Hi Eds,

Who do you see being sold in the summer?

Salah to Saudi for hig money
Diaz because he's tweaking for Barca

Do you see Nunez being soldnas he's diabolical in front on goal?

{Ed002's Note - Perhaps something like this:
Marcelo Pitaluga (G) Needs to consider his future or bide his time at Liverpool. Struggling in the League of Ireland.
Caoimhín Kelleher (G) Decision time for the player and Wolves may try to tempt him after some scouting. Celtic have spoken with his representative.
Vitezslav Jaros (G) Having a good loan at Sturm Graz and perhaps an option to take over as number two but he may want more game time.
Adrian (G) Out of contract in the summer and will depart.
Anderson Arroyo (RB) Time to move on. Zero chance at Liverpool after seven loans in five years.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (RB/RWB/RM) Seen by Real Madrid as an option to Reece James. May offer an exchange for Rodrygo Goes or could try and persuade the player's agent to have their client run down his contract.
Kostas Tsimikas (LB) Agent previously said he was being forced out of the club to raise €20M or more. Since then it has been quiet and I am not aware of any approaches.
Nat Phillips (CB) Time to move on come the summer.
Sepp van den Berg (CB) He won't get a chance at Liverpool and will likely be sold in the summer to taise funds - could be a mistake by the club. There is no option to buy for Mainz.
Billy Koumetio (CB) Seemingly not worked out. Basel may offer a route away from Liverpool.
Joel Matip (CB) Time has come in my view and Besiktas would like to take him but his agent suggests he will be offered a contract extension. Saudi PL may offer a solution.
Joe Gomez (CB) Agent is talking to Michael Emanalo but I doubt Liverpool will want anymore HG players to leave.
Virgil van Dijk (CB) I am told that van Dijk's agents have said that had approaches from both Real Madrid and Barcelona. Real Madrid see VvD as a low cost solution in terms of transfer fee but need to make space in the wage structure. Barcelona offer an option but will need to agree sales first. At this point in time it will be very general enquiries only and I doubt either club will move for him.
Rhys Williams (CB) Will need to find a new home which will likely mean dropping down a tier.
Bobby Clark (CM) Loan possible.
Curtis Jones (CM) Getting more game time. Liverpool will not sell.
Thiago Alcantara (CM) His representatives have spoken to Barcelona about the player finishing his career back at the club but he would need to have reduced wages. Seems unlikely. Galatasaray or Flamengo may offer an option - else it will need to be the ME. Out of contract.
Fabio Carvalho (AM/LW) Available.
Kaide Gordan (W) At the behest of his agent Birmingham City have again asked for a loan, perhaps with an option to buy. Seems to have no future at Liverpool and such a move would be good for the player.
Mateusz Musialowski (RW) Out of contract in the summer. Another Liverpool player that Birmingham has an interest in. Basel and Leeds offer options.
Diogo Jota (LW) With the addition of Gakpo and Diaz performing well, Jota may just be sacrificed to bring in much needed funds. I am not aware of any interest just yet but JM will be looking for suiters. I am not aware of any approach from Newcastle and whilst his father speaks of Barcelona, such a move seems very unlikely give there other plans.
Luis Diaz (LW) Could be surplus. His agent already has one player in the Saudi league and has been offering another high profile player he has - so he may well be looking at Diaz as well given Liverpool are well stocked in the position. Al-Hillal may offer a solution. Liverpool will likely resist a deal but could look to a deal with Barcelona if they are serious about Raphinha. Using him in part exchange for another may be possible. Thoughts that PSG want him as an Mbappe replacement seem wide of the mark to me given they have very clear targets already, but his agent has approached PSG - but no more than that. Father says he wants to move to Spain.
Mo Salah (RW) His agent is hawking him around for one last big payday - Saudi Pro League with the support of Michael Emenalo would certainly seem the most likely destination with Al-Ittihad. Liverpool will look to try and do something to have him extend but his agent will look for a significant increase in salary.

