Rumours that we've accepted 25m bids from Brentford and Leverkeusen for SVB, up to player now to work out which he prefers, any truth Ed002?
{Ed002's Note - No currency? SvdB is pushing hard to get out of the club.}
1.) 21 Aug 2024 10:56:40
It looks like it might be 1 thing Hughes has got right. He stuck to his guns when people were saying that Sepp was being priced out of a move and PSV were offering half of what we wanted. Now it looks like 2 clubs are willing to pay above the £20m we were after.
It will be a shame to see him leave but it is hard to see where he would get any playing time in the first team. Good luck to him.
13 Aug 2024 14:00:09
Any legs in these Diaz to Citeh rumours today?
{Ed002's Note - I assume to make space for the arrrival of Mbappe?}
1.) 13 Aug 2024 14:13:39
No Ed he's already gone to Madrid.
2.) 13 Aug 2024 14:29:35
It's a swap between Diaz and Grealish.
3.) 13 Aug 2024 14:34:05
I suspect Ed was also teasing you.
4.) 13 Aug 2024 15:00:17
Given our left sided forward options, I would be in favour of Diaz to City in return for KDB and Rodri.
Anyone agree?
5.) 13 Aug 2024 15:15:36
Really Skezza ??.
07 Aug 2024 16:43:45
Hi Ed002, there was a lot of discussion at the start of the window on the Saudi's trying to get VVD and Salah, have they decided against moving for both or any of them or have you heard there's still interest? I think ypu said recently that the budgets had been agreed among the Saudi teams.
{Ed002's Note - They have agreed budgets and started shopping. They want to also add younger players. Diabetes and Auoar have been picked up already.}
1.) 07 Aug 2024 18:37:16
Wow already picked up diabetes young eh? that's a bummer ed?.
2.) 07 Aug 2024 18:38:47
I feel like getting Diabetes will be a mistake.
3.) 07 Aug 2024 18:39:43
Diabetes may not have been the best signing in my opinion.
4.) 07 Aug 2024 18:40:31
Must be all the rich food.
5.) 07 Aug 2024 18:47:26
I have diabetes type 1, and yes, I regret getting it immensely :D.
{Ed025's Note - im type 2 Westwood, too many Big Mc,s and larger and cakes and fry ups and chips, and sweets.. :)
6.) 07 Aug 2024 18:58:12
I feel they should target Emilliano Insulin. He’d be great alongside Diabetes.
{Ed025's Note - yeah MK, hes the type 2 do well.. :)
7.) 07 Aug 2024 19:09:24
I heard they got a sweet deal for diabetes.
8.) 07 Aug 2024 19:42:54
I’m a type one myself, I have my arm patch on. It’s a game changer.
9.) 07 Aug 2024 20:19:37
Ed2 sitting there just seething that no one let it go “fuken autocorrect”.
10.) 07 Aug 2024 20:52:57
Is that a Freudian slip there Ed025, Big Macs and larger ?.
{Ed025's Note - it was Otty, i had a bit of a brain fart there mate.. :)
11.) 07 Aug 2024 22:07:53
I enjoy all that to Ed025, so much so I basically have my pen as a permanent fixture like a drip ?.
02 Aug 2024 13:56:04
Any truth we are interested in Sportings Gyokeres? I know it's only one season in Portugal but his tally is very impressive with 43 goals and 15 assists in 50 appearances.
{Ed002's Note - Viktor Gyokeres (S) After only joining last summer Sporting have no interest in selling but fear a club could simply pay his €100M buy out clause in full and try to persuade him to move. Sporting fear Chelasea may do that and have avoided the subject during discussions over another player and a separate issue - and whilst Chelsea has a preferred option he is proving difficult to sign. He has attracted scouts representing Manchester United, Spurs and Arsenal with Arsenal seeing him as an option to Toney and can be seen as likely bidders - the issue will be if they are willing to pay the buy out clause in full and if they could nogotiate terms to avoid a single payment. They have been speaking with his agent. Spurs may offer a wildcard option but have a much preferred and more financially viable option they are actively progressing to effectively replace Kane which they failed to do last summer. Another wildcard would be Atletico Madrid. Sporting are looking to a new contract and an increase in his buy-out clause. Seemingly over his injury and just being eased back in to pre-season. I am not aware of any approach to Sporting by Liverpool.}
1.) 02 Aug 2024 14:13:37
Thanks Ed ?.
