Has Oblak signed a contract extension? Read somewhere that he has and release clause is now $200m but according to transfermarkt. com, he hasn't (although maybe it needs to be updated)

Nulty

1.) 28 May 2018 03:07:26
We are not going to buy Oblak or Allisson!


2.) 28 May 2018 09:21:55
Butland or Navas is coming in according to 2 key people on this site. Oblak and Allisson are not happening.


3.) 28 May 2018 10:14:09
Navas is a shockingly poor keeper. As bad as Claudio Bravo and look how he got on.


4.) 28 May 2018 15:22:32
TBH, I've not watched Navas enough to comment but he has a nice list of honours to his name, something our current GK options don't have a lot of.


5.) 28 May 2018 15:42:28
Claudio Bravo have a nice list of honours. In fact so does Phil Neville. It doesn’t mean a thing, you could put a dog egg in goal for Madrid and chances are they’d win a trophy. The facts are the Navas is very error prone as has been proven over the last few years, this year his mistakes have been shocking, Madrid are desperate to replace him. He is not at all any better than the keepers we already have, bar Bogdan, and isn’t worth the £30+ that Madrid want for him. I wouldn’t make any judgment on him based on the fact that we lost to Madrid. There were two shots on target and he let in one of those.

{Ed002's Note - Navas was Klopp's choice.}


6.) 28 May 2018 16:14:12
I know Ed. I’m still none the wiser as to why. Maybe he needs new glasses? I’m hoping that Michael Edwards has some ideas!

{Ed002's Note - Oblak is not moving to Liverpool. Liverpool has no interest in Oblak at.}


7.) 28 May 2018 18:52:54
I can’t see that in a million years either Ed.


 

 

28 Apr 2018 12:04:15
Any truth in he rumours we are looking at Chiesa from Fiorentina? Last update from the Ed’s was that ‘we may have looked at him’. Looks a great prospect as well as one for now.

Nulty

{Ed001's Note - he is being monitored but I believe it to be a case of an option if we were to lose Salah, rather than being prepared for this summer.}


1.) 28 Apr 2018 22:28:41
Enrico Chiesa? He must be at at least 50 now.

{Ed001's Note - he has kept himself in good shape though.}


2.) 29 Apr 2018 02:25:09
He's Enrico's son.


3.) 29 Apr 2018 16:07:16
Is he any good ed?

{Ed001's Note - supposed to be, not seen him play though.}


 

 

04 Dec 2016 06:32:58
Any interest in Alexis Sanchez? Is he not out of contract at the end of next season and fits Klopps system. He might find the revolution at Anfield enticing.

Nulty

{Ed001's Note - except that he had no interest in joining us to replace Suarez, as he wanted to go to London. I really do not expect that to have changed. If he leaves Arsenal, it is more likely he would go back to Italy or Spain. Or perhaps PSG.}


1.) 04 Dec 2016 07:43:07
Dreaming much?


2.) 04 Dec 2016 11:26:29
Would be a huge loss for Arsenal if he left, he's just incredible. I'd of loved to of seen him in a Liverpool shirt, i'm almost jealous of Arsenal having him but if he didn't want the move to us then fair enough. - Maybe we should offer Sturridge for him? haha.

Arsenal may look good at the moment but something about them reminds me of how we was a few years ago, relying on 1-2 players, without these players (Ozil and Sanchez) I don't think they'd be anwhere near us. Atleast Liverpool have a complete squad who are all looking excellent, or the majority anyway.


3.) 04 Dec 2016 13:27:39
Juventus maintain firm interest and this goes bavk to his time at Udinese. Sanchez could consider it seriously as huge have more chance at trophies than Arsenal.


 

 

23 Mar 2014 11:32:14
What is the latest with Reges, Montoya, Valdes and Raul Garcia? These guys all are highly rated yet not snapped up by a top club. A few if not all these guys would add quality to the club (although I understand the salaries would be an issue).
Also, the papers are saying we are interested in Shaw. Assuming this is paper nonsense but do yous have any info. I would rather spend 20 plus million on a player who is young, proven and would be a permanent fixture in the side for the next 5-10 years rather than wasting 8-10 on guys like aspas, alberto etc.
We need 4-5 quality first team players to allow us to challenge in the league and CL next season as let's be honest, Utd, Arsenal, city and chelsea will all spend big (especially if they don't win the league).

