Seen a couple of reports today that we are interested in Barella from inter in the summer and also Marmoush from Frankfurt - is there anything in these or just two more added to a list of all the players signing for LFC?
{Ed002's Note - Nicolo Barella (CM/DM) Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have had approaches turned away. Don't be surprised of a significant offer from Manchester City or PSG or a further approach from Real Madrid - but Inter don't wish to sell and would no doubt demand something towards €100M or so. Liverpool or Spurs may show an interest but Inter have not been approached by either although they have sent scouts. The player does not wish to leave and is expected to sign a new contract. Long term interest of Chelsea went with the player wanting to stay in Italy - although they could yet try to persuade him otherwise and have spoken with Ale Beltrami who acts as an intermediary offering up Lukaku as part of the deal last year to no avail. Beltrami has also spoken with Manchester City directly. Interest of Manchester United and Newcastle has gone.
Omar Marmoush (S/LW) Eintracht Frankfurt have no intention of selling the the right footed versatile forward although West Ham has a declared interest. His agent says there is still interest from Newcastle, Spurs and Brentford. Apparently, noted by Liverpool scouts when were watching another player late last season. Chelsea have sent scouts.}

Interesting question. Would have to say yes to that deal bc a. it would be good to get something (anything) for Trent and b. It would be a relief to have Salah’s replacement sorted.

In the nicest of ways, who are the ED’s or is this the mystery of the site? It amazes me how accurate they are, as I’m sat here with sky sports news on and refreshing this page, where do they get there information from, is it links? Contacts? Or are they in the business and go as ED’s to keep identity hidden ?
Really appreciate all their input, it must be so frustrating at times especially around this time of year ??.

Bring on tonight! Looking forward to the new style of ball ? just for banter as I love Nunez but with MA saying that the finishing was poor last night because of the ball - Nunez will bag 5 tonight which will hopefully stop anything slightly negative about LFC being his fault ?.
1.) 08 Jan 2025 16:02:56
Even if he scored 10 mate people would still complain about him missing an 11th sitter.
2.) 08 Jan 2025 16:13:24
I'm pretty sure people would settle for him scoring just 1 goal to be honest.
3.) 08 Jan 2025 16:19:17
I mean I would just like him not to attempt to get a red card.
4.) 08 Jan 2025 16:24:54
Exactly Livered 1 would just be perfect.
5.) 08 Jan 2025 16:32:26
Apparently an appeal has gone in for Nunez 1 game
Suspension.
6.) 08 Jan 2025 16:40:27
I find it extraordinary how he's managed to pick up 5 bookings when he's barely played. It's obviously because he gives 100% every second he's on the pitch (said with just a sprinkle of sarcasm)
{Ed025's Note - after that latest challenge he should be really facing a 3 game ban imo Rome, which would have helped Slot i imagine mate..
7.) 08 Jan 2025 16:47:44
I'm not arguing, Ed025. He doesn't appear to be learning.
{Ed025's Note - i think thats just his robust style Rome, its all cut and thrust with Darwin and his lack of composure especially in front of goal means he may well start fewer games than he wants to mate..
8.) 08 Jan 2025 17:16:23
Do you honestly think the fanbase are HARD on Nunez Salah?
9.) 08 Jan 2025 17:38:30
I know you asked Salah the question, Florian, but I'll give you my take on it. At the ground he has 100% support with fans singing his name, though, to be fair, there's not many words to learn! Regards to on here, as I hardly use any other form of social media, I would say opinion is divided. I want him to do well, to shut me up, but I don't think he will ever cut it. I think we will end up cutting our losses in the summer.
10.) 08 Jan 2025 17:23:53
If Nunez scored 10 tonight us fans wouldn’t have time to moan as we are all about Musk and pop up ads these days.
Nuñez is public enemy number 3. Nobody cares.
11.) 08 Jan 2025 17:32:06
It was always a matter of time before the fanbase turned on Darwin. I thought he had played pretty well until the Newcastle game. Before that, he was excellent against Real and his City cameo. That performance on Tyneside was a really bad one and seems to have depleted his confidence entirely. He is still trying but you can tell every touch is off now.
It seems like all parties are resigned to him moving on now. A shame as I have been and still am a big fan of him. For now, we need him to just stay available and keep trying for the team/ squad. You cannot fault his effort and passion.

