not great for atmosphere.
5.) 14 Apr 2025 13:25:37
Is an interesting conundrum. We need a ST, LB for the first XI and some squad players. Hence, to have the funds, we may need to sell him to bolster the squad since he has the most sale value out of him, Nunez and Jota.
On the other hand, selling Diaz will weaken our depth on the left.
I would prefer to keep Diaz one more year before selling him, but if he fancies a move, I would not be mad if we cash in.
P. S. In the scenario that we sell Diaz, I would still try to sell both Jota and Nunez, although I don't know if anyone is interested in Jota.
6.) 14 Apr 2025 13:44:45
JK, you're bang on about the atmosphere in the ground and where the game's heading. Owners of big clubs do want it to become a tourist attraction and it's heading that way. I tend to get in the ground early and when I do, for the first half hour I'm the only one there with an English accent, and that's debatable with my Black Country drone! But most of those there have spent loads in the club shop and it's a once in a life time experience. They don't want old blokes like me, who might buy a coffee if I'm feeling flush! But, like you say, JK, it comes at a price, as in my opinion it's had a detrimental affect on the atmosphere. I hope this doesn't make me sound like a xenophobe, because that's certainly not my intention, nor am I.
7.) 14 Apr 2025 13:50:16
Watching it on TV yesterday, and for a while now, it’s become more noticeable the lack of atmosphere. While we’re still better than many I really hope the owners don’t push through any plans to reduce season tickets, unless the walk up tickets go to local fans.
I heard recently a supporter at city was having a haircut in the stand while streaming it with the match going on in the background. If that’s true it sort of sums up where footballs at with certain clubs.
{Ed025's Note - yeah JS the local thing has gone mate where you used to support your local team and its all about money now, the fact is that under 6,000 Liverpool season ticket holders have a Liverpool postcode, whereas the likes of Everton have over 25,000..
8.) 14 Apr 2025 14:50:40
Reports that the Saudis now looking at Diaz as Vinicius Jr looks unachievable.
9.) 14 Apr 2025 14:58:29
Do Lfc fans HAVE to be from Liverpool? Coming from Ireland and spending hundreds whenever i get over for a match i don't really think it matters. More about whether fans add to the atmosphere or just sit there videoing the game on their phone.
10.) 14 Apr 2025 15:13:26
The people's game, eh? ?.
11.) 14 Apr 2025 15:50:30
Aye JK, the cost is crazy - crazier still when you factor in a flight (from Northern Ireland for me) and overnight stays, even train costs are high
So many people showing receipts online of how much cheaper it is to go to Italy and watch a match - ridiculous that you can fly to Milan, stay a night and watch a match cheaper than you pay for the club you support.
12.) 14 Apr 2025 17:28:54
Personally I think no player should be paid more than £25k a week. If fans of every club just boycott every game for a season things would need to change.
13.) 14 Apr 2025 17:39:38
Whilst your sentiment is very admirable, Walter, it would never, ever happen, mate.
{Ed001's Note - even if it did, what would happen to the rest of the money? It would just go into the pockets of the billionaires who own the clubs and not give fans any benefits at all. I would rather the players earnt more than club owners.}
14.) 14 Apr 2025 17:42:30
If we actually did that, Walter we’d quickly see where the real loyalty lies. I’m all for the idea, it’ll never happen but the constant rise in wages and everything else has to hit a ceiling eventually.
15.) 14 Apr 2025 17:43:48
I think the product on the pitch has deteriorated so much too. This possession based game is not for me. Throw in the blatant cheating and inept and possible corrupt refereeing and the game is just such a hard watch now. The arts of attacking and particularly defending are lost. Loving seeing us winning number 20 but I'd rather play or watch golf now that watch the PL.
16.) 14 Apr 2025 17:52:38
What I never understand about the atmosphere problem is that surely the Kop is still all/ mostly season ticket holders?
Isn’t that where most of the singing/ chants start? Seems to be whenever I’ve been, but it’s far from constant.
I’m not having a pop at anyone, but isn’t that the main problem?
A mate of mine invited me to a Champions League game in the Stretford end, it was the same there. The odd song every now and again but it was far from constant either. There was one drunk fella shouting at everyone for not singing which was quite funny, you could hear him over anything else.
It seems like all fans, whether season ticket holders, occasional, or tourist fans just aren’t as vocal any more.
I might be wrong, I’ve only been to about 8 games over the past few years. At times during the games it was deafening, at others very quiet. To be honest, I thought at the time that people were just watching the game.
