We have decided to change the Teams page to be the Liverpool Match Posts page, so look for posts talking about the latest Liverpool match there.
But most of the posts still go to the Liverpool Banter page.

Liverpool set to complete signing of defender Sepp van den Berg, with a medical to take place today. Reds look to have seen off strong late interest from Bayern Munich for the 17 year old, whose preference was to move to Anfield. [Neil Jones].
26 Jun 2019 20:45:40
He sounds an exciting prospect. Hoping not another Kippe.
25 Jun 2019 21:28:06
Liverpool have "zero interest" in Nicolas Pepe and any reports saying they've held talks with Lille are "pure lies".
Liverpool believe their name is being mentioned purely to raise interest in his services. [@MelissaReddy_]
Make from this what you will.
25 Jun 2019 21:59:09
Make from this what you will. what do you think it means? It’s an enigma!
25 Jun 2019 22:05:07
Firmane I think she knows absolutely Zip tbh mate.
25 Jun 2019 22:06:36
Really don’t see us spending 70mill on an attacker that more than likely won’t play unless we tweak the formation and I think that unlikely considering we got 97 points last season and lost one game in the league. So for me that rules out Pepe and Fernandes. A sensible from a risk / money point of view would be Fekir or another player similar that’s available for 50 and under.
25 Jun 2019 22:16:02
Watched him several times. And must admit he looks a very good player! Similar style and build to Zaha but better end product. He will move to a top club in the foreseeable future for sure.
25 Jun 2019 22:13:35
Jordz truth of the matter is mate I don’t see us spending even 50M on Fekir for example. Cornet for 25M ish maybe but can’t see us spending big.
25 Jun 2019 22:21:32
Yeah that would make sense Virgil. I think we’ve missed some pace from the bench at times so maybe Cornet could provide that.
25 Jun 2019 23:01:11
City could bring sane of the bench why cudnt we rotate the front 3 with another, cornet is raw I would like someone like leon bailey bit more tested blistering pace and is jamaican, the new john barnes .
{Ed002's Note - Sane wants to leave.}
25 Jun 2019 23:16:00
I think we will buy someone like Pepe, fekir, Fernandes type. Creative, can play cam or wing, I believe Pepe plays more centrally for his nation, so I would be happy with him. I think there are better players valuable that fekir to be honest, Fernandes looks like he could be a little special, I’d be tempted to go for him.
25 Jun 2019 23:23:02
I have heard he is about too sign a new deal with city ed, not that I am in the know just paper talk, I knew bayern wanted him but I read they cooled interest.
{Ed002's Note - Manchester City have priced him out of a move.}
25 Jun 2019 23:56:27
Melissa Reddy denied that we had interest in Alisson signed a few days later.
Denied we had intersst in VVD signed.
Could this be a pattern? Hope so but hard to see where he would fit unless Salah is going.
26 Jun 2019 02:23:30
ESPN here in the States have reported that the club specifically informed ESPN that Michael Edwards personally called Lille to explain to Lille that Liverpool have no interest whatsoever in the player. Assuming this is true, I find it quite interesting.
26 Jun 2019 07:16:20
I wonder if they do that for all players.
"Hi. Is that fulham? We have no interest in ryan babel. K thanks bye"
26 Jun 2019 08:49:17
Aspas I find it strange that Edwards would ring Lille to say we don't want Pepe. Aspas I would just like to say am not looking to buy your house. Virgilfc as for Cornet I find signing him a strange one to surly Harry Wilson should get a chance before we go and spend £25m on him, Not sure he much of an improvement he would be on Wilson.
{Ed002's Note - There has been a sugegstion of tapping up made about Pepe and I would think that any call would be in respect of that. As far as I know there has not been any illegal approach made. Perhaps slowdog76 should consider what he says about calls to Fulham as that raises another matter about attempted cheating by Liverpool. I would hope that after the last incident the club has made it clear to Klopp that it is entirely unacceptable.}
26 Jun 2019 09:17:16
Hi Ed002, I think you missed sarcasm from Slowdog.
{Ed002's Note - I bet the club would love that sort of sarcasm - after trailing slime behind the board as they begged Fulham not to press charges against them.}
26 Jun 2019 10:02:21
Ed, No illegal approach made as you say but has there been any approach at all?
{Ed002's Note - How many times do I need to keep saying the same thing.}
26 Jun 2019 13:28:57
I think you'll only know the answer to that when you retire from here, Ed.
