Hi Ed002. As far as you are aware do we have any interest in Mbeumo?
{Ed002's Note - Bryan Mbuemo (RW/F) Seen as a potential upgrade to Miguel Almiron by Newcastle and as an option for both Arsenal and Aston Villa. I am not aware of any approach by Liverpool and having read the article in Equip, they are not saying Liverpool are interested.}
08 Aug 2024 18:55:38
I'm not really one for rumours, but according to my bookie pal ( their usually right ) Liverpool are preparing bids for Zubimendi and Soler, they apparently really want Gordon too but will only bid once they've freed up space and have the funds.
1.) 08 Aug 2024 19:18:58
I can’t see them bidding for two midfielders especially when soler is 27 unless he is very cheap.
2.) 08 Aug 2024 19:32:10
Julio Soler is 19 and a left back.
3.) 08 Aug 2024 21:01:31
Sorry Thought it was Carlos Soler.
4.) 08 Aug 2024 21:27:37
Didnt the bookies have us favourites for Bellingham.
5.) 08 Aug 2024 22:02:38
We were JK until we wouldn’t pay the wages. Short sighted IMO because you can cash in later if needed. However you can sort of understand it when it would have broken the wage structure.
Zubimendi seems a top talent as well, really hope it gets done.
6.) 09 Aug 2024 01:56:41
Bellingham wanted to go to Real Madrid, end of story.
7.) 09 Aug 2024 03:49:36
The bookies are interested in making money not getting transfer rumours correct.
8.) 09 Aug 2024 05:37:55
Wdw the narrative last season was Bellingham wanted to come to Liverpool. Lifelong fan I think it was said.
9.) 09 Aug 2024 06:00:40
Won’t be Zub. Doubt the lb until Jan. imo.
10.) 09 Aug 2024 07:03:32
Or maybe Bellingham didn't come to us last summer was because we had such a poor season, that we looked club on a downer. The time to go for these top players is when the team is on top themselves.
I. e after getting 90 odd points in league r playing in champ league final.
11.) 09 Aug 2024 08:26:43
WDW is correct, Bellingham wanted Madrid.
It's funny how some will ignore the facts and invent their own history so they can pursue a negative narrative towards the club.
Playground behaviour.
12.) 09 Aug 2024 09:35:23
Thrush if you say he is correct then he must be correct. After all any adult who is still a fan of cartoons must be the fountain of knowledge.
13.) 09 Aug 2024 09:55:32
As always cheers for your input Thrushthered.
Looking forward to having a beer with you at Anfield this season.
14.) 09 Aug 2024 10:43:41
How does anyone know what happened with Bellingham? You’re just guessing and passing it off as facts.
Obviously, in the end Bellingham wanted Madrid because that’s where he ended up. That’s doesn’t mean that he always wanted Madrid or that he never wanted Liverpool or any other club.
We are talking about human beings who are making decisions on their career. It’s just not as black and white as people seem to think it is and I’m sure that things change quite often.
15.) 09 Aug 2024 10:53:32
How is saying Bellingham was favourite with the bookies guessing?
It was a fact that he was favourite with them to join Liverpool.
16.) 09 Aug 2024 12:19:53
Well BP I'm going by an interview with Bellingham where he said himself he was always going to go to Madrid.
I generally tend to put my faith in something that comes from the horse's mouth rather than clickbait garbage or people's psychic musings on here.
Of course that's only my own perception, people have the right to fabricate their own versions and pass them off as legit. It's not as if it's against the law. It also won't stop me from laughing at it.
17.) 09 Aug 2024 12:38:34
I’m pretty sure ed002 said at one point earlier on in the bid for Bellingham’s signature that he expected Bellingham to end up at either Madrid or Liverpool. I think our chances faded away at some point or other but I distinctly remember we were in the conversation at one point, at least enough of a chance for us to not be considered ‘never in the running’. We did some weird things like make promises to family members and stuff and ultimately we didn’t seem very attractive with the season we had but I’m sure, unless memory fails me, that we were in with a shout.
{Ed002's Note - No, I never said he would move to Liverpool. Liverpool were formally warned about making a direct approach to his family.}
18.) 09 Aug 2024 12:55:15
@JK23, I suspect that I was the lifelong fan that thought Bellingham wanted to come to Liverpool. If that is the case, then, with hindsight, I made a mistake at the time. I’m thinking of starting a club for those of us who make mistakes from time to time.
19.) 09 Aug 2024 13:04:30
People say a lot in interviews, doesn’t mean it’s actually true. He’s just pleasing the fans of his new club ect…. liverpool were in the mix 100% and no doubt the wages were the deciding factor, after watching him for England couldn’t care less…. we got mc and szob, I’ll take them over bell now anyday.
20.) 09 Aug 2024 13:25:52
I distinctly remember that in a post where somebody pressed you to guess where he would end up, you replied Madrid or Liverpool, Ed. I don’t think I would make something like that up (or at least my mind wouldn’t fabricate something so fanciful, I hope), never meant that your meaning was he was going to Liverpool, but that at one point in time it was a possibility rather than a big fat zero.
21.) 09 Aug 2024 13:38:14
WDW you've come to that assumption yourself.
I've not said a lifelong fan or you have said anything.
I've said it was said Bellingham was a lifelong fan and that the bookies had him as favourites to join us.
22.) 09 Aug 2024 14:54:51
Geez it's a Friday and the start of the weekend. Lighten up. ?.
23.) 09 Aug 2024 17:14:46
Bellingham was just using us to get Madrid to hurry up and sign him.
24.) 09 Aug 2024 17:40:11

