LFC media saying Lemar is having a medical tonight in Paris after Monaco agreed for it to happen, negotiations continue tomorrow but looks like it's a go!
30 Aug 2017 22:02:09
not monaco, deschamps wants medicals done by 9 oclock tonight just in case deals are agreed so there's no disruptions tomorrow for france game.
31 Aug 2017 00:24:18
Monaco would still have to agree to it.
30 Aug 2017 20:54:13
According to James Pearce the Lemar deal can still very well happen. Liverpool medics on standby to fly to France if the clubs can agree on a fee.
30 Aug 2017 21:13:41
"Liverpool medics on standby". It really can't be like that can it?
Imagine 3 blokes sat in an airport awaiting the nod from the club and then, right that's it we have agreed a fee jump on the next plane and get the medical tests done. Lol.
30 Aug 2017 21:26:19
This is Liverpool Football club. Knowing the way they have tried to do business in the past the medical team are probably walking around beside him with the blood pressure cuff on his arm. " Its a go, start pumping that cuff, pump damn it! "
30 Aug 2017 21:29:42
Can they sit?
30 Aug 2017 21:32:39
A private jet I would think. one along the same lines VVD was spotted in.
30 Aug 2017 21:37:45
They probably don't have to fly with Ryanair.
How can they otherwise do it? Lemar is in Paris with the national team playing Holland tomorrow so they can't bring him to Liverpool.
30 Aug 2017 21:40:15
Who said they're on standby at an airport mate? I hear they're twiddling their thumbs awaiting the call with jetpacks strapped to their backs.
31 Aug 2017 00:36:03
U guys r living a bit in the past are t u? Teleportation is now the preferred mode.
31 Aug 2017 01:08:27
Sounds like a crack team of SAS soldiers waiting for the nod to jump aboard a Hercules and rescue British hostages from Libya :)
31 Aug 2017 01:10:05
Knowing Liverpool they've likely already done the medical in his apartment before they even contacted Monaco 😂 Either that or hacked Monaco's medical records 😂.
31 Aug 2017 01:34:54
Probably in the back of a silver Mercedes Vito.
31 Aug 2017 06:46:16
On standby simply means that Lemar is being closely followed around by three Scousers in white coats wherever he goes. All ready to pounce on him when the call comes.
30 Aug 2017 20:12:32
Hey eds, are there any teams interested in Milner atm and is a move possible?
{Ed001's Note - there are interested teams and it is possible he will leave, but I don't expect it to happen until January or next summer to be honest.}
30 Aug 2017 20:50:10
If he does can I say very very good footballer and one the best professionals out there.
30 Aug 2017 19:43:18
CAN to Juventus . eds you heard anything.
{Ed001's Note - yes weeks ago, they bid for him, it was rejected.}
30 Aug 2017 19:53:46
The 4:15 to Didcot, you heard anything Eds?
30 Aug 2017 19:54:04
Yea they are sure they will sign him for FREE next summer!
30 Aug 2017 19:49:16
Cheers ed. i've heard that Juve and Liverpool are negotiating.
{Ed001's Note - not as far as I am aware, Juve moved on to other targets. They might come back before the window shuts, but it is more likely they will agree a deal for him to join on a free next summer.}
30 Aug 2017 19:51:22
Do you see a follow up bid tomorrow ed?
{Ed001's Note - no, I think they will wait and get him on a free personally.}
30 Aug 2017 20:02:18
If we sold Can that would be a ridiculous move as we're short enough of quality in centre midfield as it is. I really don't want to hear the words '. but Ox can play there. ', because he can't. He's shockingly bad in that position.
30 Aug 2017 20:03:47
Ed001, I guess you're going to have a hectic day tomorrow.
Anyway,
Do you see us offering him a new contract or has everyone at the club accepted the fact that he is going to leave on a free transfer next year?
If he does go on a free, he'd probably end up as the bargain signing of this decade!
{Ed001's Note - there is a contract on the table for him if he wants to sign it.}
30 Aug 2017 20:08:52
Any chance of him signing a new deal with us then Ed001?
{Ed001's Note - I think he has decided to go to be honest.}
30 Aug 2017 20:20:23
That's a real shame.
30 Aug 2017 20:32:28
A bit of game time and a few trophies thus season and hopefully he will stay.
30 Aug 2017 20:39:56
Matuidi like a stop gap for can to come next summer?
30 Aug 2017 20:44:14
I can see that if Can has his heart on a move, so be it. But surely he should have some respect for his club and sign a deal, if only so we get something for him instead of him being off on a freebie.
30 Aug 2017 20:58:45
That's it Mr Dennis, get behind the lad before he has joined.
Could it be that he wasn't best utilised at Arsenal, could it be that the development he gets with us will result improvements to his game?
Shocking that a player is written off as hopeless before he has joined.
Konchesky, Poulsen, Jovanovic - these are examples of shockingly bad signings (judged after a number of games for the club) . I firmly believe AOC is better than all of these and I, for one, will be delighted for the lad if he rams all those negative posts down people's throats. He obviously wanted to join us from a while back and I expect he will be very motivated to perform.
Welcome to Liverpool, Alex. Some of us are pleased to see you and won't judge your performances for the club until you have had a chance to play a few games and settle in.
30 Aug 2017 21:16:34
BobbyF if you're trying to tell me that Oxlade is anything less than shockingly bad in centre midfield, then I'm afraid you're wrong. He's played there for both Arsenal and England and looked way out of his depth and looked like a pub footballer. So no, he wouldn't at all be an adequate replacement for Can.
30 Aug 2017 21:17:37
I'll be absolutely gutted if he doesn't sign the contract and leaves. Forget about the money he's turning into a great midfielder.
30 Aug 2017 21:04:21
MrDennis is wrong.
{Ed025's Note - i happen to agree with him decimus..
30 Aug 2017 21:37:38
One would have to assume that Keita would be the replacement for Can if he leaves next summer. It would be a great shame and I very much hope we can have some major success this season that changes his mind.
31 Aug 2017 00:50:39
Can is quickly turning into the cm he was always Said to become. the sort of player any top team needs, I think he will be a big miss. hope we can keep him.
31 Aug 2017 01:19:10
W/ e people think of the ox in the past it is the future we will judge him on. Let's give him a chance before we judge him. Personally I trust klopp and if he thinks he can use the lad (which for 40.000.000 I'm guess he thinks he czn) then I am happy to have another new signing. The lad's been an international player for years and hrs just 23. I'm excited to see him for us. I think klopp will play him on the wings as much as he will in those RM LM midfield slots. Another top addition, well done liverpool.