Congrats to the team for there performance this season. Even if we don't win the league, we should be proud of pushing city and chelsea to the very end despite spending a fraction of the fees.

We have had a fantastic season and the fact that everyone is disappointed on how it finished is actually a positive as it gives us something to work towards. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and there is no point looking in the past and what might have been - although it is a great way to learn and adapt for next season. The squad is better than ever hence why we got so close to everything but needs reinforcement to allow us to go again next season. A backup for Trent is a requirement and I think our midfield needs strengthening. Henderson is a good player but not in the world class bracket where as Thiago picks up niggles all the time. We need a world class midfielder to come in. Also need a striker. 0 goals in 3 finals and mountains of chances - we need someone to finish the chances. If Mane or Salah leaves then another attacker is needed as a replacement on top of the additional striker. It all sounds doom and gloom but far from it - the future is extremely bright and this is just the beginning of us competing on all fronts.

Nulty

1.) 29 May 2022 09:26:47
There’s a few disappointed over-reactions I think.
We handled Vinicius well overall and Trent was good defensively.
If someone beforehand had offered me just the one goal for Madrid, I’d have taken it as I’d be sure that we’d score at least one in return.
More than anything it was fatigue that caught up with us, didn’t look fresh or play anything with like the same verve.
Can you imagine playing a CL Final and taking Souness and McDermott or Gerrard and Alonso off?
That’s what happened last night when Hendo and Thiago were subbed, rightly so as their legs had gone and both were running on fumes.
I never want to hear the word quadruple again, it’s not possible and we’ve found out why.


2.) 29 May 2022 09:47:31
And for the rival fans. benzema has won more CL trophies than their entire teams history!


3.) 29 May 2022 10:04:58
Trent is not playing well enough to be in midfield his crossing has been abysmal for months and his shooting is over the bar every time! He needs to work on this.


4.) 29 May 2022 11:05:04
Agree with you there Juicer. We looked absolutely shattered. Both Henderson and Thiago looked mentally and physically drained, as did Mane and Salah.


5.) 29 May 2022 11:22:22
Why do people keep putting ‘Trent’ and ‘midfield’ in the same sentence? He is Liverpool’s right back and arguably the best right full back in the world. Jurgen plays him at right back. The only “manager” to play him I’m midfield was Southgate - end of story really.


6.) 29 May 2022 11:51:56
Salah has been poor for months now.


7.) 29 May 2022 12:23:17
Trent ain't even the best right back in England mate he was poor again last night after bigging himself up all weeks he's not a patch on Gerrard.

{Ed001's Note - Trent is a fantastic right back and to suggest otherwise just makes you look like a clueless idiot. The only right back in England near his level is Cancelo.}


8.) 29 May 2022 12:27:57
Spot on, Juicer. Trent was brilliant defensively all game long even till the last defensive play one on one with Benzema but if you are full of agendas, this pint will conveniently be ignored. We had enuff chances to outright win the game but it didn’t happen. We had a great season and we have things to improve upon even with the season we had.

As for the sore loser rival fans, I can’t even respond to their weak banter. Their teams don’t compete, don’t make finals, don’t win titles (apart from City) and don’t get 90 plus points (bar City) so no point listening to them. If you never made a final or challenged for titles, you can never be bantered for losing them.


9.) 29 May 2022 12:43:05
Ed01 and to add to that, Cancelo is worse defensively than Trent is, IMO. The guy gets caught out of position a ton, gets cooked by any winger who dares to take him on like Diaz did at Wembley or Kulusewski at the Etihad and lacks positional awareness like when Matty Cash ghosted past him to score last week vs Villa. Very technically sound player BUT nowhere near Trent in any phase, IMO.


10.) 29 May 2022 13:12:53
I have to disagree mate going forward yes but defensively he's about as useful as a stoned Nathaniel clyne.


11.) 29 May 2022 18:23:21
Peterprice, you mean Cancelo or Trent?


