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?
15 Jul 2024 18:17:36
Hi Ed002 any interest from Liverpool in Mo Simakan?
{Ed002's Note - Mo Simakan (CB/RB) Versatile and an option for Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs - but not first choice for any. RBL will not want to sell.}
25 Jun 2024 19:34:55
Seen some rumours Man Utd have bid for Ugarte. Has our interest ended since the tapping up or is he player we still may make a move for.
{Ed002's Note - Manuel Ugarte (DM) Agent has said that the player and PSG may be open to a move if the right offer is made. He has spoken with Chelsea but it is difficult to see if they have a need. He has also spoken with Manchester United, Juventus, Newcastle, Milan, Spurs and Arsenal. I suspect Italy is the most likely destination but PSG might see any sale being dependent on adding Guimaraes although, right now, he appears to be heading elsewhere.}
1.) 26 Jun 2024 10:51:14
Thank you Ed002.
2.) 26 Jun 2024 12:05:34
Sorry to ask here, Ed002. I searched the other pages, is city most likely for Guimaraes?
{Ed002's Note - Yes, they are one of the interested sides and very keen.}
3.) 26 Jun 2024 14:30:54
Another day, another top drawer player going to City : (.
4.) 26 Jun 2024 18:16:13
Patrik, we made the choice of not moving on Guimaraes in January 2022, despite following him for a while.
Luckily, we have Mac Allister who is as good, has a better temperament and is younger.
I still think Ugarte would be a good signing for Liverpool, despite his struggles in Paris. He might not as technical as Tchouameni or Rodri (who is? ) but he will make up for that in sheer ball recovery output. I'd also wager that like Darwin and his compatriot, Suarez, he'll feed (no pun) off the fan energy to overperform.
At the same time, Ederson would be a fine choice.
5.) 26 Jun 2024 18:40:29
Not good enough for PSG and not good enough for us. We need a midfielder who can use the ball as well as he can win it. Ugarte is very limited in this regard, said the same thing last year when we"missed out"on him.
6.) 26 Jun 2024 18:42:28
I will second that FPY. Manuel Ugarte would be a solid addition. His ball recovery is second to none.
7.) 26 Jun 2024 20:01:14
Personally I’d rather we sign Ederson over either of those as he absolutely dominated us over two legs and was one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe last season.
8.) 27 Jun 2024 00:18:43
Ederson all day.
9.) 27 Jun 2024 02:48:59
Ugarte is really not great on the ball, I’m hoping all of you who slate Endo in that regard aren’t asking for Ugarte as a replacement, Endo in my eyes is rather better at using the ball than he is…we need a 6 who can also break the lines carrying the ball or passing it from deep, ederson fits the mould perfectly.

There was a poster on here a while back that is pals with Gomez and he was convinced Trent was signing a new deal. Has he mentioned anything lately.
1.) 03 Sep 2024 12:38:02
Square Tomato, haven’t heard from him.
2.) 03 Sep 2024 13:30:41
Square Tomato was giving good inputs on Joe Gomez.
Not sure who was providing updates for Trent.
3.) 03 Sep 2024 13:50:04
It was somebody who has Curtis Jones (at least that’s what everybody guessed cuz the poster didn’t actually say, only hinted) as an in law who said that the lfc player in law stated that Trent would never run out his contract to sign for real.
4.) 03 Sep 2024 19:35:46
Guilty PB ?.
21 Aug 2024 13:22:44
It seems to me and I could be way off, If VVD doesn't sign a new deal then we will make a move for Inacio . If VVD signs a new deal then we will move for a back up centre back or go with what we have.
It's probably the same situation with Salah, if he doesn't sign we will move for Bakayoko, if he does we will stay with what we have.
{Ed002's Note - What "new deal" is that?}
1.) 21 Aug 2024 13:42:22
Hi Ed2. Hope you don't mind me asking this.
Is the reason that there is no new contract offer for VVD all to do with him wanting to wait and see how well Slot does before making any commitment?
Or is there a hesitancy on the club's side too?
{Ed002's Note - I would not try to read too much in to it.}
2.) 21 Aug 2024 14:26:55
Ed2 - do you RTFP mate. Advising people here or to read too much into is an impossible ask hahahahaah.
3.) 21 Aug 2024 15:53:34
No more paper left in the printer, Brommers.
13 Aug 2024 07:42:16
Ed002 mate if you don't mind giving your opinion on how we have conducted ourselves through this transfer window.
I know you have said we have flip flopped between targets. It now seems we threw all our eggs Zubamendi and that has backfired. And most importantly we still have not signed up 3 of our senior players to new contracts.
It's frustrating as a fan but we have a good squad and good manager and I'm still confident we can be successful this season.
{Ed002's Note - The lady from Marseilles was less than was not impressed by Hughes at all. The flip-flopping between targets has been frustrating to watch from the outside as it means PSG have signed Pacho, Juventus should complete the sale for Koopmeiners making Ederson no longer available, and Zubimendi staying means that Arsenal are free to sign Merino. And of course this has pretty much got Liverpool nowhere. The club started the transfer window well informed on targets and will get additions by the end of the month.}
1.) 13 Aug 2024 09:45:41
Ed002, is there a specific reason why we never went back in for Andre at Fluminense? Or were we never really interested in the first place? Seems like he'd be a similar style of player to Zubimendi but probably quite a bit cheaper.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool moved on and purchased an alternate.}
07 Aug 2024 13:01:51
Never mind Varela or zubomendi, the best news we could get this week is VVD, Trent and Mo signing new contracts.
