Liverpool in talks to sign Chiesa.
1.) 27 Aug 2024 06:04:37
Not at all bad.
He can be very good competition to Salah if he stays injury free. He can even take his position if Salah decides to go.
Surprised no one has taken him at such low asking pricing. Not sure how much he would cost in wages.
Looks very very good player capable of using both legs to shoot.
2.) 27 Aug 2024 07:07:45
Still having flashbacks to Aqualani with all the inj.
3.) 27 Aug 2024 08:17:38
Surprised at this TBH. Italian players in the premier league have - generally - struggled. Not an I convinced we need a forward player at this point. Happy to be proved wrong.
4.) 27 Aug 2024 08:50:54
Just like Arthur Melo injury prone.
5.) 27 Aug 2024 09:16:08
Made 33 appearances last season, nothing like arthur melo.
6.) 27 Aug 2024 09:16:36
No more injury prone than Neto who many were championing on here, at a quarter of the price.
7.) 27 Aug 2024 09:27:43
We have only made an enquiry for Chiesa and judging by how long it has taken us to sign the goalkeeper, I cannot imagine us getting this sorted within 4 days.
Plus he has just given Barcelona a deadline of 24 hours … so many ifs and buts around this link.
Other news, my prospect for breakthrough player of the year, Owen Beck, has just secured a loan move to Blackburn. Would have liked to see him given a chance ahead of Tsimikas this year, after his solid season for Dundee.
8.) 27 Aug 2024 09:39:36
I'm not sure on this one tbh. I think he's a good player but is he an upgrade on what we have on LW? I don't think so. I'd rather have Diaz or Gakpo playing there and if we were going to sign someone on the left I'd actually prefer Gordon as he at least as premier league experience and even then I'm still not sure we need him unless Luis is off?
I'm much rather we get the bloody contracts sorted and get Inacio in if it's possible!
9.) 27 Aug 2024 06:37:52
Am I right in assuming we are to sign Cheisa then we would have used up our non HG quota? Last I saw from Ed’s that would be the case?
{Ed002's Note - YYes.}
10.) 27 Aug 2024 09:59:00
Quite a bit of Negativity towards the possibility of us
Going after Chiesa concerning his many injury worries.
He missed around 10 games last season and played 30 plus games? So for a reported £12-£14M surly he is worth taking a gamble on as when playing well he is so difficult to stop and personally a great player to have in a squad to back up Salah!
YNWA my fellow kopites.
11.) 27 Aug 2024 10:05:20
Penny market shopping is not the statement of intent I'd be looking for. I'd prefer no buys and see what tune Slot pulls out of our lads until the next window.
12.) 27 Aug 2024 10:11:27
Is Chiesa not off to Barca?

Liverpool planning to send stefan bajcetic out on loan for a season.
1.) 09 Aug 2024 20:35:03
Where’s this from mate? If it’s a well thought out loan I’ll be delighted. Was hoping to see him get some games for us this year. Really hopeful for him now that he’s stopped growing. But if we have people coming in then a year away could be the final piece in the making of him.
2.) 09 Aug 2024 20:45:43
Making space for Zubimendi.
3.) 10 Aug 2024 11:43:53
Baj needs games cos that long injury layoff has definitely set him back a lot, IMO. If a loan is what it will take then, so be it.
18 Jun 2024 13:09:32
Liverpool have enquired about Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori.
1.) 18 Jun 2024 15:11:29
I imagine a lot of clubs have enquired about him. He's an exceptionally talented young man. I just can't see him leaving Italy. The big clubs will be knocking the door down going after the young lad. He may be a new Maldini or Nesta, and I see him becoming a long term player for one of those big Italian clubs.
2.) 18 Jun 2024 15:22:14
Excellent player, but I suspect Bologna aren’t at all interested in selling, they’d probably let go of lucumi before they even think about selling calafiori (lucumi is pretty decent himself)
3.) 18 Jun 2024 18:25:51
Next Maldini? I’m not saying you’re wrong and maybe this is just ignorance on my behalf, but I hadn’t even heard of him last week ?.
4.) 18 Jun 2024 18:44:33
My wife is from Bologna so they are second in my heart to LFC. He's a very good left-footed player who can play center back and left back so it makes sense. Bologna made the champions League for the first time in decades so I don't know if they'll be Keen to get rid of too many players Even though they can make a hell of a profit.
5.) 18 Jun 2024 18:58:09
They have some very good players to be fair, pity thiago motta has jumped ship to juve who looked a far inferior team for most of the season, I think zirkzee is a brilliant player who looks like he can play the Bobby role to perfection, he’ll probably be the most likely to leave this summer I imagine, Lewis Ferguson also looks very decent, I would say calafiori looks the best of the lot though and was great for Italy the other night.
6.) 18 Jun 2024 19:01:43
I can see us going big for a defender. Konate has regressed massively. Van Dijk getting on a bit. We look short at the back, we might even get 2 CB’s.
7.) 18 Jun 2024 20:01:21
He's destined for Juventus. perhaps in the 25/ 26 season.
8.) 19 Jun 2024 06:59:22
Really not getting the hate towards Konate, it seems there always has to be a kicking boy with fans.
9.) 19 Jun 2024 09:10:55
Became a much worse footballer over the last 2 months apparently. forget that upto that point he was often holding our whole right side together with trent upfield.
10.) 19 Jun 2024 10:25:05
Exactly June, seems there always has to be a scapegoat for sum to justify bringing in new players.
11.) 19 Jun 2024 10:59:14
Depends how you look at it I suppose. If your happy with Konate then you’ll be hoping we don’t sign a replacement ??
Then on the other hand there’s some supporters who think he’s constantly injured and has regressed so much he’s fell behind Quansah and we need to sign a CB. Let’s see what Slot does.
12.) 19 Jun 2024 11:50:46
Rather than express an opinion I will just settle for a fact.
Of the 38,38 and 38 league matches since he signed he has started 11,17 and 17.
Why don't people listen to Klopp who has already stated that Konate finds it almost impossible to play two matches in a week.
13.) 19 Jun 2024 13:11:20
He's regressed or he's injury prone. which is it? everyone realises his injuries but when he's been fit and on the pitch he's been mostly superb again this season.
14.) 19 Jun 2024 13:22:58
No they haven't. He is a very good player who I think would be suited but trust me when I say as of right now Liverpool have not contacted bologna.
15.) 19 Jun 2024 21:01:52
Spot on, June. Which is it? A player being injury-prone does not remove the fact that you are a very good player. That's not how football works. Konate when fit and firing, is a handful for any CF. Man got MOTM in a CL final and bissed Saliba on his own patch in the FA Cup tie while shutting down Martinelli who is as pacy as they come so ain't having that, mate.
IMO, He has the lot and him struggling towards the end of the season (you know, like the whole tealm and manager did BUT who cares, right? ) doesn't take away from his footballing ability. Just my opinion.
{Ed025's Note - hes ok Oli but nothing more, DCL made a holy show of him mate so if you are going to point out forwards who he has done well against dont forget the ones who have torn him a new one..
09 Feb 2024 10:08:50
Salah back in first team training.
1.) 09 Feb 2024 12:37:55
Just possibly the first thing you've got right.
2.) 09 Feb 2024 13:01:04

