Hey Eds, do you think we'll go back in for Lavia now MC has gone? Or have Southampton decided to sell him to Chelsea? And I'd imagine we've burnt our bridges with the player too.

jimblelfc2005

{Ed002's Note - Right now, Lavia looks way more likely to move elsewhere.}


1.) 12 Aug 2023 22:58:32
Why would we go back? We value Lavia at less than southampton do, which is why we moved onto Caicedo, he has chose Chelsea, we move onto the next, let's hope there is a next already in place though, otherwise this season could be a write off before it begins, as we have been left ridiculously short at DM.


2.) 12 Aug 2023 23:08:46
We valued him at 4mil less than Southampton. Makes no sense we valued Caicedo at 110mill if we are that shrewd. We are just a mess at the moment, no logic to what we are doing imo. Think we will struggle to get top 4 this year and didn’t think I’d be saying that when we signed szobo but Newcastle look great and arsenal and city will finish above us.


3.) 12 Aug 2023 23:16:11
Brummy you don’t know what the plan was? Was it Lavia at the right price plus another or all out for Caicedo? Then when Southampton wouldn’t budge we changed tack to Caicedo?

I’m not saying that’s true, I have no idea but saying we are just a mess with no clue about anything is just plain short sighted.

As for saying we will struggle for top 4 before we’ve even kicked a ball? Fans are very, very strange these days.


4.) 12 Aug 2023 23:53:15
Beckers, you don't think we're in a mess? Horrendous month or so for us. Sold our two most experienced mids, which is fine if you've bloody replacements lined up. Sporting director for 3 months then Billy Hogan has to do the work for caicedo . Its been a total mess.


5.) 13 Aug 2023 00:38:49
Where is the confirmation of Caicedo's decision?


6.) 13 Aug 2023 01:13:40
I was excited for Lavia and seeing him grow with us.


7.) 13 Aug 2023 01:34:49
Forget MC, we should go for EC, he’s a scouser and came out publicly in 1978 stating that he didn’t want to go to Chelsea.


8.) 13 Aug 2023 02:01:28
We’ve sold players who pretty much everyone on here has been slating for over a year now, complaining how they are liabilities.
Milner was barely a squad player at best. Henderson and Fabinho out for zsoboslai and maccallister coming in.

Where’s all this negative talk coming from, we’ve got plenty of talent and a strong first 11 to see us through for now, and I’m sure we’ll sign a couple of players before the window shuts.

Getting rid of 2 dead leg liabilities and replacing them with two top players is a massive step in the right direction.


9.) 13 Aug 2023 03:42:23
Kayibei - ye addition by subtraction! Still work to do and over half the month to go.


10.) 13 Aug 2023 05:40:13
No Port Red we are not in a mess. We have been negotiating for 2 players whom as of today are still available. We may or may not get them but even if we don’t why does that mean we are in a mess?

It’s just transfer negotiations that have always gone on for decades without fans batting an eyelid. Now SlySports have cashed in and want to give us a blow by blow account every fan suddenly thinks they are an expert on the subject.

You’re not. Like most of us you have no clue. I suggest we all just relax and enjoy the game later. A big win and everyone will be saying we don’t need a DM anyway.


11.) 13 Aug 2023 07:07:00
I admire your positivity @Beckers Pecker but a big win today won't for a second have anyone (nevermind everyone! ) saying we no longer need a DM.

We 100% need a DM.


12.) 13 Aug 2023 07:40:56
Becker’s Pecker your optimism is nice but most of us are basing it on the reality of finishing fifth last year which colossal holes in the squad. The holes have got bigger in many respects. So to say we won’t make the top four again is a reasonable assessment.


13.) 13 Aug 2023 07:49:37
Perhaps Lavia’’s team have told us he wants Chelsea also ??.


14.) 13 Aug 2023 07:57:20
What mess are we in, exactly? We only need two more players as in a DM and CB but in some people’s world that us bring in a mess? Some of our fans can be real gems sometimes. Good grief!


15.) 13 Aug 2023 08:24:22
Can’t say we’re in a mess yet.
Everyone moaned last season that fabinho’s legs had gone and hendo’s time was come to an end.
Everyone suggested that we couldn’t press as we wanted because we didn’t have the legs.
We play with three midfielders.
We’ve got bajetic, MacAllister, Szobo, TAA as an option, Jones and Elliot.
Yes ideally we’d get one more but could they carry us through to January. Unless we’re very unlucky with injuries surely there’s enough there.
Centre back remains of greater concern to me. I said it at the end of last season and I still think it’s the area to address.


