Question for the Eds. Were the club seriously thinking of letting Jones go in the Summer?
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of efforts to sell him but there was interest but I doubt the club would have sold unless the player pushed to leave.}
1.) 22 Sep 2021 15:31:02
Jones was excellent against Norwich. I know everyone is very excited at Elliott, and that there was some discussion Jone's role as a result, but I think we need both for the future, with Jones more of a no.8 (and doing a very credible job at 6 last night) and Elliott more of a no.10. Tyler Morton was also a really interesting prospect coming on late. Was very impressed with his little cameo.
2.) 22 Sep 2021 17:44:33
Tyler came on at 45 minutes so not exactly a cameo. arguably best player on pitch for 45!
3.) 22 Sep 2021 17:53:20
I can see Jones spending his career at the club. I’m not sure what his ceiling will be but I imagine he will certainly be good enough to be a squad player at least.
4.) 22 Sep 2021 21:24:42
I hope we don’t sell him, scouser through and through, puts everything on the pitch.
5.) 23 Sep 2021 12:57:28
Jones is the sort of player that title winning squads need, especially when you have a manager like klopp who likes a smaller squad. He can play in a bunch of positions, he's got a great attitude and has plenty of time and room to keep improving with.
31 Jul 2021 20:43:59
Hi Ed’s,
I’ve read today of interest from several English clubs, including Liverpool, in Juve’s Swedish winger Dejan Kulusevski
Are you aware of any truth in it? I’d not heard of the fella but a quick bit of research said he’s a versatile forward who can also play in midfield - so pretty much fits the bill for LFC.
Thanks mate.
{Ed002's Note - Dejan Kulusevski (RW/AM/F) Returned last summer from loan at Parma and has proven himself this past season and will be given the opportunity to replace Dybala or Bernardeschi in the first team going forward. Has been watched by a number of sides but not available unless a very good offer is made. Paratici may see if the player can be taken to Spurs.}
1.) 01 Aug 2021 04:58:23
Take him all day long. Actual Klopp era signing.
2.) 01 Aug 2021 15:32:03
Would be a quality signing. Think the man can cover central midfield too, so could be two birds with one stone. Probably not going to happen but one can dream.
10 Jan 2019 20:35:56
I was watching a Gary Neville interview today from early this season where he grudgingly admitted Liverpool had a realistic chance of winning the League this season, but he made a point of saying the amount of games we played would massively effect our challenge.
Got me thinking about the FA Cup. I know if Lovren has stayed on it might’ve been different but does anybody think that was a game Klopp played to lose? Like why bring the kid on for Lovren if you wanted the win - wasn’t TAA on the bench? Cynical I know, and a massive gamble, but might he have looked at the big picture and just thought sack it off? I’m not saying either way but wondered what you lot thought.
{Ed025's Note - i think your right pompey, even when you equalized he never cracked a smile, which is unusual for him as hes usually like a raving lunatic on acid..
1.) 10 Jan 2019 20:58:20
Do you really think that TAA would have performed better than Hoever at CB? TAA is no central defender, and has already been called out for suspect positioning when defending. Ki-Jana seems to be able to play right back and cover CB. TAA is playing right back but can play centre midfield.
What were the other options? There's no way he could have moved Camacho into central defence and obviously couldn't have moved Moreno there either. I think Ki-Jana was the only real obvious solution.
Gini wasn't even on the bench, who has played there once or twice when we've really needed him to.
I don't think any other substitution would have made sense apart from bringing Hoever on.
2.) 10 Jan 2019 21:06:18
He announced to the whole world that Mignolet AND Moreno would start. Clearly winning the match was not very important to him. He figured he could allow 20mins to salvage it and hopefully play a lesser opponent next round, but the match was not important to Klopp. I myself would very much love to win the FA cup soon but never mind.
3.) 10 Jan 2019 22:22:51
Why would Klopp have brought on Salah and Firmino if he wanted to lose the game? He wanted to win the game but he also wanted to rest certain players who have played almost every game recently.
4.) 10 Jan 2019 22:53:53
The Premier League should be our number one priority then Champions League. FA Cup and League Cup are bonus if we win it nice if not don't care.
5.) 11 Jan 2019 02:40:28
