I read somewhere that Klopp has insisted the board buy Eden Hazard. Now I’m sure this is nonsense, but what would my fellow fans and the Eds make of this?
1.) 09 Jan 2022 10:34:02
In Klopp we trust!
But I doubt it's true.
2.) 09 Jan 2022 11:36:15
Does klopp have a thing for sick notes he’s must of been a nurse in his past life!
Jokin aside I doubt he is!
3.) 09 Jan 2022 12:03:55
I think you can put that one down as BS circulated by Madrid to flush out interested parties as they’re desperate to get shot of him.
4.) 09 Jan 2022 17:35:44
Hahaha, the rumours get worse.
22 Apr 2019 12:08:54
Rumour of LFC potentially being interested in Zaha. Any mileage in this or is it lazy journalism. Second question, would any fans want him on the books?
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any intention of Liverpool to look to Zaha as the Salah replacement.}
1.) 22 Apr 2019 12:29:07
Ed002. Do you think (a) Salah wants to go if juve or real come in for him and (b) would Liverpool sell.
I know what you have said in the past and it looks like Madrid have moved to hazard and possibly neymar which is great for us. Would real be the only club he would leave us for or are juve a possibility also.
{Ed002's Note - There have been repeated attempts to organise a move to Real Madrid or Juventus - I have no doubt that Madrid would be his preferred destination but they have made themselves a complete laughing stock with their demands. There is nothing whatsoever linking Hazard and Salah - and Real Madrid has another RW target. Even though his agent lowered the demands and spoke to Real Madrid again there is another reason making the move there very unlikely.}
2.) 22 Apr 2019 12:34:59
Salah replacement did not think Salah needed replacing,
Even if Salah is looking to leave which is not good if he
Is we would need a better quality replacement than zaha .
3.) 22 Apr 2019 13:02:24
Madrid / Barca, I get why players want to move there, Juve not so much, is Juve really that much of an attractive move from Liverpool especially at the moment. I know they’ve won their league like 7 times in a row but that just proves it’s not the most competitive league in the world.
4.) 22 Apr 2019 13:10:55
Cheers ed002. I know hazard and Salah play different positions I meant to say priority seems to be hazard. I'm sure Chelsea won't let him go cheaply and rightly so he is a smashing player. Just goes to show he can say he loves the premier League and club all he wants but means nothing really. We will move on without him like we have when so many other players have left. Would love to see him stay tho. Ed 002 thanks for the reply.
{Ed002's Note - It is entirely unrelated to Hazard.}
5.) 22 Apr 2019 13:13:52
May I ask the other reason?
{Ed002's Note - Best not to.}
6.) 22 Apr 2019 13:13:53
Ed2, lost count - how long is it since the last Salah to Madrid question this time? 😅.
7.) 22 Apr 2019 14:03:01
Ed02, apart from salah’s agent trying to get a move do you know if Salah is happy at Liverpool?
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea if he is happy per se, but he wants to play for another side.}
8.) 22 Apr 2019 14:31:50
Thankyou for the reply, hope you’re enjoying the bank holiday.
9.) 22 Apr 2019 14:35:30
I hope he doesn’t leave .
{Ed002's Note - I doubt he will.}
10.) 22 Apr 2019 14:36:19
I hope he doesn't leave, but if he does, we should target Dembele or Sane. Luckily, Sane seems unhappy at City though they may not want to sell to us.
Outside those two, Pepe is the only winger whose name seems to be getting traction and he won't be moving to Liverpool.
11.) 22 Apr 2019 14:37:04
Why does he want to play for another side? can't be entirely happy then?
{Ed002's Note - It has been his desire to play for Real Madrid. There has been no secret.}
12.) 22 Apr 2019 15:02:50
Think we are in a much more stable position if Salah mane were to leave it won’t be like when Suarez left the team is much more rounded now
Up the pool.
13.) 22 Apr 2019 15:49:14
Not surprised by Salah really, there appear to be many players who view Real and Barcelona as the pinnacle of football. There is a long list of players who have left successful English sides when the big 2 in Spain come calling.
As Edo2 has said in the past, these players are transient employees who come and go, it is all part of modern football.
14.) 22 Apr 2019 16:26:59
When you look at Madrids squad they appear to have bale, asensio, benzema, vazquez, James and isco. I can't see all of these leaving. Salah surely knows how good he has it at Liverpool. The team he plays in, the upward trajectory of the squad in aiming for numerous trophies and his contract must be satisfactory at the least. Why would you throw that away to join a team that doesn't play like a team, that has a manager who had to be convinced by the chairman to return to a job he left and play with a team that will take at least another 12 months to challenge for top honours again. I just can't see it, but then I do have red tinted glasses on.
