Ed002, about a month or so ago I put a question to you regarding gini wijnaldum contract and you seemed to indicate that he would sign a new deal at lfc, can I ask do you believe that to still be the case? Reports suggest Barcelona seem to be the ones pushing as Koeman still head coach but I have serious doubts that Koeman will be in charge come end of the calendar year never mind the season.
{Ed002's Note - I don't think Barcelona are pushing but the ball is in Liverpool's court as they need to put a new contract on the table. Ideally they should be looking to wrap this up before January when a couple of other sides might start looking for a pre-contract agreement with him. My expectation is that Klopp will ask the club to offer him a new deal and that Wijnaldum will be happy to agree to it.}
1.) 11 Dec 2020 16:21:12
I have to give full credit to Gini. He is imo playing the best football of his career. He has definately grown on me as a player and I so appreciate him. His strengths are clear to see, positionally very good, can play all midfield positions and very important at this time plays every game. Not our best player by any stretch but a very very important member of the squad.
Losing Gini is nothing like losing Can, I knew Can wasn't good enough to take us forward. Gini is different we need him in the squad.
2.) 11 Dec 2020 17:12:15
Gini is such a key player, I sincerely hope he extends. His ability to control the midfield in the toughest games, his willingness to play wherever the team needs him, and his fitness make him one of the most valuable players in the squad.
3.) 13 Dec 2020 01:58:03
Get it done, boys. We need him more than ever.
{Ed0666's Note - he’s such a nice boy as well. Humble and a humanitarian.
28 Nov 2020 15:29:54
Via James Pearce: Klopp has confirmed milner has injured his hamstring and ox or thiago not back for Ajax or Wolves.
19 Nov 2020 10:08:39
Ed002 if I may, I think I read couple days ago that you was of opinion that Wijnaldum would probably sign a new deal at lfc? Is this still the likely outcome in your opinion, I have just read that Real Madrid are circling aswel. as inter and Barcelona so was hoping you could give us your insight?
{Ed002's Note - Gini Wijnaldum (CM) was offered to Barcelona by his representative as Liverpool had not offered him a new contract. Barcelona are continuing to deal with other priorities, but the coach was interested in the player who would be well priced in January - although they may opt to look to a pre-contract instead. However, the coach is vulnerable to being eased out after the election so the club may want to avoid committing to spending money beyond their primary targets. I am not aware of any interest from Real Madrid and their plans for next summer are clear – whether there is a change of coach or not. If the player were to be in the position to talk directly to other clubs in January, there is a chance that Inter Milan could look to seeing if he will sign a pre-contract. Whilst all of these options may be tempting for the player, the ball remains very much in Liverpool’s Court. My expectation is that Klopp will ask the club to offer him a new deal and that Wijnaldum will be happy to agree to it.}
1.) 19 Nov 2020 11:01:53
Good chap ed002, i think gini is a great squad player so aslong as financially makes sense i would be offering him a new contract if I was klopp/ lfc board. I know its lfc page but I would presume Real Madrid plans involve a certain Kylian Mbappe?
{Ed002's Note - Ideally they do but is is not clear cut any longer.}
2.) 19 Nov 2020 11:51:18
Oooh, is more info about this on the Real Madrid page ed002. I genuinely love hearing about football news and gossip.
{Ed002's Note - If someone has asked there.}
3.) 19 Nov 2020 13:43:39
ed002 surely Juventus will be in the mix they love players out of contract.
{Ed002's Note - Right now their midfield interest is in two others they want to add
rather than GW.}
4.) 20 Nov 2020 09:50:08
Cant sell him just cant. He is the only ever fit midfielder we have. He is never ever injured that should itself be worth whatever his salary demands etc. Are.
Give him a new deal!
5.) 20 Nov 2020 14:58:19
I’ve said all along that it would be a surprise to me if he were to be allowed to leave.
The only thing is his age, just turned 30.
He’ll probably be looking for a 3 years or more contract, whether Liverpool will agree to that is the question.
