Anyone know what the bid was from BM for Diaz?
1.) 02 Jul 2025 20:42:39
Was there one? Or just an inquiry?
2.) 02 Jul 2025 21:50:44
I don’t know how it works, but the way it’s reported makes it sounds like randomly Bayern email Richard Hughes like ‘hey, Diaz £70m, keen? ’.
3.) 02 Jul 2025 22:28:55
BM as in bowel movement? A lot of BM from those guys in Munich, that's for sure!

Hi eds1
Do you know if Alvarez wants to leave AM? Not necessarily to Liverpool but just wants out. Thanks mate.
{Ed001's Note - I don't know of any desperation to leave from him.}
1.) 28 May 2025 14:39:16
His missus didn’t like England and he doesn’t have any desire to leave.
2.) 28 May 2025 15:00:48
Julian Alvarez doesn't look like wanting to leave Spain. Forget about him.
3.) 28 May 2025 15:21:41
Atletico's president has shot down the idea of selling Alvarez and said he was born there and he will die there (bit dramatic) .
Lot's of reports are pointing towards Ekitike it would seem, and even Carra (who I'm convinced is Macca) has confirmed interest. Though this reported 100m euro asking price has surely got to be negotiable for a potential deal with us to go anywhere. Can I just add, that Ekitike currently plays for Frankfurt who utilise a 3-4-3 formation. Okay, I'll let it go now!
{Ed001's Note - why do people think he is Macca? Macca would just use his own account, he was on it a few weeks ago and made sure to let me know it was him as well just in case. Why would he suddenly change account?}
4.) 28 May 2025 15:45:17
Looks like Chelsea are really pushing for Ekitike now we have declared interest.
5.) 28 May 2025 15:46:59
Ed001, I've forgotten my password 4 times and had to change account name. I think I was YNWAdam, YNWA! (Adam), then East-Midlands-Scouser, Harvey-Elliotts-Man-Bun and finally MK-Scouser.
Certainly Carra seems to be fairly accurate and slightly ahead of the mainstream media though. His bullet point style of writing posts is similar to Macca's so I think that's where the comparison comes from.
{Ed001's Note - I am sure Macca would say if it was him. It feels to me more like Carra has simply copied the style of post as it is a very clear, concise way of writing.}
6.) 28 May 2025 16:47:57
Zubimendi didn’t want to leave Spain and look how that turned out. If the money is right, he’ll suddenly change his mind.
7.) 28 May 2025 17:02:19
Am not bothered who carra is as long as he keeps posting good info. I find it really exciting to know inside info. ?.

Hi Ed’s 2
Is today the last day of Dani Olmo buy out clause?
{Ed002's Note - Not for one club.}
02 Jul 2024 20:18:34
Hi eds2
Just wondering if there’s any interested teams in Tsimikas?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Kostas Tsimikas (LB) Agent previously said he was being forced out of the club to raise €20M or more. Since then it has been quiet and I am not aware of any approaches. Liverpool may resist a sale due to the cost of replacement.}
1.) 03 Jul 2024 13:30:26
Would a replacement be needed when Owen Beck is already better than Kostas and Gomez can also cover?
30 Jun 2024 12:27:15
Are we still interested in Archie Gray eds2?
{Ed002's Note - Archie Gray (DM/CM/RB) Leeds kiddie having had an excellent season in the Championship and showing versatility. Will not be for sale but Leeds have noted Brentford, Crystal Palace and Spurs have a declared interest with the former having had a significant offer rejected. Scouts from Manchester United, West Ham, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and RBL have attended games but it would be a waste of the player unless these clubs are looking to utilise him in the first team with all having preferred options. West Ham, Borussia Dortmund or Bayern Munich may provide a wildcard solution.}
1.) 30 Jun 2024 13:13:02
According to the Guardian he’ll likely go to Spurs.
2.) 30 Jun 2024 14:11:18
BBC is saying, he's off to Brentford.
3.) 30 Jun 2024 15:02:36
Apparently the Brentford deal broke down over payment structure.
4.) 30 Jun 2024 19:49:05
Great player, but not sure where he would fit in.
5.) 30 Jun 2024 20:55:26
Reminds me a bit of Declan Rice. I don’t think we need to gamble on a teenager though. We have a good academy now that is producing players. If we sign players for big money, i’d prefer they are players who improve us in the here and now. Gray probably has a big future though if he stays fit and grounded.
6.) 01 Jul 2024 07:26:35
Would be kind of funny having that misogynistic liverpool-hating neanderthal's son becoming a star for us, though, wouldn't it lol.
7.) 01 Jul 2024 08:38:59
Different Andy Gray Paddy.
8.) 01 Jul 2024 08:44:22
oh no haha, then it wouldn't be funny at all.

