Ed002 or any eds who may know.

Can you shed any light on the recent fekir rumours. I know 002 said not to rule him out. So I'm just wondering if something has happened or has someone put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5.

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - It is as I have explained - don't rule him out.}

Reports in France saying we are interested English reports saying we are not and haven't been since the deal went dead. Best thing to do is sit back and just wait if we don't surely we have other targets in mind. Liverpool doing it the old way and keeping everything behind closed doors.

13 Jun 2019 17:20:47
Wish we would go for bruno Fernandes, very much like Bernardo Silva, would be exactly wat we need.

13 Jun 2019 17:33:52
If Fekir does sign this time could we use the LFC footage that was recorded last year or do we have a 2019 version instead?

Recycling is good for the planet after all.

13 Jun 2019 17:38:03
If fakir had a dodgy knee before and we pulled out of the deal why would we buy him now? I hope we do buy him but I thought it was an old injury showing up on scan.

13 Jun 2019 17:45:57
I'm not sure how people struggle with this so much. We messed around Lyon on price because of his injury. Here we are now a year later, he's had an up and down year (probably because of the collapsed move, which happened after he'd already done his interview! ), he's got one year left on his contract so presumably the club now think they can get him a more realistic price given his "issues".

13 Jun 2019 20:22:38
In my opinion and understanding (eds please correct me if I’m wrong) Liverpool were right to ask for a lower fee. Full medical details should be provided by the selling club. During a medical they spotted a knee injury they weren’t told about. Hear it all the time in reference but - if you bought a car and the past owner hadn’t told you the head gasket was on the way out you’d return it or ask for a lower price, no? Also ups nd down season? 9 goals 7 assists? And a decent champions league. He’d be a great addition. But I do wonder what that means for Keïta or Ox.

Midfielders;
Milner
Lallana
Ox
Keïta
Wijnaldum
Fabinho
Henderson
Grujic
Fekir***
Curtis Jones? - made the bench and a few apps, few more this season maybe?

Realistically how many of them midfielders will Still in Liverpool players next season?

13 Jun 2019 20:37:24
All of them Davies apart from Grujic.

13 Jun 2019 20:41:34
His club are touting him about and suggesting other clubs are interested just to increase the money they can get for him. I don't think there's anything in it.

13 Jun 2019 21:55:59
I’d say we could sign him, next best option for us after Brandt went to Dortmund. If he does come I think Lallana will go.

13 Jun 2019 22:44:49
I was just about to say. It's both Grujic and Lallana that I expect to leave. Even after Lallana has said he's staying, I think the club will move him on for anything received over his purchase price.

{Ed025's Note - ten bob and a dead mouse would be fair..

13 Jun 2019 22:51:29
Still gets in your team Ed😛.

{Ed025's Note - your having a giraffe virgil, tom davies cant get in our midfield mate so how the hell lallana gets in is beyond me..

14 Jun 2019 00:38:40
To be fair sigurdsson has that place nailed down - the one that Lallana would go for. At least he’s fairly consistent goal scorer. Useless when not in the middle though.

14 Jun 2019 12:24:31
The inflation of player values is incredible in the English game though, if you think about it. Buy a player, use him for 5 years, and then sell him for more than what you paid. Ludicrous and against all conventional thinking.

13 Jun 2019 23:51:36
come on Ed25, Lallana is not a bad player, unfortunate for him he had a season to forget last year . but I expect him to bounce back . but I don't think there is place him at Liverpool, At his age if he wants first team football then he needs to move on . Everton is a good fit.

{Ed025's Note - we are trying to get rid of dead wood roy not buying it, hes too lightweight for everton mate and has seen better days, in his pomp he was a half decent player but sadly that time has well gone..

14 Jun 2019 11:44:04
This isn’t a dig Ed25 but I honestly can’t think of 1 Everton player that’s as good as Lallana at his best. He was England’s best player a couple of years ago mate.
From what I’ve seen of Tom Davies he tries hard but is lacking in the necessary talent to be top drawer.

