Ed’s,
Can we not beat around the bush. The likes Chelsea signing these potential world class players and now city closing in on Torres which in my eyes looks a great prospect, what do you really see Liverpool doing? We do need a striker and a CB, I’m not trying to waste your time but your the one with knowledge, what do you guys expect?
{Ed002's Note - Manchester City and Chelsea are in a very different place to Liverpool financially. If Liverpool want to add a striker then they should make use of Brewster.}
1.) 29 Jul 2020 20:25:03
Its nice to have a bench that looks scary on paper. that's what city and Chelsea will have and fair play its lovely options to have but let's not forget which team ran away with the league with just under a quarter of the season left. Remember that same team that ran away with it had so many narrow wins where we squandered chances. We don't really need to buy and we can't. We didn't buy much last year and tore the league up.
2.) 29 Jul 2020 21:21:15
Yes we ran away with the league this season but we walked away from the fa and carling cup. We were also stuffed in the cl and because we did not have a squad deep enough in quality. If your a team that's happy winning o e trophy a season that's great but you cannot put all your eggs in one or two baskets. The squad needs more first team quality and a good manager deals with expectations of players.
3.) 29 Jul 2020 21:34:53
It’s best not to worry too much about what other teams are doing. So Citeh will continue to buy and they will likely be a lot closer next year. Chelsea appear to be doing some tidy business, even though it’s there defence that needs an overhaul. Man U will no doubt spaff a fortune on who knows who, but they will still have the most unconvincing manager around. I honestly think we have got a bit of a winning formula right now, right through the club and I’d rather have that then a shed load of dosh to spend, which won’t guarantee success (we should now that all too well) . Only time will tell, but right now just keep on enjoying where we are right now, Champions!
4.) 29 Jul 2020 22:03:02
One trophy a year would be absolutely fine if its the league. The integrity in football is so slim anyway, winning a 38 game season is so the most satisfiying for me and a most convincing reflection of true footballing ability. We have already had 2 CL finals in a row without a shred of referee bias helping and some magical memorable ties to treasure, we really have been spoiled so far under Klopp. Would love to see hendo lift that fa cup as well though.
5.) 29 Jul 2020 22:17:58
Rarely post on here, but love to read. However, the number of posts on here about how we are falling behind the pack is simply absurd. At the worst, the very worst, we'll finish 2nd by a handful of points. Most likely, we'll win the league again by a much smaller margin. Teams around us are spending money to catch up, City are in a particularly odd situation with silva retiring, Aguero ageing and concerns around the fitness of Laporte and mendy. if Laporte had been fit all season it would have been far closer. So City have to spend. Chelsea have done amazingly well under lampard, but likewise, ageing squad, some key players potentially moving on, they have to spend. Utd, won't spend as much as people think, they've moved on a lot this season, although where Fernandes can maintain that form remains to be seen. however, he's a talent. Spurs will spend a net total of 2 quid but do better than last year, because how can they not. It's not we are falling behind, it's that they are catching up. We all complain about not using youngsters, yet, when we have an excellent first 11 ( maybe even 15) people want to spend money on players that won't necessarily start. Breathe out dudes, we are ok! YNWA.
6.) 29 Jul 2020 22:21:30
Brewster scored a good poachers goal tonight against Brentford. But we do not play like that, and like Ings some other team will get the full benefit out of him. He is not a Firmino type player. Shoot me down as much as you like but. Jiminez is as good as Firmino.
7.) 29 Jul 2020 23:26:35
Sorry mate but how the f**** can you say Jiminez is better then Firmino! They are totally different players? Ones an out and out striker the other is CF with every capabilities! (Other then scoring) Firmino means more our team they anyone! Frankly we wouldn’t of won the league without him.
8.) 30 Jul 2020 06:02:03
He said as good as, however I don't think you can compare them at all.
9.) 30 Jul 2020 06:46:10
Liverpool 12350 bang on, you cannot compare Jimenez and Firmino, totally different players both are excellent.
