After the club rejected this latest offer from Barcelona, and after Phillipe and his agent have courted them for a year, have we come to the point where PC is going to have to hand in a transfer request to get it done? It would appear to me that's where it may be headed.
1.) 10 Aug 2017 12:06:11
The figures are getting ridiculous. To put this into context the main stand and surrounding stadium work £115m the price to develop anfield road £60-£70m. Given our well reported financial problems on here, what is best? If keita was to come then the plan would have been to sell PC, do the sums, with Salah mana and bobby it's to attacking. a more combative middle with bobby behind sturridge or solanke makes more sense.
2.) 10 Aug 2017 12:21:58
I don't think we must sell to buy right now. Our expenditure on transfers has been good the last two years.
Added with the fact that we finished higher in the league this year, enabling us to get more competition money, as well that we will earn more by being in the champions league. And not to mention the premier league TV deal.
Through all these factors I think we are able to buy VVD and Keita without selling Pipco. We just need to lower expectations for Sakho, Markovic, Moreno and anyone else who we are intending to sell.
3.) 10 Aug 2017 12:42:02
Getting Mo Salah, Solanke and Andy Robertson for around £50 million is excellent business. If we can sell Sakho and Markovic for say £35million even better.
Hopefully there'll be plenty left in the pot for Keita and Van Dijk . 😀.
4.) 10 Aug 2017 13:43:31
Even in this inflated market there is absolutely no way that we will get anything close to 35 million for Sakho and Markovic.
5.) 10 Aug 2017 14:25:49
I don't think 20 for Sakho and 10 for Marko is that crazy?
In fact I think if we had been more reasonable with Stoke we may have got something around that for Sakho.
Perhaps a loan to buy is the best we can hope for now.
6.) 10 Aug 2017 14:36:52
I doubt he will hand in a TR. He is too good and loyal. It's shame we never won anything with him and this piss poor defense means we won't anything!
7.) 10 Aug 2017 18:49:29
"Well reported financial problems"? Crap you make up in your head is not the definition of well reported. The club has no financial problems.
11 Jan 2016 10:44:54
Hi Eds, I know you guy's dealt with the Pato stuff last week, but a lot of people today on the official LFC forums are talking about a done deal for Pato. Has there been a change to what you guys said last week? Thanks in advance.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any "done deal" but if the official club forum has announced it is then the club would not say that unless the player had obtained a work permit after passing his medical and agreeing personal terms and the club had agreed and paid the fee to Corinthians and the fee to the third party owners and the six representatives who need paying off.}
1.) 11 Jan 2016 11:11:45
Sorry Ed, I didn't word that correctly, I should have written that fans are talking about it on the forums, there isn't an official announcement from the club. But as for your response I understand what you mean.
2.) 11 Jan 2016 13:08:43
Hey bris, just posted on rumours but a few days ago it was on fox sports and Aus ESPN, it's now on BBC and a few other LFC and media sites. Done deal for 11 million Pound.
{Ed002's Note - There you go, apparently (according to the poster) Liverpool and the BBC say it is a "done deal".}
3.) 11 Jan 2016 13:17:10
I'm hoping it's not true, and honestly believed that when it was reported in the Aus media on Saturday, really worried now that it's being reported elsewhere, BBC alerts are generally spot on with there info but I'm praying this is one of the ones they are getting wrong.
4.) 11 Jan 2016 14:09:24
The BBC are NOT reporting it. It is just in their Monday Gossip section where they reference the Star.
If there is any truth to it I really hope it's a loan and not 11 million as suggested. We don't need another big Balotelli ballsup.
5.) 11 Jan 2016 15:11:59
"My private advice to you is don't follow the Pato path any longer. "
Thanks Jurgen. Moving on.
{Ed002's Note - Maybe the club have not told Klipperty it is a "done deal"?}
6.) 11 Jan 2016 18:23:30
Maybe jurgen can't pronounce the word patio?
7.) 12 Jan 2016 08:57:25
Pato means duck in Spanish, maybe he was just telling the journos not to go down the path with ducks on it.

Forget Bellingham. Buy Gvardiol instead. Agree with Ed001, Keep Konate and Phillips, lose Matip and Gomez.
Move Salah on this summer. Buy Nico Williams to replace. Ben Doak to back up Williams.
Sell Fabinho. Buy Manu Kone. Bajcetic to be the back up.
