Hi eds, now that Kim Min Jae is out of favour at Bayern, any chance we can grab him?
{Ed002's Note - No.}
1.) 09 Apr 2024 21:48:09
Thanks Ed, brilliant.
2.) 10 Apr 2024 16:31:07
That is exactly what we need. A 7th center back.
3.) 10 Apr 2024 17:03:39
To be fair to Leek, there are dozens of posts on the Banter page where everyone agrees, including from Ed002, which say Amorim will need to bring in two centre backs to play his system.
4.) 10 Apr 2024 18:18:43
Is there any chance Liverpool will shock the world and appoint Zidane as Manager?
5.) 10 Apr 2024 18:41:09
@DarwinTheGoat yes, Zidane would love to manage the great LFC but the club would have to move to France.
6.) 11 Apr 2024 16:40:21
It's hard to say what the club needs right now without knowing who will succeed Klopp.
7.) 11 Apr 2024 17:44:17
Whatever happens in the CB department I would really hope Sepp VDB gets an opportunity. I think he could be great.
8.) 12 Apr 2024 18:31:40
Ed002 doesn’t usually answer “any chance…” posts - understandably.
His succinct answer here speaks volumes. Thanks Ed002.
9.) 14 Apr 2024 03:23:35
@Mftonjes - it’s not that hard to say what the club needs right now. I’m thinking they need to get the new manager sorted out.
05 Apr 2024 08:33:49
Hi eds, Alexander Isak give me the Samuel Eto vibes. Is Liverpool interested? Considering Salah going.
{Ed002's Note - No.}
1.) 05 Apr 2024 11:15:24
Great player but not really a like for like Salah replacement. He was very good up front with Wilson though, so if we did ever show interest in the future, he could maybe dovetail well with Nunez if the new manager played with 2 up front.
If we were to look at adding a striker, Solanke might be a very good choice for us. Hughes will have good connections at Bournemouth and Solanke already know Liverpool well from his time here. I just don't think it's a priority position though unless there is a huge shift in our style of play this summer so we're unlikely to have any serious interest in strikers right now.
{Ed002's Note - Solanke is of no interest to Liverpool.}
2.) 05 Apr 2024 12:25:13
I'd highly doubt any strikers are of interest to us right now Ed002! It's far from a priority given we are the top scorers in Europe this season and the focus is more likely to be on a more suitable Salah replacement if he decides to go to Saudi.
{Ed002's Note - Out and out strikers, I agree. Liverpool have continued to scout versatile forwards. as you say, a CB and areplacement for Salah will be priorities.}
3.) 05 Apr 2024 14:31:57
Ed002, of all the players/ managers you've mentioned in recent days, Inacio and Neto coming in with Amorim would be nice!
4.) 05 Apr 2024 17:15:24
3 goals in 3 years nd as brittle as Thiago, please don't spend £70/ 80m on a new Kewell, Sturridge or Ox.
5.) 05 Apr 2024 18:59:26
Hey Jude, don't make it bad!
Alexander Isak is 28 matches 17 goals this season in all competitions.
6.) 05 Apr 2024 19:33:30
Neto Lee. isak a good player in fairness.
7.) 05 Apr 2024 19:40:46
Leeku I think Jude is talking about Neto, I might be wrong I was once before.
8.) 05 Apr 2024 20:54:29
Neto won’t be joining Liverpool.
9.) 05 Apr 2024 21:29:50
Neto would be a great addition to most teams but hate to say injuries look like they will mess up his career even at his young age.
10.) 05 Apr 2024 23:10:57
Salah won’t leave Liverpool at the end of the season imo.
11.) 06 Apr 2024 10:13:34
Champs that is probably the most accurate prediction that I have ever seen on here.
{Ed025's Note - the thing is Langland that Salah while being an excellent signing is possibly on the wane, great goalscorer and still an asset but if you are going to get top money for him this may be the optimum time to sell, its a big call mate but all good things come to an end im afraid..
12.) 06 Apr 2024 11:14:14
Neto’s end product is almost non existent and he’s made of crisps.
13.) 07 Apr 2024 10:33:40
the optimum time to sell Salah has passed.
Now it's a case of getting what we can get for him if we decide to sell or just see him play out his contract. I'm at peace with whatever at this stafe.
14.) 07 Apr 2024 11:50:08
I think we have perfected the selling club mentality. We have one of the best players in the world and all we guys want to do is sell him! Are we buying Mbappe with that money then? Replacing him will be one of the hardest tasks for us.