Personally, he’s so durable and physically fit, he’ll be another James Milner, playing at a high level past 35 if he chooses.
He’s definitely worth a 3 years contract in my book, probably 4 years too.
6.) 21 Nov 2020 07:50:28
ed002 I think Gini has earned a 3 year contract would not got to for 4 maybe 3 years with an 1 year option. But the club do need to do work with age of the squad with are younger Midfielders not at the same level Naby nowhere near Ox injuries and Jones as much as I like him needs to up his game an awful lot to be a first choice and Grujic does not look like his going to get a chance here what is a shame as I think his better than all the midfielders we have below are first choice ones. Ed how as Grujic been getting on on loan.
{Ed002's Note - I think it will be down to Klopp.}
7.) 21 Nov 2020 18:25:07
I remember when Gini was purchased the amount of inappropriate flack he and the club got on this site. Indeed the amount of unnecessary rubbishing that was going on back then. I know results matter but building and then believing does too and too many never believed in the build - I didn’t then see too many saying we were wrong about a lot of things including Gini!
8.) 23 Nov 2020 12:31:08
I agree with The Juicer. I think Wijnaldum is a player who could continue at almost the same level well into his mid-thirties. He doesn't have any history of serious injuries, as far as I'm aware, clearly takes good care of himself physically and is a very versatile and adaptable player who can fulfil various roles in midfield.
9.) 24 Nov 2020 12:54:34
Dare you to name which 2 midfielders Juventus are looking at?
10.) 24 Nov 2020 20:36:24
Why do people think ben white is better than Joe Gomez? His dropped off after the restart, but that happened to the whole team. Joe Gomez is the best english cb. He's a title winning cb we should be looking to add homegrown players in other areas of the pitch.
20 Oct 2020 14:40:08
Good afternoon ed002,
I understand you have probable had many many messages coming through regarding this new European premier league proposal. If im not mistaken I think you have said previously this was on the cards for a breakaway league to be put forward. My question is do you think this could start the end of the Premier league as we know it (even tho I believe its to rival the champions league more than premiership) but if I was hearing correctly its a lot of extra games to be added to the current season. Secondly do you think its the right thing to be looking at or more of a rich getting richer leaving the rest of the teams to fight it out in a less attractive pool?
Appreciate your time as always.
{Ed002's Note - In the interim it would not impact the Premier League but it will likely kill off the Champions League - and that will likely kill off any support from UEFA.}
1.) 20 Oct 2020 15:13:00
Ed002, are the future projected "numbers" (revenues, profits etc etc) for this breakaway league to be larger than those projected for the existing Champions League? Trying to understand what the angle of interest in the breakaway league is.
{Ed002's Note - The "angle" is that investors (or are not European) have been colluding with the owners of Liverpool to find a way to profit out of football. FSG's interest is money and nothing else. They know the rapid growth in the asset has reduced and they want to keep the value of their investment bouyant which will make it easier to cash in on when they find a better option. It is one of several options I have explained in detail.}
2.) 20 Oct 2020 18:09:19
Your view in the past was about the inevitability of a pan-European breakaway Ed002, which obviously had money at its heart?
The pints of wallop and chips and curry for those fans who did not wish to partake of a continental diet?
{Ed002's Note - The proposal that the "elite" sides have been working on was originally about removing the shackles of UEFA and taking the opportunity to make money. The proposal being discussed today are around a year old and I have discussed them in the past. They have a wealthy businessman and money underwritten by an American bank behind them - and they are using the opportunity to exploit the game via the incumbent owners of a PL club who are interested only in bettering investments, and not the club itself in particular. That is why they are trying to exploit the game for profit.}
3.) 20 Oct 2020 19:35:10
Sorry Ed but that is not true. I know Werner and he is absolutely mad about Liverpool.
{Ed002's Note - It doesn't matter what individuals think - they are not naive and none of these ideas are anything to do with the benefit of the game. You must be incredibly naive if you think it is. I have explained this over and over - you are trying to defend people who want whatever they can get for themselves and their investors - they have had the spectacular growth out of Liverpool and it has now faltterened out - they want it back and if tehy cannot rip off the British and European game to get it, they will sell Liverpool and re-invest elsewhere. THis is an investment business - it is there to make money.}
4.) 20 Oct 2020 21:02:17
Thanks for the feedback Ed.
