Eds, do you think Danny Murphy is clutching at straws with him saying VVD is close? I'd love him to sign for us but accepted it was not happening. Why would Murphy keep my hopes alive? I'm sure your sick to death of VVD but it's your knowledge that I believe.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what Danny Murphy has said but right now Southampton are in Austria trying to patch up the damage done to their captain by Liverpool. To the best of my knowledge Southampton are aware of another side want further talks. I am not aware of any offer from Liverpool at this time that presumably would have needed to have been accepted for it to be "close". Perhaps there has been and Liverpool are using Danny Murphy to break the news to the world?}

Othet side being Arsenal or Chelsea ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal. Although both Chelsea and Manchester City are still looking for a CB.}

12 Jul 2017 17:10:44
Maybe your right Ed002. Ha ha. Thanks for your thoughts.

I don't believe he said that vvd is close at all just his opinion that he will sign.

Agree4 Disagree2

12 Jul 2017 18:00:30
Yeah I agree with 834, I read the article myself and he never said that we were close, he said he think we should attempt to still sign him, that being said, it's a silly statement to say especially with the crap we've already done.
I'd love VVD in the red jersey but to save us from even more embarrassment (if that's even possible) I'd stay well clear and I know Danny is entitled to his own opinion but I can't see what he's saying as helping our cause.

Agree4 Disagree4

Oooh, So'ton are in Austria? The country of RB Salzburg? With the sister club in Leipzig? I see where you are going with this. #IlluminatiConfirmed.

Agree13 Disagree1

12 Jul 2017 20:34:17
I don't believe Murphy said it was close just that he wanted Liverpool to sign him and thinks a deal could still be done. For what its worth Liverpool and Southampton now at least have some dialogue and Edwards is not getting completely blocked out of conversations.

I've heard talk of an Italian side expressing interest, however there isn't the money there that would be from a prem club.

Transfers transfers transfers. It seems we forget that against the top 6 it is us that had the best record. And that's against teams with so called world beaters in 11 positions. And our defense was amazing against them hence why we had the best record, me personally I have faith in our team as it's against the so called lesser teams where we came undone. So it's not a question of quality or additions. It's a completely different question entirely.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 06:00:27
And we have won what exactly since raffa left? Everyone else is getting stronger as we wait on 2 players with no plan be if it goes pearshaped like usual.

Agree0 Disagree3

13 Jul 2017 06:19:02
We had an excellent record against the top 6 sides but over the season we had the 4th best record and that was only secured in the last 90 mins of football. To be the best we have to continue to develop and improve. If we stay as we are we will stagnate.

Agree2 Disagree2

13 Jul 2017 09:06:38
I think the van Dijk thing is close. That would be a phenomenal signing.

Danny Murphy on Liverpool target Virgil van Dijk


He said: "It would be very wrong to talk about this. ”

However, Murphy is confident the defender will.

I think we definitely need a natural left back, even though mili was amazing. The only issue with mili was that he cut back onto his right foot a lot to get a cross in.
We all seen and know what damage mane did and now we have mo sal on opposite side to open up those teams that need 8 defenders against us.
An upgrade on klaxon and someone to challenge lov would be ideal. Up until January we were all dreaming again then it crumbled. Klop knows who he wants to make us better. And it's not stagnant where you see stagnant I see growth. In my opinion we are getting consistency, two finals the season before and now a top 4 finish. And it doesn't matter how we got there the fact is we got there.

Agree1 Disagree0

Latest random name I've seen is us being linked with de vrij and now Wallace of lazio. Do the eds expect any news breaking on lfc anytime soon, bit dull so far this window.
On a side note the blow people's mind transfer being worked on worries me after the Rodgers announcing that fans will love a player he's going to sign who can beat a man etc etc it was borini!?!

Believable2 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - Lazio are still trying to get agreement with De Vrij over a new contract but they have increased their offer. Mendes has tried to get clubs interested in Wallace and has been pushing Real Madrid. Lazio is seen as a stepping stone after the mess with his ownership and the shell move to Braga.}

12 Jul 2017 11:49:09
Blow people's minds transfer? Have I missed something? Who said That?

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Jul 2017 12:30:00
Just be patient. You lot get more excited and nervous over the transfer window than you do actual matches. If we sign someone great, if we don't that's fine as well.

Agree5 Disagree11

12 Jul 2017 12:30:26
no one. But if Mbappe is meeting with arsene wenger for 3 hours I can't help but think Klopp needs to get in there. If there is even the remotest chance that he will go to England we should make ourselves his first choice as we are the only club in champions league that can guarantee him first choice CF spot.

Agree7 Disagree6

12 Jul 2017 12:50:30
He wouldn't have a guarantee first choice CF spot That's Firmino, and we have no idea how the lad will perform in his season he is better of staying at Monaco to get as much game time as he can.

Agree14 Disagree3

12 Jul 2017 13:25:38
Firminho is not a natural cf and regardless. you would pick him over mbappe!? that is absolute crazy talk. I do however agree that he should stay at Monaco but we should do all to sign him when he is available.

