Liverpool are assessing the squads of the likes of PSG, Atletico Madrid and Juventus to see if there are any loan deals that could be arranged before the window shuts to bolster the midfield. [Simon Jones].

A loan until Nunes and bellingham join, and Caicedo's price normalises a bit.

I don't know if this is true but if it is, scouring the loan market a day before deadline day when you have currently have 9 fit midfielders is pretty damning of our midfield options.

Why can't FSG just come out and say, we aren't selling, we and our mates are making too much money off the LFC name, why would we sell, even though we know we can't take the club any further and we are holding you back.

5.) 30 Jan 2023

FSG need and want the books to be in the best possible shape pre sale, and are not going to suddenly change tact by paying over the odd's for a player when a club like Brighton is asking too much due to the inherent difficulties of buying and replacing players in the January window.

Caicedo is what we need, but the price being quoted is ridiculous.

This season is a write off, Real will give us a hiding, but we'll be back.

They'll sell when the estimated value of the club starts to drop suddenly.

I imagine the estimated value of the club will drop next month when we hit the relegation zone.

I don’t see how a player purchases would necessarily be effected unless, the player is 30 or so.

If there’s a young player like Calcaido is purchased for 60 million, although it appears the club borrowing the money to gain the player, that player would be regarded as an asset of value on the books at his purchase price.

So I may be naive regarding this, but it’s how I see it re money and player purchase.

I’m in the “we have our targets”, they aren’t available this window, similarly the Virgil scenario, we had to wait.

Regarding the team as it stands, I think everyone is knackered, the players had an awesome season- last season, but the guy’s had covered the well documented “injury prone” players whilst playing every single possible game. They are fried atm.

Ounahi just moved to Marsielle for £8 million, and no doubt on a relatively low wage. It will cost us more to borrow some washed-up has-been to spend 6 months wandering round looking disinterested.

The most successful short-term loaning I can remember us having was Paul Jones playing one game for us. Absolute hiding to nothing.

10.) 30 Jan 2023
30 Jan 2023 14:29:22
If we signed Ounahi for £8m people would complain about it being a penny pinching panic signing too, so idk if it's a great example of anything.

Probably the most exciting part of our season will be the battle of the mid table… Can Chelsea ‘buy’ their way out of trouble, compared to our can we ‘wait for targets’ our way out of trouble ;)

Talk about a battle of 2 extremes. All for the ‘both missed top 4 trophy’ ?.

The thing to remember with French owners is that they have a three level pricing structure.

(1) a normal price they’ll charge to other French clubs who aren’t PSG.

(2) a PSG price.

(3) an English price, which is the same as the PSG price, but is followed with “I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries, you English pig dogs” at the end of any correspondence.

Chelsea are building a very strong team now adding Enzo Fernández. wouldn't count them out of a good push for top 4. Lots of other teams also doing good business.
WE are a shambles.

30 Jan 2023 18:23:04
Please don't say anything negative about our owners, you will be labelled as someone that just doesn't understand.

They are brilliant and have really capitalised whilst we were on top. Hope our fall from grace affects them financially cos that's all they care about.

Club Plan : Drop off as far as possible. Lower expectations.
Get 2 midfielders in summer, crack on and finish 4th and say how successful it is and we’re back on the up.

When in reality we could’ve signed 2 nobodys who can Run and finish 4th now.

Chelsea have three good midfield players mount, gallagher, (loftus-cheek would do a good job for us how about a Cheeky bid! ) to sell which would more than pay the 70 million for caicedo.

How much would we make from selling any of are "over the hill" midfield players!

{Ed025's Note - i dont know bond...captain mainwaring is looking for recruits.. :)

Geez people say some dumb things when they’re emotional.

How about this - FSG continue to build the club whilst the guys they appointed to perform on the pitch continue to regret not doing anything in the summer.

magico Chelsea are not building a team, they are building an over sized squad. My little lad smashed it in his game at the weekend, I'm expecting a £50m offer before tomorrow ends.