As for Brewster being more of a poacher, and not suited to our/ Klopps style, that is ridiculous. The boy is a poacher, has scored worldwide free kicks, believe he has nodded a couple home in his short time at Swansea, he has scored 11 goals since his move, an excellent return and shows he is quick to adapt.
I’m told he wants another season at Swansea to build his fitness and to maintain regular playing time, I and for one think that is the right thing to do. This boy is going to be big time, and god knows we need a predatory striker type, haven’t had one since Torres.
10.) 30 Jul 2020 07:04:54
Wish people would stop asking same question! Think I've read Liverpool has no money 2567 times in past few weeks! Ed002 isn't going to suddenly change his response! We're obviously trying moving on players to get some money in. And reduce the wage bill. Lallana, Clyne and Lovren have gone so far. So that's a good start. Hopefully once a few more leave. We will then be able to add a few. But Havertz, Sancho etc are out of the question!
11.) 30 Jul 2020 08:06:39
It will cost us not buying players next season! You can start to see the squad needs a little refresher. For me a CB is a must.
I can't get my head around the fact we have no money. You will see the likes of west ham blow 70m on 3 crap players but we can't seem to afford an akinfenwa.
Minamino is all we bought last year and that was for peanuts. our net spend over the last 5 years isn't as high as youd imagine. On the back of 3 successful years and a new kit sponsor.
12.) 30 Jul 2020 08:08:09
Liverpool will make some additions this summer, they will be well thought out and planned and hopefully add to our squad or first team. The teams below us have a lot of ground to make up but more importantly do you think Arteta, Lampard and Ole have the managerial capacity to raise their teams?
Pep and Jose are a different category of manager who have shown that yes given money they can make players they buy better players. What evidence have we seen from Ole, Arteta and Lampard in this regard, like someone said worst case scenario is being second.
13.) 30 Jul 2020 10:51:58
Brewster had a 1 in 2 goal return while at Swansea if you ask me that’s pretty impressive way more impressive than Harry Kane’s return while he was away on loan at a similar age (I know they are different types of striker) so I think he deserves a chance getting the goals he got in the championship is no mean feat l. I say he deserves a chance as does Jones and Williams I’m sure a couple of fringe players will leave and if we can get a top CB then I don’t think there will be anyone who can touch us again next season imagine if Trent had not been given a chance, I would love a player like Havertz but what’s to say we don’t already have a world class player in our ranks waiting for his chance. If we can’t spend money then so be it at the end of the day we have class all over the pitch and some really exciting youngsters ready to snap up any chances they get.
14.) 30 Jul 2020 14:07:54
I've only seen highlights of Swansea, but even in those it looks like Brewster has more to his game than just goal poaching. Aside from his 30 yard screamer a couple of weeks back, he seems to alternate dropping in the no. 10 position with Ayew quite a bit during their build up. I reckon he has much more scope for adapting to the Firmino role than Origi.
If Swansea had gone up, the easy choice would've been to loan him there for another season for regular football, and in the Premier League this time too. But with that not happening, the decision's a little more complicated.
Ideally I'd like to keep him here because I think he has enough quality to benefit us from next season, but will he play enough? He'll need more than the League Cup and 20 minute sub apps in the league. Plus he'll be competing with Minamino for rotation and sub duty. I don't want to loan him back to the Championship though, I'd like to see what he can do in the PL. But will another PL team take him and use him?
15.) 30 Jul 2020 18:14:46
I love the fact someone is ready to bin off Brewster.
Got some rubbish fans us.
16.) 31 Jul 2020 04:48:56
City are replacing Kompany and David Silva, two of the best EPL players ever, with Nathan Ake and Ferran Torres.
Not sure there is any need to start quaking in the boots.
Just because you are spending money doesn't mean you are improving anything.
23 Apr 2020 17:26:55
Sorry Ed’s I know it’s been mentioned a lot! But sky sports are reporting that Werner is ready to join Liverpool, but Liverpool don’t want to pay the release clause before it expires? Can you shed a light in it please :)
Thanks stay safe.