{Ed025's Note - heard it all before Sanjit. keegan. Rush. Fowler. Suarez. Torres.. they all got replaced mate and someone new takes up the mantle. It’s just the way it is..
15.) 10 Apr 2024 12:47:51
It’s a hard task to replace whether we sell Mo this summer or if he leaves for free the following summer.
16.) 11 Apr 2024 19:04:19
thought Neto would be a great signing, but he right now has yet another bad injury, who will pay the big money for him .
16 Mar 2024 21:35:27
Hi Eds, do you know if we are scouting Rodrigo Muniz of Fulham? He is playing well.
{Ed002's Note - No, Liverpool are not scouting him.}
07 Mar 2024 21:32:47
Hi eds, 2 players i like to ask about. Any chance Fabio Cavalho could come back Liverpool? 2nd player is Lucas Paquetá of westham, are we scouting him and what are chances he come Liverpool?
{Ed002's Note - FB will be sold. LP is of no interest to Liverpool.}
1.) 07 Mar 2024 21:59:53
Paqueta is potentially facing a ban similar to Toney and Tonali, believe that’s why City pulled out of the deal in the summer last minute.
2.) 07 Mar 2024 22:07:48
Will Fabio carvalho’s future not depend on the new manager? Think he’s a very decent youngster myself.
{Ed002's Note - He will be available to be sold.}
3.) 07 Mar 2024 22:10:05
For a profit?
4.) 07 Mar 2024 22:31:02
Would you value him at 10 million or above? A shame it didn’t work out, I personally think he would be an asset that is likely to get better. But if we sell it would be nice to make a buck, I suppose.
5.) 08 Mar 2024 06:29:58
Be tough for carvalho to get any game time at us . He’s effectively 7/ 8th choice attacker .
With the wealth of talent coming from Kirkby in this next batch of young lads keeping carvalho would be a bad idea .
6.) 08 Mar 2024 08:51:11
There’s no doubt Carvalho is a talented player but from what I hear he’s a bit disruptive in the dressing room.
Wasn’t happy he wasn’t playing and making all kinds of demands. So we sent him to Leipzig to not play there instead.
It’s a shame because if he just showed patience, bided his time he could be a really good Premier League player. Shame he’s not got Elliott’s attitude.
7.) 08 Mar 2024 09:11:07
He's not going to be making an impact in the first team in the near future. It makes sense to sell him. We will get a profit and if we think that there is a chance he will develop into a real quality player we can put a buy-back/ first refusal clause in the deal.
8.) 08 Mar 2024 10:37:16
Could look to another loan in the prem then assess the season after.
9.) 08 Mar 2024 10:23:48
BP, I completely agree with your post there.
I remember back to when Elliot was breaking through and Carvalho was bought, there were comparisons. At the time they were both playing in the front line, both of their 'likely preferred' positions were a No 10 (the Pipco role) and most folks were saying there's nowhere for them to fit in given the system we tend to play.
Elliot has kicked on, adapted his game (as all teenagers/ young players do) and is now a very valuable first team player.
Carvalho, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to have taken the same opportunity.
It's probably best for all parties if he were sold. I think given his age and talent, we should be looking at the £10-£20m range (probably somehwere in between) for him.
10.) 08 Mar 2024 12:27:24
Agree with Jones Red, makes sense.
11.) 08 Mar 2024 19:03:14
@Zed, good post mate - agree with your view of things.
12.) 09 Mar 2024 07:38:07
Hopefully we sell him for a profit. Otherwise take the small loss.
Either way much better situation then being stuck with Prima Donna’s on mega wages and massive transfer fees
Yeah, FSGs way makes sense.
29 Dec 2023 10:29:10
Dear Eds, I really need your advice, Girona is top La Liga ahead of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Athletico. Surely they have good players Liverpool can pick off. Do you recommend any?
{Ed002's Note - What they have is an exceptional coach so if Liverpool were to sack Klopp then it would be worth trying for Michel. As for the players, Daley Blind is having a good season - and is a left footed CB who can also play at LB that you all crave for.}
1.) 29 Dec 2023 11:51:40
Girona are part of City Group, Lee. I’d rather us not have any dealings with them.
2.) 31 Dec 2023 12:20:48
I think that Ed002 is having a laugh with us suggesting that we go for the failed United player Daley Blind who is even older than Virgil.