You were always quite complimentary about FSG’s ownership of Liverpool but you seem to have taken much the opposite view, certainly recently?
A large part of our criticism of them was they were never Liverpool-centric, and what you’re saying now really backs that up. And worse than that, not even football centric. American baseball fans first and foremost, which is fair enough but they’d have never appeared over here in the first place if there wasn’t money to be made.
{Ed002's Note - They have been good owners but you can never forget they are an investment company. They invest their own and other people’s money in order to get the best return on their money. They don’t care about collateral damage. It is no difference than you invention £100 - if bank x gives you 2% interest and bank y gives you 8% interest, where do you put your money?}
5.) 20 Oct 2020 23:28:11
I don't like anything about this whole thing. It is a money grab and completely self serving. I'd rather them sell and get owners who have the best interest in the club and community than their own selfish self interests.
6.) 20 Oct 2020 23:30:50
Oh flidby, as a Red Sox fan, I don't trust a word that comes out of Werner's mouth ever since the whole Francona fiasco.
7.) 20 Oct 2020 23:13:25
ed2 - I recall you saying that the game will have to change as it's unsustainable as it is. Is this one of the ideas that will help that?
{Ed002's Note - This was put up as an option to the breakaway league. It is not new.}
8.) 21 Oct 2020 00:16:24
ah right yea, so this is one is backed by FIFA in response to the other breakaway league. Which one will actually help football?
{Ed002's Note - No. Go back and read what I have previously explained please.}
9.) 21 Oct 2020 09:28:48
Thanks Ed002. I'm not surprised by any of this. Nothing new, and it's all around us from morning to night. It's business as usual; make money and maximize shareholder value.
10.) 21 Oct 2020 10:35:25
They need to sell asap.
11.) 21 Oct 2020 11:33:18
The fickleness of fans is unbelievable. "they need to sell ASAP"? Really. A few weeks ago everyone was on here raving about FSG. Fans need to get over this issue of owners not wanting the best for the club. Football is a business and always will be. What top 6 club is owned by a "local" fan? If FSG are only interested in money, common sense says they will leave the club in a healthy state in order to maximize their sell on profit.
12.) 21 Oct 2020 12:12:55
How is it being fickle? the owners are coming out and trying to change football and not for the good. they are being selfish and not thinking about the negative impact of their selfishness. So what that a few weeks ago people supported them. Things change. Any negative pushback that they get is deserved based on this silly European Premier League nonsense. I agree with Lancaster.
13.) 21 Oct 2020 12:22:46
No Stuie-boy i've not supported FSG for a longtime, they have always been about the money not the club, they got it for a steal and will get massive profit if they sold to people who would invest in the team year on year and not make us sell to have money.
14.) 21 Oct 2020 13:03:59
LR, I hate to dissapoint but the vast majority of people that buy football clubs will want to make a profit.
We are in a position of selling to buy because of C.V. nothing the owners could do about that one.
As for investing they have spent money on the infrastructure of the club and improving the squad with wages etc. I would rather they spend within their means then shaft us and we end up in the championship (leeds Wigan etc) because our finances are shot.
15.) 22 Oct 2020 07:52:27
Like it or not, Football these days is about making money. Gone are the days where football and fans comes first and money second. Without money coming in, how can a club be sustainable? How can fans demand clubs to buy and pay the best players a good sum if they are broke? Maybe if the owners are rich like certain clubs and take this football thing as a hobby and not an investment.
If LFC is seen as an 'investment' then definitely the owners will see how they can milk their way to making more money. I guess EDs hit the nail on the head by comparing where you'd want to place your money. On something that gives a bigger return or something that gives you less or a negative return?
Being football fans, we care about the game but sadly with owners, that is not always the case.
16.) 22 Oct 2020 10:14:06
Stone, I think you're spot on mate.
