Hi Ed's

Seen as the world cup is nearly here. Do you know of any players we should specifically look out for who are currently on our transfer radar? Or players we are linked with to keep an eye on?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Not beyond what has been mentioned.}

El Hadj Djouff.

Glen Hysen.

World Cup is not usually the best place to go shopping or scouting. Bernard Diomede, El Hadj Diouff, Salif Diao, etc.

{Ed001's Note - Diouf and Diao were signed before the World Cup began. It was just that other clubs started showing interest and so it emerged during the tournament we had signed them. Diao was only signed to give Diouf a mate at the club, he was never expected to play regularly.}

I really thought diao got a raw deal at pool and was a little better than his career at pool suggested. Think he had a decent enough time at stoke after. El hadji was a right scumbag though.

Diouf was signed largely on Patrice Burges' recommendation. Would've been nice if he'd told his mate Ged why Diouf was on his 3rd club at just 21 though.

Hope we can find another Divock Origi.

Or a Suarez.

Salif Diao plays in every single Liverpool “legends” charity game must have more appearances in them than he actually had for us.

We should seriously look at Japanese team, they have really technical players like Doan who star for FC freiburg.

Onekiss, I remember going to a pre season friendly, I think it wasbat Crewe and even though he hadn't played for the club for years Dioa came out to do a warm up before the game. We were all baffled.

I think we can all agree that diao is a fluffen boss.

Solid Diao may not have been great, but I don’t recall him ever doing anything to untoward on the pitch during his few appearances, nor do I recall any attitude problems unlike his supposed mate the waste of space. Still can’t believe we signed him instead of Anelka ?‍♂️.

What is really pathetic is that Diouf is still at it; spitting venom at the club every chance he gets. The man is still living in the past; things must have, and are still, downhill, since he left.

Ultimately, selling Fowler, not taking up the Anelka option and buying Diouf, Diao and Cheyrou was the beginning of the end for Ged. A mare not disimilar to Brendan's post-Suarez business.
