Following Cech's registration, I was wondering whether there are any particular rules on who you can register in a PL squad. Theoretically, can you register anyone? Could Klopp have been named in the squad, for example, or Kenny Dalglish? What about a prize-winning fan, or a horse with three legs?

Disclaimer: this isn't some conspiracy theory, or a criticism of Chelsea, or anything like that. Just a quick little question that occurred to me.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool made a last minute decision to remove VVD from the squad list already provided to the PL meaning that they could add an out of contract player if they decide to do it at some point - or they could add a non-contract player, as Chelsea have done. Before you all get carried away - Steven Caulker is not available.}

Who of note could be added ed, garay, Schwaab does anyone stand out as a useful squad member till January.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware that they are looking for anybody - they have sufficient cover and some very good youngsters as well. It will provide an option should they need it.}

No chance we are signing Caulker. Its a centre half we need, not a striker.

I'm quite keen to see Rhys Williams play more often. He had £80m Nicolas Pepe in his pocket last time out.

Matip, Gomez and Fabinho can hold fort. Williams or Phillips can provide additional cover. Worst case we have Berg and Koumetio in the u23's too.

A panic move for Ezequial Garay, Daniel Schwaab, Adrian Mariappa or Andre Pinto just seems like a waste of wages to me.

Is Caulker still playing?

{Ed002's Note - In Turkey as I recall.}

Correct Ed2 I think it's Alanyaspor.

{Ed002's Note - It rings a bell. Thanks.}

MK, I would go with Rhys Williams also, he did play really well against Arsenal recently, and Pepe found it difficult playing against him . Rhys was part of the Liverpool 2019 youth FA cup winning side,
only 19 yrs old, but can read a game well and is quite mature in his game,
he signed a 5 year contract this year, and made his England U21 debut this month,
so he is highly rated, and would be my choice of giving some cover for VVD,

Is Koumetio injured, does anyone know? He seemed to be climbing the pecking order during preseason, then Rhys Williams leapfrogged him.

I like the look of them both, honestly, although it’s tough to judge a CB at that age. I’m sure Virgil was all over the place in his teenage years.

Storm Lord, Koumetio was injured for the League Cup games, yes. Not sure if he's fit now.

Ditto Nathaniel Phillips, but he wouldn't be able to play tonight anyway as he's not registered for the Champions League, due to our restricted squad size because we don't have enough club trained players.

yes Billy the Kid did pick up an injury, but is ok now, he did play an U23 game I think, but he made a couple of mistakes, leading to goals,
but the French lad is only 17 yrs old, but very highly rated, and from what I have seen and heard, he will make it, right to the very top,
looking forward to following his progress .

Caulker hahahaha Ed02. Is Torben Picnic around?

{Ed002's Note - Another non-contract option.}

21 Oct 2020 17:59:24
Thanks, Ed02. Seems he has overcome some of his mental health issues so happy to hear he is still playing.

{Ed002's Note - I have not thought about him for a while but will see if I can find someone to find out how he is doing.}