L5 gets hammered by everyone and ed2 every time he posts tbf!
{Ed002's Note - He is trolling the site.}
4.) 09 Feb 2024 20:22:21
Unless you say where the rumour is from it is likely, in the sceptical world we live in, that people would arrive at the conclusion it’s just someone making stuff up to provoke a response.
5.) 09 Feb 2024 22:48:17
And I'm passing comment on it, as you would on a rumours site.
The point remains valid.
6.) 09 Feb 2024 23:25:05
Salah is due back training next week. Szob is back but just running on the grass.
7.) 10 Feb 2024 02:26:59
I’d put my money on Ed002 being right, personally!
8.) 10 Feb 2024 07:22:37
I would say ed2 is right as well!
9.) 11 Feb 2024 10:13:55
Give L5 a break, there are far worse opinionated posters on this site who talk BS! I wouldn't class him as a troll either, just because I disagree with Ed002 on this doesn't mean I don't appreciate his work on this site.
07 Feb 2024 12:14:31
Liverpool want Toney in the summer, apparently a vast amount of funds are available and will be available to invest in the squad.
1.) 07 Feb 2024 12:50:13
Surely not. Good player but the only reason we would need another forward is if Salah moves on which would mean bringing in a LW or a very versatile forward.
{Ed002's Note - No, he is simply trolling the site again.}
2.) 07 Feb 2024 13:02:03
I wouldn't bet on it. He might though ?.
3.) 07 Feb 2024 20:31:50
Toney is not coming to Liverpool. Nothing to see here move along.
4.) 09 Feb 2024 21:05:26
Steve Cooper is available.
5.) 09 Feb 2024 23:37:58
Toney would probably move to another London club, close to his friend Paddy Power.
6.) 09 Feb 2024 23:39:36
Steve cooper instead of Toney? I’m really confused but love the craic.

1.) 30 Aug 2024 14:10:11
The top image is a bit misleading because we did also have Sterling, Coutinho, Sturridge, Sinclair, Ibe, Lallana and Markovic that season!
Sterling, Lallana and Coutinho were the only ones worth their salt at that point in time though. Balotelli and Sturridge were all past their best by then, and the others were all simply not good enough for Liverpool sadly. Lallana, Sterling and Coutinho were an average front 3 at best though in Rodgers 3-4-3/ 4-3-3 that season. It lacked pace and goals.
I'm so thankful to now have an elite level strike force. When they're all in form, I'm not even sure who is the best trio. That's Slot's headache though, we just get to enjoy them!

