Good afternoon Eds, I was wondering if the Liverpool had any interest in Jonathan Burkardt of Mainz? Young striker and I saw his name as someone Liverpool might be interested in. Just curious of there was any truth to it.
{Ed001's Note - I don't know sorry.}
1.) 02 Jul 2025 23:10:38
I think Burkardt is going to Frankfurt.
05 Apr 2025 13:14:00
ESPN is reporting that "talks" have started with Ekitike's reps.
Obviously, no idea if true, but wanted to pass it along.
1.) 05 Apr 2025 14:17:15
I know nothing of the player but I do think it will be a player like that we buy, a bit under radar rather than a isak. Could see us buying isak if we only 1 to buy this window but we minimum of 4 to buy so no way we be firing out £100m plus for 1 player.
2.) 05 Apr 2025 14:55:06
Not sure I would believe anything ESPN is reporting. Mark Odgen and Beth Lindop have been embarrassing recently pushing anti LFC agenda.
Saying that, there does seem to be a little smoke on this player. Opinions appreciated?
Any smoke Ed's?
3.) 05 Apr 2025 15:39:50
ESPN also employed Steven Cohen who had an appalling record of constantly making pejorative remarks about Hillsborough.
4.) 05 Apr 2025 15:52:00
Depends on what smoke you're looking for KC ?.
5.) 05 Apr 2025 16:17:55
Its now being revealed that Klopp and Ljinders pushed for Nunez, whilst the recruitment team wanted Isak.
I wonder if/ how things would have been different with a goal machine upfront but without Nunez's qualities.
I like the look of Hugo, he looks potent.
6.) 05 Apr 2025 22:09:40
The priority should be improving the first 11. I’d rather spend on Isak than go cheaper to make cheaper to make sure we get a backup midfielder.
7.) 05 Apr 2025 23:54:12
@onekiss Changes are almost a certainty to the starting XI, but the current starting XI have also just about won you the league!, it's the squad depth and managers non trust in it that did not let them stay in/ win other competitions as well imho.
8.) 06 Apr 2025 11:53:50
Didn't realise Ekitike is a palindrome. How cool.
20 Mar 2025 11:29:26
ESPN is reporting that Arsenal are interested in Diaz. I don't know if that's true, and would think it's not.
1.) 20 Mar 2025 13:19:15
Al drive him and his dad down there.
2.) 20 Mar 2025 14:30:10
Not sure if AI is that advanced yet, but maybe soon!
3.) 20 Mar 2025 15:10:13
£40,000,002?
4.) 20 Mar 2025 15:13:35
Haha John, as would I mate.
5.) 20 Mar 2025 15:55:06
His Dad’ll think you’re kidnapping him.
08 Mar 2025 01:39:46
ESPN has been linking Liverpool to Angelo Stiller (again), Lamine Camara of Monaco, and Jesus Rodriguez of Betis.
Rodriguez is 19 and seems to play both wings this season.
I think all 3 would be very good additions. Especially Stiller.
1.) 08 Mar 2025 03:04:23
DBAV what makes you say Stiller would be a good addition, have you watched him in the Bundesliga this season? What are his attributes, I see he likes a yellow card, but I would be hesitant as Stuttgart are a mid-table German team in a mediocre league, I would fancy Liverpool to beat Bayern comfortably never mind Stuttgart and I’m just curious as to how good Stiller could be, at 23 he seems like the type of player Ward/ Hughes might go for?
2.) 08 Mar 2025 07:45:42
Has your Dad upset you again shughes? Sorry couldn’t resist
As for mid-table in a mediocre league, didn’t Endo come from Stuttgart?
3.) 08 Mar 2025 07:57:59
Hendo came from a “poor” Sunderland and Robbo from Hull
Sometimes players with potential are not playing at top clubs but they develop into quality additions in the right environment
Pretty sure if people watched Virgil at Celtic they’d have said he’s not that good- he’s only playing in the SPL!
