Movement on varela now lads! Ed02 I’d love to get inside your head your contacts knowledge and insights are top notch! Regardless if we sign him you called it long ago most nvr heard of the guy!
Top work ??.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 09:08:07
Slot press conference pretty much put an end to deadline day for us all at least. Hopefully the focus switches to sorting out the contract situations and actually having a plan in place if Virgil, Salah and Trent all leave. Cheers Eds for keeping us posted throughout the summer!
2.) 30 Aug 2024 09:11:55
wildly different reports as to the RC. Some say 65, others 90m.
Is this guy more of a straight up CDM?
3.) 30 Aug 2024 09:22:27
To be honest I would be surprised if we did anything now. Plus I read Porto told us to do one even if we meet the RC can see them convincing him to stay until January at least.
4.) 30 Aug 2024 09:28:34
Varela not happening at them numbers Vango. Be interested in how things have been conducted with his agent we have been speaking to the last week or so.
5.) 30 Aug 2024 10:03:49
Ed002, do you think there will be a bid for him today? Idk how trustworthy are those Argentine journalists calling for the deal when they state a wrong release clause for him but every act this window except Zubimendi's has been broken out by foreign journalists- Mamardashvili by Valencia media and Chiesa by Romano and you of course have been stating the whole window that the interest is there. I know that you do not like to comment on possibilities but is Liverpool likely to pay the release clause?
{Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation.}
6.) 30 Aug 2024 10:42:06
€70million in one go and the player will be consulted is what the ED said previously. Let's see what happens.
7.) 30 Aug 2024 10:49:26
Ending the window with glaring holes at DM and CB would be so disappointing. I like the two we brought in but hard to give the window more than a 3/ 10 if it was to close now.
8.) 30 Aug 2024 10:55:47
Porto did just add Vieira on loan, bit of a different player but another number in midfield. So who knows maybe they would be willing to let him go even though we have left it late.
9.) 30 Aug 2024 11:13:44
Sorry, where is the glaring hole in CB? We have 4 first teamers, with Endo being able to fill in there at a push. Van dijk plays every CL and prem game anyway.
10.) 30 Aug 2024 11:18:30
There is no glaring hole in deffence if Gomez is staying. He is a better option than many of the suggested new shiny toys in the market.
There is a glaring hole in the DM position, however.
11.) 30 Aug 2024 13:06:01
Just remember Nat Phillips hasn’t left and has a squad number…. Also Bajcetic hasn’t gone anywhere yet. So I guess from a ‘club’ perspective we are fully stocked. From a quality perspective, well that’s subjective.
12.) 30 Aug 2024 13:35:35
I don’t know much about Varela but is he really £65m better than what we already have?
13.) 30 Aug 2024 14:57:01
his release clause is 70 million € in one go. Porto signed him last summer and have no interest in selling or negotiating! We aren't going to pay 70 million € in one go for a 21 year old with one season in Europe. More likely a target for next summer where we already have done some leg work with his agent, and maybe Porto will be more willing to sell then for a structured deal. I believe the same goes for Goncalo Inacio.
16 Aug 2024 17:44:38
So we’ve not met the valuation off that keeper so the deals off! According to reports!
1.) 16 Aug 2024 18:05:19
Chelsea should get Richard Hughes in to deal with their future transfers - they'll save a fortune by not buying anyone.
2.) 16 Aug 2024 18:13:00
Either way Hughes is having a stinker.
3.) 16 Aug 2024 18:13:09
Sweet baby Jesus, at this rate we're going to be blacklisted from entering into negotiations with half of Europe's clubs.
4.) 16 Aug 2024 18:28:17
Where have you got this info from Jay? I can't find anything that confirms this, the closest was the Valencia manager getting a bit annoyed at questions about Giorgi Mamardashvili's move - much like every other manager where one of their star players is linked to a move away.
5.) 16 Aug 2024 18:34:10