14.) 08 Jan 2025 18:19:15
Pelican I mentioned this the other day but there is a huge difference between being critical of one of our players underperforming and turning on them.
Nunez is one of the most supported players at home games. Regardless of what he does the crowd are alway behind him.
15.) 08 Jan 2025 18:24:54
Whatever anyone says about that challenge on De Ligt, at least Nunez was showing some spirit and fight. More than can be said for some on that pitch.
16.) 08 Jan 2025 18:25:00
Nunez isn’t good enough. Just look at Isak. We bought the wrong forward.
17.) 08 Jan 2025 18:27:45
I won't be watching the game, tonight, as I'll be focusing my attention on stopping my pesky pop up ads. Alongside my solicitor, who's drafting a writ to Ed01.
18.) 08 Jan 2025 18:36:56
I don’t think supporters will turn on him, because they rarely do that with any of our players. What they will do, like with others in this present squad who may not cut it at the highest level or suit our system, is take a view at some point and almost be indifferent whether they stay or go.
I’d like all of our players to be an amazing success, and be an 8/ 10 or above each week. If they were we’d either win the league each year or finish in the top few which is more important to me than the individual. No one would moan if he scored a few, it could reignite him because he’s got all the raw attributes, and we need him scoring.
19.) 08 Jan 2025 18:39:31
HessleRedTom, you just reminded me of one of my favourite tales regarding Alan Kennedy. Apparently at half time, when he made his debut for us, he was so bad, Paisley turned to Joe Fagan and said "I think they shot the wrong Kennedy". I'm not sure how true it is, but why let the truth get in the way of a brilliant quip!
{Ed025's Note - love it Rome..
20.) 08 Jan 2025 18:40:51
VictorVaughan, I agree, we were crying out to go down to 10 men.
21.) 08 Jan 2025 18:44:49
More concerned how Arne will react if Spuds set up like Amorim on Sunday, after Carragher doing an eight minute slot on Sly Sports, highlighting how Amorim nullified Liverpools front four press, by utd goalkeeper kicking everything long, no playing out from the back and going over liverpools front four press aerially, so instead of our front four facing utds goal, they were turned purposely to face our goal.
"Well Done" Jamie hope ye never missed anything out for a re-edit. In the old days he would have been put up against the wall for betraying his own club, and I thought Neville did not like LFC.
22.) 08 Jan 2025 19:34:35
Doubt Arnes worried about Carragher killing his tactics.
22 Dec 2024 18:30:31
Just heard that VVD, Trent, and Salah are all doing the post match interview ?.
13 Nov 2024 11:38:25
Liverpool have just put a round table video on YouTube with Ali, Mo, and Robbo - really enjoyable watch but what comes out of that is how much Mo loves our club and City - the inspiration he gives the young lads and new players coming in sounds unreal - I know you can’t do loyalty in football but his performances this year show that we should give him a contract so he has the chance to break as many individual records as possible just to cement him as one of the best players the premier league has seen! Worth a watch if you have a spare 28 mins - it’s just a shame that all good things have to come to an end and seeing these players who have given us so much joy leave in the years to come is gutting!
1.) 13 Nov 2024 12:24:45
On back of his performances in the games so far this season he deserves a 2-3 year deal. He’s learnt to adapt his game as he’s getting older to still be a massive impact.
2.) 13 Nov 2024 13:07:23
If Salah continues the way he is going (as well as VVD btw), the club is going to have a hard time explaining to the fan base as to why they let both Salah and VVD go.
Cos at that point, both players (Trent is gone, imo) will have the leverage for a new deal and have all the cards on their side. The club will either have to pay up or face the fan bas's wrath should they go.
3.) 13 Nov 2024 13:50:12
Interesting to hear what peoples thoughts are on whos the most important of the 3 to retain.
I'd love to see all 3 stay but it could be argued that whilst Trent has the biggest sale value to retain he's also questionably the easiest to replace in the fact that we already have Bradley in the squad.
4.) 13 Nov 2024 14:29:44
@Sofa, I just watched the roundtable vid you mentioned and it was an absolute banger. Some great memories were shared in this video and they even went back to Robbo's, Ali's and Salah's younger years when they started their journey in football before they came to us.
