Good morning all. Ed001 a couple of questions if I may.
1)Are the club seriously interested in Fofana?
2)Is/ Could Doak be off to C. Palace?
{Ed001's Note - they have a longstanding interest in him, but I don't expect it to be acted upon this summer.
Possibly, yes. They are keen on him.}
1.) 06 Jul 2025 09:30:44
With reignited interest from Barcelona for Diaz (due to Williams new deal), or even a move still possible to Saudi could you not see us moving this window. It seems if we don’t act this window he will move to a rival instead, and therefore cost much more in the future.
2.) 06 Jul 2025 10:02:30
Rashford on loan to Barcelona is the latest,
3.) 06 Jul 2025 10:23:20
The club say Diaz is not for sale. I don’t see that changing unless an absolutely ridiculous bid comes in from Saudi; Barcelona and Bayern cannot afford or will not pay what it would take to tempt us. Slot clearly really likes Diaz, as he finished the season as our first choice CF.
I think after the devastating loss of Jota, we’ll only allow 1 forward to leave and I expect that will be Nunez. I think even Chiesa will stay now. Hopefully a Nunez x Osimhen swap deal can be worked out.
4.) 06 Jul 2025 10:27:45
That would still allow funds for transfers in my opinion, so I believe they will try again for Diaz.
5.) 06 Jul 2025 10:28:07
We might also see Bayern come back in with an improved offer for Diaz after Musiala's awful injury yesterday, I really hope we keep Doak but would he get any worthwhile game time to see if he is good enough?
6.) 06 Jul 2025 10:33:01
Hopefully the club has insurance in place for Players when tragedy hits them
I do think they will look at Selling Nunez and a replacement for JOTA's spot. Could it be Etikike and Oshimen?
7.) 06 Jul 2025 11:43:48
Did Bayern even make a bid?
8.) 06 Jul 2025 12:37:37
I believe Bayern did not make a bid, they simply inquired as to how much he would cost and were rebuffed.
9.) 06 Jul 2025 13:00:55
Ed001 do you expect Liverpool to try for Fofana next season?
{Ed001's Note - bit hard to say, so much can change in a year.}
10.) 06 Jul 2025 17:37:05
Lyon may be forced to sell based on their current situation. They potentially need to raise 100m now and another 100m very shortly to try and avoid relegation.
If not, they will probably need to sell anyway being in a lower league.
11.) 07 Jul 2025 10:30:54
Does finishing the season as 1st choice CF ahead of Jota and Nunez REALLY mean Slot really likes him? Been saying it for a while now my hunch is that Diaz will not be here next season and once he is replaced with a top younger player im alright with that.
26 Jan 2025 20:18:25
If memory serves Rafa and Pako fell out that's why he left.
1.) 26 Jan 2025 21:21:47
Rafa fall out with someone. I can’t see that Barry.
2.) 26 Jan 2025 21:38:23
Was never revealed exactly *why* they fell out, was it?
Apparently they are talking again though.
3.) 26 Jan 2025 22:04:44
Pako Ayesteran was Rafa’s best right-hand man but sadly they fell out. Both sides have different reasons for the split.
4.) 26 Jan 2025 22:19:15
Wasn’t there something about Pako talking to or leaking info to Chelsea?
17 Dec 2020 08:37:28
Good morning everyone. Really looking forward to Ed001 match review.
1.) 17 Dec 2020 20:23:29
I hope he talks about Moanrinho's living obviously in an alternative reality.
2.) 17 Dec 2020 21:34:12
I know England has a fair few bad pundits, but listening to ESPN's coverage and people like Craig Burley saying "Klopp is annoying me" and "I don't care if it annoys people, I like watching Tottenham more than Liverpool" are enough to drive me up the wall. They make the case that if Bergwijn finishes his chances its 3-1. what about all of the chances we had that went literally right at the goalie? Salah on his right foot scuffing it? Mane drilling the crossbar? 11 shots on target to 2; 17 shots to 8? 74% possession? 813 passes to 254? Sure, someone can make a comment about Klopp not making any subs, but who was he going to bring on? Ox and Keita who are literally not fit? These pundits live in Mourinho's world. I have watched Tottenham several times this year and get no joy from it. They set up to play exact as we expected and got punished for it when they took their best player off the pitch.
