Hi Ed001 would Nico Williams be attainable if Diaz departed. Would rather keep Diaz but looks like suadi interest may see a departure.
{Ed001's Note - it is very difficult to buy a player from Athletic as they have no need of the money. They are probably the most cash rich club in the world as there are so few players they can buy. That allows them to pay higher wages on average than most. Unless he agitated for a move, he is not attainable.}
1.) 31 May 2025 11:28:05
I do really respect the ethos over at Athletic, they their heritage extremely seriously and won't dilute it silverware. If they had an academy like La Masia imagine how special they'd be.
{Ed001's Note - their academy is better than La Masia, which just goes round stealing every other team's best talents. They don't, they coach their players. La Masia is a scam, Yamal was 15 according to La Masia, 4 years ago, yet now he is 17.}
2.) 31 May 2025 11:41:24
I reckon we go back for Gordon or hopefully Rogers just for HG purposes.
3.) 31 May 2025 12:03:29
Two very good shouts OneKiss.
4.) 31 May 2025 12:04:41
I think there's a release clause for Nico, though I don't know if it's available to foreign clubs. The biggest barrier for interested clubs appears to be his current salary.
{Ed001's Note - all players in Spain and Portugal have to have a release clause, it is mandatory.}
5.) 31 May 2025 12:08:51
Why is there so few players they can buy Ed? Don't know much about them myself.
{Ed001's Note - because they only use Basques or those with Basque-roots. A very small pool of players, which is why they have the best academy in world football.}
6.) 31 May 2025 12:09:53
Am I reading correctly ed? Are you saying Yamal is actually 19?
{Ed001's Note - according to official tweets Barca put out, they have lied about his age at some point. Either they were pretending he was older or they are now pretending he is younger. I am just not sure which.}
7.) 31 May 2025 12:14:11
Fair point Ed. When Real and Barcelona point fingers at eachother it's like that spiderman meme.
{Ed001's Note - very true.}
8.) 31 May 2025 12:25:33
Ed I've done more research on La Masia and you're right. Of all of the most famed La Masia graduates in the modern era, it seems only Xavi was there from the beginning. Messi, Iniesta, Yamal and Gavi were all plucked away from different clubs a few several years before debuting professionally.
I don't think Liverpool's academy gets nearly enough credit. Everyone glazes United's but they haven't produced a single elite tier player since over 30 years ago. Since then Liverpool have sprouted and nurtured Fowler, Gerrard, McManaman and Trent. I won't count Owen because we took him from Mold Alexandra. But if United academy claim Beckham then we claim Owen.
9.) 31 May 2025 12:42:08
Ha priceless cheers.
10.) 31 May 2025 13:06:52
We've got quite a few promising youngsters currently haven't we! Who are the most likely to advance to the first team, if any, this coming session?
11.) 31 May 2025 14:09:28
Have we? I think we’ve regressed somewhat in recent years. The Plymouth FA Cup game told me our youngsters aren’t particularly great. Ed01 may have a different view? I also get the impression Slot is less interested than Klopp in the youngsters. Just an impression I have.
{Ed001's Note - it is not that he is less interested, it is just that we don't have much ready to break through.}
12.) 31 May 2025 14:39:06
May be Bajcetic.
13.) 31 May 2025 18:05:35
Thanks Ed, I genuinely didn't know that was a thing! Is there a reason they do it or just like a principles kind of thing? Very interesting nonetheless.
{Ed001's Note - principles. Sociedad did the same until Toshack took charge.}
14.) 31 May 2025 19:50:17
Athletic Bilbao happens to be the richest club in Basque Country and the biggest poacher of local talent as well. They consistently raid Basque academies and get 14-18yo guys on the cheap
That's why they don't sign well established pros: it's rare when one of those goes under their radar. Bilbao are widely despised by half of the Basque fans too, mostly because their approach is the same than Barcelona or Madrid at youth level. Ask Real Sociedad, Osasuna or Alaves supporters. No to mention other smaller clubs
In addition, if you look at the players they produce and compare, Lezama (their academy) is not better than La Masia in any way or shape.
28 May 2025 12:48:06
First of all wishing everyone effected by the horrible scenes witnessed on monday evening a speedy recovery.
Ed001 if i may, to your knowledge have we concrete interest in Wharton from palace. Really like him as a player and reckon he could be the missing link in the middle.
{Ed001's Note - there is interest, yes, but he is not a priority for this summer. We have other needs.}
1.) 28 May 2025 13:15:41
Seen a few rumours of palace interest in Elliott and a cash plus player deal in the offing. Cheers for the reply pal.
2.) 28 May 2025 13:22:42
Do we really have a missing link in the middle though :) It sure did not seem so, winning the league a month ago.
