Morning Ed's, so, the transfer window is drawing towards its end and obviously the priority is sales - are we any closer to cashing in on anyone? And let's say we shift wilson, grujic etc have you any idea whether we may be making 1 more, perhaps a CB (Carlos? ) or after the weekend is Fabinho seen as adequate cover?

Stay safe, and thank you!

{Ed002's Note - LIverpool are trying very hard to sell players and have a Home Grown issue to resolve. That will be the priority right now.}

Thanks Eds, let's hope we can shift some guys, hopefully for their benefit as well as ours!

ed002 what are Liverpool doing with the 2 young keepers I think you said there was interest in Adrain letting him go for free would solve one place and am not convinced his any better than the 2 young lads who both turn 22 this season I think. as for karius I don't know what the club are hoping to get in terms of a fee but I don't think we paid much more than £5m for him so he is another we should just try to get off the wage bill and would again help out with the HG rule.

{Ed002's Note - Kamil Grabara (G) has gone on loan to PAOK Athens. Karius is a prime example of a player who needs to go in the next two weeks.}

Ed's does this mean that its likely we will have to buy some HG/ English players or just ensure that we don't have too many non? if so Its a good way of making players who have stuck around despite bids (shaQ) find a new club. Guess not that many are keen for China atm.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool like others need to move non HG players on.}

Hi Eds, can you confirm our current HG quota please? We need 8 in a squad of 25. I count Joe, Trent, Milly, Hendo, Ox. That's only 5 and considering Curtis, Brewster etc. are.

{Ed002's Note - No, that is not how it works.

Jmv, it's not that a team needs a certain number of HG players. It's that they can only name so many non HG in a squad, Premier league (17) and Europe are different rules. So the problem lies with us ending up with too many non HG who can't be named in the squad or say if a club had no HG players they could only name 17 players instead of 25 (even if they had 30 non HG players)

Liverpool players classed as homegrown. Those with * are trained by the club
Keheller *
Trent *
Williams *
Gomez
Phillips
Ox
Hendo
Milner
Jones *
Brewster *
Wilson *
Elliott
If a playeris aged under 21 he does not need to be registered. We've close to 30 players in our squad and can only register 25 with 8 being home grown, 4 of which must be trained by theclub to be registered in the European squad. We certainly need to move some players on. No point me listing the squad, all fans should know that anyway.

PAOK is in Thessaloniki.

We have 19 Non-HG players, we need to sell two else they won't be registered (Grujic and Karius I assume) . And sell more if we want to sign any more non-HG players.

Would assume Ali, Virg, Robbo, Tsimikas, Fab, Bobby, Mane, Salah, Minamino, Thiago, Jota are def going nowhere. 11
Adrian, Matip, Keita. unlikely Gini, Origi, Shaq, Karius, Grujic. Who makes way if we want to sign a cb?

Hopefully Keita. Gives us next to nothing, not good enough. Would sell him in a heartbeat to sign a top CB.

@Rs15. We wouldn't sell Keita unless we received a substantial bid. I'd suspect close to the amount that we paid for him. I wouldn't hold your breath.

{Ed025's Note - £4.75 would be about fair.. :)

Oh yeah for sure I wouldn’t let him go unless for a fee that at least gets some of what we (over) paid back, say upwards of £30m, but what I’m saying is IMO he’s just not good enough and hasn’t really done anything for us, and if the chance came up to sell him and we were to use the money for someone like Sarr, Carlos etc I’d happily sell!

Wow Ed, that's the same value as the entire Everton first team squad. Surprised you rate him so highly.

{Ed025's Note - i might have gone over the top a bit mate.. :)

@KLoppDog, I would sell Origi, Shaq and of course Karius. With them gone and the current squad, i would only include an English CB from the lower leagues who is able to give Gomez a run and still keep relatively injury free. I loved Fab against Chelsea, but prefer him in a midfield 2 besides Thiago.
I am really excited about this season.
