Ed002, just seen a rumour that PSG might be interested in Keita, any legs to it or would his past indiscretions rule out a move anyway?
{Ed002's Note - It seems unlikely to me but their new DoF is working hard to refine their targets.}
1.) 31 May 2022 13:39:27
Is that new DoF Mbappe, Ed002?
2.) 31 May 2022 13:53:07
Please be true. He is ideal for the French league.
3.) 31 May 2022 14:05:43
The new DoF will probably have to run it past Mbappe first lol 😂.
4.) 31 May 2022 14:12:20
Plz be true.
{Ed0666's Note - 2 hopes Bob & no…
21 May 2022 15:39:27
Ed002, sorry if this has been asked already today. It looks like mbappe is staying in Paris, with Haaland at City could this open the door for Salah to get his wish and be back of interest for real?
{Ed002's Note - It is possible but right now it seems unlikely. Real Madrid have other options they have been working on but they have to deal with a balancing act that sees departing wide players and bringing in younger players as they work to keep wages down. They could keep just two of their wingers, add replacements and improve on their striking options and some will argue that might be money better spent.
1.) 21 May 2022 18:01:41
When Real get Edwards and change their MO, it is going to be tough to ever be first choice for any player.
2.) 22 May 2022 01:20:54
I agree Edwards leaving is going to be a huge loss, let's hope his successor learn from him well.
{Ed001's Note - why do people rave about Edwards? What has he done that is so special? He doesn't pick transfer targets, he has ended up having to overpay on every target due to the terms we could offer. The wage bill has risen massively under him and he struggled to offload surplus players due to our wages for fringe players being so high. Not sure what is so special about him that has made Liverpool fans rave so much about him.}
3.) 22 May 2022 08:51:04
Never looked at edwards like that ed1 it doesn’t make him look good at all.
{Ed001's Note - it is not all his fault. He had to overpay for targets as the club was hamstrung with a lack of upfront cash to pay, so had to agree to pay more over the term of payment to get the deals done. But that then meant we had even less cash for the next deal. Hence why we are left paying off lots of deals that are already done, such as for Jota.}
4.) 22 May 2022 12:16:13
Cheers ed1 great answer as always.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate. It is a difficult one, he was working with one hand sort of tied behind his back, so difficult to judge him, but what he did was hardly earth shattering. He seems to have rode the Klopp-bandwagon, rather than being a key component of it, imo.}
5.) 22 May 2022 19:10:47
Ed001, I think a lot of people are impressed with the amounts he got for the sale of some of our players - Coutinho, Brad Smith, Jordon Ibe, Dominic Solanke, Rhian Brewster, Mamadou Sakho and others. I agree that some of the purchases from the view of amounts, terms and agents' fees have been quite high.
20 Jul 2021 16:50:50
No space in the 22 for Harry Wilson or Neco, I'm guessing both are nearing moves. No nat either so he may be closer to the door.
1.) 20 Jul 2021 16:59:18
Neither Wilson nor Williams have unpacked their suitcases yet.
2.) 20 Jul 2021 17:21:49
Wilson and Williams only arrived yesterday. Kelleher and Phillips not involved either so are both out the door?
3.) 20 Jul 2021 17:42:26
Karius playing so he's our number 1 now.
4.) 20 Jul 2021 18:40:05
I forgot that they were at the euros so came back late. Its been a long day! Either way I'd still expect wilson to be gone by season start.
5.) 20 Jul 2021 18:01:04
Waste of time even starting the season. 1-1 with weed wacker fc and losing to Stuttgart. If we don't sign Oblak, Pavard, Kante, Mbappe and Haaland among others then we'll never get top 4.
6.) 20 Jul 2021 21:07:25
The sad thing is OMM is that there are probably fans posting pretty much that on Tw@tter and won't be joking either.
7.) 20 Jul 2021 21:43:45
I think you mean ‘people’ rather than ‘fans’ Flash.
8.) 20 Jul 2021 22:05:22
100% Flash. I'd call them idiots though not fans.
9.) 20 Jul 2021 18:01:04

Anything in the minimino to saints rumour ed002?
{Ed002's Note - H was offered to a number of sides.}
16 Sep 2020 11:25:36
So apparently Brewster is off to Shef United, I think this is a great deal for all parties personally.
The lad needs to be playing week in week out for a couple of seasons if he is to hit his potential. We get money in now to invest in players that Klopp feels can help now rather than helping in 3-4 years time.
If it works out we will likely have first refusal, the player may be willing to come back as we have allowed him to leave for his benefit. If it doesn’t we have pocketed some cash for someone that hasn’t developed as hoped at the height of his value.
