Hello Eds
Seen reports Liverpool have contacted Fulham regarding the availability of Antonee Robinson. I know we are now a bit short at left back due to injuries, but to have 3 recognised players in that position would seem over kill. Or can Robinson fill in in other positions as well.
Cheers Eds Thanks for all your efforts and best wishes for the New Year. Even Ed025.

{Ed002's Note - Antonee Robinson (LB) Fulham may be open to selling but only have loanee Ballo-Touré as cover and no clear targers. The fended off the interest on Marseille and Newcastle in the summer by pricing him at €45M. I am not aware of an approach from Liverpool but a deal perhaps involving Carvalho and cash may work. The issue for the player will be the long-term - will he be a replacement for Tsimikas and back up to Robertson? If so, game time becomes problematic.}

Should go in ahead of both Robertson and Tsimikas, he would be our long term successor to Robertson who I would sell to recoup some money, only my opinion though. He was fantastic when he played against us.

My thoughts also Ed. Unless Liverpool look to move Tsimikas on game time will be very limited. It sounds from your response that the rumour is not based on any real substance.

We can alway sell Tsimikas of course and robo can’t play forever.

He’s three years younger than Robbo, and not half as good.

In another post Ed mentioned Daley blind. It was a bit tounge in cheek but maybe an insight into the kind of player we could do with, he's 33 plays lb, cb and DM. 3 positions we need cover be it due to injuries or youngsters still developing. He has played with the Dutch contingent played in the prem, and his versatility means he can get game time. A 2 year deal could provide us with another milner type player. That should allow bajetic to grow into the role in mid and then we should be looking at vvd replacement in 2 years.
If we're getting a younger DM Martín Zubimendi Ibáñez for me. Lol
And a, quick question Ed if I may, I've asked the question to few mates and some support other clubs, but why has Wilfred ndidi not been taken by anyone, he had great stats for a couple of seasons in prem and money spent on the likes of lavia seems datt in comparison?

{Ed002's Note - There have been interested sides but he and the club have been happy with their lot.}

My nephew (another rabid red) bumped into Ndidi in a shop in Leicester the other day, said he was very friendly and polite.
He didn't think to ask him about playing for Liverpool though which might have gotten an interesting response.

At 26 in a position and a game style of pace requirement I suspect a “long term” replacement he’d not be!

We were trying to get red of Tsimikas and Robertson can't go on forever! So he will be the long term replacement for Robertson i suppose. Which would be great as he is a very good LB.

Robinson is a great athlete but not convinced he’s a long term successor to Robbo. The lad Kerkez at Bournemouth and Ait-Nouri are the ones to watch.

Cheers Ed. And I see carvalho has been recalled today from loan. Looks like your right and a deal with Fulham is getting lined up. His position were well covered, question is him and cash for their LB or DM? I'm referring to a previous answer u gave to their lb.

Seems very short term. He’s been one of the best left backs in the league this season but i think he just plays that Tsimikas role of playing when Robbonis out. We should be bringing in a younger player to overtake Robertson. Davies at Bayern the dream but would be very hard. Any of the Eds know who are seen as the best young left backs around? Barco at Boca Juniors I’ve heard is great but never seen. Ait-Nouiri at Wolves looks good.

{Ed002's Note - There is serious interest in Alphonso Davies from a couple of clubs but Bayern are working on a new contract. Aït-Nouri has attracted interest from a couple of sides but his agent has a clear future mapped out in his mind already. Barco is already part of discussions for a move, potentially even in January. David Raum, Pervis Estupinan, Luca Netz and Alejandro Balde are all very well respected Left Backs.}

Two good shouts Pelican, like the look of Kerkez meself and Ait Nouiri always impresses against us.