Morning eds1.
I wonder if you could help clarify something for me.
I read a few posts on here yesterday about Isak and Newcastle and the wages he is on. A few posters said that they are the richest club in the world so they can afford any wage but I thought a club can only spend what they gain in profit ie PSR rules so is this correct or can a club spend any amount on wages. ?
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - it is not profit, it is a percentage of revenue that they can spend. I think, iirc, it is 70% currently that can be spent, in total, on all wages at the club, plus agent fees and transfer fees, with a 3 year running total overspend of up to (again iirc as I am typing this straight off my head without doublechecking) £105m. The initial plan UEFA had was to reduce the percentage down to 50% of revenue, but there has been some pushback against that, so I am not sure if that will still happen.
I think people are getting mixed up anyway, Newcastle's owners are extremely wealthy, that does not mean the club is rich as an owner does not have to spend anything on the club. Mike Ashley was a billionaire but when he owned Newcastle he took money out of them, making himself a large profit. On top of that, he also reduced their capacity to earn money through sponsorship by taking over most of the advertising hoardings at the ground to advertise his jumble sale shops, Sports Direct, for free.}
1.) 29 Jun 2025 11:39:27
Thanks for clarifying eds1 ??.
2.) 29 Jun 2025 12:03:15
Jumble sale shops?.
3.) 29 Jun 2025 12:54:35
Sports Direct is a lovely employer, as well, I believe.
4.) 29 Jun 2025 13:10:25
Let's put it this way, the Newcastle project is not the jewel in Saudi's football crown. This "richest club in the world" labelling needs a reality check.
21 Jun 2025 23:13:46
We could do with Carra post right now regarding Isak. So more information would be very appreciated.
1.) 22 Jun 2025 01:30:00
Doubt the info is ever going to change
We’re interested
Apparently he’s keen
Newcastle don’t have to sell
It’ll cost a lot.
2.) 22 Jun 2025 02:44:02
Oh and he stays at Newcastle for the coming season.
3.) 22 Jun 2025 03:01:39
@Longthing, it’s life, sometimes there’s no change and there’s nothing to say.
4.) 22 Jun 2025 05:02:19
He literally gave his opinion on Isak one day ago .
5.) 22 Jun 2025 05:10:27
Agreed, nothing much will change in a few days. I also think it must be pretty frustrating for the Eds to answer the same monotonous questions time after time after time.
6.) 22 Jun 2025 06:43:52
We can't take another 20 thousand 5 hundred 60 articles saying we are close to agreeing.
One Wirtz drama is enough for this window.
7.) 22 Jun 2025 07:53:07
Sorry I did know he posted a day ago I’ll see if I can find it.
8.) 22 Jun 2025 10:01:33
Still waiting for simao, still waiting on mbappe, still waiting on Isak.
9.) 22 Jun 2025 12:53:53
Personally I’m still waiting for Gini’s replacement.
15 Jun 2025 14:24:18
Hi all.
Anyone know what’s happening with kerkez. Its gone very quiet on that front?
1.) 15 Jun 2025 14:50:28
Reading between the lines, Bournemouth were trying to line up a replacement first (before the prices climb higher! ) which they have now done. I’d hope that both will be doing the lean next week (Kerkez and Wirtz)
2.) 15 Jun 2025 15:12:36
All done and dusted next week with Wirtz.
3.) 15 Jun 2025 15:14:40
Bournemouth look to have lined up his replacement, a french lad, so I'm going to assume we were delaying announcing the kerkez deal until that was dealt with. Pretty sure another poster suggested this recently, so this is me agreeing with them!
4.) 15 Jun 2025 19:52:46
Kerkez will happen, just like Wirtz got done. Relax and give it time.
5.) 15 Jun 2025 23:40:49
Negotiating new replacements for them could be tricky if teams know they have a confirmed £45m for their outgoing player.
Probably just a timing thing for then rather than any issues arising with the Kerkez deal.
6.) 16 Jun 2025 02:37:08
But if we already know that Kerkez is done for £45m, won’t the other club who they are buying from know it also? All they have to do is google ‘Liverpool rumours’ and boom! There it is!
No point holding off an announcement if everyone knows anyway!
Maybe we should stop discussing it in case they do come on here and up their price for his replacement. From now on, when talking about Kerkez we should say Dom’s mate and instead of Bournemouth we should say South Coast FC.
That’ll throw them off the scent and seal the deal. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
7.) 16 Jun 2025 07:15:40
Don’t tell him Pike!
01 Jun 2025 15:53:27
This is a very interesting transfer window. Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U and I think Newcastle all want strikers. There’s only so many to go round so who’s getting who, that is the big question.
Looks like Man U have just got Cunha.
1.) 01 Jun 2025 15:58:37
Chelsea will probably end up with about 4.
31 May 2025 13:33:42
Hi again eds1
Could you shed any light on Osimhen. Is he a trouble maker, why was he sent on loan when he’s clearly very good, ? Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - he fell out with Napoli after they posted a racist tweet about him.}
1.) 31 May 2025 14:12:31
Can't believe till this day that whoever did that thought that was a good idea.
2.) 31 May 2025 14:41:30
Yep. That will cause a fall out alright.
12 Jul 2025 11:44:23
If we want Guehi that much then wait until next season and get him for free. 65mill for him with one year left is ridiculous.
10 Jul 2025 14:50:11
Isak missed 4 games with groin injury, 5 with hamstring and in 24/ 25 season and a broken toe which I don’t think you could call that injury prone.
10 Jul 2025 09:54:40
I have to disagree. Isak is world class and the best striker in the prem. He has proven that he will be a success and yes we would have to manage his fitness but we would have other strikers/ players that would easily step in. The money side of things don’t really worry me, if we have the money then go get him if we don’t then yes move on.
09 Jul 2025 12:17:45
Why has he burnt his bridges?
06 Jul 2025 18:57:23
Why would we do that!
04 Jul 2025 18:09:17
That’s amazing Peter Pan. You are very talented.
03 Jul 2025 09:53:28
I can’t believe it. He only got married 2 weeks ago and has 3 kids. So sad!
29 Jun 2025 11:39:27
Thanks for clarifying eds1 ??.
29 Jun 2025 09:03:40
Glad everything has worked out for you and your family Burkey.