1.) 22 Feb 2023 11:48:50
Who is going to want to buy the fallible and injury prone Gomez. Yes he maybe fast but that is about it.
Phillips is slow but he is a good solid centre back who knows how to hold a line (unlike Gomez) doesn’t make stupid challenges on the edge f the box (unlike Gomez) and never turns his back on the ball … plus he wins everything in the air, something we are lacking so badly at the moment.
And please stop playing the high line. It’s killing us!
2.) 22 Feb 2023 13:09:32
What’s the obsession with Phillips he’s been useless when he played Palace and City this season Bournemouth didn’t bother keeping him when they came up because they needed better to stay up. He‘a not premier league standard.
3.) 22 Feb 2023 13:56:23
Why would Phillips want to stay when Matip and Gomez have been dross this season and he still never gets a game?
4.) 22 Feb 2023 14:35:33
The conversation about Nat Phillips is bizarre.
We can't even find a club that will pay £12m for him. That should be enough of an indicator of his quality. He's a championship defender.
For example, we play two bottom half PL teams next - Palace and Wolves. Phillips wouldn't get into either of those teams ahead of Andersen, Guehi, Kilman and Collins.
Good lad is Nat, big heart. But come on, really.
15 Jan 2023 13:32:45
Is Klopp's time at Liverpool fast coming to an end?
I've noticed an eerily similar pattern that virtually mirrors his time at Dortmund which came to an end, and very abruptly, with his team seemingly falling off the cliff.
A bit of a slow build up when he first takes over, builds up to some league titles, I think he's at least one short here at Liverpool of where he should be, some runner up positions secured, some Cup wins, followed by a fall of the cliff where at Dortmund in his final season, the team's wins halved and his team's losses doubled. The pattern is repeating itself.
Personally, I think this team is finished as to what it was, I think the manager himself knows it, hence whatever he's allowed Pep to do to it, I think we need to sell some key players starting with Salah and VVD and rebuild under a new manager.
Just my take on where I think this team is at. Time to rebuild it, we've already fallen well behind. Others will disagree, but that's cool.
1.) 15 Jan 2023 14:10:43
Assuming your premise that "we are falling off a cliff" is correct and accurate, don't you wish to have a look forward and see who the replacement for Klopp can or will be? Do you really think that there are that many of Klopp's level out there to do and achieve whatever he has done and achieved with us?
This is why for so many of us Klopp is "untouchable" and we're ready to see the entire slate wiped clean, but he must stay (despite all his failings which we discuss from time to time) .
2.) 15 Jan 2023 14:24:50
I don't think it is anything like Dortmund at all. At Dortmund, Klopp was continuously losing his best players to his main rivals. Liverpool haven't lost a player to rival since Sterling to City. I also don't think Klopp had as much power as he had in transfers at Dortmund as he appears to have at Liverpool right now.
As always, the answer is more nuanced.
We are clearly in the middle of a rebuild. The forward line has completely transformed in the last two years. The defensive transformation has also started with Konate coming in with probably another in the summer if Matip/ Gomez are moved on/ choose to move on. The midfield seems to be the real issue. Partly because we have a midfield mix that doesn't suit our old style or this new one we're trying to implement and partly because Klopp is happy to wait for the midfield unicorns at the expense of the now.
And to add to the nuance, there's questions as to what this new style is and whether it is the right thing to do or not.
I have my reservations about this new style we are trying to adopt. The Premier League is unforgiving and more athletic sides will run around you, through you or over you if you are not up to it no matter how skilful you are. Don't underestimate City's physicality by the way. Bernardo might be small but he's a beast and can mix it in any midfield. KDB, Gundogan too.
I also have my reservations about giving Klopp and his man Lijnders too much power in recruitment without there being data to support decisions. I hope that is not the case as it is again moving away from what brought us success in the past.
Lastly, I really hope Reuben Neves rumours are not true. If they are then we really are being run by Pep Lijnders.
3.) 15 Jan 2023 14:57:06
That Borussia Dortmund team finished the season by winning 9 of their last 14 league games so I look forward to that happening this season for us.
4.) 15 Jan 2023 14:59:44
The test of a really great manager is the ability to build another team and go again. We did that in the past, Fergie did it and I think Klopp has more than earned the opportunity to do it. He needs to do it himself though, and knock Lijnders down a peg or three. Because whatever they’re doing now is not working, and I personally I don’t think it ever will.