4.) 08 Mar 2025 08:03:50
Endo ain’t much good either tbf. Neither Klopp nor Slott have really favoured him to play him on consistent basis.
{Ed001's Note - he played almost every game under Klopp, what are you wittering on about? He made himself first choice. You clearly aren't much good as a fan.}
5.) 08 Mar 2025 08:34:45
Stetienne - that's why he is on the bench most games.
6.) 08 Mar 2025 12:11:26
If there’s one thing I’d say about Stiller, he looks like he can sniff out a good pass.
7.) 08 Mar 2025 14:49:35
The classic modern day fan.
I’ve never heard of this player before. Quick cheeky google to look at his apps/ goals/ assists. Maybe follow that up with some YouTube highlights.
Proceed to slag player off and deem not good enough.
If only scouting was so easy!
8.) 08 Mar 2025 17:51:26
I've seen a fair bit of stiller and I'd say he's somebody who can rotate with gravenberch and mac allister rather than somebody who can do more of the defensive work to allow them to concentrate on contributing in possession. Most of the play goes through him in Stuttgart, he is their metronome and is sort of like Trent for us but in the deep lying midfielder role, he gets on the ball in his own half and initiates the play forward or sprays it out the flanks. In a way he's quite a bit more like the zubimendi type controlling player slot wanted from the beginning, rather than the more gritty number 6 that people here are hankering for, I can see it happening if Trent is leaving because his primary quality is his vision and ability to pass the ball across all sorts of distances and to do it quickly.
9.) 08 Mar 2025 21:21:06
If you can't see the value Endo brings then you must be blind (or a troll)
Only problem is he is 32. Just wish he was a tad younger so we'd have him for longer.
10.) 09 Mar 2025 02:00:01
Patrol Burgher thanks for the detailed response, good to hear Stiller has vision and can add passing from the centre of the park, he could be decent? Shaq Attack wind your neck in, I was just curious as I never seen Stiller, but you and others on here love to get on your high horse, I have been watching Liverpool for 54 years so hardly a modern day fan!
11.) 09 Mar 2025 11:39:28
Endo has filled a Milly style role quite well at times (Including yesterday) this season and offers valuable leadership (Captains Japon as well) . You need role players to win the league and trophies not just stars. To think your going to replace that with a developmental youth player is being naive. Stiller on the other hand could be a sufficient Endo replacement if Endo decides to move on (which is likely) . The problem you have is most players want first team minutes when transferring and that will plainly not happen with Gravenberch here.
12.) 09 Mar 2025 12:08:31
Endo should have started yesterday.
13.) 09 Mar 2025 17:32:18
If Endo would be willing to stay as that utility man (he was great at CB that one time), he would be an asset, but alas the man probably wants to tear it up for the last few years of his career.
14.) 09 Mar 2025 23:56:09
I know Mark if Endo had started we would’ve won.
06 Feb 2025 22:41:30
ESPN is reporting Liverpool interest in Angelo Stiller. It's a name I've seen on here before. May just be recycled, but he looks like an interesting prospect.
1.) 07 Feb 2025 00:13:51
I watched a video on him a few weeks back and he looks absolutely brilliant. Signed a new contract with a reasonable release clause.
2.) 07 Feb 2025 01:06:06
Not sure if he’s past it now. Hasn’t been in anything good since Tropic Thunder.
3.) 07 Feb 2025 08:07:01
That's some conk the lad has.
4.) 07 Feb 2025 08:21:03
He looks like he’s taken the ball to the nose a few times, good to see he puts himself in the way.
5.) 07 Feb 2025 10:52:40
If the football doesn’t work out for him he can always get a job as a sniffer dog. He could sniff out drugs or truffles from about 150 miles with that hooter.
6.) 07 Feb 2025 12:57:32
Yeah he could smell a Sunday dinner on Tuesday.