And If anyone wants to know why Mo Salah has the mentality, focus and obscene professionalism he possesses, just give it a watch. You'll be amazed. Top guys, these lads and really great human beings.
5.) 13 Nov 2024 14:58:04
Just watched it as well. Agree, Mo is a mentality monster. If I had to keep 2 out of the 3 I would keep Mo and VVD. Still hoping we keep all of them.
6.) 13 Nov 2024 15:02:11
@sofa fan, i disagree. Kissing the badge and saying " i have been childhood fan of xxx club" are the definitive expressions of love and loyalty for the club. Both which were never done by Salah. He only shows off his abs when he scored. Hence no go for me.
7.) 13 Nov 2024 16:44:21
So the club just pays them what they want and for how long they want it to not incur the fans' wrath?
The fans that have no ideas how much they want and for how long?
The fans that also wanted to sell them so the club could receive a fee?
The same fans that criticised their manager for his loyalty?
You couldn't make this up ?.
8.) 13 Nov 2024 17:23:15
At times last season he looked on a decline big time, however this season he's been superb so far for us, some games he's none existent then Bam. Easily gets a 2 year contract.
9.) 13 Nov 2024 17:45:03
He gets a 2 year contract if he’s not asking for something ridiculous. Unless you fancy paying his wages Magico?
10.) 13 Nov 2024 18:02:31
I think because he hasn’t kissed the badge he gets more respect from me - he is a foreign player so the whole “I have supported this club since I was a little lad” is a joke - to many sports where players kiss one badge then move to another and kiss that one, I’m confident to say that’s a joke - he is the first in, last out, he is asking previous successful managers how he can become great and done this wearing our badge - the dedication he shows to be a professional (selfishly or for the team) he is doing it in Liverpool colours.
I seem to wake up each day feeling differently about who I wouldn’t mind going or they can’t possibly leave and it’s probably all based on the last performance - the old saying your only as good as your last game stick in my mind. Today it’s Mo and VVD that I feel we can’t let go, yesterday it was Trent and VVD tomorrow will probably be different but for what Mo has done for the club and how he still speaks about how successful he wants to be with Liverpool, I don’t want him to go at the end of the season.
11.) 13 Nov 2024 18:10:48
The difference between Mo's situation this time and last time seems to be that it appears that he really really wants to stay this time. Maybe he has realised now that he has already given us 8 great years, he could potentially give us 2-3 more and move above everyone bar Rush and Shearer in the record books. And possibly he has fewer options in terms of moving because of his age.
Virgil i see no reason to not renew. He has shown no signs of physical decline in a position that doesn't require that much pace either. Right now it looks like he could be the best defender in the world for a few more years atleast.
Unfortunately, Trent seems the most dicey at this point. He has been much better defensively, but this system is not built around him unlike Klopp's teams. So he seems a bit less fundamental as compared to previous years. It would hurt a lot if he does leave though, and I just wish we sign all three.
12.) 13 Nov 2024 18:13:50
And what do you think he's worth a week then pecker?
13.) 13 Nov 2024 18:39:29
Great video thank you for recommending it!
14.) 13 Nov 2024 19:08:59
Not for nothing but declan rice kissed the irish badge when he played for us. Yeah its different I suppose.
15.) 14 Nov 2024 12:38:10
Kissing the badge means nothing to me personally. Salah never kissed the badge and he's still hear a decade after. Other players have kissed the badge at LFC and bolted at the first or second opportunity they got. Not sure why this act proves anything, IMO.
20 Oct 2024 18:52:52
3 points and we move on! Well done lads - not the best watch but if we can do the same next week I’ll be very happy! Can’t stand Arsenal!
Want peoples opinion when slot came in it seemed everyone thought we needed a LCB, DM and RW having watched the start of the season in my opinion this has changed.
We do need to look at a VVD replacement but he has been excellent this season so would offer contract.
For me it would be a LB - I think we need a midfielder, not a no6 but there is a drop of when Grav and Macca aren’t together and I would be after a no10 someone who can create as we seem to be missing that at the moment.
As I have shown in prior posts I am wrong the majority of the time just interested if opinion is the same.
1.) 20 Oct 2024 19:23:07