Robbo is Scottish. My lads only a quarter Scottish and he burns after 10 minutes in British Sun. If Robbo went to Saudi he’d have 3rd degree burns within 5 minutes of getting off the private jet.
5.) 09 Jul 2024 22:40:22
The hopefully comment is so disrespectful to say about a player who gives everything for us on the pitch and has helped us achieve so much.
6.) 10 Jul 2024 05:59:40
Didn’t Robbo hope to play for Celtic after his time at Liverpool was up?
7.) 10 Jul 2024 08:49:05
Who’s going to replace Robbo.
He’s not done yet.
8.) 10 Jul 2024 11:02:10
He’s 30 Ron Keague, therefore “he’s far too old”. He also missed a lot of games last season so he is now in the “made of crisps” bracket. Not to mention that we only finished 3rd which also qualifies him for his “mediocre at best” badge. I also saw him get skinned by Saka this one time at Fan camp, which of course categorises him as an “oil tanker”, which can also be described as someone with “the turning circle of the titanic”. Lastly, his decision to play at the Euros instead of report for pre-season training on time is a clear indication that he has “ a terrible attitude”.
I hope we give him a new contract personally. I think he deserves it for one, but I’d also love to see how certain people on here would react to us contracting a player to 33/ 34 years old. Could be riots.

Not one for speculation and rumours, but apparently Alonso has been appointed.

I hope so but I doubt that's true just yet.
{Ed002's Note - No he hasn’t. I don’t know why this BS is being posted.}
2.) 29 Jan 2024 23:12:01
Total BS!
3.) 30 Jan 2024 00:47:28
He can’t be “appointed”.
1) there is no vacancy until the end of the season so to appoint someone would probably be illegal.
2) He won’t want to leave BL before the end of the season.
3) Klopp is still the manager, to appoint someone now would totally undermine his position and derail the season.
I’m certain in my own mind the club has been attending to business. They will have had meaningful discussions with potential candidates and/ or their representatives. They will have a shortlist and a plan.
4.) 30 Jan 2024 01:06:23
Not one for speculation and rumours and BS, but apparently Alonso has NOT been appointed.

