Evening Eds. Away from the MC situation. There's a report we've made a bid for Goncalo Inacio. Now I think I saw an Ed say we've burnt our bridges with his current club. But have you heard anything else?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - He has a release clause Liverpool could look to invoke.}
1.) 11 Aug 2023 21:51:24
Don’t Ed. Don’t give us hope.
2.) 11 Aug 2023 21:53:29
The situation regarding MC has certainly taken a few twists and turns. Fair play to the lad as he has stuck to his word. He agreed personal terms wirh Chelsea dating back to may and he is just following through with his agreement. Looks a magnificent player but you win some and you lose some. I’m just confused as to why it’s taken toll August to agree a deal if personal terms were agreed in may?
3.) 11 Aug 2023 22:51:00
Genuinely not trying to be a smart arse when I say this, but I’m presuming Chelsea haven’t had permission to discuss terms with the player as they’ve never had a bid accepted. It’s been reported that terms have been agreed since end of may, can that be true?
{Ed002's Note - As has been explained, they have been speaking to his agents. What problem do you see?}
4.) 11 Aug 2023 23:05:14
Ed I am sorry but am I making the right conclusion that the issue with Sportig is solved and the clause for zinacio may be payed?
Thank you for all your information.
{Ed002's Note - No, payment, single amount in full may work.}

Hi Eds
We all MF is going to be the priority for the summer but what are your thoughts at RB? TAA has had a season to forget, Gomez/ milner aren't the answer and according to reports Ramsey will be sent on loan next season. IMO we need another RB to give Trent some competition as at the moment he knows he's first choice. Do u know of any decent RBs available this summer?, Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Obviously there are RBs available but Liverpool have not been looking for one.}
1.) 05 Apr 2023 15:53:10
My guess is Klopp will stick with TAA at RB with Gomez, Milner, Ramsey as backups. However, I think we severly need a athletic sprint monster on the RCM position, a prime Hendo, Laimer, Caciedo type player to help trent. I like Elliot but he's more of a Bruno Fernandez type player- who would be useful and nice on the eye if given the freedom to roam about. However, having him, Mo, and TAA covering the right side is an absolute diaster, especially when Matip is on that side who doesn't have the legs to make up the ground. I find (sometimes) Konates attritubes can help cover this problem up only to a certain extend. Throw in a defensive midflielder who looks banjaxed in Fabinho and its no wonder so many attacks and goals come down our right side. For Trent to be the baller he is, we need to be on the front foot, pressing high again and with an athlecitc young Hendo type player with legs in him to cover ground. And I solid, aware DMF. As poor as Trent has been this season. 3 midfielders are pririority over a RB imo.
2.) 05 Apr 2023 16:46:27
Hopefully Ramsey will be fit for pre-season and we can take a look at him. I don't think we need another RB at this time.
We may however find ourselves needing cover for Robbo if Tsimikas is moved on.
3.) 05 Apr 2023 18:11:37
Tsimikas was awful last night constantly losing possession, out of position, then took a corner that never even got above the height of the grass.
Why can't Bradley come back and play as a right footed left back next season, he would be far better than a liability, and we would not have to pay for Robbos understudy also, and might even get a fee for Tsimikas though it won't be much!
Joey Jones was right footed these also, Peter Wall, Gerry Byrne, Emlyn Hughes first played as a left back, Denis Irwin who played for you know who, was also a very good right footed left back.
4.) 05 Apr 2023 18:23:06
Caicedo at 70m doesn't look like an LFC purchase, i reckon they will look for better value elsewhere, although he does look like an ideal, prem ready player.
I wonder to what extent the clear out will happen, and how long it will take to settle a bunch of new players in. It may be another write off season next season.
5.) 05 Apr 2023 18:39:54
The daily mirror run this article today that LFC have switched their attention to Caicedo of Brighton, after Wolves removed a clause from Matheus Nunes' contract that would have allowed the 24 year old to join the reds for £44 million this summer.
The daily mail ran this article today also, LFC, man utd and spurs have expressed an interest in activating the £40 million release clause of Napolis South Korean defender Kin Min-jae who is 26.
6.) 05 Apr 2023 18:59:21
007, I completely agree. Once I saw that corner I told my mate he should be subbed and sold immediately lol. It was probably the worst corner ever. It bewilders me when professional footballers can’t do the basics. There have been times when I have liked Tsimikas but it just looks like everyone in the whole squad is low on confidence and underperforming.
I think Allison is the only player that can hold his head high. Can you imagine where we would be without Allison playing, keeper, centre back and right back and sometimes midfield . He’s top class. Must be frustrating for him, and being Brazilian, I wouldn’t be surprised if he were to want to move to Spain eventually if we are going to spend a few seasons in Europa.
