Yeh he's got coutinhoitis.

Any of our players attracting particular interest from other clubs at this moment? Thanks.

Sakho was wanted by Sevilla and Southampton but we priced him out of a permanent move.

Lucas has always been wanted by Inter Milan. Probably still is.

West Ham are apparently keen on Sturridge.

PSG and Barcelona want Coutinho.

PSG are also credited with interest in Firmino and Lallana but that seems unsubstantiated at best and complete fairytale at worst!

Aside from that it is still unclear who might be going and where they will be going.

I don't think anyone in the squad except Mane, Matip, Wijnaldum and Henderson are guaranteed to be in our first choice starting XI next season. The next likely after that would be Firmino and Karius.

Some because we will want rid, some because we will replace them, and some because they will want out.


2.) 04 Mar 2017 13:43:37
Wijinaldum has done nothing to be a 'guaranteed first choice' player. He blows hot and cold all the time and rarely lifts himself against the smaller teams - he has a lot to prove.


3.) 04 Mar 2017 15:49:01
He was the same for Newcastle. Doubt he's going to change tbh.


4.) 04 Mar 2017 20:19:36
Done nothing except score crucial goals against Chelsea, Man City and now Arsenal! Not to mention his stunning performance against Spurs. He is our new Dutchman for the big occasions!

He is so under rated. I am torn between Gini and Mane as our player of the season so far. He was signed as a left attacking midfielder and put in a much deeper role by Klopp, yet he has adapted so quickly and seems to get better and better every week! I cannot express enough just how highly I rate him.


5.) 05 Mar 2017 04:10:31
As I said he doesn't turn up against the smaller teams - where was the energy and intensity and box-to-box runs vs Leicester? Or is all we crave now are players who'll turn up for a few big games and go missing in all the others? He has been wildly inconsistent this season and this past week of football illustrates that perfectly. Once again Adam you are wildly optimistic about just how good a player is - Wijinaldum our player of the season? Get a grip mate.


6.) 05 Mar 2017 05:17:07
Seano - no one in this team turns up every game. You need to reallywatch games again and put the outcome to the side in order to make a proper assessment. He is as energetic in losses as he was today. but we lost. that clouds all the judgement of him.


7.) 05 Mar 2017 08:19:33
In my opinion, nobody has consistently improved throughout the season more than Wijnaldum. And he is the least inconsistent of the whole bunch. His position depends entirely on the players around him. If they don't turn up for a game, then he can't be blamed for it. He's just another underappreciated player like Henderson. I really wonder what some of the others here, are looking at during games.

{Ed025's Note - wijnaldum is decent ra but he has to produce more often for me, the guy has a great engine but drifts in and out of games mate..


8.) 05 Mar 2017 13:44:26
I just realized that I am blind. Wijnaldum has been one of our most consistent performers. Neat on the ball, is tough, good movement, gets in the right positions, doesn't lose the ball and has a great engine. He does need to improve his final ball and scoring ability (I know he has scored some key goals but still) but that will come. He isn't flashy but efficient and effective. I can't believe people are talking negative about him. Who exactly in our midfield will you replace him with?


9.) 05 Mar 2017 18:18:43
Wijnaldum is 2 thirds into his first season with us so is just about settled in. I think he's done really well considering.

{Ed002's Note - What! A player settling in to Liverpool after only two-thirds of a season - surely not?}


10.) 05 Mar 2017 17:56:21
MK, sportsman bet, Wiji will not be a regular starter next season.


11.) 05 Mar 2017 18:40:11
I like him a lot and i think he will become a top player for Liverpool, much like Henderson is now.


12.) 05 Mar 2017 19:38:08
Exactly Faith in works. I think he is one of our most consistent players. The issue is that as a deeper midfielder he cannot influence the score line directly as often as he did at Newcastle.

His tracking of runners, tackling, passing, pressing, energy and movement is always there. He is one of the few intelligent players we have. He picks the right moments to go forward which is why he so rarely gets caught out of position. Against stronger sides when he can see nobody is getting into the box he makes the decision to break into the box and it has paid off for him.