I disagree, he wouldn't have played Salah and Firmino if he wanted to lose. It's dangerous to draw the match and face a replay next week, so why put those two in as substitute?
6.) 11 Jan 2019 02:58:02
I found it surprising didn’t at least have VVD, Hendo or Gini on the bench - we were clearly short senior players in midfield/ defence in our starting lineup so if he’d really cared about the result that much, he would have had at least one or two of those as backup there.
I don’t think he deliberately wanted to lose, but he clearly wasn’t fussed enough about the result to risk depleting and already thin defence with another injury. I also don’t believe all three of those were nursing niggles, he just wanted to make sure they were available against Brighton.
{Ed001's Note - van Dijk was ill and couldn't play. Gini and Hendo both needed a rest badly.}
7.) 11 Jan 2019 07:27:09
Depends if you think playing a kid CB at CB is more of a giveaway than play a kid RB/ CM at CB!?
8.) 11 Jan 2019 07:37:02
You can’t win anything with kids.
9.) 11 Jan 2019 08:40:38
Interesting Ed - I don’t agree with throwing cups games, but if the case is the team needed the rest or risk jeopardizing their PL performances then I completely agree with what he did.
{Ed001's Note - with those two it was more a case of risking injury if they had played.}
10.) 11 Jan 2019 09:01:24
I don’t think he ‘threw’ the game but I also don’t think he was too concerned about winning it. Yes he brought Salah and Bobby on but only for 20 minutes when it was clear either one or both should have come on at half time. Watching the pair of them I also thought they played within themselves, perhaps being told to take it easy.
He said himself before the game winning the FA Cup will not stop people moaning it has to be the league or CL.
Perhaps Lovren’s injury had an effect on his attitude towards the game and in the end he just just sacrificed it rather than risking further injuries to first team players.
11.) 11 Jan 2019 15:31:05
If we had no chance of winning the league I'd have been bothered about going out of the cup. I actually can't even remember who won it last year. The league is the clear priority with CL second.
12.) 11 Jan 2019 16:53:06
Even with the kids and the total disruption to the defence, if it hadn't been for our own mistakes, I don't think Wolves would have scored at all. Mignolet had absolutely nothing to do throughout the whole game.
I think Klopp put a team out and hoped we might get through, but probably didn't expect to. As stated earlier, there was zero reaction from him when we equalized.
I just hope we can pick up the points tomorrow in what will be a very tricky fixture.
13.) 11 Jan 2019 18:32:48
Agree KBL. Wolves didn’t look great. Certainly not enough to bother our 1st 11. got to say apart from Milly and Fab the other established squad players were poor - Origi, Sturridge and Shaq particularly. I’ve still got high hopes for Keita though. With a bit of confidence he’ll be fine. Think he’s got to be central though or maybe further up. Doesn’t look like the hard graft of chasing back comes naturally to him. Probably not a good idea to play him in the same team as Shaq let alone Sturridge aswell.
14.) 12 Jan 2019 11:05:06
Klopp took the game as an "inconvenience" and that is the way we played it. Even when Origi scored, it seemed Klopp's head was elsewhere. Do I want to win the FA Cup? Of course. I want to win every game we play BUT there is what I want and what the reality of football actually is. Players needed a rest and those that needed it, got the rest and that to Klopp, was the most important thing regardless of what I think.
15.) 13 Jan 2019 13:47:53
The only thing that matters right now is racking up enough points over the next 12 weeks to win the title.
It's been almost 30 years and I would like to see it happen again before I leave this earth.
I don't believe in "throwing games", and no LFC team should ever do that.
But we may not have a chance like this again for several years, and it would be extremely short-sighted to do anything that jeopardizes the collecting of the 40 or so EPL points we need from our remaining 16 games.
That includes the Bayern Munich game, four days before we play United.
30 May 2018 21:36:37
Couple of quick questions for the Eds ref Fabinho? I think you said we beat Atletico Madrid to his signature; do you know why the Madrid deal fell through? And secondly, were any other clubs seriously interested at the price being asked? Thanks ðŸ‘ðŸ».
