Evening eds n reds from a v cold and wet wiltshire.

Ed2, do you expect us to get a fee for wijnaldum or will we let the contract run down, as we did with Can?

If so, what value do LFC put on him.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool want to sell him and raise money for a purchase - he could part fund that. The value is of little consequence as you need to then deduct say 25% for costs - so he would not cover the cost of what Bayern Munich want for Thiago. No doubt Liverpool will try and exploit the asking price after an illegal approach and turning his head.}

With all that's going on at Barcelona I personally think we'd be doing very well to get €20m. Everything they do from this point on will be scrutinised. Granted, current financial climate, I reckon the prize of trying to win back to back would be worth the risk of losing gini for free. Provided his head isn't in the clouds however he doesn't strike me as a "diva" for want of a word.

Ed002 sorry if asked before. I know clubs tap players all the time but is this a klopp thing? Has this been a habit of his or is it a fsg thing. Maybe a liverpool thing. I know shanks used to sound out a player years ago and fergie did the same. Its been going on for years. Are we the worst? Personally I think it stinks and its cheating.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Clubs don’t tap up players all of the time.}

29 Aug 2020 07:39:50
We got into trouble for tapping up VVD, and by right, Klopp should learn from that and refrain from making the same costly mistake. Why is LFC not doing anything to prevent klopp from tapping up again?

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2020 17:34:34
DAPred, Do you think it was worth it to tap up Van Dijk?

Hi Eds

With the news that Barcelona are keen on Mane, would Barcelona consider a player plus cash deal, say Dembele?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Try searching please.}

28 Aug 2020 12:17:13
Id rather not consider any player in the deal.
If there is no option then its a 80 million plus coutinho for me.
I think of all players they can sell only coutinho somewhat come close to matching 60percent of goals and assist that mane adds every season. He can play on the left wing because he loves coming inside and shooting.

Akrubbish

Coutinho will need to take a pay cut for this to happen and Barcelona would love this proposal.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 13:58:35
Do you think Dembele would be a good replacement? Or are there still issues with his attitude.

Thanks.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No, it is Klopp who has publicly shown his liking for him.}

28 Aug 2020 14:14:59
He used to live in klopps house or something wgen he was at dortmund i think.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - There was a well publicised that he did not look after the house as well as he should have.}

28 Aug 2020 14:55:10
I heard he trashed it and wasn’t there some talk of him owing rent arrears, Ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No idea.}

28 Aug 2020 15:10:00
Are we sure he lived in Klopp's house? When I read about it a while back, there was no mention of Klopp.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 15:40:20
Definitely was Klopp’s house.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 16:44:50
Dont want Dembele anywhere near Anfield, not good enough at all.

Agree6 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 17:56:33
When fit on and fire
Dembele is class
If klopp could get hold of him and sort out his lack of maturity and focus we would have one of the best players potentially in the world on our hands.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 18:48:23
“When fit”. we’ll leave it just there Johncrow.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 18:49:06
Its a punt really klopp could sort him out Nd he def has abilities but the problem is injuries and sheer lack of commitment to cause.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 18:58:39
Dembele is Far too much of a risk on many levels. No doubt there will be at least one unexpected transfer in.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 20:02:35
Injuries, lack of end product, nothing between his ears, Complete lack of professionalism, injuries, more injuries and he’s literally said he has no desire to play for us. Oh, and more injuries. Other than that, yeah, let’s sign Dembele.

Agree4 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 20:57:49
6times, I completely disagreed when you called Thiago injury prone. However in this case, I make you spot on. I don't understand why Klopp would want Dembele. If he did sign i'd just cross my fingers and hope Klopp pulls off another miracle! Diogo Jota would be the player i'd pick.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 21:11:40
Whatever injury issues Thiago has had, they’re absolutely nothing compared to Dembele.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2020 09:41:16
Dembele is as dumb an idea as Karius.

Luckily, Klopp no longer makes these decisions.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank you for the update Ed002, if Mane does leave do you think Chiesa would potentially become an option or they heading elsewhere?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Federico Chiesa (RW/F) much more affordable than Sancho for Manchester United and of prior interest, but Inter remain keen although talks are now on hold. Radja Nainggolan will be offered to Fiorentina as part of a deal for Chiesa which could ease the transfer through. But Inter feel it is taking too long and may turn elsewhere. Fiorentina are willing to sell in the summer. Should it happen at some point, he would be a direct replacement, has similar attributes to Salah, is liked by Klopp and, although Liverpool have shown no interest. Inter to push for a move for him as soon as they can. And that is the move the player has wanted. Sarri desired the player when at Napoli and he wanted to improve his options at Juventus but it would mean moving on both Douglas Costa and Bernardeshi first - although they are still trying even though Sarri has departed. Napoli remain in some turmoil and unattractive to players whilst they get their act together. Milan interest runs hot and cold, and money could be an issue. Prior interest of Napoli and Roma has gone due to the asking price.}

28 Aug 2020 08:50:08
Plays on the right and Salah has a dead left foot. We need a Left-winger.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 09:45:49
Tyrion Lannister, that left winger we need is called Robbo.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 09:53:43
The knowledge shows no bounds, cheers ed002.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 10:19:05
Chiesa is deceptively good with his weaker foot. He'd be fine either side.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 21:50:04
My god, season starts this weekend. The team is ready to go, stop planning without our front 3. They will be there for the season and future. Champions.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 01:41:26
You said Liverpool have enquired about Dembele, was that enquiry done this summer or previously?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Some months ago. It was discussed at the time so by searching the site you can find out when.}

28 Aug 2020 08:36:06
We enquired earlier this summer (from memory), he basically said he had absolutely no interest in playing for us. The same as he said the other two times before, you’d think that would be enough to not bother to ask him again as he has absolutely no interest in playing for us and has more baggage than a busy airport terminal.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 08:50:26
Again plays on the right. Not what we need.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 11:34:31
You mean like Sadio did before Mo signed?

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2020 14:29:32
Exactly what I was thinking Irishman!