31 Aug 2017 00:15:33
Is it possible for one of the eds to ask his agent? To find out definitive info.
my head is frazzled.
31 Aug 2017 01:36:51
I have argued in favor of Ox since we have first linked. He will assert himself from day one and while far from a shooin considering our midfield options Ox makes for a much more interesting option from thhe bench or against opposition where wr need a runner from center midfield. I think he will be surprisingly good for us as he was just starting to become a leader at Arsenal.
On a similar subject I think people will find Keita is the replacement for Cans imminent departure, Ox is here to be Milners replacement. Personally feel Can is our best player in that position and we should throw big money at him to get him to choose us over Juventus (if that is indeed the case) although who knows Bayern may come calling if we are successful this season.
Anyway fantastic move for me sealing the deal for Ox, thanks for everything Eds, and let's cross fingers we hear the words Lemar, Van Dyk and accepted over the next two days!
30 Aug 2017 23:18:51
Ed25 you've been waxing lyrical about Sigurdsson for weeks but Ox isn't good enough? Really?
{Ed025's Note - come on ings surely your not trying to compare the two?, one of them has silky skills, immense passing range and has been a regular scorer of goals some of which are amazing for years, he is also a dead ball specialist and rarely misses a game.....the other is the ox mate..
30 Aug 2017 19:28:53
From SFR-Sport (the TV channel, not twitter), talks are still ongoing with AS Monaco regarding Thomas Lemar and at the moment the Jardim is the one reluctant to let another key player go, but there's a good chance the deal will be done. Fingers cross reds.
30 Aug 2017 19:24:12
A question for the eds if I may.
With PSG desperately trying to conform to ffp, have we looked at any central defenders currently playing for them?
{Ed001's Note - I don't believe so.}
30 Aug 2017 21:10:16
Thank you.
30 Aug 2017 19:19:00
Rumours that Lazio have bid £12m for Mignolet.
30 Aug 2017 19:40:44
I will pay for his taxi and Italian lessons.
30 Aug 2017 19:40:48
Long shot but I said before I'd like to see ter Stegen as part of any Coutinho deal.
30 Aug 2017 19:58:30
Lucas must be fuming.
30 Aug 2017 20:11:17
Have we offered them Klavan? £40m 😁.
30 Aug 2017 20:26:47
Beware of Barcelona GK's as they are made to look better than they actually are. Ask Bravo and Valdez.
30 Aug 2017 20:40:33
Doesn't mingolet speak 4/ 5 languages anyway aha?
30 Aug 2017 18:21:24
Lemar deal off, structure of payment issues and Monaco also standing firm on €100 figure which they want.
Ox good as done.
Van dijk will not materialise, Southampton refusing to deal with us completley.
Thomas muller will be targeted as experience for champions league.
Coutinho will stay, word is he accepts the decision now and will get his head down to earn place back. Wants a move next year.
30 Aug 2017 18:38:11
I believe Pipco is already done and agreement is to hold off the confirmation until 1st as to prevent further inflated prices for our targets.
Red deano YNWA.
30 Aug 2017 18:41:22
'Ox as good as done' is the only thing I believe here. Not saying the other things are totally wrong but, given information out there, they mainly sound like pessimistic stabs in the dark.
30 Aug 2017 19:28:04
Sparra, have you inside knowledge or, as I suspect, is this simply "I'll throw some statements together and if a couple of them come off I'll look like the new Macca"
30 Aug 2017 19:32:28
If we have already sold the baby pipco and it bought in a replacement ie Lemar that is bad business.
30 Aug 2017 19:33:06
I actually think a total opposite to all you have said!
30 Aug 2017 19:34:27
Countinho is gone. Get used to it.
30 Aug 2017 20:27:46
Thomas Muller is a pipe dream.
31 Aug 2017 01:24:23
Muller is pipe dream I agree but pc isn't gone yet is he? So unless any of you have inside knowledge all comments are "stabs in the dark" my opinion is dembele was their second choice and after we knocked em back 3 times they signed the dortmund lad. They ain't made of money and 270 mil is a lot of money.
31 Aug 2017 15:36:25
Hs anyone heard about our interest in Muller?
30 Aug 2017 17:52:41
sky sources have confirmed AOC will sign a 6 year deal and undergo a medical today.
30 Aug 2017 18:15:31
Six years? Jeez you wouldn't get that long for armed robbery.
{Ed001's Note - by Sky sources, they mean his agent tweeted the details.......}
30 Aug 2017 18:22:34
Why didn't we sign him when he was at Southampton. We've tried signing everyone else that was there.
30 Aug 2017 18:36:49
He turned Kenny down if memory serves.
30 Aug 2017 19:32:49
I'm delighted to have him tbh, he's a lovely lad when he got his transfer to arsenal he bought his mum a new car, and the fact he wants to play for us as his preference is outstanding.
30 Aug 2017 19:59:15
Mr Dennis your constant bashing of AOC is getting embarrassing. Change your tune please bud.
30 Aug 2017 17:51:55
Fee agreed for the ox.
30 Aug 2017 18:05:58
Yeah. £40m apparently. What's that about? Modern day football at it's best.
30 Aug 2017 18:19:57
Maybe given that we may not succeed in our annual raid on Southampton then we've gone for an ex. Please hope there's no more then like Walcott. Bale on the other hand?
30 Aug 2017 18:21:23
Madness definitely nit worth it in my humble opinion.
30 Aug 2017 18:22:11
Tbf, it's a bargain compared to £45m for Sigurdsson.
30 Aug 2017 18:17:26
I don't care if Klopp turns him into a world beater this is wasted money. Could have got him next year for nowt.
30 Aug 2017 18:17:45
We offered more than Chelsea did?
30 Aug 2017 18:25:01
Something red, it really isn't mate 🙈.
30 Aug 2017 18:19:22
Mane 36 mil. Salah 39. Can 9. Hendo 16 (and we though we over paid)
30 Aug 2017 18:36:22
The ox is a good player . Wenger has mis used him. he can play up top on right wing or central mid of right wing back.
It mean Salah and mane are not over used. it covers are midfield roles. he is basically a young milner. Nothing spectacular but a really good player to have at your club.
He will flourish. 35m for a 24 year old england international. in this current market. put it in perspective drinkwater is about to go for 40m.
30 Aug 2017 18:50:53
I've always rated AOC and mentioned a few times I'd like to see him at LFC this season, so I'm glad it looks like it's going to happen.
It will be interesting to see all the Ox 'haters' suddenly come out and say how much of a great signing he is.
