Ed2 I see some reports of Barcelona trying to sign Diaz this summer? Is that a possibility? Thanks.

Mighty reds

{Ed002's Note - I have dealt with this before.}


1.) 12 Mar 2024 12:55:05
Will Barcelona be able to afford the likes of Luiz Diaz?

I am not being Facetious Ed002, I genuinely do not know the state of there current financial situation.

{Ed002's Note - Barcelona's problems are wages so to add players they need to make room - and specifically need to make something like €250M of savings next season due to bonuses. Regardless what Deco says about keeping players, the likes of de Jong, Lewandowski, Christiansen, Raphina, Torres and Gundogan need to move on. Their issues are compounded by an FFP issue with EUFA in respoct of claiming future image rights now rather than for the applicable season. It is not a significant issue but UEFA want it to stop. They have some very good youngsters coming through like Lamine Yamal. They will look to offering players in part exchange. There may be interest in Diaz from the Middle East as well.}


2.) 12 Mar 2024 13:17:42
Thank You ED002, enjoy the rest of your day.

{Ed002's Note - Thanks.}


3.) 12 Mar 2024 14:06:03
I can see why a 27 year old player could be tempted by Barcelona. I have no idea why they might be tempted to go and semi-retire in the Middle East.


4.) 12 Mar 2024 14:30:23
johnnyr1970 - if you know where he and his family have come from, the opportunity of securing multi-generational wealth for his family and descendents might well trump a glittering sporting career and medal haul.

Same can be said of those big names that went to China a few years ago in the middle of their careers.

Difficult to dispute that decision if that is how they feel.


5.) 12 Mar 2024 15:05:15
Are we looking to sell Diaz? Might be interest from Barcelona but are we actively looking to move him on and if so are there any touted replacements of interest that you’ve heard on the grapevine?

{Ed002's Note - Replacing Salah would be far more important with Gagpo and Jota already at the club. Plenty of wide players who can play either side have been looked at.}


6.) 12 Mar 2024 15:59:53
Hi Ed002

Very informative as ever. Thank you!

Has Liverpool shown interest in any of Barcelona's younger players in recent times. Gavi was mentioned some time ago but I was thinking more under the radar names.

Perhaps you could share insights on who you think Liverpool should be looking at, if indeed Barcelona want to do a deal for Diaz?

While I am here, are you aware of anyone Liverpool is tracking as a possible replace for Diaz. Nico William appears likely to move this summer with many admirers.

Appreciate we have a few options for the LW in the squad already.

Much thanks!

{Ed002's Note - Raphinha is the only player where I know of interest.}


7.) 12 Mar 2024 16:03:17
Hi Ed002

Just seen you have replied to another person about possible Diaz replacements so feel free to ignore that part of my post.

Still intrigued to hear your thoughts on talent in the Barcelona academy we should be tracking.

Only if you have time, of course. :)

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool are not tracking anybody from the Barcelona Academy that I am aware of. Lamine Yamal is attracting interest from PSG but he cannot move to Liverpool.}


8.) 12 Mar 2024 19:57:47
Hi Ed002. Interesting thread, thanks.

From a football-business perspective, you say that de Jong, Lewandowski, Christiansen, Raphina, Torres and Gundogan need to move on to free up wages, but now they are signed to a contract on those wages how easy is it for Barce to sell them? The buying club would presumably have to match the (inflated? ) wage or else the player could decide that they would prefer to stay where they are.

The same applies to the 15 or so players that Chelsea are reportedly looking to offload this summer. If any of these are the players signed to 8 year contracts on high wages, unless a team can match those terms and conditions are Chelsea stuck with them?

{Ed002's Note - The situation at Barcelona and Chelsea is totally different. Not all Barcelona players have particularly high wages - they are working on it.}


9.) 13 Mar 2024 07:43:05
Diaz going nowhere this summer. Nothing to see here, move along.


10.) 13 Mar 2024 09:37:25
There isn’t one Barcelona player who they’re willing to offload that is worth considering in any case.


11.) 13 Mar 2024 15:54:05
Are PSG interested in luis Diaz, Ed?

{Ed002's Note - I would very much doubt it given the very clear targets identified already as potential Mbappe replacements.}


12.) 13 Mar 2024 18:54:19
Diaz is 1 of the first names on the team sheet and politely tell Barcelona to Fook off. Sell them Gakpo instead.

{Ed025's Note - yeah magico, but with the money you get you could buy a chicken with a head mate.. :)


13.) 13 Mar 2024 19:20:32
Thanks for the reply, Ed.


14.) 14 Mar 2024 08:06:01
Lol Ed025. Mind you, there's plenty of cocks at Barca.

{Ed025's Note - ain’t there just Jaw..