{Ed002's Note - The "release clause" is not of any direct relevance to Liverpool. However ready Werner is, Liverpool have not made any approach to his club.}
1.) 23 Apr 2020 18:18:30
So if the release clause is €50m (Or what ever) after the expiry date does it not go up to a higher price? I’m sorry if I’m sounding thick here Ed’s But if lfc are interested would it not make sense going for him before the expiry date? Are we missing Sumthn?
{Ed002's Note - The release clause is of no relevance to Liverpool. I imagine after all of the damage done that perhaps Liverpool will go in with a low offer.}
2.) 23 Apr 2020 18:43:13
That would be crap if we went in low Ed after the way we’ve gone about this. I do hope we get him though.
3.) 23 Apr 2020 20:32:29
I wouldn’t worry, I don’t think we’re in for Werner, if reports are correct, he wants assurances over playing time. Pulisic wanted the same and lucky for us, with him signing for Chelsea - we dodged a bullet.
4.) 24 Apr 2020 09:18:53
I don't get the story tbh,
It states that if we bid for the player then we will get him.
But isn't that how transfers work? Player A has an interest at moving to a club but itll only happen if the club also want him and stump up the cash.
It just strikes me as a slow news day with a misleading headline.
I also don't think its smart for any club to publicly purchase a player in the 'millions' when they have complained about finances. Although I appreciate club finances and transfers are complicated on the face of it it wouldn't look great from a public image standpoint.
5.) 24 Apr 2020 10:12:14
If he comes to England, it looks like a shoot-out between us and Chelsea as his destination. I like him and think he’d be a very good addition. It would give really strong options for the front three rotation with Minamino and Origi too.
Shaqiri will leave and it looks tough for Brewster also.
6.) 24 Apr 2020 10:21:26
What have liverpool actually done in relation to Werner?
7.) 24 Apr 2020 10:46:19
Liverbird it’s been explained by Ed002 mate several times. We have made contact without the consent of his club RBL. If you read up it’s all there in the posts.
8.) 24 Apr 2020 11:52:39
Thanks dare to dream!
9.) 24 Apr 2020 14:41:42
Just searched DTD, it’s a shame that we have, I like Werner but we should act in the right way to get him.
10.) 24 Apr 2020 18:55:54
No problem Liverbird. I agree WYred, I don’t agree with how we’ve gone about it but there is no doubting he is quality and he improves us.
11.) 25 Apr 2020 17:46:17
I don't think the club want to be seen paying 60 million for a player weeks after trying to put their staff on the government payroll.
Or any club for that matter.
So I would not hold your breath waiting for Werner.
As Woodward said, the world has changed. I think this will be a very slow summer for transfers.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool are not a club who care for such matters.}
12.) 25 Apr 2020 20:23:14
What matter if I may ask, Ed002?
{Ed002's Note - The first sentence.}
07 Apr 2020 09:13:55
Any interest in Milot Rashica? Just seen a few reports! Also do you think Werner and Carlos will join us?
Thanks!
{Ed002's Note - Milot Rashica (LW/RW) another possible Jadon Sancho replacement or indeed a Leroy Sane option and there is interest from both Borussia Dortmund, RBL and Bayern Munich. Werder Bremen don't want to sell (but could be relegated). Rashica plays predominently on the left, like several of the many Sancho replacements, but is seen as versatile. Dortmund are looking at a number of possible Sancho replacements that they have identified and others also play predominently on the left. I am not aware of any approach from Liverpool to Werder Bremen nor any declaration of interest from his agent or lawyer but it would be interesting if their were and I would not rule it out. He would certainly provide good cover for Mane and work as a replacement for Shakiri - game time might be of concern to the player.
