Hello eds good morning, I take it the Mathiges delight rowdy spelling I know, paper rumours are total crap?
I wouldn't say we need him at all.
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - I have no idea what you mean!}
1.) 15 Jun 2022 12:17:52
We have been linked with De Ligt in the tabloids today.
Given the CB options we already have, and the greater need to refresh in midfield, it does sound like garbage, but I think Snoots wanted to check with the Eds whether there was any truth to the rumour.
{Ed002's Note - Matthijs de Ligt (CB) Wants to move to Barcelona but it would need to be an exchange type deal and seems most unlikely. Discussed with Chelsea during a meeting over other players but his termination clause and wages if asked in full would kill any chance of a move - but don't discount an offer being made. Bayern Munich have a declared interest as a Sule replacement but will not pay the asking price. Real Madrid interest only works if they will accept one or more players in exchange. I suspect he may well move in the summer with the preferred Barcelona struggling to fund the move over other planned activity and my guess is that Chelsea will make two significant CB purchases and he could be one. PSG provide an option - but that is depending on departures. Manchester United would be a less likely option and are interested in others. As a wildcard, Manchester City who may have a significant departure. Juventus will push for a new contract but the two parties are far from agreeing terms.}
2.) 15 Jun 2022 12:32:31
I will rephrase that ed with better spelling, are the rumours of Matthijs de Ligt being a transfer we are working on just paper talk?
I'm assuming it is as we are well stocked.
Had to Google his name this time lol.

Thanks Ed002.
Thanks Ed002.
4.) 15 Jun 2022 13:45:12
I've somehow managed to decipher that as Matthijs de Ligt. Assume the papers have linked us with buying him.
Don't worried Eds i can cover this one . NO!
31 Jan 2022 22:59:13
BBC news reports deal complete for Carlalhio of Fulham, medical to be completed in next hour or so.
{Ed0666's Note - yep indeed.
12 Jan 2022 14:52:21
The rags are saying 25mill bid likely for Toni Kroos, at 32 years old from Liverpool, sure they have two tombola and just take a name and figure from each one.
1.) 12 Jan 2022 15:24:32
Seems like the most ridiculous link so far this window. We need more legs, not less.
2.) 12 Jan 2022 19:05:32
Definitely silly season.
26 Aug 2021 13:27:05
Apparently Lucas Ocampos wife has posted you never walk alone on her Instagram, papers now saying he is cast in stone bang on for a move to Liverpool, we ever even had scouts look at him?
1.) 26 Aug 2021 13:43:57
Hope not.
2.) 26 Aug 2021 13:55:07
kwkhong why do you hope not.
3.) 26 Aug 2021 13:56:15
It would suggest to me that Jota's future is seen down the middle if we are interested in Ocampos as he is a left winger or left midfielder. He's actually a pretty good player, but he is more of a playmaker who cuts inside than a flying winger so doubt he'd match Mane's goal output.
Having said that, Jota will score more goals than Firmino at the cost of build up play involvement, so maybe a player like Ocampos to gradually phase out Mane, makes more sense in terms of maintaining balance in the next evolution of our attack. A front 3 of Ocampos, Jota and Salah would be pretty damn good! Then you'd imagine the club has hopes that Gordon or Elliott are ready to replace Salah in around 2024/ 5.
It will be interesting to see if there is anything in this rumour, but he us certainly a good player. He also defends really hard from the front which we know Klopp likes. Certainly a better option than Coutinho due to being younger with a very good injury record.
4.) 26 Aug 2021 14:36:21
Maybe he’s being brought in to play on the right? Play in the same way that Salah does? Or cover the left or right depending on what we need out of him on that particular day?
5.) 26 Aug 2021 14:36:22
If Lucas is brought in to push Firmino, he's not really an upgrade. He's 27 but would like to loan pipco, save some ammo next summer.
6.) 26 Aug 2021 15:20:12
Why would he be brought in to push firmino exactly? Ocampos play predominantly on the left but sometimes on the right.
7.) 26 Aug 2021 15:31:20
Shaqiri is a better footballer than Ocampos in my opinion. If we are going to replace mediocre with mediocre, we may aswell have kept shaqiri around. It’s not like Ocampos is young potential either.