16.) 13 Aug 2023 10:09:44
The “we’re a mess” people are the people in the life boat complaining while the others are paddling the boat towards safety.


17.) 13 Aug 2023 10:11:06
It hasn’t been great. I do think before selling Henderson and Fabinho we should have had replacements lined up already and bid for. I don’t think we are in a mess but clearly everything is not great either.


18.) 13 Aug 2023 10:27:12
Frode, I would argue with some certainty that had we not lost 3 of our forwards, 1 of our starting centre backs and 2 of our starting midfielders to injury for most of the season we’d have comfortably finished in the top 4.

Added to that VVD had an injury, as did Fabinho, Robbo struggled at the start of the season and Bajcetic came in, did well and got injured.

We’ve already refreshed the midfield and have all of our forwards for with Diaz and Nunez now having more time to settle.

Even if we don’t sign another player top 4 is a certainty. I think we need another midfielder and a centre back to challenge City for the title but that’s only because they are silly good.

We are far from in a mess.


19.) 13 Aug 2023 10:52:23
Long term view, don't forget Thiago, Morton and Gakpo as well who are midfield options. That is 9 senior players on top of the 6 you listed for just 3 positions. I do accept Trent and Gakpo also have duties covering other positions too though. You could equally argue that Clark and McConnell are u21 players who are ready for minutes in Cup games.

I remember 6 months ago Bajcetic was being dubbed our best midfielder by Eds and posters. 1 injury and Baj apparently needs replacing? Baj had 2 bad games for us and they were against Man City and Real Madrid when the whole team had a bad game. That run he had in DM next to Thiago was pretty good even with Keita in front of them. If they could look good in a team performing badly with no press ahead of them, how much better might they look with Macca, Szobo and Jones now there defend from the front, and Trent tucking in.

If we sign a versatile DM, great, we'll be even stronger as a squad (Kimmich, Gravenberch, Thuram etc) . If we don't, we'll still be better than we were last season in my opinion. You can't underestimate how much pressure it put our defence and DM under by having Hendo, Elliott, Keita and Milner as the press when none of them could win a 50/ 50 and Milner was the only one who could even win a 60/ 40. Jones being back on top of Macca and Szobo is a game changer.


20.) 13 Aug 2023 13:57:19
MK, Morton won’t get a sniff at the first team mate, I see Bradley becoming first choice right back.


 

 

27 Dec 2022 19:27:31
Eds, with Liverpool signing Gakpo where do we stand in our non homegrown numbers please? . I believe that he was the last player we can register. If and it's a big if, we signed Fernandez then surely we can't register him until someone leaves. Thanks.

jimblelfc2005

{Ed002's Note - As I recall there are a couple of spare slots.}


1.) 27 Dec 2022 19:34:01
Thanks ??.


2.) 27 Dec 2022 20:26:26
Have Gakpo replace Adrian. Davies 3rd choice keeper. Keita probably replaces Arthur in the CL squad. Ox replace Frauendorf.

Kelleher, Trent, Jones, Nat as our 4 club developed players.

Kelleher, Trent, Nat, Gomez, Henderson, Milner, Ox, Jones, Carvalho as the 8 home grown. (9 but only need 8)

Alisson, Ramsay, VVD, Matip, Konate, Robertson, Tsimikas, Fabinho, Keita, Thiago, Bajcetic, Salah, Diaz, Firmino, Gakpo, Nunez Jota as the non home grown players

That’s 26 without Adrian, Arthur or Doak. Anyone new would have to replace Ramsay probably or Bajcetic. Elliott on list B with Harvey Davies and a few others.


3.) 27 Dec 2022 22:19:28
Isn’t there some rule about players under 21 not being counted or something.

{Ed002's Note - Yes.}


4.) 29 Dec 2022 12:54:12
OneKiss, a few tweaks to the list mate.

Carvalho, Ramsay and Bajcetic are all U21 so are listed separately. Doak as well and Elliot, Davies etc.

