Good morning Ed’s…. just a quick question for yous. Are Andre, Thuram or Kone still of any interest for January or next summer would you think. Especially Andre in January. Cheers guys.

Magico1234

{Ed002's Note - Andre Trindade (DM) Recommended to Liverpool as Fabinho cover a couple of years ago. Arsenal have scouted the player and may well make a move prior to the January Window with Edu being praised as being more respectful than a representative of another club. Prior interest of Barcelona and Braga has gone. Fulham are keen to take him if Bayern Munich return and they lose Palinha - but there is a catch for interested parties who have been told must be resolved. Fluminense only own 80% of his rights and that would need to be addressed. They will also seek perhaps €40M including add ons. I would not rule out Napoli but they may be some way off meeting the transfer fee or indeed Manchester United who will need a Casemiro replacement. I am not aware of any agreement between Liverpool and Fluminense just yet but there is the possibility of completing the transfer for January although they will have competition. Fluminense have a replacement lined up.
Khephren Thuram (DM/CM) Nice felt they were messed around by clubs in the summer and then the player picked up an injury. Interest of Spurs, Liverpool and, in particular, Juventus remains. Interest of Newcastle will likely fall away. If interest further grows his price will rise and the club would sell given the emergence of Alexis Beka Beka and an impressive youngster in Reda Belahyane. Real Madrid have him on a list of potential additions given they are facing midfield departures in the summer - and I would not rule them, or indeed Manchester City, out. Player wants PSG but they have no interest at this time - but his representative is pushing PSG and will encourage the player to wait out the year and see what happens.
Manu Kouadio Kone (CM/DM) Prior interest of Milan has gone. Newcastle did approach Borussia Muenchegladbach but they will resist a sale although Newcastle remain keen. RBL were keen to add Kone to replace Laimer but that interest, like the interest of Bayern Munich has gone. Juventus and Liverpool may have a continuing interest but I expect both to look elsewhere.}

Any truth in this eds? Andre Trindade, a 22-year-old from Fluminese. Holding midfielder apparently. New name drop. Doubt it myself.

Magico1234

{Ed002's Note - Andre Trindade (DM Recommended to Liverpool as Fabinho cover a couple of years ago. Prior interest of Barcelona and Braga has gone. Fulham are keen to take him if the lose Palinha and Liverpool could potentially add him to their list of options - but there is a huge catch. Fluminense only own 80% of his rights and that would need to be resolved. They will also seek perhaps €40M including add ons.}


1.) 25 Jul 2023 13:55:11
I like the look of this player. Good against the press and breaking up opposition play. Looks like he can beat a man too.


2.) 25 Jul 2023 14:58:46
Do you think it would be a risk Ed002 compared to others we’ve looked at?

Wolves signed a highly rated Brazilian holding midfielder last season (Joao Gomes) from Flumieense in the Brazilian league who has taken time to settle into the PL.

I would prefer we target premier league proven or at least European league proven players.

{Ed002's Note - There has to be a level of risk given his age and experience, and as you say it may well take time for him to settle. And yes, I think that there are better options on the list for Liverpool.}


3.) 25 Jul 2023 15:46:44
Thanks Ed. Palinha out for a while with his disclocated shoulder? and did we seriously have him on the list of possible targets. Decent player.


4.) 25 Jul 2023 16:14:19
Klopp did say he wished the club would take more risks re transfers, Trindade could be a viable, Ali could aid his settling.

However, playing both sides of this debate, SB is already in the first team, Lavia has experience and 3 years younger.

I’m not the person to say how Trindade will develop or Lavia either, but SB looks an awesome prospect to me.


5.) 25 Jul 2023 18:54:40
Kew17, we did take more risks in the TW last season for the disaster that we all know off with 3 of the 4 signings we made being gone already while Darwin as well was a huge risk so IMO, we are taking the risks in this context, IMO.

However with the way things panned out last season, it would not be strange to hear that we are being a bit more pragmatic in this window, making sure that we have all our ducks in a row before we pull the trigger.


6.) 25 Jul 2023 19:35:05
Good points Oilred, wasn’t thinking of last season windows, cheers, can’t disagree with your points.


 

 

23 Apr 2023 21:33:59
Apparently. jude really really wants liverpool this summer. judes representatives been talking to liverpool for ages
We did offer a little over 85m in the last couple of weeks
Dortmund want him to sign a new contract with a release clause of 80m next summer.
This is not over.

