Hi Ed002,
another dissapointing performance and result. It seems there will be no CL football on Anfiled next season. I`m pleased Mr. Klopp did not make any hectic transfers in the January window. I believe he just takes his time to get to know the squad better, to make reasonable decisions in the summer. But if there`s no CL next season we could lose another (after Suarez and Sterling) top player in the summer (Coutinho) . I know it`s difficult to get results with so many injured players, but still we should win games like today`s. Today Mignolet was to blame again. I would like to see Ward between the posts next time. Nevertheless, I hope Klopp is thinking about bringing in a new goalie for next season. As for the rest of the squad, we need new solid CBs for sure - Toure, Sakho must go. I`m generally very dissapointed with Clyne`s performance too. I had high expectations when he came in. The midfield looks promising, but we really need Ibe, Can, Lallana to step up their game. As for strikers, it seems to me Klopp won`t keep Benteke nor Balotelli, we don`t know if Sturridge will stay for next season. I would anticipate some moves from Bundesliga in the summer. I`d love to see Hummels and Rues come. Any chance Ed? I would really like to read your opinion on the current squad, results and tips for the summer : who will leave and who will come. If you find time. Thanks.

Tom

{Ed002's Note - (a) I suspect previous interest in Coutinho has gone. (b) Toure will certainly leave. (c) I expect a goalkeeper might be hunted down for the summer - but that could spell then end for Ward of course. (d)
I would certainly not be holding my breath over Hummels or Reus. (e) The club needs to do something about the strikers in the summer but need to decide who needs to go first. Balotelli - it makes sense for Inter to buy him and then sell him on for a profit iof they don't want to keep him. It is a little early to say what will actually happen Tom but we should be able to soon weed through those where there was previous interest that has gone and catch up on those the club are now scouting - ask me for an update at the end of the month.}

Inter buying balotelli or AC?


2.) 07 Feb 2016 12:52:11
Ironically "big" players leaving currently only means worrying about Firmino. I would like us to keep couts, hendo and lucas who are also on high wages but the rest of the high earners will be up for sale anyway.


3.) 07 Feb 2016 14:24:58
ed002 who would they sell Balotelli to. I can see him at liverpool till his contract runs out how long does he have left hope it was only a 3 year contract when we signed him.

{Ed002's Note - The can buy him very cheaply from Liverpool and sell him to anyone who is interested at a profit. His contract runs to 2018.}


4.) 07 Feb 2016 14:56:05
Hendo lucas can go if big bid comes in esp from china. Lucas will probably suit chinese league fine with big Brazilian contingent.


5.) 07 Feb 2016 22:05:33
Hello ed002,

You mentioned balotelli can be bought very cheaply off Liverpool, and if it doesn't workout then, still, sold for a profit later. Do you believe that Liverpool just don't know how to sell the unwanted players? It always seems like we buyout their contracts, let them go for free and incur incredible losses. Is this the financial mismanagement that you keep mentioning or is that far more encompassing subject (I'd understand if you think it's not worth the pain on these pages) . And how do clubs like Chelsea manage to get a decent value out of players who they deem not ready for their first team (no dig, I'm a huge fan of how it seems they are the new masters in negotiation) .

{Ed002's Note - No, Balotelli needed to move on and the loan to buy was the only viable option. Inter could buy and then resell immediately in the summer to potentially profit. Chelsea has a strategy for each player and ensure that when they are on loan they get good experience. This has worked well.}


6.) 08 Feb 2016 10:04:21
Hey Ed002, it's AC Milan Balotelli's at rather than Inter. Anyway it's been mentioned before €10m is what was agreed. In my opinion, that is actually a good selling price for us. You know a lot more about these things and you seem to think that Milan can get a quick profit from reselling him - if you think that then that's a good thing as it surely means he'll move on in the summer. We need strikers who are willing to work hard and he certainly doesn't suit that.

{Ed002's Note - Sorry about that. Yes €10M is the to buy clause. It will be up to Balotelli either way. If Milan want to buy and keep him will be one option he has to consider. If Milan want to buy and resell he will need to know of any interested sides and decide if that suits him, else he can return to Liverpool and make the most of next season.}


7.) 08 Feb 2016 12:56:28
How come AC Milan can sell him for more? Why don't we cut out the middle man and just sell him for more ourselves?


8.) 08 Feb 2016 22:28:48
Because we have a pre agreed deal with AC Milan, as Ed002 clearly explains above.

Hi Ed002,
a 17 year old Polish goalkeeper Kamil Garbara passed his medical and signed 3 year contract with Liverpool. Can you confirm that news?
Thanks. Fingers crossed for a win vs United.