 

 

19 Apr 2022 07:25:56
Carvalho looks to be a given so it would just be a RW, CM and RB needed to provide 2 good options for each position. Dembele on a free would be great, appreciate he hasn't been great for Barcelona but he is only 24 and with Klopp's guidance could be fantastic. Bellingham would be ideal along with a another good RB - Walker Peters or Lamptey. With over 60 games per season potentially there is no longer the argument of being a 'backup' anymore as its a squad game. With Minamino, AOC, Karius and Origi all being sold, the overall cost for this wouldn't be enormous and would mean we would have 2 quality players for every position. These signings are also s4 or younger so would help pull the age down with others now in there 30s. Simples.

Nulty

1.) 19 Apr 2022 09:08:32
I'm a big fan of lamptey when he's on form, but even if we are playing 60 games every season trent is going to start 90% of then. How many games has tsimikas started this season even with robbos injury at the start?

If salah stays we need to buy a quality midfielder, trust in phillips/ neco Williams to cover rb for a year.


2.) 19 Apr 2022 09:37:44
Bellingham not moving this window, apparently, would also cost 100m+.

Dembele would want £400k a week.

Absolutely no way Walker-Peters or Lampty move to play second fiddle for Trent.

Would love Bellingham, though!


3.) 19 Apr 2022 10:13:53
OP, I would pick Walker-Peters over Lamptey cos he is the better all round footballer offensively and defensively than Lamptey who is pretty poor defensively, IMO.


4.) 19 Apr 2022 11:35:13
Gomez covering RB suits me fine, notwithstanding any interest from elsewhere and if Liverpool would be open to selling him (which I hope they’re not) .


5.) 19 Apr 2022 11:42:34
Neither of those players are going to come to play second fiddle, the club should be integrating the youth or buy a utility player like Milly again if he leaves personally think if Gomez does go for a good chunk seppy should be used as 4/ 5 choice CB and second choice RB.


6.) 19 Apr 2022 12:30:21
Personally I would look at Dembele. Klopp loves him and if we can agree a contract with he would be a great buy, but would also see the end of at least Firmino and possibly Mane.


7.) 19 Apr 2022 13:35:06
Stay clear of Ousmane Dembele as far as I am concerned.

I'd rather take a look at Agibou Camara (not sure if he can play right wing but he's very flexible), Moussa Diaby, Antony and Raphinha first.

However, if Salah signs a new deal and we have talents like Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho and Kaide Gordon to nurture, I wonder whether we really need a right winger.

Or perhaps we look for a right winger/ right no8/ right back hybrid type instead?

Or maybe we have accepted that Salah is leaving.
Curious.


8.) 19 Apr 2022 14:14:06
Calvin Ramsay Aberdeen - 2nd choice RB, 18 years old, excellent prospect.


9.) 19 Apr 2022 17:36:58
Nobody at Anfield would understand an Aberdonian accent - including Robbo.


 

 

13 Sep 2020 05:53:58
Ok Ed0666 if you say so. Having 22 shots on goal and scrapping a win thanks to 2 penalties at home against a promoted team backs up what I am saying - don’t know what game you were watching. WE NEED A PROPER STRIKER. On another day we drop 2 points.

Nulty

{Ed0666's Note - ok I’ll bite. So you think a front 3 that have scored circa 250 combined goals for Liverpool need changing? The same front three that are in their peak years? The same front three that are considered the best attacking triumvirate in world soccer? So let’s play Nulty which striker within reason taking into account we have very little money and knowing that a striker would find it hard to break into the attack because of the established Mane, Salah and Bobby Would you sign?


1.) 13 Sep 2020 06:50:45
Argh. Go play your games then.

They are a bunch of humans. So what'd you expect? Perfect every single game?

Yeah I get it. Its all about opinions, freedom to talk, and whatever. But arguments without proper basis, and based on one single game?

Argh! Sorry folks. I have to let it out. Its been inside of me for quite some time. Im okay now.

{Ed025's Note - ....and breathe..


2.) 13 Sep 2020 06:53:07
It’s become basically a front two plus Bobby. Salah and Mane are the difference makers and Firmino contributes less and less. In front of goal he has no confidence what so ever. This season it will hurt us unless he can sort his issues out. Firmino was 3 yards out, keeper to beat and yet still pulls it back to a Leeds player.
Last season he missed 20ish one on ones where he just had the keeper to beat it can’t go on like this. You can see it effecting his overall game.