{Ed002's Note - You are rather missing the point that he wants to play for Real Madrid hence his agent bothering them about him. You probably need to read up on what is happening at Real Madrid with many of those players being available.}
15.) 22 Apr 2019 17:51:24
Ed002
I appreciate you may not be able to answer this at all but if salah were to go to madrid what do you think the transfer fee would most likely be?
{Ed002's Note - I can’t tell you what the “most likely†fee would be.}
16.) 22 Apr 2019 17:58:10
Duly noted ed002 I will not utter another word, thank you for your insightful updates.
17.) 22 Apr 2019 20:51:21
Salah is staying end of.
18.) 22 Apr 2019 20:51:41
Must be the first time in many a year that I can remember that any player we lose would not be a problem. I say that for two reasons.1 if any of our so called A list players were to leave we would command a colossal transfer fee which I’m sure Klopp would spend wisely. And secondly we have Klopp. Any manager who can keep up with Man City’s squad re their wealth is nothing short of brilliant. Now losing Klopp I think that would be a problem.
19.) 22 Apr 2019 21:28:52
The players have it so good for themselves right now, adored by the fans and they all work so hard for each other in a system that suits them.
20.) 22 Apr 2019 22:32:41
Hi Ed002. Thanks for the insight. Would Liverpool be open to Sell?
21.) 22 Apr 2019 23:09:42
If Salah wants Real Madrid, I can understand that. But if his wish is to play for Real Madrid, why is Salah's agent trying to garner interest from Juve? Serie A is an uncompetitive league and if Juve is not a club Salah has dreamed of playing for then I can only put it down to money. plain and simple. Unless anyone can suggest another reason why Juve would appeal?
22.) 22 Apr 2019 23:27:32
Hope I don't get shot for this, but I'd prefer to lose Salah over Mane or Bobby. I think if you put any decent player in the front 3, they will get chances and therefore goals. Salah has been great for us of course, but if he wants to go, then so be it. Part of me would have liked to see us cash in on him at the end of last season, imagine the fee back then? That all said, who do you replace him with? And, would a top player also see us as a stepping stone to Spain? Think of the best players who have left for Spain: Xabi, Masch, Suarez, Couts. Tongue in cheek you could throw Owen in also. If we win the league or the CL, surely we're closer to being in that bracket of clubs that players want to come to?
23.) 23 Apr 2019 03:22:21
I think we are all well aware that nowadays, football is a business. So, everyone's for sale at the right price. The only thing I ask for is for these players to be respectful of the club and fans. Do it right, and you'll leave with dignity. Do it wrongly, and you'll regret it.
BUT. I hope the good players we have will want to stay a bit longer and enjoy a bit more success with the club before they move on. We're in a good situation now and I hope they'd want to be a part of that.
24.) 23 Apr 2019 06:32:24
Salah is the key for current tactics. with his incredible pace he creates much room for the others.
But I don't think he is irreplaceable, he is fast but his decision is not top class. If he leaves, we just look for quality replacement such as Insigne, he may not be that fast but I think the composure and decision making aspect could be improved.
25.) 23 Apr 2019 07:56:56
I'm sure it wouldn't be end of the world bad, but imo losing any of salah, mane or firmino will take some adjusting for. they are symbiotic to how we function. It'd be like losing a leg. not the death of ya but would take some adjusting and a prosthetic would just never quote be the samr.
26.) 23 Apr 2019 12:02:30
We’re actually quite lucky Hazard appears destined for Madrid at the end of the season. Connecting the dots between Madrid’s desire for drastic change (new star players) and Zizu’s admiration for Mane (not Salah), I’d say we dodge a bullet and our rivals lose a key player.
27.) 23 Apr 2019 15:00:50
It’ll be up to the player but with ALL players, especially one which relies on explosive acceleration, there is an optimum time to sell. ðŸ‘.
28.) 23 Apr 2019 18:29:14
So what if Salah wants to play for RM. is he a local lad all of a sudden. most players in world would want to play for RM. it's not a snub to liverpool.
29.) 23 Apr 2019 20:00:38
I support Liverpool Football Club not individual players. I will back to the hilt every player who pulls on the red shirt but once they leave, that ends. The manner of their leaving will determine how I feel about them but generally I have no hard feelings towards them and usually wish them well. To me (and most Liverpool supporters I guess) ours is THE best club in the World but I am not completely daft and I recognise that for some players there are other clubs they want to play for, for all kinds of reasons. Barcelona and Real Madrid are amongst those clubs and if Salah or anyone else gets himself a move to one of those clubs, let’s get top dollar for him/ them and buy/ develop the next Liverpool superstar.
30.) 23 Apr 2019 20:50:08
Spot on, WW. If Salah wants to leave at all costs then, he can leave. I stopped being arsed about these types of things since the whole Torres to Chelsea saga. As long as we stick RM for every last penny on the fee then I'm good.