I wonder how big a clear-out will happen once Klopp and his alleged loyalty to certain players is gone.

2.) 13 Apr 2024 15:29:01
Wow thanks Ed002.

So Allison, Mac Allister and Nunez are staying ?.

3.) 13 Apr 2024 21:26:23
Strange Gordon seen as having no future. Been injured for two years so can't be unhappy about game time. back building his fitness with the 21's and doing well, scored a cracker against Utd lastnight.

4.) 13 Apr 2024 18:45:21
Seen a rumour linking us with Inacio, Edwards and Grimaldo, any likeliness of these coming off.

{Ed002's Note - Goncalo Inacio (CB) Watched by scouts from a number of PL sides, including Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United, with each declaring an interest. Sporting will not be keen to do business with Liverpool although the club could potentially arrange to pay his full Release Clause in a single payment and force the situation if the player is interested - and that seems a strong possibility. The other sides to declare an interest are Newcastle and PSG, but PSG have a plan over another player but it is looking unlikely he will join - so Inacio might become the focus. Real Madrid offer a wildcard option. Sporting would rather not sell and are looking to a further new contract and an increased release clause. Newcastle have held talks with Sporting in order to be able to speak directly to the player and to understand if there is flexibility in the payment schedule – but there isn't. Arsenal interest would have departed with the signing of Timber although it has returned with the injury to Timber and impending departures. They are actively seeking talks with Sporting. The player has also been offered to Chelsea by his agent when discussing another player, but they have preferred options for a long-term Silva replacement although do have an interest in Inacio's CB partner Diomande. Arsenal have made a tentative offer that has been rejected. The player's agent has also said that Inacio is open to a move to Manchester United and they may push depending on departures.
Alejandro Grimaldo (LWB) No intention of leaving Bayer Leverkusen having rejected Manchester City and Leeds. Bayern Munich have the player on a short list of options to replace Alphonso Davies.
Marcus Edwards (RW/AM) Spurs would like to re-sign the player they let leave for Guimaraes and there is interest from West Ham, but that will go nowhere. Crystal Palace have a declared interest. Discussed with Chelsea on an informal basis and on the list of RW/AM players Chelsea need - but they have a preferred options. Could prove a suitable Salah replacement for Liverpool but Sporting may still have no interest in dealing with Liverpool and they have preferred options, but with a change of coach that may change. Manchester United see him as a potential addition and have declared an interest - but much will depend on what happens in the summer with the coach. Sporting has no interest in selling and would demand his full release clause in a single payment.}

Ed, you think Musialowski won't be offered to stay, or is he wanting to leave? I thought he was very highly thought of.

I'd personally prefer Jota over Gakpo, I just think he's a much better finisher. Although he gets injured quite a bit. Gakpo seems quite good with injuries.

{Ed002's Note - I am told that Mateusz Musialowski is very well thought of but as we stand right now he is out of contract in the summer and not getting game time.}

6.) 14 Apr 2024 13:06:41
He seemed to not grow up and head down, I hope it works out for him somewhere as looked talented at a young age.

28 May 2017 00:05:16
Eds are we interested in kolasinac at all? Considering we have Moreno who's on his way out and Milner, surely a good young natural Lb who was in the bundesliga team of the year who's available on a free makes sense?

{Ed002's Note - He is joining Arsenal.}

Ed's, if liverpool successfully sell their deadwood I. e origi, wilson, karius, grujic, do you then see them bringing in another signing?

{Ed002's Note - I had no idea Liverpool had deadwood to sell, but no doubt the payers seen as World Class by Liverpool fans are now Dead Wood. I am not the best person to ask about this.}

1.) 21 Sep 2020 01:58:19
Origi and deadwood are not two words that go together for me. Unless he's watching hbo.

2.) 21 Sep 2020 02:00:00
Personally I don't see us bringing anybody else in and I'm fine with that, I think overall we've had a great transfer window.