I actually thought that it was a great watch, played like a game of chess. Two tightly matched teams but Liverpool shading the finer margins. I like watching games, where I don't feel like I am at risk of a heart attack, several times throughout the game. This was our first real test in the Premier League, against an excellent Chelsea team, who will finish top four, I believe. Great result and great performance.
{Ed025's Note - i thought it was as boring as hell to be honest Kloppite, your analogy to a chess game was about right i would say mate, very slow and laborious game with passing for passing,s sake...most of them backwards, a win is a win though and i suppose thats the aim even though it was a very hard watch for the neutral..
2.) 20 Oct 2024 19:25:19
Sofa- I think the club played it absolutely on point, come January slott will have had more than enough real time to access the squad in it’s entirety and I’m certain that improvements/ additions will be made accordingly
Well done Hughes/ edwards with the appointment of slott.
3.) 20 Oct 2024 20:12:14
Ed025 - if Liverpool win stuff playing the way we do, who cares?
{Ed025's Note - yeah i suppose you are right Tom but as a football purist i prefer to be entertained mate, its a means to an end of course but i must say i preferred the cut and thrust high octane football of the Klopp era myself...but each to their own..
4.) 20 Oct 2024 20:18:18
Check Mate game over, and Still Top of the League.
{Ed025's Note - not quite mate just yet KT but you are going well..
5.) 20 Oct 2024 20:45:00
I think with tv deals at an all time record high and this new found push to eradicate illegal streaming i think football is at a bit of a cross roads because the more football goes towards teams not playing entertaining football and more setting up like Guardiola clowns then the more chance there is of people turning off.
6.) 20 Oct 2024 20:35:27
You’re not wrong ed25. But that’s the modern game. Jurgan has gone now to light up the league. Spurs are an exciting watch but average players.
City are the most boring team ever. Then you’ve got Arsenal who are Mark Hughes’ Stoke. Liverpool pass the ball around the back all game.
Then we say the atmosphere at stadiums aren’t good enough ?.
{Ed025's Note - yeah i will have that LFC8, i thought the crowd were very subdued today mate but i suppose there was not much in that game to get you off your seat..
7.) 20 Oct 2024 22:13:20
I think that when you take the ‘big’ teams particularly the likes of us, City, Arsenal (at the moment) there is so much at stake that the primary objective is to try and not lose and to pinch a goal if there’s a chance. It’s not, generally, free flowing, entertaining stuff but it can be interesting watching teams at least try to get the points (like us today) . It’s very rare that teams at the top play well against each other because the teams set up to nullify their opponents.
We’ve been very lucky for the past few years with Jurgen Norbert Klopp, he saw it differently and we got to watch a team that (very nearly) always went for it. Of course it didn’t always work but it was fun watching us try.
{Ed025's Note - i think everyone liked watching that Klopp side WDW, probably deserved to win more but the ride was enthralling mate..
8.) 20 Oct 2024 22:27:53
If you think that was a hard watch for the neutral try watching any Everton game from the last 5 years as a neutral.
{Ed025's Note - i could not agree more Thunderbird and that alone makes me an authority on boring one dimensional football mate...so i know what in talking about..
9.) 20 Oct 2024 22:32:15
WDW 100% agree. That’s the point I was trying to make above and over on the match posts but you’ve made it better.
10.) 21 Oct 2024 07:25:28
I actually think we're well stacked in the no10 department Sofa_Fan. We have Szobo, Elliott to come back, Jones an Mac10. So that's 4 potential players for 1 position and 2 dedicated players for 1 position.
11.) 21 Oct 2024 09:30:05
Exactly, WDW. I have no idea why people suddenly expect these types of games esp. v Chelsea with whom we have a much stronger rivalry than we have with City over the past 20 years, to be no holds barred, swash-buckling stuff. DO people not realise that half of our games over time have ended in draws. Klopp did his thing his way cos that is who and what he is and won the lot doing so. In fact, there were tons of games I wished he played this way to have further control of proceedings. Alas, it sisn't happen. Those days are gone now.