Timo Werner (S) RBL know of the interest of Chelsea who consider TW as a suitable replacement for Giroud - but they have other preferred options. Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid remain keen - but this could change quickly depending on other targets clubs have - equally if other clubs were not able to sign their targets, interest in TW might increase. Atletico signing Cavani would likely kill off their interest and they have financial issues. There is clearly interest from Klopp, but would Timo Werner be interested in a move to sit on the bench at Liverpool most of the time? If the answer is yes, or if Firmino is leaving then it makes sense. Many of the fans expect Klopp to add all of these players without anyone leaving and then completely change tactics and rotate them - it makes zero sense and the club has to meet Home Grown quotas as well. PSG are concerned about being shunned by Icardi and have looked at TW but have not declared any interest. Mr Mourinho is keen for Spurs to take him but there are concerns about the cost. The interest of Dortmund has gone with the signing of Haarland - but could return in the summer if Real Madrid could prise Haaland away. Bayern Munich were never going to do business in January and played down all transfer talk but there is no doubt that Robert Lewandowski, who will be 32 at the start of next season, is going to need replacing in the next 18 months - and the plan had always been that it would be Timo Werner - they could yet look to do something or perhaps suggest he waits another year at RBL who have offered a new contract. Last summer there was an approach from PSG who wanted Werner as a Cavani replacement - in the end Cavani stayed and they took Icardi on loan. The player has always said he wants to play for Manchester United one day but a move last summer was not possible and then Werner said he wanted tp play for Bayern Munich over all others. Now after a potential illegal approach he clearly wants to join Liverpool - the riot act has been read to him over public statements. There was a third party trying to negotiate for a BM move last summer but they were a long way apart on price and RBL looked to extend. As BM were expected to need Werner this coming summer, a release clause was agreed with his new contract that would make him available at a low fee so RBL would keep him another year and then he could move to Bayern Munich this summer.
Diego Carlos (CB) Manchester City have dropped their interest and are looking at others. Real Madrid has a sustained interest but the focus will be getting a priority signing done first, seeing what funds can be raised and then returning for DC. Barcelona have him on their list of CBs but money is going to be an issue this sommer and they will look to horse trade - but are now in talks with the club of another player. Priority is, like Real Madrid and get their priority transfer completed and then see where they are. Liverpool has declared an interest in taking DC in the summer. If this happens, I would think it would be the big move for the club this summer and would leave Gomez picking up pieces across the defence. May be viable for Liverpool to include Xherdan Shaqiri in a deal.}
12 Dec 2019 10:11:18
Sky sports are saying we are interested in signing milamino in jan for 7.25m.
1.) 12 Dec 2019 12:56:18
When I YouTubed Halaand I was more impressed with this guy. Looks a player.
25 Sep 2019 08:02:12
Ed’s,
If Salah we’re to leave, would we look at the likes of Sancho?
Or do you know any targets.
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - I expect one would be Federico Chiesa (RW/LW/F) but there significant interest from elsewhere and Fiorentina are planning on pricing him out of a move (at something like €120M). Liverpool has shown no interest, but if they do it would be as a Salah replacement - Klopp likes him I understand.}
1.) 25 Sep 2019 10:39:18
I'm not convinced Chiesa would be great for us and would prefer us to look at David Neres.
2.) 25 Sep 2019 12:17:59
Its fine klopp has been spot on 90%+ times in transfer signings for us so i trust him.
3.) 25 Sep 2019 21:46:32
Neres for salah? Jesus Christ!
4.) 25 Sep 2019 22:12:57
Sancho, Yes Definitely but he'd be very expensive. But so would Salah leaving. So it'd maybe even out.
Neres is not the same level by a country mile.
At the moment, the only two players I see as being able to replace Salah are Sancho or Mbappe, but it's crazy how fast the up and coming players come into stardom. It'll likely be someone we haven't heard of yet.
5.) 25 Sep 2019 23:06:45
I'd look at a few others like Justin Kluivert and Leon Bailey. Even an Ousmane Dembele may not that be bad if he's taken away from that Barcelona pressure cooker and Klopp is allowed to work on him.
6.) 26 Sep 2019 16:50:15
As unlikely as it would be,
If Salah was to leave I would hope we would enquire around Mbappe.
7.) 26 Sep 2019 17:18:43
Ed002, has Salah it his agent made any more noises about leaving since start of season? Madrid ship has sailed as they’ve bought numerous players in. If he were to leave there isn’t many players on his level to replace him imo. Insigne isn’t his level not sure about Chiesa. Any others you think might fit the bill if the unthinkable happened?