Elliot and Bajcetic will count (I believe) as HG and CT, and Carvalho will count as HG once they are over 21. As long as Ramsay and Doak stay with the club (rather than going out on loan) they will also count as both HG and CT in years to come, as will someone like Gordon who is recovering from injury atm.


 

 

26 Dec 2022 21:03:11
Merry Christmas Eds.

Any legs in the rumour we're trying to sign Gackpo this January? Paul Joyce says we are.

jimblelfc2005

{Ed002's Note - Yes it is correct - but unclear where that leaves Diaz and Jota, or where it leaves Gakpo when they are fit. It seems odd that the are looking to strengthen away from the midfield priority.}


 

 

31 Aug 2022 14:17:04
This whole narrative of Liverpool waiting for Jude Bellingham is so unbelievably insane. First of all, he will be offered double or treble our wages elsewhere and secondly, we will need a minimum of 2/ 3 new midfielders next season. don't hold your breath kids.

jimblelfc2005

1.) 31 Aug 2022 14:29:41
So he'll be offered £500-£750k a week so! we will pay top wages for bellingham. we will sign Bellingham and him Harvey nd Stefan will rock it up for the next decade. The future and present is Red lads.


2.) 31 Aug 2022 14:45:31
I'm not expecting Bellingham to join next season.

No doubt they'll be clubs offering £300k+ wages to the guy, so if Madrid or City want him we may just be priced out of a deal.


3.) 31 Aug 2022 14:53:21
I think we know what will happen as we’ve been here before. Next summer one of the oil teams or Real will offer the whole transfer fee up front whilst we’re talking about a Brighthouse style weekly payment plan. He’ll go elsewhere and then we’ll put our media statements that we did try to sign him but the economics made no sense. In the same press release announcing an extension for Milner and that Ox will be like a new signing. ?. You just know that this will happen.


4.) 31 Aug 2022 15:12:10
The whole transfer is pinned on us reaching champions league minimum I'd say. don't think the lad is greedy and has his heart set on joining liverpool personally. Forget the wages idea that won't come into it.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has no agreement with Dortmund at all.}


5.) 31 Aug 2022 15:25:17
Why are people losing energy over something a year into the future?

Also, pretty sure VVD could of doubled his wages to join city, but he chose us instead. Thiago specifically wanted to join us. Some people are just bought into the project, to Klopp or to our great club in general.

He might not sign but why don’t we just wait and see instead of pouring misery on any post relating to him? If we don’t sign him.


6.) 31 Aug 2022 15:32:43
Jesus H Christ, some of you must lead extremely boring lives if you're worried about something that may or may not happen in 12 months time. 1. We've 0 control over what's going to happen and 2. You could be dead and buried/ cremated by then.


7.) 31 Aug 2022 15:44:32
Bellingham is never coming to us, Just like Mario Gotze, Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz all so called linked and departed to elsewhere.

For £100Mill I rather have 3 other players and retire Milner. OX and Naby.


8.) 31 Aug 2022 16:01:50
Not very optimistic mane I'll live forever.


9.) 31 Aug 2022 16:15:14
I’m sure square tomato said he’s told the england camp that liverpool are his first choice.
If that’s true and we sign him then great, if not then that’s also great.
Not worth losing sleep over.


10.) 31 Aug 2022 16:43:07
The whole midfield situation is embarrassing really the way I look at this is either FSG are too tight to part with money or Klopp is too loyal to current players either way it’s a joke. Are you telling me that Tielemans isn’t better than Keita, Milner, jones? ?


11.) 31 Aug 2022 16:56:02
100M for overrated player. lol.


12.) 31 Aug 2022 17:04:11
Its both Whitewalker. Klopp too sentimental about players who are ageing expecting them to pull up trees as they did when we won the league. We do have some talented youth and maybe we should integrate them more. Plus FSG's transfer model is we live within our means. They are a business after all. They have invested in infrastructure which makes the business more viable when the time comes to sell. I just don't feel they prioritise transfers. There is a finite budget in that respect.


13.) 31 Aug 2022 17:33:18
Without wanting to sound flippant Whitewalker, Ox in a plaster casts on both legs and crutches is more mobile and active than Tielemans. He’s not exactly a hard worker and he’s not blessed with speed of movement or thought.


