Hey, Good evening Eds. A question for Ed002. Is there any interest from Liverpool on Matheus Cunha?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

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

Divock has been made available for 20 million euros.

{Ed025's Note - that really should be lira..

Ffs. We’re not going to sell are we?

Has Edwards not proven to you that he knows what he’s doing by now? Give him some credit. You want the club to just give players away? Jeez would you if it were your money?

I love Divock as much as any other player in the team, but let’s be honest he never fit the style of play and after last season it would be unfair to not let him leave. He’s not the best overall player but can take on a man and knows where the goal is and deserves to be in a team where he is starting regularly or at the very least is regularly rotated. He barely came of the bench for us last season.

Agree4 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - I agree mate he’s too much of a ledge to be rotting on the bench for us. I hope he gets a move to a top club and bangs in goals for fun. Classy and graceful guy love him to bits!

05 Jun 2021 07:51:39
Divock is a funny one. He's had enough moments at the very top of the game to know that somewhere in that man there is a useful, powerful forward who drinks pressure like a fine wine. But you contrast that with his average performance which is so casual he might as well be sleeping on the pitch and the question of 'how to price him' becomes a really difficult one. Personally I think that his poor showing over the past 2 years have basically been the result of him realising there is nothing he can do to get regular minutes on this team (after so many big goals remaining a marginal player, however justified, can't have felt brilliant) and that in a team where he will play every game if he does well he will be well worth £20m compared to some others that have moved for similar money recently.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he is just too laid back and that stops him ever showing the aggressiveness you need to be a top player.}

05 Jun 2021 07:56:14
Big Div is a cult hero with some of us, and I don't begrudge him that at all; he delivered at crucial times and moments in the past. Won't be quickly forgotten. Just that times change and people have to move on.

Agree6 Disagree0

05 Jun 2021 09:16:48
I wish him all the best. We won’t get £20m though.

Agree2 Disagree0

05 Jun 2021 09:17:28
i think Div is the kinda guy that will be loved where he goes as he is so casual and easy going.
Unfortunately, he doesn't switch and brings his usual personality onto the pitch, which is way too unfocused and casual. There are other sportsmen who had similar personalities, but once in the game, they are switched on, focused and hungry for victory. Div seems to be missing that.

The story about how Div grabbed the ball and race to put it on the centre circle after scoring in the 95th min against Everton says it all - so light hearted, so casual, yet so unfocused and unaware.

I know am not going to get any likes but origi isn’t good enough for Liverpool fc. Our forward players were absolutely knackered this season and out of form yet origi still couldn’t be trusted to take up the slack. Good luck in the future origi but I’d rather give one of the kids a chance. At least they will have the hunger to fight for a place.

Agree3 Disagree0

05 Jun 2021 09:11:52
Form comes with games. a great servant, never moaned, a well liked figure and I wish him the best and echo sentiments above and hope he bags a hat full of goals wherever he ends up.

Agree6 Disagree0

05 Jun 2021 11:00:18
I agree with Ed001. Big Origi never has shown that determination. He has the attributes to be a far better player, maybe not World Class Brendan Rodgers said he could be but still better than he shows most of the time.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2021 11:08:02
I’ll pay £20 to have him come play football with my kids in the garden at the weekends?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - why mikey?...is your lamppost broken.. :)

05 Jun 2021 13:23:52
14-17M GBP (depending on who you read/ follow) does not seem that unreasonable for him right now, as it is so early in the transfer season. the market needs to develop a little more. the euros and then summer tours can create an opportunity as injuries will likely happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2021 16:34:22
Gets in the way of someone like Elliott or Gordon for me. Not good enough for this club, a couple of tap ins i could have scored against the Toffees and Barcelona doesn't change that.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2021 22:08:17
I have been saying since we won the champions league we should have sold Origi never been nowhere near good enough but he is a club legend now for 3 games against Everton Barcelona and Spurs. But he seem to be like his like one of them cult movies that some people vastly overrated.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2021 11:16:59
Ed025, what is your problem with Origi!? He's scored some great goals for us, not forgetting those countless goals against that blue team in merseysi-

Oh wait, I see now. ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i dont have a problem with him CM he seems like a nice guy actually mate....but hes just not any good, he has scored some vital goals though but its on average about one a year, if accrington or someone like that was looking for a forward i think he would be a good option for them, but any higher and i think hes struggling..

08 Jun 2021 17:20:31
Haha, just messing Ed!

Unfortunately I do think his best days for Liverpool are behind him.

I always wonder what could have been if it wasn't for the blue noses Funes-Mori trying to destroy Origi's career just whilst he was showing massive promise. He obviously has done well but who knows how good he could have been if he never had the injury back when he was on fire.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - we always try and injure your players CM, its the only way we can beat you mate...except when we murdered you on your own midden last season.. :)

04 Jun 2021 17:39:01
Would Brighton be keen on a player plus cash deal for Bissouma? On a similar kind of thing with Wolves that let Hoever go for Jota? Surely one of Wilson, Grujic, Shaq or Origi at the very least would interest them?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - They would rather not sell Yves Bissouma although Arsenal has a player they are interested in. They have no interest in the players Liverpool have for sale and have very clear targets of their own.}

05 Jun 2021 04:27:18
I believe one of the Eds said Grujic would need to reapply for work permit and might not be granted one, so probably a no go for english clubs. I would think they would be more tempted by Nat Phillips, Rhys Williams, not sure about Ben Davies, maybe a loan of Harvey Elliott.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jun 2021 11:08:35
If we sell any deadwood i reckon Biss will be bought. Not before though.
Surely a manager out there fancies a punt on Naby at 20m. There is a player in there somewhere, you don't play that well (RBL) for a few years by chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jun 2021 11:12:36
@spaceman, please don't use the term deadwood for any Liverpool players. Incredibly insulting.