3.) 18 Dec 2020 00:26:04
Craig Burley and Richard Keys hate us. They are horrible individuals that get to stay on air knowing their words cause controversy.
4.) 18 Dec 2020 05:24:34
the talking heads can do my head in sometimes. well, actually, the writing fingers on here can do my head sometimes too hahahaha
each to their own tho. Some people laud the pragmatism of Mourinho's style. We were mature and lucky enough (we should admit) to ride the waves and eventually come out on top.
5.) 18 Dec 2020 14:41:07
I don't enjoy listening to football pundits. I find commentators to be really annoying. In my view they spoil the occasion. I would much prefer to watch a match with just the crowd noise. No commentator. No pundit. No idiotic and pointless statistics. We aren't we allowed to just watch the game?
6.) 18 Dec 2020 15:48:38
I just watched the game in full again and just don’t get it. Tottenham basically set up to defend and Liverpool completely dominated the game. We could have killed it off with decent finishing while they were basically limited to 3-4 key moments, while we dominated midfield and created at least a dozen good opportunities. I also think if Son had been subjected to the same scrutiny as Mane vs Everton, he would have been offsides. No question at all in my mind, the better team won.
Special mention to our midfield who were imperious, Bobby Firmino who was brilliant, Robbo who has been my player of the season so far, and Rhys who did an excellent job on Debut.
20 Sep 2020 20:45:03
Why was Henderson taken off?
{Ed0666's Note - injury
1.) 20 Sep 2020 20:59:00
Oh thanks Ed.
{Ed0666's Note - no worries mate hope you enjoyed the game.
2.) 20 Sep 2020 22:11:26
I think it was just precautionary (tight thigh they said on commentary) but also the perfect scenario to introduce Thiago’s skill set to the game.
3.) 20 Sep 2020 21:25:53
I was worried before the game I must admit but 10-15 minutes into the game I started to relax a bit. Now the sending off did of course help us no question there. I was really interested in watching Timo play and plenty of pace but would he suit our style of play? I definitely think we need more cover at CB even tho Fab was just fab.3pts in the bag Ed0666 and extremely happy mateðŸ‘ðŸ˜.
{Ed0666's Note - Yeh I said earlier I’m not sure Werner would have suited us and I stand by that. He’s phenomenal in a counter attacking side. Buying a CB is imperative mate as fab can’t be expected to pull out that type of center back display as an auxillary consistently if god forbid he had to. It was also telling that even tho Matip & Gomez didn’t play Billy the kid wasn’t picked so clearly Klopp doesn’t feel he’s ready to step up.
4.) 21 Sep 2020 07:57:14
I believe Billy was injured according to an injury update on the LFC website so Klopp may still consider him adequate cover.
{Ed001's Note - he was.}
5.) 21 Sep 2020 08:00:13
Was gomez injured? Seemed odd to not even have him in the bench if so.
{Ed001's Note - yes.}
6.) 21 Sep 2020 08:14:09
I thought fabinho was excellent at cb to the point that I’d like to see him there every week. He reads the game well makes great interceptions great tackles and good in the air. Add the fact that he can play a bit as well and I think you’ve got a perfect partner for VVD there. Held his own against a very good Werner on more than one occasion. Thiago with the exception of the challenge for the penalty looked exceptional, I’ll be honest I didn’t see the need for him as we have plenty of midfielders but in 45 minutes he proved with almost every touch of the ball that he’s a different class. Playing with a swagger of someone who has won everything and wants to win more. Liverpool at times looked in a training match just keeping possession and probing for Weakness for long stages. Chelsea miss pulisic and ziyech and will be a different prospect when they’re fit however Liverpool went to a team that want to be contenders and made them look average for 90 minutes. A very good squad developing now with cover across the pitch.
7.) 21 Sep 2020 04:15:21
So we’re all talking about a CB, but Eds, do we know of any actual solid interest in any? I’m hoping you won’t say Carlos.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of anything different to what has been discussed I am afraid.}
8.) 21 Sep 2020 10:36:44
Fab has a mean streak in him, as a DM this is okay, but not as a CB. The risk would be too much.
