Apparently Liverpool have signed Akanji from FC Basel, any truth to this? Apparently he's very highly rated in the Swiss league.
1.) 28 Dec 2017 18:10:00
Any truth ed.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool as far as I know have no ability to sign players before the transfer window opens.}
2.) 28 Dec 2017 18:56:50
Can you tell us a bit about him please ed?
{Ed002's Note - He is a CB doing well this season liked by sides from Germany and England. Perhaps not PL ready but one for the future.}

I don't care what we do at the minute, as long as we stay WELL clear of Jack Wilshire.
1.) 05 Feb 2018 17:07:06
But the clubs physio is just sat there with nothing to do now studge has gone and Hendo is back. Don’t you feel sorry for him? He needs work just like the rest of us.
2.) 05 Feb 2018 18:53:04
Spot on, Mikey. We have to keep the physio in a job, really. But seriously, Wiltshere is a HUGE NO.
3.) 05 Feb 2018 19:21:23
Yeah with you on that, take away the fact he’s never fit he’s also vastly overrated for me.
4.) 05 Feb 2018 19:42:10
If you kept him fit he’s a great player, I know it’s an if but isn’t he out of contract in the summer? If he wasn’t demanding huge wages and was happy with a rotational role in the team he could be good business to snap up, especially with can leaving your getting in both Keita and a free Wilshire then in the summer.
5.) 05 Feb 2018 20:00:37
Great player? Jak, you’re delusional lad. He’s had one good game in his career ever. He’s a very average footballer who gets column inches because he is English and plays for a London club, he contributes little, his vision and awareness is non existent and he lacks shooting ability. He can’t tackle and is injury prone. Tell me one reason to waste a salary on him?
6.) 05 Feb 2018 20:04:45
Its all about opinions Mr Dennis boys.
7.) 05 Feb 2018 20:09:39
But like Henderson then.
8.) 05 Feb 2018 20:26:09
Dublingunner, except Henderson can actually tackle and as evidenced by the thunderb*stard he scored against Chelsea, he can shoot.
9.) 05 Feb 2018 20:34:14
Yes I forgot 1 nice goal makes you a great player. Did wilshere not get goal of the season for his goal against Norwich? By your logic that makes him the best player. Not saying wilshere is a class player but take of the blinkers mate Henderson is no world beater either.
10.) 05 Feb 2018 20:44:45
I’m not saying Henderson is, but at least Henderson can actually tackle and shoot, as far as I’m concerned we should be dodging Wilshire because he’s just not very good and won’t improve our midfield, notwithstanding the fact he’s barely ever fit.
11.) 05 Feb 2018 21:09:11
If klopp signs wilshere it confirms my suspicions, Klopp wants the sack. 😂😂.
12.) 05 Feb 2018 21:59:54
Henderson can't shoot. 1 goal a season doesn't count. There are hundreds of players who have scored the odd screamer. I once scored a 30 yarder top corner for the county under14's doesn't mean I can shoot.
13.) 05 Feb 2018 22:50:57
Gunner fan and Jak, Wilshere was well ahead of Hendo in the England setup 4/ 5 years ago and now, Hendo is capt. of LFC and for several games, capt. of England. He blazed past Wilshere since the 13/ 14 season where he was instrumental to us nearly winning the PL. What was Wilshere doing during all that time? Getting injured and messing about smoking at clubs and bars.
Hendo plays a new postion where he is very good when fit and in form. Wilshere is the best of a bad bunch at Arsenal (Xaka? Pls, the guy is useless) who can't tackle and who is the darling of The Whinger. Wilshere is NOT a patch on Hendo and and his ability to score goals is a false argument as his job is to help protect the back four so a goal a season (esp. a candidate for goal of the season last season) is not bad. Matic does not score goals either so again, a non argument. Mascherano scored one goal in his 3 seasons at LFC from DM position so why should there be a diff. measuring stick for Hendo?
14.) 05 Feb 2018 23:43:40
Also notice the moment we fell apart against spurs. just after hendo left the pitch. The guy is massively unmoderated. holds, protect, talks and organises. also has a tremendous passing range. for example him or dier. hendo all day long.
Btw I Wilshire is a good good player. injuries aside he would be established top notch player by now. Why has this forum just become about slagging players off.
15.) 06 Feb 2018 02:43:44
I think wilshere has shown glimpses of his potential this season and I think we could do worse.