30 Aug 2017 18:59:27
Why didn't we just wait until Jan . would have been half the price - thing is Klopp and Conte both see something in him. I'd rather have given Grujic more of a chance.
30 Aug 2017 19:17:59
Bloody English premium at its best.
30 Aug 2017 19:57:17
Don't compare to previous years transfer prices guys, this year prices have doubled. Tv money has made things crazy.
30 Aug 2017 20:46:46
English premium is bull tbh. compare rudiger and Keane. who is better. is vvd English. what about Lemar. or 30m for sahko who we don't even want lol
It's a premier league tv premium.
31 Aug 2017 01:27:59
Yeah, good signing. Massive show of intent beating chelsea to the signature. I'm proper excited now as depth simply isn't an issue anymore. That cost us last year. Only bad luck with injuries can stop us now imo.
31 Aug 2017 02:40:11
To be fair I'll take Klopp and Conte's opinion of AOC over most in the world let alone someone at home in their underwear on their computer! Lol welcome lad! YNWa.
31 Aug 2017 15:38:18
Hasn't there been a tv deal recently🤦🏼♂️ Think the market may have changed somewhat top business or we'd go up to Scotland with 500,000 and get a Hansen and a dalglish to sort us out!
30 Aug 2017 16:48:23
Hi Eds.
I've heard rumours that Pupco deal to Barcelona is done but won't. be announced until Friday when the Spanish window closes. The rumoured reasons are to try and prevent clubs hiking prices on the back of Pipco fee.
Have you heard same and do you think it' has any truth?
Ta Ed - great work.
{Ed002's Note - That is a perfectly reasonable thing to have heard and I know a nmber of people who are awfully well placed and share that view.}
30 Aug 2017 18:06:30
Thanks Ed, great work.
30 Aug 2017 18:19:15
A very shrewd move from all involved. Good luck to him. It he will have his hands full in a poor Barcelona side (compared to 3 years ago) .
I personally think we are doing great in the market this year. Just need a defender.
30 Aug 2017 18:20:59
Makes sense. FSG saying he'll still be here when the window closes, which he will. Then the Spanish one closes a day later. That's when he'll move.
30 Aug 2017 18:16:22
That does make sense. The main thing is that we actually get a replacement for Pipco.
30 Aug 2017 18:18:31
Ed002, jus told to clarify. So can we still sell a player after England's Thursday deadline of Spanish one closes a day later? Or is it that it would already be done by Thursday but wouldn't be announced til Friday?
{Ed002's Note - Players can be sold at any time, it is the registration of new players that the transfer window relates to. So on FRiday Liverpool could still sell Coutinho to Barcelona (if he hasn't already moved).}
30 Aug 2017 18:19:01
Would that make Thomas Lemar more likely than not? Surely not Coutiniho out and Ox in to replace, that's a big risk if so.
{Ed002's Note - I am not with you. It is unrelated to Lemar.}
30 Aug 2017 18:22:44
Exactly why we are spending so much on Lemar, vvd, keita and ox. Where in the neck did you think that mone6 had come from.
But technically we have swapped cou for ox and keita so far. Add vvd and Lemar and that's the best window we have ever had for me. And the best in the prem.
30 Aug 2017 18:30:55
Ed I understand you saying it's unrelated to Lemar, but if we see Lemar as a direct replacement for Coutinho surely they are related in some capacity? Correct me if I'm wrong just tryna see sense in all of this!
{Ed002's Note - You might want to get out of this "direct" replacement mind set. Interest in Lemar has been very recent and reasonably kneejerk particularly given the interested sides did not see value in the price that was being asked.}
30 Aug 2017 19:19:31
Thing is if we could figure this out then club officials from Europe's elite will figure this out too. And Monaco will for sure haggle hard and Liverpool will pay a club record fee for Lemar. Southampton will get top dollar for VVD too if that materialises.
The late Barcelona interest in Lemar is probably fake too. It's a lot of money for the 21 year old. Arsenal and other clubs didn't want to pay close to that amount. But he could be a real good addition if he settles well. Although can all these forwards fit in the team? Salah, Solanke, Lemar, Mane, Firminio, Lallana, Sturridge.
Good to have options I guess, but will this mean Lemar playing behind Firminio?
30 Aug 2017 19:52:24
Salah, Solanke, Lemar, Mane, Firminio, Lallana, Sturridge, AOC, Winaldum, Henderson, Can, Grujic and Milner into SIX spots. Of course it's a squad game, but there will be some unhappy players.
30 Aug 2017 22:06:16
If we're ambitious that is 38 league games plus another 20 or so cup games across all competitions, maybe more. It is easier to keep players happier across 60 games.
30 Aug 2017 22:01:51
Or hungry to impress ones.
30 Aug 2017 17:40:21
Melissa Reddy has said we have agreed a £35 million fee for Ox.
30 Aug 2017 17:54:41
Lets hope and pray this is not true ☹.
30 Aug 2017 17:56:03
AOC? O,
30 Aug 2017 17:56:31
6 year deal. I think it's a great buy. OX YNWA.
30 Aug 2017 17:59:29
Happy with the deal, he will provide good cover in midfield (L/ C/ R) . So now we have a bunch of Flash in the team.
30 Aug 2017 18:08:23
If it is done let's support the lad not knock him already
Give him a chance please.
30 Aug 2017 18:13:07
Not a fan of his at all BUT he's our player now and will get my support.
30 Aug 2017 18:20:18
Agree with Paisley. He obviously wants to join us - let's make him feel welcome. With a consistent run of games and part of a midfield 3 he could show a greater level to his game than he did at Arsenal.
I am fully behind the lad.
30 Aug 2017 18:28:45
Welcome to Liverpool ox!
this lad can finally fulfill his potential.
30 Aug 2017 19:15:38
I for one am pretty pleased with the acquisition of AOC. He has real quality (granted it's not always been shown ) and still has huge potential to develope into a real power house and a hug e player, and I believe he will at us under klopps supervision he seems to be able to get more out of players . just look at Adam Lallana now under klopp to Lallana under Rodgers he is worlds apart. I feel he was misused by arsenal and Wenger and he was the easy option to hook as he was the youngster in some very good arsenal sides which has suffocated his development in my eyes. he's all about pace and power is the kid and that's how we play . he'll be suited down to the ground with us.
Time is now to behind the kid and back him to the hilt no he's a red.
30 Aug 2017 17:29:03
Wolfsburg hoping to take Origi on loan for the season.