If the allegation of tapping up was against Liverpool (i'm guessing that was the case) then it kind of makes sense for the club to contact them saying they have no interest. If that did happen (and I won't just take ESPN's word for it), that should draw a line under Pepe for everyone, can you imagine the hot water we'd be in if we categorically stated we weren't interested and then went in with a bid? Lille would report us immediately.
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what ESPN have said but I am not aware of any tapping up in respect of Pepe.}
25 Jun 2019 18:47:22
According to Melissa Reddy,
Adam Lallana has been told his versatility is needed next season.
{Ed002's Note - Right - no effort is being made to sell Lallana or other senior players at this time.}
25 Jun 2019 19:10:19
Bench seat 1, bench seat 2, bench seat 3, bench seat 4, bench seat 5, bench seat 6, bench seat 7.
Arguably the most versatile player in our squad!
25 Jun 2019 19:57:02
TheRedKop, slightly ironic coming from arguably most versatile poster on this site!
25 Jun 2019 18:59:04
Thanks for the confirmation, Ed002.
25 Jun 2019 19:54:56
Hello ED002. With your knowledge within the footballing world, do you think it’s a wise choice Klopp and LFC seem to be taking, not investing in the squad and not looking to move on fringe players if possible like Lallana?
I understood it that the best time to improve is when on top, being most attractive at that point and not investing is standing still.
What’s your opinion on this situation?
{Ed002's Note - The half a billion pounds that many supporters expect to be spent on adding depth to the squad is what I am trying to fight against at all times. The club will look to improve a little where they can and are seemingly more than happy to move on many of the youngsters. But if senior players are to be added then players in the squad need to be moved on. As I have said, I do expect a versatile attacking player to be a target and I expect cover to be provided elsewhere.}
25 Jun 2019 20:22:15
Thanks ED. I don’t disagree with your way of thinking about spending for the sake. I also think what we have was enough to have the season we had. Add Ox and hopefully a fitter Gomez and more settled Keita alongside any promoted young stars and should compete again. But I don’t really know enough about the workings of football. I trust Klopp and Edwards.
Did UTD or now City ever just try and go again with the same squad? Or just one additional starter coming in when they’re on top?
Which is the best way forward. Spurs did amazing without adding but ended with nothing to show? Tough call. Glad I don’t have to make it.
{Ed002's Note - You make a good point about JG and AOC - they will be like two new players.}
25 Jun 2019 21:34:52
As well as JG, AOC, Fabs and Keita will both improve next season. I can also see Trent being even better and Firmino will have a better season. There is much growth and improvement from within. Just 2 senior players needed.
25 Jun 2019 22:13:23
Mellisa Reddy is very reliable. If she told me my wife was cheating on me, I would file for dirvore based on that alone.
{Ed025's Note - shes hit and miss....sometimes she will do the dishes and other times she wont.. :)
25 Jun 2019 23:03:31
Melissa reddy would get a game in my team any day " nudge nudge wink wink" sexy little minx that is .
26 Jun 2019 00:52:19
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more, say no more. Bit of a goer is she? Well, yes, she does go. Bit of a sport? Yes, she like sport.
So, you've had sex then have you? Well, yes.
What's it like?
Sorry, for python fans.
26 Jun 2019 04:23:05
E002, long winded question/ observation here. With City virtually (or the legends being) having 2 quality players for each position, and players seemingly having no problems moving to them knowing this, one of the arguments against Liverpool continuing to invest heavy is that no quality player is going to move to Liverpool to sit on the bench for prolonged periods. While i'm not in the camp of spend, spend, spend, I'm failing to see why to this regard City would be seen as the more attractive option (knowing you may be benched for periods) than Liverpool.
{Ed002's Note - I have explained the answer to this repeatedly. Manchester City has a lot of players who are not content. Liverpool supporters are jealous and obsess about Manchester City players and have no grasp of reality with the expectation that Mbappe will move to sit on the bench. It is pointless me explaining the same thing over and over again.}
26 Jun 2019 08:41:45
Gomez will have his work cut out for him. Matip was immense last season. I don't think people realise how good he actually is.
26 Jun 2019 13:35:33
Clubs, in general, only actively try to sell senior players if they serve absolutely no purpose in the squad (a third choice left back, for example) . Lallana could feature in 15-20 games next season, whether starting or off the bench, so he serves a purpose to the squad.
