Just read about the article that Moreno's agent said that Real Madrid is interested. Edds any input on this? I rmb something along the line of RM is always his prefer choice and is holding on to that before moving to us. Would we lose him? RM and Barcelona is a dream club for almost every Spaniards.

Believable6 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - There has been no secret to Moreno's desire to move to Real Madrid - and that was enough to put off other clubs being interested in him when he was at Sevilla. Right now I am not aware of Real Madrid showing any interest in him but I am aware that Liverpool have indeed looked at a couple of left backs recently.}

He's replaceable.

He isn't that good yet! The mind boggles with some if these agents!

Agree22 Disagree2

That's the team spirit!

Everyone's replaceable in time, but that approach hasn't served us too well in the last few Seasons. I think we need to follow Klopp principles of keeping our talent and investing in developing a close knit squad and improving our players up through hard work, not trying to sell and buy our way to the title.

We also don't have the funds to Keep doing that . agent/transaction costs and integrating new players means the risks are very high in replacing.

I really rate him and think he's starting to show his best. I hope he stays a long time but can't see it from what I understand if his personal ambitions. I expect him to move on at some point over the next 2/3 seasons and would put money on Madrid being the destination. We do have another great young left back at the club however!

Markovic! Wait.

Seems mad that a player who moaned at the start of the season about not playing would get his agent to start mentioning RM again, there's literally no chance he'd play ahead of Marcelo. I don't understand players and agents sometimes, he'd had 8 or 9 good games recently and suddenly he's going to walk into one of the best defences in the world?

How many people on here thought after 41 seconds of the match. Yea he can go Real Madrid to then maybe think hhmm maybe not at 47 mins. Ha.

Agree2 Disagree7

Lets be honest RM come in for one of our players and offer enough - they will go.

Depressingly accurate Hoola although given our success (or lack of it) in recent years that is hardly a surprise. If we can be successful and win things then we can both attract and keep top players. The onus is on us to make ourselves an attractive option.

Players will always have preferences and, as has been mentioned before, many South Americans long harbour a desire to play for either Barcelona or Madrid (and do so since their childhood) - but when the decision is between Champions League and no Champions League it makes the choice much easier. Hopefully we can amend that this season.

Agree1 Disagree2

Real Madrid will have to pay astronomical fees to get any of our players now klopp is here. This is no weak yes man, IT's JURGEN KLOPP. You think he came to Liverpool when he could have managed any club he wants just to see his players sold? NOT HAPPENING.

Agree5 Disagree3

03 Dec 2015 17:37:46
In the last 2 seasons we've sold 2 players to big clubs, they both wanted to leave, there was a serious danger of a toxic situation and in both cases we made good money. Hardly a situation that says we're a selling club being preyed upon.

Agree1 Disagree1

03 Dec 2015 18:49:20
Can't defend if life depended on it. The Spanish Johnson can go.

Agree1 Disagree8

03 Dec 2015 18:59:09
Both had poor attitudes, one internally one externally, one had huge talent but the other pretty damn average. And Man City you are referring to as a big club? What denotes big? A rich benefactor? If so was that Russian outfit a big club not so long back? Nah MC not a big club in my judgement!

Agree2 Disagree1

04 Dec 2015 07:56:28
Could you see Johnson smashing the ball into the net like that (even if Origi got the credit) or making that run and assist against Ibe? Or tracking back and making that flying tackle in the box in the last Southampton game? Didn't think so.

Yes he makes mistakes as he's young, but he's learning and at least he makes up for it in heart, guts, pace and attacking intent. He's almost perfect for Klopp's gameplan.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - the problem with Johnson is that he was capable of doing any of those things and more, but he simply could not be bothered. His work rate was appallingly low and his attention span was lower than a 5 year old on a sugar rush.}

04 Dec 2015 09:02:13
Purlisssss. there are many better leftback who are more defensively aware than moreno. Yes he 'scored' but he was caught ball watching for Mane's goal.

Agree0 Disagree1

Ed, is this rumour of a RM transfer ban, like Barcelona suffered, true or not?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Yes. It is a little convoluted and rather old news dating back to the Spring. However, FIFA has found two more clubs culpable of abusing the regulations regarding the transfer of minors - both clubs have had two window bans identified as punishment but neither have had the band imposed just yet. One of those clubs offered to voluntarily take a one window ban but that was not accepted. Additionally, a larger number of clubs (double figures) have been identified as potentially falling foul of the same regulations but investigations are now on hold. This larger number does include Arsenal and Chelsea but neither has been asked to defend their position at this time. The only clubs initially investigated were those in the Champions League three years ago - FIFA will have to decide whether to extend the investigation or look to an alternate solution. For now, it should not be a concern for the English sides.}

Thanks Ed.