Richard Hughes features on deal or no deal next month.
Apparently he came home empty handed.
7.) 16 Aug 2024 18:56:26
Does Hughes set the parameters on what he is allowed to spend or someone above him.
If it’s Hughes there would be nothing stopping him bidding 200 mill for a player and then leaving himself.
8.) 16 Aug 2024 19:02:33
Can't find anything which says deal is off.
9.) 16 Aug 2024 19:42:26
Just get Hughes out the club he can take Edwards with him.
10.) 16 Aug 2024 19:55:57
JK, I imagine it’s the accountants that will give Hughes an outline of what he can spend but by and large it’ll be down to him.
11.) 16 Aug 2024 20:34:42
If Richard Hughes went on Deal or No Deal he’d end up owing the banker money. Doesn’t appear the most competent person in the world.
12.) 16 Aug 2024 20:38:29
As far as I can tell the only thing to change today is Valencia manager Ruben Baraja saying a deal hasn't been done yet.
Nothing to say the deal is off, but hey I guess FSG aren't giving us enough ammo by not making any signings by the 16th of August and being rebuffed by Zubimendi, so we can always make stuff up.
{Ed002's Note - Giorgi Mamardashvili is complicated.}
13.) 16 Aug 2024 21:36:39
JK the club will have set a budget. He acts within that. I would imagine the CEO of football (Edwards) would have some say.
14.) 16 Aug 2024 22:35:19
Cheers Fuser / redwook.
15.) 17 Aug 2024 00:49:06
Remarkable the way Richard Hughes has been appointed public enemy number 1, without anybody having any idea about what’s actually going on.
1. We tried to sign a player who initially indicated he wanted to come to Liverpool and the changed his mind.
2. Social Media, in the absence of any concrete comment by Liverpool, Valencia or the GK whose name I can’t spell are making up a variety of conflicting stories on a daily basis.
3. We have not renewed contracts for Adrian, Matip or Thiago - all in their mid-30s and all nominated as too old and candidates for the 3 it door on this very board for about the past 12-18 months.
4. We have sold Carvalho and Clark, the firmer again someone who has been touted as someone to be sold for 12-24 months as a player who wasn’t going to break into the team and had a poor attitude and the latter who seemed to be a potential candidate for a squad player but not necessarily someone who was going to be a natural starter.
5. We haven’t (yet) renewed the contracts for VVD, TAA or Mo. given we are moving into the last 12 months of their contracts you could argue that the previous management set up should have done something 12-24 months ago.
6. Apart from Zubimendi and the GK we haven’t tried to sign anybody. I’m assuming that is because there has been no media coverage of us chasing players in public, although evidence of recent years would suggest that the club has been doing business out of the spotlight. Equally what the club (as an example Slot yesterday) are saying that there are no real candidates to come in and improve the squad might actually be true. There’s no point in spending / wasting money just so fans can say we bought someone / anyone.
Anyway, I’m confused (though not surprise) that We have found a scapegoat but I’d love to hear a rational explanation of how all of (or any of) the above can be pinned on one person.
{Ed001's Note - 1. The issue is that time was wasted on a player we didn't need and who offered no new skillset from the players already at the club, while he did nothing to address actual needs.
2. Again a player we have no need of, that is taking focus and attention from him, when he should be working to bring in what we need.
3. Not sure how that is relevant, none were needed.
4. That is an aspect he has got right. Neither were likely to get a place in the team.
5. This is the big issue, which should have priority number one to sort out. Not sure of the relevance of the previous administration's failing here. That doesn't stop them from dealing with it for months.
6. Yet we know there are gaps that need addressing and it is their job to find the players that can improve the squad. If they are not finding them, then they are failing badly. We already have the best goalkeeper in the world and a number of excellent young keepers coming through but they have still managed to find, and attempt to sign, another young keeper to address a gap in the squad that doesn't exist.}
16.) 17 Aug 2024 01:21:53
Ed001 from your reply to West Derby wanderer I take it your not too impressed with what positions we've decided to improve. can I ask whose made these obvious mistake as even I know we should decide on contracts an then strengthen different positions. is slot not seeing the weakness in the squad that needs improvement.
{Ed001's Note - Slot is not in charge of recruitment or contract renewals. He will make his recommendations but that is all. Hughes is in charge of recruitment. I am not 100% sure who is handling contract renewals now, but if it is him, then his first focus should have been to deal with the big 3. If it is not him, then his first focus should have been on buying players to fill gaps in the team, not unnecessary signings of players we already have a squad full of. Either way, he is not doing it.}
17.) 16 Aug 2024 21:28:04
Ed002, could you explain the complication?
Cheers
