The Guardian say we're looking at Robin Olsen as an alternative to Allison and Oblak. Any truth to this? Guardian used to be quite reliable, but not really these days, right?

Would love a fellow Swede on the team, not sure Olsen is the one. Solid guy overall, but not that good with his feet. Pretty good with crosses- would be nice for a change.

We are linked with a new player every day. I doubt there is much truth in any of these players. But if you throw enough mud at a wall eventually some will stick and 1 of these papers will claim to be in the know.

The Guardian are not reporting this at all, they run a roundup of transfer rumours every day, this was one of today’s rumours.

The words "newspaper" and "reliable" don't belong in the same sentence. Newspapers don't care if what they print is true or total and utter bollocks, as long as it generates sales/ clicks.
Before the summer is out we will probably be linked with 60-100 players and maybe actually sign 3 or 4. Amazing how many people read and digest it before coming on here to query its validity.

It is a rumours site flash lol.

The usual crap then. Olsen is just another somewhat random guy linked. Like Cillesen, Pope and the rest.

Agree1 Disagree1

14 Jun 2018 18:38:12
True enough Redhof, but there's rumours and there's just utter made up bollocks to generate clicks. Most of the latter are relatively easy to eke out for someone with a couple of brain cells.

Hi ed do we have any interest in Thomas Strakosha? Few papers reporting it.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - I would be very surprised if Lazio would consider selling him this summer.}

13 Jun 2018 22:25:41
Navas out the blue my prediction but what do I know :)

Agree2 Disagree6

13 Jun 2018 23:30:01
What do you think of him ed? I saw one game against Milan and he didn't fill me with confidence. W.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - not really taken any notice of him to be honest. I was busy watching Lucas when I saw Lazio.}

14 Jun 2018 06:40:34
Davey Sulls, there are barely 5 Gks in the world that could fill a fan with 100% confidence. Just like centre backs, the quality of GKs is really poor right now bar a few exceptions. Strakosha according to some reports is one of the few good ones. Karius also imo is not too bad either (bar the UCL final) .

Agree7 Disagree2

14 Jun 2018 08:36:50
Vikinghawk if we buy Navas that will be the worst spending of £30m since we bought Carroll. Woeful goalkeeper who makes the same mistakes (and worse) that Mignolet and Karius get pilloried for. And at 31 he is not going to improve.

Agree3 Disagree1

14 Jun 2018 08:42:18
Ed01, You mentioned Lucas there, Do you think Klopp regrets letting him go?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - no, it was the right thing for Lucas. I am sure he does wish he had stayed though.}

14 Jun 2018 10:58:53
Do you think Lucas will go to Rangers as been hinted ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - no.}

13 Jun 2018 18:55:07
Eds,

Liverpool and Man U battling for Federico Chiesa. I'm not asking for any confirmation, I'm wondering which news outlets are trustworthy and which are full of BS. This one comes from the Express.

Or are they all lying b*****ds

Cheers.

Believable1 Unbelievable7

{Ed002's Note - I acnnot advise about news outlets but I am not aware of any Liverpool interest in Federico Chiesa - who would be a straight replacement for Salah.}

13 Jun 2018 19:21:42
The Express are just about the worst. What they will do is pick up any story from around the world, attribute a sensationalist headline to it, then publish it.

You know a lot of papers have transfer ‘whispers’ lists? The kind even they know are not true? Well the Express is a whole transfer whispers rag.

Agree7 Disagree0

13 Jun 2018 19:38:19
Hi Ed thanks for that. Can I ask why he would be a replacement is it due to how much he would cost? We saw what happened in the CL final when one of our front three go off. Wouldn’t we buy a player so we could keep rotating them? Cheers.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Why would be move to Liverpool to sit on the bench.}

13 Jun 2018 19:48:47
No not to sit on the bench but to rotate with the other three. If successful each of them could play Over 40 games each and the likelihood is that there will be injuries also throughout a long season.

