Quansah to Leverkusen reported as being very close, very good business as far as im concerned although it does leave us very short at cb so you can only presume a replacement and hopefully upgrade is lined up as well as konate about to sign.
VVD did promise us a big summer and we are getting it!
19 Jun 2025 18:34:24
Apparently he's agreed personal terms.
19 Jun 2025 19:01:20
If the rumoured €40m is true that is great business. Yeah he’s home grown, but I don’t think he will make the top level.
19 Jun 2025 19:04:04
Hope we get a good fee for him. I hope for something between £25m to £40m fee.
19 Jun 2025 19:16:32
Gomez to Sunderland too. That is leaving us very very short.
19 Jun 2025 19:17:34
Ornstein : Quansah is expected to join Bayer Leverkusen.
A deal is expected to be reached for just north of £34m, and personal terms are not anticipated to be an issue.
{Ed025's Note - i told you Liverpool were rip off merchants KC, Quansah is worth about 30 bob and a dead mouse mate, so if he is worth £34m that makes Jarrad Branthwaite at least £450m i would say, you really are cheeky sods...you will be asking for more than £150k for Curtis Jones next FFS..
19 Jun 2025 19:22:23
I hope your right re Konate. I love the fella. I just won't believe it until he signs. ?.
19 Jun 2025 19:26:04
Pity, i like him and think he will be a good player but the bar is high here. I think Klopp would of kept him but Arne has a higher bar it seems.
Good money for academy player. Happy for him.
This must mean we are in for a CB at some stage this summer.
{Ed025's Note - his agent must be Dick Turpin Funky..
19 Jun 2025 19:50:09
He does realise that Ten Hag will be his manager? Career over!
{Ed025's Note - its never really begun RR, you have fleeced them good and proper mate...he is a joke of a player imo..
19 Jun 2025 19:57:18
No chance Gomez goes to Sunderland.
19 Jun 2025 20:01:13
Quansah looked great under jurgen - I personally think he will go on to be a solid player in the Bundi.
I reckon Gomez will also be leaving and we'll be bringing in two CB's.
19 Jun 2025 20:39:27
I think he can do well at Leverkusen slightly slower league will give him more time to make decisions etc.
{Ed025's Note - i think hes more Accrington Stanley Quality Nutter..
19 Jun 2025 21:01:18
Virgil deserves a percentage of any transfer fee! ?.
19 Jun 2025 21:31:57
Quansah high ceiling but will never reach it.
19 Jun 2025 21:32:46
I’ve seen reports that we have held direct conversations with Hato (with permission from Ajax) . It would be a great upgrade!
19 Jun 2025 21:16:18
Joke of a player is a bit harsh ED025. He's not the best but only 22, currently playing for England U21s, just won the league and could easily improve to be a steady PL player in the future (with a fair bit of hard work) .
I'd personally let him go to Leverkusen for his own career but won't slate him and what he's tried to do for us. Not many youth players get to play so many times for the first team.
{Ed025's Note - maybe that was a bit harsh Brommers, i just dont rate him mate and have never seen him have a good game actually, and for £34m they could have got Mason Holgate who is slightly better i would say..
19 Jun 2025 21:21:17
Very harsh on Quansah Ed. He impressed in Klopp’s last season. Getting hauled off at half time in the first game of the season had a massive effect on his confidence.
{Ed025's Note - how he got a start in the first place was the biggest mistake Flidby, im all for giving youngsters a chance mate but lets be honest..they have to have something about them at least..
19 Jun 2025 21:25:56
Ed025 Didn't Klopp rate him well and call him baby Virgil? In the end I believe Slott did not see his futbol IQ, tendency to make errors, and asked the directors to bring someone else in. It will be interesting to see if there is upside in another system/ coaches.
{Ed025's Note - the Bundesliga is a graveyard for defenders KC so yes i suppose he could do ok there mate..and the fee you are getting is amazing..