7.) 07 Feb 2025 13:07:15
It clearly looks like a nose that has developed from a cleft lip (a birth defect) to me.
8.) 07 Feb 2025 14:15:48
As they say in The Life of Brian"Blessed are the big noses"
9.) 07 Feb 2025 19:07:58
Surprised he’s not had a rhinoplasty to sort that conk out. Michael Jackson once had a nose bigger than that. Hard to believe.
10.) 07 Feb 2025 20:35:37
The man clearly had a cleft palate and you’re laying into him, no good that.
11.) 07 Feb 2025 21:43:12
Not in the slightest one bit funny lads.
12.) 08 Feb 2025 09:08:08
Crazy, not like he chose his looks, obviously a kid with incredible character who has probably had to overcome a lot of idiots.
13.) 08 Feb 2025 16:23:15
WALKON79.
It may not be funny to you. Comedy is subjective.
I didn't mention anything about a cleft palate Frode Kippers. I just said it was some conk, which is the truth. I didn't say it was bad, or ugly, or anything. I just commented on it.
In other news, he has a range of passing on him that's for sure.
14.) 09 Feb 2025 00:36:08
Cooler of course comedy is subjective. Say he signs and you're at a game will you sing a song about his conk? I'm sure the man would find it funny and inspiring.
15.) 09 Feb 2025 01:12:16
Empathy is also subjective.

Gotta say, I'm still ridiculously excited about Wirtz. I haven't moved on from how great a pickup that is.
1.) 27 Jun 2025 21:08:47
I hope your sheets are retaining some flexibility.
2.) 27 Jun 2025 22:09:31
That reminds me. I must wash mine.
3.) 27 Jun 2025 22:48:17
2Shoes, you better buy a second set for when Isak gets announced ?.
26 May 2025 01:45:52
This season was fun. Proud of this team.
I hope next season is as fun.
1.) 26 May 2025 08:44:25
So much fun, Dbav. Back to back of this type of season would be nice, right?
23 May 2025 20:52:08
I have to say, if the Wirtz deal comes to fruition, I'm thoroughly impressed by the efficiency of the backroom staff thus far. 3 exciting talents, under the age of 25, with little fuss, ans before the window even opens.
Imagine if they manage to bring in 2 to 3 more players (forward, midfielder, CB) . What a job this far. Efficient and well done.
1.) 23 May 2025 20:58:50
I would imagine that Wirtz is our striker signing, he can play accross all 3 forward positions and can do so equally well. We may see another striker arrive if Jota was to leave but I would imagine that would be back up striker signing and not at the costs of players like Alvarez, Ekitike or Sesko. Would be glad to be proven wrong but I just don’t see that level of financial outlay happening.
2.) 23 May 2025 21:09:24
Looking at Wirtz stats this season he’s played CF once, false 9 four times and an attacking mid (10) 40 times.
One of the reasons apparently he favours us is he wasn’t impressed with Kompanys pan and tactical use of him.
I’m just putting 2 and 2 together here but do we think he’s going to leave Germany to play an unfamiliar position or we’re going to outlay that kind of money to try him as a CF.
For me I honestly believe he’s Coming as a 10 and Slot even hinted Szob will be used more as an 8 on Monday night.
We know Wirtz can do a job as a false 9 but we also know he’s a world class no 10. Why cut our nose off to spite our face.
3.) 23 May 2025 21:55:05
Good research, JK. And I agree with your conclusion. Leaves us still needing a striker. Price of a ticket on the Kop, next season, will probably be 500 quid!
4.) 23 May 2025 23:28:28
Sales of players will surely soften the blow of our new signings
Kell/ 30m
Darwin/ 50m
Tsim/ 10m
Gomes/ 15m
Morton/ 10m
Bajetic/ 25m
And possibly a lot more fringe players and maybe even Jota/ 40m
. obviously I'm guessing what these players will fetch but surely I'm not that far off in valuation.