5.) 15 Jan 2023 16:05:27
Something needs to change, as recent performances are shocking. As bad as anything under Hodgson and latter of Rodgers career as Liverpool manager.
16 Jun 2018 06:56:59
Can someone please explain to me how De Gea's howler suddenly turned into open season and slating on Karius again? Some of the stuff I have read over the last few pages is nothing short of embarrassing. I fully understand Ed002's low opinion on the type of fans many Liverpool supporters seem to be.
1.) 16 Jun 2018 08:25:45
Agreed Brisbane it's getting daft, again. All I'm going to say is, Karius IN! . If he's going to be our number 1 next season which I fully expect, he needs our support. He gets mine, good luck to the lad.
2.) 16 Jun 2018 08:38:35
Agreed salah! As I keep saying, if he works hard on his concentration and distribution we could have a top keeper in karius.
3.) 16 Jun 2018 08:53:24
As one who had fun with DDG making two mistakes (he was partly to blame for that free kick as his wall placement and positioning that cost Spain the points, what I for me, was saying was that the "experts" on these boards have a knack of making such sweeping, illogical statements like "DDG would never have made the mistakes Karius made vs RM' or "A top class GK does not make those Karius mistakes in a big game". That was royally debunked last night and the "experts" can't deal with this "stunning" realization so what did they do? They deflect. "So are you saying Karius is better than DDG" or "If you think Karius is good enough then you are dreaming", blah, blah, blah as if hat is the point of the debate which it is not and never was. Hence, the Karius bashing. The fact of the matter that they can't come to terms with is that Show me a GK who has never made a mistake and I will show you one who has never played a game in his life. DDG is prone to mistakes just like Karius is, FACT.
4.) 16 Jun 2018 09:04:15
Bang right salah at end of day we are supporters and that's what we need to do support our players instead of critizing and putting them down.
One thing is for sure if he is still our number1 next season and the games I go to I will certainly be singing his name and will give him and klopp 100% backing.
5.) 16 Jun 2018 10:31:32
The thing is De Gea has earnt the right to make a mistake after years of being the best keeper in the prem. Karius has looked ropey throughout his Liverpool career and made 2 huge mistakes not 1.
I didn’t want Karius is goal next season prior to the final, like a lot of fans, the final just verified my thoughts. Pro Karius fans seem to be putting them both at the same level after yesterday which is ludicrous, Have you ever watched a game and thought without Karius we wouldn’t have got a result? I can’t off the top of my head, Utd fans regularally feel this with DDG.
I’m not trying to slag Karius off I’m just reacting to fans who now think Karius is now an adequate keeper because DDG made a mistake.
6.) 16 Jun 2018 11:02:26
Completely agree Cobra666 exactly what I was trying to say last night on here. I will support Karius if Klopp decides to keep him as I am not a fickle fan and would love a success story but would rather Klopp pushed for a solid keeper. This reacting to DDG mistake or mistakes he made last night is slightly embarrassing as DDG has for many years been the best keeper in the league, arguably best keeper in the world and is human and entitled to the odd mistake here and there, that is why I never judge Karius on just the Champions League final but on how he has been since he joined.
7.) 16 Jun 2018 11:14:50
I think some people on this forum like to hold onto any glimmer of hope they have that Karius is "the one" so they try to make something out of another keepers error who has been by far the best PL keeper in years. Cobra666 first comments are correct for me.
8.) 16 Jun 2018 12:31:10
Irish Rover and Gobra666, I am not saying any of that and again, both of you fail to address the salient point being made here so again, you are deflecting. Someone said DDG has earned the right to make the mistakes he made. And how long did it take him to be great? Was it over 50 games like Karius or over 200 plus during which FErgie was so lost that the senior players had to be consulted on what to do with DDG (Source: Rio Ferdinand)? Either way, that is not the point here.
News flash: He STILL made mistakes that cost Spain, end of story. This convo was for those who kept spouting that nonsense that (A GK can never make mistakes". Moral of the story? EVERY GK makes mistakes. DDG's mistakes debunked That is what is being addressed here, and not the non-argument of "So Karius is now better than DDG" or "Some are still hoping for him to be the one. Those are conversations no one is having but you. I for one, am not saying that neither am I bothered as that is for Klopp to decide.