30 Aug 2017 17:48:52
Ox DONE DEAL - 35 MILLION. Medical to take place at Englands training ground. Been tweeted by his management team and Pearce. Welcome to LFC.
30 Aug 2017 17:28:08
Ox to LFC comfirmed by his agent.
Im quite pleased, i think he'll flourish under Klopp.
I just hope we sign VVD and Lemar. Hoping being the opretive word.
30 Aug 2017 17:44:38
They've now deleted the tweet. Unprofessional to announce before the club? I suppose it is what we've come to expect from Colossal. It does however look like it's coming to an end. Well done ed002, i believe it was first mentioned on this site, re: interest from Klopp.
30 Aug 2017 17:51:26
Dont understand this signing to be honest.
Anyway welcom Ox but feel for Gini, Grujic, Ejaria and other hopefuls.
No excitement at alll.
30 Aug 2017 18:00:49
Great signing and reasonable fee in current market. Klopp will get the best out him. VVD next pleeeeease! Lemar would be incredible.
30 Aug 2017 18:01:19
Gini isn't a hopeful, O-C has to try to get his spot, not the other way around.
30 Aug 2017 18:20:17
A rogers-esque signing.
30 aug 2017 18:12:52
cheers kopette. i'm pretty happy about this, always thought it was a no brainer to be honest. can play in a variety of positions, adds bags of pace and has been severely mis-managed over the years. can't wait to see how he plays under klopp.
our squad is finally starting to look healthy, other than that cb position.
next signing please :)
30 Aug 2017 18:49:27
Personally don't think we really needed to look at centre mid unless Can is off in Jan, that said we bough Grujic could have maybe looked to ease him in.
That said if Lallana takes a bit of time and can does go along with Pipco off then its good utility to have.
Showed flashes i thought at Arsenal but again hasn't really done enough for me to warrant us buying him, id have rather looked to strengthen our CB pairing.
However that being said if he is a pool player now I hope he grows, as his career has stalled a little bit and becomes a top player not just for us but England as well :)
30 Aug 2017 17:21:57
Coutinho is gone peeps. politics is the only hurdle keeping this one from being announced. Vvd could go one way or the other atm. AOC is done bar the fine details. Lemar is closer to being done than not. YNWA.
30 Aug 2017 17:28:32
Barca are now in for Lemar, per French media and he is keen to join them as well. Liverpool was not even mentioned as a likely destination either. Make of it what you will.
30 Aug 2017 17:47:17
I never felt confident that he would come for sum reason, they can't buy him an couts can they so we got him for another year.
30 Aug 2017 17:51:09
Barca will not get lemar Dembele and couts I highly doubt.
30 Aug 2017 18:15:44
Couts is gone. we have asked them to ho! d off announcing till we have got our targets doing the lean. After all the tactics couts and Barcelona have pulled that this summer they are happy to oblige us. They get their target we sign lemar.
30 Aug 2017 18:19:15
You say we have got Coutinho for another year, but he has said he's willing to not come back and he's told the club he does not want to play for us ever again, what use is he to the club now? He's still likely to go to the World Cup whether he plays or not.
30 Aug 2017 20:03:20
I didn't say couts is here for another year I said he was gone is gone will be gone. Do I need spell checker or do you need an English lesson?
30 Aug 2017 17:13:43
Hi eds I'm new to this site, signed up to get some clarification as I'm fed up of reading fabricated stories on the search engine . I'm aware it may be tedious for you to answer as I'm aware people ask the same questions but being new here I haven't had much time to read the forums previous posts, can you just clarify if the club are looking to sign both lemar and the ox? Or just the one depending on lemars availability? It sounds like aoc could just be a back up plan and are these transfers depending on the coutinho matter? As I've heard and read that club officials state he's not for sale but in the same breath there's talk he could still leave? I don't know what's what. If you could help me out on this it would be much appreciated 👍🏻.
{Ed001's Note - they are unrelated transfers, Ox is wanted for squad depth, Lemar is to replace Coutinho. Klopp wants both.}

Have I missed something? Is Coutinho definitally leaving?
{Ed001's Note - Klopp has had enough and wants rid.}
30 Aug 2017 17:33:13
Don't blame him Ed001.
30 Aug 2017 18:04:28
Sad that we won't get to see him in our Red again, but it feels the right call, especially if the other 2 are coming in. His conduct has been disappointing but not by any means unique, I thank him for the good times and I'll applaud him when he's on the losing side in the CL decisive semi final 2nd leg!
30 Aug 2017 18:07:04
Thought Salah basically replaced Coutinho with Mane moving to the left wing and Salah to the right? What position do you think he would play ed if he signed? Cheers.
30 Aug 2017 18:26:02
Salah was the winger Klopp wanted instead of Brandt and nothing to do with Coutinho (it's in the posts) . If we end up selling Coutinho (which I suspect has happened), and the only player we've brought in afterwards is Oxlade Chamberlain, that's literally like selling a Ferrari and buying a Yugo Zastava and expecting the same performance. he's just a typical English player, all grunt and no brains, no skill, no finesse and no ability to pick a pass to unlock a defence.
30 Aug 2017 17:03:14
Graeme Kelly has just said that the Lemar deal is close and will get done.
30 Aug 2017 17:13:38
Who is this guy?
Sorry to be a bit ignorant, never heard of him before two days ago.
30 Aug 2017 17:16:55
Who is Graeme Kelly?
30 Aug 2017 17:17:37
it is truth it seems. Coutinho is gone as well. ox seems to be close but if we don't sign a cb don't know if we are much stronger IMO.
30 Aug 2017 17:20:43
Is he normally reliable?
30 Aug 2017 17:21:37
Omg! If it does. let's all get ready to do a rain dance!
30 Aug 2017 17:27:21
Don't know if we are much stronger?
So much negativity on here
TAA now starting games (wasn't last year)
Robertson in. Moreno playing better (ok may revert back to old form but playing better)
Can fully fit and looking good
Salah in - settled in well
Solanke - forced origi down pecking order
Sturridge - fitter (ok, again may not last)
Looks like adding AOC and Lemar
Losing coutinho - great player and would love him to stay but surely new players and improvement of existing players makes us far stronger 🤷🏻♂️.
30 Aug 2017 17:33:20
Graeme Kelly was right with Robertson even when the link seemed to go cold. Also took a lot of abuse for having picture of Kieta 8 as profile picture, he insisted through out it would happen and stood firm so obviously has some idea of what he's talking about I'd imagine. Hope this helps guys.
30 Aug 2017 17:28:23
Didn't he used to the fa cup draw years ago? Little squeaky voiced fella.