19 Jun 2025 22:00:57
Should of sold him the Everton just to spite Ed0025! : ) hehe all in fun mate.
{Ed025's Note - i would take a couple of your players KC i must admit, but knowing my luck mate it would be Quansah and Jones.. :)
19 Jun 2025 22:01:34
I think his problem is that he’s watched Virgil be really calm and composed and he’s trying to emulate without understanding that VVD has impeccable positioning and ability to read the game. He looks calm and composed because 9 times out of ten he’s ten steps ahead of everyone and he’s in the right position.
{Ed025's Note - i cant argue with that mate..
19 Jun 2025 22:02:42
Ed 25 obviously drinking on an empty head in the sun with some of those ridiculous comments.
{Ed025's Note - i dont need ale to be controversial K4pm, but it does help mate.. :)
19 Jun 2025 22:24:21
Irrespective of his talent with Quansah looking Leverkusen bound and Joe perhaps to Sunderland (great signing for them IF he can stay fit) . I really do hope the club has a couple of replacements lined up. If we let them go and can’t get the replacements we want we are rubber ducked, as they say.
19 Jun 2025 22:44:57
I agree with you Ed. £34m for Quansah is outrageous, talk about pulling Leverkusen's pants down.
20 Jun 2025 02:55:49
If both Quansah and Gomez leave, I would love any 2 of Hato/ Zeze/ Ait Boudlal. I think Hato would be a great fit.
I have no idea if that could happen, haha.
19 Jun 2025 22:17:49
Ed025, appreciate your right to an opinion, and I agree he’s not a top quality player, but your comments and harsh.
{Ed025's Note - yeah a bit harsh looking back Tom, but that does not change my mind that he is not a very good player mate...its just an opinion..
19 Jun 2025 23:27:21
Spot on Ed25. take the money and run!
{Ed025's Note - yeah SG, great business mate..
20 Jun 2025 00:08:44
Should have sold him to Everton for the same amount of money we did Leverkusen. Ed25 head would probably explode.
{Ed025's Note - that is one of my worst nightmares Mfahmee, Quansah and Jones signing for the peoples club mate..
20 Jun 2025 00:10:27
I think if Quansah had come through at a club like Everton he’d be thought of a lot more highly simply because he would need to do more defending. His problem is not his defending it’s his concentration.
When you play for a top club you tend to have a lot of time where you don’t have to defend so you have to be switched on when you’re needed. Quansah switches off which costs him.
You also need to be decent on the ball as the opposition will drop deep and it’s up to you to start attacks. Quansah can do that but again he loses concentration and plays casual passes.
I’d expect that to improve as he gets more experience and I think he’ll go on to be a very good player. Leverkusen’s scouts obviously agree or they wouldn’t be willing to spend the money on him.
Branthwaite is a donkey Ed if he’d been at Liverpool he’d be another Nat Phillips on loan for his entire career. Nowhere near good enough to get close to the first team.
{Ed025's Note - lets not put Quansah in the Branthwaite bracket Robbo, you will be saying Curtis Jones is better than Tom Davies next mate.. :)
20 Jun 2025 03:35:16
Ed025 in a meltdown ?????.
20 Jun 2025 07:57:25
Both would improve Everton though Ed’s!
{Ed025's Note - i dont think they make the bench Marty...and im talking about our Ladies mate.. :)
20 Jun 2025 08:15:04
Quansah would walk into Everton's first XI Ed.
{Ed025's Note - come on Flash, Tarks and Jarrad were one of the best centre back parnerships in the league last season mate, i dont mind opinions mate but downright lies will not be tolerated.. :)
20 Jun 2025 08:19:48
I’m not putting Quansah in the Branthwaite bracket Ed. Quansah is a far better player than Branthwaite.
{Ed025's Note - my only response to that codswallop is 5 simple words "lay off the drugs mate"..
20 Jun 2025 08:29:19
Ed025 loves fishing and most of you caught the bait ?? but ed025 is right though ?.