Drogie.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool cannot sign the player and loan him to Bournemouth. The simple solution would be to have agreed with Valencia to sign him and loan him back to them for a year or two. Valencia say they are unclear what is going on. There will need to be oversight if he ends up at Bournemouth as it could be seen as third party interference with Hughes helping out his old club - rather than his new club. IF Alisson were departing this summer it makes sense. But LIverpool should be addressing their priorities.}
18.) 17 Aug 2024 10:19:05
@Ed01 - I take the point about time wasting and un-necessary effort of players we don’t need but that wasn’t what Inwas getting at. Surely the selection of targets is a process that involves more than one individual (at least I sincerely hope it is’. I thought Hughes was more the designated negotiator than a one man band for transfers.
I’m not saying Hughes is perfect, and I’m hopeful that he will take the lessons he should have learned in the past few months but I really don’t believe he is responsible for everything that does (or doesn’t happen at the club.
{Ed001's Note - but he is responsible for making signings, which means he is failing.}
19.) 17 Aug 2024 10:58:53
In your eyes, ed, what are the gaps?
From my perspective (rightly or wrongly) we have a brand new regime and the only thing constant in this is the squad from last season. Everybody who has come in has had to assess a disparate squad with various tournaments occurring and had to work out where the gaps are with fresh eyes, not entirely knowing the style slot would be implementing. I'd rather we'd sign no one and save funds for definite needs than purchasing for the sake of it. Anyone who EXPECTS us to be challenging for the title this season is just being unreasonable reasonable.
Not to say I think we shouldn't sign anyone, but I'd rather we sign no one, utilise a squad that's capable of gaining top four and then spend bigger when it's truly necessary and everyone is aligned, than to spend for the sake of it.
{Ed001's Note - I have said so many times, we need long term replacements for Virgil and Mo.}
20.) 17 Aug 2024 11:58:38
Exactly that Ed. It’s no good saying this squad is great it’s hard to find improvements. It’s his job to find improvements. I wish I got a job on his wages where I could just say we can’t do anything and everyone fall for it.
21.) 17 Aug 2024 11:19:05
I thought the only two we’d actually made a concrete offer for were Zubimendi, who changed his mind, and for thr goalkeeper we are trying to sign?
22.) 17 Aug 2024 11:42:51
Ed, who is as good as Zubi, aside from Alexis?
The GK is an issue if its known that CK wants to move on now and Ali in a year or two, future planning makes sense on many levels.
No one knows the true desires of Trent, VVD and Mo. Maybe the latter want to see out their contracts and move on a free, for one last big pay day. That would put the onus on them, rather than the club. Isn't it always a bit cagey in such situation?
Maybe Trent wants to see how things develop under Slot, and where / how he plays, or if he becomes captain once Virgil leaves.
{Ed002's Note - There are numerous very good DM players - Guimaraes, Kimmich, Palhinha, Hjulmond, Vitinha, Fofana, Ugarte, Rodri ....
The club need to understand the intentions of the players, certainly.}
15 Jul 2023 12:16:48
Ed is there any cdm’s about we could get on loan for a season and do a job? and could possibly help the likes of baj and Levia if bought?
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of Liverpool looking to take such a player on loan.}
1.) 15 Jul 2023 13:13:45
Please god, not a loanee. I would love us to go all out for Caicedo now (quality, prem proven, right age etc) but I doubt we will. Lavia as our first choice DM, perhaps?
2.) 15 Jul 2023 13:36:48
47 I’m with you mate. Even it’s financially viable in any way then alongside Lavia we should be going all out for Caicedo. Not saying Caicedo is the be all and end all but those two in the holding roles alongside Mac Allister, Szoboszlai and a defender. Then I honestly see us going toe to toe with City in all competitions. But Lavia and another holding midfielder in Manu Kone, Florentino Luís even Thuram if he can be converted into a holding midfielder, which we did with Fabinho so I don’t see why not, then I also feel we can compete on all fronts.
3.) 15 Jul 2023 14:18:21
Honest question, but why would we even be considering Levia as a replacement for fab when we already have Baj?
Surely we need someone quality with experience if they are to fill fabs boots. I personally don't rate caicido either.
Send Sporting a box of quality street and a bunch of flowers and get Ugarte.
{Ed002's Note - Ugarte has moved elsewhere.}
4.) 15 Jul 2023 14:56:52
There’s a 26 year old DM. Brazilian international once bought for over £65m who has worked with Klopp before available for loan.
5.) 15 Jul 2023 15:01:01
Yes thanks ed. I'm a bit behind the times tbh. Oh well, everything happens for a reason. Missed a trick there though, as i really rate him.
{Ed002's Note - Klopp blew any chance of that happening.}
6.) 15 Jul 2023 15:29:20
I honestly don't see the logic of a loan considering our midfield will be new to each other. buy and led them all bed in together!
26 May 2023 16:57:44
Not Liverpool related really!
But want to ask the Ed’s who they think have the best football scouts in the business!
I see Brighton have done well I’d be leaning towards them?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea, Ajax and Barcelona stand out. But it is the structure that is important. Brighton’s recruitment team have departed.}