{Ed002's Note - l Madrid’s plans are to buy for Salah’s position next summer and his agent will continue to push but they want Mbappe. As I have said before, Klipperty likes both players but Insigne would be a Mane replacement, not Salah.}
8.) 26 Sep 2019 19:34:40
"Unthinkable"? He's going to leave at some point, and if he doesn't, he'll get old and lose his pace anyway.
I think that Salah relies more on his pace than Mane does. I think that Sadio would be able to adapt his play as he starts to notice his pace deteriorating.
Also, let's say Salah gives us 2 more years. Who's to say that Elliott won't be up to the task by then?
9.) 26 Sep 2019 20:08:51
Is chiesa not right footed.
10.) 27 Sep 2019 15:39:09
Even if Salah stays two more years Elliot will still only be 18. So a direct replacement would be required. ArAy1969 you named 3 players who predominantly play on the left so they'd be unlikely. Sancho would be my first pick and Chiesea my second. Our first ever Italian success story?
11.) 04 Oct 2019 09:11:09
Reynard, I am actually in agreement with the opposite of your point. I think Federico Chiesa is actually better than David Neres and he would be my pick for Klopp to sign. Neres to me, is a bit of hit and miss and can go missing during games, like he did during the Copa America where he got benched after two games for poor play and Everton took his place.
You cannot say that about Federico Chiesa. The guys is brilliant and can play on either side and with either foot, just like his brilliant dad Enrico Chiesa once did, terrorizing the whole of Serie A and Europe while at Parma (with strike partner Hernan Crespo) in his pomp in the 90's. CHiesa would be my preference BUT if Klopp wants Neres then I'm all for it.

Do you know what annoys me? I have an Argument with people for no reason about Liverpool transfer dealings because they know nothing about this site. Someone said we could afford Sancho, I said what you said because I trust you guys. It makes me looks stupid! But do I care? No!

Football Manager and FIFA have distorted people’s views of finances in the real world.
{Ed001's Note - very much so. I have lost count of the number of times someone has said about signing someone on FM or FIFA so why couldn't we do the same? And it is across all the sites I have seen it. Just makes you put your head in your hands and want to give up.}
3.) 30 Jul 2020 11:35:40
OP, u font know the half of it. You should go on LFC fan channels where they talk about transfers and listen to the complete fantasies thes guys come up with regarding transfers and how FSG are not ready to spend money on “insert player here†that they want. It is a madness.
And even when someone phones in and tells them stuff that the Ed’s tell us here, they still won’t believe you cos as Ed said, they Seoul rather believe the voices and fantasies in their own heads than true reality cos it fits their narrative.
Hence, I will b forever grateful for all the good work the Ed’s do on here to inform us of what happens behind the scenes cos if not, I would be just like these one here kicking off based on complete fantasies.

03 Jul 2020 12:07:00
I think from the performance last night and how well KDB played, We need a creative midfielder and another CB.
Ed’s thoughts?
1.) 03 Jul 2020 12:44:26
I don't think we have a midfielder who isn't creative. It's just they can all do more than just play cute passes. I mean, look at fabs performance vs Palace. Made 100 tackles. Scored a screamer and played a ball Kdb would be proud of to set up mo salah.
This happens whenever Liverpool don't win. People start saying how we need this and we need that. We just won the league with 7/ 8 games to go!
2.) 03 Jul 2020 13:46:22
With you there, Robbie. Same old crap every time we lose (yeah all 8 times in near 3 seasons) . It never ends and never stops. OP, City played with two sitting midfielders in Rodri and Gundogan, something they NEVER do under Pep. This allowed KDB a free role to maraud and find space. We did not do enuff to limit him and stifle him enuff. Oh n by the way in games like this, goals change games. We could have been at least a goal up if not two BUT we hit the post and missed another guilt-edged chance.
