What happened to huijsen?
all these stories of staying in PL, connection with Hughes, Dutch connection, etc went kaput in a flash on eyelid.
Fripong is going on and this very soon is taking almost week long and nothing yet.
Unless the player wanta to come, we have 0 pulling power in transfer.
1.) 16 May 2025 06:16:44
Yeah! It should be easy and fast! It took me seconds to complete a transfer when I'm playing EA FC Career Mode! But why these guys taking so long?
2.) 16 May 2025 06:38:47
And the window hasn't even opened. We should of signed at least 3 or 4 by now!
3.) 16 May 2025 06:41:02
To be fair it was always going to be difficult with the player being Spanish and wanting to join real from the beginning of they were interested in taking him. The window hasn't even opened yet, maybe save your complaining for later? Plenty of other targets to look at.
4.) 16 May 2025 06:53:52
Umm. first and foremost. as I recall. Hughes had next to nothing to do with the Huijsen-transfer to Bornemouth.
Secondly. sure he was born in the netherlands but he spent most of his life in Spain and represents Spain. I can't see any strong "dutch connections" in his case.
Lastly. I think its been pretty clear that his preference is Real Madrid since the start. Staying in the prem was only reported when Real hadnt entered the race and the only competition was from Bayern.
I reckon were better off without someone who 'll push for a move to Real in 3 years.
5.) 16 May 2025 08:38:50
It's all media. They get paid to produce, and sometimes it's like a group of dogs where one starts barking for nothing and they all kick off.
6.) 16 May 2025 08:57:28
Lets not enjoy being league champions, let's fret about all the players we haven't signed yet and claim a club that's just won the league under a new manager, who replaced a legend, is run by a bunch of charlatans who don't know as much as online posters.
7.) 16 May 2025 09:04:11
Zero pulling power? You’re embarrassing yourself there Sami.
Put your toys back in your pram and wait and see what happens there’s a long way to go.
8.) 16 May 2025 09:14:20
Real Madrid happened.
9.) 16 May 2025 09:26:28
Huijsen always wanted Madrid and that was no secret. We only became an option for him when it was unclear whether or not Madrid were willing to actually pay for a player. As soon as they decided they would pay the release clause then that was that. This is not a surprise or any kind of failing on our behalf, it is purely the expected outcome from the start.
10.) 16 May 2025 07:09:41
Ed001 what your thoughts on Huijsen as a player I have only watched him a few times and I think he looks outstanding on the ball but one thing that would have worried me was his recovery pace with how far forward we defended. I watched Bournemouth last weekend and Villa had a break on them and he looked like he was running in sand.
{Ed001's Note - excellent young defender, but he does still have a fair bit to learn. He is not lightning quick, but he is no slouch either.}
11.) 16 May 2025 11:58:29
Zero pulling power ?.
12.) 16 May 2025 12:26:05
One season Huijsen been in prem and he is being touted as a 50 million pound player . Not for me he isn't he would need three or four full seasons in prem before he is at that level.
06 Mar 2025 04:52:48
Team -
Any news (truth) on Dom Szoboszlai car accident?
Hope all is good.
1.) 06 Mar 2025 06:42:17
When? He played last night.
2.) 06 Mar 2025 09:53:17
I really don’t know but if you Google it there are YouTube reports on it but they are 3,4 and 5 days old.
3.) 06 Mar 2025 10:21:37
Lol what?
4.) 06 Mar 2025 10:28:53
Sami, suggest you go back to your original source, that should give you a little more detail and you can share that information too.
5.) 06 Mar 2025 11:44:09
Are you referring to the fake video on youTube from a week ago? If so, I wouldn't worry about it. As Marty points out, he played last night.
6.) 06 Mar 2025 16:30:26
Sami, have you been clicking on those dodgey web links again?!
I'm sure we have all fallen foul to fake link relating to transfers or injuries along the way.
7.) 06 Mar 2025 17:03:18
???? It says he was seriously injured after the Newcastle game and that Slot visited him in Hospital.
8.) 06 Mar 2025 18:29:52
A miraculous recovery worthy of Lazarus.