Not sure how he would be ITK.
30 Aug 2017 19:08:19
He is the best ITK on Twitter by a country mile. Go to his Twitter @GraemeKelly1, he called Ox, VVD, Keita and Robertson in May the day of the Boro game.
30 Aug 2017 19:09:55
Must say though Graham said yesterday that Lemar is Coutinho's replacement. He said we would only sign Ox if Origi is off and Lemar was coming regardless.
30 Aug 2017 17:02:40
Some reports saying the ox pencilled in for medical at St. George's park! 🤷🏻♂️.
30 Aug 2017 16:52:46
Any out goings apart from coutinho
Is origi now linked with spurs.
{Ed001's Note - Origi is available for a loan, his dad just suggested maybe Spurs as a possible team, it is not a link as such, just an idea of the kind of team that he wants to get some gametime with.}
30 Aug 2017 17:08:24
Haha if he can't get ahead of firminho how's he expect to get ahead of Kane.
30 Aug 2017 17:21:38
I'd pick him over Harry Kane all day long!
{Ed001's Note - seriously? Kane is an excellent player.}
30 Aug 2017 17:30:20
Kane is a great player. Origi should aspire to be him as he is very talented and a better dribbler, has more pace and trickery than Kane.
{Ed025's Note - taking drugs is not big and its not clever bingo..
30 Aug 2017 17:45:31
Kane has been the top prem scorer for the last 2 seasons how many has Origi scored in the last 2 seasons the answer should show how wrong you are.
30 Aug 2017 18:02:02
Origi has one thing kane will never have and that's speed. Also he is now used to bench warming. Coz thar is what he will be doing there. Kane is excellent player, proud he is English.
30 Aug 2017 18:57:19
MB how can you even compare goals scored between Kane and Origi? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kane played pretty much every game while Origi hardly got a sniff in. Worst comparison I have ever seen to be honest.
Next you'll mention distance covered throughout the season or something daft 😂.
30 Aug 2017 21:03:48
Spot on, RedPhil. Superred and MB, comparing Origi with Kane is a false argument. He has scored 22 goals for LFC while being a bench warmer which is not bad and is still learning the game. I'm happy he is at LFC. Ed25, you should be happy Origi is off on loan as he does not have to terrorize your pathetic backline like he always does on derby days.
{Ed025's Note - used to you mean bingo, our back line is stronger now..
30 Aug 2017 16:47:01
Maybe this will help for the evening rush
Coutinho - Barcelona are still interested. The club and Klopp did not want to sell. Klopp now does not want to keep him and he will likely move.
Lemar - We are interested. Monaco have so far not accepted an offer from us. The offers may or may not include Origi. If we make Monaco an acceptable offer he will likely sign.
Van Dijk - Thus club are still very interested. Soton have repeatedly said they do not want to sell. There has been significant damage done to the relationship with Soton and as such a deal seems unlikely at present. Soton would need to soften their stance and we would need to overpay to get him. He might end up elsewhere.
AOC - We are interested. It does not depend on other transfers. He wants the move and Klopp likes him. Looks like a good chance this will happen.
Koulibaly - There was interest earlier in the summer, we made an offer, it was rejected. Now that Napoli have qualified for the CL and we have left it so late this is a non starter.
Howedes - We were never interested. Has moved elsewhere anyway.
Mahrez - We are not interested.
Draxler - We are not interested.
Drinkwater - We are not interested.
Luan - We were interested. Complex third party ownership issues, will definitely not happen this summer, may be one for later.
GKs - We are not looking to sign any GKs. Lots of speculation about Migs leaving. Eds have not confirmed this in any way. Unlikely to be any change this summer.
Keita - Joining next summer.
Can - Has not signed a new contract. No developments on this. He will want guarantees on involvement. Will be difficult with AOC maybe coming and Keita coming next summer.
Sakho - Wanted by Crystal Palace. We rejected their latest offer. Holding out for more money. The club want rid, will likely be resolved before the end of the window. West Brom might be interested.
Ings - Not likely to go on loan. Will stay and improve fitness with a view to be a rotation option later in the season.
Sturridge - Not going anywhere this summer.
Milner - Not going anywhere this summer.
Origi - Could be loaned out but leaving it late to sort it now.
Moreno - Now very likely to stay
Klavan - Not going anywhere this summer
Lallana - Rumours of Spurs interest. Eds have not confirmed this. Not moving this summer.
Mane - Inter were interested. No plans to sell.
I think that covers just about everyone.
30 Aug 2017 17:07:25
Good summary RedDawn.
30 Aug 2017 17:32:01
Thanks, RedDawn. I will just add one more thing. Lemar is on Barca's radar and per French media, he is keen on them as well. We shall see.
30 Aug 2017 18:09:05
Top marks for opinion RedDawn.
30 Aug 2017 17:37:27
Excellent summary Reddawn hopefully save the eds some editing this evening!
30 Aug 2017 16:45:08
Is the Barcalona's interest in Lemar actually concrete and real? Or is it just one of those dirty moves to try and strong arm Liverpool into selling Coutinho?
{Ed002's Note - Are you sure Coutinho hasn't already been sold?}
30 Aug 2017 16:53:39
Touché.
30 Aug 2017 16:59:01
Has he ed?
{Ed002's Note - Perhaps.}
30 Aug 2017 16:41:52
I've been led to believe that 3 players will potentially be joining in next 2 days. Lemar is due to sign, fee agreed but nothing released to press yet, Origi going on loan for season. AOC set to sign as Klopp likes his desire to join us and think he has a role to play for us. VVD will join, negotiations on going in back ground.
If these 3 sign expect Coutinho to leave. I'm all for letting Coutinho go after being able to train for Brazil and being passed fit.
The team will be a hell of a lot stronger if those 3 sign and Couts goes.
30 Aug 2017 16:53:23
Can't see that happening mate Lemar is off so it says on several sites. Looks like AOC, not sure we will get VVD either.
30 Aug 2017 17:13:30
Lemar is far from off.
30 Aug 2017 15:52:35
Any gossip on ins and outs this window lol.
30 Aug 2017 16:09:23
Nah there's nothing going on mate.
30 Aug 2017 16:12:33
Well, if Liverpool are unable to bring in a centre back then there is a very good chance my computer will be thrown out the window.
If we do very good business, with a couple of very good signings, that include a centre back, then there is a every chance I will jump out of my window, completely naked, and sprint around my neighbourhood with the police and my girlfriend chasing me down trying to stop me.
30 Aug 2017 16:25:29
Are people actually taking this seriously? This was clearly a sarcastic post. jeez.
