Ed1 I know we are still early days in the season but humour me if you will. Who would you like to see sold at the end of the season? . I'm thinking some of our very injury prone players may need to go. Interested in anyone's thoughts.

{Ed001's Note - it really depends on who comes in. Right now only Keita and Shaqiri look surplus.}

Yeah I was really hoping that Keita might work out but it's really not happening for him. Would you keep Matip? Good CB but constantly on the treatment table.

{Ed001's Note - we have to as things stand, we can't expect Virgil and Gomez to be immediately back to their best, so we will need him. If we brought in a couple of centre-backs, then I would let him go, otherwise it is just too much of a risk to let him go.}

Do you expect us to try and sign a CB in January Ed? Also do Wolves hold an interest in Origi please?

{Ed001's Note - if one is available that Klopp likes on the right terms (which is the difficult bit and stopped us buying one in the summer) I am sure one will come in. However it is a really difficult window at the best of times, so it might not be possible.

As for Wolves, as far as I am aware the Origi thing was just a suggestion someone made to cover for Jimenez and that got twisted into a clickbait rumour. I don't know if they are really interested or not, but that is where the initial story came from.}

Shaq, keita and unfortunately ox all need to be moved on if there was an option to do so.

17 Dec 2020 21:18:59
And who is going to pay what we want for these crocks?

17 Dec 2020 21:07:56
Ed01 what is your take on the front 3. When would you look to moving one of them on and looking to the next generation? Obviously should bring in some needed cash and it seems we could bring in a young talent to developed with Jota able to slot in immediately. Also having a 17 yr old who looks the part helps moving forward. Which one would you move first? Curious to your thoughts?

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - not yet, there is at least another year in them.}

They are only 28 I just don't get why everyone thinks one of them must go!? And if you think that is too old why do you think other clubs are going to be queueing up to give us their money for them? We should just keep getting the best out of them whilst they are here and performing. As far as wide players go they are unrivalled in terms of sheer ability combined with work ethic, the way they track back and also the relationship they have with robbo and trent respectively is key to why we are so good. Keep them as long as we can and forget Mbappe, Sancho etc. By the time Mane and Salah are done the next flavour of the month will be around who few no about yet. Hopefully we already have one shoe-in with Harvey.

Personally, I do not see Bobbie angling for a move on his own. This is his 6th season here and he seems to love it here and his fam look settled here. Now I know it’s a numbers game and he could b moved on regardless. Thoughts, Ed01?

{Ed001's Note - I would be very surprised if Bobby wanted to go, he is very settled.}

18 Dec 2020 00:21:34
Sorry Ed001 you mention that the "right terms" ruled us out buying a centre half in the summer. Was that Diego Carlos or someone else do you think? And who would you personally like to see Liverpool go for at centre half in the next few windows? Thanks Tris, I don't post very often but always really appreciate your views.

{Ed001's Note - it was a number of players, Carlos was one. Off the top of my head I can't remember who else we showed interest in, Ed02 is better for that, he usually has the info stored in a database. I would suggest a look at Saliba seeing as Arteta will never use him.}

I think keita just hasn't worked out. It seems that he doesn't want to learn our ways or progress.

Origi needs to go. He just isn't up to our level and for his own career needs to move on.

Shaqiri is a great player, can be a bit lazy in the defensive side or his game and tends to be injured a lot.

Origi, Keita, Shaq, Ox, Adrian from the first team squad need to go in Jan or the summer Maybe Milner as well coz of his age and big wages.
New CB definitely needed along with a new forward (only if Minamino also goes) . Integrate Elliot and Clarkson into the first team squad full time next season.
If Gini goes (hopefully he signs a new contract btw), then maybe someone like Laimer or Bissouma would be good replacements.