{Ed025's Note - hes your second best centre back after VVD for me xpertoyin, reads the game very well and kept werner quiet yesterday which is not easy mate..
9.) 21 Sep 2020 10:49:20
I agree Ed025. Gomez is a very good young centre back but Fabinho is just better in every defensive department except recovery pace. He even holds the offside trap better.
{Ed025's Note - he has something better than speed HMB, he has speed of thought, reads the game very well which although hes young gomez fails on imo, just my opinion though mate..
10.) 21 Sep 2020 11:03:48
Was just going to say the same thing Ed. I thought he was exceptional and I think what I liked most was how well he read the game and his calmness with bring the ball out of dangerous situations. With regards to Thiago, I was also one that didn't see the need to go for him but wow, what a player. He strikes the ball so well and effortlessly finds a red shirt. I'm very excited to see more of him in midfield.
11.) 21 Sep 2020 13:25:55
As they say Ed025, the first 5 yards are in your head.
{Ed025's Note - dead right mate..
12.) 21 Sep 2020 13:39:02
I hope we don't sign a Cb think Gomez and VVD are a great pair big games like yesterday Fab can cover with the lower end clubs the young lads can cover if Matip and Gomez are both out. If I could sign one more player I would rather we get better cover for Alisson as Adrian proved last year in the fa cup and champions league he is not good enough.
13.) 21 Sep 2020 07:47:56
Think klopp said billy had a knock too.
{Ed0666's Note - thanks mate
14.) 21 Sep 2020 16:31:38
Can I ask who is Billy the kid? Haha.
15.) 21 Sep 2020 21:42:05
Gomez is far better than Fabinho at centre back.
I'm ok with Fabinho providing cover but no way would I agree with Fabinho actually being better than Gomez as a center back.
Excellent yesterday but if he playing there regularly I think he'd be caught out (lack of pace and strong but a bit clumsy so I think he would give away a fair few penalties) .
16.) 21 Sep 2020 23:14:18
Fabinho played superbly vs chelski. id be happy to see him there, maybe Tiago and Hendo infront of him. Would allow Keita to play slightly further forward. Or maybe play Bobby in a "10" role, move Mane inside, play Jota left channel and keep Salah down the right channel. Either way, and more, we've signed some great players in great deals, giving us a chance of retaining the title. Come on REDMEN. YNWA.
29 Jul 2020 11:57:38
Why did Liverpool not sign Harvetz? Was it lack of money? Or were they even interested in him?
{Ed002's Note - No money and not a player Liverpool looked to tap up.}
1.) 29 Jul 2020 13:40:13
Nice little jab there Ed, you’re quite partial to those. I’m pretty happy with the championship winning midfielders we have right now, so I guess we’ll have to look at tapping up a center back that Klopp so desperately wants?
{Ed002's Note - The statement is correct.}
2.) 29 Jul 2020 16:56:27
Everyone Liverpool look at were tapping them up. I now we’ve done it in the past but surely it’s not every transfer we’re looking into Ed . that would be worrying.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool did not speak with RBL about Werner. Liverpool have not spoken with Bayern Munich about Thiago.}
3.) 30 Jul 2020 07:03:30
It seems apparently every player Liverpool are genuinely interested in signing is being tapped up by the club according to some people.
4.) 31 Jul 2020 10:55:53
For me I’d like to see williams play more at rb and taa in cm I’d like to see jones get more playing time too. I feel like gomez and VVD have a great partnership and would like to see sepp or hoever more involved in first team games. The biggest concern for me as a fan is our chance conversion rate. Also the lack of options outside the front 3 . Our first team is excellent I hope to see Naby play more and get more goals next season. Pressure of 30 years no league is gone I hope they can push on and play with some more freedom. LB and cf the positions I’d like cover for maybe try playing Minamino a bit more too.

Hiya all Ed's and Reds ?. We are a strong club with a bloody strong fan base and we will get through this as we have many times before ok ?. Rome mate me and the little lad are good although he took the tragedy very bad but he's coming back now. We got sorted for the Aston Villa game so he is looking forward to that.