7.) 05 Apr 2023 20:36:29
To be fair to Tsimikas he grew into the game last night. But everyone will remember the first corner he got wrong and not the several good ones that followed.
Robbo then came on and stunk the place out with every action.
Funny what we see.
8.) 05 Apr 2023 21:53:26
From the Opta match stats LFC had 5 corners in the whole match. Tsimikas took three of these, the other two corners were awarded after he "grew into the game" so much he had to be substituted?
This is the LFC Channels Neil Mellor assessment of Tsimikas performance last night and also our rival website T. I. Anf: Tsimikas was frankly dreadful for much of the game, losing the ball, and being caught out defensively on numerous occasions.
Funny what we "DONT" see!
9.) 05 Apr 2023 22:52:52
I think it’s fair to say, they all played badly. We’ll just leave it at that. Wouldn’t have mattered if it had of been a good corner anyway cos our forwards were off on holiday.
10.) 05 Apr 2023 23:10:23
TAA as the starting right back, Bradley as back-up and Ramsey on loan to rebuild confidence / solid game time with Gomez or Van Den Berg (if the are still on the books next season) as the ‘general right side all purpose cover.
11.) 06 Apr 2023 07:56:54
Kostas is in and out of the team we need continuity. Robbo as been getting away with running up and down the field all yr. He has been terrible passing, shooting and his defending in stopping the cross coming in as been pish poor. I think the Mane working back, Gini hardly giving the ball away and the pr Pickford, VVD. Made people think Robbo was world class. This season he looks like a defender could be in a team that's gets relegated. Oh that's what he was.
05 Jul 2020 21:28:36
Eds. I would like your opinion on rhian brewster and what we do with him next season.
Clearly there is not a lot of money to spend but i feel we need a good backup striker. I think he's got a record of a goal in every 2 games for Swansea and from What i saw of todays goal he looks a very instinctive player. So would you leave him on loan or bring him back and have him as a backup rather than origi?
{Ed002's Note - It is a case of whether or not he will get enough game time at Liverpool. Otherwise another loan to Swansea would do him a lot of good.}
1.) 05 Jul 2020 21:44:58
Thanks ed. I hope if it is another loan I'd like us to have the chance to bring him in the winter transfer window if he's banging in goals. While i like origi and will his place in fans memories for a while but i don't think he's the answer and would be good to see if brewster is upto the necessay standard.
{Ed002's Note - That is extremely difficult to do and would likely mean that Swansea would need to breach the agreement.}
2.) 05 Jul 2020 22:10:05
Ok. I didn't know that. Thanks for the reply. Just hope he has a good season and is ready to make an inpact when he returns.
3.) 07 Jul 2020 08:11:28
I have seen a few Swansea fans saying he gets very little service and still manages to a score. Seems like has a natural finisher. I guess another loan will Do him good, but I don’t see him replacing firmino yet.
4.) 07 Jul 2020 11:29:42
He’s done really well, he’s scored some cracking goals, I know he’s missed one or two sitters, but he’s a young lad, it happens. The important thing is he picks himself up and doesn’t dwell on it, he’s confident to back himself to try again, the free kick against Millwall was a superb goal, takes real guts to have a go from there at his age. His record works out to roughly one in every two games which I think is good going. Fingers crossed he has what it takes to kick on for us.
5.) 08 Jul 2020 19:01:31
Another goal notched this evening with the game currently at HT. I'd like to see him spend another full season on loan playing week in week out, he's still young and keeping him as back up at this stage of his development could be harmful to his potential growth.
15 Jul 2013 15:05:10
Eds I'm going to mention the word Erickson but bare with me. At the end of last season it seemed the Ajax lad was target for a number of clubs and it was presumed (by a number of people, not necessarily yourselves) he would move fairly quickly. I know its still early in the transfer window but nothing seems to be happening. Do you have any insight as to why no one has (seemingly) approached Ajax yet. Is he not that good? To expensive? Have off field issues?
Would like to here what you think
kind regards
RedDan {Ed002's Note - His penchant for talking about other clubs tends to make folks nervous. It is not dissimilar to Hazard in that someone at Chelsea needed assurances that it would stop before he would OK the purchase.}

Bit of a random question but does anything know how Stefan Bajcetic is getting on and does he have a future at the club?
1.) 25 Jan 2025 23:50:27
I certainly hope so as he looked great a couple of seasons ago, and would be a great understudy to Gravenberch. Unfortunately rumours are he isn’t applying himself correctly. As I said if he could be the Bacjetic of two seasons ago I doubt we would have loaned him and probably be playing now as cover to Gravenberch. If he doesn’t buck up Slot won’t be interested in giving him minutes, and I feel a sale or another loan in the summer.
Shame would have saved us a bundle.
2.) 26 Jan 2025 01:00:40
He's not doing that well. Doesn't start many games, especially against strong opposition in the CL, and most appearances he's made have been from the bench.