Magico1234

1.) 23 Apr 2023 22:22:51
It won’t be over until the lad retires from the game and even then it might not stop.


2.) 23 Apr 2023 22:40:38
I think we should sign him and play him at right back. Trent is our new midfielder now.


3.) 24 Apr 2023 00:40:05
Thank god Joaquin is retiring at the end of the season, otherwise he'd be on his way to Anfield this summer (! )


4.) 24 Apr 2023 07:04:57
Forget it OP. It’s not happening.


5.) 24 Apr 2023 09:31:39
Lets hope it doesn't get wheeled out by the likes of James Pearce and Paul Gorst as an excuse for a half-baked rebuild this summer.

Keep hearing rumours of keita nearly agreeing new contract. surely not eds?

Magico1234

{Ed002's Note - I know no more than I have previously explained.}


1.) 28 Sep 2022 16:07:36
Klopp clearly wants to keep him so.


2.) 28 Sep 2022 19:42:30
Keita has 'nearly agreed a new contract' since the middle of last season.


3.) 28 Sep 2022 20:43:18
You do realise that the club also uses the contract to get a fee should then the player be sold. Just cuz he's signing a new one doesn't mean he won't be gone come the summer. The Naby Keita project is done for me. Good luck.


4.) 28 Sep 2022 22:33:16
Why would he sign a new contract, only to be sold in the summer! Not in his best interests at all would make no sense for him.


5.) 28 Sep 2022 22:20:53
New contract also makes him harder to get shot of if he’s on an improved wage. I’m hoping it’s all just newspaper nonsense as there’s no logical reason for extending his contract.


6.) 29 Sep 2022 18:43:26
He doesn't deserve a new contract. that's the point. We give him a new contract and he'll just play sick for another 3 years the waste of space. Let the clown go for nothing or try and offload him in January for minimal fee.


7.) 29 Sep 2022 18:43:26

8.) 29 Sep 2022 22:40:10
Jimble how often does it happen that someone is given a contract extension and then sold the following window on the basis that he's not needed?

I'd wager it's at best an infrequent occurrence at PL level.


9.) 30 Sep 2022 00:49:02
Suarez left in the next window after his new contract, but didn't we give that to him to take out that ridiculous £40m+ fee clause that he had in his old one?

{Ed002's Note - No.}


10.) 30 Sep 2022 23:55:50
Both Suarez and Coutinho left shortly after signing new contracts. I'd wager that both player and LFC knew that the player was moving on and that the new contract was signed to enable the club to ask a higher price and for the player to ask for a higher wage, from the new buyer.


 

 

05 Jul 2022 09:33:39
Is sangare of serious interest to us eds?

Magico1234

{Ed002's Note - I have no way to measure "serious".


1.) 05 Jul 2022 10:22:23
Minor interest:
Our scouts have watched him.

General interest:
We've spoken to his agent.

Interest:
We've enquired direct with his club.

Serious interest:
Klopp has illegally met with him in Blackpool for fish and chips.

What stage are we at Ed002?


2.) 05 Jul 2022 10:34:15
A measurement is an observation that quantitatively reduces uncertainty. Measurements might not yield precise, certain judgments, but they do reduce your uncertainty.


3.) 05 Jul 2022 11:40:54
It's not major interest until Ed002 tells us Klopp has had his tongue down his throat!


4.) 05 Jul 2022 11:52:25
Unless you are asking if the glass is half empty or the glass is half full.


5.) 05 Jul 2022 12:41:16
I'll take all that as q no then lads.


6.) 05 Jul 2022 12:47:54
Hi ed,

Thank you for always providing us liverpool's transfer information. Some of news has mentioned and linked lfc with Matheus nunes and Cody gakpo?
Appreciate if you can share your thoughts Ed.
Thank you once again and have a great day.

{Ed002's Note -
Matheus Nunes (CM/DM) Manchester City, Newcastle and Spurs have all sent scouts but it has gone no further. Manchester United see him a financial more viable Matic replacement than other options. Wolves will look to add him if Neves is sold after losing out on Palhinha. His agent has offered the player to Barcelona. Everton interest was rebuffed last summer and whilst it still remains, a move to Everton seems unlikely and Wolves could win out after discussions. Player needs convincing about a move to England.