17.) 22 Oct 2020 13:23:28
Ta Salah.
18.) 23 Oct 2020 00:14:01
Ed2 talked about naivety and I agree. Too many are stuck in the past and want the owners to be ‘fans’ who are happy to lose money as long as the team is successful.
I’m sorry guys that just doesn’t exist anymore. Even Chelsea and City’s Uber rich owners have invested in the infrastructure of the clubs to increase revenue to make it sustainable and make a profit.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with any owner trying to maximise their investment because in order to do that you need a successful, profitable business which is what all of us fans want too.
Maybe on this occasion they are barking up the wrong tree but as a business owner myself I know that you are constantly thinking or new ways to increase profit and reduce overheads. You might have loads of ideas running at the same time, some come to fruition and some don’t but that doesn’t mean you just stop trying to progress.

When I went the game a good few years back, a song used to go around about Duncan Ferguson and his fitness issues. Think Naby Keita suits it perfectly these days.
1.) 27 Dec 2020 17:20:00
Remember the song well Kj. And it does suit Keita perfectly.
17 Dec 2020 18:42:43
Not getting peeps hopes up here but Thiago has resumed training. not saying he ahead of schedule to return or anything (club expected January) but atleast there some kinda good news on injury front. Never thought I would say this but might not be a forgone conclusion he slots straight into the starting 11 a certain Mr Jones will have a few things to say and I for one don't think you replace a man in form out of your starting 11.
1.) 17 Dec 2020 19:41:40
OP, it is going to take time for Thiago to get back playing again. He should by no means be rushed back and I don’t care what is happening. He needs to fully recover, get fit and the train consistently before being considered for selection, IMO.
2.) 17 Dec 2020 21:17:11
Thiago returning and any of the other injured will have to earn their places in the team but what it will do will allow us to have game changers on the bench and rotate. Wiji has played a lot of football this season and Thiago coming back offers us a world class option to either play alongside him and Hendo or to rotate with them. Thiago is the first world class player we have signed in god knows how many years. The rest became world class with us. Thiago will be a big player this season and I think he will help others step up another level and compliment their game. Especially our 4 forwards.
3.) 17 Dec 2020 21:27:45
Jones came of age last night. Another top class performance by Gini.
4.) 17 Dec 2020 21:31:24
He'll probably start getting rotated in once he's ready because of the busy schedule and the fact that Gini, Hendo and Jones haven't had too many rests in the past six weeks.
If his form is good enough he may displace one of them as first choice. I certainly think he would've been very useful against Fulham in the second half - a team playing a low block on a small pitch.
But it says a lot how well our lads are playing that we don't have a pressing need for Thiago at this moment.
14 Dec 2020 19:43:51
How are you seeing the game mapping out Wednesday ed001? Mourinho loves coming to Anfield and making himself the perfect bad guy by playing his "Park the bus " style can you see it any differently this time round? Can you see us changing our approach slightly or can you jus see us doing what we do best at try win the game the way we have done under klopp? Jus hope its not him that manages to end this amazing home run we on, think I would have to mute sky sports for weeks if he did. 🤣🤣.
{Ed001's Note - I hate making predictions but yes I am sure Jose will park the bus as usual to snatch a win.}
1.) 14 Dec 2020 19:58:33
OP, two thinks will happen, IMO. Jose will park the bus and try to first nullify the threat and then, counter us when possible. Secondly, Hojbjerg will be Bobbie’s shadow all game long. Just like he was for Lacazette vs Arsenal and like Lemina was vs Fulham. Oh, and that Kane will be flopping to the ground each time and LF C player breathes in him. Ok, so that’s three things.
2.) 14 Dec 2020 20:36:51
If I were playing against Liverpool I would have a right go from the off, as Fulham did. Hope Matip makes it and at least one of the front 3 plays to a decent level. I think a draw would be a decent result I would not be too disappointed.
3.) 14 Dec 2020 20:40:58
Fingers crossed we get the win for Ged.