14.) 31 Aug 2022 17:48:36
Ox is a crock is tielemans? . Perhaps under klopp he would be a different player? . Just asking. don't particular mind him. Can tell he has it in his locker and doubt he'd get away with being lazy here.


15.) 31 Aug 2022 18:26:56
Naby’s got away with being lazy, so anything’s possible. I’d rather not take the risk out of desperation.


16.) 31 Aug 2022 18:29:15
He ain’t movin to us! We won’t be forking out 100m
For one player when we will
Need another 4 as well.


17.) 31 Aug 2022 18:31:56
A Shaq type of signing at best imo. IE he would not doubt make a few decent contributions but wouldn't be the difference between a league win and no league win.


18.) 31 Aug 2022 19:59:49
If Dortmund don’t want to sell and Bellingham is saying he doesn’t want to move this summer then we may have to pay twice or thrive to push a deal this summer with the key people who don’t want to do a deal this summer.

{Ed002's Note - There is no agreement with Dortmund.}


19.) 31 Aug 2022 22:35:33
If an established 19 year old Jude Bellingham is valued at 100 mill.

Then what makes us think that a 20 year old more established Jude Bellingham is still valued at 100 mill in a years time.


20.) 31 Aug 2022 23:07:45
Bellingham maybe, he is good but let's see how he does for England in the world cup . English players are often overrated and overpriced. there's a lot of quality in other leagues especially the portuguese. Spending all your money on one midfielder makes little footballing sense and even less business sense. Hopefully Liverpool will use their rich tradition of data analysis and find a few players who are perhaps less popular but with as much potential. in January or next summer.


21.) 01 Sep 2022 01:12:48
JK - what his value is in a year's time, it'll be twice or thrice that to prise him away from dortmund now like the OP seems to think we can do lol.


22.) 01 Sep 2022 08:32:32
Begs the question why did LFC not buy him from Birmingham as a 17 year old, was it not worth a gamble at the time when fee would of been buttons compared to his value now, Dortmund took the gamble it paid off " who dares wins ", is Haaland another example of another Dortmund player we missed out on.

Perhaps because Jurgen who was a Dortmund manager in the past has vowed not to do any business with Dortmund as a sign of mutual respect, we will never know but it certainly begs the question.

{Ed001's Note - because he made it plain he wanted to go to Germany to join Dortmund.}


23.) 01 Sep 2022 10:29:02
007, Klopp has been away from Dortmund for 7 years, I don't think there's many players there that even played under him back then, so I don't think any unwritten, possibly fictitious agreement to not sign Dortmund players still stands.

This is all a bit silly, no? There's no way of knowing whether we'll sign Bellingham or someone else, or who would be the best signing. I'm fairly certain nobody thought Carvalho would be proving to be the most exciting of our summer signings so far, so just try and enjoy the ride!


24.) 01 Sep 2022 12:47:58
Why didn't he fancy signing Haaland then only £51 Million, Nunez £85 Million. Could have bought a midfielder with the money difference as well.


25.) 01 Sep 2022 13:39:46
I don't think Haaland wanted to join us, and it's fairly well known that the overall cost was nowhere near £51m for him. He is, however, a genetic freak.

{Ed002's Note - Haaland never had the option to join Liverpool.}


26.) 01 Sep 2022 13:39:46

27.) 01 Sep 2022 22:57:38
The costs involved in the Haaland transfer were way more than 51 million.

Keita being targeted by PSG for €50 mill so the rumour goes. If it's true I'll drive him there myself.

24 Dec 2023 07:56:07
We played really well. And they were there for the taking.
Salah is really off it apart from the goal
Not sure we should persist with Gakpo and Nunez anymore. Jota, although can't trap a bag of sand, is our most natural finisher up top.
Endo was fantastic
Gravenberch needs time
It WAS a handball
How didn't we score with 5/ 6 going forward.
Gomez will make a fine left back until Robbo is back.
Get well soon Tsimikas.

jimblelfc2005

1.) 24 Dec 2023 10:04:39
Drop off from Jones to Grav was massive. Starting to see why he struggled to get a game for Bayern. Far too ponderous and really doesn’t like to put a challenge in. Wouldn’t be anywhere near my starting 11 currently.
Salah is awful and I’ve been saying this for ages. 1 good moment doesn’t replace 10/ 20 bad ones per game.
Endo was brilliant, Konate was brilliant and Virg is looking so imposing again.
Really concerned about Diaz. Was quickly becoming my favourite player when he came
In but wow he’s been awful and looks
Like he can’t beat a player.


