Hello Eds and Reds. Ed002 is it true that Liverpool is looking at Sevilla's Loic Balde as an addition to the cbs? Is it also true that there a 60 mil clause in his contract?
{Ed002's Note - Loic Bade (CB) Signed in the summer of 2023 but has attracted the attention of Roma and Spurs - so a new contract has been signed this summer adding a €60M buy out clause.}

Thanks Ed002.

I know we say other priorities, but LB must be up there? Milos Kerkez an option? Thought we might’ve looked at Maatsen before Villa got him.
Any chance of getting Van de Ven from spurs as VVD successor?
I see the Gordon / Gomez rumours have started again.
{Ed001's Note - why would we want van der ven? He can't defend.}

Ed001 what do you think of Balde as a VVD successor? Do you rate him?
{Ed001's Note - Bade do you mean? Or am I missing someone you are referring to? Bade is ok, done well for Sevilla but never really stood out as top class defensively.}

Ed1, what players would you like to see added to the squad for succession/ replacement to the likes of robbo, Virg, mo etc. I think the latter 2 would be good for another 2-3 seasons with their conteact situations, mo especially as his life choices will prolong his speed/ fitness etc.
The squads in a good place, another cb and mid would leave it well rounded out and looking very strong to challenge on all fronts.
{Ed001's Note - I am hoping Beck or Chambers can take over from Robbo. Beck certainly looked capable if it is old style Robbo. Chambers would probably be a better fit if it more of a 3 at the back system in possession. Virgil is the one to worry about, there is no natural successor out there.}

We've got 3 young let backs out on loan and it's not been a good week for them Ed001! Beck got bitten, Chambers pulled a muscle and Scanlon has a stress fracture in his back!
Chambers was doing really well up to that point though so hopefully it's just a minor strain and he's back at it soon. Have you seen his free kick goal against Bristol Rovers Ed001? Well worth a look as it was a real display of the confidence he has in his own ability to even try and shot from where he was.
{Ed001's Note - yes mate it was very good.}
