Neil Jones reporting that Shaqiri is left out the squad due to transfer reasons, not fitness. 2 clubs interested apparently.

Do you happen to know the teams in question at all Ed002?

{Ed002's Note - I don't know. Seville interest has gone - Galatasaray want a loan with an option to buy. Interest of Lazio is possible as they have been unable to agree a price for their first-choice player.

Thank you Ed. There hasn’t been any interest from the premier league then?

If we are to sell him I would prefer it to be abroad!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Are these Premier League clubs?}

Hi Eds,

With a loan to buy, is there any loan fee involved or just the final agreed fee at the end?

Thanks.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - There would typically be a loan fee.}

But if he goes will they still look to sell Wilson or keep him as cover until next summer? Or January?

Agree0 Disagree0

Cover for who? Elliott, Diogo, Minamino and Origi as our substitute forwards, or Thiago, Keita, Jones, and Milner as midfielders (Assuming Fabinho, Hendo and Gini even start)?

We can afford to sell both and more, although I hope Grujic doesn’t leave permanently, he looks like he’s going to develop into a classy player.

We have plenty of cover without Wilson.

He needs to leave.

Wilson is awful, nowhere near good enough level for us. Has to be moved on, was annoyed he played last night but guess shop window.

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 08:29:21
If that was a shop window job Dom mate I don't think anybody will buy him lol. On a serious note, although he's nowhere near good enough for this team, good luck to the lad wherever he may end up.

him playing last night was an Edwards masterclass, he can now demand an extra £10m as he started a competitive game for us ;)

Good luck absolutely Salah. What u mean Wyred?

We've just made roughly 35mil off Brewster and Hoever, 2 players who hardly played a handful of games for us and never needed for league and CL squads. Wilson and grujic are also players we've never needed in any recent seasons so if we can make 35-40mill between selling both then that's 70 or 80 million incoming for players that were never involved for us. With the quality players like minamino, jota and thiago recently coming in then those players are even more unnecessary for us. Those 4 sales roughly equal what we invested in minamino, thiago and jota which is an incredible upgrade on strenght. Lovren along with Shaqiri could earn us along the lines of 100mil from sales this summer where we've not lost any first team regular and only players who's loss doesn't weaken us one bit. Incredible business and the likes of Brewster or Hoever may be keen to return down the line if they grow into top players.

We should not be complaining at any business or questioning the decisions or player valuations we make. We nearly always get these calls bang on so I'l support any activity or lack of that happens until the window closes.

Hi eds,

Is it true that Shaqiri omission from the match day squad tonight, is due to interst from 2 clubs, also can you say what clubs and would it be loan or buy?

Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - I really have no idea why he has been excluded but the club would be willing to sell him. I am not aware of any two clubs pressing for him but Seville interest has gone - Galatasaray want a loan with an option to buy. Interest of Lazio is possible as they have been unable to agree a price for their first-choice player.}

Hi Eds,

I've been reading that Liverpool have recently received bids for Brewster, Wilson and Grujic.

I'm guessing Sheff United have bid for Brewster and Burnley are in for Wilson.

Who has bid or is keen on taking Grujic?

Thanks.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Borussia Muenchengladbach and there is a chance of another offer coming as well.}

01 Oct 2020 11:26:20
I like Grujic and I thought klopp was keen to keep him eds? Case of have to raise funds?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The club have made no efforts to keep Grujic and have been trying to sell him since last summer. The club also still need to sell or loan a non Home Grown player and the club are very keen to get some income though selling these players.}

01 Oct 2020 13:44:03
Grujic is a decent player but I couldn't see a place for him in our midfield any time soon.
Fab, hendo, Tiago, gini all well ahead of him. We and klopp I'm sure hopes to get more out of Naby. Jones too. And milner.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Oct 2020 14:29:47
Grujic might play tonight and then they’ll look to move him on.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Oct 2020 18:44:14
Bit risky playing players in a game if we are near to selling them isn’t it?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2020 10:58:13
Kloppdog, millers 35 in January, looks like wini wants out and kieta isn’t doing the business. The know Ed says the club wants to sell but I’d loan him for another year to a prem team to see what he can do week in week out.

Agree0 Disagree0

Grujic and shaqiri sales would be beneficial in terms of not wanting to use up 2 of our 17 non HG limit on 2 players unlikely to be involved for majority of our league campaign. Moving them on gives us more freedom to shape our squad going forward. Kostas, thiago and jota are added places this year and only lovren has so far vacated a space. Grujic and shaqiri are needed to move on. Personally I'd be happy to see origi moving on at some point too but maybe with this season being congested and games played every few days it might be handy to keep him around for this year. I'd like to see us add another defender to strenghten if we can move on the players we made available and receive decent money in return.

Good morning all

Ed I wanted to ask please if you think that Klopp is happy with his CB options this season? As you've pointed out the priority's are to shift on some fringe players like Wilson, Grujic, Brewster etc and also the HG issue needs correcting as priority but if we Do manage to move players on is there still a focus to bring in another CB or will the youngsters be used more. I just feel we are still light in that area.

{Ed002's Note - The issue seems to surround JKlopp's desire for a starter next to Van Dijk and that comes at a Premium and has not been possible. There is less of a desire to add a third or fourth choice at the moment and with the addition of Thiago it frees up Fabinho to be used when needs be. There are also youngsters to consider and the plans to sell Nat Phillips have had to stop so it may be possible to integrate him in to the squad when fit (if space allows). Phillips does not help Liverpool with what will be an undersized Champions League squad though. At the moment, Liverpool need to sell one more non Home Grown player to get back to where they need to be next week.}