It is smart business all round in my opinion and if there is a buy back figure it will likely be lower than his perceived value in a few years time. And he is working under wilder who will keep him on the straight and narrow.
I am a huge fan of his but if he stuck around is he even going to make the bench? And that just isn’t good for his development.
{Ed025's Note - your spot on WYred mate..
1.) 16 Sep 2020 11:40:37
Do we have any idea what kind of fee we may be likely to get? What was Liverpools valuation of him?
{Ed025's Note - not at the moment snoots, it will be getting thrashed out as we speak mate..
2.) 16 Sep 2020 11:49:28
Ah, well we Usualy get decent fees, I know it's random but if we could get enough together to bid for patson daka, he looks a good prospect could take game time off our front three I think.
{Ed025's Note - i think if money is available snoots then thiago will be one to be coming in mate..
3.) 16 Sep 2020 11:52:54
We would never buy him back. we need to take that myth away. Let's wish the kid has a stellar career at Sheffield or beyond. At least we aren't making any fake promises to the lad.
4.) 16 Sep 2020 12:08:33
Harry, why wouldn't we buy him back if he proved good enough and there was a position available for him? Truth is none of know what the future holds but do dismiss that we could potentially buy him back seems crazy to me.
5.) 16 Sep 2020 12:08:45
Stop leading us down the garden path ed, I am at me whits end with the thiago buisness.
{Ed025's Note - hes the one jurgen wants mate, i would have thought cover for the front 3 myself but its hard to argue with mr klopp..
6.) 16 Sep 2020 12:28:27
The Lad is good today But he is a proper center forward, something we don't play with. Brewster like Danny Ings is a very good striker. This sale has nothing to do with him needs to prove a thing.
7.) 16 Sep 2020 12:43:44
It’s kinda strange that we let a homegrown out to get Thiago where we are well stocked in midfield unless we are pushing Fab as backup for CB and Gini as CDM.
However, with Brewster going, the cards will be shifting around for movements.
8.) 16 Sep 2020 12:43:53
But harry that's how we play today, in 3-4 years we may have an entirely different system.
9.) 16 Sep 2020 12:54:45
WYred
Sheffield might sell him next summer or maybe in two years, we don't know. Not sure what the clauses are but if there are clauses then the price also decreases. We are not looking at 3-4 years for sure.
10.) 16 Sep 2020 13:30:21
Whilst I wish he stayed, fair enough. If he isn't getting game time and playing every few games for at least 45 mins and starting cup games, I don't blame him. I do think it's a weird transfer as he's HG and looked an absolute baller, played very well for Swansea. I just hope we have a buy back clause in, because if he ends up scoring double digits for SU this season, I'd love him back, we definitely need cover for the front 3, and Ox/ Shaq/ Origi haven't been doing it for me. I would have preferred selling Origi to Villa and keep Brewster, mainly for HG benefit. Oh well, hope he has a great career at SU! Wilder is a good coach and I'm sure he'll do well there.
11.) 16 Sep 2020 19:53:32
Don’t forget about our Japanese pocket rocket! I’d say we are doing well if Brewster leaves and Thiago comes in. Cover for the front three looks like Minamino - ox- Origi- Shaq. That doesn’t look too bad does it? It’s looking possible that Sarr could be added to the mix. That would make a pretty decent window for us!
{Ed025's Note - that cover for the front 3 looks very very weak to me redman, the only one who looks half decent to me would be minamino mate, the other 3 would do well to get a game for rochdale..
12.) 17 Sep 2020 04:22:51
If a deal includes any sort of a buy back that would make him a valuable future option and we get 20 or 25mil income now it can only make sense as it's a risk with very little chance of causing us regret. If you asked me would I prefer thiago in our team for next 2 or 3 years or Brewster I'd 100% say thiago. If the buy back option looks good value compared to his future progression then we could nab a potential bargain when Firmino is no longer our no.9. To receive 20+ for a player yet to play in premier league and only 6months first team involvement at championship level would be silly to turn down. He could either be a solanke or an ings. We would love to have a situation where ings could be re signed at a good price or else be satisfied that we got paid well for solanke and never seek to bring back. Sheffield Utd will know that they can't guarantee to be in a position of strenght in a few years where they could expect to demand much higher fees for him than maybe 30 or 40mil potential buy back fee. The likes of pogba and sancho going on to become so valuable when let go for so little must have frustrated United and city but negotiating with those top clubs made it unlikely they would agree to a buy back where as with sheff Utd it could work out for both parties. Ed are you aware if the likes of iheanacho or moise kean for example were let move with something similar in their contracts as big clubs letting hot prospects leave must want to consider the possibility of future success. Madrid have done this with carvajal, morata and recently hakimi all becoming twice their value over 12 months. Didn't bayern bring gnabry from Bremen at cut price? I'm not 100% sure on that one. Are there many notable big players who were used in that way?