Slot likes to entertain as well but he will not go all out so the other big team can pick us off at will on the counter. That's not his thing. Oh and btw, Klopp played the exact same way vs Spurs in the CL final and what was the score? Exactly. What many call boring (teams are not obliged to entertain me or you at their own expense in big games either, @Ed25), others find entertaining cos they love tactical chess matches. To each his own.
01 Sep 2024 18:05:27
Please please please give Trent a long contract and keep him at LFC for as long as possible!
1.) 01 Sep 2024 18:17:58
Did Salah just say this was his last season in his interview?
{Ed014's Note - yes because no one at the club as spoken to him
2.) 01 Sep 2024 18:20:32
They might want to sort out a contract for Salah too, he just did an interview with Sky and how many times did he say that the club haven’t spoke to him yet about a contract? He sounds like he wants to stay and we should be paying what he wants, we paid peanuts for Salah and will cost an absolute fortune to replace if at all he can be replaced.
3.) 01 Sep 2024 18:34:09
Salah has just stated the club have not offered him a contract and it's up to them if he stays. Again, what's the hold up in replacing someone scoring and assisting 30 plus a season? Disgraceful.
4.) 01 Sep 2024 18:34:44
He was much better defensively today. Going forward has never been an issue, absolute class act going forward.
5.) 01 Sep 2024 18:46:28
Do you think it’s a bit disrespectful for no conversations to have had happened yet with Virg or Salah? It’s worrying that these players are coming out so publicly saying no contact has been made, all 3 need new contracts.
6.) 01 Sep 2024 18:55:07
Salah can say the club haven't spoken to him as much as he wants but if your salary demand sare 600k per week why would the club speak to you?
{Ed001's Note - he hasn't made a demand. The club haven't even approached him about a contract, so how could he have made a demand for anything?}
7.) 01 Sep 2024 18:57:35
Disrespectful? It's disgraceful, fans and the likes of voices such as carragher should be asking why Edwards and Hughes haven't got those contracts sorted. The pressure should now be directed towards the journey men.
8.) 01 Sep 2024 18:59:28
Hasn't he also said let's enjoy this season? We've just cruised past United away and we can't even join it!
The three players seem happy enough and the manager seems happy with them. I think we need to be patient and enjoy the good days without worrying too much about what will happen in the future.
9.) 01 Sep 2024 19:23:15
Really poor attitude from the club. Van den Berg alluded to the communication being non-existent as well. Not how a professional club should be run imo.
10.) 01 Sep 2024 19:28:01
Trent is off mate going to madrid at the end of season.
11.) 01 Sep 2024 19:36:52
Look I get people love Salah but if he asked for 500k a week for the next five years would anyone agree?
He must be asking a lot for the club to not offer because if his ask was normal the club would have agreed already.
12.) 01 Sep 2024 19:53:02
Surely it’s the responsibility of the club to say Mo/ VVD we want you to stay for example two years but we want to offer you this, that’s the club making an approach to Mo/ VVD for the three contracts to be one of the biggest news story’s this year for the club to not speak to in this case Mo is criminal really. Seen an excuse of the change from Jorg to RH being an excuse you would think everyone coming in be like this is where we stand and what we want not radio silence, I know we pay these players well and they owe us nothing but show a bit of class a bit of respect - that’s my opinion anyway and if they had doubts about Mo from last year just look at his attitude at the start of this year. Ranting online and I could be making mountains out of mole hills from one little interview on sky ? who do I think I am!
13.) 01 Sep 2024 19:58:36
My point ed was that everyone is saying sign him up and yet nobody knows what his demands are. Perhaps they should wait to see what the dmands are before saying sign him up.
14.) 01 Sep 2024 19:23:59
Ed01 it’s utter negligence by the club, both by this and the last regime.
15.) 01 Sep 2024 21:46:55
Clear tactic from Salah today to get this out into the media, similar to Virgil…no coincidence that they both have said the same thing referencing no contact from the club. I believe that Salah and virgil both want to stay but clearly this isint a priority for the club who may be happy to get the two highest earners off the wage bill so they can save a few more quid! Salah and Virgil have been revolutionary for the club and still have plenty to offer, this isn’t sentiment this is fact, Salah is a goal machine who cannot be replaced and is showing no signs of decline, Virgil is a rolls Royce of defenders and can play for many many years at the top level.