30 Aug 2017 16:49:41
It appears its only you taking it seriously, Dawn!
30 Aug 2017 16:53:31
One person is #reddawn.
30 Aug 2017 15:36:39
Sneaking away again eds some crazy United fan in the office is trying to wind me up saying were are trying for mahrez I told him no way, just hoping you could help me by confirming a no interest IN Mahrez from us LFC.
{Ed001's Note - none.}
30 Aug 2017 15:53:58
There is interest in Mahrez actually. not as concrete as Lemar and Ox, those two deals + VVD are the ones we want to get over the line if fees can be agreed. Leicester have given us permission to speak to Mahrez apparently but he isn't one of our top targets.
30 Aug 2017 15:58:31
Thanks again Ed001 now I can go shut him down.
30 Aug 2017 16:05:47
I thought I heard Utd are after him.
30 Aug 2017 16:12:40
I'd take Mahrez.
30 Aug 2017 16:46:33
in a heartbeat.
but we are well stocked in his position unfortunately.
While all others play hard football, he comes across as an artist working on his canvass.
Such beautiful composure and skill on the ball.
30 Aug 2017 15:31:20
Ed1, the English press is saying we're giving up on Lemar and focussing solely on AOC now. Is that correct in your opinion?
Or are the deals irrespective of each other?
Thanks mate.
{Ed001's Note - it is bull. They are not related, the Lemar issue hinges on agreeing a fee with Monaco, nothing to do with Ox.}
30 Aug 2017 15:41:05
Are the teams far apart on the fee or do you expect it to be sorted?
{Ed001's Note - no idea on the fee, but Klopp wants him and we have seen with Keita the club will pull out all the stops to do a deal when Klopp wants someone.}
30 Aug 2017 15:43:43
Thanks ed. Do you, in your opinion, think we'll pay what is required? It's a no brainier to me if it means we can sell Coutinho.
{Ed001's Note - I believe the club will back Klopp in whatever he decides, so it depends on how highly he values Lemar. I would say they will but this is LFC and that means it will no doubt be a letdown on deadline day!}
30 Aug 2017 15:44:56
It ia being reportes that Lemar deal has nothing to do with money but lack of time to get it done before France play tomorrow. Is this valid? From all i ve been reading today we will get only Ox. don't see Lemar or VVD coming based on todays action.
{Ed001's Note - there is plenty of time to get it done.}
30 Aug 2017 15:45:12
ED is right. We need both, for Depth. Apart from Can, Gini and hendo, who else with experience we have in Midfield? Grujic is not yet the finish article. so Lemar, OX, would be great addition. Remember. We have PL, Champions, FA CUP, the other Cup. so we have 4 tournaments.
This squad is one of the best in the last 10 - 15 years. and maybe, the Best squad in the Premier League, yes, far better than Mancs.
30 Aug 2017 15:45:17
Is there a backup plan for Lemar Ed001? They seem to be asking for too much and I think we will walk away. Mahrez maybe? Just cannot see a way back for Coutinho now and letting him go with only OX coming in makes our squad significantly weaker.
{Ed001's Note - no, Lemar is a back up plan for Couts remember.}
30 Aug 2017 15:47:42
Cheers ed. I asked same thing mate. Youve answered now. I think we are all fearing the same thing in ending up with Ox an not Lemar.
30 Aug 2017 15:49:19
Ed001 I have been wanting your words on this topic the whole day. So do you believe we are stil negotiating for Lemar or is a deal completely off? Did officials even go to france?
Thanks in advance.
{Ed001's Note - I don't believe it is dead, I have no idea about where our officials are though.}
30 Aug 2017 15:53:38
What's the situation with center half? Tuesday came an went!
{Ed001's Note - I have no idea what Tuesday has to do with anything.}
30 Aug 2017 15:55:07
Hi Eds, is there a medical for Ox scheduled today?
{Ed001's Note - I don't know mate.}
30 Aug 2017 15:57:49
Thanks Ed001. Your a real gem.
{Ed001's Note - if Pearce is stating LFC officials are in Monaco to do a deal, then he will have been briefed by the club to say that. I can't see why they would want him saying that if they are not there.}
30 Aug 2017 16:44:12
Ed are Barcelona also after Lemar now mate?
{Ed002's Note - Barcelona has spoken to Monaco in the past about Lemar.}
30 Aug 2017 17:01:48
But nothing recent like this week? Cheers ed.
{Ed002's Note - I have explained that Monaco are not keen to sell the player.}
30 Aug 2017 17:51:33
Aside from everything else.
Why are teams just being tit heads with us.
Baka 40 mil
Mandy 40 mil
Silva (the better player) 60 mil
Fair enough with mbappe but he is a future ballon winner.
Yet We bid 66 mil and can't get it done. Oh and they have already have his replacement in keita.
Shame as would of loved him but if we're keeping cou then sall good.
30 Aug 2017 18:01:50
End of the day the keita deal means every single mess up has now been forgiven. We handled that like champs, ruthless. Got ou5 man. Back our manager.
I have every confidence the time when we turned away transfers over a 2 mil difference are long gone.
I think where in the final stages of the Lemar deal which will give cou enough time to sort his Barcelona move out.
It will be done.
30 Aug 2017 15:22:44
Barcelona have apparently bid less the Liverpool's 1st offer for Lamar.
Are they on drugs?
30 Aug 2017 15:29:09
Grassalona?
30 Aug 2017 15:30:34
Odds on Monaco accepting less than what we bid.
30 Aug 2017 15:36:19
They are probably expecting Lemar to go on strike against both Monaco and the French National team, so he can force his way to Barcelona and then captain the state of Catalonia (when it happens) . Absolutely deluded club that think they can get away with everything rotten they do, and then claim to be "more than a club. " Fake is an appropriate word for Barca.
30 Aug 2017 15:37:29
The news is going on overdrive now,
(1) Lemar - we flew there, medical team on the way, then Barcelona bid, then we pulled out
(2) Ox - Chelsea bid and good to go, we were not interested, then Ox rejected them, then Lemar deal stalled, we are back in again.
(3) VVD - I was expecting him to sign yesterday, everything quite, bookies were odds on yesterday, today they changed, now VVD is still optimistic
WTH is wrong man.
30 Aug 2017 14:18:06
VvD has trained with Southampton all be it away from the frist team today. he's not on a private jet, not in a Mercedes van, he's in Southampton. Looks like he will remain there.
30 Aug 2017 14:20:35
training last about 2hrs, we have up until 11pm tomorrow.