1.) 29 Aug 2024 18:47:51
Is right we’ve signed bane.
29 Aug 2023 10:10:37
Looking like Liverpool will try and finalise Gravenberch and Hincapié before the window shuts.
1.) 29 Aug 2023 10:56:47
Not dead against this. However, not sure what the plan for Gravenberch would be. Will he be a starter at no6? Has he got a duel winning mentality? He's got the physical attributes but there have to be concerns about his attitude if he's not happy at a club like Bayern, who have had their own midfield issues of late.
Hincapie is an interesting one. Will cost a lot. He would be a full commitment to the new system. He's u21 so wouldn't take up a non-HG spot this season. Presumably that would give Tsimikas the signal to move on.
Add Andre in January, then I'd say that is a decent recovery of the window.
We'd still need a RCB at some point but I am sure we can look at that later.
2.) 29 Aug 2023 11:27:20
I think Gravenberch would be a real asset as a ‘general’ midfielder, although I would have preferred another DCM over the general midfielder.
Would be pleased of Hincapie were to sign.
3.) 29 Aug 2023 11:40:36
Gravenberch would be the Gini/ milner replacement, told to play where and when he's needed in midfield.
4.) 29 Aug 2023 11:43:16
He kicked off and whined about being on the bench at Bayern, he’ll do the same here.
5.) 29 Aug 2023 11:47:43
I would be happy if tis were true. I suspect that they would be replacements for Thiago and Matip who are highly unlikely to remain at the club beyond this season. These 2 could then take their non-HG spots as required.
The other option would be like you said to move Tsimikas on and then we can do a deal with Rennes and swap Matip for Theate.
6.) 29 Aug 2023 11:52:09
Who are we selling in order to register both of them?
7.) 29 Aug 2023 12:00:43
Viktor, he was 5th choice at Bayern, he'd be rotated every game, and would get mins in Europe and the league cups etc, plenty of games.
8.) 29 Aug 2023 12:00:54
ShipleyKopite, I think Thiago's replace could be Andre come Jan should he sign. But you could be right as well with Gravenberch.
9.) 29 Aug 2023 12:07:27
What is your source L5 - have you heard something or what you think will happen pal?
10.) 29 Aug 2023 12:12:48
We’ve wasted another week and a half since we signed Endo. Transfer window is due to shut in a few days so we better get moving or we will get stuck trying to overpay as teams won’t be able to replace players they are losing. We defs need someone to compete with Endo in the middle and another CB/ LB.
11.) 29 Aug 2023 12:39:19
Something Red - they would both count as u21 for this season, so no impact immediately.
12.) 29 Aug 2023 12:39:19
Calm down we have enough cover at least to take us to Jan. helps that we only actually need 10 on the pitch at any one time of course ???.
13.) 29 Aug 2023 13:29:27
@OliRed- I hope you're right. I'd love to see us sign Andre in Jan.
14.) 29 Aug 2023 14:12:04
@Victir, always love the positivity that radiates from your contributions. Keep up the good work.
15.) 29 Aug 2023 15:24:51
Brummyred, wasted a week? You think transfers are the same as ordering stuff on Amazon or Zalando or what? IMO, I don't think we are as desperate as you think nor will we be forced to overpay if we don't need to.
And I don't believe we will overpay for anyone cos whether you or I like it or not, Endo is here at DM with Baj as his back up who is now back from injury and so is Thiago and Jones so if any team thinks we are desperate then, they have another thing coming, IMO.
21 Aug 2023 16:09:59
Gravenberch seems to be done.
1.) 21 Aug 2023 17:26:57
L5 no he isn’t. Not sure where you’re getting this from or just trying your luck as Ed002 has explained our interest.
2.) 21 Aug 2023 18:15:39
OP, I haven't seen that anywhere at the moment. You got a link we can check?

He's was one of 3 that Liverpool are looking into, but yeah, he can be ruled out now.

Bait? What do i have to gain from sharing? Will be my last anyway.
21 Jan 2024 14:26:30
The objective for next season is to have that, regardless of salah staying or going. Salah is the key to Klopps Liverpool team, he's not as expendable as some people think.
25 Jan 2024 15:00:56
Definitely has it in his locker, scores some rockets in training.
17 Jan 2024 11:41:20
No significant players are available in January, shouldn't be a winter transfer window in my opinion anyway.
14 Jan 2024 22:33:04
All I'm saying is they have been very clear they don't intend to bring anyone in this window, and they usually don't in January with a few exceptions when timing and opportunity was right, I have no idea on finalised targets but I do know that they have been looking at options in the defensive areas of the team, a center back and midfielder are the top of the list, their main priority in attack is to offer salah another contract extension and players are being looked at in case that doesn't happen.
13 Jan 2024 13:45:57
Reading my reply again, I sounded like a right b*****, not my intention, I simply mean Liverpool don't work like that, they don't keep transfers a secret and then surprise everyone, they simply work on players they like every day, they're constantly looking at the market, and if a player they like becomes available, at the right price, they will go for it, none of the players they are looking at are available in January, so I'd quite simply say I'm 99.9% sure there won't be any made this window.
13 Jan 2024 11:11:31
My reply wasn't Inteded with venom, apologies on my behalf.