Personally, I don't get the hype with Bajcetic. He had an inflated reputation because the Liverpool midfield was, and had been for years, low on technical quality, something he showed glimpses of having, and that turn against Newcastle alone convinced a lot of people he was the answer.
If we get in another starting CM, Bajcetic will need to leave.
3.) 26 Jan 2025 01:12:02
He's due to turn up for his first training session next month.
4.) 26 Jan 2025 07:28:52
Having just watched MOTD just there and to hear the EX ref Keith hacket talking regards Michael Oliver and his performance yesterday and of other referees previously he want all that good when he was about. in all fairness I agree with red card for the arsenal player and before people jump on the band waggon so to speak yes he makes mistakes like we all do and nobody is perfect but for his faults he is the best of a bad bunch now look at all the referees at the top then check thier professions and let me tell you not one is a postman a binman a window cleaner or un employed why is that at that level if your in a high profile job then it stands to reason you will be a good referee now to be fair there are some who are good but come on half of them haven't played the game don't know how to talk to players and maybe even smile and enjoy yourself.
5.) 26 Jan 2025 08:49:07
Baj is having a shocking season for a very poor side. Needs to massively get his arse in gear before the next pre season.
6.) 26 Jan 2025 11:44:44
Sorry hunter but Oliver used to be the best of a bad bunch, he is absolutely horrendous now. Last season he refused to send koavic for 2 dead cert yellow card tackles against arsenal, with Howard Webb saying he didn't want to ruin a big game, but had no problem ruining the same big game this season for kicking a ball away, not to mention his interventions on var against utd on two occasions against city and westham which were horrendous. And his ridiculous decision not award a penalty for us against city last season. He walks around chewing gum thinking his doesn't stink, he's just gone into an arrogant twat making ridiculous decisions. That was never a red card yesterday.
7.) 26 Jan 2025 11:50:42
I think people read too much into loans, he’s been crap this season in truth but Harry Kane looked out of his depth in the championship. Rhian Brewster looked every bit a £25 million player while he was on loan at Swansea. We judge off way too small a sample size these days. What’s important is what effort he puts in to improve over the next couple of years (not getting coached by Lijnders would also help)
8.) 26 Jan 2025 12:59:36
The attitude of Bajetic has apparently been awful, he's been late for training a few times too - got ability, but needs to focus as ability alone is not enough
For the Arsenal game, that was an awful decision.
I'll admit when I first heard about it I just assumed Arsenal fans were crying about just another decision as per this season but by heck it was awful. He clipped the player, not dangerous at all and at the edge of the opposition box so hardly preventing a goal scoring opportunity, an awful decision
Worse so though cos look Oliver may have thought it dangerous play but is VAR not there to tell him no and to look at it again? Though Oliver has gotten brutal, used to be decent but failed to give us a penalty for the karate kick on MacAllister, refused to send Kovacic off against Arsenal for 2 obvious yellows and so many more it's crazy - yet another brutal decision.
Then you see the tackle on Endo yesterday, it got a yellow card. If you didn't know the decisions and were asked to surmise which was a red and which was a yellow would anyone pick the actual way these went? Yet the PGMOL will tell us both are correct? Its absolutely crazy.
9.) 26 Jan 2025 18:41:28
I have a different view, page 79 it said on sky of the premier league rules
His tackle although not over zealous it was 3/ 4 the way up his chinos and not a Grealish shinpad either
So I can see why he gave it
It was however soft but football is about opinions and everyone is different hence why we love the game so much.
19 Jan 2025 13:19:05
I get everyone's frustrations at the lack of transfers and the opinion FSG aren't helping but isn't all possible money tied up in potential contracts for Trent, Mo and Virgil? My question is what are what are Hughes and Edwards doing. If we KNEW for sure Mo was going I'm hopeful that the cash allocated for him. woupd. be spent one someone. So. come. on Hughes bonuses u ARE actually doing something for the salary you get!
06 Jan 2025 13:03:35
Everyone had the right to have a go at Trent yesterday. He was awful, nowhere near good enough. However for Utds 2nd goal Robertson was on his heels, again. Both fullbacks need to wake up. IMO tsimikas needs to start Wednesday and we need to try and buy a left back.
29 Aug 2024 21:40:52
I read somewhere that kelleher has already said he won't sign a new contract which expires in 2026 I believe. So we sell him next season for lot less then currently quoted and Giorgi Mamardashvili comes in, I guess.
27 Aug 2024 21:41:33
Wouldn't want Rabiot anywhere near the club.
26 Aug 2024 16:39:53
I get people worrying about contracts for VVD, TAA and Mo but I don't see it being sorted by Friday. Surely we'll be trying to sort out incoming/ outgoing players this week then get to (hopefully) finalising their futures.
