Hi eds,
Thanks for the shift you put in over the transfer window, I know some of us may come across as a pain lol I've tried the search function but no specific joy, was wondering would we start looking at Renato Sanches from Bayern as he's up for sale at nearly half the price of Kieta and he's only 19. Would be too much of a risk due to him not being able to settle in a different league/ country?
Many thanks
Henlow red.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has zero interest in Sanches and he is not for sale but available for a loan (due to certain complexities).}

Hi eds,
I've tried the search function but no joy, is there any truth in the rumours of young left back Luca Pellegrini being looked at by us?
Many thanks
Henlow red.
{Ed001's Note - I have no idea sorry.}
1.) 03 Jul 2017 22:13:42
I think it would be a good signing as a back up to Robertson. Hopefully the lad goes on to develop his game and become a star.
24 Apr 2017 15:06:40
Hi eds, just wondering if Real did come in for coutinho (which I doubt) would we look at taking Isco in the deal as a possibility or is that just my wishful thinking?
Many thanks
Henlow red.
{Ed001's Note - nope.}
1.) 24 Apr 2017 16:06:48
We have little chance of attracting players of his calibre Henlow let alone stumping up his wages.
2.) 24 Apr 2017 19:36:22
Calibre? He is pretty much at the same level as the likes of Tadic or even Khazri!
He is not this world class talent that the media would have you believe. Good player, but very over rated and certainly not too good for us!
3.) 25 Apr 2017 00:54:49
The first thing Couts. would be taught in Madrid is if there is contact on you in the box you go down. Make the ref make a decision
Not like on Sunday.
Its not proper but that's modern football.

Hi eds, keep hearing these Christian Pulisic rumours saying we are going to bid for him in January, surely he isn't coming to us as it just seems unrealistic to me. He's playing at Dortmund regularly but with Reus coming back from injury he might not play as much so why would he come to Liverpool and be in exactly the same position when Mane comes back from Africa in January and courinho back Dec/ Jan?
Many thanks
Henlow red.
{Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware there is no intention of making a bid for him in January and there would be almost zero chance of Dortmund accepting a bid for him anyway.}
1.) 30 Nov 2016 21:24:30
Thanks ed001, couldn't see Dortmund selling a young player with a lot of potential either.
{Ed001's Note - welcome mate.}
2.) 30 Nov 2016 23:06:17
Surely they won't do a gotze again and let him leave on a free next summer.
3.) 30 Nov 2016 23:56:44
He's not coming here as we already have players and youngsters like Ojo and Woodburn to step in if need be. Don't know what people want, really. On one hand, we want kids to be given a chance and on the other, spend 20m on another kid. Make up your minds!
4.) 30 Nov 2016 23:06:17
Surely they won't do a gotze again and let him leave on a free next summer.
5.) 01 Dec 2016 20:03:47
Umm Goetze didn't leave on a free. However Gotze didn't want to extend his contract so Dortmund were forced to sell him but not before squeezing a record price out of Bayern.
6.) 01 Dec 2016 23:48:25
Wrong, Phil and Reus as none of what you say is true, I'm sorry. Bayern triggered Gotze's release clause shortly before the CL final between BVB and Bayern and Gotze chose to leave, something the Dortmund fans and even Klopp, found to take. That's why he left Dortmund, and not due to contract negotiations or to him leaving on a free. Ed can correct me if I'm wrong.
{Ed002's Note - Bayern paid €37M for Goetze and Dortmund took him back for €22.25M.}

Hi eds,
Also just heard Gerrard is in advanced talks with Liverpool over a coaching role with the academy, not saying it's true but this is a rumour site after all.
Henlow red.
1.) 16 Nov 2016 22:34:45
Wow, has it been in the press at all? always wondered why people put news like this on this site, it may come as a surprise to these people, that if you have access to this site then you can pretty much guarantee that they have checked pretty well all the football news sites as well, apart from the radio news, Sky news etc.