Hi eds, any truth in the rumour that real Madrid will look to buy moreno for back up to Marcelo? And if so who would we look at as a replacement?

He looks good going forward but can't defend
Has been at fault for far too many goals.

We should offer Chelsea a swap deal Costa for Beneteke!

There was paper talk over the summer that Mourinho wanted him but chelsea board didn't allow it. Costa would fit in better with the Liverpool style of play plus he is a 'hard man', we could do with one of those.

You want a player who has already refused to join us and would rather return to Spain? Not for me.

02 Dec 2015 06:17:54
He's an idiot!

02 Dec 2015 08:34:07
I cannot believe any Liverpool fan would like to see Costa playing for us. Let alone the Liverpool players he has stamped on and kicked!

Classical craziness.

Agree17 Disagree1

02 Dec 2015 10:05:11
Why does Benteke get such a harsh deal of our fans? I think he is a very good, strong player. His goals to games is not bad for someone who's had injuries since joining us and coming into a new team. Given a pre season with the team I fully expect Big Ben to be a completely different player under guidance of a good manager in Klopp.

Just look at his goals. He can create something from nothing. His goal against them was spectacular.

Costa looks like a pug.

02 Dec 2015 12:31:18
Costa is brilliant but no thanks, he's a thug and will just cause the club problems not unlike Suarez.
More than happy with benteke right now.

Agree15 Disagree1

02 Dec 2015 13:49:54
Costa is such a brilliant striker he can score even with his back to target as he had shown last week.

Shake head in disbelief 😧.

02 Dec 2015 15:59:47
i would rather have benteke, his injuries have stopped him showing his best form and i think once he gets fully fit he will be a top scorer for us.

Agree15 Disagree1

02 Dec 2015 16:13:10
Eds do I win the prize for most down voted comment! No one agrees with me! Fair enough, pretty controversial I guess, though in all the criticisms no one actually says that Costa is not the better player.

Some interesting opposing views:

"I cannot believe any Liverpool fan would like to see Costa playing for us. Let alone the Liverpool players he has stamped on and kicked! " - I assure you I am a true red and was chuffed when we signed Paul Ince back in the day despite him having kicked plenty of our players whilst playing for Utd.

Also I agree Costa is a bit of a thug, as was pointed out above so was Suarez and if it isn't too sacrilegious so was Gerrard. Doesn't anyone think we might be a bit too polite as a team at the moment?

I am not putting Benteke down I like him and agree with time he should improve under Klopp but I do think Costa is better and suits our pressing and short passing game . Anyway all a bit academic as its never going to happen.

Anyway love the site and the nuggets of info the Eds give out. YNWA.

Costa is an excellent striker imo!
Would i want him at lfc? Not in a million years. Personally i cannot stand his antics and thus would find it really hard to support him. He would disrupt the team, be too self important and get red cards for fun and sulk like a child when the manager would inevitably have to attack his attitude.

Agree6 Disagree1

02 Dec 2015 18:07:49
Benteke has done well for us so far, scored different types of goals and gives us a threat in the air.

Agree7 Disagree0

03 Dec 2015 18:55:16
Benteke is ok not going to set world on fire but outside of a Barcelona trio and a Bayern Munich and Man City one each, who is?! Certainly not the "thug pug" (steeling a mix of the quotes above)!

Agree1 Disagree1

06 Dec 2015 04:11:04
benteke is quality like most when 100% fit but he just a cog on the lfc machine, i mean when all fit our strike force is really quite awesome, sturridge = world class n very all round striker, benteke=top class at mo but very differant to studge, ings= proper fox in box type who will just keep getting beta, origi= raw talent but still only 19/20 but we all caught a glimpse of what is in there, firmino= quote heir Klopp here " the perfect complete striker, can play any forward roll well, my point here is we just might the best strike force at mo for any given game/style we wanna utilise, correct me if I'm wrong but all other top clubs in prem have 2 top strikers at best we got 3 top class 2 on there way that's b4 our loanees n youngsters, every happy wi our situ'