How do you come to that conclusion Nevada when there has been no discussion ?.

How can he have demands if the club haven’t even mentioned a new contract for him Nevada? Surely the club has to speak to him about a new contract first, unless his agent has?

Surely if they would be willing to pay £300k to a 29 year old they would offer this to Trent - if he has said no to £300k it’s not about the money is it and if he goes then he wants a new challenge much better way to leave than no offering me as much money as Madrid so I’m off there.

Liverpool where always tight lipped on signings - if we pull out a LB (kerkez, Diouf, etc) CB (Hincapie) and cover for Grav (Gomes or Baleba (wishful thinking) we will be saving in 3 weeks time what an amazing job he is doing - it was under Edwards we didn’t have a clue just seems we have reverted back to that approach instead of “oh we’re after this lad”… didn’t sign - we don’t know what happens so can’t judge - if we then sell Nunez for 85m bring in a young prospect with the Greek lad and replace with someone like Oishmen I would say as a club we are doing really well - plus if 2 out of 3 stay with the contracts surely we would be saying how well the club is being run, that’s even before you add in what a delight Slot has been - amazing how people can pass judgement on things we all have no clue about.

I fully agree that Mo gets a contract, even if it means bringing in a youngster someone like bakayoko so that he could learn from Mo etc - I think what LFC will be looking at if there was any signs showing in the data prior to the legs falling of the midfields that year it did, no one could of predicted that from the end of the previous year - Fabinho seemed to drop of a cliff and Liverpool didn’t seem too see it coming - what is different about mo though is he is an absolute machine at the moment 1% of me things would that drop when he gets what he wants or is his goals this year I want to win everything! It’s just weird that he is saying nowhere near a contract so last year and we aren’t being linked with any RW?

Reported in the telegraaf in Holland - apparently reliable when it comes to VVD.

It’s so hard with Trent! There are days that I’m like we cannot lose him, we need to build around what he can do at RB - but then there are too many times for a local lad who “we should build a team around” that his passes look lazy, looks like he doesn’t want to defend, looks like he is sulking and times looks like he wants to be anywhere else bar a football field - future captain and building a team round? But on his day he is beautiful to watch, his right foot can do what others can’t do, kissing the camera Gerrard like and the joy he gets beating untied - then you look at Bradley - who walks into the squad if Trent does leave and I have no negative thought at all about that I think he has such a good attitude and offers us something different! What a mind field that is going on everyday - I just wish we knew what was happening so I can move on ?
Trent for Tchouameni in January ? Bradley coming in for Trent with Tchouameni in Midfield with Grav, do we loose much - creativity yes but can that be replaced by signing a more creative player?

What I do worry about is that we are being in youngsters who apparently have bright futures (Rio kid) as LFC give young players the chance, but this doesn’t seem to be the case this season - I didn’t see much of slot previously but did he rely on the older players or am I just looking into this too much - this might be different on the weekend and as always will eat humble pie - just can’t believe Harvey didn’t get on last night after some performances on Sunday and last night.
09 Jan 2025 17:54:50
Really wouldn’t want Harvey to leave but could understand it - I think he is and will be a top top player - if he goes to a team and gets regular minutes he will be absolutely quality and one I would always be like I’m gutted he left!

Would you not want Moyes Ed? Did he leave on a good note or bad?
{Ed025's Note - bad SF, and came in for 3 of our better players straight away, but only got Fellaini mate..

I think because he hasn’t kissed the badge he gets more respect from me - he is a foreign player so the whole “I have supported this club since I was a little lad” is a joke - to many sports where players kiss one badge then move to another and kiss that one, I’m confident to say that’s a joke - he is the first in, last out, he is asking previous successful managers how he can become great and done this wearing our badge - the dedication he shows to be a professional (selfishly or for the team) he is doing it in Liverpool colours.
I seem to wake up each day feeling differently about who I wouldn’t mind going or they can’t possibly leave and it’s probably all based on the last performance - the old saying your only as good as your last game stick in my mind. Today it’s Mo and VVD that I feel we can’t let go, yesterday it was Trent and VVD tomorrow will probably be different but for what Mo has done for the club and how he still speaks about how successful he wants to be with Liverpool, I don’t want him to go at the end of the season.

Real or not real - I have that little faith in the premier league that he will get a slap on the wrist likely the same as Man City will get for breaking the rules - I think for his own safety with a slapped wrist they probably won’t send the man to Anfield any time soon - wow I know referees get stick but imagine the noise when this guy walks out onto Anfield the next time! Hopefully that game is aired on tv!
I always think of Mean Machine the films when they take action against the referee in the games! If only Riise was still here on them free kicks ?.