2.) 17 Nov 2016 13:33:43
Maybe Henlow red heard this off a source close to the club or someone they know, who provides good information. or maybe we should flood your inbox so you can filter out what's been reported on. I hate moaning posts (as I write one) but your post John B has no point to it whatsoever.
3.) 17 Nov 2016 16:19:38
John, people come to this site to read a variety of rumors. I don't see the problem in posting a rumor? Is it too much for your eyes to just scroll past it?
{Ed025's Note - your spot on Tj..
4.) 17 Nov 2016 17:31:12
Its not just posting the rumour to share it, but to enable us the ability to discuss it too. If we don't post about stuff that's all over the press, how can we collectively rip it to pieces for being rubbish?
5.) 17 Nov 2016 19:09:02
Philosophical discussion aside (! ), BBC reporting he's in line as the new MK Dons manager (possibly player manager) . Interesting.
6.) 17 Nov 2016 19:53:10
I might be wrong Zeddicus but I doubt that Gerrard has all the badges and licences required to be a manager yet, like many internationals.
There was an article the other day proposing that Lampard and Gerrard should be fast tracked through their qualifications given their knowledhe of the game.
Eds, any idea on the coaching qualifications Gerrard holds?
{Ed001's Note - I think he has the B license, if I remember correctly.}
7.) 17 Nov 2016 23:00:32
I'm sure I read that he is very close to or has just finished the UEFA A, which means he can coach in the second tier and below.
8.) 21 Nov 2016 10:14:24
200k a week in china, Gerrard cares more about his own pocket.

Hi Ed's, hope you're all well, I've been reading here and there that Klopp is also investing in youth with players like Perr Schuurs and Kai Havertz being invited to Melwood which I think is great but with Bobby Duncan looking to leave Man City is there a reason we haven't been in the mix to try and sign him? He looks a top quality player for his age and he's a local lad which is always a positive.
Many thanks
Henlow red.
{Ed002's Note - I really cannot answer why clubs aren't interested in players.}
1.) 12 Nov 2017 15:02:24
Just trust Klopp Ok? Even if it means missing out on UCL, I am sure one if seasons we will win something under Klopp.
2.) 12 Nov 2017 15:14:36
Relax, was that tongue firmly in cheek mate, lol.
3.) 12 Nov 2017 19:21:17
LFC cannot be interested in every player under the sun. That is simply impossible.
4.) 13 Nov 2017 13:02:04
Don't worry, we're interested we're just not monitoring. However there is every chance that we'll drop a cheeky bid in for him. Sadly our prospects of just going out and getting it done are small, despite the fact that we're confident something can be done.
Any more platitudes required or can we leave it there?
04 Sep 2017 20:07:37
Hi eds, hope you're feeling a lot better now the window is shut lol I was just wondering with Liverpool signing 2 more CMs in Ox and Kieta, where does this leave Grujic? Will he get a chance or will he be eventually sold?
Many thanks
Henlow red.
{Ed002's Note - Grujic is in the fringe area for now. He is a player who clubs thought might step ahead and make a name for himself but remain at LFC on the fringes.}
1.) 05 Sep 2017 01:48:25
Not sure what Klopp saw in OX when he played against Dortmund that he wanted him so desparately.
Grujic has been rotting for 2 yrs now instead of playing regularly but it was his choice to come here.
Like the look of Grujic but feel he chose to move at the wrong time.
Cheers.

Surely showing ambition would mean selling Coutinho and buying someone like Isco or Dele Alli? Obviously this would never happen (although it would be nice lol) but showing ambition to me does not mean keeping a player who apparently doesn't want to play for Liverpool.
1.) 19 Aug 2017 11:01:23
Selling a star player with no definite replacement lined up is not showing ambition, it's showing rank stupidity.
2.) 19 Aug 2017 11:04:58
If we sell Coutinho for £120m, what do you think the notoriously tough negotiator Levy will want from us for Dele Alli with two weeks left in the window? £180m?
That's the problem. If we sell Coutinho now, we'll be fleeced for any replacement player we look for.