2.) 02 Aug 2024 19:24:36
Prefer to keep Darwin, which speaks volumes ?.
3.) 02 Aug 2024 19:49:27
Tbh it’s a link that makes no sense as Nunes deserves a chance to be the spearhead of the attack, Slot has seemed to go for a mobile big lad up front and maybe he can get a tune out of Nunez.
4.) 02 Aug 2024 20:14:14
Nunez so far-good against lesser teams, but generally goes missing when it really matters.
Can technique and consistency be entrained, i wonder.
5.) 02 Aug 2024 20:53:19
How about focus on what he has and get the best out of that rather than the things he doesn’t, Vango. He could be a Drogba style menace with his pace and physicality.
6.) 02 Aug 2024 20:40:22
God this is an old one from years ago resurfacing. He’s too slow and not good enough for a top tier premier league team going for the title.
7.) 02 Aug 2024 22:17:56
How did he do at Coventry?
8.) 02 Aug 2024 23:00:23
Nunez has had a year and a half - how long does he get to prove he is worth a spot in the team? If Jota could stay fit our best front three, imo, are Gakpo on the left Jota in the middle (for want of anybody better) and Salah on the right.
9.) 02 Aug 2024 23:29:11
Nunez has a question mark against him for sure but what we can't question is that he's an absolute menace and causes defences lots of problems, can't question his desire and effort, can't question his tracking back if he loses the ball, can't questions the opportunites he gets himslef into, the question is his composure in front of goal, and I do wonder that he tries too hard because of his desire to do well and there fore snatches at stuff, like you say against big teams, in big games, etc If he can just get that composure with the 50% of his chances that he misses (IMO due to trying and wanting too hard which you can't fault) his goals return would be pretty impressive, its not too bad as it is to be fair to him if he can tweak that then I think we'll see a real high scoring goal scorer to go with the rest of him. (same with his off sides just a bit too eager to get ahead of his marker/ defencive line because of his desire) if slot and co can teach hims the ice cool compsure side of a good striker then I think he will be quality.
10.) 02 Aug 2024 23:43:15
“If Jota could stay fit”
He can’t and doesn’t, so he shouldn’t be first choice as you can’t rely on an injury prone player, as Thiago, Ox, Matip, Keita have proven.
11.) 03 Aug 2024 01:46:19
Funnily enough @Victor, that’s why I wrote ‘for want of anyone better’.
IF, dirty big IF, Jota could stay fit he would be my first choice striker from the current squad. However, as I’ve said two or three times on here recently, neither Jota or Nunez, is convincing as a centre forward for a PL and CL winning side.
If I was the coach of Liverpool FC which (unlike some people on here) I realise I’m not, I’d be focussing on a genuine goal scoring centre forward as a priority.
We scored a lot of goals last season but they were shared around a number of players. Whilst that is not a bad thing in itself I think a CF like Rushy, or God or prime Torres or Suarez that frighten the sh#t out of opposition defences is what we want.
Not only would they scores loads of goals themselves but they would make a lot more spaces (and chances) for others to build on last season’s goal tally - imho, that’s what will improve us and give us an even better chance for the PL and CL.
12.) 03 Aug 2024 01:49:54
Nunez playing as a 9 running in behind from central positions or out wide to get on the end of chances will be an absolute pest this season, best believe. If he has space to attack and can play off instinct he is a devastating player. People suggesting we should replace him with gyokeres don’t know what they’re talking about, as an overall player Nunez is much more developed.
13.) 03 Aug 2024 07:53:29
Hunkered is not the answer, I’m not saying he isn’t decent, but he is not what we need at the price.
I would however jump at the chance to take Alvarez from City for the reported £60-70m
That lad is quality.