{Ed002's Note - Atletico Madrid turned to Fabinho after their first choice for this summer had shunned them over concerns about playing time. They had also shown interest last summer but the offer to buy him and not take delivery to January fell on deaf ears. They returned a few weeks ago and had held some early discussions with Monaco which resulted in a stalemate as a price could not be agreed between clubs. They returned again to talk on Saturday but they again could not agree a price.
Of the clubs previously interested, Juventus had originally wanted him as a RB but he was not first choice so it drifted away; Arsenal had baulked at the asking price - set high as part payment will be due to Rio Ave, Fluminense and Paulinia; Manchester United let their interest wane, largely because the player wanted a move to Manchester City, and they moved on to another target - who will also not be signing for them; PSG were only planning to use him as cover and thought him too expensive for that purpose. It was made clear last summer to the other sides who enquired (including Liverpool) that he would not be sold until this summer.}
1.) 30 May 2018 22:27:47
Great info Ed02. I think He will be a top player for us.
2.) 30 May 2018 23:27:33
Thank you Ed. ✅.
3.) 31 May 2018 00:09:41
Ed002 just out of curiosity was Manchester United's other target Savic?
{Ed002's Note - Not for that position.}
4.) 31 May 2018 00:25:15
It was Jorginho and even he said no to utd.
5.) 31 May 2018 00:52:19
From what I gather PSG wanted him last year but Monaco refused to sell to their rival. Player was not happy but got heas down.
6.) 31 May 2018 04:04:41
I wonder who Atletico’s first choice was?
7.) 31 May 2018 05:52:52
Did you know how much is lfc transfer budget for the next season ed?
{Ed001's Note - it does not work like that.}
8.) 31 May 2018 04:48:36
Just shows how many different factors can come into play with regards to transfers - and also shows why things can and do change so quickly. Interesting stuff Ed.
27 Dec 2017 20:31:17
Hi Ed's,
Are you aware of any firm interest from other clubs in any of our players?
I don't think anyone will be surprised if Couts leaves in the Summer but is there any interest in our Goalkeepers or defenders? I just have a hunch the Jan shopping is not over with Virgil (New keeper maybe) and some outs may also be on the horizon.
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - The club will look to sell Markovic and sell or loan Wilson. Grujic and Woodburn should leave on loan. Coutinho interests Barcelona and Salah Real Madrid. Interest in Manefrom Madrid has gone. Ward will look for an out in the summer. There was interest from Spain in Sturridge and Ings could get a loan. Origi will likely look to options in the summer. Flanagan perhaps will look elsewhere.}
1.) 27 Dec 2017 20:44:01
I bet you feel like a parrot at times Ed2 mate lol.
2.) 27 Dec 2017 20:44:56
Thanks Ed ðŸ‘ðŸ».
3.) 27 Dec 2017 21:13:41
Not including Salah and Coutinho all of those players leaving could add up to a nice sum of money.
4.) 27 Dec 2017 21:21:54
Including salah and coutinho, it could add up to a lot more.
5.) 27 Dec 2017 23:50:47
U guys joking or what? Salah won't be leaving LFC in the near future. Perhaps in 3/ 4 years after performing consistently. I hope we start winning things quickly to avoid this.
{Ed002's Note - Try the search engine - you need to understand that clubs become interested in players doing well - particularly those who approach them. }
6.) 28 Dec 2017 08:15:38
You watch, we will build a solid defence and then the attack will get sold haha, I think we could cope with the loss of Coutinho with a top replacement brought in but to lose Salah too so early would be a blow, Van Dijk coming in and Keita in the summer gives our team a stronger look already, add to that a top keeper and more than likely a solid left back and we can look to push at challenging for top spot or a trophy, now let's hope Klopp takes off his blinkers regarding Mignolet, Ward deserves a shot now in the league as Karius is playing CL, any firm interest in us looking at Keepers Ed? Anyone been approached that you know of?
{Ed001's Note - not that I am aware of. We have had a fair few looked at but nothing firm yet.}
7.) 28 Dec 2017 12:53:02
If ward doesn't get the FA cup game to impress then he should be demanding a move. The other two have had chances.
8.) 28 Dec 2017 18:38:03
Can anyone give the date of when Ed2 discussed the interest in Salah - if I'm reading this right? I used the search but there are pages and pages of results.
Cheers in advance.
{Ed002's Note - A few weeks ago - Salah had his representitives approach Real Madrid. Maybe search on Hazard or Neymar. Interesting to see Klopp telling the press about his apology for substituting him - anyway, this "lack of respect" has caused his agent to request a meeting.

