Hey Eds. Matip today has been linked with PSG with report mentioning they're considering him as Silva's replacement. Have you heard anything on that front?

{Ed002's Note - No, sorry.}

03 Aug 2020 07:10:30
Why would he go there. He is class, like gomez. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world. PSG are really half a club in comparison.

03 Aug 2020 07:32:06
He’d be difficult (and expensive) to replace as he is a good centre back, unless PSG are offering completely stupid money then it’s an easy “no”.

03 Aug 2020 07:46:02
Because he’s not a starter at the moment, and might be there and probably get twice the money - not saying it’s happening but it’s not inconceivable.

03 Aug 2020 08:42:04
Studoc Money Money Money and he would be first choice. He would win medals every season without fail.

03 Aug 2020 09:03:04
ed001 if it is true and psg are going to offer £50m for Matip what do you think. I would snatch there hand off nothing about the players ability just how much he gets injured. I see it say Matip has missed over 60 matches over a total of eight various injuries since joining in 2016.

{Ed001's Note - take it, you have to when the player is so injury prone. Sad to lose him because he has improved so much into a top class defender, but it is pointless keeping hold of a player you can't rely on to stay fit.}

50mill surly not!

03 Aug 2020 10:08:46
Maybe the club are thinking lovren and matip leaving could free up the funds for Diego Carlos. Hopefully Carlos would stay fit long enough to play the numbers of games matip and lovren played.

03 Aug 2020 10:32:54
Lol 50mill for matip. For a player that's rarely fit we should take the money and run. Buy DC and maybe even squeeze for Lloyd kelly.

03 Aug 2020 10:48:35
Jordz, that is the way i see it. Whilst i rate Matip highly, both he and JG are injury prone, and so should a decent offer come in from PSG, i would take it and buy Carlos.
If we brought in Kelly to replace Lovren, and Carlos as a starter, we would have, probably the best defence in the world.

03 Aug 2020 11:31:18
For 50 million I would bite there arm and leg right off take the money and dash away as quickly as possible .

03 Aug 2020 12:17:34
spaceman I would not say Joe Gomez is injury prone just had a coupe of bad injuries where Matip seem to pick up injuries every time he he gets a run in the team.

03 Aug 2020 13:11:55
When you put it in terms of £50m then it’s harder to say no to be honest, as that’s the bulk of the cost of Diego Carlos.

03 Aug 2020 13:23:03
Are we sure this isn't a typo and it's actually £5m 🤔.

03 Aug 2020 16:02:51
Doubt its a typo. Matip is a world club champion, European champion and Premier league champion so worth 50mill.

03 Aug 2020 16:13:03
Ligue 1 probably suits Matip better in that it is less physical and more technical. And the new Missus probably finds Paris to be more romantic.

I doubt the rumour is true though, because 50 Million is quite generous. I'd take even 30 Million and spend it on a 23-24 year old and secure the next 4-5 years for the same position (in competition with Gomez) . Important thing is to find a backup for VVD since Lovren is gone (he played on the left for Southampton remember? )

03 Aug 2020 16:33:46
Lovern was a world club champion, a European champion and a premier league champion. How come the club didn't get £50m for him?

03 Aug 2020 17:47:17
I won't sell matip for 50 million unless we are 100% sure to get in 1st team defender in.

02 Aug 2020 11:21:03
LB - Lloyd Kelly or Jamal Lewis
CB - Llorente, Ben white or Kabak
Winger - Sarr, Saint Maximan

If we get those three positions signed we’ll have strengthened the team and brought in some good young players who can grow to be top quality.

Highly doubt any other positions will be sought after. Maybe a CM if another leaves eg Milner or Gini.

02 Aug 2020 12:31:55
I reckon if we signed Lloyd Kelly we wouldn’t go looking for another CB as he covers both positions. Out of Sarr or Maximin, there’s potential in both of them that could be unlocked so either of them would be decent options as they’re both big, very quick and skilful.

02 Aug 2020 18:34:14
I'd love us to sign Sarr, been a big admirer since he had his worldie game against us, I reckon between Klopp and his mate Mane, they'd turn him into a beast.

I wondered Eds whether Joe Hardy is being considered for the first team in competition games if Brewster were to go out on loan again?

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what the plans are for Hardy.}

02 Aug 2020 19:04:31
Thanks for the reply Eds! I hope you have a good evening :)

02 Aug 2020 20:14:08
Where has the ASM rumour come from?

02 Aug 2020 22:19:30
RH18 i think Ed001 said that Glatzel would've played cup games if he hadn't been injured. Brewster should stay to play in the cups and Glatzel should go on loan to regain match fitness as Brewster has.

03 Aug 2020 07:14:11
I think if you look at the teams. Citeh need 2 centre bks. Utd need at least 5, Chelsea are not addressing their defence and gk problems. Liverpool have no weaknesses. There will no massive buys world footy is on its arse. Even utd are going 2nd best with Hudson-doi. I think Liverpool will buy but teams have no dough.

03 Aug 2020 12:13:57
Newcastle's win/ lose record with and without Saint-Maxamin is crazy.

If you averaged the points across the whole season when he hasn't played, they'd have finished 19th and got relegated.

If you averaged the points when he has been playing, they'd have finished 3rd and qualified for the Champions league.

For that reason, I think that Newcastle would want an absolute fortune for him. He's an excellent player but because he is so explosive, he might keep picking up injuries.

03 Aug 2020 15:17:47
Milner-won it all. Nap for Leeds without the club standing in his way. Who could blame him?