{Ed025's Note - i think gomes, gylfi and bernard are way above anything adam can muster these days BP, he has never in his life ever been englands best player though mate...unless your glasses are tinted red..

14 Jun 2019 18:53:37
I don’t see any of those players being better than Lallana I’m afraid Ed. Unless your glasses are tinted blue.
A couple of years ago Lallana had started to score some goals for club and country and was easily England’s best player. I can’t believe you would deny that. Some people have very short memories I suppose.
Bottom line, Everton could do with his quality right now because there not much quality anywhere else in the squad ;-)

{Ed025's Note - its all about opinions BP, the thing is how the hell does he get into our midfield when he cant get into yours?, you must put work horses ahead of skillful players is the only excuse i can think of mate..

13 Jun 2019 16:08:05
I'm not guessing, just passing on the first ever bit of info I've received.
My source is a football agent who used to work out of a football agency in Hammersmith. He's an old friend from school, bumped into him for the first time in few years yesterday.
Not sure if his info is reliable or not, suppose the next couple of days will verify that but he did seem very sure.
Fingers crossed though.

13 Jun 2019 17:01:38
and the rumour is?

13 Jun 2019 17:16:04
He's referring to his post below, Oxlade.

13 Jun 2019 19:05:54
Cheers Zeddicus.

More on Nabil Fekir.

Acc. to Nicolò Schira, Liverpool have reignited their interest in Nabil Fekir and have offered him a contract until 2024. Aulas wants €50m for the player.

Acc. to Romain Collet-Gaudin, Liverpool are interested in Nabil Fekir but would not want to pay €50m, but a sum closer to €30m.

13 Jun 2019 11:50:27
Who are these guys reporting it? Why would Lylnbe willing to accept a lower fee?

13 Jun 2019 12:07:27
Money aside. I would like to see him at Liverpool he's a good player and was really keen to join us last year.
When does he contact run out eds1?

{Ed001's Note - next summer I believe.}

13 Jun 2019 12:17:17
*Lyon.

13 Jun 2019 12:54:00
Nabil Fekir cost would definitely b between 15M-30M pounds. Aulas can't play much more games on this transaction. The guy has only one year on his contract and he knows it is difficult to hold on to a player whose mind is at Anfield having seen his stats decreased last season.
Also, for the doubters you should understand Klopp by now. He wouldn't go for second alternative. Expect Fekir Jurgen Kloop's unfinished business. Once the deal is done don't expect much from the Boss. Y. W. N. A.

15 Jun 2019 11:04:19
For me, I think that Ziyech is the better option, no knee problems can be bought for £25mn and has had a stellar season. I think he already fits the klopp identity with how similar Ajax play to we do. Plus can play centrally in midfield aswell as wide.

15 Jun 2019 14:32:03
I'd prefer fekir myself, ziyech is a nice player yes but I just think fekir has a bit more aggression and suited to us. Ziyech could struggle a bit in England, a player like him loves time on the ball that the Dutch league is perfect for. Tadic was the same for years before he came to England, and now the same he's getting goals galore. Ziyech all round has less suited PL qualities that fekir would offer.

13 Jun 2019 01:06:21
Jurgen Klopp is keen on adding three players to his team.
1.Harry Wilson
2.Ryan Kent
3.Marko Grujic

Dont shoot me, But, I decided to look inward only because I know JP likes to get his players early in the transfer window.Also,we won't be signing as much players as we did last season.YNWA

13 Jun 2019 06:00:32
Who is JP?

13 Jun 2019 06:44:40
John parrot. Must be klopps neighbour.

13 Jun 2019 06:51:57
Jurgen Plopp, obviously. OP is clearly talking about his PES team. They don't pay to use the proper names.

13 Jun 2019 08:59:53
In order for Liverpool to bring in a new midfielder, some players will need to leave. Adding Wilson, Kent and Grujic to the squad would give Liverpool about 16 midfielders, which is not realistic.