4.) 14 Dec 2020 21:18:28
Red Meister, you forgot the bit where Kane will intentionally run into our players as they're jumping to try and win frees.
5.) 14 Dec 2020 22:05:55
With our recent away record we have to win home games I’d suggest.
6.) 14 Dec 2020 23:49:56
We will win.
Trent free kick.
7.) 15 Dec 2020 14:14:01
SR, totally missed that, man. Thanks.
13 Dec 2020 16:19:49
With Klopp now confirming 6-8 weeks out for Jota would love to get ed001 opinion of it mate? I don't know the rules and such of champions league teams but surely playing a u18s squad and with the current injury crisis we have at the min for a game that bears no reverence whatsoever seemed the smart thing to do? I understand if we playing Ajax or Atalanta who had something to play for but mjidyland could finish no higher than 4th in group so nothing to play for and we topped the group so seems a bit of a pointless game to risk anybody?
{Ed001's Note - is this some kind of time warp? Or are you just trying to confuse me?}
1.) 13 Dec 2020 17:07:45
I'm confused that you're confused, Ed?
2.) 13 Dec 2020 17:32:26
I’m clearly in the minority but I want liverpool to be competitive in every game we play.
Klopps team selection against Atalanta when we lost was called disrespectful by many in here, and all the same people wanted him disrespect the champs league and our opponents by playing an u18 team.
Mitjland might of had nothing to play for, but it doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be excited to okay against a team of our stature, and their fans to watch it.
From klopps perspective as manager, there has be a personal pride element too and protection of said u18s.
What good would it have done their future careers and confidence if they have been drubbed and everyone decides they’re not good enough to play for Liverpool?
13 Dec 2020 15:51:40

3.) 13 Dec 2020 16:09:45
Some of our players are having their worst ever injury runs since being with us. Was Naby and Shaq this injury prone before. Gomez and Ox have both had some big injuries as well and Matip and Allison seem to pick up niggles. They need to find out what Wijnaldum is having for breakfast and get these boys on it.

Mourinho is most definitely the manager I love us to get one over on. He jus spouts rubbish and plays his character really well of the pantomime villain. I actually respect the job he done at spurs at the minute, not all teams play the same way and he has managed to get spurs actually look like a hard team to beat.
As for tonights game, think we will know in first 15 mins what outcome will be, if we come out the blocks fast with the crowd behind us we should overwhelm them and think a 2-0 win.
If we start slow like we did against Fulham then im expecting a tricky night as spurs will camp in and hit us on counter and break up the game with niggle little fouls all the time and probably be a bore fest 0-1 spurs. Jus hope the lads can feed off the atmosphere the 2000 lucky fans will no doubt generate tonight. COME ON THE REDS!
16 Dec 2020 12:40:49
I personally see the title going to the team that draws the least games. Might sound daft but a draw these days seems jus as damaging as a defeat (against the so called lesser teams) . I think all teams probs have a few looses against them come end of the season but think be interested to see who has gone all out to win the game rather than settle for a draw.
12 Dec 2020 12:29:46
Its hard not to get too down with injuries at the min, seem to get one back then another goes. Teams suffer injuries its part and parcel of the game but ours seem more than usual at the min. Let's hope we catch a bit of a break in 2021.
30 Nov 2020 14:20:03
Jus to add a little more, not great news if in honest. "Thiago Alcantara injury latest - the #LFC midfielder is unlikely to play again this year. There has been no setback and no surgery required, but the initial impact of the injury and repercussions are taking longer to recover from than initially expected.
30 Nov 2020 11:50:53
Cheers for a reply Ed mate, as I said I haven't really got a clue when it comes to TV scheduling and other in house matters. Hopefully injuries will ease soon and we can continue the galactic rise we have had since Klopp been here. ðŸ‘👊.
{Ed001's Note - I don't understand why the TV companies have made such a big argument out of it, they could have bought themselves a load of great PR by working together to schedule the games to help out for this season. The problem is that people are so obsessed with beating their competition, they forget that sometimes you can get more out of working together with them.}