14.) 03 Aug 2024 08:49:04
I like Nunez and this will be his third season at the club. I really hope this is his breakout season when it comes to goals.
He seems to make the hard chances look easy and the easy ones sometimes comical.
I’m also a big fan of Jota and whilst I agree his injury issues are a real concern his finishing is pretty clinical but the best ability is availability.
Nunez despite being far more available than Jota has 3 more PL goals than him in the last 2 seasons but then Jota again the downside of Jota is he’s played half the league minutes Darwin has in that time.
So it backs up what most people are saying there.
14 Jul 2024 15:29:16
Being reported in the last hour that van der Berg has asked Edwards and Hughes to lower his price tag so he can get a move away from LFC.
1.) 14 Jul 2024 15:52:57
Well that would disappoint Victor for sure. Ed02 said this long back and the man is an absolute legend on transfers. The lad wants out!
2.) 14 Jul 2024 16:30:46
Why would we lower his price that we have set. He is a very good player by all accounts and we have a contract with the player for another 2 years so If no one wants to pay what we are asking then he stays and sees out his contract it’s as simple as that!
3.) 14 Jul 2024 16:50:05
The value of good young players with one season (or less) behind them is set by a ridiculous market, and the money within the game, not by Sepp VBD.
4.) 14 Jul 2024 17:16:34
It’s basically the same story from a few weeks back just resurfacing as there’s nothing much for journos to write other than linking us to dross like Rabiot.
5.) 14 Jul 2024 17:20:00
If he wants to go that much, just let him go. Get in touch with his agent and work something out.
6.) 14 Jul 2024 17:57:30
Yes. Exactly the same story being written all over again.
7.) 14 Jul 2024 18:36:08
The way we currently play is not for every CB. Very few are suitable for defending half a pitch between two. It might change with Slot slightly but i was at a couple of games at anfield and could not believe the sheer volume of space covered between VVD and Konate. i've only seen Sepp on Youtube. Looks a decent prsopect but not sure he fits our style. Looks more of a third defender like Gomez atm and in a back 3 im sure Sepp would definitely find his feet. But if our usual system where TAA wonders around and Robbo is keen to serve his natural instints and go forward then not sure Sepp would thrive. Happy to be proved wrong but in our current system i think the all rounders like VVD Konate and Quansah are better suited i. e. huge, mobile, good in the air, good at duels in open space, ball playing etc. Big step up for Sepp but if he's fine with 4th choice then he's a good backup but doubt he's fine with that. At this moment id put Gomez ahead of Sepp.
8.) 14 Jul 2024 18:44:59
What victor said.
9.) 14 Jul 2024 22:45:43
Being reported that the club has set a price of 22 Million on Van den Berg. For someone who has no experience in the EPL, I thought the price was a bit high. Maybe Van den Berg is expecting an 8 million price like has been placed on Phillips?
In any case VDB has a contract that still has 2 years, and he's being paid the wages he is obligated to receive. So stop talking to the Press and sending agents to complain everywhere. Just buckle down and excel in training, so somebody is impressed enough to pay that 22 Million. No problem at all if you want to go. End of.
10.) 14 Jul 2024 23:55:33
Sepp is a better player than Phillips, Nat went on loan to Bunesliga 2,couldnt get a game for celtic. Meanwhile CB's on loan at Southampton last year are going for 20 mill, its certainly a fair price for Sepp!
11.) 15 Jul 2024 00:25:59
I don't get the furore around this lad, he's obviously not good enough for us, best for all involved that he finds a home somewhere else at his level.
12.) 15 Jul 2024 08:27:58
He qualifies as a homegrown player for us, so if he was to be sold the price would have a premium amount placed upon it.
13.) 15 Jul 2024 10:11:03
He has experience in the Bundesliga tho ArAy and highly thought of too. I mean you don’t get much these days for €22 million. I think it’s reasonable enough if you ask me.
14.) 15 Jul 2024 11:13:39
Irish, I have no real issue with VDB being worth 22 million. But then Phillips is worth more than 8 million consequently, and that Turkish club offered only 4 million. Phillips and Williams saved our neck that year when we had the CB crisis. He has enough EPL experience to be worth more than 8 million, I would say.