9.) 06 Mar 2025 19:47:26
No wonder he forgot the ball like 10 times yesterday, poor guy.
10.) 07 Mar 2025 05:51:03
Not having a go but I find it really strange that people don’t seem to consider looking at Liverpool FC’s official website - in this case to see if a first team starter was injured in a car crash - when they read / hear stuff on general social media. It’s odd that people automatically give credence (or seek credence from others on social media) to unsubstantiated gibberish when all they have to do is click on the link to the source of truth about Liverpool FC.
11.) 07 Mar 2025 15:56:04
WDW3, I'm with you 100%.
02 Jan 2025 11:48:55
Any truth in PSG offer to Salah?
1.) 02 Jan 2025 13:17:50
PSG had links with Salah a couple of weeks ago and they came out saying they weren't interested and it's just media talk so I assume that's still the case. Who knows though, now he's free to speak to other clubs I'm sure quite a few clubs will be having a good think about snapping these players up.
2.) 02 Jan 2025 14:02:32
I try to think about it from Salah's perspective and staying at Liverpool seems to be his best option in Europe. Moving at his age is a risk as time is too precious for an adjustment period to get in sync with his new team. Liverpool is the best place for him to challenge for the Ballon D'Or and biggest trophies.
The only thing PSG can offer him is a bigger salary and the opportunity to stat pad his Champions League goals at the same time. Ligue 1 is meaningless, PSG won't win the Champions League and Saudi will offer more money tax-free so what's the point?
Real Madrid might sound alluring at first but he would have to compete with both Vinicius and Mbappe to be the main man there so that would all end in tears in practice.
Barca are skint. Bayern have their own salary structure and already have Olise who they have just invested a lot of money in. Serie A is in a poor state. He won't go to another Premier League team as that would destroy his legacy with us and we're the best in the league anyway.
You think about it like that and surely he stays with us unless he takes the Saudi money which will still be waiting for him in a couple of years anyway.
3.) 02 Jan 2025 22:58:18
He has so much to offer still in the best league in the world easily has 3 more years of scoring assisting hopefully for us.
4.) 03 Jan 2025 00:34:35
Apparently they’ve offered him £500k a week. That’s what we’re up against.
5.) 03 Jan 2025 03:46:01
Yeah and I'm the real Salah, Viktor. All nonsense mate, pay no attention.
6.) 03 Jan 2025 05:04:34
Like Salah would ever go to a silly club like PSG.
As Babbity has said, Salah's only other serious option in Europe is Real Madrid. He wants to stay with us but be paid on par with the world's best players.
23 Oct 2017 21:41:41
Hi Ed's
Dont we have any defenders in under 23 or 21 who can play for the main 11?
Atleast to fill the 11?
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - you have to pick players who can fit right in.}
1.) 23 Oct 2017 23:11:27
Lloyd Jones would be the only one with half a chance but would be a big gamble that.
2.) 24 Oct 2017 02:32:39
Is masterson the best cb in u23?
3.) 24 Oct 2017 23:02:59
Would love to see Masterson given a shot, unless that means fans jumping on his back after a mistake and ruining his confidenece!
31 Aug 2017 18:38:09
Any chance of Lucas Vasqez if Lemar is not done and we sell Coutinho?
Very good player to have but not be like for like replacement.
Good job Ed's.
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - Of course - I have explained that over and over but all we get is dribbling from the Liverpool fans so I don't bother anymore.}
1.) 31 Aug 2017 18:43:32
Who is Lucas Vazquez going to replace in the team? Mane or Salah?
2.) 31 Aug 2017 18:49:01
Highly unlikely Sami we are suddenly going to chasing a differant player in the last few hours mate. It was all about 2 players, neither happening.
3.) 31 Aug 2017 19:03:20
He will get more game time here than RM.
How abt spending Coutinho money for Kovacic and Lucas V from RM?
We would get more and competition.
No defenders because we only play attack.
4.) 31 Aug 2017 18:57:26
Ed02 start a Venmo account, so we can send you money for a few pints because it seems like you are going to need it. Plus when you drunk you repeat yourself anyway.