3.) 21 Sep 2020 03:49:12
Your post is deadwood!

4.) 21 Sep 2020 05:18:52
Describing Liverpool players, any players as Deadwood, should be an automatic red card. Imo.

5.) 21 Sep 2020 07:59:50
Deadwood? Show some class. Any of the players you've named have already achieved more in their young lives then you ever likely will. No wonder the eds are getting feed up with that sort of rubbish.

6.) 21 Sep 2020 08:01:24
There are very obviously some new posters on this site. Can I please urge LFC posters to refrain from using the "Deadwood" description. We have an unwritten agreement between long standing members of this site to not use that term.
Not having a dig but we need to remain respectful please.

7.) 21 Sep 2020 08:56:32
Iamnoonoo, Deadwood? You prolly want to keep that reprehensible word out of your vocabulary whenever you post here again. Sorry, we don't use such despicable names on our players on this site, regardless of how good or bad they are. Maybe you are new here BUT for future reference, we DON'T use that word here. Show some respect.

09 Aug 2020 23:26:49
Ed's you keep mentioning liverpool needing HG players but I don't see it. In a 25 man registered squad and 8 needing to be homegrown and unlimited u21 players

Milner
Hendo
Ox
Gomez
Trent
Williams
Elliot.

{Ed002's Note - Sorry, you seem to not understand. I have explained it elsewhere.}

1.) 10 Aug 2020 00:49:47
25 minus 8 means maximum 17 non-homegrown so if a club is finishing a transfer window with 20 non-homegrown then they couldn't register 3 of them. might have to sell cheaper in such a scenario and it's a waste for any player of they couldn't play for months (maybe loaned out I suppose but not ideal) .

2.) 10 Aug 2020 07:42:09
It’s not about how many home-grown you have, it’s only based how many foreign players you can register (max 17). You could In theory have zero HG players if you only registered a 17 player squad.

It should be called the ‘foreign player rule’ as there seems to be a lot of confusion over how it works, with everyone assuming you need at least 8 HG (not true) .

3.) 10 Aug 2020 09:14:42
Hi SG Red, if foreigners spend enough years in a British academy before they are 21 (I think 21 anyway, maybe younger) then they qualify as homegrown as well so it's not a nationality thing, it's giving academy players a chance.

4.) 10 Aug 2020 10:13:51
Do we really have issues around the HG quota though? If Tsimikas signs, I make 15 non-HG players, if I haven't missed anyone. And if we add the HG players to the squad (TAA, Milner, Gomez, Hendo, Ox) the we have 20. Add the youngsters of Williams, Jones, Kelleher, Elliot, Brewster) and we have 25. It's tight sure, but is this something we need to worry about over the next couple of seasons rather than the upcoming one?

{Ed001's Note - you have missed a couple, we have 17 in the first team squad, which is why we need to get rid of some or loan them out.}

5.) 10 Aug 2020 13:43:33
I am quite disappointed in Tsmikas over Lewis not for his ability but because we are walking a tight rope in terms of the home grown quota and Lewis would have helped towards that immensely, using a spot on a back up full back seems a bit of a waste.

6.) 10 Aug 2020 16:25:01
Fair point Sean - was meaning ‘foreign player’ as in someone not coming through the UK junior system, not a foreigner per se.

7.) 10 Aug 2020 22:50:09
No worries SG I think we are all learning more about this stuff from what we read here day by day. I hope some clubs come in for some of those like Grujic and Shaq as I don't see them getting minutes so better for the club and the players if they started afresh somewhere else. Same goes for the odd homegrown player like I think we have enough midfielders that Harry Wilson would hardly kick a ball if he stays so better for the club if we could sell him and better for the player to move on and kick start his career somewhere else.

21 Aug 2017 05:51:47
Eds, what's your views on Michael Edwards? DoF who hasn't landed any primary targets, and can't sell surplus players, i. e Sakho, Salah.