On the other hand, City have no shots on target in the first 25 mins for City, mind you. City get ticky-tack penalty, we lose our heads and it all goes downhill from there. City played a great game. We played poorly all over the shop. We take the lessons, improve and move on. That's it, IMO.
3.) 03 Jul 2020 13:58:10
We need a spark in that midfield sometimes it's too pedestrian and predictable .
4.) 03 Jul 2020 14:03:47
Last night for me was a meaningless game but the performance and attitudes were very poor. I appreciate we had nothing to play for and the lads have been celebrating but for first 20 mins we were competing so it must mean either hangovers only kicked in for the last 70 mins or players kind of wrapped in. Not going just off last night but all season I think we need an upgrade on Origi. I like Origi and he’s had some magic moments for us but those 6-7 moments just paper over the cracks of his actual LFC career. Bobby has been very much up and down this season and hasn’t come back from lockdown and when he’s off the boil it very much shows. Again not just off last night but I agree we need more of an attacking threat from midfield. Our midfielders are work horses but the fact that VVD is our fourth highest scorer this season behind the front 3 shows how much we miss goals from midfield. Only my opinion.
5.) 03 Jul 2020 14:22:38
It feels like people have had to wait 32 games this season to say that. We’re on track for 180+ points in 2 prem seasons. That is absolutely sensational.
6.) 03 Jul 2020 14:24:24
That KDB lad is the proper business lol. If klopp decided to stick fabinho on him and mark him out the game he would of been less effective but that's a mourinho tactic and not a klopp tactic and I know who I'd rather have has our manager. Had we scored first the game wouldn't of went that way. Playing city vs us is always going to be a tight win or a lasting never a dull game.
I hope that battering last night will make teams try to play us more openly and it should P off the squad so they never play that poorly again.
7.) 03 Jul 2020 14:35:14
On a separate note I’d like to see Klopp now use these last 6 games as a make or break, sink or swim opportunity for a number of our players. Give a number of them (Jones, Elliot, Origi, minamino, Shaq, Kieta, Ox etc) maximum game time and let them stake their claim for next season. Give Klopp an idea then of what he needs to do in the summer and whether these players are what we need in the squad going forward.
8.) 03 Jul 2020 15:20:44
JK23, I thought Naby has greatly improved post lockdown and the Williams kid seems to be the real deal.
For me, the game meant nothing BUT it was def a game we wanted to win and we definitely did not play anywhere near well enuff to even get a point. This is not so much a wake up call BUT just a reminder of how tight things can be n how quickly things can get from good to bad in a flash.
This is a reminder that we must always play with a chip on our shoulder. Never get comfortable and Never settle for anything remotely less than the standards set for ourselves. If we take the right lessons from this performance then, we will be better for it, I am sure.

Red Meister I don’t think we can make a call on Naby just yet mate. I thought he was our best player for 60 mins in a terrible derby and he only had around 8 mins v palace and was ok ish last night. I’d like to see him get a few 90 minutes under his belt these last 6 games. I’m sure I read he’s only completed 90 mins for us around 3 times in the 2 seasons he’s been here. Williams is another that I’d like to see more of. For me it doesn’t matter what the results are these next 6 games we need to test this squad out as we’ve depended on the starting 11 for far to long. I know we want to go for some records but for me who cares. It doesn’t matter if you’re the best or worst ever premier league champions at the end of the day you still get the same premier league trophy. And regardless of what results we get now until end of the season no one can take that title away from us.

The loss against man city doesn't matter, what will is our performance in the next game.
11.) 03 Jul 2020 18:58:54
JK, I have not made a call on Naby either cos he still has a long way to go to prove his worth at LFC esp. on his long term fitness which is what is stifling him now, IMO.
I can understand why you want Klopp to use these game to check and make a definite choice on some frineg players/ youngsters as to who we keep and who goes> I just don't feel Klopp is inclined to do that. IMO, he may want to keep the intensity and competitive levels up and if we do that and perform at 100% then if we win and get the points record then, so be it.
Now I know for a fact now that after the shambles we saw last night, you can forget about Klopp giving players the day off esp. for the Villa game. Klopp was also irritated after the game and it DID matter to them and if you know anything about Klopp's history with us after we lose esp. like this, Look out Villa.
