Hi eds, Any interest in ....

{Ed002's Note - annot answer questions about random players - it fills up the page with nonsense.}

27 May 2016 17:53:37
Eds Is there any truth in us being interested in Alex Vidal from barca.

{Ed002's Note - Not as far as I know.}

27 May 2016 18:31:48
I'd hope not, he's done nothing to suggest he's worth looking at and he's not better than we've already got on the books.

27 May 2016 20:57:16
That and Barcelona want £45m for him. um no thanks.

27 May 2016 16:08:46
Liverpool target Niklas Sule confirms he will stay at Hoffenheim.

27 May 2016 10:49:00
Joe Allen to Celtic for 10m.

{Ed007's Note - That's never happening at that price.}

27 May 2016 11:32:47
That would smash their transfer record by almost double. Do people even think when they make this stuff up?

27 May 2016 11:26:48
His hair is worth that much alone.

27 May 2016 11:30:26
Rodgers is at Celtic so would be much more than that!

27 May 2016 12:07:05
Given that he is in his last year of his contract, £5m is more likely.

27 May 2016 17:34:00
Celtic couldn't get near wee Joes wage demands. If he leaves I would think it more likely another English Club.

27 May 2016 18:59:42
Didn't Rodgers say he'd be a £30m player by now? 😄😄.

27 May 2016 11:50:07
But he's got that great "Character" 007 mate, that adds on about 5m on top ;)

{Ed007's Note - We've got enough characters up here. I jus can't see Liverpool selling their best player this summer.}

28 May 2016 06:13:12
Sorry guys missed the $ off my original post.

27 May 2016 08:44:06
The Times claim Liverpool are willing to offer Jordon Ibe as bait to tempt Southampton into selling their coveted star and Jürgen Klopp wants a player to match high intensity pressing game.

27 May 2016 08:58:55
Would be a massive shame to see Ibe leave. Yes he had a patchy season, but this kid was still a teenager for most of it. Let that sink in, a teenager playing first team professional football at Liverpool FC. There is a talent there. Too much was put on him as Sterlings successor. Ridiculous expectation.

If he goes, then good luck to him and he'll be doing himself a huge career favour playing under Koeman.

Hope this story is just that and he is going nowhere. Loan at worst, but not selling him.

27 May 2016 09:40:21
Which coveted star?

27 May 2016 10:37:39
The one who scored more than any liverpool player last season.

27 May 2016 10:11:10
Mane? I'd like us to keep Ibe, be a bit silly to over spend on potential and at the same time sell the potential within the club.
And that is coming from me who is yet to be in any way convinced by Ibe. Can't imagine Ibe would command a huge fee anyway.

27 May 2016 10:15:23
Mane, apparently.

27 May 2016 11:11:11
Who ever said Ibe was supposed to be Sterling's "successor"? Certainly no one with a clue.

27 May 2016 11:11:28
ohh i don't want anymore players from Southampton please.

27 May 2016 23:17:51
They can have Poison Ibe for free!

28 May 2016 00:19:07
Like to see ibe stay, think the lads got lots to offer. seen some great stuff in spurts, and from a teen.

29 May 2016 19:59:39
Play him through the middle and his one on ones would yield better results. Can also bully the opposition.

26 May 2016 19:59:45
Ed001, I noticed that you said on the Southampton page that they are one of many clubs that have enquirered for Jordan Ibe. Which are the other clubs? And also do you think it'd be a mistake to let him go?
Many thanks Ed and I want to say a big thank you for the tireless work that you do for all the sites!

{Ed001's Note - Boro was another, as were Rangers, off the top of my head. Yes I do think it would be a mistake, we need to keep talented players and help them realise their talent, rather than letting them go too soon..}

27 May 2016 02:46:15
Watford, Bournemouth and Southampton too.

27 May 2016 07:24:51
I think a loan for a season would do him good, the expectations of our fans are too high and it puts too much pressure in the younger players to deliver.

27 May 2016 07:48:29
Thanks for the reply mate.

27 May 2016 10:10:51
We should keep Ibe, give him another season to prove himself.

27 May 2016 11:27:44
He doesn't pass the ball and when he does, it's poor most of the time. It's not a one man show out there and this boy doesn't seem to want to understand that.

27 May 2016 12:28:45
i think that's a very unfair statement. Because he's playing out wide he's expected to take on players and get towards the byline to put a cross in for our other offensive players. Because he's young he's obviously still learning his trade and will make mistakes. He's obviously been coached to play like that and had a knock in confidence at the start of the season but he's defo a talented player with bags of potential. Totally agree with KopDogs who said on another thread "why should the club overpay on young players with potential and be so quick to get rid of young players already here with bags of it because they had an indifferent season? "

27 May 2016 14:42:47
Id be gutted to see Ibe go. Really like the kid a lot. If he does go hopefully just a loan :)

On the topic of wingers i would like to see Marko back to though i feel quite unlikely to happen.

27 May 2016 19:39:20
I doubt Ibe will be sticking around. I don't think he has the quality, fair enough he can beat a man but I think he's selfish and when he does cross there gennerly not good enough and he offers nothing going back. Maybe he has the potential to become a decent player but we need better than decent.

People keep saying that we let youngsters go too early, never given enough of a chance etc. But how many that we have let go have gone on to better things. I honestly can't think of one.

Dani Pachecco people said never got a chance hasn't set the world on fire. Adam Morgan had been dubbed the next robbie fowler but again we hear on here he was never given a chance. Think he is living the high life in Colwyn Bay. they're just two i thought of off the top of my head I'm sure there are 100s more, also maybe a success story or two there but my point is Klopp will know who he thinks is good enough for his team, I can't see Ibe being part of it.

Finally I'm not player bashing or trying to disrespect any players that is just how I see it. Hope I'm wrong too.

27 May 2016 20:03:42
I wouldn't mind him going on loan there, I think that would do him good.

29 May 2016 11:44:56
Matty, the problem is that his crosses don't reach the target and he doesn't pass the ball, it's a fact mate. 2 assists in 41 appearances!
One completed cross! For a winger this is a nightmare statistic.

26 May 2016 18:43:39
Hi Ed's, do you know if there's any teams showing interest in Moreno?

{Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware.}

26 May 2016 17:58:37
Hi Eds,

I remember a couple of years ago we had first option on Will Hughes of Derby. As deals for Zielinski and Dahoud are looking less likely, would he be a player we would consider for centre midfield.

Personally I always thought he was a classy player and I think Klopp could do great with him.

{Ed002's Note - There was no option and interest seems to have long gone.}