30 Aug 2017 14:22:36
Aren't they on a international break?
30 Aug 2017 14:23:15
international break mate. Doubt they're even doing first team at moment must if not all will be away.
That being sad I do think it is highly unlikely LFC will get anyone else. Maybe Ox but that'll be it.
30 Aug 2017 14:23:25
Just because he has turned up at training does not mean that he will not leave. He has always turned up at training, just been told to train alone. Which has been the case for the last few weeks.
30 Aug 2017 14:29:29
Clubs still train in international break - just depends whether he is in the Netherlands squad.
30 Aug 2017 14:58:58
It's not happening, it never has been.
This goes down in history as "the VVD window".
30 Aug 2017 15:01:22
These are international qualifiers for the World Cup. Serious stuff. Who's going to call up a player for these games, when he hasn't had one single competitive football game in 7 months? It's okay to have wet dreams about the guy (VVD), but come on.
30 Aug 2017 15:06:49
It really means nothing. Ox looks almost definite yet he played against us merely a few days ago.
30 Aug 2017 17:50:55
I've got a friend who works in finance and does some work for the saints, he's also a saints fan. so pinch of salt needed here or a bucket load, but he is absolutely adament that Southampton will not, under any circumstances sell VVD to Liverpool. They are still seething and it will make a mockery of their complain to the FA. Be interesting to see if money talks if we do make a massive bid mind, but as it stands. VVD will never play for Liverpool, unless he goes to another club first.
In fact, it looks like us directly getting any more players from Southampton in the next few years is now a massive no go. He also went on to say that LFC are fully aware of this and haven't even re-opened any negotiators with Southampton over VVD as they know it's an impossibility. This same friend also said we will sign Clyne 6 months before it happened but also said we were close to signing to Rodriguez so he's certainly not in the know. Fingers crossed though, if we do get him I'll buy him a "Mary Poppins" T-shirt!
30 Aug 2017 18:36:23
I agree with your mate HMF 🤝.
30 Aug 2017 12:44:15
lfc now in talks with the ox- paul joyce.
30 Aug 2017 12:54:54
Are we trying to persuade him to stay at Arsenal or join Chelsea?
30 Aug 2017 12:55:19
The reason he turned down Chelsea is this idiotic idea he has that he can be a centre midfielder. Someone needs to give him a dose of reality.
30 Aug 2017 12:58:55
my god talking to an OX we'll be talking with goats and sheep next 😁.
30 Aug 2017 13:06:32
Mr Dennis: If you don't like the position your working in your probally trying to get a Job where you can do what you want to eventhough you might not be as effective in it as you have been in your other Job/ position. But maybe its the manager that can't get the best out of you and you will flourish at your new job/ position and everything will work out better then expected. Youll never know.
30 Aug 2017 13:10:10
Dennis I think you may end up with egg on your face here. I've seen Ox play centre mid twice and he was not very good so I do see where you are coming from. I do however think that if he's coached correctly he could be very good there. Not Gerrard good but good. He has pace, power, can shoot, is direct. He just needs to sort himself out positionally which may take time but I think Klopp and his team could turn him into a player.
30 Aug 2017 13:12:05
Let's hope it's not a sheep - with today's silly transfer fees we'll get fleeced!
30 Aug 2017 13:12:10
As I've said before when ox was first on the scene I really liked him. It's not his ability I'd be worried about as could improve again it's his injury record.
30 Aug 2017 13:18:28
With you on this, Ings n things.
30 Aug 2017 13:19:35
I just don't see where he fits in, he's a good squad player but apparently doesn't want that, hope I'm wrong but I'm preparing to be extremely disappointed when we miss out on Lemar, lose Coutinho and find out Ox is the replacement. Hope I'm wrong. If I am can somebody tell me who he's better than in our starting lineup?
30 Aug 2017 13:20:06
So which one of our midfield 3 is going to drop out to allow Ox to practice his new position as a cm. Or are we spending 30-40 mill so he can play in cup games.
30 Aug 2017 13:32:53
I reckon Klopp will still use him on the wings. Does everyone think Mane and Salah can play every minute of every game this season? Players will need to be rotated and whilst I think everyone would prefer Lemar it is good we are talking to both to make sure we at least get someone else in.
30 Aug 2017 13:37:49
Ings n things, his shooting is actually appalling, 9 premier league goals in 6 years is a shocking output for an attacking midfielder at a top four club, he has nothing in his skillset that remotely suggests he is capable of playing CM, his positional sense is appalling, he lacks composure on the ball, his passing is poor and he lacks vision. You say power and pace, but those things don't last very long, just ask Wayne Rooney whose decline over the last 3-4 years has been pretty shocking. Gerrard had pace and power, but he also had a wand of a right foot and vision when in possession of the ball.
30 Aug 2017 13:38:08
We must trust Klopp. He knows how to buold a team with players others deem not good enough. Bar Karius.
30 Aug 2017 13:39:13
No he can fit in on wings if mane or salah need resting or injury last season we were cryin out for someone like him when mane or coutihno injured its strength in depth, we might get lamar as well let's be positive, big worry for me is another central defender we need that cover as well.
30 Aug 2017 13:39:46
I don't see why we should follow the herd on this one, I reckon we should grab the bull by the horns, hitch our wagon up and enjoy the ride.
30 Aug 2017 13:51:26
hailstones, you do get that he rejected Chelsea as they wouldn't guarantee him being a first choice starter in CM. That is what he is demanding. So who do you drop to accommodate him? As he isn't better than any of our starting eleven.
30 Aug 2017 14:04:43
i would still play Firmino or Lallana ahead of him on the wings and put Sturridge or Solanke up front.
30 Aug 2017 14:05:22
I'm going to be fuming if we have opted to sign for ox over lemar. (If Monaco was open to selling lemar) . This would be like us signing Stewart downing over Juan Mata from a couple of years ago because simply they are british and played in the premier league.
30 Aug 2017 14:23:13
Give the lad a break he very young an under klopp will get better he will know he won't specifically be a centre mid he is versatile an can fit in any wide forward position, he a good option, but obviously we need more especially cb.
30 Aug 2017 14:31:13
He's a good option at half the price, you don't pay £40m for a squad player.
30 Aug 2017 14:49:13
There are people who always want someone to criticize. Wasn't there the same uproar about Wijnaldum when he was signing for us?
30 Aug 2017 15:17:56
Ox is poor in a central midfield role but shown promise as a wing back/ wide man but he is also prone to injury. Lemar is a class above him IMO.