No, no, no. Not yet. Slow down.
Slot is doing fantastically well, and has won the respect and adherence of Kopites worldwide, but Paisley rivals Ferguson as the greatest manager of all time.
We can, however, talk about this when Slot wins one of the big two.
For now, however, I wouldn't choose anyone else.
17 Nov 2024 09:41:49
I remember a few years ago a lot of lads got together to play a football match.
Just an idea but maybe a charity match could be arranged to raise funds for Ed002's chosen charity.
06 Nov 2024 23:31:32
I really think we are going to win the league this season, then again there was a time where I thought I was going to marry pamela anderson. I'm loving Slots cool, calm and composed demeanour, he also strikes me as ruthless. Out of all the 3 contract situations it is Van Dijk I don't want to lose the most, I know he is aging but as good as he was initially, i actually think he's improving as a player. It's a given he'll be gone eventually, who replaces him when he goes? I really feel konate is ready to step in and replace him as our defensive lynchpin, he's still very young, but who becomes his sidekick when Van Dijk is gone? Gomez? Quansah? Somebody else?
1.) 07 Nov 2024 00:37:17
I think we'll win it as well mate.
2.) 07 Nov 2024 06:35:16
Could win but need to beat city in a few weeks and get a good gap on them before new year. As good a chance as any but I’m sure they’ll strengthen and usually pick up form in Jan so we will need 6plus points advantage imo.
3.) 07 Nov 2024 07:23:10
I can see us losing form, getting some bad luck or decisions and some injuries so I'm less optimistic.
It has happened to City and I think they'll recover and it happened to us at the end of last season.
Saying that, I was the same in 2019/ 20 and we pretty much kept on going. This group isn't as strong though but I'm ever the pessimist!
I'll have rethink if Pammie does agree to marry you, Walkon.
4.) 07 Nov 2024 08:00:16
I think the contract situations will detail us later in the season. It's natural for those players who are just about to leave to have a dip as they plan for life with a new club. We've also had a relatively easy run of fixtures at the start which has got confidence up. When we lose another game and face harder opponents, we will lose points and City will be there to pick us off.
I hope this isn't true but that's what I feel will happen.
5.) 07 Nov 2024 08:50:51
Don’t give up on Pamela, Walkon. As she ages, her standards will drop so in 20-30 years, you could be in there! ?.
6.) 07 Nov 2024 08:51:07
Cant see any of them 3 taking their eye off the ball if they're going for a league.
7.) 07 Nov 2024 09:17:18
We look impressive no doubt, but I wouldn't get carried away. Only takes an injury to VVD in my book for the wheels to come off. If we are still ahead in January with a solid buffer then I'll start believing a bit more but we've seen how many times how impressive City are in the run in so I think we'll need to capitalise on their current poor form of results.
I have also been impressed with Konate, to be fair I always have been, it was only ever his injuries holding him back. Gomez would be the partner for me, deserves an opportunity for his loyalty and professionalism alone. Quansah is good but lacks the pace for me to be a consistent starter.
8.) 07 Nov 2024 09:25:46
I wonder what the reaction would be if we won the PL or CL and the three players were about to leave.
I reckon some fans would see it as an excuse not to celebrate ?.
9.) 07 Nov 2024 09:31:16
@Brommers, apart from City (who are nowhere near as effective without Rodri) who are the harder opponents than Arsenal, Chelsea and, for different reasons, United?
10.) 07 Nov 2024 10:08:58
I'm loving Slot at the moment and the team are doing great.
This time last year Spurs fans were loving Ange though as they were sat top on 1 point more than we currently have.
I'm not comparing us to Spurs as we are a far better side I'm just comparing the situation of we are still very early into a season (just over a quarter played)
I believe we can win the league but i also still think City and Arsenal are also in the running but it is advantage us because only our results now count.
Last March there were early title celebrations from some supporters and that was with 18 games left, we still have 28 to go.
Results have been fantastic though.
Hopefully we can get these contracts sorted sooner rather than later as i know contracts can takes ages to sort unless they are on transfer deadline day or in the months of Aug or Jan where we clubs must use fast track printers.
11.) 07 Nov 2024 10:26:50
Why do people still think that we haven't played any big teams yet? There is only Man City from the top 5 who we haven't played!
12.) 07 Nov 2024 10:41:19
Don't worry lads, I've sent Pamela many proposals, I'm sure one day she'll give in ?.
13.) 07 Nov 2024 10:45:10