2.) 24 Dec 2023 12:26:46
Ryan struggled badly when he came on. I think Klopp was going Elliott and Nunez as the subs but Diaz getting injured forced him to call Ryan in too.


3.) 24 Dec 2023 12:53:43
Brummy, that sub did not make sense at all. I know that Jones was goosed and all that BUT Gravenberch did not turn up at all. Like you, I would not start him nor play him until he improves his overall game cos he is getting worse the more I see him.

As for us, we played very well and defensively won near ALL our individual battles. On another day, we get the pen, Trent scores and we win the game. We were just unlucky in those situations cos we clearly deserved to have them due to our very good play at times. Still a bit of poor decision-making in the final 3rd and DIaz and Gakpo still struggling BUT all in all, a ver good outing and we can improve on that, IMO.


 

 

30 Aug 2023 14:17:57
Why do we and other clubs make it hard for themselves by leaving signings to the last few days/ hours? Is it some sort of brinkmanship? Whoever blinks first? Because its a crappy way to do business and you get landed with an Arthur Melo.
Would we see it as a partial failure of our supposed "big summer spending" transfer window? I know I would.

jimblelfc2005

1.) 30 Aug 2023 14:42:32
It’s only really us and United in this position. United have been the poster-boy for board level incompetence in the transfer market since Fergie left. We were very much the opposite until recently but we have now joined them in that regard. The only real difference is we have much less money to throw around.


2.) 30 Aug 2023 14:59:43
City don’t have these problems it seems. Nunes in the door now for them should slot in nicely on the midfield.


3.) 30 Aug 2023 15:05:20
I prefer to think of it as going window shopping for a new outfit seeing that there isn’t anything largely of right value out there in comparison to current wardrobe and coming to the conclusion that, unless there is a retailer price drop (which can happen as we near the end of the season and they want to get rid of intended sale stock) I’m going to stick with the clothes I have - which ain’t that bad anyway!


4.) 30 Aug 2023 15:08:12
We are signing nobody! We will soon start to hear “Market is tight and let’s see what happens in January” nonsense. According to some Doucoure value would be halved in 6 months time.


5.) 30 Aug 2023 15:14:22
City don't have the problem? They just signed Nunes only today if they didn't get him they would have the problem but I suppose people can say what they wish to suit the narrative.


6.) 30 Aug 2023 15:16:15
Metro I would agree but the issue at the moment is it’s coming up to winter and we’re walking around in our undies. We really should buy a new outfit.


7.) 30 Aug 2023 15:23:07
So City sign someone with two days to go and don't have"these"problems yet us and utd are incompetent.


8.) 30 Aug 2023 15:26:56
None of these guys are world beaters, plus they will have to be shaped, moulded and gelled into the squad and team, which is ok when you have an already fully gelled squad/ team and being in 2 or 3!

Too many changes to one working team in any one short timeframe can often do opposing damage and, actually, Klopp being a people person knows that.

He introduces typically over time unless forced to do otherwise. There is an element of force this season as we know but if it is overdone the consequences could be messy!

I think there is a correctly assessed wariness associated with that and, whilst we might still sign someone, it is seen correctly as not an urgency particularly if not at the right price or at the right incoming characteristic.

On that last point character is particularly key and seemingly why we went for Endo.

I’m worried not I’d be more worried if the management team took too much notice of the doubting fans that know little about team building at this level.


9.) 30 Aug 2023 15:39:24
I think I'm beginning to think the same unfortunately. We are in desperate need of bodies but just can't see it. Fingers crossed and I can have a large portion of humble pie.


10.) 30 Aug 2023 15:39:44
ManCity got deal done once Nunes downes tools and refused to train - it happens at most teams.


11.) 30 Aug 2023 15:40:43
Theres no need to be in the position we are. Its just a daft way to run a business. People know we have money and this close to the window closing, they can just name silly prices. Not sure how much of a fan backlash there will be if we start getting injuries and dropping points etc but they will only have themselves to blame. Cue the apologists for Jorg, Klopp, Hogan etc. Stevie Wonder himself can see where we need to improve the squad.