1.) 26 May 2023 18:42:30
Chelsea!?!?
You sure.
{Ed002's Note - Yes, they have recruited many exceptional youngsters again and have developed plans for the future- having one bad season has not impacted any of this.}
2.) 26 May 2023 18:47:17
Chelsea? Really.
{Ed002's Note - Yes.}
3.) 26 May 2023 19:29:15
Chelsea produce an immense amount of talent. Arsenal and City both seem to be a cut above the rest too right now. Liverpool is improving, but seems a bit behind the times still. Same goes for United.
4.) 26 May 2023 19:44:20
I think Chelsea have won more than any other english club the last 20 years. I reckon they’ve recruited fairly well. Definitely have the best academy in England i wish we had similar.
5.) 26 May 2023 20:40:06
They’ve spent a huge amount in the last 20 years also. I do think Liverpool are improving but still seem a long way behind Arsenal, City and Chelsea in this regard.
6.) 26 May 2023 19:09:21
Brighton are the elite at this now. Ed who are they planning on replacing Mac Allister with?
I’d be getting that guy!
Because Every time someone comes in, they’re better than the previous.
{Ed002's Note - No. Their recruitment department have left. They have a replacement in mind.}
7.) 26 May 2023 21:39:35
Chelsea probably should've given Potter more time to get that group to play as a team, I think they will be up at the top end again next season, they need a striker though.
{Ed002's Note - They probably should have kept Tuchel.}
8.) 26 May 2023 22:02:35
You thoughts on Pochetino, if he is Chelsea’s new manager? Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - You need to ask on the Chelsea page.}
9.) 26 May 2023 23:54:18
Chelsea have broken every rule going to get where they are with the academy and probably first team. It’s like the criminal who does unspeakable thing’s to accumulate wealth and then sells the ill gotten gains and pretends his next venture is above board and best in class. Chelsea like Man City should be discounted from any trophies and praise. If you can’t win by fair rules then don’t enter the competition.
{Ed002's Note - In what watt have the Chelsea academy broken every rule?}
10.) 27 May 2023 00:58:34
not sure every rule but haven't they not too distant ago serve a year transfer ban?
{Ed002's Note - Do you thin that worthy of a ban>}
11.) 27 May 2023 01:53:53
not at all, but just stating that they must have broken some to have gotten it.
12.) 27 May 2023 06:03:15
So the real question should be where has Brighton recruitment team gone? Could be signing of the year lol.
13.) 27 May 2023 09:04:39
I heard Dan Ashworth oversaw the scouting dept at Brighton brought in a change of scouting so instead of the geographical way of doing it changed to a positional way of doing it. So they send scouts anywhere to look for say a FB (estupinia) spelling! as opposed to say being assigned to just S America
Also expect Brighton esque signings at Newcastle as that’s where he’s gone
Been playing Xbox with a bunch of geordies for 15 years so know just as much about their club as I do mine lol.
14.) 27 May 2023 09:51:19
Brighton owner Bloom has a sport intelligence agency which is separate from Brighton the club. This way it’s hard for other clubs to steal his best nerds or methods.
15.) 27 May 2023 11:12:25
Ed002 Chelsea invested massively before FFP came in and it has put the club on great footing ever since so I don’t know what rules they broke and not even sure what the ban was for.
Their Academy has been by far the best in the the league over the last 20 years.
I think the investment Chelsea did when Roman came in was one of the biggest reasons FFP came in with the likes of Madrid and Barcelona not liking somebody have a bigger budget than them what I find a check with the way there league is set up for them two to take more tv money out than the rest of the league.
16.) 27 May 2023 23:51:38
And we all know Roman got all his money from the massive chain of pet farms and children’s sweetie shops that his mate Vladimir gave him the franchises for. It was either that or the millions and millions he acquired from the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
22 May 2023 19:12:44
Have city entered the equation for Mcallister Ed?
{Ed002's Note - They are one of the interested sides.}
1.) 22 May 2023 19:27:39
Oh dear.
2.) 22 May 2023 19:34:52
I can only assume he’s city bound if that’s the case. Can’t see him wanting to play for us over them. But let’s hope the clubs can agree a deal and get it done asap.
3.) 22 May 2023 19:49:05
They are NOT in the bidding for him and the deal is not far from being concluded. Source: Romano.
4.) 22 May 2023 21:23:46
He won’t go to City to sit on the bench. Mcallister is coming to Liverpool.
5.) 22 May 2023 21:26:12
They were in for Virg, too. It's not automatic that players want Pepcity.
6.) 22 May 2023 23:50:50
Why would he go sit on the bench at city, look at Phillips? Jesus the comments on here would make ya sick at times. Shower of negative Nancy's and that's been nice ?.
7.) 23 May 2023 10:30:46
If he wants to come he will. all it will do is maybe push prices up.
8.) 23 May 2023 11:23:29
This isn't based on anything except my ever expanding gut but I feel city will have bigger priorities and the one to worry about will be man United. I'm still quietly confident we can nab him tho as long as we don't annoy Brighton.