Hello Ed025, i note EFC are "rolling the Dyche" very good appointment, he already has made his mark on JK when he waited for him in the Anfield tunnel at half time in a premier league match a couple of years ago, when JK went the colour of boiled "Barry White"!

He also took Burnley into Europe, it was no coincidence on a meagre budget that when Burnley sacked him they went down the same season. Burnley lead the championship at present, one hopes they don't swap leagues at the end of the season, the best of luck to him. The amount of vitriol you receive on here will lessen now with him in charge.

{Ed025's Note - he seems a good fit for us bond but only time will tell, he never had the backing at burnley that he probably deserved, mind you of the frying pan for him now with our finances mate..

Walkon 79. Well I'll bet that over sized squad put more of a fight for 4th spot than our injury ravaged bare bone crew we have.
That Enzo Fernández blows everyone of our midfield away alone. That is a good buy.

23.) 30 Jan 2023
30 Jan 2023 20:12:25
Furthermore walkon. is your lad a left wing attacker. believe liverpool are looking for a couple of these in the summer as the haven't got a pot to p. in for the Bellingham fund.

24.) 30 Jan 2023
30 Jan 2023 20:17:23
In a year we’ve got from a world class team to a laughing stock, in part due to FSG’s utter lack of ability to fund the team, or want to.

Transfer-wise we've stood still, when everyone around us has moved forward - so we're going backwards.

@007 “What’s more dumber” …. how about saying the same thing over and over again on a fans forum that carries no weight whatsoever in the LFC club or FSG business decision making processes?

Just as an aside the report of Liverpool looking at midfielder availability on loads made it onto social media early last week and, as usual was hyped up as a ‘sensation’. Of course it wasn’t and is somebody with a lack of thinking capability coming across a bit of ‘business as usual’ data and because of their prior lack of knowledge and general ignorance immediately amped it up for the delectation of those others of equal lack of awareness. Anybody who thinks that the club doesn’t constantly assess the state of the market - permanent and loans - probably shouldn’t comment on the running of the club.

We went backwards last year too, apparently. I know if you keep on saying the same thing when things aren't going well that eventually the disaster-fication may come true.

Isn't "what's more dumber" an ironic statement in itself?
I was spot on about changing "Monday" to "Moanday".

My 1st post for many years. I think fsg have been good owners, yes they have made a few mistakes here and there. But not investing in the 1st when we were at the top, is now coming back to bite them on the ass. If they are not careful they will tarnish all the good things they have done for LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB. yes we are a shambles this year and it hurts watching us play so badly. But let's all hope klipperty can sort the mess out in the summer if we have any money.

Hi Ed002, this might be a tough question and with klopp saying no incomings possibly pointless but what loan options do you think are out there in midfield?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of Liverpool looking for another loaner - Arthur should be fit soon.}

33.) 31 Jan 2023
31 Jan 2023 10:02:43
Hi Ed,
Just a quick question, are we any closer to identifying a sporting director? From my viewpoint we've being embarrassing strategically in the transfer market since Michael Edwards has left, IMO we've wasted £120m on two attackers which were not a priority, Thiago was our only midfield signing in 4 years (Melo loan discarded), it just feels negligent or is it just a question of poor judgement and Jurgen's blind loyalty to certain players?

{Ed002's Note - There is no rush.}

34.) 31 Jan 2023
31 Jan 2023 10:48:28
I highly doubt that Michael Edwards chose which players to sign. Klopp has final say with that regard, I think.

Besides, Edwards is also at fault for giving huge contracts to our players. Which works fine if they're performing but it also created a lot of problems in moving some of them (eg. Keita and Ox) on.

@West Derby Wanderer, "Whats more dumber" You prefer a good stadium, i am the opposite probably like you have done in the past, i have stood on the Spion Kop and watched successful magnificent team's even though standing in "Barry White" surroundings and amenities, i put up with it then and i would put up with it now as the team will always come first for me and not the stadium.

This is a football banter forum which would be quite boring if we all agreed with each other, i "WANDERER" which preference fellow posters would opt for?