{Ed002's Note - I don't need the money thanks.}
5.) 31 Aug 2017 19:41:36
Lucas Vazquez really isn't that good. Not better than Mane or Salah and hardly a number 10.
6.) 31 Aug 2017 20:37:42
Whose better than mane right now? That would be very difficult.
7.) 31 Aug 2017 20:56:13
Is there a possibility we might come back for VVD in January if nothing materializes in this window Ed001?
Cheers.
{Ed001's Note - yes.}

If Wirtz gets 340 per week, What will Konate and Diaz expect?
Both of them are due a raise and fully justified.
esp Diaz who is on 55 per week.
We should either pay up or let them leave for a decent offer.
What do you guys feel?
1.) 08 Jun 2025 06:27:34
People seem to pity Diaz because he earns more money in a week than most people earn in a year. He willingly signed that deal, I’d happily keep him for the next 2 years and let him go on a free, he’ll be 30 then anyway.
2.) 08 Jun 2025 07:23:02
I feel strongly that we shouldn’t discuss finance as it’s not something we understand let alone excel at.
3.) 08 Jun 2025 08:14:42
Sami I think some fans were concerned with wages during the Salah and Vvd contract negotiations as well mate but there’s been no news of players being unsettled over them.
I’d even go as far back as concerns were raised the previous Mo renewal as well and again the harmony has always seemed good.
Diaz has been looking for a new contract for some time now well before Wirtz.
The club seem to really know what it’s doing financially.
4.) 08 Jun 2025 08:28:06
Bild are just guessing. However a £100+ million player and with it one of the top talents in Europe will be on a fair bit more than a relatively unknown and un proven Diaz and Konate were a few years ago when they signed their contracts. I'm pretty sure Konate will be sorted pretty soon as for Diaz there is too much noise and I see him moving on.
5.) 08 Jun 2025 08:37:04
I’m not going to be calling for anyone earning nearly £3 million a year to get a pay rise.
6.) 08 Jun 2025 09:13:26
Who says Wirtz is getting 340k per week (£ or Euros the way? )
I’ve seen anything from 200k to 34000 (Zed, was that you? :)
7.) 08 Jun 2025 09:26:31
Diaz was happy to sign a 4 yr contract at 55k a week a few years ago. Why would he complain about it now?
8.) 08 Jun 2025 09:32:35
I very much doubt wirtz would go into that pay bracket of 340k per week, only salah in that bracket for us I believe. I would guess he on around 200k per week.
9.) 08 Jun 2025 10:02:49
@WDW was the excel/ finance pun intended? If so, nice work!
10.) 08 Jun 2025 10:29:14
Indeed it was.
11.) 08 Jun 2025 10:40:51
Let another player run down his contract TB ?. Not for me and I hope the club don’t think that way either. Sign an improved contract or sell him . No more freebie’s.
12.) 08 Jun 2025 11:06:58
Irish Rover it is better to keep a performing player on a sensible wage who has said himself that he is happy to stay than take a risk on let's say Rodrygo who would cost more than we get for Diaz and would want at least double what he currently earns and very well might not settle. If Diaz stays and has another top season I can't imagine that he won't be offered new terms.
13.) 08 Jun 2025 11:18:17
Didn’t Edwards give out huge contracts last time round?
14.) 08 Jun 2025 11:20:03
He deserves a new deal and hope he gets it we are weaker when he isn’t playing.
15.) 08 Jun 2025 11:43:46
He is contracted for 2 more seasons so he will play.
16.) 08 Jun 2025 12:05:19
About right, Ron.
17.) 08 Jun 2025 12:12:28
ScouseJohn apparently the narrative is that Edwards left as Klopp was too powerful and giving out the contracts.
30 May 2025 17:11:48
Frimpong -
"I play for Liverpool, what more can I say? "
I feel it was class intro.
Welcome to LFC!
1.) 30 May 2025 17:24:34
Welcome to Liverpool mate!
