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?
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.}

Are we going to be in a better position to win the league?
City will be back to their best next year, Arsenal getting Zubamendi and will buy a world class striker. Chelsea will be settled and will be much better.
It's vital we add players this window to push on and win number 20.
1.) 16 Jan 2025 08:40:06
Lots of assumptions there. Whilst I agree it's important to try and strengthen this window, I doubt many of our rivals will do much in January themselves, more likely in the summer.
2.) 16 Jan 2025 08:48:29
Slot puts us in good position for title but made the squad outperformed. As biz men of FSG, i will want to spend as little to achieve biz objectives.
1.Is winning the league title a business objective of FSG (as budget approver)?
2.even if title is objective, is the budget aka "financial framework" good enough to purchase players we need for title push? Especially in Jan?
3.) 16 Jan 2025 08:50:59
Adding players in January doesn't mean we will the League. We've done it before and not won the League.
4.) 16 Jan 2025 09:06:11
Fortunately Richard Hughes has just briefed Ornstein that he is monitoring Rafael Leao. If he was to leave in January or the summer there is a possibility he could monitor him further with a view to being aware of the situation.

This site really needs a spam/ troll filter.
Exactly the same posts just with slightly different wording multiple times a day by the same people. This tedious hate speech that they are attempting to cloak as comedy is getting in the way of what is an excellent site.
8.) 16 Jan 2025 10:43:18
@Rigsby, we should do what we can to improve our title chances. And buying quality players who can step into when there are injuries, loss of form, this goes a long way to boost. Also it signals an serious intention from owners they are backing Liverpool's title charge, definitely raise morale of players, fans.
9.) 16 Jan 2025 11:11:25
As someone who has been on the receiving end of hate speech, this isn't anything close to it, Shipley. It's banter albeit poor ones that are regurgitated and stolen from other social media accounts on X and insta. It's tedious and mildly annoying but it is just them expressing their dissatisfaction. The truly hateful and trolly ones, I'm sure the Eds have already filtered out.
10.) 16 Jan 2025 11:57:36
I'm sorry that has happened to you @Dracred - nobody should ever have to go through that. The fact is though that it is not banter, it is constant uneducated personal attacks on specific individuals. You can pass a one-off post as banter but when you are posting the exact same post 10 times a day over the course of several days that is in no way shape or form banter. You of all people should recognise that.
11.) 16 Jan 2025 12:09:02
Equally though, Rigsby, failing to adequately address shortcomings in the squad at critical times has cost us massively in recent years. There are plenty of examples, in 20/ 21, we desperately needed centre backs, were top of the league at the end of December, failed to do anything about it until the last day with two desperation signings who were both woeful, any chance of winning the league had disappeared by mid February. Then 22/ 23, was pretty clear that the season before had taken its toll, we had lots of ageing, injury prone players in midfield, should have done something about it, chose to sign an injury prone desperation loan signing rather than address this issues, ended up out the champions league the next season. 23/ 24, we were going reasonably well, but it was clear we were still short in midfield, we lacked a top quality defensive midfielder (still do in fairness), we dropped a bollock in the summer window with the Caicedo/ Lavia farce, we decided not to take any action in January and then fell away horribly around the end of March/ April time and were pretty much out of the title race in April. We’ve got exactly the same squad as last year (Chiesa has barely played so it’s not worth counting him) we’re beginning to look very leggy in midfield and our defence is looking shaky as well, it does feel like recent history is just repeating itself. I don’t want us acting like Chelsea and spending stupidly on players who will never play, but at the same time refreshing the squad periodically by moving players on who aren’t contributing and also making quality additions when needed isn’t unreasonable. Standing still is moving backwards. After winning the league in 19/ 20 there is no argument against the point that we have regressed.
12.) 16 Jan 2025 12:18:38
@Brummy, how about we deal with next yere/ season when we get there. We have a league to win this year/ season already so I would sooner focus on Brentford right now than whatever the football could, may or may not happen next season. Just my take.
13.) 16 Jan 2025 12:56:31
Lee, we should strengthen and increase our chances of winning the League if we can. The key words being 'if we can'.
I'm not saying we can't or that we can because I don't know.
I know that just signing any player won't necessarily do that though.
I would like a couple of signings though but I have no idea if we could do it or not and whether they would improve us or not.
Vik, we were not top of the League in the December of the 20/ 21 season.
I'm almost certain about that.
Wasn't that the season we lost VvD, Gomez and Matip to long term injuries? Then when Henderson and Fabinho covered their positions and also got injured? A freak season, really.
Expecting a club to go out and buy three top centre halves to cover for injuries is pushing it, isn't it?
14.) 16 Jan 2025 13:44:06
All this talk of signing players in January is fully dependent on one assumption that most seem to be making. that players for the positions we need cover are available and willing to move. If I'm not mistaken that's usually the first step required to sign a player. I imagine most clubs don't want to lose top players half way through the season.
15.) 16 Jan 2025 14:38:06