Cody Gakpo (W/F) Versatile forward having his best season at PSV. Rejected the option to move to Bayern Munich last year as they would not give any guarantees of game time as he wants to be a starter. Leeds will offer him that as a Raphina replacement. Atalanta had an approach rejected. Has been watched by a number of Premier League sides, including Manchester City, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool (who opted for Diaz) and Arsenal (who now have Martinelli doing well). Arsenal have been looking at more versatile players but their real need is for a Pepe replacement in the summer in addition to a Lacazette replacement - so they could yet look to him again - but would he start over Martinelli?. Gakpo extended his contract in January and PSV together with their new coach want to keep him regardless of the interest. They will work hard to avoid a sale.}


7.) 05 Jul 2022 12:50:32
The issue with not signing someone like Sangare is that Neither Ox, nor Jones nor Elliot are defensively minded, plus 4/ 5 of our MF's are injury prone .
Look what happens when Fab is injured or playing at CB.


8.) 05 Jul 2022 19:45:29
Eds2 i will send you a ruler.


9.) 05 Jul 2022 21:23:09
Hello spaceman, your impeccable standards have resumed once more, you are correct we do require a more defensive midfielder, any chance TAA could perform that role if needed? but think you will say he's also too attack minded, it's not a bad trait to have you know, on the lines of "Who Dares Wins" (Jurgens Football Motto) .


10.) 06 Jul 2022 01:03:59
When we have this conversation you have to include Matip 007, or at least, that’s what we normally do.

Sometimes we go on to say that Liverpool aren’t, according to the club themselves, aren’t going to buy anybody else in this window. Then we have a bit about ‘never say never’ (usually inspired by those who play Prmier League Manager) who say that the club are just providing a bit of dis-information and that we will be signing whoever has been mentioned on social media within the last quarter of an hour.

I believe Ed02, who is by a distance far more informed than the rest of us on such matters is (or at least was) of the opinion that the club is in the market for a midfield player should an appropriate opportunity arise and, as I say, he is nearly always on the money.

Watch out for someone mentioning Jude Bellingham coming in or Naby or Ox leaving - they are generally the triggers for this daily conversation ??.


11.) 06 Jul 2022 08:22:11
Any chance of us selling Naby and Ox to get Bellingham in?


12.) 06 Jul 2022 11:35:53
Next season Flash promise ??.


13.) 06 Jul 2022 11:50:41
???.

OK I understand with klopp after the interview and understanding his reasons. and to say he will never coach another club in England. Not work with another club team or national side for the next 12 months. . but could I ask the eds why then does ljinders and several of the backroom staff go too? That doesn't sit right sorry. Don't for a second want ljinders to take over but why is he not stickying around. Do you think the next manager is already lined up to take over with his own backroom staff? If the owners were told in November they have had 3 months to do so.

Magico1234

{Ed001's Note - why would they stay? They rarely do these days. I think you are a bit stuck in the 70s mate.}


1.) 26 Jan 2024 13:23:00
Maybe I am mate haha. But obviously ljinders wasn't offered the position to succeed klopp as previously thought by some supporters. Would you think the owners have the position in hand then.

{Ed001's Note - I would hope so, but it is more likely that the announcement was to head off a leak.}


2.) 26 Jan 2024 14:01:13
Indeed, Ed01. I read the same thing as well that a replacement may already be lined up if the rest of Klopp's crew are leaving as well. Hoping this is the case.

@Magico, chill man. A bit OTT, don't you think?


3.) 26 Jan 2024 14:36:11
With Schmadtke leaving at the end of Jan now as well, although expected at some point, it seems like there's some kind of plan in place.

I'd hoped it had maybe all been done behind closed doors before the announcement but Xabi's comments suggest he hasn't committed to anything although he could be playing coy ;)


4.) 26 Jan 2024 15:45:03
Xabi is hardly going to say he’s joining Liverpool in the position he’s in at the moment.


5.) 26 Jan 2024 16:21:09
Julian Nagelsmann contract with Germany only runs until July 2024. Could be something there.

{Ed002's Note - No, Klopp will want some time off.}


6.) 26 Jan 2024 17:22:10
What part of my post was OTT?


7.) 26 Jan 2024 21:28:12
I meant the other way around Ed, JN potentially to LFC.