Agree2 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - it really doesn’t work like that.}

13 Jun 2018 20:46:45
The Express only has 16 journalists (at the last count) covering the entire paper. It might get slightly better now Trinity Mirror have taken it from Murdoch Lite, Richard Desmond. The reality is none of the papers have even the slightest. which is why we should show the eds and this site a lot more respect. *mic drop*.

13 Jun 2018 10:43:29
Passing on what I've heard; The fekir deal is ongoing, Liverpool wanted the payments restructuring and a significant reduction in the fee after the medical, Lyon then walked away, klopp is apparently furious and I mean furious and wants explanations, he's supposedly said "amateurish negotiating" I'm paraphrasing but it was essentially that.

Interesting stuff Waro. The saga continues.

Sounds about right for us involved in any transfer. 😂
Fingers crossed it still happens but what will be will be.

Thanks Waro.

Please, get Fekir already, take the risk, make me happy, move on?

Not this again!
Not Fekir again!

I wonder in which part his furious. Edwards, Lyon or both. I totally get it tho. Going on vacation with the deal 90% wrapped up. Photos, interviews, shirtnumber, and then they can't agree on a compromised figure. Get it done Kloppo. It's a calculated risk. Fekir has been playing more minutes than many healthy players the last couple of seasons.

Agree5 Disagree4

13 Jun 2018 12:42:08
I find it pretty hilarious that jurgen " the rules don't apply to me and I will tap up player's illegally as many times as I want to " klopp would dare criticise anyone else about amatuerish negotiating and transfer dealings. Ridiculous from him if accurate.

I believe it. I still don't think we've heard the end of this saga.

Thank's for that Waro.

Reading some people's responses you'd have to wonder if they actually support LFC at all.

I'm not massively hopeful but I'd love us to sign Fekir!

"How the fekir am I supposed to replace Couts with your fekiring amateurish negotiating 😠"

Agree13 Disagree4

13 Jun 2018 16:17:06
As much as I’d love us to sign Fekir I’m not upset at the club in how they have conducted themselves if this is true.
If the issue WAS the medical surely it’s right that if there’s a doubt over long term fitness that this is addressed, of course Lyon want as much as possible but surely LFC were right to discuss the fee, Lyon didn’t have to budge though.
If I went to buy a car/ house and found something that could cause a fault I’d want to discuss lowering price to cover myself.

Agree16 Disagree0

13 Jun 2018 16:39:06
This is like buying a second hand car which had previous records of an accident. So the buyer wants to reduce the price of the car and the seller refused to do so. As a result the buyer walked out while the seller screamed profanity at him.

But as soon as the buyer 'really' walked out of the door, the seller calls him back. to be continued.

Agree9 Disagree2

13 Jun 2018 16:58:12
Thanks for the info Waro.

Personally I don't believe the transfer will happen. I said it weeks ago and I'll say it today, it reminds me far too much of the Lemar situation last year, everybody saying how it was a done deal and all that BS and nothing ever came of it. I see this situation going down exactly the same way. People pay too much attention to places like 'the firm' (FKFB) if you look thoroughly at their page you'll see how useless they are and how wrong they get it lol and that page is just one of many claiming to be 'in the know'. I'll believe it if the Eds say a deal is imminent or the club posts pics of him in Liverpool shirt but I'd bet a large sum of money we won't see that.

The owners won’t pay 😉.

13 Jun 2018 18:22:04
if the car that I was looking at, was found to be in a crash of any kind, I would just walk away, not worth buying it, even at a lower price, and if a five minute google would tell me that damage was likely possible, now, and more in the future, then I would not invest any time in looking,
take note, any transfer people .

Don’t know why we are trying for fekir. We have lazar markovich in our squad who is in the top 10 players on the planet at the minute. He just needs game time. Also Adam bogdan should be no1. Save us money too.

Agree0 Disagree1

14 Jun 2018 11:21:26
Mo correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t the Lemar deal right at the end of the transfer window with little or no time left for negotiation?
There’s still 2 months left of this window and if you believe the reports Fekir is desperate to come and Klopp is desperate to sign him. I should think after Suarez and Coutinho in recent season we should all know how that scenario usually ends.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire for Zeljko Buvac. He'll be confirmed as Fenerbahce manager later today.