I'm hoping Ox is plan B not the other way. After all OX wants guaranteed playing time in a central position and we eased off on Brandt (or vice versa) . Concentrate on Can signing a new contract and getting a leader in at CB. Coutinho needs to go as we don't need uncommitted players however superb he has been for us.
No need to spend £30M on fringe players in the last year of their contract.
30 Aug 2017 15:44:23
Milner can play on either wing, either FB or in CM. He's 32 this season. Milners replacements as the utility player of choice?
30 Aug 2017 17:48:41
You do all realise that last season, we had mane, Henderson, lallana, can, Coutinho out of action for large spells last year, we also have a lot more games too. He isn't my first choice but I think he is a decent player to come in over a number of positions.
30 Aug 2017 17:46:46
my god. this man plays for England and this is how you treat him. no wonder the last time you won a trophy was in 66. give him a chance. a confident Ox will be different to one you see now.
30 Aug 2017 12:14:00
LFC and Monaco officials are currently meeting regarding Lemar! Fingers crossed.
30 Aug 2017 12:24:45
Source HP or Daddies.
Had a word with John Aldo in ALDI this morning circa 10.A. M, Absolutely loves Jurgen Klopp says he is "very canny" ( fancy saying CANNY in ALDI? OR was it a secret code with regard to Emre CAN ) says he rates Jurgen in same class as Dalglish and Paisley only needs Trophies to Crack on.
Went past Coutinhio house orange venetian blinds still fully closed!
30 Aug 2017 12:24:45
Hope they aren't too shy otherwise it could be a never ending story.
30 Aug 2017 12:31:44
I love the excitement and expectation in these posts 😂😂come on red men.
30 Aug 2017 12:51:43
1jj - that was Limahl.
30 Aug 2017 12:54:18
1jj LFC shy? We bully our way to get transfers done haha.
30 Aug 2017 12:58:37
Cant blame them. Have been there last week and the weather is phanomenal.

My Uncle knows Phil's milkman and apparently he has cancelled his milk until Sunday (but ordered a dozen yoghurts strangely)

According to reports medical is booked in France due to international friendlies being played tomorrow for lemar just what I've got the internet true or not don't know.
Liverpool remain in talks with Monaco and are willing upto 75million some say origi some don't.
30 Aug 2017 11:53:17
Media claims that Liverpool officials is flying to france to finalize the deal, as we speak. Please someone confirm or incurage at least.
30 Aug 2017 11:59:57
I've heard the same mate 👍.

We managed to crash the air travel site yesterday - let's see if we can do it again :)
30 Aug 2017 13:06:07
It's gone quiet at the mo, things gapping behind the scene.
30 Aug 2017 13:24:50
That's great we will score 5 an concede 6!

Hi Eds,
Monaco haven't responded to our 80M bid yet, reckon that's a sign?
Also, any news regarding VVD, personally don't see it happening as we've left it too late. Deadline is hours away and we haven't placed a bid yet.
{Ed002's Note - Something may be possible with Lemar - didn't van Dijk sign yesterday after everyone here was telling me he flew in?}
30 Aug 2017 11:51:14
Monaco need to get a replacement in ASAP before they sell as Lemar (per Ed01) is interested in coming to us.
30 Aug 2017 11:51:57
Have we signed VVD already?
30 Aug 2017 11:56:48
He flew in? I bet his arms are buggered.
30 Aug 2017 12:01:58
We signed his brother Dick.
30 Aug 2017 12:07:18
Yesterday mate. £10 ;)
30 Aug 2017 12:07:45
@Bingo: Monaco signed Keita balde yesterday so they allready got the replacement.
30 Aug 2017 12:10:19
Monaco have already signed Keita Balde as a replacement.
30 Aug 2017 12:28:01
Isnt balde mbappe replacement.
30 Aug 2017 12:39:05
Signed jovetic as well.
30 Aug 2017 12:39:12
Ah, I totally forgot that Keita Balde is a Monaco player now. Sorry. lads.
30 Aug 2017 12:41:17
Nope jovetic is mbappe's replacement.
30 Aug 2017 12:27:58
Virgil was acting as Thunderbird 2 yesterday Ed002. He just so happened to fly to Liverpool.
30 Aug 2017 11:13:11
30m bid rejected for OX from Liverpool.
30 Aug 2017 11:34:36
Next bid will be 30m+1.
30 Aug 2017 11:45:34
£30m too much. Leave it as a free transfer or half that in January.
30 Aug 2017 12:00:28
Dont think arsenal will sell to us, after the suarez drama, and im sure i heard Firmino has a 80 million release clause to anybody except Arsenal, if that's true that's peanuts these days. That contract needs sorting.
30 Aug 2017 12:44:28
Asking to play central. Do we really see him playing there on a regular basis?
Turning down Chelsea due to the potential role too. Good utility/ squad player but 40 million and making promises of where he will play? Not so sure myself.
30 Aug 2017 14:08:05
Would assume the thinking is this, he turned down the Chelsea money, his contract runs out end of season, no one else is knocking on their door so LFC can bid less than Chelsea. Simple rule of supply and demand, Arsenal can get 30m now, potentially less in January or nothing in the summer. If they keep saying no I'd actually be a bit impressed with the stance they are taking. Not sure it is sensible but still would be impressed.
30 Aug 2017 17:44:50
Why are Liverpool supporters so obsessed with release clauses? Can someone explain it to me?
30 Aug 2017 11:12:01
eds, any truths in the rumor of markovic to rangers, surely liverpool and markovic wants to play at a higher level than the SPL.
{Ed001's Note - I have not heard of anything to do with Rangers, other than when I was editing their site earlier and someone said it. He was also being linked with Celtic. Neither would pay his wages for a loan and neither would pay the transfer fee, so it seems highly unlikely.}
30 Aug 2017 11:57:21
Is it soo bad to have Markovic warm the bench from time to time?
30 Aug 2017 12:18:21
it would be so bad for him, plus he is dire.
30 Aug 2017 12:22:15
Yes. Get him off the wage bill. The bench has under-seat heating.
30 Aug 2017 12:48:04
Always liked him. Ran at defenders. A good cross and a decent shot on him. Shame we could have given him more time to develop before sending him out but hope he finds a decent club to get his career on track.
Would love to see him at Swansea!
30 Aug 2017 14:10:06
Although i never understood signing him when Ibe was already at the club and the difference was negligable since both were purely about potential, he isn't a rubbish player by any means, not good enough for top 6 club but probably got a good EPL career in him so hopefully the club doesn't screw up a second time by pricing him out of a decent move.