12.) 03 Jul 2020 19:13:30
I'm more than happy with this team, I just want us to sign another top CB.
13.) 03 Jul 2020 19:57:11
Agreed Salah, good shout.
Diego Carlos please Mr Klopp, although I would love to offload Keita who would do well to hold down a starting place in a Championship side and that’s if he wasn’t injured, and bring in a midfielder, maybe Brandt who Jurgen seems to like.
14.) 03 Jul 2020 20:25:54
Red Meister I think you’re right there. Klopp will want to win every game but with 3 games in 6 days I can’t see us starting our first choice 11 in each one. We could actually get a step ahead of our competition by resting key players for the start of next season. Other teams have to play full strength teams as they Still have something to play for. Risking player burn out to chase a points record the end doesn’t justify the means for me. And when I say burnout I don’t mean now (I know everyone had a few months off) I mean the burnout every team and player risks next season from literally going back to back seasons because as soon as this one ends next is straight on top of us.
15.) 04 Jul 2020 01:00:29
What! Keita would struggle in the championship? That is probably the most ridiculous post I've ever seen written on this site. Yoy are probably the only person in the universe to think this.
16.) 04 Jul 2020 06:59:23
Well I’m definitely not the ONLY person because 8/ 10 people who I regularly go to the game with (Pre C.V.) says the same thing.
It’s opinion and I feel strongly enough about Keita to vent mine. I will hold my hands up if I’m wrong bug mark my words, we will get to the end of the 20/ 21 season and Keita will not have held down a starting role in the team, he will have picked up further injuries and everyone on this website will be calling for his sale and a replacement, he will not make it in the Premier League and would not make City, Chelsea or Man Uniteds first team so why do you see him as good enough for our team.
17.) 04 Jul 2020 11:00:49
Shughes55, your opinion and the 8/ 10 or matchgoers agreeing with you makes NO diff. in this debate, IMO. You all have opinions and your opinions are no facts. Your fist post said in part that Keita would not make it in the Championship is based in any form of fact or reality.
You may believe that and that is okay BUT you will have a very hard time convincing anyone who watched Keita play at RBL (Which I did a tonne), a player Bayern and Barcelona were interested in, one Klopp got burned tapping him up cos that's how desperate he wanted Naby, would not make it in the Championship is pure fantasy, end of., IMO. You may not like not like Naby BUT your hyperbole is ruining your argument, IMO
Now your second post about you forecasting what Naby's career at LFC would be like is just your own projections based on your clear dislike for him which again, is fine. You cannot see the future so that part of your post is irrelevant.
You also say that Naby would not start in Utd's, Chelsea's, City's midfield so why should he be good enuff for our team? Well, he is good enuff cos Klopp thinks he is and there are many of us who thinks he is cos he has shown it many times before, just not consistently.
Also, these teams' midfield play in diff. ways and they may not need him esp. at Chelsea where Kante (a much better player) runs things, or City who play a diff. way or Utd so again, that part of your post is pure projection with no valid arguments to back it up. Again, you may not like Naby BUT your hyperbolic statements are ruining your argument, IMO. Peace!
18.) 04 Jul 2020 11:37:17
Rm I think you’ve hit the nail on the head there with one of your last points mate but I think it’s the wrong nail you’ve hit. I actually think Naby could be better suited to the other teams and it’s our system he’s not. At a Chelsea, City or utd he would be allowed to roam free in the midfield like De Bruyne, Mount and Pogba / Fernandes are allowed in their systems. Our midfield 3 under Klopp are probably one of the most positionally Disciplined in world football. And I believe this is what is restricting him and us seeing the player that lit up German football.
19.) 04 Jul 2020 13:30:25
JK, you are so right. To support your point, I saw an interview with David Maddock where amongst other things, they were talking about what was holding Naby back at LFC outside of his off the field issues and lack of fitness.
