Hello Ed001 - You replied to a poster earlier that we are looking at Full-backs, CMs and Wingers and clearly Salah and Will Hughes are on the radar. Will Hughes feels like a 'one for the future' as does the already acquired Luis Alberto. Then of course we have the likes of Robinson on loan and Kelly on the bench (who when I first saw him I though 'potential future captain). I'm rambling. so my question; are these players we are looking for again 'ones for the future' or are they guys to help us to achieve top4 this season?
Also heard that there is a bit of an issue with Kelly attitude wise - any truth in this, or is his lack of game time just due to him being worked slowly back in after injury?
Once again, great site, thanks for your patience and your insight and happy new year.
{Ed001's Note - we are looking for both players for the future and ones to step in now and improve the team. The hope is to buy players who can improve the team and be for the future too, such as Salah.
As far as I am aware, there has been no issues with Kelly attitude wise, though he does want to play first team football. I keep getting told we are just being careful to ensure he doesn't suffer long term issues, as he is young and had a number of niggles.}

Just an observation about Southampton and Liverpool 'pinching' their best players; I recall reading this a couple of years back. Draw a 50 mile radius from Southampton and you get a lot of sea to the south but you capture 4 million people. Do the same in Liverpool and you capture 8 million people. The academies that Southampton compete with include Bournemouth and Portsmouth and at a real stretch Reading and Brighton. Liverpool compete with Everton, Tranmere, all Greater Manchester clubs, Preston, Blackpool, Crewe, Stoke, etc, etc. This is picking kids for academies not scouting, but I think it is a fair point to make about competition for local talent.
{Ed002's Note - You mean like Lovren, van Dijk and mane?}

Thanks BeckersGloves. Can I just make an observation to the Eds. I have been a reader of this site for years, and seen it change from a rumour site (e. g. "my mum's best mate's gardener is also Rafa's gardener and he heard. ") to more of a gossip and opinion site, and that's all fine. I occasionally posted a rumour as I knew someone who worked at Melwood, but no longer. I dip in, more on a weekly basis nowadays, but still enjoy the gossip and the narkiness and snipes of the eds.
My observation is this: I understand the frustration and snipes to posters in relation to oft asked questions on the same subject over and over again but I find the 'RTP! ' answer a little frustrating also as using the search function is a little like splitting open a thousand oysters to find a single pearl. Is there a way of creating a 'Common Rumour Status' page that the RTP reply links to, with headings such as "Mo Salah and Klopp disagreement and possible sale. Current status"? Or some other way of helping us and maybe making your lives easier and more chilled? Just a suggestion, but if you want to have a go, I'm a big lad, I can take it!

Happens in club football too. Tommy Smith hated Emlyn Hughes, but he was professional enough to put it aside on the pitch.