A goal difference lead with Chelsea, utd nd Spurs to play?is it an advantage?
2.) 07 Apr 2024 20:56:49
They are playing better then us it’s not over till it’s over but the players will feel it after that game it’s costly when u miss them chances! Arsenal will hammer Chelsea and the time they play Utd the mancs will more or less found out their faith for the CL spots and play kids.
3.) 07 Apr 2024 22:35:17
This one is going to hurt, for real no matter how Jurgen and the players spin this. They know they threw that game away ALL on their own nand this is off of their own doing and their own doing alone.
Now that being said, NOTHING is done now and if GD is all Arenal have to brag about as an advantage then, let's see how they get out of the brutal schedule coming their way. Not all is lost. Not even close.
4.) 08 Apr 2024 03:27:44
It was a shocking error from Quansah too, they had done nothing up until that point and that gift galvanized them and turned the game. He didn’t even get his head up just blindly played a poor pass. Cannot make errors like that in games this big, and that seriously affected the entire result.
5.) 08 Apr 2024 06:54:59
Pretty sure we have Spurs too. And Everton away. I am also nervous about the Palace match as they always up their game against us.
21 Dec 2023 07:26:55
Klopp calling out the Anfield atmosphere embarrassing he’s got to do that!
Place been like a church Utd game I thought the tv was on mute.
1.) 21 Dec 2023 08:26:26
Jay Dub Red, exactly what he should do which is quite disappointing. The way the fans allegedly abandoned the players in parts of the Utd game was quite deplorable and the fact that Klopp had to say what he said and told those with tickets who aren't ready to support the team from start to finish should stay home and give their tickets to someone else, is what I find sad.
2.) 21 Dec 2023 09:25:44
Ive been lucky enough to see Liverpool v united at Anfield and the place was absolutely rocking for the whole game, couldn't believe how flat the atmosphere was on Sunday.
3.) 21 Dec 2023 09:38:22
It’s a strange one and I believe it’s modern day society. The kop is always bouncing but then the majority of the rest of the stadium is pretty flat with plenty of passionate fans in there trying to creat an atmosphere but outnumbered by people who seem to go in looking for peace and quiet.
Believe it or not a lad in front of me on Sunday decided to FaceTime his Mrs half way through the 2nd half for about 10 mins of the game.
I didn’t know whether to be disappointed or impressed as I’ve never been able to get signal in there ?
Another thing that disappoints me is fans leaving 5 mins before half time and before full time just to beat the queues.
With 40% of the uplift going to corporate I don’t expect it to improve either. It’ll probably get worse.