{Ed001's Note - impossible to say really. What kind of discretionary power does he have at his disposal? Are the sale prices set by him or given to him and he has to find someone to take the players at that price? Does he have the power to scrape up the money or approve the add ons required to complete a deal for an incoming player? For instance, in Keita's case, has he been told this is how much you can offer and that's it? Or does he get told this is the overall budget, you have to allocate it as you see fit? Or perhaps even is he given the power to decide exactly what terms and package is offered with no oversight from the club?

I have a feeling he does not have much in the way of discretionary power, or we would, at the very least, have offloaded a few to clear the wages.}

1.) 21 Aug 2017 06:07:29
Ed001 who do you think is calling the shots on this one then? Would this come under Peter Moores remit?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know mate. No one wants to talk about this stuff as it is above the pay grade of the people I know.}

2.) 21 Aug 2017 06:26:25
I think Edwards should be given until the end of the transfer window before any speculation on his performance. We might still get VVD and Keita and sell Sakho and Markovich.

3.) 21 Aug 2017 08:05:27
Mr Mike "Net Present Value" Gordon will be setting the parameters of the deals.

5.) 21 Aug 2017 08:10:04
Really interesting first comment Eds and spot on. Everything you mentioned regarding who has the power I always thought was the owners remit. From what I've read on here from either yourself or ed 02 suggests the owners have nothing to do with tranfers or budgets. I think we all know we have a major flaw at the club when it comes to doing any kind of transfer be it in or out. There's 10 days to go in the window so who knows what is going to happen. Keep up the great work.

24 Jun 2017 10:10:38
Eds, surely the rumours about mbappe have to be nonsense, not just for Liverpool's sake but 100m + for a player who's had one season considering you have the likes of lacazette and aubameyang available for 50-60.

{Ed025's Note - i know mate its getting ridiculous now..

1.) 24 Jun 2017 10:27:26
I think it has been made clear over and over again that Mbappe to Liverpool will not happen. Arsenal in talks with Lacazette. Aubameyang has his eyes set on Madrid and a massive pay day.

Rule out all three players.

2.) 24 Jun 2017 10:36:45
Mbappe is very young and very, very special. All eyes were on him during the champions league and he was excellent, did not crack under pressure. You pay 100 mill for him now, and he improves?, in 2 years time he will be worth double! I do not see that being the case for lacazette and auba. So business wise, it does make sense.

3.) 24 Jun 2017 10:43:57
If Aubameyang has his heart set on Madrid it doesn't mean he will end up there, they've got to want him too. I had my heart set on playing for Liverpool when I was younger. still do at 32 but doesn't mean Liverpool want me. Not saying we will get him just that he's not guaranteed to end up at Madrid.

4.) 24 Jun 2017 10:58:33
Have you seen Mbappe? Watch him again, not just YouTube highlights but repeats of games. Watch again and remind yourself he is 18. He tore up the biggest club competition he doesn't just score he is amazing with the ball at his feet.
£100m is ridiculous but it's the way things are going. Pogba is not a game changer like a striker can be but he was £90m. Defenders are now going arbitration £50-£70m if Walker and Saints get VVD sale. £100m is going to happen.
You cannot predict the future of course but if you could sign Ronaldinho, Ronaldo or Messi today at 18 for £100m you would. Mbappe could easily become as important as they were/ are.

{Ed002's Note - He will fit right in when he gets to Madrid no doubt.}

5.) 24 Jun 2017 11:26:54
He'll be good enough to fully replace Ronaldo Ed, he looks good enough already without years of games and experience.

6.) 24 Jun 2017 20:43:55
I feel it's a great shame because Mbappe is a player with a ready-made song written by those rock legends Hanson.

07 Jun 2017 22:45:43
EDS what's your view on Micahel Edwards in all of this regarding Vvd transfer.

{Ed001's Note - bit soon to judge him, this is lower down the scale than him. The way to judge him will be by how we move on from here and if he makes changes to ensure it does not happen in future under him.}