31.) 24 Apr 2019 23:22:17
why o why is that if Liverpool were to buy a top forward, its cos he would replace Salah,
sell or let go of players like sturridge, origi, Lallana, and bring in one top attacking player, and, yes, Keep Salah, we want to keep all our best players, so please stop saying, if Salah goes .

If Haaland stays at Dortmund this year, is there any chance Liverpool will look to signing him next year given we know he has a much more reasonable release clause next summer that we may be able to meet, or is he off to Real as everyone seems to think?
1.) 09 Aug 2021 21:45:25
We can afford his agent fees and wages.
2.) 09 Aug 2021 21:50:10
With which money?
3.) 09 Aug 2021 22:09:37
We’d probably struggle to buy his dad. Maybe a cheeky bid for his mum.
4.) 09 Aug 2021 23:01:49
Are we just going to be skint every season?
5.) 10 Aug 2021 00:39:40
We can’t afford to buy Bissouma. What makes you think we could afford to buy Haaland. Unless we have an agreement for a payment plan spread over 50 years.
6.) 10 Aug 2021 02:16:09
Seliing one of front 3 will help next year.
7.) 10 Aug 2021 03:24:52
We have to win the champions league or epl to have him think about it.
I don't think if he wanted to come to us money would be an issue for the club.
But he won't be coming unless we win a big trophy.
Also i don't think liverpool want anything to do with riola.
8.) 10 Aug 2021 08:31:02
Apparently so LiverpoolFC8,we can never sign any decent player any of our rivals would want, we can't dare bring in anyone on good wages and we won't even be able to afford free transfers because they might actually want a big signing on fee. welcome to "everyones an accountant FC".
9.) 10 Aug 2021 08:43:18
LiverpoolFC8 yes mate pretty much.
10.) 10 Aug 2021 08:52:11
Are you for real? We don't pay those wages, that's why gini left that's why we won't sign niguez, and you think a player who will command in the region of 500k a week probably more could come here when we are asking niguez to take a pay cut, if you're a young kid then ignore my reply because you are just hoping and dreaming which is fine, if you're not then WOW! How anyone can trust these owners is beyond me.
03 Apr 2021 15:01:20
Cards on the table ed001 and 2, is there any chance of Liverpool signing Mappe? I don’t imagine the transfer fee would be the issue if one of the front three were sold to finance the move, but surely wages are an issue that can’t square the circle without disrupting the current wage structure and upsetting others who may feel like they should be paid more?
{Ed002's Note - I would not have though so and do you have any idea what the costs would be?}
1.) 03 Apr 2021 17:18:01
Is there any new player named mappe 😂😂😂.
{Ed077's Note - probably played for Paris FC 🤣🤣
2.) 03 Apr 2021 16:12:42
As much as I love Mbappe and especially Haaland we won’t be signing either. Ed2, not sure if this is the right page but it is linked to both players. You have mentioned Real Madrid have plans to sign Mbappe and Haaland over the next year or so. Do you think it’s possible for them to do both in this summer window?
{Ed002's Note - No, they are not looking to do that.}
3.) 03 Apr 2021 16:19:35
Could you give us a ballpark figure ed002?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Perhaps £150M to buy him, £50M in fees and more that £600k per week.}
4.) 03 Apr 2021 16:53:03
We can only imagine Ed, massive no doubt. But if a club bought Mbappe for £200m say and paid him £75m in wages. That club would get the money back in sponsorship and the sale of the player 3 years down the line. Mbappe would take Liverpool up another level. Does the Nike deal and having Lebron on the team give us a chance?
{Ed002's Note - No, it doesn't work like that.}
5.) 03 Apr 2021 17:10:50
What would the costs be ed? Just out of pure interest? Is there a way the deal can be financed that could work? Have zero idea about how the costs work. If we can get someone like that it would be amazing. Unfortunately can't see it happening.
{Ed002's Note - Huge.}
6.) 03 Apr 2021 18:26:05
Mbappe sorry! And no. I have no idea how much such a move would cost. That’s exactly why I’m asking the question. If you can’t help then don’t worry about it.
7.) 03 Apr 2021 19:07:40
It’s all well and good him allegedly telling his friends he’d really wants to move to Liverpool, but if you really wanted to make the move you’d take the pay cut. He won’t, so he doesn’t want it. I don’t know what Paris are paying him but the find it a bit weird that players who claim to care about their clubs also won’t play for them unless they get paid enough to bankrupt a small country, players like Messi who stand around pointing fingers at other people when the club ends up in a dire state.
{Ed002's Note - PSG will offer him €750k per week to extend for 2 years.}
8.) 03 Apr 2021 19:14:56
Absolutely insane that Ed002. If we were to even pay him a third of that it would completely obliterate the wage structure and make a lot of our players very unhappy. It just wouldn’t be what we are about.