16.) 05 Feb 2018 01:57:52
So would you all change your views if Klopp signs him. Klopp like midfielders who can run with the ball. Wilshere is brilliant at it. Lol what did you learn from the signing of Wijnaldum if any? With Klopp in charge anything could be possible!
17.) 06 Feb 2018 10:44:12
Baby, Klopp also like mid's who can press and work hard out of possession. Wilshere ticks NONE of those boxes. If Klopp signs him, fine. It is his cross to bear BUT let's not call Wilshere a great player just cos Klopp may want to sign him. He will have to prove it to us and at Arsenal right now, he has not proven a darn thing.
18.) 06 Feb 2018 21:46:56
Dennis
I ll give you two reasons.
1. We signed Wijnaldum
2. We signed AOC
There is a very good chance we might have sign Jack. He runs with the ball and Klopp like runners!
19.) 06 Feb 2018 22:03:36
Dennis it’s abojt opinions I gave mine calmly while your throwing to scream urs down everyone’s throat, we get it your not a fan of his, I personally think he has some good qualities as a player and if he put together a long run of being fit he might prove some people wrong, hey he might not either and might prove me wrong but sure what can u do that’s football!
20.) 07 Feb 2018 01:09:47
When Wilshere was a 18/ 19 year old prospect, he was a creative young player with the determination to get to every ball and an eye for a pass. Since then he has not improved at all, has been physically set back by his injuries, shown a complete inability to learn anything that will improve his game at all or protect himself from injuries and demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that he has no intention of ever living like an athlete.
15 Jan 2018 17:04:30
Evening Eds, any truth to the Gelson Martins rumours circling round?
{Ed002's Note - As I said before, if Salah is leaving it sense.}
1.) 15 Jan 2018 17:23:35
In that case, Salah stays.
2.) 15 Jan 2018 17:41:20
Salah's going nowhere, i think its Sporting trying to get interest in their player.
3.) 15 Jan 2018 17:56:49
There would be nothing wrong with having both salah and martins in the squad on my opinion, but it seems sporting would be looking for a very handsome pay packet for a not so established star. Salah is comfortable all across the front line and we should try and forget these fixed positions of where a player begins the game at kick off. For me Martins is the real deal and would definitely excel with us.
Really hope we can get someone in for the front 3 because the drop in quality when one of salah mane or firmino is missing is tremendous, we cannot expect them to play every single game till the end of the season. Lallana and Solanke are fine players but one is still trying to regain fitness and the other is still inexperienced, we need to be patient with them. Ings is in same boat as Lallana and Sturridge will most probs be a goner. The ox doesn't perform as well in the front 3 and is currently having his hest games in the centre.
We could really do with anotber player with proven quality, it is a squad game.
28 Dec 2017 22:21:12
Ed1, do you reckon there's any more business to be done in January? It's just I've been hearing Goretzka is very keen on a move to Liverpool.
{Ed001's Note - it is unlikely, FFP will make it difficult for much more to be done.}
1.) 29 Dec 2017 09:12:29
Regarding ffp ed, if we were to make any signing similar to the Keita one would that only affect expenditure in the following season or when the deal is struck?
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - The money counts in the season it is due and paid. So for Keita, part this season (the additional sum) and part when the transfer fee is paid.}
2.) 29 Dec 2017 09:47:23
So out best route for signings would be securing free transfers for the summer? Would that be correct?
If so there are four players out there that would be decent buys ( or all of them obviously) .
Gimenez.
De Brij.
Meyer.
Goretzka.
{Ed002's Note - I have certainly never said that. Whatever clubs do they need to comply with the FFP regulations - and they cover money spent, the amount of money the owners can put in to the club to help out with transfer and wages.}
3.) 29 Dec 2017 10:11:14
Cheers Ed.
4.) 29 Dec 2017 10:13:41
I'd take Gimenez and Goretzka from that list. The VVD fee would balance out if we got two brilliant players on pre contracts.
But there seems to be a lot of interest from many top sides in those two players. Klopp will do well to get those two signed up.
5.) 29 Dec 2017 10:22:58
How do people always come up with the 'this will mean that' theory? You can't guess what will happen. The eds know how it works and mostly where interest lies etc but can't give answers based on ifs, buts and maybes. I'm surprised the straw industry has any left to sell with the amount people are clutching!