8.) 26 Aug 2021 15:39:46
Didn't Ed002 say that Sevilla were interested in Minamino? Maybe something's going on with that.
9.) 26 Aug 2021 15:48:54
Even if you do think Shaqiri is better than Ocampos, it's irrelevant. Ocampos has missed 23 games through injury in his entire senior career which spans 10 years. Shaqiri has missed 40 games in the last 2 seasons.
10.) 26 Aug 2021 15:04:47
He’d be a good signing, can play left or right, tends to play left side of the field but is right footed is he not? Has quick feet, decent finishing, seems to get good numbers wherever he goes. Be interesting to see the numbers being discussed as he is 27 so I’m surprised we’re looking at him if the rumours are true, definitely adds some flair.
Is he what we need? I don’t know I’m not Klopp but I’d prefer him over traore or sarr.
11.) 26 Aug 2021 17:21:29
It’s certainly a step up from Traore.
12.) 26 Aug 2021 20:28:48
Ed002's silence on this one is intriguing.
{Ed002's Note - The site has been trashed on the transfer page by the Champions League noises. Once that works through to page 2 then I will return and try and explain what is going on.}
13.) 27 Aug 2021 05:19:00
He'd be very decent if Origi is leaving, works very hard. kind of like a dogged player and very good dribbler with end product in my opinion. He might be 27 but he actually just turned 27 last month. I bet if he was 26, most would think it's a very good age. For the right price, I'd take him for sure (if we needed a player in his position) .
14.) 27 Aug 2021 07:42:27
OK, look forward to it Ed002, thanks.
23 Aug 2021 07:13:54
Paper talk saying we showing interest in Marcus Thuram, the club hasn't been looking at him eds?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - They will be teasing you I am afraid.}
1.) 23 Aug 2021 10:48:25
Didn't he suffer a serious knee injury recently?
{Ed077's Note - he did come off in the match against Leverkusen on Saturday with a suspected knee injury. Not sure how long he will be out of action for though. Unconfirmed report is he'll be out for 2 months.}

In regards to the position Otavio plays, as per transfer markets profile on him.
97 games at right midfield, 84 games at center midfield.
So seems mostly plays as a midfielder.
{Ed0666's Note - thanks for that mate
1.) 26 Jun 2022 23:00:43
No problem ed, happy to help.
2.) 27 Jun 2022 08:13:13
He could literally play anywhere ahead of Fabinho in our team, except probably as an out and out striker.
3.) 27 Jun 2022 10:00:21
Not seen him play but if he is capable of driving from midfield and beating a player as others have said then he is exactly what we need.
We don’t have anyone in the middle of the park other than Thiago who doesn’t really have the legs who can beat a man and unlock a team for us.
4.) 27 Jun 2022 10:33:30
Not sure if he's one of the reliable local journos, but Neil Jones has said there's no truth in the Otavio link.
Perhaps Porto's attempt to strengthen Porto's negotiating hand with Leeds.
5.) 27 Jun 2022 12:33:53
Or we can't find a buyer for Ox so unable to bring in a similar versatile midfielder to replace him in the squad. The problem with Otavio may be 3rd party ownership which means he won't be cheap.
6.) 27 Jun 2022 13:26:24
Neil Jones coming out now saying he's been told he's not a target and never has been. The twists and turns of the transfer window?.
21 Jun 2022 23:06:04
BBC is reporting a 15.5 million fee has been agreed with Monaco for Minamino, best of luck to him.
{Ed0666's Note - indeed. I hope he goes onto have a stellar career. That’s a 7 mill profit and he played a vital part in our success last season. Good luck to the guy and a shame we didn’t play him more. I really hoped he would come on in the final against Madrid and cause some havoc
1.) 21 Jun 2022 23:23:03
Jota should have started the final Ed0666. Klopp got it wrong playing 3 wingers.
{Ed0666's Note - Jota shouldn’t start a car let alone the biggest game of the season mate. I would have gone Diaz, Bobby, Mo but where all experts with the benefit of hindsight
2.) 21 Jun 2022 23:44:20
Best of luck to him, I hope he has a great career. I think the weight of playing at one of the top clubs was too much for him unfortunately. Whilst he did score some vital goals for us this season especially, let’s be honest we never did see the Minamino for us that played so well against us for Salzburg.
