Didn't he sign a pre-agreement with Dortmund?

Relatively sure he was making a joke.

Have a question for ed002. I was very impressed by Koulibaly of Napoli especially his speed and recovery, also very good in the air and I think, as VVD for now is dead we should atleast try. Has there been any aproach for the player apart from chelsea? napoli are hard to negotiate but would like him at our club. thanks in advance.

Believable2 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea had an offer rejected last year and have not lost sight of the player.}

21 Jun 2017 18:47:29
This guy is a real beast.

Agree3 Disagree1

21 Jun 2017 19:46:37
To be fair Ed002, it'd be hard to lose sight of him at 6'7" I reckon I can see him from here if I squint a bit.

Agree9 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 20:47:05
If you squint a lot, Klaven looks great.

Agree8 Disagree2

22 Jun 2017 11:40:22
Thought rudiger looked very comfortable on the ball the other day when I watched him and seemed to have decent pace. Whilst I like VVD I have a feeling the FA are likely to look very closely at the deal if we try for that to happen. Shame, but we know klopp wants a CB and will pay big so we need alternatives.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jun 2017 12:18:42
Youd have to squint so hard that your eyes would nearly be in again.

Hi Ed's

Have we shown any interest in De Vrij?!

Thanks!

Believable3 Unbelievable1

{Ed001's Note - yes, but he is very injury prone which has made clubs cautious.}

21 Jun 2017 16:15:40
He's also very slow, which I can't see suiting our style at all. Turns like a battleship, which might work if we're also signing Navy Keita.

Agree16 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 17:13:06
"He's also very slow"

Says Kvarme 😂.

Haha, yeah that's fair.

Eds,

What precisely is going on with the FA inquiry? I know it was said that last Monday an announcement would be made. Have they dropped the case?

Thanks.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

{Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware, they haven't yet decided whether to pursue a case against us or not. Monday was expected to be the decision, but this is the FA and they don't necessarily move quickly.}

21 Jun 2017 18:35:24
Thanks for the response. It's a shame the FA is so slow, especially given that it's the offseason.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 19:51:51
Maybe that's why. Holidays for people.

It now looks like Liverpool will move their attentions towards Cresswell of West Ham.

Believable13 Unbelievable18

21 Jun 2017 12:08:01
Heard similar, but I really don't rate Cresswell. He's really slow, defensively he's weak and he's also 28. So no real potential to improve. Would much rather us just pay big money on Mendy or Tierney.

Agree14 Disagree6

21 Jun 2017 12:09:27
I don't mind that. better than Robertson defensively and can take set pieces too.

Agree5 Disagree16

21 Jun 2017 12:31:37
Better option than Robertson in my opinion. He's a Liverpool lad and has stood out for me as one of the better players in a poor West Ham team.

Decent on the ball and not prone to may mistakes, quite solid defensively. Not going to set the world alight with his performances, but an upgrade on what we have for sure.

If he could just convince Pedro Obiang to come along with him that would be LB and CM sorted for me.

Agree2 Disagree12

21 Jun 2017 12:34:50
Personal don't rate him as an improvement from what i've seen of him at west ham, Mendy would be ideal to sort a problem position. Outside of this I would go for bertrand.

Agree19 Disagree1

21 Jun 2017 12:40:02
Juts go and buy one class player. This position has been crap from ages!

Agree24 Disagree1

21 Jun 2017 12:41:46
For what its worth I don't think he's great but since Mendy was taking the piss with his wage demands it is the more sensible option. He would add a balance to the team being left footed and his set pieces are better than what we have.

Agree6 Disagree5

21 Jun 2017 13:24:48
As much as i like young players with potential we have to get a squad ready for CL next season (or EL but let's hope we win the game) .

I haven't really seen anything from Cresswell as i normally just watch the liverpool game on the weekends so i can't say how good he is but 27 is a good age. Id rather have a solid LB with a little bit of experience then a youngster who makes mistakes.

Also i think if moreno works on his defensive behaviour he could be a really solid LB.

Agree9 Disagree3

21 Jun 2017 14:05:35
Did everyone think Mendy was this top class player this time last year. Or had they never heard of him like me. There seems to be a lot of fuss being made about him and I bet most people have probably just seen him play a handful of CL games.

Agree17 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 16:08:01
A bit cynical. Monaco were on BT a hell of a lot last season, so there were plenty of opportunities for people to see him play. He also featured in a lot of team of the seasons. And if you put any faith in the opinion of pundits and some journos, who were banging on about him all the time, you'll know he's top quality.

Ryan Bertrand actually seemed like a no-brainier before the VVD fiasco. Would have been ideal, in my opinion.

Agree7 Disagree2

21 Jun 2017 19:52:58
Didn't realise LFC fans were die hard Monaco fans as well. I know I've never thought ' I'll stay in tonight and watch French club football'

Agree7 Disagree2

21 Jun 2017 21:28:24
Mendy is way too expensive in my opinion. Yes he is a really good player but he would cost a furtune and his wage demands are crazy for a LB.