If we ever break our transfer record again I'd be more than happy with Jude Bellingham.
Makes you wonder why no English clubs got the deal done before he went to Dortmund. Probably due to game time I suspect.
1.) 05 Sep 2021 19:16:26
I feel like he'll be similar to Mbappe in that he'll only leave when his contract expires. I don't think many clubs could afford him, if any.
2.) 05 Sep 2021 20:54:21
I’ve said it before and will say it again, Bellingham is Hendo’s successor. The lad has all the tools to be a great, providing he continues to work hard. Problem is, every man and his dog will be after his signature but I would quite happily break our transfer record for the lad.
3.) 05 Sep 2021 22:36:22
Fantastic young player but can’t see us being able to sign him.
29 Jul 2021 10:05:11
Eds do selling clubs regularly raise their prices if a presumed 'moneybags' club makes an offer?
Wondered if transfers are ever conducted anonymously eg: the player and agent are aware of the buying club but the selling club just agree the fee with an intermediary?
{Ed002's Note - (a) Some clubs do charge a premium to English sides. (b) No.}
1.) 29 Jul 2021 16:20:23
Cheers Ed. ðŸ‘ðŸ».
25 Jun 2021 18:41:11
Here's one for yer. Who's your favourite pundit? Who's the most insightful, who's the funniest and who winds you up?
Also, who would you love to see as a pundit but never did it? Kenny Dalglish anyone?
1.) 25 Jun 2021 18:56:22
I actually really like Jermaine Jenas. Fabregas and Viera are good too as they offer a different perspective coming from a different football system and philosophy. Souness is okay i guess but he has agenda's against certain players in a few rare cases.
Shearer, Muphy, Scott, Neville, Carragher, Keane, Owen, Ferdinand etc are all absolutely dreadful. I mute the half time discussion if any of them are present.
The quality has dropped massively since the days of Alan Hansen though.
2.) 25 Jun 2021 18:59:48
I know he’s a nutter but during Dean Saunders radio commentary on Wales v Turkey he said ‘Wales are all over em. We could’ve scored 4 in that last attack’ 😂.
3.) 25 Jun 2021 20:13:23
Surely not jenas mate he's as bad as hoddle. the standard has dropped incredibly with a commentator on RTE the other day proclaiming with pride that the team that scored the most goals in the game would have a good chance of winning. it really has gotten shocking punditry and commentary alike.
Especially for commentary I would like to see two colour commentators along side one play by play rather than the one and one we have now. I feel this would allow for a more conversational discussion about the match as it's going on and might actually get better insight out from them bouncing ideas off each other.
4.) 25 Jun 2021 19:14:47
I like the lady they have on bbc at the moment. Not sure her name. I used to love Des Lynam. The Clint Eastwood of punditry. But most of the experts wind me up. The soccer saturday brigade being the worst. Merson is an idiot who can barely string a sentence together, Nicholas is just a bitter nasty piece of work who seems obsessed with wages, Sadly Le Tissier acts like something off Men Behaving Badly and Jeff Stelling eggs them on. I grew up with James Pearce I think his name is from football Italia. He knew his onions and was hilarious to boot.
5.) 25 Jun 2021 19:27:20
Also speaking of football italia I used to like Ray Wilkins, he was very dour and matter of fact but he was my first exposure to "colour commentary"so I will always have a soft spot for him. Besides watching genious players like Roberto Roberto Baggio, Franco Baresi and Danny Dichio made up for it.
6.) 25 Jun 2021 19:39:04
I like Clive Tyldsley and Ally McCoist. Carragher is an embarrassment.
7.) 25 Jun 2021 19:49:26
I really liked Mourinho as a pundit when he was doing it in between his stints at Man U and Spurs. Completely different to his persona as a manager. Would like to see him at it again.
Most of the Sky crew are poor, imo.
On Irish TV, Richie Sadlier's decent, although he does seem very bitter at times, not really sure why. Karen Duggan's was added to the RTE lineup for Ireland's recent friendlies and she seems good in the sense that she can actually analyse a football match, something which seems to escape her co-pundit Kevin Doyle.
Like MK Scouser I find myself pining for the good old days though. RTE's Giles, Dunphy and Brady were an unbeatable trio, aided by the late Bill O'Herlihy swinging around on his chair and posing his own opinions to the panel as ambiguous third party questions. "People are saying. " etc.
8.) 25 Jun 2021 20:01:02
Shearer seems to be the voice of reason but a bit predictable.
I prefer Murphy and Jenus as they’re less safe and give their own genuine opinion at the time. Souness and Keane give the classic hard man view, which I like.
I find G Neville makes me think although I don’t always agree. He said the other night that England play Rice and Philips in CM as we have no one else? Really? Rice has been shocking for me so far. I’d put Foden in there instead considering the other options up top.
9.) 25 Jun 2021 20:12:36
Garth Crooks, his insight is pure genius.
10.) 25 Jun 2021 20:20:18
I like Mourinho doing it.
11.) 25 Jun 2021 20:29:18
Jeans is about as insightful as Danny Mills, and he’s as thick as two short planks and as interesting as a week in Luton.
12.) 25 Jun 2021 20:43:27
Jermaine jenas is a joke the guy can’t say any word that begins with the letter A. For example he will say “penalty erea†and once you’ve heard it you can’t unhear it. Other terrible pundits and commentators include ones who say “konte†instead of kante, conte was the managers name not the midfielders. And the ones who called Thiago silva Thiago when the only thiago plays middle of the park for us.