{Ed025's Note - you are not allowed to criticise saint bobby mark, hes the cog that makes the machinery work, the nuts and bolts of this well oiled machine, the creme de la creme of the liverpool magi, how dare you question the special one?....your spot on mate he has under achieved for a while now imo but im sure the tinted glasses brigade will be on your case very shortly to put you in your place, the fact that as a striker he cant hit a bulls arse with a banjo makes no difference apparently...spend your 40 pieces of silver wisely my friend.. :)


3.) 13 Sep 2020 07:00:02
“scrapping a win thanks to 2 penalties at home against a promoted team backs up what I am saying”

The level of arrogance and self entitlement is unreal.

How dare Leeds play some really good football and give us a game eh.

How poor do we have to be for a “promoted” team to nearly get a point at anfield eh.

On another day. it could have been six or seven. Or On another day. we could have kept a clean sheet if we defended properly.

As for Bobby it’s not even worth arguing about if you don’t understand how his role is vital to the system we play.


4.) 13 Sep 2020 07:05:01
I do believe we need another option, if plan a isn't working someone to change the system. Question is who and would they be within our budget.
Was it Enistien that said doing the same thing over and over and not getting a different result is insainaty?


5.) 13 Sep 2020 07:32:32
Your on top form for 7.30am Ed. Like your good self on here I am used to the criticism, most of it I get from ed001, ha.

{Ed025's Note - i get it from him as well mark..


6.) 13 Sep 2020 08:36:15
I thought we had another opinion poisitvewalter he’s name is Minamino.


7.) 13 Sep 2020 09:17:39
Tbh I have been saying for a while we need to get a proper alternative to firminho
And if we can’t buy one then how about putting mane central and Minamino on the left
Sometimes bobby just looks short of confidence
But he is class and will come good again deffo.


8.) 13 Sep 2020 10:52:44
Salah gets a hat trick- but we need a striker?


9.) 13 Sep 2020 07:45:06
Selective stats there Ed. Firmino got 9 goals last season - 9. Didn’t say the front three needed completely changed, I said we need a proper striker. I’m pointing out that 22 shots at goal and having to rely on 2 penalties is a concern and Firmino doesn’t score enough goals. The amount of chances that were missed yesterday meant that Leeds were always in the game, it should have been out of site. Firmino gets himself into decent positions then tries to pass or do something fancy instead of smashing the ball at goal. I don’t have the answer who we should have signed - that’s why Liverpool have a scouting network. Not every signing needs to be mega money hence why the scouts need to earn their money. Are you seriously telling me that having 22 shots on goal (and it’s not just this game) and not being out of sight is not a concern? 22 shots . By the law of averages you are bound to score - especially with 2 penalties. Take off your red coloured glasses and look at the game and the stats. On another day we drop points.

{Ed0666's Note - How are my stats selective when they prove my point? We have scored an absurd amount of goals over the last few seasons with the current front three who are the envy of the world. Any club on the planet would literally break rules to have Mane, Salah and Bobby. Yes Bobby may not be a prolific goal scorer but can you soberly tell me you want to replace him. Ask any coach and team mate and they will sing eulogies about him. So what we had 22 shots on goal and scored four. On another day we’ll score a few more.

I bow to you’re soccer knowledge but I bow longer to Klopps soccer IQ and rejoice he’s making the decisions and not you.

Yes we could do with a handy striker that scores goals but finding one that will be a sub and fit into our system is a different story.


10.) 14 Sep 2020 07:19:57
Hang on, we let in 3 goals, and our striker (Salah) scored so many goals that we STILL won. But you think the problem was he only scored 3, not 6? The problem yesterday was that our midfield was bypassed without a natural holding midfielder added to the fact Hendo hadn't played in months. Throw in a couple of individual errors at the back (Gomez running into Trent for their first, Virgil passing it straight to Bamford for their second) and that is why we scraped a win.

Any team that scores 4 goals shouldn't being winning by a narrow margin. The defence need to look at themselves. Alisson and Virgil both gifted Arsenal goals at the back end of last season, City put 4 past them with their second string attack out, Atletico scored 3 at Anfield, Chelsea scored 3 at Anfield and now Leeds have scored 3 at Anfield.