5.) 24 May 2025 05:07:18
Jota would not go for 40m in my opinion. that's too much. 30m I'd say but Elliott would demand 40m for sure or more.
Also always a chance Diaz goes too and that would also be decent money like 60m+.
19 May 2025 21:14:21
One for Ed25. I'm curious how you feel about Heitinga winning the PL with Liverpool? I'm not posing this as a jab, but sincerely wondering if you're conflicted or just happy for him. I know you spoke very highly of him when he was hired.
{Ed025's Note - im happy for him of course Dbay, when he was with us his attitude and endeavor was second to none so i can only wish him well mate..
1.) 19 May 2025 22:19:44
Poor nite at the office all round to be fair brighton wanted it more and fully deserved the victory.
2.) 20 May 2025 08:15:05
Brighton had / have Europe to plat for, mentally we finished after the Spurs game and are just going through the motions.
3.) 20 May 2025 23:41:55
another disappointment from the season is Slot missing the opportunity to give Heitinga a bit of friendly banter when he addressed the crowd after we beat spurs lol.
24 Apr 2025 22:46:06
Ed25, I see you're about to get some more of that American sports money. Do you think Kidd and LeBron with go 1 on 1 on the playground to decide a derby?
{Ed025's Note - we have "magic Jordan" who usually decides the derbies Dbav.. :)
1.) 24 Apr 2025 23:25:11
That’s why we normally win Ed ;)
{Ed025's Note - we have not done too bad in recent years RLL..
2.) 25 Apr 2025 04:49:26
I prefer 'scissor legs' Jordan.
3.) 25 Apr 2025 09:45:00
Seen him try and catch a ball. More like Scissor Hands.
Those really small scissors as well.
4.) 25 Apr 2025 10:20:03
Hairy Finger Johnson all ways punched above his weight.
5.) 25 Apr 2025 14:19:16
Pickford is okay but the way Ed025 goes on about him
You’d think he was peak Peter Shilton!
07 Jul 2025 14:02:02
@PatrikBurgher, I think that's fair. My thought was that Nunez is likely to go, and Diaz may leave as well (though I'm not convinced he will) . That's 3 potentially players that have to be replaced up front. Maybe Danns takes one of those spots, but you're still looking at at least 2 new players if Diaz leaves.
On top of that, I would expect 1 LB to go, Quansah is already gone, Elliot is likely to leave, and there's uncertainty around Konate. So you are potentially looking at adding a 9, 2 wings, and a CB.
I understand that not all of those players will leave, but, in my opinion, there is still a decent amount of work to do.
07 Jul 2025 02:02:23
I would think if Diaz goes, then Rodrygo would become an option again.
It looks like a lot of potential flux. Wirtz is a great signing, but there is a lot of strengthening to do. It looks like the buzz around some of the youngsters has died down a bit (Ait-Boudlal, Zeze, Hato) . Guehi is the popular rumor now. But who knows what is really happening behind the scenes?
It will be interesting to see what happens.
03 Jul 2025 12:20:58
Sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
29 Jun 2025 01:20:04
For those that watch him, what are Guehi's strengths?
22 Jun 2025 14:29:48
I hope this turns into Hato, Zeze, or Ait-Boudlal.
02 Jul 2025 21:46:09
Thanks for the writeup, Ed!
{Ed001's Note - very welcome. }
12 Jun 2025 03:28:51
Stiller would be a good get in my opinion, although, I don't know how he would fit in with a midfield of Wirtz, Grav, Mac, and Szobo. Don't know that he'd want to be cover.
I would love to see Hato, Ait Boudlal, and a forward. Would love to see a high upside addition like a Jesus Rodriguez.
So I'm very much on board with Fornax.
12 May 2025 18:10:04
Very well said, Salah.
07 May 2025 21:55:20
OK.
If that's what he thinks is best.
07 May 2025 02:09:57
Very good post Nevada.
He's a young man doing what he thinks is best for him. Can't blame him for that.
I wish him well.