Bem-vindo Amorim! YNWA! Auf wiedersehe Herr Klopp, you have been fun while it last. But Liverpool is greater than all its managers, we will miss you but we will not beg you to return. Now with our new Portuguese manager, we will be even stronger!
1.) 09 Apr 2024 16:46:11
You can thank me. I was in Lisbon yesterday.
2.) 09 Apr 2024 17:16:24
@Slowdog76. Hopefully you passed through a place called Fatima whilst out there. Should ensure Amorim signs ?.

6.) 09 Apr 2024 19:54:33
Amorim is michael Edwards chosen one. In fact rumours has that Alonso announced to stay in Leverkusen to save his own blushes, because Liverpool chose Amorim and not Alonso.

01 Mar 2024 21:05:39
Assuming salah sold 150mil and we spend 130mil to get Musiala. Is it possible?
1.) 01 Mar 2024 21:16:21
Mathematically, obviously!
2.) 01 Mar 2024 21:17:17
Salah doesn’t play for Arsenal though.
3.) 01 Mar 2024 21:42:44
I don't see us getting that much for Salah. Probably be around £60m. This was the season we would have got around the amount you're suggesting.
4.) 01 Mar 2024 21:44:27
Let me guess, he scored today?
5.) 01 Mar 2024 22:43:04
He would be way down the list.
6.) 01 Mar 2024 23:29:54
Spot on Thunderbird 2.
7.) 01 Mar 2024 23:38:33
Yup it’s absolutely doable. I swapped Mo to Bayern +40mil. Probably over spent but Musiala is the future!
8.) 02 Mar 2024 00:47:49
Doesn’t Musiala play LW/ AM? Also pretty sure ed said Liverpool had zero interest.
9.) 02 Mar 2024 08:31:02
IF! we had to swap Salah for anyone, I would rather go all out for Victor Osimhen. Think he had a realise clause of just north of 100m put in to his new contract and the goals he would bring to the team would go a long way to replacing Mo’s. With Victor central, Darwin on the left and Diaz on the right, that would be a front line that would scare the pants of any opposition. Might even try and get him without selling Salah, and play them together for a year or 3!
{Ed001's Note - Osimhen is a bit Lukaku-like for me. Can have a loose touch at times. Better than Lukaku, but still not sure it is suited to the Prem at the top end. I would not be interested in him personally as a replacement for Salah. Plus he is a Chelsea fan looking for a move there. He is an avoid for me.}
10.) 02 Mar 2024 08:44:09
Who would your pick be then Ed001? IF…you had to reinvest the “Salah money”?
{Ed001's Note - probably someone like Wirtz maybe. I don't know to be honest, I have not given it any thought as I am hoping that he stays a bit longer.}
11.) 02 Mar 2024 08:45:20
West Derby Wanderer3, that killed me, bro. Not sure why @Leek cares about Salah and whether he goes or he stays neither. Arsenal can't afford him, anyway.
12.) 02 Mar 2024 08:51:41
With no manager or Dof in place yet for next season who would be making the decision now on who would be outgoing and who is incoming.
I’d imagine the 3 huge contacts that need looking at will be decided from the business side of things as a new manager won’t have the luxury of time to make up his mind.
Although I’d imagine most managers would want to keep all 3.
13.) 02 Mar 2024 10:31:12
Oshimen is right footed and we also have Darwin so can’t see how he would fit into our team or indeed be a good replacement for Salah. Wirtz is also right footed, so again we could end up with our forward line predominantly right footed ?.
Off course if a new manager comes in he might have different ideas about setup, who knows ?♂️.
14.) 02 Mar 2024 14:58:03
Musiala would be TOP of the list for me! Absolute top player.
{Ed002's Note - The obsession with Chelsea youngsters continues.}
15.) 02 Mar 2024 14:58:03
Musiala would be TOP of the list for me! Absolute top player.
{Ed001's Note - good shout.}
16.) 02 Mar 2024 22:08:41
Crazy to think how many youngsters have left Chelsea and have been successful. Bad management or just buying whoever shows interest maybe their downfall.
17 Feb 2024 16:37:27
Wake up if you think being top of league means you are best. Arsenal is in title winning form. Last week 6-0 away westham, this week 4-0 away burnley, both difficult places to go.
1.) 17 Feb 2024 17:09:54
Leek I think it’s safe to say that all 3 sides Us, Arsenal and City are in title winning form hence any we are all so close at the top on points and goal difference.
Arsenal got themselves a great result today but so did we. Over to you City.
2.) 17 Feb 2024 17:14:28
West ham are in horrible form and Burnley are just horrible.
3.) 17 Feb 2024 17:16:06
Who said we were the best? Who needs to wake up?
We are top of the league which says that we are the team with the vest form so far this season.
4.) 17 Feb 2024 17:17:57
Being top of the league does mean you have the best record of any team to date. Factually speaking, that's how the league table works.
5.) 17 Feb 2024 17:33:30
@JK23, if a side can lose 3-1 to ArsenL, it is definitely not in title winning form. A title winning form doesn't let in cheap goals like the one by Toney.
6.) 17 Feb 2024 17:38:37
I would say beating Brentford on the road, 4-1, having several key players out is also pretty good form but I'm not a professional.
7.) 17 Feb 2024 17:42:22
Leek all teams lose mate including Arsenal and City.
Title winning form is over 38 games because no team ever wins the title just finishing the season strong.
And in regards to cheap goals they cost the exact same as letting In world class goals. It’s ensuring you score more goals than the opposition
I’m sure we’d love to win the league playing perfect every week but truth id snap your hand off right now to win this seasons league playing the worst kind of football in our history over the next 13 games.
8.) 17 Feb 2024 17:43:11