This isn't something we need signings to fix. That same back 4 was the best in the world 12 months ago. This is Van Dijk needing to be the £70m player and leader at the back that we paid for. Ryan Babel said a few years ago that he knew Virgil's weakness and then he went on the score by capitalising on Van Dijks over confidence when a ball drops over his shoulder. Well it's just happened again with Bamford so maybe Babel wasn't just talking trash. Virgil needs to stop acting like he's imperious at times and just put his damn laces through the ball.

Trent missed the whole pre-season and then had to spend a week learning nothing with Southgate so i'll allow his performance. Gomez was a disaster for their first and third goals though. Trent was tracking Harrison and would've got a block in until he had to avoid Gomez who had completely missed Harrison and nearly cleaned out Trent. Then on the third goal Gomez was 6 yards deeper than Virgil playing them onside, before turning his back on the shot.

How on earth you can blame the strikers for yesterday is astonishing. Salah especially was the best player not just on the Anfield pitch, but in any of the 4 games i watched yesterday. That was the Salah who scored 40+ goals a season. Anyway, it's the first game and the result is all that matters. Klopp will sort the defence out for sure. They've not become bad players over night, they're just going through a bad period and this was a wake up call. Rant over.


 

 

13 Sep 2020 04:31:56
We need a striker ASAP. The amount of chances we missed today and don't seem to have someone who wants to put there foot through the ball and score - too much messing around at times with intricate passes etc trying to score the perfect goal which will cost us in future games. We were very lucky to get the win today. Bobby isn't the answer and seems to have no confidence at times. Sorry but we need to be ruthless and have no room for sentiment. Werner is a missed opportunity imo.

Nulty

1.) 13 Sep 2020 05:17:01
Just be happy with the 3 points! I've seen a lot of people question our desire and motivation to go again. We got pegged back 3 times and still found a way to win. Of course we need to improve, and we will do. Leeds playing like that will give every team in the league a headache.


 

 

14 Dec 2019 00:17:54
New Milner deal is enormous IMO. City have lost Kompany who was not only a great player on the pitch, but a leader off it. They haven’t been the same since he left and a lot could be due to off the pitch. From what it seems, Milner is a role model and leader off the pitch so even if he isn’t a starter, having him help Klopp and Hendo run the dressing room is enormous and his contribution should not be underplayed. Brilliant news.

Where is the money coming from? If we couldn’t afford Werner why can we suddenly spend $25m on Thiago, $35m on Jota and apparently $45m on Sarr? What’s changed?

I would imagine Fekir and Werner would be cheaper due to contracts running down whilst Rabiot is a free. Apparently Fekir was £52m agreed fee last year so would imagine this being £35m (ish) with 12 months remaining. Werner would be the same. Agree with the above poster, a lot of recouped money with players leaving and saving on wages. De Ligt would cost a few bob but at 18 is a long term player. I don’t see any of the above is unrealistic and would add the quality and depth in all parts of the team, especially when looking at the outgoings mentioned.

‘We make players world class’. Let’s keep ‘making world class players’ and winning nothing in the meantime! Once they become world class they then move onto Real or Barca! We need to move with the times. Buy a world class keeper and let’s challenge for titles.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Reality is Klopp watches his players daily and is in a better position to judge. We lost, we will recover and hopefully use this as a great catalyst to go again. Onwards and upwards.

Don’t understand the tension between Ed002 and Macca. Both provide valuable insight and opinion. Can’t we all just get along?!?! Ha
Hopefully the Butland and Tarkowski links are false. Much rather Allison and a quality CB. Fekir and Dembele are top notch so we should be aiming for this quality in the GK and CB area also.

Players come and go, it’s part of football. We should be aiming to have a squad of players that if one moves on, we have others who can fill in. We should not be reliant to one player as we have been over the years (Gerrard, Torres, Suarez now Salah) . Although we had other good players around them, these 4 seemed to be almost dragging the club over the line (especially Gerrard) . We are on the cusp of something great and with a few quality signings, the team as a whole will be great, not just one player.