{Ed0666's Note - What I want for Xmas is for you to start using paragraphs in you’re posts.

So with the way our kit deals play out this year, does that mean we are going to get one of those cheesy old school pictures were all the new signings pose with the manager?
The picture of slot, frimpong, Kerkez, wirtz and possibly a striker (I know I'm greedy) would be the definition of a perfect window.
1.) 13 Jun 2025 11:12:57
WYred, I remember those times. Those where the day, man.
2.) 13 Jun 2025 11:32:01
Sponsors will want max and sustained click volumes. The PR will be milked to the maximum. Revealing multiple signings at the same time wouldn't support that.
Welcome to 2025 football where recruitment and business optics are as valuable as the on field performances and results.
3.) 13 Jun 2025 11:45:21
But they would all be announced at that point Fly, hopefully I get some old school nostalgia!
I need something to remove the Hodgson, Cole and Jovanvic window out my head.
10 Jun 2025 22:32:46
After the announcement it appears we need to say good bye to one of my favourite chants, ‘the reds have got no money, but we’ll still win the league’. It was great whilst it lasted but it’s a good job we have loads of other belters to sing and I’m sure a wirtz one to be added to the list.
I’m still shocked we have got him, I don’t remember us ever buying a superstar, we always tried to make them. I know Torres is mentioned and he was an exciting signing and Thiago was obviously class but made of paper. But this seems another level but maybe that’s recency bias.
1.) 10 Jun 2025 23:29:05
Where is the “announcement”?
2.) 10 Jun 2025 23:30:46
We should still sing it anyway.
3.) 10 Jun 2025 23:24:48
We can just change it to “The Reds have found the money”!
4.) 10 Jun 2025 23:43:25
With more top, top players to follow hopefully? LFC must not stop at Wirtz, Centre Forward, Centre Back and possibly another mid-field player for Harvey if he moves.
Jurgen Klopp adored the massively talented "Di-STEFANO" Bajcetic hopefully his very bad injury is behind him now as his two loan spells have indicated this, he could become for Arne another new top, top class asset 21 on 22 October 2025, still a Puppy age and experience wise can't understand people berating him on You Tube highlights, he will play better with good players around him as his first 22 team games all comps under Jurgen "PROVED", who are much better than the loan clubs players at other loan clubs last season, let's see him play at Arne-Field which is the only real realistic Judge.
If "Di-Stefano" proves his fitness to play Premier League will be a massive addition to LFC, as there are no concerns about his footballing ability as Jurgen and his 22 LFC first team games has already proved, and will only increase ability wise with more LFC playing experience, and all for nothing as his circa £250,000 transfer has been well paid off! and is circa 600 times cheaper than Wirtz! and his contract does not expire till 30/ 06/ 2027.
"Di-Stefano" could answer a lot of mid-field and centre defensive questions for Arne-Field as he could well be with experience be "HANSEN"-esque" as the old centre-back pairing of Hansen and Lawrenson seems to be the preference of the modern day european coaches like Enrique recently, and which Arne may well follow?
5.) 11 Jun 2025 00:11:16
@007, ironically Baj is currently out injured and is struggling to be ready for pre-season. He recently had surgery to address a hamstring issue.
08 Jun 2025 06:43:22
Not Liverpool related but wanted to escape transfers for a second. For anyone who isn’t aware of the Belgian pro league, go and have a read of how it works. It’ll get your brain working on a Sunday!
1.) 08 Jun 2025 08:31:51
I was ok-ish until I got to the Europa league playoff group. More chance of understanding the new Champions League group stage draw!
“At the end of the regular season, a teams points are halved and rounded up to the nearest integer”? - this is the easy (er) part. Good gosh.
26 May 2025 22:52:51
I hope everyone effected today makes a speedy recovery. I was one of the lucky ones no where near it, but still had family concerned I was involved. With the signal being dire it took ages to get messages out which probably didn't help matters and is why so many tried calling the hospitals concerned.
I'm not a local lad, but it's such a wonderful city and community and I'm sure all will come together as they have in the past.
There's a cloud over the city right now, but a golden sky will prevail.
{Ed025's Note - thankfully nobody is dead up to now though 2 including 1 child are in a serous condition, 27 taken to hospital and 24 treated at the scene.... just to update you all..
1.) 27 May 2025 06:49:30
Thanks Ed, shocking scenes, if it weren’t for me being holiday I would have been there yesterday, no one should have to go through this, pray for the families, especially for the kids injured in this, hopefully it doesn’t leave any mental scars with them over this, but born and bred in this city I know we all come together and we will rise above this, both reds and blues ?.