1.) 07 Aug 2024 13:30:16
It would be a great start Jimmy ?.
2.) 07 Aug 2024 13:37:11
ignore my last post, I just read what I wanted to see, my bad ?.
3.) 07 Aug 2024 13:46:01
I can understand the process of signing players takes time and it’s more important to get the right players in the end. I can’t understand how they can’t even get at least one of them to sign, it would show some sort of intent.
4.) 07 Aug 2024 14:30:44
How do we know “they can’t” get one of them to sign.
Seems like a bit of an absolute statement.
5.) 07 Aug 2024 16:03:20
They haven’t got any of them to sign so far. So I assume as of today they can’t provide a package that makes anyone of the 3 want to sign.
Again Faith maybe you know different!
6.) 07 Aug 2024 16:44:19
They have not signed so far, as far as we know but that is down to Trent and Virgil being at international tournaments and on holiday. Mo doesn't fall into that tho. Maybe talks have not taken place, so everyone can settle in and concentrate on the US tour. Assuming they can't provide a package because they have not signed a new contract yet, is just idiotic.
7.) 07 Aug 2024 16:47:09
Personal view is that if Zubimendi says he doesn’t fancy it, don’t waste any time trying to convince him, move on to Ederson, though Atalanta will be the obstacle there, and if that’s a problem then move on to Varela.
8.) 07 Aug 2024 16:53:14
Mark mate I truly believe they are trying to sign the right players, we need to buy what’s better than what we already have and I would imagine that’s what they are trying to do but unfortunately those players may not be available or quite simply they want to go elsewhere. We don’t need squad fillers anymore we need players that can make an immediate impact that improves our starting 11.
9.) 07 Aug 2024 17:43:35
Anyone who has ever spent time in San Sebastian will understand why Zubimendi may be happy where he is!
10.) 07 Aug 2024 17:53:37
These players have been back a few days if there was an agreement they would of course have signed. There will have been ongoing talks with the players agents or at least you would hope so.
Jimmy mate, I also believe they will be trying to sign the right players but my goodness they make it harder than it needs to be.
11.) 07 Aug 2024 19:53:52
I’m totally biased but I’ve no idea why Liverpool aren’t seen as a primary destination by today’s players.
12.) 07 Aug 2024 20:53:39
Mark, relax. You seem to have forgotten how long it took for Salah to sign the new deal he currently possesses. Yeah, I do and I remember people losing their patience and acting out out of frustration to the point of saying they were done with him and would ship him out and use the funds to sing "insert new shiny toy here". I know you remember that saga.
So if you think signings and transfers take a long time and are complicated and unpredictable (which they are) then, you better believe such contracts for top players and world class ability take long as well, as Salah's example shows. Just saying.
13.) 07 Aug 2024 21:54:04
I have no idea tbh. But to say “we can’t” seems to suggest that you know something we don’t.
14.) 08 Aug 2024 00:57:40
Harder than it needs to be Mark? You wouldn’t have the first clue about what goes in to players contracts and how to offer/ negotiate them. None of us do.
They’re not written on the back of a fag packet down the pub like in the good old days.
22 Jul 2024 19:38:24
If Sepp is keen to move to PSV and our interest in Bakayoko maybe a deal can be done for both.
1.) 22 Jul 2024 20:39:01
Can see this happening.
2.) 23 Jul 2024 12:48:02
Unless Kubo is the target.
How SVDB thinks he's over priced, I do not know. Check the stats for last seasons defenders in the Bundi, and then use Yoro as a comparison.
15 Aug 2024 10:36:31
Thank you for quick reply.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
26 Jun 2024 10:51:14
Thank you Ed002.
11 Jun 2024 07:50:41
Surely a deal with a buy back option would make sense.
03 Jan 2024 12:03:41
A lot of that is down to his own injury issues, he always seems to get a good run of form and then breaks down with an injury and then has to work his way back into the team and that’s how it should be for everyone.
Let’s hope injuries are behind him and he continues to play like this for the second half of the season.
08 Jun 2023 08:50:44
Appreciate the reply ed002 mate, just read some rumours Madrid might be open to letting him go and with our interest last year that he might become an option again.
03 Sep 2024 11:24:26
Our new Momo Sissoko ?.
24 Aug 2024 14:48:50
Mbeumo for me is an ideal replacement.
07 Aug 2024 16:53:14
Mark mate I truly believe they are trying to sign the right players, we need to buy what’s better than what we already have and I would imagine that’s what they are trying to do but unfortunately those players may not be available or quite simply they want to go elsewhere. We don’t need squad fillers anymore we need players that can make an immediate impact that improves our starting 11.
06 Aug 2024 09:20:38
Bradley has all the attributes to be a very good full back, butis still young and still learning his trade. He will get his fair share of game time this season but needs to be managed and not put unnecessary pressure and expectations on his shoulders.
{Ed025's Note - exactly Jimmy..
03 Aug 2024 16:35:40
Jota is probably the quickest ball carriers we have.