Tom

{Ed002's Note - Yes Tom, he agreed to join Liverpool on Wednesday and the paperwork for an academy contract is being processed.}

Hi Ed002,
with Sturridge struggiling to get back to full fitness, is it possible he`ll be sold this season and JK will look for a replacement? thanks.

Tom

{Ed002's Note - He won't be sold until he is fit and it will be tough to find a buyer. I think it very unlikely that he would be available, used enough to prove his fitness and attract interest before Christmas.}


1.) 08 Nov 2015 20:07:56
We can probably only speculate, but would he eventually just be released if things don't improve?

{Ed002's Note - I would think that there is zero chance of that.}


2.) 09 Nov 2015 11:32:05
Sturidge is the best finisher at the club, I don't understand why everyone wants him gone beacuse he's has a few injuries, he's only a young lad, he's had a bit of bad luck, Everytime he's come back after an injury he's played well and or scored, he's not just a natural finisher his all round games good aswell, I know some players come on this forum I'd hate them to see some of the stuff written in here, to be honest I'd be gutted if he left, instead of constantly tryin to sell him off why not support him and or the team, red till we're dead!


3.) 09 Nov 2015 12:45:08
It's a shrink that he needs as I think most of his injuries are in his head. He can be amazing when he plays and we really could be doing with him at the moment but for the amount of money he's costing us to sit on a treatment table is getting beyond a joke.


4.) 09 Nov 2015 20:02:33
Sturridge is quality, don't give up on him!

Hi Ed002,
thanks for the answer, I meant if Mario and Borini leave will Origi go out on loan this season and not if will be sold. thanks.

Tom

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any plans to loan out Origi.}


 

 

18 Aug 2015 17:42:11
Hi Ed002,
if Mario and Borini leave will Origi stay? thanks

Tom

{Ed002's Note - Origi has only just arrived, he won't be leaving.}

Hi Ed002,
5 games in 15 days. crazy! And the only striker ready to play is Benteke? I suppose there are no plans to buy a striker this window. Do you think it`s possible that Sturridge, Benteke, Balotelli, Origi and Ings will leave in the summer? Or is Klopp ready to keep one or two? thanks.

Tom

{Ed002's Note - What has happened to Firmino? And Sinclair? And Sturridge is clear of injury? And Origi will be available in a week or so? And other clubs manage? Liverpool won't be selling all of their strikers in the summer.}


1.) 25 Jan 2016 17:06:34
Sturridge isn't clear he has a few more days from the 10 😂😂😂.


2.) 25 Jan 2016 17:06:39
What a ridiculous post. First of all are you for real or is this just a bad joke?

You ask are there plans to buy a striker as you say we only have 1 and then you ask if we would possibly sell our 5 most senior strikers (all of them even) in the summer.


3.) 25 Jan 2016 18:54:13
That post was a head-scratcher, really.


4.) 25 Jan 2016 19:21:47
Tom, I'm going to have to unfriend you on MySpace for that ridiculous post.

Hi Ed002,
Any news on Lovren? His injury looked serious. Is Sakho close to full fitness? thanks.

Tom

{Ed002's Note - I can't help with Lovren but the expectation is that Sakho will be available for selection before the Christmas period.}


1.) 13 Dec 2015 19:38:02
that looked bad. get well soon lovren.


2.) 13 Dec 2015 19:54:16
That looked pretty bad. I pray he's ok.

Hi ed002,
Sterling out - any ideas who will be brought in using the fee? Any news on Lambert, Borini or Mario going? Is Mignolet staying? thanks.

Tom

{Ed002's Note - It doesn't work like that Tom.}


1.) 13 Jul 2015 10:21:25
I think it is pretty clear Mignolet is staying, Tom. Also, by their omission, it is pretty obvious LFC want Balotelli and Borini gone. Lambert is a tricky one; I think LFC will sell him if they get Benteke, if they don't they wold want someone experienced like Lambert to stick around a little longer IMO.


2.) 13 Jul 2015 10:57:05
Tom, do you not think we have enough attacking midfielders in coutihno, Firmino, Ibe, markovic, lallana, Milner plus we currently have 6 strikers and youth players with potential.


 

 

12 Jul 2015 19:20:49
I hope Liverpool can do better than Medel and Krychowiak.

Tom

1.) 12 Jul 2015 19:48:30
There is no such player called Krychowiak


2.) 12 Jul 2015 23:37:31
Krychowiak plays for Sevilla and he would be a quality signing imo


 

 

02 Jul 2015 13:26:05
Hi Ed002,
I thought Origi would be given a chance this season. Any truth in rumours he`ll spend another season on loan? thanks

Tom

{Ed002's Note - I know nothing of it Tom.}


1.) 02 Jul 2015 17:38:33
stop bringing up that origi was voted in the worse team of the year, let's give him a chance rather than hoping he gets loaned out