It doesn't mean a bid won't be considered if it is made, just means he's not being transfer listed or hawked around other clubs.
If Lallana's not happy with his squad place, i'm sure his agent will try to encourage bids.
I love the Football Manager games, but I feel it has played a huge part in supporters wanting to replace all the squad players with people they consider slightly better every season.
26 Jun 2019 09:35:51
Can we have less of the sexist chat please. It’s 2019 . Dishes jokes? Really?
{Ed025's Note - your probably right HB, i never grew up in the PC correct world where jokes were outlawed by the snowflakes of today mate, chalk boards were blackboards and inspection chambers were manholes etc and we just got on with life..
26 Jun 2019 20:14:41
Forgive my agricultural behaviour, It was a compliment, just presented in wrong way, i find her quite attractive ????.
26 Jun 2019 20:11:09
And tissues were man size Ed025. Thankfully I also grew up at a time when you could speak without fear of offending someone.
{Ed025's Note - its gone ridiculous now irish, people are afraid to open their mouths in case the precious public take umbrage mate...as piers mogan would say...."the worlds gone nuts"..
25 Jun 2019 10:20:44
Palace interested in Mignolet.
Any truth Ed002?
{Ed002's Note - They are looking for a number three so it is unlikely. Liverpool has priced him out of a move to Brugge, Bournemouth and Norwich who have all shown an interest.}
25 Jun 2019 12:22:10
Ed002,
I understand that right now we have priced clubs out from buying players but as the transfer window progresses will clubs be more willing to spend money to cover positions? We've seen before that Michael Edwards has sold players for a lot more than fans were expecting. Would you expect players like Mignolet and Clyne to leave still?
{Ed002's Note - If the club gets an acceptable offer and the player wants to make the move. If players are priced out of a move the clubs look elsewhere.}
25 Jun 2019 13:54:26
Do you think we should let him leave?
{Ed002's Note - If the player wants to go.}
25 Jun 2019 18:25:26
Sorry rephrase, does he want to leave? Are we pricing him out of moves he wants?
{Ed002's Note - He has indicated before that he would like first team football.}
25 Jun 2019 10:07:14
Sepp van den Berg is the name lots of websites are reporting about at the moment. Eds, any truths in these reports?
{Ed002's Note - I suspect there is. My notes are out of date but say: Sepp van den Berg (CB) Zwolle kiddie but being watched by a number of sides including PSV, Brighton, Ajax, Lille and Genk - Sampdoria have had a couple of offers rejected - Crystal Palace, Bayern Munich and Liverpool have enquired.}
25 Jun 2019 10:56:29
Liverpool 'win £1.79m race to sign Dutch defender Sepp van den Berg ahead of Bayern Munich with 17-year-old to have medical on Wednesday.
25 Jun 2019 13:01:35
Ed01 can you make a player profile on him?
{Ed001's Note - if I can find footage of him to watch I will yes mate. Added him to the list.}
25 Jun 2019 21:56:37
ed1 please don't lol I feel like a review on a kid is like fuel to the fire for fans. . .
26 Jun 2019 17:53:30
Lots of pace as he used to be a winger before converting to a centre half. That will probably mean that he'll be able to play as an attacking full back too.
I don't think I've ever heard of someone convert directly from a winger to a centre half.
Sure, winger to full back; centre half to defensive mid; even full back to centre mid (ala Fabinho and Philip Lahm) ; but winger to centre half? never.
25 Jun 2019 00:45:16
Drop van der berg is apparently closed to being signed. A 17 year old Dutch cb from zwolle. I have a feeling Bruno Fernandes will now be signed especially now Origi looks to be leaving.
25 Jun 2019 07:27:24
Think u jumping the gun a bit there real betis could not afford wages origi is on now and I would love Fernandes but seems he off too man United, the young kid who knows?
25 Jun 2019 09:55:55
When did origi say he wanted to leave did I miss something?
25 Jun 2019 09:56:20
I heard he is set to have a medical (Van Der Berg)
25 Jun 2019 10:00:31
With a name like that he should be a 1st team starter in a couple of months ????.
24 Jun 2019 21:37:39
Pepe 1st interview leaked online . Is this Fekir mk 2 or is he signing or is it a hoax . Time will tell I suppose.
24 Jun 2019 21:54:30
Pépé 1st interview leaked online? Ha Ha Jesus Christ please stop.