13.) 25 Jun 2021 20:50:20
Eamonn Dynphy. the undisputed king! The Godfather of punditry.
14.) 25 Jun 2021 22:02:14
James Richardson - football Italia. Brilliant observer of football and lived an amazing life in Italy. Micheal Robinson was also very, very good. Eamonn Dunphy and Clive Tyldesley are also personal favourites of mine.
15.) 25 Jun 2021 22:16:10
What year do you think it became mandatory for pundits to say ‘a ronaldo, a messi, a neymar’.
16.) 25 Jun 2021 22:21:08
Wow. jenas? Crooks? Haha
Alan Hansen.
17.) 26 Jun 2021 00:34:31
Dalglish would be great, insightful and humorous. But subtitles would be mandatory.
18.) 25 Jun 2021 21:13:58
Jezza, Kante himself said "Kon-tay" is the correct pronunciation in French. "Kan-tay" is the Malian pronunciation si is also correct technically. Also it sounds like your main reason for hating Jenas is his dialect 😂
I honestly just really like Jenas for saying what he thinks and not what the majority want to hear. He seems to have a real interest in positional play which runs deeper than drawing lines and circles on a fancy screen to look clever. It's all opinions though mate so fair enough.
Agree fully with the guy above who said Clive. T and Ally McCoist. I had them down more as commentators so didn't mention them but as commentators go, they are easily the best duo. Ally is both knowledgeable and hilarious.
19.) 25 Jun 2021 21:20:50
Micah Richards is a breath of fresh air. Crazy bugger with not the most in-depth analysis but a good guy. Works well as a younger, counter-point to the hard men of a previous generation in Souness and Keane. His knowledge of the dressing room is great too. Maybe the first of a new generation of softer pundits. Only criticism being he may sit on the fence due to the fact he has only just retired and knows some of the players, not wanting to upset anybody.
Souness I like. He’s to the point, often correct but tends to lose focus when challenged and makes silly comments.
Neville is in depth, I’ll give him that. I liked his passion in the beginning but soon found that I disagreed with most of what he says. He goes along the right lines but is too emotional and to be frank, whingey. If other pundits put the time in like him then we would, however, have much better analysis and insight.
20.) 26 Jun 2021 16:12:23
I literally cannot thinking one good punditocracy like right now. I used to like Rio in the beginning but he has fallen off a bit. Jeans? Nope. The guy is a joke and so are majority of them. Neville? The guy lacks self awareness amongst MANY other attributes. For a guy who was atrocious as a manager, you would think he would be measured in his opinion of other managers. Alas, he is not. Sad.
10 Jun 2021 17:31:30
I'd like to see a bit more of Ox next season if he's back to full fitness / confidence.
He gives us something different with his shooting and bit of pace. I'd even consider putting him up top to give Bobby a rest for a spell.
What do you lot reckon? When he's been fit he's been great but not sure where his best position is.
{Ed025's Note - his best position pompey...is on the bench, impact sub at best these days and has never really recovered from his injury, mind you i would have him in before bobby mate....saying that i would have maupay in before him.. :)
1.) 10 Jun 2021 18:07:02
Love the lad but his best position is at another club! He’s in a massive wage and keeps the physio dept busy that’s about it!
2.) 10 Jun 2021 19:30:07
Bobby Firmino 36 games, 9 goals, 6 assists. The great Richarlison 34 games, 7 goals, 3 assists. Just saying like 😀.
3.) 10 Jun 2021 20:11:20
Just saying Bobby at his absolute worst is still more productive than the clown Richarlison? i agree Irish!
4.) 10 Jun 2021 21:20:28
I don't remember the Ox being great for us. Or being great anywhere else, for that matter.
5.) 10 Jun 2021 21:45:19
I’ll always remember Ox for the quality and desire to impact. The CL campaign he was involved in and including that game which caused that season+ injury, he was mocking the transfer from Arsenal. Their fans were spitting at the driving quality he was showing. But yeah that injury did end it for him tbh. Another but, that injury was giving 100% for LFC. So I’m against any negative comments towards Ox. He’d not chose to be injured or make a handful of appearances for us. If he can get a move that suits him and us. Only best wishes. If he stays then it’s fingers crossed it works out.
6.) 10 Jun 2021 22:02:56
Hey Irish Rover, you can’t do that. Why are you using facts against Ed25? You know that’s not allowed on here. We have seen Bobbie at his peak (27 goals in all comps in 17/ 18) and Richarlison at his best, is nowhere near him BUT again, why use facts and numbers?
{Ed0666's Note - personally I think Eds 025 fancies Bobby and putting him down is his way of showing it. He doesent want anyone picking up the scent. You solved the mystery without scooby and scrappy do.
7.) 10 Jun 2021 22:25:54
Ed666, I think he does fancy him. In the podcasts, I heard him bashing Bobbie and you and Ed01 were losing it cos it seemed Ed25 had no idea who and what Bobbie was and does. Prolly faking it.
{Ed0666's Note - don’t be surprised if bobby divorces his wife and shacks up with Eds 025 mate. Love is blind as they say.
8.) 11 Jun 2021 02:49:56
I think Ox is a brilliant person, and had a fantastic spell for us at one point before the injury, but it’s been some time before he’s impacted a game for us and I would hardly call him a great goalscorer (that long strike against Man City aside! ) . Replace Firmino? No chance.