17.) 14 Apr 2025 14:01:23
That's a very sad stat, Ed025. I suppose people like me add to the problem because I travel 90 miles. I do at least sing though, when I'm there!
{Ed025's Note - it surprised me to be honest Rome, i know quite a few myself and my lad is one of them..
18.) 14 Apr 2025 14:21:40
I’d happily take a few tickets and push that up to 6002! That’s crazy, and I’m even surprised at the Everton number. I would have thought it’d be about 60/ 70% local for both clubs, with over 1m in the city region those figs are really low.
{Ed025's Note - yeah JS i would have guessed in that region mate, it just shows you how much its changed in recent years, a lot will be down to cost i imagine..
19.) 14 Apr 2025 18:54:49
Decent atmosphere in the Kop yesterday ?.
20.) 14 Apr 2025 18:37:46
All sporting events should be like the Masters, no mobile phones. I would imagine people would get more excited and into the matches if they were actually watching it and not filming the games.
{Ed025's Note - spot on Mac..
21.) 14 Apr 2025 21:28:33
Fans want the most expensive players on the biggest salaries.
Where's the money going to come from? Ticket prices ain't going to drop, neither are shirt prices.
And binning mobile phones for the match duration would be a good idea, but hard to implement.
22.) 14 Apr 2025 21:33:16
I think a lot of the local people simply cannot afford to attend the matches I know I can't go. Rather spend my money on my kids and treat them.
In financial terms it is very lucky we have such a high reached following to help fill the stadium and get the money into the club.
If I had my way less prize money less incomes less wages and no more trying to copy pep and this nonsense style of play.
I might be a grumpy negative old git but I actually preferred football when utd was dominant in the early 90s. Better football and football was for everyone back then.
23.) 14 Apr 2025 23:45:35
Part of the finance we raise is because we are a global club with a huge fan base (470m+) . Make it local support only and we wouldn't be winning trophies like we are now.
The price for that is you can't get a season ticket and it's almost impossible to buy any in the ballot.
You can only really get them on reseller websites at £400 a pop (x 4 if you take the family) .
There is no real fix for it unfortunately. Even building a new 100k seater stadium wouldn't completely fix the situation as there are so many of us fans wanting to watch.
24.) 14 Apr 2025 23:52:39
@Neg, I’d love it to go back to what it was in the old days. Match of the Day on Saturday night, Sunday a game from the previous day on Granada. Sports night with Coleman on a Wednesday night with highlights from the weekend and the only live matches shown were the FA Cup Final, the European Cup Final, if there was an English team in it and England’s international matches.
Of course you could get into most matches by turning up and buying a ticket on the day and those that were there actually wentyou watch the match. It’s a shame that the way the game was, from a spectators point of view, is becoming an ever distant memory and has been replaced by a bunch of ex-footballers who, shall we say, aren’t the sharpest tools in the box.
25.) 15 Apr 2025 05:16:33
Poor guy, the cost of living crisis must really be hitting Lucho hard.
26.) 15 Apr 2025 07:16:59
Re: the postcode thing.
If you’re born and raised in Liverpool but through education and/ or hard work or family reasons, you end up moving out of the city, I’d still consider Liverpool as “my local team”.
Not that postcode matters at all, but I think the postcode argument is facetious for that reason.
27 Mar 2025 09:46:57
I would imagine that Nunez is destined for Saudi in the summer. We would have sold him in January if we could get a replacement.
If we are to get Isak I do believe he will need to push for a move and we cannot wait around and let it drag on all summer we need to be sure all our deals are done as early as possible.
My guess for the summer is.
Outs: Salah, Nunez, Trent, Gomez, Kostas, Kelliher.
Ins: Gordon/ Isak Kerkez/ Hato, Huijesen/ Bastoni, Frimpong and a midfielder.
1.) 27 Mar 2025 11:10:03
I really hope we keep Salah and Virgil. Based on who has been linked I think best case that I'm hoping for is 8 out, 5 in.
Sell Kelleher, Trent, Konate, Tsimikas, Morton, Doak, Diaz and Nunez. Conservatively estimating, we'd probably get about £200m for those 8.
Replace with Guehi, Kerkez, Frendrup, Frimpong and Isak. Would probably cost about £300m to get those 5.
I like Frimpong as a Diaz replacement because Chiesa/ Gakpo/ Jota are all better on the LW so we're more in need of a RW. Frimpong can also play RB though which means he can also play with Salah and help cover the loss of Trent if Bradley struggles to stay fit.