17.) 17 Feb 2024 19:02:36

Leek are you mad we are missing arguably 4/ 5 first team players and dispatched Brentford with relative ease . Top of the league and also managing an injury crisis
Arsenal are in great form yes but we don’t need to be blowing teams away we only need 3 points wether that’s a 1-0 win or a 5/ 6 -0 win I don’t care .
It’s in our hands . ??.

Lol "letting in a goal like Toney's isn't title winning form". Didn't realise outscoring the opponent was a bad thing. Good job we don't win all 38 league games 4-1 then or we'd be screwed ?.
11 Feb 2024 22:25:11
Seem like top teams like Arsenal, Citeh, manU, Spurs are going full throttle, intense on biz end of season. If we don't buck up, we will end season with nothing.
1.) 11 Feb 2024 22:36:23
Yet we are the ones at the top of the league and the only team out of the "top teams" to be in a final so far.
Unreal.

Buck up from what?
3.) 12 Feb 2024 00:12:08
If you look at PL clubs’ form you over their last 5 league games only City have gained more points than us - your observation is ridiculous @Lee.
4.) 12 Feb 2024 00:39:53
I think the last time Leek regarded Liverpool as “top team” was in the 90s and 00s when he was a Man Utd fan bemoaning SAF’s lack of European success and calling for him to get the sack.
5.) 12 Feb 2024 01:01:16
All those “top teams” who are coincidently not top.
6.) 12 Feb 2024 05:55:51
Are we going half throttle or something lol.
7.) 12 Feb 2024 06:16:36
Manchester United? The club that is 13 points behind us? You continue to embarrass yourself. You lack of football knowledge is matched only by your obsession with average Asian football players.
8.) 12 Feb 2024 06:39:04
Lee can I suggest you watch Carl Barron for an hour.
9.) 12 Feb 2024 07:32:32
Leek I’m guessing you’ve gone for a few nibbles here.
Currently we have the most hotly contested league title chase in premier league history and we are currently top of the pile.
It looks very much like the battle for the title is between us, City and Arsenal and then 4-6 it’s Spurs, Villa and Utd.
The advantage we potentially have is that Arsenal and City have to go full throttle in the CL whilst we could still utilise our squad in the Europa.
The disadvantage we have is that our squad is hit with injuries so we might actually lose that better squad advantage.
Looking at the fixtures all the top 6 teams still have to play each other and I think City on paper have the hardest games left as they have to play them all including Chelsea.
Whoever wins the league this season will have to fight till the very end for it.
I think there’s lots of twists and turns to go but I’d love to see Klopp go out with that open top bus around Liverpool with the premier league trophy.
What a send off that would be to the great man.
10.) 12 Feb 2024 08:58:09
For all you naysayers, did you watch arsenal beat westham away 6-0? Did you watch the swagger no panic performance of Citeh over Everton?
We lost against arsenal, it was a bad performance against a team determined correct past mistakes, they are learning.
The top of league position is deceptive as city has a game in hand. I am talking about the performance, which so far is not title winning.
11.) 12 Feb 2024 09:07:42
Hopefully we should have a few more players back for this weekend Allison, Gomez, Konate maybe Salah and Saboz. would be nice to have Connor but I understand if he’s not ready.
12.) 12 Feb 2024 08:14:26
JK23, ill counter that by saying our short term injuries could be to our advantage as those players are resting before the run-in. Whichever clubs get their first-team players injured in March/ April could find themselves hamstrung (excuse the pun) .
13.) 12 Feb 2024 08:23:20
I think if you left off Spurs and United, you would have got a better reaction. You made it too ridiculous to get serious reactions.
14.) 12 Feb 2024 09:43:36
Idreamofgin I think I didn’t explain truly what I meant in my first comment mate. I was talking advantage of being able to use our squad in Europe as City and Arsenal won’t be able too.
I expect all 3 teams to go as strong as physically possible in the league games from here in depending on fitness and injuries.
In Europa we’ve made 8 plus changes to weekend games.
15.) 12 Feb 2024 10:45:05
Leek not a naysayer mate. Just a difference of opinion. Keep posting away as I enjoy reading your posts regardless of if they are the opposite to mine.