12.) 30 Aug 2023 16:13:34
We’ve been in this position far too many times and it doesn’t end well. It’s almost as if the owners don’t care, wonder what happened to that Caicedo money? If it ever existed at all of course.


13.) 30 Aug 2023 16:20:32
Because we gave Klopp/ Lijnders all of the power.

Because nobody knew how to update the inflation line in Michael Edwards' player valuation spreadsheet.

Because our relationships with agents left with the previous Sporting Directors.


14.) 30 Aug 2023 16:24:05
Who want a player that throws their toys out of the pram, downs tools, etc etc?

We are good guys we have an able squad we have a more than able manager who knows more than us!

Here we go again doom gloom more doom more gloom on the scale of fullness of glasses we have barely full in abundance ?.


15.) 30 Aug 2023 16:43:10
The club should take our feelings into account. Keeping us waiting like this is just so unfair!


16.) 30 Aug 2023 16:53:54

Leave it till next summer

Then say “it’s difficult because of the euros”.

God I’m glad I Manage to steer clear of you lot at Anfield ???.


19.) 30 Aug 2023 17:29:50
What happened last season then Metrored? Do remind me of how glorious that was? Many of us voiced concerns about the squad and the need to make signings only to be greeted with the kind of sanctimonious response you’ve come out with. Supporters like you were wrong then and you’ll be shown to be wrong again. The lack of quality and quality in depth will be our undoing. Once again, the indifference, negligence, parsimony and incompetence of the owners will likely cost us another season.


20.) 30 Aug 2023 17:44:17
We're about to be needlessly left short in an area for the fourth season in a row, for the last three we blamed 'bad luck' when we ended up dropping points because we were short of players in the exact positions we knew we were short of all along

Something about the definition of insanity.


21.) 30 Aug 2023 17:55:38
I am available to fix the spreadsheet, Mike. Just putting that out there.


22.) 30 Aug 2023 17:56:31
I give up!

I’m not going to go on like I could do a better job because I couldn’t like everyone else on this site.

We are a top six club and, together with a couple of teams in the Spanish league and a couple in Germany perhaps they are 6 of the top 10 in Europe.

I want first spot, I don’t want any of the spaces below, but I am a top 6 club fan and so my team “expectation” is top 6 and I am not going to bust a blood vessel if they fall short of my want unless drastically and continuously.

Sometimes a top six club falls drastically short like Chelsea last year but it’s not like Grand Prix where you have a car that will win because of the car it’s about getting a group of players to operate as a team and to do that you need to build the team capability incorporating technical quality leadership quality and team qualities.

When changes come hard fast and many at a time it is mega difficult to do that trust me I know.

Right now we have a very capable squad and one I believe already has a team instinct with a few new bodies incorporated.

I’m behind and excited for this squad. Happy to be alone but in reality when your a red YNWA ?.

We’ve got plenty of players, you can still only play 11 and we seem to manage with 10.

There’s no CL this season.
5 places up for grabs in CL.

So time to give the fringe players a run and see what we’ve got.

Stop panicking.


24.) 30 Aug 2023 18:08:36
If we play are starting 11 in the EPL, then the rest of the squad in the cups (until late on) I don't see the issue.

Everyone is entitled to moan, but it's not for me!

I am happy if we do or don't sign another player. I am a supporter of LFC and my job is to support them no matter what, this is what I do. Every other job at the club is out of my control or knowledge base, so I trust those who are paid to do those jobs.

Well said Ron! My sentiments entirely - I should be as succinct but it all makes my blood boil the “I could do better view” without actually coming out and saying it. Truth is like we know they can’t!

Thanks Metro and good to see you ?

At the end of the day this is not a game of top trumps, it’s not the size of your squad that matters or the number of transfers you make or the net spend - it’s results of the matches.

So far this ‘weak squad’ that ‘needs bodies’ has won one home game against an established premier league team, drawn one away game against a team that’s spent over a billion in 2 years and won one away game against a 2022/ 3 top 4 team with maximum spending power.

Let’s all calm down, stop counting players and enjoy the contests.

Like I just wrote on the transfer rumours board this transfer window stuff really is starting to take a toll on some people.

Reading some of the increasingly angst ridden and negative stuff is actually starting to cause concern. It’s a sport and is meant to provide entertainment when all is said and done, it really is, and when people lose sight of this then you have to ask what’s the point.