3.) 21 Jun 2022 23:45:00
All the best to Taki and hope he tears up that French League.
4.) 22 Jun 2022 01:19:46
I was saying before the final that Mo should have been benched. But oh well!
I’m genuinely disappointed for Taki. I think this is the few binders Klopp has and that is funnelling his trust you a fixed group of players as the season goes on. But from a fans perspective I’m just thinking there isn’t much more you’d expect from Taki in his role. Dude played well and bagged himself double digit goals. I have a feeling that he was under-utilised. Wish him all the best.
5.) 22 Jun 2022 02:59:42
Like Big Div, thanks for the memories Taki - some crucial goals to get us into the two domestic finals last season.
Hopefully onto bigger and better things with your career and not the worst place on the planet to live either ?.
6.) 22 Jun 2022 06:51:05
I love Monaco if there’s one place I’d like to play other than Liverpool it would be there. Good look Taki have a ball lad.
7.) 22 Jun 2022 05:29:58
Jota shouldn't start a car. Agree or disagree that's a funny line Ed and I'm sorry but I'm stealing it for pub arguments.
{Ed0666's Note - it’s all yours pal ?
8.) 22 Jun 2022 07:31:10
I agree fully Faithinworks.
It's a bit of a headscratcher to me why Klopp didn't play him more - he certainly made it count when he did play. I would have kept him for both his versatility and goal returns and gotten Ox out before him.
But I guess Jurgen has well earned the right to make decisions :)
9.) 22 Jun 2022 07:36:30
All the best Mino. He only played the equivalent of 2 league games last season but still managed to notch himself 3 goals.
Him and Origi were important in the early rounds of the cup games against teams like Norwich, Cardiff, Preston and Shrewsbury.
If we get the luck of the green next season in the early cup draws then I’d imagine it’ll be a great opportunity for Kaide Gordon to get minutes and goals plus whoever is 4th / . 5th choice forwards be it Jota or Bobby or even ox on the right if he’s still here.
10.) 22 Jun 2022 07:26:02
"Jota shouldn't start a car"boom quote of the year Ed0666?.
{Ed0666's Note - that ones just for you mate…
11.) 22 Jun 2022 08:11:10
So its jota's turn to get **** . its like the blame a player bandwagon has to roll on! personal opinions and all that but at least he knows where the net is. A reminder. the hardest thing in football is to score goals. He covers all 3 forward positions, whilst his build up play can be hit n miss he has ability and his direct running causes problems for teams. A good squad option.
As for minamino, greatly underused. definitely a trick missed by klopp to see how he could start at 9 with our more regular starters like mane, salah alongside him. Anyway, good luck to him. love Monaco the place.
12.) 22 Jun 2022 08:17:45
Mo benched for the Champions League final?.

15.) 22 Jun 2022 08:51:23
Worst is apart from scoring Mo was easily the best player on the pitch by a country mile too.
16.) 22 Jun 2022 09:11:49
Exactly, JH. Absolute porkies. As for Mino, Klopp should have played him more and I mentioned that even before the season started. All the best to him. Never complained. Never sulked. Kept himself motivated and performed near every time he was picked last season. Peace and Love, Mino!
17.) 22 Jun 2022 09:37:35
I’d imagine Klopp played Mino alongside Mane and Salah lots in training and just didn’t like what he saw.
If a manager doesn’t pick a player there’s no other reason really as it’s not like Mino was a trouble maker.
Towards the end of his Saints loan he wasn’t starting games there. If he can’t get starts at Saints then are we surprised he doesn’t start ahead of our forwards.
If Mino had come In and taken Bobbys place then he would have been the new whipping boy.
18.) 22 Jun 2022 09:38:48
Best wishes to Minamino and thanks for the good performances each time he was picked. A true professional and a very underated player. Wish we could've kept him and played him a lot more.
19.) 22 Jun 2022 10:11:52
Would have benched Mo far sooner than the CL Final lol.