YNWA everyone ❤️.
1.) 08 Jul 2025 13:18:02
I think the first game of the season is going to be a massive panacea. Emotional yes, hard to be a part of, definitely but for players and fans a like we need to get through this. One step at a time and together.
Glad you and the lad are doing better Barry. It is a big swear word tough time.
03 Jul 2025 14:12:42
I'm absolutely shocked lad's and the wee fella hasn't stopped crying all morningI am at a loss at what to say so I won't/ can't say anything.
R. I. P. No.20 YNWA.
1.) 03 Jul 2025 14:52:50
Just hug him Barry and let him know you’re there for him. When he has questions, I know the right words will come to you then.
Life is brutal sometimes, I have been numb and distracted all day.
2.) 03 Jul 2025 15:49:57
Thank you SEA.
3.) 03 Jul 2025 16:47:15
Don't be troubled, Barry. You will always know what to say to your child to comfort him/ her. Good parents are built that way.
27 Jun 2025 09:16:32
A very good morning all Ed's and Reds ?. So with Konate looking very very likely to be going is everyone happy with Guehi as his replacement? Ok for me Konate is not worth the big pay increase he's looking for. Secondly I'm very underwhelmed by Guehi I'm hoping that the club look at someone else but it's not looking likely. Hopefully Guehi will prove me wrong.
{Ed077's Note - look at someone else but who? There aren't too many players that stand out as good candidate to come into the Liverpool team, who are also on the move this window
1.) 27 Jun 2025 09:39:51
Guehi could prove to be a hidden gem.
2.) 27 Jun 2025 09:43:27
I'd be happy with Guehi as a signing but would have hoped Konate was staying. I rate Konate higher than Guehi but he'd be a solid 3rd choice. I would genuinely like some suggestions from posters who they'd preferably go for and who we could realistically get. Price has to come into it aswell, when your seeing the bournemouth lad heading to PSG for £70m getting an England regular in for £45m is not to be scoffed at.
3.) 27 Jun 2025 09:39:03
That's what I am asking Seamus. Is there anyone else or is it just Guehi?
{Ed077's Note - I hear Maguire only has 1 year on his deal ?.
4.) 27 Jun 2025 10:08:13
I know a lot of people on here don't rate Guehi but I'd happily see him brought in as Konate's replacement.
5.) 27 Jun 2025 10:25:02
What will Utd without their defensive leader ?.
6.) 27 Jun 2025 10:35:46
Guehi is nowhere near as good as Konate. Huge step down in defensive ability, physicality and overall quality, as a 3rd or 4th choice and squad filler he’s ok, but nothing more than that. I’m not swayed by him being an England regular either because quite frankly England are rubbish and there’s an absolute dearth of remotely decent English defenders (plus he was at fault for Spain’s goals in the Euros final) . Would rather we go for Bastoni or Loic Bade to replace Konate.
7.) 27 Jun 2025 10:41:14
Guehi coming in as konate's replacement is quite disastrous in my opinion. As a replacement for Quansah as third choice center half, sure, he's mobile and excellent with the ball at his feet when we are on the front foot. He is more like an understudy for Virgil more than anything, and cannot replace Ibou's qualities at all. Is konate really that expendable in people's eyes?
8.) 27 Jun 2025 10:54:59
See that's where the realistic part comes in Victor, were not getting Bastoni outa Inter.
9.) 27 Jun 2025 11:12:25
Akira says the deal w Konate will be sorted - this is the dance prior to the marriage.
10.) 27 Jun 2025 11:32:13
Just my thoughts at presant.
If konate doesn't sign an extension I'd keep him and let him run his contract down. If teams are only prepared to offer 25 million then I don't see the point.
Guehi coming in with konate staying gives us a chance to see how good he actually is in a top teir team. Internationals are hard to judge. If we were to pay 40 to 45 million for him I'm pretty sure we could get the same or more back if it doesn't work out.
It gives us a year to figure out a solution if we need to.
Guehi also solves an issue coming down the road in a few years. Alisson and van dijk won't be around forever and we need some experience in our back line going forward.