 

 

23 Aug 2023 18:28:43
Ed 2 is there an interest in Kalvin Phillips from Liverpool?

Mighty reds

{Ed002's Note - Kalvin Phillips (DM) Do not rule out Manchester City letting Kalvin Phillips go as they have a replacement in mind to upgrade him. He has been offered around and Liverpool may well be keen - he has large tongue sized ears. Aston Villa or West Ham may provide a wildcard option. The player will likey resist a move but Manchester City would be happy to let him move on. For me, it seems there is interest from Liverpool - but I remain rather surprised.


1.) 23 Aug 2023 20:02:24
Agree it is surprising I’d have gone for Doucoure personally should that come to pass.


2.) 23 Aug 2023 20:03:19
Ed2 thanks for the info.


3.) 23 Aug 2023 20:40:43
Thanks for the info, Ed002. Do you think his large tongue sized ears would make a Liverpool bid more or less likely?

{Ed002's Note - If KP likes the dampness and the slurping sounds.}


4.) 23 Aug 2023 22:13:01
Never noticed his ears before, thanks Ed002.


5.) 23 Aug 2023 22:56:13
Hope we miss this one. Was surprised City went for him. Rather press on w what we have now.


 

 

19 Aug 2023 09:02:28
Ed2 Arthur Theate of Rennais is there any interest in him?

Mighty reds

{Ed002's Note - Arthur Theate (CB) Moved to Rennes last summer and they have no interest in selling and that was explained to Fulham who enquired. RBL had him on the list of potential Gvardiol replacements but have added another player instead. I am not aware of any approach by Liverpool.}


 

 

14 Aug 2023 19:38:25
Ed2 do you see Andre being an option now we have missed out on Lavia and Caicedo?

Mighty reds

{Ed002's Note - Not immediately without a huge amount of grief.}


 

 

10 Aug 2023 11:41:21
Ed2 have we made a bid for Caicedo from Brighton?

Mighty reds

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea popped out to complete the Tyler Adams transfer and Matt Law is reporting Liverpool have made some huge bid - I am not aware of it but will try and find out later - but Chelsea were ready to step away as they did now want to go over the £100M that Brighton want.}


1.) 10 Aug 2023 12:03:24
Got a feeling this is just a PR stunt - trying to spin the whole Lavia scenario before our match at the weekend.


2.) 10 Aug 2023 12:07:50
sorry Ed i asked the same question and when i went back out of the rumours form this was up.


3.) 10 Aug 2023 12:33:39
I got excited for 5 minutes until the journos started immediately playing it down. Not actually official bid, just more meaningless buzzwords like “made contact” and “exploring” while the club still believe he prefers Chelsea.

Personal opinion, just another PR brief to make it look like we’re in for top end players we have no intention of signing. Now Bellingham has moved to another club as have to use someone else.


4.) 10 Aug 2023 12:40:35
Eds has Liverpool under Klopp really made a bud for a player who already has not accepted to join them? Idk if there is a real bid I think Caicedo is playing with both clubs.

{Ed002's Note - Caicedo is not "playing" with any clubs.}


5.) 10 Aug 2023 12:48:08
I hope to god we are not stupid enough to pay £100m for Caicedo. He’s not even worth half that.

If this happens I really do give up.


6.) 10 Aug 2023 12:48:16
PR stunt? lol the FSG hate is real lol.


7.) 10 Aug 2023 13:21:54
@Beckers, the general opinion on this board is you just rock up and pay whatever the selling club want. Easy peasy.


8.) 10 Aug 2023 13:22:32
Caicedo is worth £70M imo and I would love it if we signed him but I don't think we should go over £80M which it sounds like Brighton would reject anyway (they may have already rejected more than that from Chelsea) .

Lavia would be a very good signing as well so hopefully we can get him at an achievable £48M.

Tyler Adams would 100% be backup squad depth for Chelsea and he isn't good enough imo. I'm glad we aren't going for him, even if he is available for £25M.

Ed 1 did you follow how Owen Beck dis in his loan in Scotland and is he good enough to be a first team squad member? Thanks.

Mighty reds

{Ed001's Note - to be fair he was on the fringes of the first team before the loan, so yes good enough, but had no chance while both Robbo and Tsimikas were there in front of him. He played really well in Scotland, every time he faced Rangers or Celtic, both sets of fans raved about how he did. That is why he was brought back, rather than Chambers just getting his chance, I believe.}


1.) 03 Jan 2024 08:51:52
Is Chambers more of a CB that can play LB or is he a LB 1st that can cover CB Ed? Is he tall enough to play CB?

{Ed001's Note - it is a bit early to know that, as I am not sure if he has finished growing up yet. Some people have growth spurts very late, others are fully grown much younger.}


2.) 03 Jan 2024 10:49:31
Will Chambers go on loan then do you reckon? Still have Scanlon there too who looks ahead of Chambers from what I’ve seen.