20.) 22 Jun 2022 12:57:52
Mo Needs to sort himself out! I predict he will have an amazing season maybe golden boot or he will not get his big shiny move. If he has another stinker it might be back to Chelsea on a free.
21.) 22 Jun 2022 13:23:48
Another stinker? jeeeeeeeeeeez. He was jaded and klopp should have rested him a lot more. Ungrateful ''fans'' really have no clue what they're talking about. No wonder his agent wants him out of here. He probably reads a lot of the nonsense bull hate he gets. Pathetic that top scorer of the PL and 2nd in assists only to trent had a stinker.
22.) 22 Jun 2022 14:09:05
There are reasons why Minamino didn't play more games. To find out why you will need to ask Jurgen.
23.) 22 Jun 2022 08:23:46
You should copyright that quote Ed0666 it's a classic brother ?.
{Ed0666's Note - it will be the first thing on my to do list today mate!
24.) 22 Jun 2022 17:50:24
But Salah might say "I don't want to go to Chelsea".
14 Jun 2022 20:27:30
Have to say welcome to the club Mr Nunez, very excited to see you at work wearing the fabled colours of LFC.
05 Jun 2022 22:47:03
Reported news that milner has signed a year's contract extension at a considerable wage cut, klopp wants him still in the team for the next season.
1.) 06 Jun 2022 07:29:39
I’d imagine Milner is great to have in and around the squad. He can also fill in, in a number of positions also I’ve heard he’s the main man to keep the squad in check.
2.) 06 Jun 2022 09:40:11
When Jurgen was appointed as LFC manager one of the first things he said in the following days that Milly has managerial potential, to be a very top successful football manager the first thing you have to is "Brains" Milly has an abundance of Brains as i think Jurgen recognised this instantly, he also has undoubted football experience, does Steven Gerrard have the Brain capability i am not so sure.
I think Jurgen sees Milly as the ideal person to take over from him?
05 Jun 2022 15:51:48
Paper talk we are interested in Gavi of Barcelona, have to say they live in laa laa land when it comes to money.
The deal they want him to sign supposedly has a one billion pound release clause lol.
1.) 05 Jun 2022 16:20:27
OP, that link has been in the news for months now. It’s as worthless as a 3 dollar bill.
2.) 05 Jun 2022 17:20:04
Three dollar bills are usually worth $3 Oli, plenty of countries use ‘dollars’ outside of US and most make a $3 bill for the tourist market.
But yeah, that is some old click bait!
22 Jun 2022 11:52:38
And then some, don't want him anywhere near our club, not good enough in all kinds of ways.
21 Jun 2022 17:14:29
He could be the calculated gamble signing for this season, kinda like Shaqiri was, was signed knowing he had a couple of poor areas to his game but he still contributed to the titles we got.
15 Jun 2022 12:32:31
I will rephrase that ed with better spelling, are the rumours of Matthijs de Ligt being a transfer we are working on just paper talk?

07 Jun 2022 21:55:18
Would that be a Premier league club by any chance Ed02?
{Ed002's Note - It is nothing to do with Liverpool.}
07 Jun 2022 21:45:29
If they are desperate to keep hold of nunez, it's likely a tactic to scare off clubs from going in for him properly.
And if a club is stupid enough to go to that price for him, to take them to the cleaners.
{Ed002's Note - No. They now have an offer of cash plus a player they are considering.}
26 Jun 2022 23:00:43
No problem ed, happy to help.
05 Jun 2022 16:12:27
Agree with you ed1 he has had long enough, we need a better quality of player taking that squad space, nowhere near good enough for me.
Is keita going to push Thiago out of a starting position.
30 May 2022 15:20:58
I was thinking just yesterday what's the negativity towards jota for, if anyone needs to post better numbers it's Diaz for me, of course this being his first 6 months at the club.
I do expect to see an improvement after pre season is complete.
29 May 2022 16:11:27
Agree with you vvv we need a goal scorer, one that's the finished article to replace him.
With City getting Haaland, even more so.
Diaz gets a lot of love and he is a good player, but for me his goal scoring numbers need to improve if he's to take Mane's squad position.
29 May 2022 09:31:26
So is he looking at leaving? Did it have that kind of tone to it?
