Anybody watching Anfield Agenda on YouTube? Apparently there's news coming out that both Allison and kelleher could be sold in the summer.

Not sure on Youtube for Liverpool news,

He's got a few things right over the years but is probably most famous for saying Jude was ? coming to us.

Anfield Agenda talks about rumours that come up in the media. He doesn't know whether a word of it is true or not, and tbf I don't think he attempts to pretend he knows either.
20 Nov 2024 21:50:53
Anfield Agenda hasn't got to a clue about transfers. like the rest of us . he's just a fan.
20 Nov 2024 23:22:17
He posts different about players every day. It’s just click bait. I believe he used to be on here as a poster.
21 Nov 2024 00:01:45
The Alisson and Kelleher "news" was "reported" on the TBR website and summarised in BBC Gossip on Wednesday.
As above, he's no where near 'ITK' he's just a regular fan discussing gossip and rumours from mainstream tabloid sites - much like we do!
21 Nov 2024 00:07:54
By the way, to save you watching his next video, Walter, BBC Gossip for Thursday includes:
We're battling with Newcastle to sign Mbeumo
Man City are like to win the race to sign Wirtz ahead of us and Real Madrid.
We're likely to have a bid of £17m for Cherki rejected by Lyon who are holding out for £29m.
Forest want more than £70m for Murillo who we are apparently interested in.
All from tabloid sites, all likely untrue and all likely to be "discussed intelligently" by Anfield Agenda and other Youtubers and apparent ITKs.
You're welcome :-)

lol is that the bull*shot you watch? ??
My hope for the goal keeper situation is that Kelleher gets his move in the summer and we keep Allison, Mamardashvilli for 2025/ 26.
2026 we let Alli walk for free and one of the youth continue to step up as backup.
21 Nov 2024 07:30:20
Why not sell both and keep Mama as No 1 and Jaros his backup. We are making it a habit leaving players out the door for nothing. Alisson can bring at least 30 mil from the Arabs. Why not use it for a top cb and a top no 6?
{Ed001's Note - because Alisson is the best in the world and Mama can't play the way we do - think De Gea and you will have an idea about him. Great shotstopper but hates to leave his line and poor at kicking the ball. We are not set up to play the way that will get the most out of him.}
21 Nov 2024 08:06:16
I can’t see the logic in not learning from our current contract situation. Why would we let the best goalkeeper in the world leave for free? He’s got nearly two years left on his contract, if we’ve learned anything it must be that now’s the time to start negotiations with him.
21 Nov 2024 08:03:53
Morning Ed001. Hope you’re well. I know your thoughts on Mama but do you think they’ve seen enough in him to think that they can coach him to become the keeper they want? Injuries aside I don’t see how anyone replaces Alisson for a couple of years at least but there must be some good reason why they bought him?
{Ed001's Note - they bought him because he was being offered around at what they felt was good value for later resale. Hughes was probably under a lot of pressure as well, having done f all in the window up to that point, apart from fail to bring in players. He was bought to be flipped, rather than to be used, Chelsea-style. Stick him out on loan for a few years, hope he plays well and his value goes up and you resell him at a profit. If he does magically develop the ability to play the way you want him to, then great, but you don't send the lad out on loan if you want to coach him into being what you want. He is not going to learn it playing for Valencia.}
21 Nov 2024 08:23:01
Ed001. I hope this is not the Chelsea model we’re going to follow. I get buying players they perceive to have resale value but I’d reckon it does little to build confidence in players at the club looking to build a career. Hopefully Ali stays fit and happy at LFC and we can bring through a backup keeper who feels he has a realistic prospect of taking over in time. I like Kelleher but share your views that he is just not quite good enough. He does probably deserve a No 1 spot somewhere but just not with us. Thanks for your thoughts.
{Ed001's Note - Chelsea were the top team in England when they began this model, it is a large part of the reason they fell away. Your focus should only be on putting the best team possible on the pitch, extra earnings should only be to help you do that and should never impact on that. Unfortunately, you can't possibly manage the time and resources effectively to avoid it negatively affecting the first team picture. For starters, every player you buy is unsure whether they are being bought as they are seen as having a future at the club or whether they are just looking to flip them.
I hope we never go down that route. The only way to do it successfully is to have lots of feeder clubs, ala City, and shift them around the group according to their level. Then they will know if they are making progress, as they move up the chain. If they are not moving up, they either have to knuckle down and work harder or get moved out in favour of someone better coming up. It is better for the players' mentality, which is better for winning matches and trophies - that should always be the deciding factor. What enables the club to win things should be the sole driving motivation of everyone at the club.}
21 Nov 2024 08:37:05
Agree totally. Winning matches and aiming to win trophies is always what the club should be about. That’s much more likely to happen if it’s a happy ship and players know where they stand. Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

Anfield agenda is the worst of the you tubers moans constantly about fsg, no transfers, transfers he wants, players he doesn’t like etc, . he is a complete ?️end .
21 Nov 2024 09:22:19
Assuming Allison wants to stay in Mama’s first season, then the benefit of having him at the club to help Mama settle in far outweighs any financial gain frmo selling him in the summer.
21 Nov 2024 09:34:09
That guy is an absolute bellend and just repeats rumours and stuff he's seen on Sky, BBC or Fabrizio Romanos page!
21 Nov 2024 12:43:19
I do wonder about the wisdom of letting Kelleher go. I'm not a gk expert by any means, but how big is the gulf really to warrant all this mad succession planning if Mama can't play out from the back. I'm sure others here know better.
21 Nov 2024 17:25:57
Is Anfield Agenda based on Bolton?
21 Nov 2024 20:28:43
@Faith, Ali indicated just before / around the start of the new season that’d he’d be open to extending his stay. We have arguably the best goalkeeper alive on the planet wanting to stay, surely offering him a new contract would be the best thing to do.
21 Nov 2024 21:15:53
Ron, yeah but he's lost weight and isn't a kid anymore.
21 Nov 2024 22:57:29
WDW3 - yup got that. But I'm not imagining we're going to have both Alli and Mama for an extended number of years. We'd have to have one of them as the #1 from 2026 onwards imo, hence being ok with letting Alli go at the end of his current contract.
22 Nov 2024 21:16:40
Fair enough @Faith, my view is that I don’t see any issue with having Ali and Marma at the same time. I thing a bit of competition for a spot in the starting line up (any position, not just GK) can never be a bad thing.
23 Nov 2024 09:51:26
WDW3 - I definitely don’t disagree with that. But I think at goal keeper is probably the most difficult position to do it.
My ideal scenario was that we’d keep Kelleher and he would just take over. But given Kelleher’s comments (fair enough too) and then we signed Mama, it seems the Kelleher ship will sail.

@Negativeredwalter2.0, Jude did came to us via song. Don't it make bad ok!