05 May 2025 19:27:48
Apologies to add yet another Trent post but wanted to throw in my two pence worth.
I think Trent made his decision last season or after Klopp went. Klopp seemed hugely influential on him and with him going it must have thrown up more questions than answers. No one expected us to be winning no.20 this season, we all hoped but didn’t think we’d challenge Arsenal or City.
This then left the club with a choice, sell trent and add a layer of uncertainty to the club. imagine the noise if Trent left last summer with Slot coming in. We needed stability and that has proved monumental in how the season has panned out. We then had the option of 20m in Jan, but again I’d switch 20m for the league any day of the week!
I do think the club need to hold a lot of responsibility for him going, especially for free as his contract shouldn’t have been sorted at
Least 18 months ago. I think they were complacent because he was a local lad.
However, more and more of the top players are going to see out their contracts as they know there is a huge payment to be had. That’s completely within their right to do so.
As for Trent, we can all say we would never leave the club but we will never be in that position. Personally I feel the goal from a young age was to win the league with the club, he grew up when we were top 4 at best and winning the PL rather than build a dynasty was probably the aim.
He’s had 20 years at the club and I can’t blame someone for wanting a change. I can’t compare it to Gerard’s situation as if he left us I think we’d probably have been in a relegation battle! Trent leaves us in the best position and hopefully with Bradley who can make the role his.
I, like many, are not Reals biggest fan but I hope he doesn’t live to regret the decision. I hope he gets the farewell his success deserves and leave as a Liverpool great but falls short of being a club legend for me.
1.) 05 May 2025 20:11:47
Trent signed a 4 year deal at 22. Robbo and others integral in that eras success signed 5/ 6 year deals. Klopp has nothing to do with what's happened. It seems obvious how it's been navigated for years, not 18 months.
Also the "20 years" pr spin is clever. He played first team football at 18. The kiddie academy is irrelevant. Every spin possible to distract from what it is.
Trent wants a club what matches his ego and makes his brand bigger. The 15 plus million signing on bonus doesn't hurt either does it? He'll enjoy his alone time with jude in the sun aswell which was also very integral. Very close mates them too.
As for Liverpool fc and it's players, I hope we win the champions league next season and destroy them again.
16 Jun 2025 11:17:53
Boom, forget Fabrizio, this is the transfer content we need. Can’t wait for the next one. Cheers Again mate!
13 Jun 2025 12:17:29
I feel if harry won the euromillions at £199m he'd still complain that it isn't quite 200m!
13 Jun 2025 10:37:43
Carra's posts are great, but these are a different level ? looking forward to next week's episode of Desperate Scouse Wives!
10 Jun 2025 22:23:56
Thanks Macca, sorry I mean Carra!
10 Jun 2025 12:47:46
Or maybe it's all in hand and we are letting Leverkusen line up replacements before a figure is released. If they know the money is guaranteed other clubs will start putting on Wirtz tax.
If there was noise around him for other clubs I'd be worried. But there is nothing from either Madrid or Bayern sniffing around. Which they would if Wirtz agents put the feelers out.
Sit back, relax and wait for the Anfield lean ?.
15 Jun 2025 17:48:34
Is that Harry’s new nickname?
14 Jun 2025 09:39:21
I think I'd go with Torres, Thiago and probably been swayed by the Fowler shout by ed001. He's the person I blame for being a red so to see him come back when i was a bit older was awesome to see.
13 Jun 2025 11:45:21
But they would all be announced at that point Fly, hopefully I get some old school nostalgia!
I need something to remove the Hodgson, Cole and Jovanvic window out my head.
12 Jun 2025 08:16:53
I was going to ask a similar point and you've beat me to it! Ed001, how do you see Madrid playing out for both Trent and Bellingham? Both clearly very talented players but I think both may be more concerned with the brand/ lifestyle and won't hit the heights their talent should.
{Ed001's Note - I think more of the problem is the issue of entitlement that prevails throughout the whole of the Real Madrid club. There is a distinct lack of discipline and guidance for young players within the club, added to that entitlement it is a recipe for disaster on a personal level. You can see that with Bellingham, who joined them as a nice, humble boy, who has turned into a spoilt brat who can't handle any decision going against him. It is not a good place to be.}
11 Jun 2025 19:35:29
One of my favourites that world cup, I know most hated the vuvuzela but it was just a party. The fans, the songs, the football, and some of the goals (because of the football) made it a cracking watch. It helped that I worked in a pub at the time too so basically got paid to watch the games ?.