Wonder if ed will reply to this.
{Ed025's Note - i must admit i do like bobby, and although he is a terrible footballer he comes across as a really nice guy wiltshire, unfortunately if the rumours were true it would cause devastation to the female population of merseyside mate and would be akin to the death of rudolf valentino.. :)
13.) 10 Jun 2021 22:21:33
Call me a idealist but I actually think he could have an impact this season. he is homegrown so I don't forsee him being sold, prior to the injury season before he was excellent. as Grobs tash states it allowed the midfield 3 to be more dynamic and he was on same wavelength with salah. it also allowed a slight shift in formation to almost 442 - mane left, ox right and salah up front. We played West ham away I think and it was his best game. ED25 is just an advocate of getting rid as that's his plan for Everton - out with the old etc and who could blame him!
{Ed025's Note - your right ben, my view is there should be no sentiment in football mate and if they are not up to the task ...get rid..

Ed25's negative posts about Bobby are the proverbial punch to the shoulder schoolkids give to their crush.

If we could get decent money I’d sell him and invest in building the squad. I like him but he’s to injury prone and not getting any younger.

Question for the Eds. Do you rate Chris Wood at Burnley as a potential Plan B striker?
Seems an intelligent player. Makes good runs/ movement and always gives defenders a torrid time. Scores all sorts of goals - tap ins, good in the air, good hold up play. A bit like a rough Harry Kane.
I suspect Sean Dyche would hate to sell and he'd probably cost a fortune but interested to hear your views.
Thanks ðŸ‘ðŸ».
{Ed001's Note - no, not even worth talking about. We don't even need a 'plan b' striker, we have Alisson for the late launches into the box.... Wood is just an average big man who stands out because there are so few of them in the modern game as they are so limited.}