{Ed002's Note - I would expect him to be considered.}


 

 

26 Jan 2024 12:08:20
Absolutely devastating news. As someone said previously. It's like king Kenny all over again.
And as the Ed said. Alonso has to be the man brought in.

Magico1234

1.) 26 Jan 2024 12:29:00
I don't see anyone else out there doing what Xabi's doing so it has to be him, IMO.

As for Klopp, he has emptied his heart at the club and seriously, needs to go find another purpose in his life and learn how to live in society again. I am more concerned about that than anything else. I hope he does find a new purpose for him, his family.


2.) 26 Jan 2024 15:39:09
I think we’d all love Alonso but 1 year into his own project could be a bit too soon for him I fear.

I actually wouldn’t be completely averse to giving Lijnders a go as he knows the players, system and the club really well already.

The domination of the 70s and 80s was built on continuity and only faltered when we went outside of that with Souness who ditched a lot of the old ways.

It’s not what I ideally would want but like you said Oli, other than Alonso there is no one else out there.

So who's available for the match tomorrow? Trent, thiago, konate still out? Obviously vvd is still missing. Anymore updates.

Magico1234

1.) 15 Sep 2023 13:31:31
Trent out. Thiago out. Virgil suspended. Nunez a doubt.

Konate available.

3.) 15 Sep 2023 15:49:38
Cheers. What's up with nunez then. Gomez rb.


4.) 15 Sep 2023 16:18:19
Seems that way. My expectations would be Gomez RB, Matip and Endo at CB, with a midfield trio of Szobo, Macca, and Jones.


5.) 15 Sep 2023 16:54:31
Endo at cb instead of konate? I can't see it myself. Be good to have a decent look at him. 3 points lads.


6.) 15 Sep 2023 18:18:18
Muscle problem for Nunez I heard. Plus being relatively late back means the club haven't been able to assess it properly yet.


7.) 15 Sep 2023 20:27:31
We might be surprised with Gravenberch starting at either DM or CM (because of Mac Allister's late return) . I'm aware that's not the usual Klopp way, but then what's a squad of 25 for? And plus, Bajcetic is fully available now.


8.) 16 Sep 2023 00:06:07
@Magico, if needed I can get there at midday with my boots.


9.) 16 Sep 2023 00:12:52
I’m actually enjoying wondering what the team will be - it’ll be really interesting to see who starts and in what position. I’ll go with

Ali,

Joe, Joel, Ibou, Robbo

Dom, Endo, Curtis

Mo, Diogo, Luis

With Baj, Ryan and Cody getting time (Endo replacing Ibou at the back with Baj @ DM, Ryan replacing Curtis and Cody replacing Diogo) depending on how the match is going.


10.) 16 Sep 2023 00:54:03
My bad. Slipped my mind that Konate was already back. In that case, it'll most likely be Konate with Matip at CB with Gomez at RB.


 

 

14 Aug 2023 09:09:15
Eds who would be your preferred dm out of Fernando Luis and sangare? I'd be happy with either.

Magico1234

{Ed001's Note - I have not seen Sangare play.}


1.) 14 Aug 2023 10:49:08
Luis is a wily operator with a very similar style to Fabinho. He's very good at reading the play and likes to use those telescopic legs like prime Fab did.

I don't see the fuss about Sangare other than him being a unit. He's not even that good in the air for someone that is 6'3. He'll also be off to the AFCON.

Lavia and Kone for me.
Luis could be really expensive.

Rumoured wolves are wanting about 80m for Neto, very good player, good age group and salahs replacement possibly. Could be a very shrewd buy but expensive. Some1 else will defiantly pay the fee though, so it shouldn’t be about the price…. injuries are a concern though.

You don’t sell players like Trent…. end of. He’s too good. You sell him city and Real Madrid will be all over him and they'll be strengthened. Throw him in the midfield…. but you keep him, he’s the future captain.

If salah goes he’ll need replacing, no other forward we have goes over that side and does a good enough job I’m afraid. So saying that if salah doesn’t go we find a good youngish rw/ rf player to be understudy to salah in preparation. Easier said than done obviously. Kostas goes for me, there is better out there. And Gomez is surely seen as a back up lb or rb so with matip apparently going a cb is required.
So a cb, salah replacement or understudy and a midfielder also. Let’s not rest on our loyals.
The kids barring quansah and Bradley aren’t quite ready yet, just my opinion.