9.) 03 Apr 2021 22:46:53
Those numbers Ed002 are frightening.
10.) 04 Apr 2021 08:26:27
The problem with breaking your wage structure for someone even of the talent of Mbappe is the likely costs that are going to come in from other players demanding higher wages.
City who I believe have the richest owners in football? Or very close have kept to some sort of wage structure and it seems even they are going to pass on Mbappe and Haaland. If one of those went to City on say 600k a week, you will get half the squad knocking on the door wanting an increase and the likes of KDB wanting to be aligned with them and rightly so.
{Ed077's Note - plus you need to factor in future contract extension for the player too. Say you sign an early 20s Haaland or Mbappe on 600k for 4 or 5yrs max. After around 2.5/3 yrs you will have to either sell them or give them a new deal to protect the players market value. How much more will they then command?
17 Feb 2021 19:58:59
Given a few rumours regarding Mbappe to Liverpool, how much would it actually cost to sign him and how many of our 'premium' players would have to be lost to sign him. Purely hypothetically. Same question really for any team who looked to sign him.
1.) 17 Feb 2021 20:13:04
At a guess north of £300m, taking everything into account. He is going to be a truly great player but will he get 30 goals a season like Salah? Not sure he seems to get injured quite a bit.
We would need to sell 2 star players probably and would still need Nike to help out.
Maybe there is one situation that would make the move much more likely. If by August the whole country was vaccinated and fans were allowed back in but they weren’t in other countries.
2.) 17 Feb 2021 20:38:10
And £500,000 a week.
3.) 17 Feb 2021 20:55:19
Ain’t going to happen.
4.) 17 Feb 2021 21:09:22
I think Mbappes contract expires at the end of next season? I think the only way someone will be able to afford him is buy signing him on a 'free transfer'.
I know technically he'd have an outrageous signing on fee and huge wages so it's not exactly free. But PSG would surely ask for more money than any team could afford right now!
5.) 17 Feb 2021 21:15:51
The salary alone would be a deal breaker.
Unless he's willing to fit in with the club's salary structure (and I can't see THAT happening) then it's a non-starter.
Can't blame people for dreaming, but that's all it is. The reality is the financing, probably only Man City and Chelsea could shoulder that burden in this country.
6.) 17 Feb 2021 23:10:18
Utd could.
7.) 18 Feb 2021 12:18:26
Mbappe fancies the move and Klopp really wants him, his contract expiring puts his price down IMO and the wages can be made up with bonuses, a deal could be worked with Edwards involved. He is the one player who is going to be the player of the next decade.
8.) 18 Feb 2021 14:42:31
Is Mbappe signed up with Mbappe? get them to help us. and then hike up jersey prices to cover the transfer fee and wages.
11 May 2019 12:16:48
Have Liverpool shown any interest in Maddison from Leicester? Seen a report about it today but assume it’s rubbish.
{Ed002's Note - No.}
02 Aug 2017 14:02:37
I think we have a solid squad and a team who can rival anyone in the premier league. Fans are getting far too over excited about signings and transfers, but the truth is, we already have a squad capable of challenging. Yes people would like keita, but where would he play really? The only other signing I think we need is perhaps a central defender. VVD of otherwise. Save for that, we should look at what others around us are spending and on what. Would you want matic and lukaku over firmino and Henderson? Would you want bernardo silva over coutinho? Lacazette or Moreno over Sturridge and solanke? Not for me. We have a talented close knit squad and have added real quality in salah. We don't need any more without selling. Have faith. This will be a ten beat anyone on their day.
11 May 2022 17:19:17
Fantastically detailed info. Thanks.
24 Jan 2019 18:51:56
No good at Anfield then!
{Ed002's Note - He wears ear plugs during games.}
21 Jul 2017 08:21:36

20 Sep 2016 19:20:51

09 Sep 2016 00:05:53
Well that explains it then.
03 Apr 2021 18:26:05
Mbappe sorry! And no. I have no idea how much such a move would cost. That’s exactly why I’m asking the question. If you can’t help then don’t worry about it.
28 Jul 2017 14:35:58
Ed002, I think he means buy him now and loan him back for a season!
{Ed002's Note - Whay would Liverpool do that?
20 Sep 2016 19:25:43
I agree with mikey, you need a settled team playing as a unit. Brilliant almost embarrassingly good squad of individuals to pick from, but with that comes it's own problems. Rest assured you will be challenging, but for top 4 I think, not the title this year. Liverpool will be too 4. 😉.
02 Sep 2016 00:39:47
No it isn't a concern is it. They were deemed not to be good enough at Liverpool and no other top teams came in to get them. That's the point. They have gone to what we might all consider to be 'lesser' teams to have a career. The point being that we have not lost any brilliant players this window that other elite clubs ŵere after.
17 Aug 2016 09:47:08
Another day, another stupid post about a left back!