Also because he has had a reasonable spell of late 🤔.

Agree KBL. Wolves didn’t look great. Certainly not enough to bother our 1st 11. got to say apart from Milly and Fab the other established squad players were poor - Origi, Sturridge and Shaq particularly. I’ve still got high hopes for Keita though. With a bit of confidence he’ll be fine. Think he’s got to be central though or maybe further up. Doesn’t look like the hard graft of chasing back comes naturally to him. Probably not a good idea to play him in the same team as Shaq let alone Sturridge aswell.

Regardless of his behaviour when trying to get the Barcelona move, You’d have to consider what the deal would cost and what else you could get for the same price. Also, how our performances and results improved almost overnight after he left. Great little player but we’ve moved on.

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. At this stage I’d be happy for Karius to go and prove himself elsewhere and Migs to stay as reserve. ðŸ‘ðŸ».

Thank you Ed. ✅.

Ravenelli at Middlesbrough?

Shearer seems to be the voice of reason but a bit predictable.
I prefer Murphy and Jenus as they’re less safe and give their own genuine opinion at the time. Souness and Keane give the classic hard man view, which I like.
I find G Neville makes me think although I don’t always agree. He said the other night that England play Rice and Philips in CM as we have no one else? Really? Rice has been shocking for me so far. I’d put Foden in there instead considering the other options up top.

I know he’s a nutter but during Dean Saunders radio commentary on Wales v Turkey he said ‘Wales are all over em. We could’ve scored 4 in that last attack’ 😂.

Thanks Ed.
I understand there are many nuances of business of which I'm unaware, but what would be the main effects if UEFA (for example) enforced a 250k euro per week max wage cap for leagues/ clubs under their control?
What do you see as the key benefits/ drawbacks?
{Ed002's Note - They have no authority to do anything like that and it has never been considered. Where it applies, it is based on a percentage of turnover.}