24 Jun 2019 21:58:32
The image looked fake.
24 Jun 2019 22:04:07
Technology these days eh.
24 Jun 2019 22:05:09
Just saying what I’ve seen . Until I see the melwood lean I believe nothing these days .
24 Jun 2019 23:10:27
Holy rubbish it looks real!
24 Jun 2019 23:52:49
Saw the image, ‘first day at melwood’ seems strange when he’s at the Afcon.
24 Jun 2019 23:25:05
He’s in Egypt’s for the African cup of nations. Perhaps he has a double who did the medical and interview for him.
25 Jun 2019 14:08:19
It’s the footage from Naby Keita’s first interview.
24 Jun 2019 19:13:17
Afternoon Eds.
The Times (via Paul Joyce) are running a story about Mignolet, they say the decision has been made that he is staying for the coming season.
Do you have any further info on him at all?
{Ed002's Note - Sorry - nothing new.}
24 Jun 2019 20:38:35
No worries, thanks for the reply.
I'm assuming he has 2+ years left on his contract so as a lamen I guess that allowing for his wages (minus that of his replacements) and resale value reduction it wouldn't be too much of an issue and one less piece of the pre season puzzle to worry about. That being if he was truly happy to be second string. His professionalism has been nothing short of outstanding this season so i’d be very happy if it was true.
24 Jun 2019 22:05:16
I can only assume we will allow him to go IF we find a replacement and IF the offer is right for both us and Mignolet.
As much as I love his commitment and putting the team first, surely he needs to be looking for 1st team football elsewhere?
23 Jun 2019 20:07:52
Ed002, is there any new info regarding Bruno Fernandes of Sporting Lisbon? It seems the news about him has died down significantly. I expect the more likely destination for the player is Man United however have Liverpool stepped up interest or spoken to the club?
{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed except Spurs getting miffed and stepping back.}
23 Jun 2019 23:33:34
Thanks for the reply. Wonder what the reason was for Spurs getting "miffed". Guessing it was to do with Sporting asking for too much money.
24 Jun 2019 00:03:45
he is going to man utd, where as well as getting the wages he wants, he will be a guaranteed starter every week.
24 Jun 2019 07:49:45
Why would you play for a league 2 side?
24 Jun 2019 08:09:28
He is off to Utd MonkeyMad.
24 Jun 2019 16:41:51
Wow, 9 people disagreed so far to my post about Fernandez going to Utd lol. Anyone of those 9 care to discuss please?
24 Jun 2019 18:32:13
I didn't disagree but how are you so certain?
24 Jun 2019 19:18:43
Because we haven’t approached his club or agent or made any offer we’re as both teams in Manchester have and talks are ongoing and possibly now close to an agreement with Utd. We ain’t spending 70M on one player and we have Kieta and Ox next season who didn’t get any game time this season mate. Everything that Ed’s has said on here points to a deal with Utd.
24 Jun 2019 20:45:54
Looks like Fernandes are getting close to sign to Liverpool? Odds have been slashed by bookies.
24 Jun 2019 21:44:25
Slashed by the bookies to get fools to put their money on it.
24 Jun 2019 21:51:07
i literally forget the like/ dislike button is there until someone has a moment about the number of dislikes their post got hahahah.
24 Jun 2019 22:20:51
Faithinworks tbh they are all actually thumbs up mate lol. I’m used to it being up or down so happy with all these likes lol.
Fernandez is off to Utd. I would put money on it if I was a gambler.
25 Jun 2019 00:36:20
the way the odds fluctuate, you could probably hedge and still make money.
I bought fernandez on FIFA he has been great for me. but only when I play him in a CAM role with say Fabs and gini behind him to protect.
Think I got him for 77mil. so it's doable.
make of that what you will . . . lol.
25 Jun 2019 17:45:51
You do realise FIFA isn't real?
23 Jun 2019 11:14:08
Ed002, do you perhaps have a chance to give us un update on the latest forwards Liverpool have shown interest in or have things not changed since the last update?
{Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed as far as I am aware.}
23 Jun 2019 15:21:21
Cornet, Wamangituka and Groeneveld as versatile back ups. Pepe as a Salah replacement if he leaves.
23 Jun 2019 14:21:14
Thanks Ed.
23 Jun 2019 14:21:14
Thanks Ed.
24 Jun 2019 20:06:16
Plain Bread, who is Wamangituka?