Good he called it out. Been saying since last season our atmosphere for over 90% of our games has been nothing short of pathetic. I have lost count of the amount of games where we have been so quiet that you could literally hear a pin drop, and that’s no exaggeration. That reputation of having the best atmosphere has long gone, long long gone. Off the top of my head Brentford, Palace and Fulham’s ground beat us by a long mile. There are countless others but those are the ones that spring to mind and that’s just in the league. If we factor in European grounds we fall further down the line.

@JK23: I could never figure out why people leave a bit early when the game hasn't been lost. If you are 3-0 down with 5 minutes to go, may be. But under Klopp we have scored so many late goals that it makes it even more difficult to fathom this. There were quite a few that left on Sunday too.

The atmosphere on Sunday was great for the first 15 mins, which mirrored what was going on, on the pitch. It's a chicken and egg situation. Do the fans feed off the players or do the players feed off the fans.
Regards to fans leaving early, I've never left a game early in my life. However, with the capacity increasing, this is only going to get worse, with it getting more difficult to get away from the area and people trying to avoid this.
I totally agree that the atmosphere is generally better at other grounds. This is also partly due to that support being the same every other week, unlike at Anfield when every game there are thousands attending who are there for the first time and are too busy taking photos.

Gotta ask why is it so quiet though, a lot of the local fans find it very hard to obtain tickets, the corporate seats are for day trippers ( who get charged triple prices ) so not much atmosphere from there, and the regulars season ticket holders have seen every type of game, I think it will get worse especially if super league comes to fruition . so whose fault is it, the fans or the club.

Problem is if you sing and shout then your phone video gets wobbly and the audio gets distorted. Its even worse when we score in the middle of a selfie opportunity.

We need to bring Bobby back just for his song.
Bobbys and Jota’s songs are def a crowd favourite and actually get the crowd going.
We need some new songs for the lads on match day because chanting Nunez 37 million times just doesn’t seem to do it.

Rome - it's an interesting question to pose. What is the purpose of having fans in the ground? are they there to be entertained or are they there to be a part of the entertainment?
I think Klopp is trying to appeal to the "this means more" mantra of the club and re-embed the psyche that the fans are as important to the result as the players on the pitch. So with that in mind I tend to think more that the fans should be there singing and cheering regardless of what's happening on the pitch.

Just maybe he’s trying a bit of a wind up game for the arsenal game me thinks ?.
30 Sep 2023 21:15:11
I thought we played brilliant! We battered them before the red! If I was a spurs fan I’d not be to pumped they struggled against 9 men! And the heart I seen us play with has given me even more belief for this season!
Unfortunately because the state of the referees and var and the pgmol I don’t think I’ll bother!

They'll forget as inevitably the points are theirs.
Real tough one to take.
The reds are subjective, but offsides are quite literally factual.

Sheff Utd coaches words about the refs are a breath of fresh air! Delighted he let it out!
1.) 17 Sep 2023 00:16:51
Absolutely. Some of the decisions on show again were awful. I watched the NUFC game and the goal disallowed by VAR followed by the ref handball penalty decision were beyond ridiculous. Admittedly the VAR advised a review of the handball decision but we are 6 games into the season and already the standard of consistency, let alone basic common sense, from the officials is appalling.
2.) 17 Sep 2023 06:43:17
Is it just me, thought 4 wins and a draw makes it 5 games?
But agree, VAR is a joke, absolutely waste of time and money. Looks like a bunch of men at my age sittin with their glasses on top of their heads looking to find anything, but can actually see nothing.
3.) 17 Sep 2023 07:38:44
Right you are Red!

VAR will hurt us all at the end of the day.
18 Aug 2024 12:25:56
Think Joe had a solid season last season but his injuries cost him and as ed25 would say one swallow don’t mean it’s summer! If we got 30m and brought in 3 solid players id be happy! But it’s not going to happen!
02 Aug 2024 17:51:56
He’d ruin the poker nites.
02 Aug 2024 17:51:30
Hate hearing this kinda thing I’m leaving because I want to play! Work hard play hard and if you’re good enough you’ll start and keep your place!
It’s up there with I’ll only sign if I play! Massive red flags for me!
New black away kit looks tops gang ??.

Inter web saying Gordon/ gomez 90% done?
07 Apr 2024 10:40:36
He owes us nothings the man’s been nothing but amazing if not begrudge him a big money move if we got anything like 100m it would be amazing and reinvest it!
01 Dec 2024 01:00:46
Kelleher will end up at Bayern! I love the love in for Ali he’s off the charts good but age and injuries I’d be leaving Kelleher as no.1 he’s better with his feet and has less mistakes from what I see!
He’s not played a games in 2 season were we cried for Ali back in the sticks!
06 Aug 2024 12:38:36
We can add that to ‘ monitored’ interested ‘ etc etc ?.
02 Aug 2024 17:53:37
He’s a quality player lads really is! I’d snap him up if we could! He wants us and being a red I’d say he’d be tops for us if it happened!
30 May 2024 08:06:46
Thiago?! Man nvr done a thing for us brutal signing at the end of the day!
07 Apr 2024 20:56:49
They are playing better then us it’s not over till it’s over but the players will feel it after that game it’s costly when u miss them chances! Arsenal will hammer Chelsea and the time they play Utd the mancs will more or less found out their faith for the CL spots and play kids.