3.) 04 Jan 2024 07:36:03
I think a loan at end of month is best for chambers now that beck there and that's presuming robbo back end of month. chambers hasn't shown much so far tbh although he played in couple of games which we heavily changed and left everything bit disjointed. A loan to a good team at a good level is maybe just what he needs.


 

 

26 Dec 2023 08:27:45
Ed1 do you know much about Scanlon, Chambers or McConnell? Which one is more ready to step up to the first team squad, I know that Bradley is ahead of these, just wondering of which is the next, merry Christmas to you all.

Mighty reds

{Ed001's Note - not convinced any of them are ready - but that is why they need chances, to learn what they need to improve on to be ready. McConnell looks ahead of the other two, but we lack a left-back which means the other two are more likely to get a game or two.}


1.) 26 Dec 2023 12:58:50
Hello ed1. On the subject of Chambers, there lot of talk that he v highly rated, rumoured that leverkusan where looking him on loan in the summer. I've seen him play twice this season and on both occasions he didn't look within a mile of being 1st team ready. I understand both games we had a 'mixed up' team of youth and squad players and it unfair to judge a young lad as it always disjointed performance but i have to say i was disappointed in him as offered nothing going forward or defensively.

{Ed001's Note - but, like you said, he was in a mixed up team that performed poorly, so difficult to judge. He needs games.}


2.) 26 Dec 2023 14:17:41
I think bradley could be useful in midfield or attack as he has bundles of energy and pace but at rightback if he can become defensively trustworthy he is a real asset, at the moment i am unsure due to the experience factor, in the next couple of years mcconnell will be playing in our squad regularly he looks really promising. I am surprised bobby clark hasn't played he looks quality also.


3.) 26 Dec 2023 17:04:12
I imagine Klopp would want to look at Bajcetic and Morton before integrating anybody else into midfield. But you never know.

From what I know Bobby Clark was injured until very recently. And he just signed a long term contract with LFC, so I assume he's valued by the club and they have a plan for him.


4.) 26 Dec 2023 18:11:55
V highly rated is v different to the finished article. Needs games like loads of guys do.


5.) 26 Dec 2023 20:55:13
What I would say is all youth players only get a few chances mixed team or not they need to grab the bull by the horns.
Remember Curtis Jones playing in the Fa cup game against Everton and scoring that goal puts money in the bank to earn them selfs time.
For me I can’t judge the left backs but I don’t see young Bradley getting too many more chances unless he does something soon.
Think he has made about 6 attempts in cup games for us and looked average every time so he needs to do something soon or I see him gone in the summer.


6.) 26 Dec 2023 23:57:11
Bradley has only played three times for us this season Grino, and each of those appearances was just after he came back from an injury that saw him miss out on the second half of pre-season. Rushing him and giving him a deadline until the end of the season would be of no benefit to him.


 

 

28 Sep 2023 17:17:38
Ed1 has Quansah surprised you that he is looking comfortable and ready to play that top level? I think you said at the start of the season that technically he was but not sure physically, sorry if I miss quoted you, anyway I have been well impressed with him, also has a bit of arrogance on the ball, looks a great find.

Mighty reds

{Ed001's Note - physically he is fine, it is the mental side that is the issue. He has looked ready though. So yes he has surprised me, but I am really glad to see it, I love to see the youngsters make the step up.}


1.) 28 Sep 2023 18:44:32
Quansah has impressed me no end, early days buy I think makings of great player there . not many cbs can run down wing and control ball with left foot and then cross with there righ.


2.) 28 Sep 2023 18:44:47
It’s early days, but I am impressed with how he is performing, maybe, just maybe, the decision not to go for a centre half this summer is because they feel this kid can step in, and early signs are promising. Would much rather have quansah, a kid right the way through the ranks step up and make the grade rather than spending millions. This would make 3 scousers in the team from the academy, long may it continue.


3.) 28 Sep 2023 19:24:51
Let’s not put to much pressure on the lad. He’s done great so far but so did many a youngster that didn’t make it, Phillips and Williams proved their worth but didn’t maintain that initial step up. All that said very impressed with the lad though. Let’s hope he keeps it going.


4.) 28 Sep 2023 19:34:41
Ed01 I told you we had a real one here with Quansah. Still early doors but the kid flashes, mate. So happy we have him and he is getting valuable game time esp. in pressure situations.

I mean, pressure moments don't come any more than that Newcastle game were we were staring down the barrel of humiliation where he would actually make his senior debut and he flashed during the game as well. Again, we got a real one right here, mate.


5.) 29 Sep 2023 06:40:22
Westwood666, while you are correct in not putting too much pressure on the kid, I don't think the comparison to Phillips and Williams holds. Even when they were playing it was obvious what their deficiencies were (lack of any pace for Williams, passing ability for Philips), so it was likely that they would only be stop gap solutions. But till now, Quansah hasn't really showed any weaknesses to his game, and looks like someone who can potentially be a long term fixture in the squad. Long may it continue.


