Ed1 you was fairly critical of Wilmslow awareness earlier in the season, did you see signs of that improving in the last few games, and now we have signed a centre back the one you called for lol, what other additions would you make?

{Ed001's Note - do you mean Williams? Yes, it did improve, but there were still a few moments he was caught, but nothing like as much as his first run of games. A massive improvement I would say.

Bissouma would be the other one for me. And Raphinha if the money is there.}

Yeah was willams lol.

I like Raphinha very hard worker, technically sound and would get plenty assists. But we have too many average finishers in the squad already. That would put me off a bit.

29 May 2021 13:52:48
Would you not want to add a centre forward Ed001? I think a clinical finisher to rotate with (and potentially replace) bobby is imperative. As far as i know Raphina is a right winger so would it make much sense to strengthen that position when we already have Elliott coming back?

I honestly don’t know who the club would go for but if we do get one in i think it’ll be between Daka, Malen or Vlahovic (don’t know if you’ve seen any of them play Ed001 but i trust your opinion more than anyone) . All of this would likely depend on our ability to shift Origi and Shaqiri of course.

{Ed001's Note - I would play Elliott central.}

29 May 2021 14:06:00
Ed1 one is there clear interest in Bissouma and Raphina?

29 May 2021 15:02:39
Elliott seems to bang a few in doesn't he eds? I hope he plays lots. Are we definitely keeping him next season eds. Not another loan? Thanks.

29 May 2021 15:37:58
Where do you get Elliot bangs in a few? He gets plenty of assists but he isn’t ready to play central of a front 3 yet for LFC. As a number 10 he would be much more suited IMO.

29 May 2021 15:34:35
Fair enough Ed001, i can see him having the tools to play as a false nine if need be. Guess we’ll just have to play him and see where he fits.

I just think we need another specialist in finishing to play through the middle, it would drastically change the way we build up play but we have so many great options in the squad now i’m sure we’d work it our. I’m just sick and tired of seeing our forwards play in such a one footed manner, consistently not striking the ball cleanly, never catching the keeper off guard and always hitting the ball way too high as opposed to hard and low.

Basically what i want is a Robbie Fowler clone that is somehow cheap and unknown to every other team on the planet. Wishful thinking.

Eds001 I’m with u pal. bissouma and raphinha all day long. I just feel that raphinha is made for us.

29 May 2021 18:21:07
I was asking the question mark. hence the question mark. I'm sure in out team he will score his fair share. You are like the master of doom Mark 🤣🤣.

Been linked with 2 very similar players in the last 24 hours; Raphinha and Ikone. Neither are great goal scorers, but both are incredibly creative players. I hope it doesn't impact on Elliott though as he's a similar mould to them too.

{Ed002's Note - Both have been dealt with previously:
Jonathan Ikone (RW/AM) Milan have approached Lille about a transfer and it may be possible but Lille want €40M. Milan have lost out on their first choice but will look to including a player in any deal. If Liverpool are interested it would be as another potential Salah replacement I would think. He would be a great deal cheaper than Sancho. Prior interest of Marseille has shifted to a stand out youngster who they see as a huge talent.
Raphinha (RW) Leeds are expecting offers in the summer and want Michael Olise or Emiliano Buendia to replace him should a significant offer be accepted. I am not aware of any approach or declaration of interest from Liverpool at this time but the suspicion is that Manchester United have discussed him whilst enquiring after another player with his agent. Borussia Dortmund have a declared interest but have other preferences for replacing Sancho if he leaves.}

Any view on how much is the price tag that has been set on Bissouma, Raphinha and Sancho Ed? Are those players has a release clause Ed? Thank you for always giving insight about liverpool transfer. Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - Clubs don't have "price tags" on players they are not looking to sell. Sancho would cost a huge amount in transfer fees and additional payments.}