Seano I think you're being way too harsh. Out of every player in our squad, Gini and Mane are the only guys who always put in a 7/ 10 performance or better. They never have a game where they are glaringly bad or massively at fault. Testimony to Klopp's vision that is, because most people thought they were dreadful signings 6 months ago.

I am not wildly over rating him anyway. I'm not sitting here saying he is world class or the best in the league etc. I am simply saying that in my opinion he has been one of our top performers. I am entitled to my opinion thank you very much. He is still new to the role, still about 3 years off peak age for a midfielder, and he shows desire to learn. I think he could be a bit more vocal but he is an all round great midfielder. He is good at everything and bad at nothing. He just needs to become great at a few things, continue this form in top European competition, and then he can take a step up to the next level and we can HOPEFULLY talk about him potentially being world class in a few years time.


13.) 06 Mar 2017 00:16:33
Mane has been player of the season, by a mile, he's an incredible and his pace and skill scare the opposition. Wijnaldum has pleasantly surprised me. Still think we need a bit more bite in midfield as I think we are too easily out muscled, but you can't knock Wijnaldums effort and commitment.


14.) 06 Mar 2017 21:53:23
Wijnaldum has pleasantly surprised me but as for player of the season? Not for me. Lallana has pleasantly surprised me, I wanted him gone last summer but he has made huge improvements but like Wijnaldum has blown far too hot and cold. Firmino or Mane for me, Mane the reasons are obvious but Firmino for his work rate. The high press would be a massive fail without him, his energy and leading the press from the front is fantastic. If only he would score a few more. I don't think Firmino is a striker though to be fair.


15.) 07 Mar 2017 12:51:40
Wiji has been solid rather than spectacular. or does he seem better than he is due to can being terrible this season.
Personally against the lesser side I'd like to see coutinho drop into midfield and control the game more.
Or go to 4.2.3.1 either way we need pace on the left side.

Everyone seems to be assuming we'll be getting an expensive CF, LW and CB this window. Unless we get some silly Saudi money again then I severely doubt we'd be making any further big money signings if we get Wirtz over the line. It's just not in our nature to spend like that. Why would that change after 1 year of slot, when Klopp was never really given free reign like that without big sales.

1.) 06 Jun 2025 17:41:44
Because years of prudence and proper management has culminated in a giant size opportunity, where the stars all align at the same time :

-A great new manager and coaching team
-Our two biggest names signing on for 2 more years
-FFP allowances in a good place
-A dip in form and possible changing of the old guard as Real and City go through changes
-World class / the right players being available
-Over 300m in sales possible between CK, Gomez, Quansah, Endo, Elliott, Nunez, Diaz, jota, Fede, Morton, Koumas, Tsimi, Robbo.
-An opportunity to dominate european football for a decade or more, as we once did.


2.) 06 Jun 2025 17:55:11
I do agree that the financial outlay being projected completely goes against what we have experienced as a business before now, bar maybe a few transfer windows where we have ‘splashed the cash’ for the time. We do have a lot of surplus players that we’re clearly looking to move on that can generate decent fees and I do see that being reinvested, but without sales to the likes of Diaz or Gakpo, I don’t see how we would get high profile expensive players in the forward positions (LW, striker) once Wirtz is over the line.

Saying that, I do think Michael Edwards returning has probably made certain moves being given the green light and sanctioned by FSG more likely. I think he is clearly trusted by the owners and in-turn they are more likely to produce a higher than usual financial outlay on incoming transfers, so who knows, we could be surprised this summer and we might show intent to stay successful on the pitch as well off the pitch.

I do think when it comes to CB, the club will ideally like to extend Konate deal and get in a promising young CB with a high ceiling for a low fee, whilst probably offloading one of Gomez or quansah.


3.) 06 Jun 2025 18:07:39
Al just get my coat I will go tell PSG that vango lad.


4.) 06 Jun 2025 18:40:55
Ed001 himself has said we have the capacity to spend big for a forward if a player we want is available. Nobody expected us to go big for wirtz and we did, none of us really know what kind of money the club are willing and are allowed to spend.