Lots of Tinhat conspiracy theory rubbish in this post.

Hey Eds, I heard we had to "borrow" the money from a 3rd party to pay Szoboszlai's release in full. Is this common practice? And do football clubs just not have liquid assets of that kind of money to pay normally?

{Ed001's Note - yes it is very common and no they do not carry that kind of cash.}

Cheers Ed. Much appreciated.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

Ed01, better not let the FSG outers hear that cos they’ll lose their marbles should that be the case.

Virgil looked terrible the last few games. Worrying form. Fingers crossed we get his replacement in sooner rather than later. Maybe the break will do him good. Played a lot of footy this year.

We conceded 1 goal in Vvd’s last 4 games of the season.


2.) 18 Jun 2023 23:20:32
He didn't look too pretty for Holland today.


3.) 19 Jun 2023 08:50:32
Very few players had a consistently good season, do we get rid of them all?


4.) 19 Jun 2023 11:32:10
OP, that's not true. VVD had a crap season for sure but in the last 4 games, he upped his game. Two things can be correct at the same time.


5.) 19 Jun 2023 12:17:59
I was talking of his last few games for the Netherlands not Liverpool. But his overall season hasn't been great. The injury has definitely hampered his mentality I think. My point being is it's time to start the transition to somebody else. We spent £70+ mill on him so why not spend the same again on a replacement for the future. We should be getting Gavrdiol - I know we aren't but that's the level we need to target to compete again.


6.) 19 Jun 2023 13:34:14
Jimblelfc2005, We cannot afford him, man. It is what it is.

Messi to Liverpool. There, I said it. He's coming to play with his mate MacAllister hahaha ?.

To be honest I’d rather we signed Sanches - at least he’s just a footballer and not a travelling circus.

{Ed025's Note - but he is a bit of a clown WDW.. ?


2.) 04 May 2023 02:42:21
Hang on Ed - you usually wait til we sign them before you start making fun of them ?.

{Ed025's Note - you dont have to hit your thumb with a hammer to know it will hurt mate.. :)

Just crazy that we don't move him into midfield. Save a fortune on a midfielder and then buy a decent RB to help develop Ramsey/ Bradley etc. Im sure they've thought of this but Trent is so much more than a RB. HE will play where asked but you can tell he's dying to stay in the middle. He looks so much more at ease there.

Why do we persist on going after players who want elsewhere? Especially one that wants guaranteed playing time. Are Jorg and Klopp thick or what? Don't get the logic. Absolute shambles this window.

Spot on We The Reds
Poor transfer windows. We nearly won a historic quadruple and probably would have done with the right players in this windows. Crazy behaviour.

I have to agree. Transfer window of late has been a complete shambles. I know there’s a week or so to go and adding Szoboszlai, Macca and Endo is great but to not add anyone else will be a partial failure of a summer transfer window where we were led to believe it would be huge. If we don’t get a recognised No6 and CB, Klopp and Jorg need to accept responsibility as they’re the ones who are apparently identifying targets. I’m actually glad we didn’t sign Caicedo now as I think IF we had, there would be nothing left in the pot for anyone else. It’s all too quiet. Going after targets like Gravenberch and Doucoure are all very well but leaving it late will hamper any chance as their clubs wil need time to sign replacements so they just won’t sell them.

Why would he sign for us? We’ve clearly messed him around with the failed Caicedo pursuit. He’s 19 so has potential but why get annoyed. If he doesn’t want to play for us then let’s move on.
Let’s go sign Luis or Doucoure etc. there’s other targets. Don’t just focus on what Chelsea are doing. They may all fail there. No one knows.

Theres no need to be in the position we are. Its just a daft way to run a business. People know we have money and this close to the window closing, they can just name silly prices. Not sure how much of a fan backlash there will be if we start getting injuries and dropping points etc but they will only have themselves to blame. Cue the apologists for Jorg, Klopp, Hogan etc. Stevie Wonder himself can see where we need to improve the squad.

You can’t replace Salah but you can adapt a system to include a new player. We would evolve. Hard to replace but it’s happened before and it’ll happen again. It’s football.
£150 - £200 mill would be hard to turn down and one would hope it would be reinvested in players.