Whether guehi becomes a cemented starter or not he definitely adds experience and a professionalism to our backline as a whole unit.
We seem to be interested in a lot of young centre halves and with kerkez Bradley and frimpong already there I worry about the overall experience and a cool head commanding operations in the middle.
Of course van dijk may play another 3 to 4 years which would massively help matters.
Guehi at 35 to 40 million doesn't feel like too big a risk to me whether konate stays or goes. Preferably I'd have konate stay, be it for 1 more year or 4.
Guehi and Hato in together would be even better but for reasons mentioned above I can understand if the club want guehi now and are prepared to wait and take the gamble that hato is still available next year.
If konate does go I think both come in now.
Another point might be that guehi is only prepared to come in if konate is definitely going which makes most of the above pointless waffle. But maybe he also comes in after being told konate is only staying for another year.
Konate staying gives guehi time to find his feet and settle which is worth 25 million in my opinion.
On top of that a solid backline in the middle will help all the other new signings get up and running faster.
11.) 27 Jun 2025 11:58:50
@Ship, I don't rate Guehi BUT that does not mean he will be bad for us. In fact if he signs, I will support him and hope he flourishes. Right now, I just don't think he is what we need to replace Konate.
24 Jun 2025 14:41:15
Lad's do any parents fly over and back on match day? If so who doable is it? Or is it awkward? Just thinking ahead. Thank you ?.

14 Jun 2025 21:39:59
Hi everyone hope you're all ok! Like Ed001 it pains me to post this but Robbo deserves his move to Spain if it happens. If he does go he will leave a Liverpool legend. I think we are ok in that position with plenty of cover in the squad. Also what a statement by the club by getting Wirtz in. I remember when we weren't as successful and other teams getting in fantastic players all I kept thinking was"How can we challenge them now"so I'm sure the other teams will be thinking the same. Anyway YNWA lad's.
1.) 14 Jun 2025 22:00:40
Well said barry mate.

7.) 15 Jun 2025 00:31:13
Why does he deserve a move to Spain? He’s been brilliant for Liverpool but Liverpool has been even better for him. We need to get that left sided defensive area nailed down before we start sanctioning him leaving. We can’t suddenly change half the experienced players.
8.) 15 Jun 2025 04:55:27
Gentlemen. This is what we call EUPHORIA. ?.
9.) 15 Jun 2025 06:30:53
If Robbo goes to Spain or wherever he goes w our blessing. He's given everything to the club and not agitated for a move nor spent two years learning Spanish. That's why he deserves it.
08 Jul 2025 16:44:21
Please Stoneage not Gordon.
07 Jul 2025 16:10:52
No way on Gordon. Sure he falls over as soon as you breath on him.
07 Jul 2025 15:20:15
Here's my 2 cents worth. He's been batting his eyelids at a few clubs now. I wouldn't mind keeping him for his PL experience BUT if stupid money comes in for then off he goes. His replacement would have to be Fofana.
06 Jul 2025 13:00:55
Ed001 do you expect Liverpool to try for Fofana next season?
{Ed001's Note - bit hard to say, so much can change in a year.}
02 Jul 2025 10:32:32
Gordon's Gin anyone ?.
08 Jul 2025 13:31:43
I'm sorry but how anyone could say that it was in"Bad taste"a fan from our neighbours comes and shows sympathy is just way beyond me but as Ed025 said its social media. Any idiot can post what they want in order to get a reaction.
{Ed025's Note - yeah Barry, i have vivid memories of the Hillsborough tribute when a boy and girl wore a 9 and a 6 in their respective teams kits mate and i thought that was fantastic, i just dont understand some people..
08 Jul 2025 11:01:21
That's like saying"My dog ate my homework"?.
07 Jul 2025 17:12:57
Correct Mark and Rome ?.
06 Jul 2025 12:14:45
This is a very close bunch of lad's I've a feeling that they will be well motivated.
06 Jul 2025 12:13:27
Personally I'd keep Diaz. Now I know his end product isn't great at times but he has PL experience and for that alone I'd keep him. Uless a stupid bid comes in from the Saudis then I would drive him to the Middle East myself lad's.
