Hi Ed02. Is there any possibility that Liverpool could sign Sporting defender Goncalo Inacio.
I have looked on the site and elsewhere and have seen very little transfer news on him recently.
With several names no longer available to Liverpool, could he be an option, or would Sporting still refuse to deal with Liverpool, due to recent conduct. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Goncalo Inacio (CB) Watched by scouts from a number of PL sides, including Liverpool and Manchester United, with the latter declaring an interest. The other side to declare an interest is PSG. Real Madrid offer a wildcard option. Sporting would rather not sell and are looking to a new contract and an increased release clause. Newcastle have begun talks with Sporting in order to be able to speak directly to the player and to understand if there is flexibility in the payment schedule. Arsenal interest would have departed with the signing of Timber. The player has also been offered to Chelsea but they have preferred options for a long-term Silva replacement. The player is open to a move to Manchester United. Liverpool have likely burned theri bridges already.}

Honestly quite unbelievable that our conduct is still so amateurish and unprofessional that clubs actively refuse to deal with us. Culture at the club needs seriously evaluating.


2.) 06 Aug 2023 09:45:40
The amount of times we have lost out on a player or had to spend more just to stop a complaint going in is shocking. This is the one side of Klopp and the club that I really don’t like and the fact that it still happens after 7 years just shows that we thing we above the rules! Just stop .


3.) 06 Aug 2023 11:44:21
If we're persisting with this 3box3 system then Inacio is tailor made for the LCB role in it. It doesn't look like we're willing to go back and repair the relationship with Sporting any time soon though.


4.) 06 Aug 2023 12:10:05
Thanks for that detailed answer Edo2. That's another defender crossed off the list.


5.) 06 Aug 2023 16:12:19
We ain't buying no defender. more excuses to follow. We couldn't get the right player and other teams wanted them too, the players we wanted weren't available ect ect. This club won't move on till fsg sell up.
What's the crack with making interest known in players like kone and thuram and then just walking away. I don't get it myself.


6.) 06 Aug 2023 23:39:41
Magico - ed2 has already given you a couple responses that explain why 'x' player isn't coming. and none of those responses have been had anything to do with the owners.


7.) 07 Aug 2023 18:22:50
Wait, I thought the anti FSG Brigade tell us everytime that they are the sole reason we can’t sign players. I did not know Klopp tapping platers up was another one. Who would have thought?

BRover, I do agree with you, there are several players in the PSG team who are arguably too good for the French league. Neymar knew the standard of football there before he signed. He and his father were more interested in money than sporting ambitions. I am sure player power will get him out of there though.

Greenflash

1.) 21 May 2018 21:44:49
What do you mean player power? Do they not want him there?


2.) 21 May 2018 23:14:58
I have wondered about mbappe if he will ever reach his potential playing in the French league. I think one of the eds has said he may well end up at Madrid, but he needs to be tested.


3.) 22 May 2018 00:08:02
I think it was more a list of predictions than anything, definitely not a list of done deals.

Oh well, maybe Lavia and Gravenberch then.
If Caicedo is set on Chelsea, then that is fair enough, as they do seem to have put the most effort into signing him.

Greenflash

1.) 11 Aug 2023 13:25:15
IMO It has to be Lavia and Florentino not Lavia and Gravenberch.


2.) 11 Aug 2023 14:06:15
Green maybe I'm being naive here but joining Chelsea over Liverpool isn't really his option at the minute

Chelsea have stated they will not offer the 100m plus that Brighton want, hence all their bids have been rejected. Liverpool made a significant bid over that figure that Brighton accepted

It's not about the 'work Chelsea have put in' is it? It is simply making a bid acceptable to the selling club, hence our failures with Lavia

Look, Chelsea might well come in with a bid to match Liverpool, they may not, but as it stands only Liverpool have made an acceptable offer

The thing most people seem to forget in this is that Brighton simply do not need to sell him - they would rather keep him. They sold MacAllister to us for 35m and the keeper to Chelsea for around 25m, they do not need the money. They value the player and do not wish to sell but will if a very large bid is received in excess 0f 100m

As it stands, until Chelsea actually match that bid, his options are to go to Liverpool or stay at Brighton - he might well prefer Chelsea but until they match Liverpool's offer, they are not an option

Gotta love transfer season though lads, everything changes in a heartbeat haha.