Have to say Zed I liked that reply. Very funny ?.
15.) 07 Nov 2024 11:32:17
What we will win is too early to tell, personally. Just enjoying the good vibes and the journey so far.
16.) 07 Nov 2024 12:37:56
I think the difference between us and spurs, oli, is that the spurs way of playing was very straightforward and clear to see from day one, all the flaws of that way of playing were very patent too, and once spurs began to run into problems tactically and with injuries, when they didn’t have the personnel or legs to sustain that way of playing and that level of intensity, they didn’t seem to have much of an idea how to solve them. Whereas with slot, while there is an obvious problem with our press and sometimes that arsenal managed to exploit, you can see that he makes significant changes to response to game states, and that he’s not riveted to an on or off the ball structure hell or high water.
You have the confidence that he can learn from mistakes and flaws in his defensive structure and in the build up, and that he hasn’t fully arrived at a definitive way of setting this team up, which is why it’s frightening that he’s picking up results while he’s learning on the job. Also, there’s the fact that this wah of playing doesn’t look unsustainable through the course of the season- the team have obvious passages of the game where they slow the entire game down and then pick it up moving through the lines when it suits them, so it’s not like they re busting a gut from first minute to last.
17.) 07 Nov 2024 12:44:50
Oops, I was addressing oil by mistake rather than JK, as I should have done.
18.) 07 Nov 2024 13:28:19
Patrik no worries mate and I 100% agree with you. I think there is zero comparison between us and spurs and only used them as an example of same time and place a year ago.
I could probably look at other seasons where we haven’t won the league and we might have been top around this time as well.
But great reply though.
With only 1 league title in 30 plus years I’m always anxious about the league where as others seem far more confident season after season.
But that’s the beauty of football.
19.) 07 Nov 2024 18:13:19
Was wondering why that post was directed at me, @PB. All good, mate.
06 Nov 2024 23:18:21
Hi Ed001, always love your insight into our current players. Do you see Ben Doak having a future at Liverpool when he comes back? I personally think he is an extremely exciting prospect, and could be a ready made Salah replacement in time, saving the club millions.
{Ed001's Note - he is missing end product still, but he is getting better so maybe.}
1.) 07 Nov 2024 00:03:38
Cheers pal.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}
2.) 07 Nov 2024 08:04:57
Ed do you think that’s the hardest thing to learn in that role?
{Ed001's Note - yes, but it usually comes along with experience to a degree.}
3.) 07 Nov 2024 11:00:30
Ronaldo was the same when he was young, too much dribbling and not playing the right ball.
Ed001 is right, it comes with experience and good coaching and good motivation.
4.) 07 Nov 2024 22:25:42
Doak has plenty of time and I hope we have a good plan to nurture him th way we have been doing with Jones. the kid is 18 and we're talking about him being a Salah replacement and having no end product. He's 18!
Mo was 22 when he was at Chelsea!
06 Nov 2024 05:19:34
So what are we winning this season? Champions league, or premier league?
1.) 06 Nov 2024 06:19:51
PL should be the priority and anything else is a bonus.
Not to get carried away as last year we were doing really well before the wheels came off in the home stretch.

9.) 06 Nov 2024 09:54:31
We've been on the radar of all teams in Europe for many decades and if you think that teams haven't been analysing our games up until now you are extremely naive.
10.) 06 Nov 2024 10:06:16
I'd be ecstatic with either or.
If I'm greedy then both but if it was a straight shoot out between the 2 then it would be the Premier League.
I still believe the players and fans are owed that PL open top tour bus around the City.
11.) 06 Nov 2024 10:18:48

@shipley, that's not true. We were playing Europa League only last season. Nobody cares about teams playing in Europa League, only champions league counts.