16.) 12 Feb 2024 10:55:05
Would that be the same West Ham that we dismantled in the cup a couple weeks ago?
The same City that Liverpool got a creditable draw away from home against?
If you can't squeeze any joy out of the season so far then you’re in the wrong sport.
17.) 12 Feb 2024 10:29:34
We’ve done so well with basically half our first team squad since late December! Imagine us soon now that everyone is coming back from injuries.
City are our biggest rivals this season. Arsenals first team is very good but for me a few injuries can unravel them fast. Not to mention they’ve got away games left at the big teams which doesn’t favour them.
Either way let’s just enjoy the ride lads and Klopps final season. I remember how bad it got before klopp came and I’m just so glad we’ve got to really enjoy the football since he arrived.
18.) 12 Feb 2024 11:22:15
We didn’t play very well on Saturday, but Trafford made 7 saves.
Pickford made 1. I didn’t watch the City game, but I’m assuming from that stat that it wasn’t a walkover.
I know Everton aren’t a poor side but even without the 10 point deduction they’d still be lower half.
It doesn’t sound like City are flying to me.
Arsenal had a great result, but things can change very quickly in football.
All 3 teams are excellent on their day and will win the majority of their remaining games.
As JK says, whoever wins is going to have to fight for it.
They’ll need to play well, dig out some results, and have some luck along the way.
I just hope the team that wins in the end really deserve it, and that it’s not decided by some dodgy refereeing decisions.

"If we don't buck up, we will end season with nothing. "
Leek you see, I was with you until the absolute train wreck of a statement above. I know you like to make these comments to get a reaction and clearly it worked BUT seriously, that last part makes no sense at all.
Oh and I did see Arsenal beat WH 6-0. The same WH team we battered 5-1 and 3-1 and Anfield. The same WH that got cooked 5-0 at the mighty Fulham and smoke 3-0 at The Toilet. So what? We lost to Arsenal. Again, so what? We should pack it in and onto next season? City have a game in hand. You do know that we will also have a game in hand as well next week cos of the Cup final? You are also aware that if w win all our remaining games this season, we will WIN the title? Mate, do you even do any research at all before you spout your stuff? Clearly, not.
Look Leek, it seems you are trying to convince yourself by trying to convince others that we won't win the title and that an opinion you can have. However IMO, There's no need to start making strange and negative comments and calling people "naysayers" cos they disagree. Mate, get a grip.

I kind of get Leeks point regarding the performances. We have had a fair few games were we have been very shaky and needed a late goal or two to win it. Also, if some of the teams we played against finished their chances, it could be a totally different story.
It seems City have started one of their annoyingly good winning runs at the right time. They are also coasting through games and importantly, keeping clean sheets. With KDB and Haaland back, it is going to be very difficult to look beyond City winning another title.

I think we have looked better as the season has gone on myself. The early months looked a bit dodgy at times but we had a whole new midfield so we can forgive them. We seem to have gelled as a team as the seasons progressed and even rode out a period of injuries/ Asian and African cups. I think we are in great shape for the last leg of the season.

"it is going to be very difficult to look beyond City winning another title. ".
IMO, That will only be a thing IF anyone thought this would be easy. Many of us already know it will be very difficult and Im pretty sure the players and the staff know that as well. I don't think there is any need to be reminded of such things over and over again which many people think Leek is doing as if he is trying to convince himself by convincing the rest of us that we will find it tough to win the title.
News Flash: We all already knew that. No point reminding us of the flipping obvious. And then calling the rest of us "naysayers" cos we disagree with his take. That's not on, in my view either.