3.) 11 Aug 2023 14:11:50
Florentino won't happen. Southampton might now ask £70 mill for Lavia. we have screwed ourself.


4.) 11 Aug 2023 15:43:31
Nonesense.


5.) 11 Aug 2023 16:39:59
Bill, I think it is about how hard Chelsea have been trying to sign him, as they have sold their project to him. Caicedo allegedly has no interest in joining Liverpool
Liverpool should forget him and concentrate on other options. Would you really want a player who has no interest in playing for Liverpool.


6.) 11 Aug 2023 18:00:55
I agree Alonso. We know the money is there so let’s get someone who wants to come. Disappointed in Caicedo’s attitude but if he wants to join Chelsea let them pay the fee.


 

 

04 Jun 2020 22:10:24
I understand the Chelsea/ Werner deal is agreed in principle. Seems to me Liverpool can also make a sensible offer for Werner if they wish.
If Liverpool are not prepared to pay the asking price, then good luck to him at Chelsea. Should have just paid the asking price after tapping Werner up, maybe Liverpool will in the end.

Glad you understand 👍.


2.) 05 Jun 2020 07:04:28
We played cheap politics and paid the price. Expect a retaliation from Mr Klopp If he wanted him bad! I am happy it ends like this. At some point the club needs to learn a thing about conduct.

Ed's, Can I ask your opinion on how highly you rate Mo Salah. Having just read about his goal scoring and assists record on the bbc website, he really is an outstanding talent. In fact he is up there with the very best.
Comments in the media about Salah being under appreciated by the fans, myself included as I've moaned about his greediness, contradict what he does on the pitch. I think Salah is in the top 5 attackers in world football and I've changed my mind on on him, as previously I have not given him the credit he deserves for some reason.
It will be extremely difficult to replace his goals and assists when he does finally leave. let's hope we get 2 more years from him.

Greenflash

{Ed001's Note - he is a fantastic player. It is not just his goal scoring, it is that he draws defenders to him. He creates space for other players too.}


1.) 08 Mar 2020 11:11:12
Thanks Ed, I do try mate. :)


2.) 08 Mar 2020 11:21:28
He is deceptively strong and is never really injured. 20+ goals in 3 consecutive season. He is a wonderful player and one of our best in the modern era.


3.) 08 Mar 2020 12:06:34
Salah is in the top 3 attackers in world football, let alone top 5. One of Liverpool’s best ever signings.


4.) 08 Mar 2020 12:24:21
if he gets 20 league goals this season he will be the first Liverpool player to do that since Sir Rodger hunt. his running in behind never stops so he never gives defenders a minutes rest must be so hard to concentrate for the full game without switching off for a minute.


5.) 08 Mar 2020 12:44:10
His first season probably set too high a standard and expectation, he was phenomenal. Now he's not been as prolific in the goal stats, it was always going to be difficult to replicate the number of goal he scored we don't take into account the other ways he influences games.

As good as he his, I still don't think he's our best player though.


6.) 08 Mar 2020 12:58:41
Super player,2nd only to Shearer in the Premier League era after a hundred league games. i'd actually like to see where he'd be on the list for assists for the same period, I'd imagine he'd be right up there. doesn't seem to get the same love as Sadio and Manè but the guy is a phenomenon, not just on the good days but also on days like yesterday where he never hides but instead demands the ball over and over and over again. forever hungry for goals, and that shouldn't be looked at as a bad thing.


7.) 08 Mar 2020 13:45:52
Exactly my thoughts, occupies 2 or 3 players at once, loads of goals, second only to De Bruyne on assists and so strong on the ball. I think he probably is world class and it will be a sad day when he leaves. I've read plenty of times here, that if Liverpool were to lose 1 of the front 3, then they would choose Salah as he can be replaced easily. Good luck trying to replace his goals and assists.