5.) 06 Jun 2025 18:49:00
This morning's paper rumours:

Chelsea after Kudus
Arteta chasing Rogers (Roy! ) on a horse called Trigger!
Newcastle have signed Spain U19 winger Antonio Cordero following expiry of Malaga contract.
Genk attacking midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas is close to joining arteta for £38 million. The 17 year old will then return to the Belgian club on loan.
Arse-nal defender Nuno Tavares has joined Lazio for 6 million.

Arne-Field to raid old club Feyernoord for 24 year old Dutch Footballer of the year Igor Paixao (Brazilian Forward)
34 matches 16 goals 10 assists, 24-25 season.


6.) 06 Jun 2025 20:23:32
Shearer and Richard are a pair of chumps. Utterly clueless, Shearer is a miserable anti-Liverpool moron and Richards concocts wild theories that go down quicker than his career. Coutinho wasn’t a physical player and he was world clsss.

{Ed025's Note - for me FK he was neither physical or world class mate..


7.) 06 Jun 2025 22:05:29
frode kippers, Alan shearer has always been gracious towards LFC and to be honest so has Richards . They were only saying he may struggle in the premiere physically but has all the skills needed to overcome that. I believe it will take Wirtz a bit of time to adjust but will come good as they say cream always rises to the top YNWA.


8.) 06 Jun 2025 22:32:03
Coiutinho definitely had the physical attributes to be world class but the Barcelona move killed his career and it takes more than just talent to be world class.

Really hope that wasn't Trents last game for Liverpool. Would be a sad way to finish.

1.) 12 Mar 2025 12:48:19
Agree, livered. It didn't look good when he went off.


 

 

22 Jan 2025 18:51:27
Bit of a shame that Liverpool don't seem to be getting involved with the chase for Cunha. Maybe one for the summer if he's still at Wolves and we can find a buyer for Nunez or Jota?

livered

1.) 22 Jan 2025 21:07:54
We're monitoring him.


2.) 22 Jan 2025 21:39:52
Seem to be more and more clubs linked to him, could turn into an auction which won’t appeal to us. Looks like it’s all focus on the contract renewals for Jan.


3.) 22 Jan 2025 23:43:50
Because signing someone without monitoring them first would be great business, wouldn't it?


4.) 23 Jan 2025 01:17:54
Iirc, the last player we signed without any monitoring was Keita, who was signed under the recommendations of Mane and we didn't do the checks we regularly do before signing him. That turned out well, didn't it ;)


5.) 23 Jan 2025 07:39:52
@Jordan, contract negotiations have nothing to do with transfer windows. It’s not beyond reasonable expectations that a £ multi billion business could have some people to ‘do transfers’ and some other people to ‘do contracts’.

That said I’m leaning towards having a fiver on the club announcing the three have renewed their contracts as the transfer window comes to an end. That way we can have a pantomime argument (‘oh no it isn’t, oh yes it is’) when the first person makes the inevitable ‘they are like three new signings’ comment which is bound to get the FSG non-believers going.

Unless he actively wants to leave then I really hope we keep hold of Robbo. Excellent personality to have around the place, a leader and great experience.

Why? Players come and go. The only public comment he has made this summer was pretty honest and respectful in my opinion.

Completely agree MK. He's simply not as good as we thought when we bought so we're obviously going to make a big loss on him.

If Saudi don't want to pay silly money then to be honest I'd say Nunez is worth no more than £40million plus some add ons. How much would you be happy to see us pay for a striker who has deteriorated over the last 3 years and coming off a season having scored 7 goals?

I think he's started with Quansah a few times and they have always looked pretty shaky together. But that could be more on Quansah.

The game has changed and wingers are a big source of goals rather than purely creators now. Messi, Ronaldo, Salah, Mbappe. But there are still elite strikers in the 2020's: Lewandowski, Haaland, Benzema, Kane.

Torres was the big one for me. At that time we never really spent big on a player and Torres was absolute class.