I’ve seen this story before. In the end, Liverpool win the greatest Champions League final of all time and the scouser stays at his boyhood club becoming a legend. A legend so big that rival fans still sing hate towards him on the terraces 10 years after he leaves ❤️ bring on the rest of the season.

So reports that Madrid want TAA in January and would be willing to do a deal where we give them TAA and a fee for Tchouamani l, it will be silly season on the rumours front until this one gets settled.
1.) 10 Oct 2024 06:04:50
TAA will go to Madrid.
I hear all the nonsense about him wanting to stay but the truth is, he made demands that the club are not prepared to meet, there was an impasse and that has led to the current predicament.
My issue is that the club didn’t see this reality and tie him down before selling him for a handsome fee.
I like the lad and think he is a belter player, but nobody is bigger than the club.
The club now need to either back down and sign him up for another 3 years on increased terms or keep him until the end of the season and let him sign a pc in Jan.
2.) 10 Oct 2024 08:27:45
Has a professional club ever lost their club captain and vice captain in the same transfer window before?
Would be quite some record especially for free.
3.) 10 Oct 2024 08:35:10
Do you know this hughes or is that just a wild guess?
4.) 10 Oct 2024 08:51:42
How could the club tie Trent down if it was unwilling to meet his demands? One of the reasons Madrid want to sign him might be because he is available on a free.
5.) 10 Oct 2024 09:18:43
Ed doesn't seem to think that is the case Hughes. Trent is one of the best rwb in world football atm and it's fair that he wants his salary to indicate this.
Amateur dealings from the club if he is to leave on a free.
6.) 10 Oct 2024 09:36:35
Absolute dream for media and click bait sites lol
Couldn’t have written it in the stars any better than for Carvajal to go down for the season before the January window to add some spice to the rumours lol

{Ed002's Note - We are not going to get in to this - it will simply result in more misinformation being shared.}
11.) 10 Oct 2024 13:06:43
As much as i want him to stay I think he will probably leave. I can see this being like a Pogba move. he will go to Madrid have a few games were he makes some mistakes at the back, then the fans start questioning his defensive abilities then the media add their part. He then starts to realise that maybe the grass isn't always greener and wants to come home. Do we welcome him back if that happened or tell him he's made his bed? could he have something put in his new contract that allows him to come back at a reasonable fee or do we do what united did and pay 100mil. There are not many players that leave Liverpool to go onto have a better career. He will not be loved as much as he is here, If he goes I wish him well but we except that he is not the greatest at defending at times because he is one of our own but will he have the same support from other fans? only time will tell.
{Ed002's Note - Why make up this nonsense? Once he leaves Liverpool he no longer has a contract with the club. Surely you must have a glimmer of understanding how this all works?}
12.) 10 Oct 2024 13:26:30
Scouse / . Jimmy absolute great shout. Indeed we did.
At the time I suppose it could be debated neither would be first team regulars where as Trent and Virg are starting 11 week in week out.

17.) 10 Oct 2024 14:11:37
We did indeed WDW. And then that following season it was said we were in a transition season to bed in a new midfield.
Would the club be doing slot justice by losing 3 of his best starting 11 in one window and then resulting in his second season being another so called transitional period.
I can’t say hand on heart that Slot wants to keep all 3 but the fact he is currently starting them week in week out suggests the evidence is that he does.
18.) 10 Oct 2024 14:59:54
Fair enough, Ed002.
It was a rhetorical question but, as you say, there is already too much misinformation being spread.
19.) 10 Oct 2024 20:44:03
I agree @JK, all three are certain starters when fit and are an integral part of the current team.
Personally, I’d like to see all three of them stay, although I’d have VVD on a two year extension at most as I think his age is a factor.
As I wrote the other day I think the problem stems from the time the current contracts were agreed - somebody at the club at that time (absolutely no idea who) should have been aware of the chance of the situation arising that the club is now facing. It’s unprofessional and has been exacerbated by allowing it to go unchecked. That said, it is what it is and hopefully the club can do something about it, ideally before the start of open season for negotiation with other clubs in January.