He said that the way our team used to play under Klopp in the press, was that everyone knew when to press and where to press the opposition sometimes depending who had the ball. That has evolved into the players ability now, to INSTINCTIVELY (sorry for the caps, lol) press the opposition wherever they are on the pitch cos they know the system so well that if one goes, the others automatically know where to be and who to pick up. This is where Naby is lagging behind, according to him and I agree.
Another place where Naby is lagging is his positional play and his ineffectiveness when we don't have the ball. He tends to go walkabout at times in games and in our midfield system, no passengers are allowed. Maddock said if he can sort this out and of course stay fit then he will be awesome cos clearly, the kid is ultra talented.
My issue with Shughes55's post was not so much the substance of what he was saying but rather, the absolutism with which he gives his opinion. For me, speaking in absolutes is just a way of not having to actually argue your point and that is why I responded the way I did. Peace, man!
20.) 04 Jul 2020 15:27:21
The same keita who was excellent in the champions league this year and last. Not good enough for division 2? I agree his injuries have severely hampered him at liverpool but he has played well a lot more than he's played poorly.
21.) 04 Jul 2020 22:03:57
Robbie, it's just absolutism and hyperbole, IMO. Nothing more, nothing less.
02 Jul 2020 17:31:40
Leon Bailey is apparently available for between 20-30m! Think that’s worth a punt
Thoughts Ed’s?
{Ed002's Note - BL want more than that and Liverpool do not have the money to take a punt on a player they have no interest in. If Mane leaves that situation may change.}
1.) 02 Jul 2020 18:27:36
OP, we got no money and this has been repeated endlessly so how would we be taking punts on players, exactly.
2.) 03 Jul 2020 05:21:17
We might not have a lot of money atm, but we have quite a few assets who we can lose. Wilson, grujic, Philips, maybe brewster. Clyne (is he on a free soon) we could bring in a bit with those boys. And lovren of course, karius. So there could be a signing or two.
{Ed0666's Note - if the reigning premiership and European champions don’t have much money to spend what makes you think less successful teams have money to spend mate. And the clubs that have financial clout during COVID will I’m sure not to be looking to purchase the players you mention I’m sure.

Sorry mate but how the f**** can you say Jiminez is better then Firmino! They are totally different players? Ones an out and out striker the other is CF with every capabilities! (Other then scoring) Firmino means more our team they anyone! Frankly we wouldn’t of won the league without him.
20 Apr 2020 18:14:37
Ed’s,
So as you said RBL are looking at a timo replacement? Do you see you Werner in Liverpool sights and what he join?
{Ed002's Note - Well Liverpool have made an illegal approach and as far as RBL are concerned to Bild that Klopp will meet directly with the player. If they don’t it will simply be another player Klopp and Liverpool have tried to destroy the career of. It is simply awful that Liverpool continue this awful behaviour.}
09 Mar 2020 16:15:59
Ed’s,
Who would we be looking to bring in? Sorry if you have said before but haven’t seen anything.
{Ed002's Note - There is no change as far as I know to the players who the club have an interest in like Todd Cantwell (LM), Amine Harit (AM/RW/LW), Kai Havertz (AM), Filip Stevanovic (AM/LW) remain of interest and Philippe Coutinho (AM/LW) will likely be discussed.}
05 Sep 2019 16:11:46
Thanks! Do you mind just copying one over as I can’t find anything?
{Ed002's Note - Try searching on Joao Felix or Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld.}
05 Sep 2019 15:36:26
Ed’s thank you for the response!
Have you a small list of players you’ve heard we are looking at? Or alternatively who you would like to see fill the void.
Thanks :)
{Ed002's Note - Not really at this time. It would not be unreasonable to look at previous lists and see who has not moved on.}

50m release clause apparently looks a very good player. I also heard something about raphinia? From Leeds.

To be honest I’ve always liked Jota! So when I found he was coming I knew he’d fit like a glove.

I literately had to double check I wasn’t on the united page after that comment. Jesus Christ pre season means nothing and you acting like this. Someone need the kids to finish their holidays.

Can anyone fill me in then as I can’t find anything.