@Stuie and in some areas, we need people to leave first in order to bring people in. It's all part of squad management. For ex., people want new LB. Well, how are you going to do that if either one of Tsimikas (who is playing well currently) and Robbo (who is struggling) don't get sold nor want to go or if Slot needs both of them?
You can't BUT it seems this reality flies over these people's heads all the time.
12 Jan 2025 09:30:43
Is the poster Chris in Tamworth still about. Enjoy the game today mate. First time against a premier league team I think.
1.) 12 Jan 2025 12:25:27
Lads, it's Tottenham ?.
2.) 12 Jan 2025 15:44:27
As soon as I heard they were sponsored by the S*n I wanted spurs to batter them.
10 Jan 2025 10:55:55
Great Ed001 likes and wants us to sign Kvaradona so we can now rule him out ?.
1.) 10 Jan 2025 11:13:00
I ruled him out anyway, no chance Liverpool would dealing with napoli.
2.) 10 Jan 2025 11:18:41
Bye bye Nunez, hello Kvara and Osimhen! happy days ;)
3.) 10 Jan 2025 11:27:40
True that but you haven’t factored in Macca has said this which trumps everything so it’s fine
Up the pool.
4.) 10 Jan 2025 11:47:34
Kvaradonna surely more favoured than Osimhen, and surely Kvara would prefer the Prem to France.
5.) 10 Jan 2025 13:14:35
Jimmy Boy Ed001 always jinx us.
01 Jan 2025 13:19:29
If Trent does move on I don't see us spending big money on a replacement.
I'd love Frimpong but I just have a feeling we will sign someone like Walker-Peters or Lamptey to give competition to Bradley.
Both in the last 6 months of their contracts.
1.) 01 Jan 2025 14:16:54
Bradleys injury record suggests he will need solid competition, despite his excellence as a player demanding a regular start.
2.) 01 Jan 2025 14:31:11
Bradley injured too much. We’d need a proper replacement.
3.) 01 Jan 2025 14:34:29
Oh god know please not Lamptey. Very suspect all round game
Up the pool.
4.) 01 Jan 2025 15:59:24
No way they go for KWP or Lamptey.
Very average players.
5.) 01 Jan 2025 16:57:03
Frimpong is a hard pass for me, he is not good enough and especially when we have Trent and Connor at RB.
6.) 01 Jan 2025 17:13:44
Jesus, Bradley's still a kid, still growing/ hardening up for the premiership, bit early to say he's injury prone.
7.) 01 Jan 2025 17:47:00
Frimpong not good enough but Bradley is ?. My god, Bradley has never had a proper run and he’s not in Trent’s league. We need a proper replacement.
8.) 01 Jan 2025 23:19:49
Bradley has at least shown that he can fit into our system and play it well. Frimpong usually plays as a wingback with 3 CBs behind him and he is playing in a much weaker league. So at the moment, Bradley is a better player for us than Frimpong is.
9.) 02 Jan 2025 02:15:47
Bradley is quality but truth be to told he’s not had a run. Trent has down it for years and Bradley for a number of games at a time.
That’s not a dig at Bradley but just the truth.
13 Dec 2024 11:39:40
Ed001 mate, I seen you mention Marmoush is more of a long term Salah replacement. Could you see the possibility of Salah moving more centrally.
Salah's link up and hold up play has gone up another level. This then allowing a right sided player like Marmoush come in and will have the legs to help out defensively on the right side which at times Salah now struggles to cover at times. Or maybe Diaz who we have seen can move into the middle.
{Ed001's Note - it is always possible, Slot does like to move them around.}
1.) 13 Dec 2024 11:59:53
Bad news for Chiesa then. Another pointless signing. Was slot even consulted? I bet they didn’t.
2.) 13 Dec 2024 13:59:08
I don’t think mo is really that good up the middle unless his starting position is out wide, maybe he could play the number 10 but I don’t know if he could put in the miles that slot needs from his number 10, and he certainly wouldn’t suit playing a number 9 in either the slot feyenoord system, where gimenez would constantly drop deep to pick up the ball, or in the Liverpool system, where slot has the 9 making selfless runs to create space for the wide players, and where the striker doesn’t see much of the ball and has to make the most of the few chances he gets on the end of. Our entire system is really designed around having our wide players as the biggest threat and mo being our chief creator and goalscorer.
I can see marmoush being a very good 9 for us because he can drop deep, link up play with quick short exchanges, can switch with the front three to take up wide positions on occasion, works very hard off the ball and he is becoming a very good finisher in the box. He also tends to play on the left wing if he plays out wide and not on the right anyway, so I don’t know how he could replace salah.
3.) 13 Dec 2024 14:52:09
Salah isn't struggling to cover anyone. Remember mbappe loosing the ball against madrid? But maybe he'll loose it in coming years. moving mo is not that bad as he'll be more closer to goal. he shd be taking max number of shots amongst our forwards.
4.) 13 Dec 2024 17:07:10
I have been tracking Marmoush. He doesn't seemed to track back.
5.) 13 Dec 2024 18:27:42
Judging Fede before he's had a proper chance is insanity.
6.) 13 Dec 2024 18:54:30
@Lee, so I assume you didn’t have to track him very far then?
7.) 14 Dec 2024 08:37:35
That's comical, Leek being the one recently demanding that we sign Marmoush now, despite there not being a transfer window open.
04 Jan 2025 19:09:48
He should buy united, they already have a few robots at the back.
03 Jan 2025 07:57:12
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.}
15 Aug 2024 10:36:31
Thank you for quick reply.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}

It may sound crazy but it feels like I have lost a family member, I have logged in maybe 5 times a day over the past 12 years and loved to read the great man’s Ed002 updates.
Thank you Ed002 for the years of knowledge, humour and fantastic slagging “knuckle dragger” being my favourite.
RIP Ed002 ❤️.
21 Oct 2024 13:36:46
Flypelican your spot on mate, it’s just strange going from Klopps style and will just take time. And as you said I’m sure Slot will learn a lot as time goes on.
10 Oct 2024 12:26:44
JK23 im nearly sure we lost our captain and vice captain at the same time not so long ago. Hendo and Milner.

Great post Oli mate.