Agree4 Disagree4

12 Jul 2017 13:42:50
Yes I would pick him over Mbappe for Liverpool and how Klopp plays Firmino is the best choice for the CF role since his game brings so much more to the table and complements Mane and co so much better Mbappe is an unknown entity at the moment yes he scored some cracking goals in the champions league but you can't gauge him off one season don't get me wrong he is seriously talented and I would expect him to become a world beater but right now the money been touted for him is what 100mil +? no thank you Firmino is the better option for Liverpool.

Agree13 Disagree4

Too right there Yankee Red.

Transfer windows now assumed same importance as matches themselves. for the fans that is.

Some HBP meds be needed for some on here.

Everyone jus need to take a chill pill and let clube get on with its business.
To get so wrapped emotionally invested in this. Crazy. It's only a transfer window. not some UCL final or BPL title decider.

You get the feeling that folks' actual health be shot were Klopp not to sign another player this window.

Just relax will ya! Gon cause yourselves stroke.

Agree2 Disagree2

12 Jul 2017 13:49:04
Who's Wallace?

What about his mate Grommet?

Agree14 Disagree3

12 Jul 2017 15:33:56
True. Like I said yesterday, we need to get our skates on or we are going to miss out on our top targets. Kieta could join man city if we're not quick. Arsenal are talking to mbappe? I thought finishing above them was supposed to put us in prime position? SPEND THE MONEY. OR WE WILL END UP WITH SCRAPS.

Agree5 Disagree12

12 Jul 2017 15:49:18
Sure I'll get a load of thumbs down for comment above. ....................

Agree2 Disagree10

{Ed002's Note - This is just nonsense - you have to stop with it.}

12 Jul 2017 15:59:05
Yeah Yankee it's alright if all our rivals sign multiple world class players and we just sign Salah, for a team that struggled defensively all year. Why are so many happy to accept second best? We are in the CL (most likely) now and have a real opportunity to push on with quality in the right areas.

Agree0 Disagree3

12 Jul 2017 16:08:16
Totally baffled why people are going hysterical when we aren't even half way through the window. We'll be fine guys. I'm not usually super optimistic but I have a gut feeling we will sign Keita very soon and VVD towards the end of the window. But if not, I still trust Klopp to do somehthing positive.

Agree3 Disagree0

12 Jul 2017 16:13:13
Sorry ed but I'm getting worried. Remember klopp saying he wanted new signings completed early to give them a chance to settle. Sorry for getting carried away. We have a team that is already good enough to challenge for the title. If no one else joined I would still think we had a decent window as I think salah is going to light up the premiership.

Agree0 Disagree5

{Ed002's Note - And now Klopp has switched his position as he can't get the players hge wants and says the fans have to wait.}

12 Jul 2017 16:20:09
Sorry everyone. Got carried away. Y. N. W. A.

Agree1 Disagree7

12 Jul 2017 16:22:47
I tell you what, some of you lads must have the craziest lives. You all seem to read something on Twitter or on some of the dirt sheets and take it as gospel. If you want to come on the site and find out some of the rumours, then it is a perfect forum. However, if you want to come on here and slag off the club without a real understanding of what is going on, please don't bother. Transfers can come to fruition or collapse very quickly.

Agree6 Disagree1

12 Jul 2017 16:42:04
Would never slag off the club. I love LFC. Again I apologise for getting carried away.

Think klopp is best manager we have had in a long time.

Agree7 Disagree3

12 Jul 2017 18:15:50
Who really cares. Signings will happen when they happen. I'd like to focus on the players we have and have already signed. We have a great squad who can all improve. We have returning players. What's all the fuss. If Klopp wants to change what he says and does then good for him. He is the manager right. Everyone always speculates about what's going on but no one knows really. Looking forward to tonight.

Agree3 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 06:24:21
Everyone needs to take a chill pill. For the guys getting extremely excited or flapping then who cares. Their not causing anyone any harm. They're just enjoying the ride. There's far too many killjoys on here that love jumping on people's comments. Not sure how some people come to the assumption that their a better fan than the next person or they know more. We're all in it for the same thing. And after all aren't we meant to be the self proclaimed best fans in the world. Sometimes it's like loose women on here with all the bickering. Anyway I'll stop moaning and bickering now 😂.

Agree1 Disagree1

13 Jul 2017 09:40:37
Superred91 stop apologizing bud you don't need to you where only have a debate with me about the pros and cons of Mbappe and firmino, nothing nasty was said! this is what this sight is about rumors and civil debates other players Liverpool and potentially interested in I think others have just jumped on the thread and picked out bits you moaning about not signing anyone Don't worry about it to much.

Anyway the windows just opened I'd be very happy if we just signed a LB and a CB now to help the defensive side of things we don't need anymore midfielders or strikers.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 13:12:25
Yes josh1568 I would pick firmino over mbappe anytime. firmino offers more in terms of his counter pressing abilities and his ability to play in certain midfield positions.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - but mbappe knows where the net is mate, bobby couldn,t hit a bulls arse with a banjo..
