Hi Ed002,
if Mario and Borini leave will Origi stay? thanks

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Origi has only just arrived, he won't be leaving.}

Hey Eds. Is there anything new with Verrati of PSG? Do we hold any interest that you know of?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - There is no interest from Liverpool.}

Ed01 or 02,if sakho leaves are we planning to use gomez/illori/kolo in the squad or will we waste some money on new toys

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - the intention is to use what we have.}

18 Aug 2015 14:13:16
Ed001, with sakho looking likely to leave, does this mean ilori will be used as cover as he was promised game time? i sincerely hope ilori gets the chance this time if sakho is somehow sold as he seems to have things our current centre back pairing is missing- pace and composure. he would allow us to press higher up and play high line. yesterday lack of pace in our centrebacks was constantly evident.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I hope so, but considering Brendan has been trying to sell him all summer, I wouldnt be so sure.}

thanks ed001. Is it both possible Sakho and Illori leave if valuations are met or is it one or the other?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - if valuations are met it is possible both leave.}

Apparently Leverkusen and Roma had bids rejected. i'm assuming the club is holding out to re-coup most of the 17mil for Sahko. Illori I would guess will stay as back up. hasn't really been given a chance. I would guess he will in the cups.

Agree0 Disagree0

I wouldn't hold your breath on ilori being played in a meaningful game anytime soon. Brendan does not like footballing centre backs or indeed centre backs who can defend or have any pace.

Hi Eds,

I have seen a few things floating around this morning. The first is that Sakho will be allowed to leave - I have seen in the past that you have said we've priced him out of a move - is this likely to change? (I hope not!) Secondly, that Balotelli is a target for Sampdoria - given his wages and the wages that Sampdoria would likely be able to offer him, do you see him going there? Would we have to foot some of his yearly salary, if so?

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - I hope we don't lower the price, but it is looking more likely we do. As for Balotelli, we are looking to offload him and so far the only way to do so seems to be a loan with us covering part of his wages. The main sticking point is the amount we have to cover.}

Further proof that BR has lost it completely ( if he ever had it of course ) let's sell Sakho, ignore Illori and keep Skrtel and Lovren - for a change words fail - only 2 games in, 2 decent results, 6 points - but a blind man can see Skrtel and Lovren doesn't work. I wonder if they are on the same pitch they are do far apart at times.

Loan him to a premier league club, maybe he gets good and takes point off our rivals similar to Borini and Lukaku but hopefully scores a few more than Borini

Agree0 Disagree0

Ilori is far more composed than sakho and can use both feet.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Aug 2015 17:31:52
If that is so, Pommy, and seeing as how Sakho is better defensively than Skrts and Loulou, then why on Earth has Ilori not even made the bench.

Oh I totally agree with you, don't get me wrong, I'm just baffled at how BR sees things defensively. It alarms me that we've had two clean sheets and he now probably thinks we're good to go for the season . even though we have t faced any kind of attacking challenge yet.

We have the makings of a very strong team, but unless something can be done with the middle of our D, I fear we'll finish no better than 6th with the potential for 8th.

Agree0 Disagree0

Probably because he is injured my friend

Rodgers likes spending big money on below average players then says he doesn't like them. His heads up his own arse. Sakho is the worst CB I've seen at Liverpool in years, we'll be lucky to get £10mill for him. Lallana and Markovic are in the same braket. Useless.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - I am just glad you are not a scout. Useless.}

19 Aug 2015 08:30:32
So you think all 3 are good enough for Liverpool? £60mill on 3 useless players. i'm glad you ain't the manager. You know naff all

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - did I say that? I said they aren't useless. Which they clearly aren't unlike your ability to judge players. Want to try explaining why you believe they are useless? I won't say think, because clearly thinking is beyond you.}

19 Aug 2015 09:56:10
Most Liverpool fans who actually watch the game properly can see what a good centre half Sakho is,a lot however don't even watch the games properly and see his ungamely style and think he's crap!im pretty sure he had the best pass completion rate in the team last year and the stats with and without him are contrasting in his favour.
How Lovren has somehow managed to get ahead of him after last years disaster season is beyond me and if we lose Sakho I can see it being a massive regret in years to come.

Agree0 Disagree1

19 Aug 2015 12:26:33
So if they're not useless in your option do you think they are good enough for Liverpool? I've been watching the reds home and away for over 30years and go to at least 90% of the games so I have seen them play and they are terrible.
Lallana might be lucky to keep the bench warm once Firmino has found his feet and the other two will loaned out or sold for pennies. Great business!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - not sure how you going to games for 30 years makes you a scout, if that was the case there would be no need for clubs to employ scouts at all. Sakho is our best centre back, the only one that is good enough, his problem is being stuck with Skrtel as a partner. Lallana was never a good signing for us, he wasn't needed and offers nothing Teixeira couldn't do far better. He takes too many touches and is too busy farting about to hurt the opposition. Ability wise there is more than enough there, but he doesn't utilise it anything like enough. Markovic was just not ready for the Prem and again we already had better at the club so it was a pointless signing.}

Hi eds,

Will sakho leave in this month?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - it is certainly very possible he goes.}

18 Aug 2015 11:59:28
what's rodgers' problem with him?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - doesn't rate him.}

18 Aug 2015 12:48:57
Neither do I

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I am sure he won't be losing any sleep over that....}

18 Aug 2015 14:28:42
What aspects of Sakho's play does Rodgers not rate, that Skrtel or Lovren do better ?
Possibly communication / leadership but otherwise bizarre !

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I honestly do not know.}

19 Aug 2015 09:58:26
Id say Sakho is ahead of both those two in leadership and communication,especially Lovren

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Aug 2015 23:55:41
That is a Dear Brendan question

Agree0 Disagree0
