Any truth in the Mandanda rumours? Hoping not to be honest as what Little I've seen of him I can't see our set piece (particularly corners) defensive woes getting any better.

{Ed002's Note - SM is not happy where he is and I am sure would be open to a move. Liverpool's interest has been elsewhere and it is something that would be rather surprising given Klopp decided on his own man over making an approach for him last summer. He will want to be first pick and Klopp has already promised that to someone else.}

Who has he promised?

Agree1 Disagree4

{Ed002's Note - Karius.}

04 Apr 2017 18:08:13
Right mate, of course!

Thanks for the answer! :)

So do you reckon Karius will be first choice next season? If that is the case, do you reckon Migs will be sold?

Thanks!

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The GK situation is difficult. Karius is the number one according to KK, Mignolet is getting on OK but knows he is number 2. KK needs to resolve this but as we know Liverpool are looking around.}

What's Keegan got to do with it 😄?

Agree5 Disagree0

{Ed033's Note - It's King Klopp 😋.

04 Apr 2017 23:52:29
I do rate Klopp and hope Karius is given another chance at some point, but he kinda messed this position up by stating Karius is no.1 and then constantly playing mugs. Not that mugs has done badly, but it can't be good for either players morale.

Agree5 Disagree0

I don't see the problem with bringing back Mognolet; Karius needed a little shielding, and in his absence, Mignolet has come in and playing okay. But come summer, like Ed002 has said, he will likely move as Karius will likely start next season as number 1.

His goalkeepers at Dortmund were abit irratic aswell, klopp just wants bums on the edge of there seats. Let him do his thing as Liverpool are brilliant to watch.

Agree0 Disagree4

05 Apr 2017 12:31:56
But Steve Mandanda has been in and out of the Palace team himself yet he'll be wanting a starting spot?

Regardless we will need some kind of experienced next season, either as over for Karius or to compete. Sirigu would be a good shout.

Agree0 Disagree1

05 Apr 2017 13:29:37
We need to make an move for Jordan Pickford. He is potentially a future England No.1 and with Sunderlands impending relegation, may come at a reasonable price.

Agree5 Disagree3

05 Apr 2017 14:13:40
Pickford is not the solution. We have a young keeper in Karius, all we need is an experienced and for me, Ruffier would do for the short term.

Agree3 Disagree1

05 Apr 2017 14:19:28
😂 @ "Mognolet".

I'm going to get a cat called Mognolet and kick it every time Migs throws one in the net 😆.

Agree2 Disagree6

05 Apr 2017 15:05:15
Doesn't seem to make many mistakes, is a fantastic shot stopper and has great goalkeeping technique. Plus he's young and homegrown. Ticks all the boxes.

But with the inevitable interest surrounding him, he won't be cheap. And if Karius has been promised the number one spot, would it be worth spending big on another GK?

Agree2 Disagree5

{Ed001's Note - Pickford looks an excellent future number one, but to suggest he doesn't seem to make many mistakes is false. He has made quite a few errors, which is normal for a young keepers learning the game.}

04 Apr 2017 20:40:10
Right, but is Migs playing at the moment because Klopp doesn't think that Karius is ready at the moment? And when you say that we're looking around, is that too replace Migs or even looking for a new number 1?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - Mignolet has been told that Karius is first choice. Mignolet may wish to leave in the Summer if he doesn't get the support of the manager. Danny Ward is another problem looming for the club.}

04 Apr 2017 22:10:58
Thanks for the reply ed, i hope we get to see the keeper klopp sees in Karius one day 🤔.

Agree1 Disagree0

Hi Ed002. first directing a question to you. go easy. if SM leaves, who are we looking at?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - As has been previously explained Liverpool have looked at Pickford and Ruffier.}

05 Apr 2017 17:10:11
Hey ed02, sorry to butt in, but if one of Pickford or Ruffier is brought in, would that be as a reserve for Karius, and would the player be ok with that? I am confused because while Ruffier seems like a steady, experienced option, Pickford is young and as ed01 said, being a backup would stagnate his development.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - I am afraid I don't know and would doubt Klopp does.}

05 Apr 2017 17:24:33
I agree with Gary Neville when he says it's easy to look like a good keeper or defender when you're under pressure constantly. I don't think that Pickford is someone who will ever be a top level keeper, look at the types of goals he concedes, look at the fact that he is poor on crosses (he's easily dominated by bigger centre halves and strikers and given that we're not exactly the biggest team or that great on crosses or dead ball situations bringing in a keeper who is weaker when dealing with crosses than those already employed by the club makes no sense) I also think his concentration isn't that great. He's a mid table player at best and I'd hope we don't make the mistake of buying someone who won't improve the starting 11.

Agree6 Disagree5

05 Apr 2017 22:04:34
A bit harsh. He's young and has a lot of potential so I think it's too early to write him off as a top goalkeeper. Same as it's too soon to label him the next Buffon - not that anyone is.

Agree5 Disagree4

06 Apr 2017 11:12:07
So Pickford is out of the question now with the ban? Or did i understand the ban wrong?

Agree0 Disagree1

06 Apr 2017 16:40:47
It's just youth recruitment that is banned. So Sessegnon is out of the question now. Regrettably we will probably still waste a ton of cash on Pickford.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Apr 2017 23:06:35
Yann Sommer.

Agree1 Disagree1

07 Apr 2017 16:41:35
It's klipperty Klopp not king Klopp. 🙃.

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Apr 2017 13:32:49
We need an experienced keeper bringing stability tomour backline. We have done and failed with the young keeper strategy.

Hi Eds,

I was reading the BBC Gossip page a few days ago and came across a name I haven't seen in a while, Luis Muriel. Do you know whether Liverpool still hold an interest in the player or is this just rehashed gossip from a few years back?

Cheers,
JayJayOkocha.

{Ed002's Note - West Ham, Valencia and Napoli are the sides showing an interest - Liverpool's interest is elsewhere and I have no idea why someone is linking them with interest now or in the past JJO.}

04 Apr 2017 19:48:36
Cheers Ed002.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Thanks JJ - but from the posts here it seems everyone is linked to LFC.}

05 Apr 2017 06:03:59
Thankfully no interest from us. When Suarez left, there were some people who wanted him to be the next Suarez even though he was nowhere near his level.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Apr 2017 12:33:38
Would have been better than Balotelli.