Again personally, I don’t think all three will leave.
My gut feeling is that VVD will stay, particularly as Joe G seems to assigned captain of the reserve team by Arne which I think will be a sign to Joe that first team football is a better option elsewhere. If both go that would leave us with Ibou, Quansah and, perhaps Naldo but would mean we need two (or 3 - the LCB discussion notwithstanding) squad / starter CBs., who will come at a cost.
I’d say Mo is 50/ 50. I’d be happy for him to stay as he is still a top class performer although I’d like to see Chiesa get up to speed and along with Doak, perhaps, prove they are a viable option to play on the right as starters rather than squad members. If Mo does decide he wants to leave then fair play to him. He has been nothing but excellent for us and he has my best wishes and thanks for some great memories.
I’d say the one most likely to leave is Trent. I think based on what I’ve heard and seen is that he continually wants to improve and be the best he can and I think that playing with the players that have been assembled at RM would be an obvious attraction. To be fair, he has won everything there is to win at Liverpool and it just might be the Gerrard / Zubimendi ‘now or never’ moment for him. Again, if the lad does leave then, like Mo, best wishes for the future and thanks for the brilliant memories and, not least, the best corner kick that has ever been taken. I think that in young Bradley we have an excellent replacement and, acknowledging that Trent is one of the best in the world in his position I honestly believe that Bradley could be in the same bracket in the not to distant future.
One final opinion, I’m not a believer in the idea of transition seasons. I see it as a cop out option. In my view if we spend £100m+ for two or three players in a window then we should be buying players with the capability to play the way, and to the level required, by the coach.
As it stands, if TAA, VVD and Mo leave the obvious replacements from the current squad would be Bradley, Quansah and Chiesa which would be a drop off in terms of team strength but not a disaster and all three replacements have the potential to improve, particularly the two younger players.
Sorry, once I got started I got a bit carried away.
20.) 10 Oct 2024 21:14:31
Great post and enjoyable read that WDW.
I’m very much of the same opinion.
03 Oct 2024 18:31:55
Reading today that PSG will offer Mo a three year contact. Would be a fantastic coup for them on a free. Hope it's the usual internet nonsense.
1.) 03 Oct 2024 18:42:10
Would make very little sense for Mo unless we aren’t offering him a new deal. It’s basically a farmers league in that there’s no true competition for PSG who then fail ever year in europe.
2.) 03 Oct 2024 18:50:46
Perhaps it was a spelling mistake and they meant FSG and not PSG.
But there again FSG have zero say in contracts and 200 million pounds worth of assets leaving their business for free.
Bloody John Henry must be on tender hooks watching this play out.
He’ll be down the back of the settee looking for change at this rate.

5.) 04 Oct 2024 07:58:32
I would be surprised.
PSG are rebuilding their squad and brand as a team of the best young French players alongside the best young players from across Europe. They have moved away from picking up the senior superstars looking for a final pay day (Messi, Ramos, etc) .
6.) 04 Oct 2024 14:28:57
Exactly, Navy Keith. TThey have been signing young French players (or young foreign players) since the wholestrategy of signing of proven winners like Ramos, Messi or even Gini went up in smoke.
They have signed Vitinha, Barcola, Neves, Hakimi and also promoted players from their academy like Doue so why would PSG be looking to sign Salah? I don't see any of that, man.
01 Oct 2024 13:39:25
Jota injured, hope it's nothing too serious, on a positive Nunez is back training.

10.) 02 Oct 2024 08:04:13
Useless bum that Jota.
11.) 02 Oct 2024 19:29:20
Rather have Jota and Nunez as a partnership, than Szoboszlai and Jota, or Szoboszlai and Nunez as partnership.
Jota has more guile, cunning, creativity and more a threat in the box than Sloboszlai, can't wait for Harvey to return and play a run of games in Sloboszlai's position, as I think Harvey will suit Arne's style which is more cultured, than Jurgens heavy pressing. Harvey needs his chance to see if he is the missing link in Arne's style of football.
12.) 03 Oct 2024 07:35:16