* there.
17.) 06 Nov 2024 13:43:27
Tbh Atalanta’s path to the europa league trophy and the football they played to get there was way more thrilling than Madrid, so it simply isn’t true that nobody cares about the europa league, even Olympiakos’ conference league win was an amazing story too, stuff like this is why we watch football in the first place.
{Ed002's Note - Ignore him - he is just trolling the site.}
18.) 06 Nov 2024 13:51:04
@Leek You are talking absolute tripe. Leverkusen were in the Europa League last season and everybody was talking about them (rightfully so) - their entire current reputation is based on what they did last season. I'd go as far as to say that for a lot of neutrals there was more interest in the EL final than there was in the CL final
Also, a big clubs reputation doesn't disappear in a season. We are one of the biggest clubs in the world and we have been for decades. A season in the Europa League would never change that. Look at Man U - they have been awful for years (sometimes not even qualifying for European competition) but like it or not they are still a massive club with a massive reputation.
19.) 06 Nov 2024 14:23:03
As always, give both PL and CL the best shot possible.
Feels like PL is there for the taking at the moment given our position, Gooners wobbling and Rodri being out. Whereas this new CL format is an unknown quantity.
The domestic cups, don't care about them this season.
Learn from 21/ 22 and 22/ 23 seasons and bin them off at the earliest opportunity so we are in good shape for the major honours.
20.) 06 Nov 2024 15:16:33
@ shipley, rome, you have digress. The point is we will need to dig deep when our tactics are found out, countered by another manager.
I am sure while i am typing, there clubs out there dissecting Slot's tactics, set up. Which is why 1st half is alway hard going because they know how we set out, slot advantage is he can counter real fast but not before half time break.
Against brighton we could have been 3 nil down. The game could be quite different. Does this team have iron to come back from 3nil down like their predecessor against Barcelona?
We will see.
Against Leverkusen, Frimpong had gilt edge chances at least 2, the game would have turn out differently.
21.) 06 Nov 2024 16:30:32
@Leek nobody was disputing the first part of your point. Of course there will be hard times and this is usually when you find out the most about a manager and a group of players. It was the second half of your post that was utter nonsense.
As for your examples in that last post - Brighton had 1 big chance in the entire game and an xG of 0.76 so had we been 3-0 down there would have been something really wrong! Last night Frimpong had 2 shots which had a combined xG of 0.062 so again, I'm struggling to see the 'gilt edged' chances. He did have a goal disallowed when he played it past Tsimikas with his hand but obviously this would never have counted. You need to stop fretting about hypotheticals and just enjoy the ride!
22.) 06 Nov 2024 18:06:48
I’m assuming you work in the fishing industry @Lee?
23.) 06 Nov 2024 18:08:11
Are teams not supposed to try and beat us, or at least make it hard for us during the match?
Isn't that the whole point of competition?
What a strange outlook on the game.
24.) 06 Nov 2024 18:40:29
Leek, my response to you was based on your total disregard of the Europa League, which Shipley has already addressed.
25.) 07 Nov 2024 07:18:58
Gotta say, i'd obviously love both but I agree JK23, the league should be the priority and rightly so.
It's close, City only 2 points behind and none of us have a clue what way this new Champions League format is going to go, but fair play to Slot and the team, they've made a great start and need to just keep it going - Real and City games coming up, two real big tests for this team.
20 Oct 2024 09:48:11
All 3 amigos are staying and we're winning the league.
12 Sep 2024 14:58:49
Paul McGrath has to be up there with the best of defenders. USA 94 against Italy is possibly the best performance from a defender I have ever seen.
15 Aug 2024 12:46:16
No need JK, I am not in the habit of collecting mens details online.

Get rid of him. In my opinion he's become very arrogant the past couple of years and basically up his own backside. He needs replacing sooner or or later, let's do it sooner.

Literally just been told about it by a hammer friend of mine JK. Crash looked horrific, apparently he is in a stable condition though. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Salah I need to give you a shout out, love how you are always positive when it comes to the team that we all love and cherish.

I'm going with Salah. 3-1 I predict. Have a feeling Nunez will score if he plays.