9.) 16 Jun 2018 14:18:51
BRover, what you're not recognising is that some mistakes are more serious and can have career-changing consequences.
Mention Peter Bonetti to any England fan and there will probably be a little sigh before mentioning the World Cup 1970.
It was also his last ever England cap.
He was a very good keeper, and played on for his club sides for years afterwards but never got another international appearance.
If Karius drops a few bloopers, particularly if they cost Liverpool points, he's going to be hard-pressed to recover.
How can you have Salah at one end, and a problem at the other?
10.) 17 Jun 2018 15:30:36
Don't care who played what and when. Karius isn't good enough and there will be a media circus surrounding him next season with everyone waiting for his next mistake, it's unfair on the lad, and he'll totally damage his carrer if he stays with us, how can someone develop under that much scrutiny and pressure. Thank him for trying but for us and himself he needs to rebuild his carrer elsewhere. Oh and hendos brother, were not supporters were customers.
11.) 17 Jun 2018 15:35:27
I don’t think anyone is slating Karius, it’s called an open discussion, the summer is the time to discuss these things. If Karius is our number 1 when the season starts I will support him but until that time I will continue to advocate for a new goalkeeper.
27 May 2018 07:23:40
I have to say that I am embarrassed and disgusted at the vile abuse and bile being directed to Karius from so called Liverpool supporters. The death threats towards him and the wishes from supporters that his children get cancer are appalling and beyond words. So much for You'll Never Walk Alone. I am embarrassed that some of our supporters think like this.
1.) 27 May 2018 07:43:28

2.) 27 May 2018 09:10:54
Your one of the good guys BrisbaneLFC, nice one mate. Completely agree.
02 Feb 2016 13:12:04
Ed's, what role would Jurgen Klopp have in the money a transfer would cost for a player he may want. Using Teixeira as an example, would he say something like, I like this player, would like him to come here but don't pay anymore than 30 mil for him because he isn't worth more than that. Or is it more the case he says I like the player and its up to Ayre or whomever to deal with the transfer fees etc? Thanks in advance.
{Ed002's Note - No, Klopp would not be assigning values to players. He may be part of a discussion on how much the club bid but that is all.}
1.) 02 Feb 2016 14:38:53
Shock, horror Ed2, are you saying that it wasn't Rogers fault that Lfc paid too much for the likes of Baloteli, Firminio Allen etc etc, if he had no say in how much to bid.
{Ed002's Note - The money is not, and never has been, the responsibility of the manager.}
2.) 02 Feb 2016 15:25:41
He`s already said we will not spend money we don`t have nor for the sake of it. That`s his input right there.
22 Jan 2024 07:49:04
Livebird031, Everyone is replaceable. Salah included. He's just a football player.

29 Aug 2023 09:24:44
Westwood are we really still talking about Joe Gomez and his 'potential"? He's 26 already. He'll never be anything other than a squad player. At Liverpool anyway. He might be a regular in The Championship or League 1.
28 Aug 2023 09:27:42
Faithworks,
Ange has won at least one title at every club he has coached at. South Melbourne, Brisbane Roar, Melbourne Victory, Yokohama F Marinos, Celtic. He continues to defy his naysayers who say he can't coach.
17 mar 2023 06:51:02
ed025, agree with you. fullbacks should be able to defend. taa is a wingback, not a fullback. best wingback in the pl. as a fullback he's bang ordinary.
{Ed025's Note - for me Brisbane a wingback is just a fullback with ideas of grandeur mate. A bit like a defensive centre forward. But I am a bit of a dinosaur I suppose ?..
13 Sep 2023 09:21:58
Without an end product, he'll quickly find himself in League 1.
29 Aug 2023 09:30:35
Sorry, The ScouseHouse, must have missed that masterclass from Klopp. Not really sure how what happened equals a Klopp " Masterclass"
28 Aug 2023 09:33:15
Jesus Christ Reaper. How about we give him a chance to gell with the team and learn the game plan. The endless potting of players after 60 minutes of games time is ridiculous.
28 Aug 2023 09:30:28
Darwin should be starting, Its completely ridiculous he isnt.
13 Feb 2023 11:34:48
Beckers Pecker, even though VVD was Klopp's target, Klopp and LFC had no choice but to spend up big on him after he illegally tapped up Southampton's player. Something that Klopp has done time and time again as Liverpool manager.