As much as i like to see the best players in the world playing for us we still have to think about the financials. We can't afford to pay a LB 180k a week when our best players probally earn less. I don't think a LB has evern been the highest paid player in any team ever.

We should take a look at Gaya from Valencia. 22 years old, Played almost every game last year and has huge potential. He won't be cheap as well but cheaper then Mendy for sure.

Agree3 Disagree2

21 Jun 2017 23:18:55
Who knows what represents a good deal at the moment. Fees are outrageous and Mendy seems like a good option, even with Monaco's valuation. If Liverpool thinks it can afford him, who are we to argue?

And this whole ridiculing fans for paying attention of what happens in leagues outside the Prem just seems ignorant to me.

Agree3 Disagree1

22 Jun 2017 01:11:39
If Moreno works on his defensive abilities? So his marking, tackling, positioning, if they were all to improve then sure he might be a decent left back, but these are all things that should come naturally and then be improved upon, you should not have to teach a left back in his mid 20's the basics.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Jun 2017 07:53:11
Pedro Obiang. give me a break, may aswell bring in mark noble aswell then.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - if you had watched the Hammers play, you would know there is a huge difference between the two. Obiang had to carry Noble most of the season.}

22 Jun 2017 12:26:12
Moreno has all the ability, but lacks the decision making ability, he ends up diving in making stupid tackles, where really all he had to do was stand off the player and make the player pass backwards giving his teamates time to cover back.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 05:24:19
Good morning all, just been told to prepare for a long running saga in the transfer with navy kieta.

Believable0 Unbelievable25

21 Jun 2017 06:13:58
Translation:
Naby Keita

Would love to have him at LFC but RBL seem like they'll be extremely difficult to deal with. Also, someone would have to leave for Keita to come in I think, especially if Coutinho drops to the midfield.

Agree9 Disagree4

21 Jun 2017 07:13:52
oh and with them being allowed to play in the champions league, there's less reason for him to leave.

Agree6 Disagree2

21 Jun 2017 07:58:59
Oh no, now I'm feeling blue 😉.

Agree6 Disagree2

21 Jun 2017 09:19:27
I'd love to know how somebody knows that it's going to be a long transfer saga? What he/ she probably means is, get ready for continual questions and rumour about Naby Keita, with the eventual outcome being the player stays put and the realisation it was never on in the first place.

Agree11 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 09:27:51
Thats the worst way to feel. Akin ti HOPELESS.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 09:32:14
It was a long shot before RBL were given the champions league to think about, id say the "saga" is over already unfortunately.

Agree5 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 11:14:35
You never know. all this talk of Red Bull may make him want to Fly the nest 😉👍🏼.

Agree0 Disagree2

21 Jun 2017 11:22:56
Keita won't join Lpool the paper generated names have been way off so far and to be fair since the VVD debacle the info coming out of the club has been shut off so unless the above wishes to say something more relevant take no notice.

Agree4 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 11:32:22
That being said, I would love to have him at Liverpool. We can always bid RBL £50-60M to see if their arm can be twisted. Well worth the money.

Agree3 Disagree1

21 Jun 2017 13:11:39
Presumably Navy Kieta is a midfield destroyer?

Agree3 Disagree1

21 Jun 2017 13:28:56
Keita will go nowhere. He has to force a move to get out of Leipzig.

It was Leipzigs first Season in the Bundesliga and the finished strong on 2nd Place. They played well and have with Mateschitz a Investor who wants to put in big money. The only players they sell are the once not needed and for stupid amounts.

As i am from germany and know what the german media reports i don't think Keita, Werner or Forsberg will go anywhere this summer.

Agree5 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 14:50:44
Navy Keita is his brother, the anchorman in midfield.

Agree5 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 15:47:23
I heard he'll make a great skipper one day.

Agree5 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 16:12:00
Only £50m for Navy Keita, one of Europe's best midfielders?

I can't seafarer than that.

Agree7 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 17:43:49
Signing Navy Keita certainly won't be smooth sailing. Can has been rocking the boat, and Leipzig could easily torpedo it. But if we do move for him, let's hope there are no more leaks.

Agree5 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 18:08:37
Hold the boat now. if he wants to jump ship I'm sure we will get our man!

Agree2 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 21:38:47
This story is gathering pace at a rate of knots! The buoy is good to be fair but I can't sea us getting this deal sealed. Probably another rumour to end up on the poop deck.

Agree5 Disagree0

21 Jun 2017 22:50:12
With a name like Navy, perhaps the saga is to do with Everton? He sounds like a blue.

Agree0 Disagree1

22 Jun 2017 00:18:43
This rumour is just gathering momentum from wave after wave of speculation.

It might he more beneficial to fish in other waters. Hopefully we can dangle out some bait and get somebody like Ken Aguero.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Jun 2017 12:29:43
I hope your ship comes in.