6.) 29 Sep 2023 07:09:37
Ed001 if he does make the grade is there a left footed cb you would like the club to sign to partner him in the future. I know you like Gvardiol and Colwill but is there anybody we could looked to as Virgil long term reference.

{Ed001's Note - he might well end up playing on the left like Virgil to be fair and there are not many left-footed ones out there. Bastoni is a standout. Ignacio is an obvious one as well. I would take Branthwaite from the Toffees as well.}


7.) 29 Sep 2023 08:42:17
The difference between Quansah compared with Phillips and Williams is that they’re both quite limited footballers and weren’t the most mobile or quick, Quansah looks quick, mobile, physically imposing as well as being technically very decent, doesn’t treat the ball like a hand grenade and has a lovely pass on him on top of being a decent defender. Say it quietly but he could be the real deal. The fact he hasn’t looked out of place says a lot.


8.) 29 Sep 2023 08:45:38
Quansah for free or Van Der when or someone similar for 40m. i know which id go for.


9.) 29 Sep 2023 09:31:59
Klopp likes our young left-footed centre-back Billy Koumetio. If he does well in his loan spell he could progress into the first-team squad.


10.) 29 Sep 2023 09:43:15
Branthwaite looks special as does Jimmy garner, can see the toffees being the surprise package of the season now they've a couple of strikers.


11.) 29 Sep 2023 10:51:58
Dont see Billy making it here sadly.


12.) 29 Sep 2023 11:18:57
Billy's loan spell gas gone poorly so far, as has his previous ones. I do agree with Jude in that it doesn't looked likely that he will make it with us. He could do a Kane and be awesome for us despite his loan spells but I just can't see that happening.


13.) 29 Sep 2023 12:26:53
Seems Billy is not progressing. I just hope he still makes it as a pro even if it's not with us.


14.) 29 Sep 2023 12:28:22
Viktor Vaughn, you never cease to amaze. A positive post about one of our players. But I fully agree with you. Say it quietly but this kid has a very good upside. Fingers crossed.


15.) 29 Sep 2023 13:05:01
Scalvini is right-footed but frequently plays on the left as well.


16.) 29 Sep 2023 13:30:53
I can't see Billy being a hero.


17.) 29 Sep 2023 14:39:55
Lads a unit! Hope he cements a place in that back line.


18.) 29 Sep 2023 15:05:22
Oh Rigsby. How very 70's. You have to be off a certain age. Unfortunately I am.


19.) 29 Sep 2023 18:19:51
Klopp may have liked Billy K. when he first arrived but he won't have been impressed by the player's absolute refusal to be coached since then.


20.) 29 Sep 2023 21:25:16
This is the season for blodding youngsters as we have no CL football.

Long may it continue.


21.) 29 Sep 2023 22:30:59
Our "midweek" team is looking very decent. Quansah not out of place at all. Has a Virgil like arrogance about him that will serve him well. I think we've got a good one on our hands.


22.) 30 Sep 2023 00:31:25
Luke Chambers who has gone underneath 5he radar so far this season is obviously in the club’s thoughts having come on against Leicester. He seems to be travelling along the same development path as Quansah. He’s left footed I believe and whilst he seems to be primarily a LB he can also play LCB.

Maybe the next one from the Academy to say us tens of millions, perhaps. He’s been at the club since he was 6 so knows the way we work and, hopefully, what he needs to do.

I keep saying it but potentially the modernising of the academy is probably the best thing FSG has overseen since buying the club.


 

 

26 Aug 2023 13:49:52
Ed1 have you watched much of Bobby Clark mate? If so how highly do you rate him? And what plans do the club have for him? Thanks.

Mighty reds

{Ed001's Note - a bit and he is excellent technically but doesn't read the game well and is far too flash. Style over substance a lot of the time I think, which is almost the complete opposite of his dad. Needs proper football to learn the game rather than academy stuff.

The club like him but he is not yet challenging for a first team place.}

Why would salah want to leave, a league that has massive crowds and the most competitive and somewhere you can still prove your the best, to go to a league with crowds in averages with the lower Scottish leagues and is just a retirement league, Salah as plenty of years to go to Saudi.

Ed1 wow amazing how a player like Benzema as that much so called power but as you say he is being found out himself now? I think that's the impressive thing about Klopp he seems to pick the right characters to buy into his collective.

Mighty reds

{Ed001's Note - there is just research done (usually anyway) on a player's background. It reduces the risk of the wrong type of person coming in.}

You have to be careful with loan players, because they can't play for us if you want to loan them to a different club other than there original loan as they can't register for 3 clubs in a season.