2.) 30 May 2025 17:39:34
“I won’t let you down, I’m going to bring you the energy you guys want”
Absolutely excellent. Confident young man with bags of talent. The new era has begun and I can’t wait to see this kid rip up the premier league in Red.
3.) 30 May 2025 18:13:24
Really looking forward to seeing this lad in a Lfc jersey.
Lots said he wasn’t good enough defensively during the early links so hoping he hits the ground running which in fairness is actually one of his strengths.
4.) 30 May 2025 18:13:38
Absolute class. Welcome Frimpong.
5.) 30 May 2025 19:12:30
We've not had a right back that can defend for years so nothing to worry about!
6.) 30 May 2025 19:31:50
He comes across as a really positive and happy fella, which is always a good thing!
I think that's a great double act at right back now, options against different set ups with Bradley liking an underlap and frimpong ghosting down the wing.
11 Jun 2025 15:06:02
It will be sensible to let him leave on good terms for a decent fee like Kelleher.
I don't understand some of the views here.
While we can bargain with Bayern L for weeks on Wirtz, we want Barcelona to pay (whatever it comes to our mind - own valuation) or keep him against his wish for another year or two as he is on low wages.
Best option is -
1) To keep him and give him a decent increase so that it does not cause any disruption
2) Sell him to Barcelona at a reasonable price.
3) Keep him against his wish, you end up with bad apple
I don't think Barcelona will pay/ match Saudi offers and if the player does not want to move, you can't do much.
Same with Nunez - if he doesn't want to go to Saudi, he will not go. we will end up with loan to buy offers for him as everyone knows that we can't get much for him either.
Other clubs and teams are smart and they will test FSG's patience. any deal for both of them will run late in the window.
any prospectvie club will play this game for sure.
11 Jun 2025 14:54:59
Victor Osimhen is linked to 24 clubs in 24 hours.
Better he gets settled and signed early in the transfer window so it allows other clubs to prioritize their options.
10 Jun 2025 10:23:02
There has been more news and articles on Writz joining Liverpool than Liverpool winning 20th. Strange.
07 Jun 2025 15:46:33
Do you believe the price is justified?
Compared to spending 100 on Cacedo, this is lot better but is Writz so high profile?
I am happy just becausd he said no to Bayern and wanted to play here. Credit to Slot in convincing but it was easy when compared witb Kompany.
Why Real and Alonso did not enter the race? Is it they are stoked in that pksition? or Wirtz was clear he wantec only us?
{Ed001's Note - well worth the money.
Madrid have a surfeit of options there.}
05 Jun 2025 04:47:38
Vango -
So if we sign Wirtz and few others, does it mean Hughes, Edwards get a clean sheet for last year shortcomings?
Still can't understand Marma signing honestly. Leave alone Chiesa.
10M for TAA all forgotten when his actual value is
When team does good, we appreciate and when they perform bad, we criticize them.
Same logic applies to the transfer team. They are not above criticism just because they manage to get Wirtz deal done.
You don't have to repeatedly downgrade the supporters for calling out Hughes and trasnfer team as keyboard warriors.
We are all in the same boat.
Cheers.
16 Jun 2025 14:24:17
Rush and Fowler - you can put them in a bracket.
But how can someone put a Torres there with them?
Though he was decent, I don't think we can compare Torres to them.
16 Jun 2025 05:16:32
Should be Alvarez.
Isak and Salah is too much for the team to carry.
Not seen much of Alvarez but still would go with him.
14 Jun 2025 16:15:58
mango 50m for robbo not happening in any world. maybe 5m is more likely.
13 Jun 2025 16:22:40
Wirtz is a top signing, appreciate FSG.
Similiarly Caciedo was never 100m player and that bid still stinks.
When they do good, they deserve applause and when they do bad, they deserve criticism just like the team.
08 Jun 2025 16:18:28
They are taking us to cleaners.
We should just pay up the asking price and close this drama now.
I know you might not like if we as fans say it but if the same came from Ed02, most of us would keep calm.
Imagine the time and resources being wasted and finally agreeing to the asking rate.