3.) 28 May 2025 13:49:04
Bro, Adam Wharton is a MUST. His age, homegrown and with the lizard leaving. please tell me, who is our controller now/ facilitator? Don't say Mac or Wirtz.
We need a DM especially the way Slot wants Grav to drop deeper and form a back 3.
4.) 28 May 2025 14:00:30
We have Bajetic coming back, and Gravenburgh. There are a number if other areas which need immediate attention before a new DM.
5.) 28 May 2025 14:05:18
Not another Harry alias, demanding a DM!
6.) 28 May 2025 14:39:33
What a username. I don't think the Eds should allow such names when things can get heated between posters. Sorry, but it's a demented brain that comes up with such a username when addressing what are basically other posters. The moment you read it, you already feel confronted.
Just my view.
7.) 28 May 2025 14:46:50
Central defence and striker are the priorities and must dos. Anything else this window is opportunistic like Wirtz.
8.) 28 May 2025 14:53:19
Not me ArAy, I just feel sad that care in the community isn't working :- (.
07 Nov 2022 16:59:35
Mukesh Ambani ed002. I've heard of his previous interest in the club with reports going as far as saying he's had bids turned down. Do you see him being in the mix as a potential bidder.
{Ed002's Note - I would very much doubt it.}
1.) 07 Nov 2022 17:17:36
Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehaya Is the name being mentioned, tried to buy us a few years ago.
Cousin of City owner. Although RedBird remains favourite which will be more of the same, FSG approach.
2.) 07 Nov 2022 17:24:05
I’m not sure I got any of that statement to infer a sale. Sounded more like FSG might want to cash out some of their shares which is a completely different thing to an actual sale - basically they’d be trying to take out some of the value they’ve seen added to the club since they bought it?
3.) 07 Nov 2022 18:26:12
Think it may be a sale of club. An investment could have been done without the public statement.
Maybe Jim Ratcliffe will be interested…. Just the issue of him being a Man Utd supporter and Chelsea season ticket holder!
4.) 07 Nov 2022 19:22:10
Didn’t bin khaled zayed Al nehaya (excuse my typing) recently die?
5.) 07 Nov 2022 17:30:35
Thank you for your response ed002. Is there a particular reason why he wouldn't have interest (mukesh ambani) or is it just a case of him not being interested.
{Ed002's Note - Try the question the other way, why would he be interested? Liverpool supporters are clearly just going through the lists of wealthy people and somehow fantasising that they will be buying the club Redmick.}
6.) 07 Nov 2022 21:10:25
I’m fantasising about Musk and Bezos as joint owners.
7.) 08 Nov 2022 02:45:34
I wish i was rich?.
8.) 09 Nov 2022 15:33:07
War machine
Bezos would have mo and co delivering parcels after training ?.
16 Jun 2022 13:58:22
Ed002 do you still see liverpool bringing in a cm this summer. P. Joyce (usually spot on) seems to think we'll go with what we have till next summer.
{Ed002's Note - My expectations have not changed.}
1.) 16 Jun 2022 18:03:48
Is that a no Ed002?
Surely if 3 attackers leave, are Carvalho and Nunez enough to cover the 3, and if the Ox leaves and the main 3 MF's tend to get injured more often, is it sane to leave it? FSG are supposed to be backing JK, not only selling to buy.
{Ed002's Note - I don’t understand.}
2.) 16 Jun 2022 18:26:34
Feck P. Joyce I'm going with you ed002. Cheers for the reply fella.
3.) 16 Jun 2022 19:05:31
Ed2 has said he thinks there will be a m/ f signed I’ll go with that . tbh we don’t no what’s going on behind the scenes and Paul Joyce probably doesn’t.
4.) 16 Jun 2022 19:50:02
Neuhaus? Please! ?.
5.) 16 Jun 2022 19:53:13
Who are the 3 attackers leaving spaceman?
6.) 16 Jun 2022 20:14:44
Origi has already left, with Mane and Minamino looking likely to leave, but we have signed Nunez which leaves us with 5 top quality attackers in Diaz, Salah, Firmino, Jota and Nunez plus Elliot and Carvalho who can both play as attackers and a whole host of very promising youngsters like Gordon. We do not need anymore attacking players.
7.) 16 Jun 2022 20:18:21
What does m/ f mean?
8.) 16 Jun 2022 20:27:27
Midfield Razor, or mother f@£%er!
9.) 16 Jun 2022 20:30:05
Midfielder.
10.) 16 Jun 2022 20:38:46
We need a midfielder. And I think we’ll get one.
Let’s face it it was the difference last year, I feel like we will sign one towards the end of the window and we’ll win the league.