3.) 19 Aug 2017 11:03:34
Showing ambition would be keeping Coutinho and signing Dele Alli.
Ambition is holding on to your best player at all costs and making him see sense as the season goes on after he realises the wreckage that Barcelona are slowly going to become.
Ambition is signing the best young English player around for an astronomical figure coz he will be in it for the long haul and will improve our squad and make it one of the best in the league.
4.) 19 Aug 2017 11:19:30
There's no way we should keep a player who doesn't want to be here.
Take the money. We will buy somebody before the window shuts. Someone who wants to be at Anfield.
The lads head has been turned now, let him go.
5.) 19 Aug 2017 11:33:06
Can't believe the only talk is about Coutinho leaving and the only news about incomings is news from June and continuesly the same talk . We made no effort in January and come the summer it's just as bad if not worse/ embarrassing. If Klopp is happy with this squad especially with possible champions league himself and the club need to give their heads a big wobble. The bench is so weak so an injury to any of the 1st team we will b screwed. Another rant over😩😩.
6.) 19 Aug 2017 11:33:48
So we should let him go even though the offer is not good enough in the current market just because we shouldn't keep players that don't want to be here as a matter of principle?
If Barcelona only offered £20m, should we let him go for that because he "doesn't want to be here. "
Give me strength.
7.) 19 Aug 2017 11:47:50
Wait till window closes before you rant a lot will happen in 12 days .
8.) 19 Aug 2017 11:53:09
Have any of you actually read how the bid was reportedly structured? Doubt you'd be saying all this let him go crap (if true) . we'd be basically selling him for 20m.
9.) 19 Aug 2017 12:02:27
That's exactly it isn't it? If they really want him then pay up. If not then stop wasting our time. I'd be communicating all of these derisory offers to Coutinho to show just how much they do want him! Not much if the latest offer is anything to go by.
10.) 19 Aug 2017 12:03:02
I have not mentioned money have I.
And neither have the Owners, so why go on the attack about money.
The player as put in a request to leave. It's my opinion that we should sell him and let him go, if the club decide the offer is not enough then they tell the player that's why they are not selling him.
I will pray for you to become strong brother and not to be so Angry, and not to put misleading suggestions into fellow supporters post.
11.) 19 Aug 2017 12:12:24
You made no mention of the offer needing to be good enough in your first post, you just said he should be let go. That's why I pointed out that the offer needs to be good enough, which it clearly isn't.
I'm glad you've now realised that the offer needs to be good enough for the club to let the player go.
And you shouldn't pray, the only God that's real is Robbie Fowler.
12.) 19 Aug 2017 12:18:11
The club haven't said they are not selling because the offer isn't what they deem enough.
Don't put words into my post.
I would take the money I didn't say how much.
My point is i think the lad should be sold if he wants to go.
Let the owners decide a price.
Don't attack me over the fact imo I wouldn't force someone to stay.
13.) 19 Aug 2017 12:30:21
Fin, but you clearly say 'take the money'. people are just rightly explaining that the money offered isn't enough, so the policy you have of take the money even though it's not deemed enough by the owners is silly, if we sell him it's at a figure we are happy with, regardless of how coutinho feels. You can't just be like, oh player wants to leave, bye bye and we will take whatever money is offered to us. Such a small club mentality.
14.) 19 Aug 2017 12:30:35
Of course they haven't said the only reason they're not selling is because of money, that would weaken their negotiating position.
15.) 19 Aug 2017 12:44:24
well if you're fine with just letting him go because he handed in a transfer request why not just rip up the contract?
because the offer matters.
16.) 19 Aug 2017 13:02:39
We probably will let him go if the offer is good enough, and so far none have been good enough.
So there is no point moaning about us keeping him against his will because that isn’t the case.
Just because us fans are saying keep him doesn't mean squat. Its up to the owners and Klopp at the end of the day and if they feel an offer is good enough he will leave, if not he will stay and it isn’t because we "forced him to stay against his will"
{Ed002's Note - It is nothing whatsoever to do with the owners. The club takes the decision.}
13 Aug 2017 15:00:50
Hi eds, just seen Coutinho picture being taken down in the club shop window, if it's not a hoax then it doesn't look good.