Frendrup makes sense as a midfield signing because he can play RB, DM and CM. Similar player to Kimmich (who will be signing a new contract at Bayern to rule him out for us) . Gives us an extra option in there as Morton hasn't been afforded the trust to rest Gravenberch enough. Danish players historically do well for us and he's said Gerrard is his idol too.
I'm not 100% sure about Guehi but seems to be the CB we're most interested in and I view him as a pretty similar level to Konate anyway. Better on the ball but worse in the air. Other than that very similar in terms of aggression and recovery pace. Not who I'd pick, but other than Huijsen (who I would pick but who looks Madrid bound) Guehi is the most suited to replace Konate out of everyone linked.
Isak and Kerkez would be transformational signings and even if they were the only signings of the summer I'd be over the moon. Our two weakest positions in the starting XI by far, and they're the best ST and LB in the Premier League in my opinion.
Mamardashvili replacing Kelleher is an obvious change that's been in the works for a year so no new keeper should be necessary. I don't think we can realistically change more than this in one summer though.
2.) 27 Mar 2025 12:08:03
Hopefully, salah will stay and Gordon will replace Diaz if he leaves.
5 to 6 incomings will be a lot and may disrupt our title defence.
I think 1 striker, 1 midfielder and 1 right back will be enough if konate and vvd stay.
Beck to compete with Robertson.
3.) 27 Mar 2025 13:36:59
Going from Konate to Guehi would be the nearly as bad a downgrade as Suarez to Balotelli. Absolutely dreadful defender, poor decision making, poor awareness, weak physically and short for a centre back. As for Danes doing traditionally quite well, for every Molby or Agger, there’s a Poulsen or Piechnik. Definitely don’t see the fuss with Frimpong, as a right back, he’s awful defensively, as a right winger, he’s mediocre at best., So the worst of both worlds. As for Isak, pigs might fly before you see him wearing a Liverpool shirt.
{Ed025's Note - are their any players you actually like Victor ?..
4.) 27 Mar 2025 14:00:47
I can’t see Liverpool having a £30 million back up keeper. What does that tell you.
5.) 27 Mar 2025 15:13:19
Ed025, last summer I said we'd be wise to take Raphinha in a swap deal for Luis Diaz and VictorVaughan absolutely berated me and went in extremely hard on Raphinha. "Bang average" etc. Well here we are with Rahpinha on 52 g/ a for the season and probably favourite for the Balon D'or given Salah can only win 1 trophy this season now. How can I take Victor's opinions on any player seriously when he called Raphinha "bang average" when he was clearly a very talented player on a steep upward trajectory?
{Ed025's Note - Victor is a miserable sod MK and you have to take his opinions with a pinch of salt, i actually like the guy but he seems to have a very low opinion of players mate but everyone to their own i suppose..
26 Mar 2025 13:58:22
Ed01 it looks like Bajcetic has had a serious change of attitude and form.
Do you expect Slot to give him a chance to compete with Gravenberch as is the Spanish league more suited to him.
{Ed001's Note - has he? I have only seen him a couple of times, but he has been awful both times and the games passed him by. He might have improved his attitude, that is very possible, but there seems to be a serious case of PR going with regards to his performances. Even the game he got dragged off at half-time, I read reports talking about how he was great. He wasn't. He was utter dog muck, spent most of the half just watching.
I have to admit, I have serious worries about him now. He looked like a lost puppy. There was no anticipation of danger, little awareness. Which is a shame. I would certainly not be so sure his form is anywhere near as good as the reports suggest though.}
1.) 26 Mar 2025 17:04:26
He’s has an absolutely terrible season.
{Ed001's Note - have you seen a lot of him mark? Is what I saw representative of his performances in general?}
28 Jan 2025 11:30:21
Ed mate, I know we shouldn't talk finances here's so Im sorry.
Surely having our 3 most marketable players leave would be financial suicide. It would affect sponsors and jersey manufacturers interest in doing a deal knowing that the 3 main guys they would want selling the product will not be here. Especially with the amount of merchandise sales Mo Salah generates world wide.
{Ed001's Note - yes, it would have an effect.}
1.) 28 Jan 2025 16:56:17
It will also affect the ability of the club to sell it's vision as a viable destination club for transfer prospects who want to come to us and strengthen our first eleven.
2.) 28 Jan 2025 18:01:30
Is that because players won’t want to sign or is it that emerging young talent will want to join as there will be a clear pathway into the first team, @Oli?
3.) 28 Jan 2025 18:57:38
The destination club point is key.
Jurgen said to us that was the aim.
Are we going to continue on that path?
These contract renewals will answer that.