{Ed001's Note - yeah I don't know how you replace any of them. The likes of Werner are different players and it will mean the whole side has to adjust.}


8.) 08 Mar 2020 16:37:06
Grino did he not nag his 20th on Saturday?


9.) 08 Mar 2020 21:38:56
Mo Salah is a world class, international super star. He needs no introduction. His numbers are phenomenal over a 3 year period and he is not even a cf, which is a true testament of his immense talent, ability, mental toughness and desire to improve and be the best. I would not trade him for ANYONE.


 

 

26 Jan 2020 21:38:06
Don't know what the fuss is about really. Liverpool rested their entire 1st team, gave returning players like Lovren, Matip and Firminho vital minutes and the youngsters gained experience too. We are still in the cup and if we play the same starting line up again at Anfield we will win.
The replay is not ideal but it was a cracking cup tie and all credit to Shrewsbury who will hopefully make a few quid from it. The most important thing is the league and I was happy to see a changed 11 today.

Greenflash

1.) 26 Jan 2020 22:34:34
Looks like the replay will be the same team minus Minamino, Matip, Lovren, Origi, Fabinho, Adrian. So basically just the kids. looking forward to it!

Ed02, With the crazy transfer fees and wages for top players, is it becoming a real possibility that a big European team could be wiped out permanently by overspending?

By that I mean current successful teams and well known Euro teams such as Inter and AC Milam who are not the forces they once were.
Are clubs taking huge financial risks in the hope of getting back to the top table of European football? Thanks.

Greenflash

{Ed002's Note - Inter resolved their financial issues - Milan have other problems. In terms of vast spending and wages clubs are constrained by FFP and commercial income so the chances of it happening should be reduced. Clubs like PSG and Barcelona have to balance the books.}


1.) 03 Aug 2019 18:52:57
What about anzhi makhalahla*? I remember they spent big money one year only to seem to need to offload everyone asap soon after, was that an example of a club who's expenditure put them into big trouble? I don't know what their current situation is.

{Ed002's Note - No, Anzhi is not an example.}


2.) 03 Aug 2019 20:21:28
Aye i didn't really have a clue how they operated to be fair, seemed like they had a naive strategy anyway.

Nice work Nevada, you post rumours on a rumours site. I do not understand how you can be criticised for that. Most of us appreciate the input but there is always somebody looking to shoot you down.

I believe Ed02 said that any new investment was in FSG and not Liverpool.
Which means Liverpool fc may not benefit or see any extra funding for new players. Hope I'm wrong on this.

Olired, why denigrate MK for player bashing and being OTT in his comments relating to Gomez.
I clearly recall you explaining at length why Matip is crap, It was a real hatchet job, so I guess you were player bashing, which was not helpful.

@Sean Ireland, that's fair enough. I think the fanbase are evenly split on whether to keep Thiago, not so sure about Matip.
I believe Liverpool will definitely sign a defender and 1 more midfielder, so will need to balance the books, hence Matip and Thiago moving on.
There is 2 months of the transfer window to go yet.

OP, Thiago and Matip cost the club around £20 million in wages a year, yet barely play, due to endless injury problems. Clubs cannot stockpile players in this way.

In order for Klopp to bring in new players, older players need to leave, otherwise the club is financially stricken with an enormous wage bill due to a bloated squad.

The club has senior players in Adrian, Henderson etc to help out with the younger
players.

On this occasion, James Pearce is correct, The team needs significant investment, which does require the owners to dig deep.
It could be argued, the reason that Liverpool have missed out on the top 4 riches, is down to failure to invest in the team adequately.
Arsenal, Utd, Chelsea and now Newcastle will spend big again, so that is 5 teams chasing 3 champions league spots.
The teams that spend the most, are nearly always the winners of the big trophies. Bayern, Man City, Real Madrid etc.
Klopp will struggle again next season without serious investment in the team.