{Ed002's Note - If you have just seen it why do you think it may be a hoax?}
1.) 13 Aug 2017 15:02:55
Smokescreen.
{Ed002's Note - That is far more likely.}
2.) 13 Aug 2017 15:03:04
Relax, they were removing all the orange away shirt promotions to install Autumn fashion promotions for Monday.
3.) 13 Aug 2017 16:53:29
then its tuesday that his photos and stuff will be taken down, Barcelona will offer us a offer that we can't refuse, just take the money and hopefully spend it all on players, we need another three players fast .
13 Aug 2017 00:19:11
Hi eds, hope you're all good, just seen that Barcelona are willing to pay £100M plus Gomes and Rafinha for Coutinho, this is probably a load of crap but I would let him go for a deal like that as he clearly doesn't want to be at Liverpool any more, just out of interest are these 2 players any good? Obviously they're not that good if they being offered or am I wrong?
Many thanks
Henlow red.
{Ed002's Note - Perhaps is the best I can call.}
1.) 13 Aug 2017 03:19:16
They have been slagged a lot on here Henlow red. Rahifina and gomes I mean. 100 mil and those two? We should take that. We know what klopp does, he doesn't buy his own team, he moulds it. He has made some of our guys much better than I ever expected.
I'd rather have two league 2 journeymen that wanted to be here over 1 Brazilian who didn't. Shame, I don't think it's Phil, I reckon it's the advisors, family, agents. Still, the damage is done.
2.) 13 Aug 2017 04:43:21
So we should over load a bloated squad with two more passenger is it Superred91? Are u implying we should bend the knee to Barcelona and Coutinho? Don't we have enough average players already at the club that all the Klopp apologists are waiting for him to "mould" into world class players?
{Ed001's Note - apologists? He clearly does improve attacking players, so nothing apologist about it to say that.
As for those two players, we don't want or need either, so it would be utterly idiotic to bring them in and be saddled with their wages. Better to get more cash and actually buy what we need, ie defenders who can defend.}
3.) 13 Aug 2017 05:32:27
Read my post carefully Ed001. I don't want either Gomes or Rafinha at LFC. Get as much cash as possible for Coutinho and sign the players Klopp wants now (Keita and VVD) or LFC are in for a long long winter. As far as "defenders who can defend", there are not many out there who would be willing to join us so if we can get VVD, I'd be pleased.
{Ed001's Note - I never said you did, I was replying to the original post with that. Perhaps you should stop assuming, I deliberately started a new paragraph to show it was not aimed at you.}
4.) 13 Aug 2017 06:44:12
Ah my bad Ed001.
{Ed001's Note - no worries mate. I probably should have said at some point that it was meant to be in agreement with you.}
5.) 13 Aug 2017 07:52:21
We don't want nor need their dross players.
6.) 13 Aug 2017 11:04:00
Ed01, surely he should have improved at least one defender in his two seasons here?
{Ed001's Note - Moreno has improved, so there is your one.}
06 Oct 2017 19:18:48
I would genuinely rather have our U18s coach play in our defence right now, at least he would be switched on and get stuck in and play for the shirt. I’m not saying this would happen at all but it tells a story when Gerrard the youth team coach is the best player out of the whole defence probably still now lol.
08 Mar 2017 21:46:35
All this about Lahm when Paulo Maldini was the greatest left back of all time and he is in fact right footed and he wasn't even mentioned.
22 Dec 2016 19:33:16
We should buy wilshere too so he's got someone to talk to on the treatment table.
30 Nov 2016 21:24:30
Thanks ed001, couldn't see Dortmund selling a young player with a lot of potential either.
{Ed001's Note - welcome mate.}
06 Nov 2015 23:28:03
I had the same from him, my family know him and his dad terry quite well and said he's a sound lad but whenever I've met him (not through family) he's been an ignorant bell end.