There’s only 3 clubs that are destinations greater or equal to us right now RM, Bayern, Barca.
If our players don’t agree contracts, and go anywhere other than those 3 that’s a money decision, not a destination one.

It could be "FIVE", konate, diaz also refusing new contracts if the rumour has it?

I suppose for French players, particularly from Paris, PSG would be a destination club as well so if Konate ended up there I could understand that move. For virtually any other nationality of player they’re a money choice with guaranteed CL football.
Our offer to players is great on one level, because of our history and relative success in Europe over a long period of time, we’re still a great place to build a career and a destination club for many. We do need to win more trophies though, stay in CL each year, and remain competitive on wages.
The slight optimism with two of the current three, and maybe with Diaz as well, is that with the exception of Trent where are they going to go. Barcelona don’t seem to have money, on the face of it Bayern aren’t interested at the wages being asked for, PSG may be interested in Salah but he knows that’s a backward step, and seems like none of them want Saudi unless it’s their only option.
I also wonder given there’s no news on Trent whether he’s holding out for an offer to stay. If he really was decided on a move surely RM have the offer on the table and he would have agreed with them by now.

West Derby Wanderer3 well, it could be for both reasons. Why does it have to be either/ or?
Klopp wanted us to be a destination club and for the most sought-after CM at the time) and we signed players like Salah, Mane, Bobbie, Gini, Fab etc., all players who were on the cusp of greatness and became legends of the club.
While at the same time, attracting great youth prospects like Harvey, Ngomoah, Gordon and having academy grads. like TAA, Bradley, Kellerher, Quansah etc. Why choose when you can have it all, mate?

Klopp didn't sign Firmino but he did a very good job of managing him.

Player exchanges will happen more and more in the premier league due to financial Restraints.
I see Liverpool looking to include players for a deal with Isaak. I wouldn’t rule out Anthony Gordon either.

At least he can score in the bedroom.

He should buy united, they already have a few robots at the back.

I would imagine Endo will leave if a new midfielder comes in.
29 Dec 2024 13:27:28
Ed001 mate, are you confident we will get Trent to stay.
{Ed001's Note - I have no idea, I don't know what the club is willing to offer him. If they are listening to posters on here with their comments about how the best right back in the world is easily replaceable, despite already needing to replace Salah and Virgil even if they stay due to age, they will only be offering him minimum wage. I doubt he will accept that, nor should he.}
