hello ed's of the names that have been mentioned by a couple of ed's plus Macca who do you see arriving and departing this transfer window, I personally ignore the press since I found this site so value all of your input, I'm getting fed up of reading that fekir is 99% done for example.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - I understand Macca has provided the definitive list. I am told it doesn’t include those everyone here have been saying are already agreed like Lemar, Sessegnon and Maddison.}

20 May 2018 21:52:43
ed02 your playing with us the pool followers with half a brain. know that Lamar sessegnon and maddison aren't happening,

That question would be almost too hard to answer grajac, although outs you possibly could guess, but ins (unless already done) is still up in the air! It depends on if we get all our first targets in or not to start with, let alone 2nd or 3rd, as wasn't Salah 3rd choice last summer?

Hello Ed's and reds hope all is well, can't wait for the final next week, I don't usually post these type of rumours but one of my mates cousins who works at anfield claims to have seen Ruben Neves outside the ground making his way inside. Just thought I'd pass it on.
Enjoy your evening all.

Obviously we would all like Neves to sign for LFC, but if he was discussing contracts etc you would imagine he would probably visit the London offices with his agent. But we live in hope of course.

A good old fashioned rumour.

Is this why ED02 does nt do transfer updates? Completed upstaged. Hope Neves claimed the back Seat, but surely he'd take a taxi.

Neves has an identical twin brother who sometimes stands in for him for transfer negotiations, girlfriends, driving tests, and occasionally playing on those weekends Neves gets a 3/ 10. So, there could well be something in this.

21 May 2018 16:40:15
Hi eds 002, Neves is not England because he is in Liverpool Country as per Sakho.

Hi Ed’s, any truth to all the nonsense regarding Anderson Tallisca? Can’t find anything on the search engine. Cheers in advance.

{Ed001's Note - his coach said he was moving club and that is all, there was nothing in regards to Liverpool.}

20 May 2018 12:30:13
By 'moving to rival club' I believe he means any club in the premier league and not us specifically.

Agree5 Disagree1

20 May 2018 12:43:30
More of a Jose signing to me lads. I don't think it's us.

Thank you Ed001. Thought as much!

20 May 2018 16:18:46
It's because the quote referred to him being a cenk tosun rival next year and the rags have decided it must mean Liverpool. I agree with you guys he looks like side show bobs replacement.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - The English side in negotiations for Talisca is not Liverpool.}

I think it's wolves if I'm not mistaken.

EDS please continue providing input on Liverpool page, you're extremely valued here.

I read an article stating the difficulties Arsene Wenger had in the past signing his Wishlist.
I can't recall if he said when he tried to sign Messi 'the deal was difficult because he was sponsored by Nike' and also Barcelona didn't want him to leave.

Which made me curious -> In this day an age
'Do signing players have a great impact on whom the individual is sponsored with which could prevent the deal going through'?
Or is this all just semantics and it shouldn't affect deals at all, it does seem silly if this was the case.

Love your work!
Thomas T.

{Ed002's Note - Thank you for the kind words. I can answer this as it is nothing to do with transfers. You can sort of forget the Messi to Arsenal matter as it dates to when he was a child (14 or 15) and the sponsorship extended to payments to thec player and the club for certain reasons - that are now no longer allowed. Add to that Barcelona were not open to letting him go - it was never an option. However, later Messi did turn down a transfer to one side who had agreed to meet Barcelona's then €250M price tag, and Barcelona and a commercial partner resisted an approach by a commercial organisation on behalf of an English side with an offer to buy, or at least part fund, the purchase of the player. I am also aware that in Spain there was speculation about an offer being made during the summer 2014 transfer window, but it is "largely" incorrect. This all started in 2012 when in mid December Anzhi made an offer to Barcelona that matched the €250M euro release clause that existed in his contract, and put up what I am told was a "very" significant personal package. However, Messi was not interested in a move to Russia and Barcelona did not want to sell - so Messi, in early February 2013, extended his contract with Barcelona. In the early summer of 2013 efforts were being made by Adidas to broker a deal that would get Messi away from Nike and to one of their three high-profile clubs that they were invoved with at the time. Very quickly Real Madrid were ruled out and with Pep Guardiola moving to Bayern Munich that pretty much saw the end of any chance of a move there (given the strained relationship) at the time. This left Chelsea, and I can confirm that discussions were held about making a firm bid - at this point we are in late 2013 and early 2014 and Messi was in a verbal spat with Barcelona about getting a further extension - which the club were against. Ultimately, the player was (at least in his eyes) available during the Spring of 2014 and at that point Chelsea and Adidas made his management representatives and Barcelona aware of what they would be willing to do to make a transfer happen. Since then he has again extended his contract with Barcelona and Chelsea and Adidas have parted company. More recently Manchester City tried to broker a deal but it was not to be. For now Messi stays and those around him will be replaced.}

Brilliant. One question Ed, you mention that in the summer of 2013, Adidas were trying to broker a deal for Messi to leave Nike and join with one of their main clubs, my question is how could the sponsor have that much influence over potential transfers? Especially when the play in question is the most expensive player on the planet. Would they simply approach RM, BM and Chelsea and make a case or is it something else?
Many thanks.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - It was a financial influence. Adidas would have profitted from a move to Chelsea for Messi. THe amounts of money Nike and Adidas put in to football is far, far beyond what other sponsors do.}

Bit rich considering we're currently serving a ban and the whole vvd affair,

20 May 2018 12:26:53
Whilst we were involved in both of the above, that doesn’t mean teams can do the same to us.

An eye for an eye leaves 2 men blind.

20 May 2018 12:37:54
Just wondering when did we get a ban for VVD? I think you need to check again.

Agree9 Disagree7

20 May 2018 12:43:32
Port red didn't actually say we are serving a ban for vvd mate, he said we are serving a ban (the youth ban I believe) and the whole vvd affair.

Agree10 Disagree0

20 May 2018 12:45:31
he said serving a ban AND the vvd affair. liverpool are currently not allowed to sign youth players: the ban and were reported to the fa for tapping up vvd.

Senol Güneş, Besiktas coach: "[Anderson] Talisca has unfortunately gone. He was gone halfway through the season. I can't tell which team he's transferred to. A rival of Cenk [Tosun]. "
That must be Liverpool then.

Current trending on social media says that it is Man Utd. One "journalist" went so far as to say that he had already signed. MUFC account says that Mourinho is interested but reports of an agreement are not true.
