According to Egyptian colleagues here in Abu Dhabi, Liverpool are supposedly interested I the Egyptian international forward Mohammad Saleh who currently plays for FCC Basel and scored against Spurs and Chelsea in theChampions League. Plays up front for Egypt and left wing for Basel. Apparently this is being reported in the Egyptian press

Eds,
I wonder if you can offer any thoughts regarding Liverpool's repeated struggles in developing and particularly purchasing talented players to strengthen the first team and match day squad. Other than Suarez, Sturridge and Coutinho we have had relatively few successful purchases in recent years (it is maybe too soon to make judgements on the likes of Firmino at this time who appears to be coming into form recently) . My understanding is that FSG requested a review to be conducted last year regarding how the club operates. As an interested supporter it appears to me (and I may be wrong) that we struggle to recruit talented players that are suited to our desired playing style at the right price (ie we over paid for Firmino by all accounts even if he does meet other requirements) . This can only be creating further damage to the already challenging financial circumstances the club has been in over recent years as we are not getting the desired 'bang for our buck'. I would have expected the review to have highlighted deficiencies in this area and recommended measures to overcome them.
Do you believe that the club has an issue in this regard?
Do you believe that the club recognizes that it has an issue that needs to be solved?
Are you aware of any steps that are being taken by the club to resolve such issues?
It seems to be that we keep repeating similar mistakes which is concerning and needs to stop.
{Ed002's Note - (a) Liverpool has done very well with regards to getting the players the club wants. So I do not see any issue. (2) I doubt that the club sees it is an issue. (3) There is no issue.}

Thanks for the response Ed002.
There appears to be an issue to me, but of course I am not the club and this may only 'appear' to be the case.
I guess the crux of my perceived issue is really down to the scouting team and identification of types of players or actual individual players that the club perceives will strengthen its playing staff and help the club to achieve its goals and objectives.
From my external and concerned supporter viewpoint there appears to be a disconnect, yet from your response it seems that the club is relatively happy with how it is conducting its business. I would have thought that at some point somebody within LFC must sit down and look at the amount of money that has been pumped into transfer dealings over the past few years and try to analyse whether results on the pitch and in competitions have provided an appropriate return on the investment made. If it is identified that this is not the case then there is an issue to be tackled.
{Ed002's Note - (a) Liverpool has already made extensive changes to the scouting system and they are not going to do so again. (b) The club has failed in all attempts to but success and that is one of the reasons the club has such significant debt.}

An approach by LFC is being reported on BBC.
Take that for what you will.

Klopp might be creating a smokescreen. We haven't had one of them yet this window.

I had a whole £2:50 on Liverpool to beat Watford 6-1 @ 50:1. Last of the big spenders.

I use the FootballCal app:
goo.gl/cgqsJV
It is free to download and then you pay to but the calendars you want. I can't remember the costs but about £1.50 to buy the LFC calendar. All fixtures go into your calendar and automatically update as fixtures get moved later in the season. Team sheet added when released an hour before kick-off and you can look back at earlier fixtures and see scores, scorers, line-ups etc.
I have no affiliation but used it last season for the first time and have already bought the 16/ 17 calendar.

I'm sure that there are lots of very regular readers of this site who like me very rarely post. I read this site every day, generally several times each day because of the high quality information that the Eds provide, especially Ed01 and Ed02. Unfortunately there are plenty of idiots here too; I just ignore their rubbish and wait for the next quality tidbit!
Keep up the good work guys and my sincere thanks for all your efforts.

I haven't read many of the posts following the final and it appears I should not waste my time doing so.
I thought the live chat was a great idea but found that there was too much negativity and abuse of players there for my liking, plus I struggled to keep up with it and focus on the footie.
A win would have been great for confidence but the team needs support from us now to see us through to the end of the season when we hopefully will strengthen key areas give the players a rest and the allow Klopp a good pre-season with the boys. Onwards and upwards!