11.) 16 Jun 2022 20:52:28
Isn't Firmino going to leave too? He has hardly featured.
12.) 16 Jun 2022 22:53:25
I have saved the list that Ed has mentioned about CM players that LFC interested to.
1. Vitinho : probably heading elsewhere, so i will marked it "X".
2. Otavio
3. Merino
4. Kalvin Phillips
5. Bissouma "X"
6. Fabio Vieira "X"
7. Sangare
8. Laimer
9. Trindade
CMIIW Ed.
Thank you.
13.) 16 Jun 2022 23:07:25
Is it me or was that a little sarcastic and snide dig at the Eds by Acered in regards to 'don't hold your breath. ' If I'm wrong then sorry, I misinterpreted it but if I'm right then what a dick.
14.) 16 Jun 2022 23:37:51
I think you could also mark "x" on laimer. He also probably going elsewhere, possibly bayern.
15.) 17 Jun 2022 00:49:35
And Phillips who looks like he is joining Man City, with Grealish and Sterling and perhaps Rice. As an aside to you think Pep secretly wants to be Southgate?
16.) 17 Jun 2022 01:21:01
Yes, based on some reports Laimer was on Bayern's list and Kalvin Phillips was on Man City's list.
Assuming that reports was correct, meaning LFC's MC target will be:
1. Otavio
2. Merino
3. Sangare
4. Trindade
CMIIW, please.
Thank you.
17.) 17 Jun 2022 07:10:36
Some good detective work there. Now watch us sign someone no one even knew existed.
It has to be someone who can cover Fab as well as play another position well.
18.) 17 Jun 2022 07:30:54
Out of those I think I’d take Trindade.
19.) 17 Jun 2022 08:16:45
Who is Trindade and who does he play for? I seem to remember Ed2 suggesting he may fail to get a WP which means we'd probably have to play well over the odds?
20.) 17 Jun 2022 09:20:32
RedNick, 20 year old Brazilian lad. Andre Trindade. Plays for Fluminese.
Work permit would probably only be granted if we a) paid over the odds or b) could convince an independent panel he is an exceptional talent.
Never seen him play and anybody who says they have is most likely lying to themselves ? shows how desperate people are to sign A. N. Other that they'll take a completely unknown quantity over someone from our own academy.
21.) 17 Jun 2022 14:11:57
Certain you can't refer to an independent panel anymore. Need to significantly overpay as he not a full international. My gut feeling says Otavio with Hendo, Thiago and Morton cover for Fab. Key words are sustained interest in him and he's versatile.
21 Jan 2022 19:24:37
Rayan Cherki of lyon ed002 is he someone who you know that Liverpool have a strong interest in. Looks like a smashing player and only going to get better.
{Ed002's Note - He may well have been looked at but I am not aware of any approach.}
1.) 21 Jan 2022 22:36:26
Cheers ed002.

Ed001 if you please. If you were put on the spot and asked who you thought our new striker would be, who would be your suggestion.
{Ed001's Note - I don't know mate, it seems to be an issue to find the right one. It might end up being a youngster such as Stassin.}
1.) 06 Jun 2025 20:20:28
Cheers for the reply.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}
2.) 06 Jun 2025 21:13:41
Interesting shout Ed.
Haven’t heard of him!
Presumably we have an interest?
3.) 06 Jun 2025 21:39:04
If I was Ruud Van Nistelroy's wife, I'd have some questions about Stassin to be honest.
29 May 2025 20:52:31
I'd rather keep Nunez.
28 May 2025 20:57:43
Could be Bobby Firmino back for one more dance??.
28 May 2025 13:15:41
Seen a few rumours of palace interest in Elliott and a cash plus player deal in the offing. Cheers for the reply pal.
23 May 2025 19:53:02
Think the rumours about meeting Hoeneß has been and gone. Maybe a matter of trying to save face with the fanbase as a deal is very close to completion going by reports.
20 May 2025 15:55:30
Going by his performance against united i the first leg of there europa tie, he can stay where he is.
12 Jun 2025 18:21:16
That team is winning everything including the masters, Wimbledon and the super bowl.
11 Jun 2025 18:21:06
Hato, Wharton, Fofana and Isak. Alvarez would be my pick for forward but he didn't make the list.
06 Jun 2025 20:20:28
Cheers for the reply.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}
05 Jun 2025 19:20:33
For the money Gordon would cost i think we could pinch Barcola.
05 May 2025 07:41:22
Sort of puts into perspective why Slot hasn't rotated more bar maybe Endo. None of the fringe players done themselves any good when given the chance. Elliott, Jones, Quansah, Nunez, Jota and Tsimikis are not and never will be liverpool standard player's. Big summer awaits.