We all know there are plenty of our players available who would be better off moving on but deadwood is a terrible term.

Any truth in the rumour all the non Brazilian based players have withdrawn from Copa America duty due to C.V. concerns? From Twitter so I'm taking it with a pinch of salt.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

04 Jun 2021 19:34:33
I think that was a rumour started by the Brazilian FA, OMM. They wanted to be sure of winning ;-)

Hi Eds, thanks so much for your time. I just read that Odegaard's loan with Arsenal has ended. I believe he is a boyhood Liverpool fan and could be a great attacking option. Any interest from the club?

Also, Matt Ryan could be a very handy number 2 to Ali.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - No and No.}

04 Jun 2021 10:52:04
I believe Adrian will get another year with Liverpool, makes perfect sense to me.

Agree2 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 12:51:10
Word previously was that Kelleher could be getting a new contract that reflects his status as the #2, which he's effectively been off and on the last two seasons. Does re-signing Adrian change that, or is Adrian stepping into the #3 role and will serve as a mentor and squad that that steps in in emergency situations? I like both Kelleher and Adrian, and am just curious what to expect.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 14:34:30
Odegaard is a million miles away from the quality we need. IMO.

Agree4 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 21:14:28
I'd take Odegaard on a loan with an option to buy if that was an available option. I just keep feeling there is a top player in there somewhere and maybe Klopp could coax it out.

However he ultimately ruined his own career choosing Real over us in the first place. 6.5 years later and he's still in limbo.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Jun 2021 10:11:17
United have released Serge Romero. A no- brainer for me to bring him in as Ali’s no 2. Class keeper, never moans if out of the team and light years ahead of Adrian. Loan Kelleher out for experience.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 00:21:41
Obviously a few bits knocking around about Tielemens. Good player but not sure he's what we need given who we have, Curtis coming through etc but just curious what money it would take for Leicester to sell him to another English team? Surely in the £50m range.

Talk of De Paul going to A Madrid also to replace Saul.

I think Bissouma would make a considerable difference to our squad. Could cover Henderson or Fabinho positions.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed0666's Note - Saul would be next level. Bissouma and Nehaus would be sweet also.

04 Jun 2021 02:17:06
All welcome but doubt any arrive. Not a negative reply towards owners at all. Just think focus is away from the middle. Curtis Jones and full support on Ox covers Gini. Don’t disagree one of these talents isn’t required just think it’s a forward player and done, other than sales.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - I politely disagree. I guess we’ll find out within a few weeks.

04 Jun 2021 02:27:26
Is that cause Ox is off? Or that you think/ know midfield is an area of investment? Just interested in your thoughts 666.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - because I feel that klopp knows this isn’t a premiership winning midfield for a variety of reasons and he will remedy it with a midfield player.

04 Jun 2021 07:31:46
The drop off in quality when Henderson and Fabinho aren’t available is shocking, imagine going into a match with Milner, Keita and Ox as the starting midfield? Time to bin off Keita and bring in Bissouma.

Agree3 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 07:51:30
We need a solid mid we’ve lost our fittest one,
Hendo ox Keita love a knock milly is getting on also.

Agree3 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 08:15:24
Ed, any reason why Saul has fell down the pecking order for both Atletico and Spain? Simeone and Enrique both don’t seem to fancy him anymore.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - no idea, I didn't know he had, but he won't get picked for Spain if he is not playing for Atleti. If I had to guess why Simeone is not using him, I would say it is probably because he wants to move.}

04 Jun 2021 08:33:08
Where is Saul going?

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 08:36:22
According to one outlet he's off to Bayern.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 08:46:35
I agree with Ed that we need a new MF to replace Gini. Whilst Thiago and Fab are world class, and we love Hendo, its too soon for Jones to step in . Biss would be a good like for like, and affordable, but i suspect that depends on sales.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 08:52:37
who do you think will arrive please in the midfield area?

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 09:29:18
Potentially go back to our feeder club and nick Ward Prowse :)

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 09:53:44
Ward-Prowse? No thanks. Bissouma is the player we should be aiming for.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Money is the issue with Bissouma.}

04 Jun 2021 10:18:28
Bissouma would be a lot better for us than Ward-Prowse imo. We have plenty set piece takers (even though he is better, we aren't a very tall team anyway) . Fitness wise and closing down he is good alright and would be tidy enough but he's still a level below quality wise I think.

Having one good quality midfield signing who is a fit and healthy player would make a great difference. We have a few too many injury doubts so I would think it's best for Keita to move on and having Bissouma or someone like that instead would be fantastic.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool have no interest in Ward-Prowse - they would like Bissouma but have to be careful how they prioritise the spending of funds this summer.}

04 Jun 2021 11:42:57
Glad we don't have interest in Ward-Prowse and glad we have interest in Bissouma.

Loads on the available for sale list so if we can sell a few then let's hope we can then afford Bissouma. Keita, Grujic, Harry Wilson are three who could generate good money and free up some of the wage bill to cover Bissouma and help the finances in general.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 12:17:14
Wsrd prowse was a tongue in cheek comment. didn't mean to start a reaction, my bad!

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jun 2021 12:15:41
Cheers Ed, appreciate the response. I think we need to start selling to get the funds together, I only hope we don’t price clubs out of players we need to move on.

Agree0 Disagree0