Thing is. Performances don’t win titles, wins and points do.
So far so good….

Ok so I watched City against Everton and to me they looked like they were struggling. They weren’t coasting or conserving energy they were struggling to create any chances of note. They then scored with their first attempt on target in the 70th minute from a set piece with a lucky deflection falling to Haaland. Even then Pickford should’ve saved it.
We created chance after chance against Burnley. It could and should’ve been more than 3-1 yet according to some it’s us that’s struggling?
Yes if Burnley take their chances it’s a different game just like if Everton take their chances it’s a different game for City. That’s football!
Arsenal winning 6-0 at West Ham is irrelevant the first 3 goals were from set pieces and West Ham just threw in the towel after the second goal. They didn’t put in a single tackle in the whole game actually.
It amazes me how so called Liverpool fans are so quick to laud other teams yet can’t see that our team are a results machine. We get the job done time and time again but because the opposition has a chance in the game we have to buck our ideas up? Seriously?
25.) 12 Feb 2024 13:56:19
Oli, its all a game of opinions at the end of the day. I think every LFC fan wishes to send Klopp off with another PL title and there may be some that constantly put down our chances purely so they don't feel to disappointed if/ when we don't win the title.
At least Leeks post has sparked a decent discussion, the banter page has been a bit slow the last few weeks for some reason, so I'mm up for seeing some fresh posts.
26.) 12 Feb 2024 16:38:39
Of course we judge teams on one performance and then start panicking.
Arsenal can win all their games from now until the end of the season with as much swagger as they want being 5-0 up inside 20 minutes.
They are relying on Liverpool dropping points to stay in the race so Arsenal are irrelevant.
It’s easy to play well when your chasing, much harder when you’re top of the pile - as Arsenal know only too well.
27.) 12 Feb 2024 18:21:52
At least he is consistent with his "surprising" (the mildest word I could think of) posts. ?.
28.) 12 Feb 2024 18:47:49
Ah Leek, that would be the West Ham that currently haven’t won (now) in 7 games and Everton who have won one in 11. Real benchmark results for Arsenal and City those.
For much of the season we have shown grit and determination. In a tight title battle that goes a long way.
01 Feb 2024 11:38:51
A testament to how great a man Klopp is. He is walking away from a team that is prime to achieve greatness, trophies next season. He built it, and then let it go. Most manager will milk the squad til it wanes but not klopp. He left Liverpool in best shape possible and will leave accolades to next manager. that's selfless and he just want the club to do well.
1.) 01 Feb 2024 11:57:33
I agree Lee. It really leaves in a much better position than Ferguson left United in when he left.
2.) 01 Feb 2024 12:52:28
Could be argued that this is our best ever squad strength and depth wise.
When we won the league we had Alison, Trent, Vvd, Robbo (who are all still here) and then Hendo’s leadership and the expectations on Salah and Mane to get the goals or Bobby to produce a bit of magic.
Last night it felt like every player on the pitch be it starting or coming off the bench could be a match winner and are a leader for us and that’s not even mentioning Mo who’s currently out injured.
This squads potential is endless. It’s just who will be at the helm to guide them.

Thanks Ed, brilliant.

Get that $ from egyptian king and invest in Samurai king Mitoma.

If TAA gets 360k, then Bradley deserve 280k, Robertson is creating chmaces from other flank should be at 250k for his age.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad!
Alexander Isak is 28 matches 17 goals this season in all competitions.

If you are Alonso who is Spanish, who will you join? Its no brainer.
09 Apr 2024 19:54:33
Amorim is michael Edwards chosen one. In fact rumours has that Alonso announced to stay in Leverkusen to save his own blushes, because Liverpool chose Amorim and not Alonso.

Burkeboy, nice try. Klopp doesn't focus on finishing. His training session is all about running, he like players who run a lot.
15 Mar 2024 14:20:21
@Kloppers, i do share your view point. Leverkusen could actually underestimate west ham. West ham is playing top football by the way they crush Freiburg. Will be real test for Leverkusen.
10 Mar 2024 21:00:31
We should not sugar coat. The target was to beat City, and we failed. The target was to maintain top position in league table, we failed. Real men don't sugar coat, and VVD in interview got it spot on, it was bitter sweet. We failed as team and as a club this evening.