{Ed025's Note - all my bait does contain a modicum of truth ASB, im a bit like the Dalai Lama in that respect guiding my followers through the trials and tribulations of transfer windows and assessing of players and teams, people may not agree with what i say all the time but i wont be ignored mate..hummmmmmm.. :)
20 Jun 2025 09:08:22
Your having a bad time here Ed25 pal whilst agree JQ isn't great and Jones is nothing more than a useful squad option let's not use them to heighten the dross over your side.
JB is poor unless in a deep block defending his 6 yard box same as JT they would not get into any of the European qualifying teams defences.
Cant fault LFCs selling prowess we consistently prove our efficiency in selling unlike in the past where we sold cheap. Credit to Edwards and Hughes!
{Ed025's Note - all Everton,s woes are in the past SSH, and us becoming a force again is gaining momentum, JB is the next big thing mate let me tell you, and your selling is not prowess..its ripping people off...and i dont like that.. :)
20 Jun 2025 09:09:13
All profit too for the PSR rules, great deal, and Jones and Quansah definitely walk into Everton's first 11, those Blue tints are getting stronger the red ones haha.
{Ed025's Note - if you think that AA i must need to go to Specsavers mate.. :)
20 Jun 2025 09:26:31
I know what you're saying about Jones Ed, there are times when he needs a rocket up his backside and I think Moyes would do that, Jones to be fair is exceptional in tight spaces and a player if the team is in trouble is someone who can take the ball, needs to be more confident passing forward too,
20 Jun 2025 09:53:33
Everton are putting a package together to buy Quansah. They've got the thirty bob but they are still waiting for the mouse to die.
20 Jun 2025 10:28:34
How can it possibly be defined as ripping people off?
Like it or not football is a business these days and its primary transactions are the trading of high value assets at a rate dictated by the market and perhaps more importantly the value to which a buyer rates a player.
Nobody ever forces a club to buy a player they agree a fee between all parties.
With regards to JB again my opinion is he is not good enough like many before him. I am sure he will tick along at his current level and may get to conference league level at some point. Overall however I don't see anything special personally but its all opinions and every clubs fans tend to overstate their players ability.
20 Jun 2025 10:40:55
{Ed025's Note - all Everton, s woes are in the past SSH, and us becoming a force again is gaining momentum, JB is the next big thing mate let me tell you, and your selling is not prowess. its ripping people off. and i don't like that. :)
BOOKMARKED.
{Ed025's Note - you will see that I was right WOW. I’m not known as mystic ED for nothing mate ?
20 Jun 2025 11:10:55
Sometimes a player fits a club and the style that club plays. Branthwaite fits Everton and their style which is how he got to first team level.
Everton need someone who can get their head on the ball, block shots and be overly aggressive in the tackle. Branthwaite does that.
Liverpool however, have a different need in a CB. We need players who have pace for the ball over the top, have good levels of concentration when they not doing much for long periods, are good at anticipating where to be and are good on the ball to start attacks. Threading the ball through the lines.
Branthwaite would get destroyed in our setup because he has none of those. He’s Harry Maguire 2.0.
Quansah has more ability on the ball but struggles with pace and concentration so gets caught out. He’s a better player than Branthwaite would be in our system though.
20 Jun 2025 12:40:38
Like the time you got Brands and spent £500m to end up with Walcott and Iwobi?
{Ed025's Note - mistakes were made WOW and we paid a heavy price thats for sure mate, but we have drawn a line under the Moshiri era and this is the start of something big, im throwing the gauntlet down so dont say were not warned.. :)
20 Jun 2025 13:21:43
Ed025 sounds like the pressure of our 20th ? and fantastic window is getting to you ? unless our little wager has pushed you over the edge haha.
{Ed025's Note - im fine with you winning things SM, but you have to know we are coming after you mate, the plan is coming together and we wont buckle like your so called challengers last season..you have been warned.. :)
