Hi ED002,

im just interested in your opinion on where we need players or what positions need to be up graded, i think we need a better keeper because mingolet does not seem to be progressing on his weak parts of his game, kickong being just one of them, i also think that skertal will go and maybe lucas, because i think Matip is a replacement for Toure,

whats for sure is that this summer its going to be a very important transfer window if the right players are brought in then i think we will have a great chance of getting in the top 4, i am not one of these fans who want a big name just for the sake of it, leicester have shown that a winning team does not need big name players but p;ayers that will fit into the system the manager wants to play in

one last thing klopp has bought 2 players in Matip and the midfielder and we have not payed over the odds for them which for me is a great sign of things to come, its about time we got a manager who knows how to work the transfer market.

{Ed002's Note - (a) The club is not and has not been looking for a replacement for Mignolet. This has been covered a lot already. (b) It would not be a surprise to see Skrtel leave - the club is overrun with centre backs. I don't know of any plan to sell Lucas - I suspect it would be a shock to him and his agent if they were asked to look for a new club at this time, but it is of course possible. (c) The owners have no "top 4" target - they want, and expect to win the league. This has been covered at length before. (d) I am not sure that Matip and Grujic will be representative of the summer spending - the owners will likely make yet another attempt to buy the league.

It is clear that Liverpool are continuing to look for an attacking wide player in addition to a goalkeeper and left back. Otherwise the have been looking pretty well across the board at players.

There will be quite a lot of disruption in the summer with players leaving to play in three separate tournaments. This should give Klipperty plenty of chance to look at some of the younger and fringe players.}

Great reply ed

In YOUR own opinion do you think we will move for Gotze? I've read what you have said about him but wanted your own thoughts please mate.

{Ed002's Note - I really don't know but I can assure you that there is no agreement at this time for him - as people kept suggesting there was. A surprise you will say after new owners taking over Liverpool a couple of weeks ago, but there you have it. Right now there have been a couple of changes with regards Goetze but these are entirely unrelated to Liverpool.}

Cannot see Skrtel staying either. Matip, Sakho, Lovren and Gomez will all be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Pretty sure the club will go all out to move on Balotelli and Benteke. Moving on these two player will lighten the wage bill considerably and the last thing we need is two players in the squad eating away at the wage bill and not even making the bench.

Cheers ed. Can i ask what changes there are please?

{Ed002's Note - They are unrelated to Liverpool.}

Hi Eds 002. In your reply to the original poster you say that FSG will 'attempt to buy the league' but isn't that what all wealthy teams do in all the football leagues all around the world? PSG, Man City, Chelsea, Man United, Bayern, Madrid, Barcelona, etc etc have spent astonishing amounts on transfers in past and recent history so I don't see your point? This is not a dig but a genuine attempt to understand your proclamation? We'd all like to do a Leicester and spend pennies and be winners but their model is not the norm and highly unlikely to be sustainable. Thanks in advance if you choose to reply.

{Ed002's Note - I think you will find that your quoted PSG, Man City, Chelsea, Man United, Bayern, Madrid and Barcelona have done well in their leagues. Tell me again why it is not an issue for Liverpool - share with us how many times the owners have successfully bought the league - I am not sure why you don't see my point. I have to be honest is is again pretty embarrassing to read your attempted deflection away from Liverpool to bring in everybody else. Abject failure all around and you are bleating about me. Sorry.}

My point Eds 002 is that teams in top leagues no matter what country they are in set out to try and buy the league/ success. Yes the previously mentioned teams are better at it than Liverpool but the crux is they all spend money. What are we supposed to do play the under 21's and not make any signings? I am incredulous at how you fail to see this? So it's ok for the others to spend money but when Liverpool spend indiscrinately, it's perceived as an 'attempt to buy the league'. Your rational is skewed and we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Your Herculean efforts on this site are wholeheartedly appreciated but when I feel your wrong I will pull you up on it, as you do me.

{Ed002's Note - My rationale is not screwed. Liverpool buying the league is, numerically, screwed. Deflecting simply makes it funny.}

13 Apr 2016 08:03:15
Brenda - the point is that buying the league is one thing, but trying to buy the league and failing to even win cups is just throwing away money. We've spent as much as anyone but 6 mid table finishes in 7 years to show for it, clearly it's not working.

13 Apr 2016 02:56:50
Fair play Eds 002 for replying to my previous post. And yes we probably spend beyond our means but if FSG feel it's sustainable who are we the fan base to argue? As Liverpool fans we don't have a Devine right to expect marquee signings but part of supporting this amazing club is that we know there will be big money transfers. The converse would be to become like Everton for example and be happy with top flight status year on year, produce a conveyer belt of kids, sign less expensive players and hope we get lucky and win a cup from time to time. Footballs a game of opinions and we obviously don't share the same one on this subject.

{Ed002's Note - FSG do not see it as sustainable - FSG see Liverpool as a money pit they keep throwing money at without getting the success they believe they should have by now. I don't think you understand about Everton either.}

I have to agree with Brenda here I'm afraid. Every team spends money in the transfer market. So at what point does it become 'trying to buy the league'?

£50mil £100mil per season? a bit of clarity on this would be helpful. In any case what people seem to be forgetting is only one team wins the league each season, so does that drop every other team that spent money into LFC's category of failing to buy the league that season?

I'm not defending our spending but feel this point needs clarifying Ed. Thanks for all the hard work on the site as well, even when we disagree, we all appreciate it!

{Ed002's Note - The Liverpool owners have spent well beyond what the club earns - which is why the club has as much debt as it does. They have been trying to buy the league and have completely failed at it. The other clubs Brenda listed have all been successful - Liverpool has not been. I am surprised this is so difficult for you to grasp.}

13 Apr 2016 14:06:45
So the answer is we curtail our spending and live within our means? that's not sexy at all. Who wants to be West Brom? No i'd rather do it the the QPR way and dance with the devil (tax man) under the pail moonlight. I appreciate I'm not an expert on fiscally running a football club like yourself EDS 002 but it doesent make my point invalid. Have a super day my friend.

13 Apr 2016 19:36:10
These types of conversations really have me starting to get on Edwin 2's side.

13 Apr 2016 23:57:43
Are you trying to sound stupid Brenda? Who in their right mind would mind would rather "do it the qpr way"? Every club should operate within its means, like arsenal. If every club did so the footballing landscape would be much prettier.

14 Apr 2016 09:19:23
Ed02 and brenda, precisely that's the reason owners have appointed klopp who is excellent in managing money. Besides there's huge TV money falling into coffers for all the PL clubs next year. Owners might not spend later if we have a decent squad already.

{Ed002's Note - Klopp has no fiscal responsibility whatsoever and as a coach he certainly was not appointed because he is "excellent in managing money". I assume you don't underswtand the concept of debt either.}

16 Apr 2016 12:06:11
Bit of a pointless debate. Every club spends money in the hope that they will be successful. If they didn't invest in the squad they wouldn't win anything would they. They have to start at the top and work their way down if they want success and now they have klopp the top is final right. we now have to invest in the right players. It's just a shame we wasted so much money in the past. YNWA.
