I’ve not heard much talk about Simone Inzaghi. (Apologies if I’ve missed a discussion) . Having won a league title and CL would he be the kind of profile FSG are looking for?
{Ed002's Note - Simone Inzaghi is not of interest to Liverpool.}
1.) 23 Apr 2024 12:39:32
When did Inzaghi win the CL?
2.) 23 Apr 2024 12:54:35
Parallel universe Ed. Definitely not here!
3.) 24 Apr 2024 07:30:12
People are worried about slot being a Dutch manager but surely the same concerns about other candidates, alonso one yr managing? Amorim. From the Portuguese league? Alonso could have fallen flat as could any manager, so let’s just support who ever we get and be grateful hodgeson has retired.
11 Aug 2023 21:52:11
Don’t you think it’s possible we’ve been played and Caicedo and / or his agents deliberately gave LFC the impression he was likely to sign so that we would bid which in turn would force Chelsea to make a move?
1.) 11 Aug 2023 22:02:20
Does it matter? He doesn’t want us. We should move on and leave the lad to his choices. Be they good or bad. It’s on us to do some good business from here on in.
2.) 11 Aug 2023 22:14:10
Am I the only one who doesn't think it's such a big deal? Bid accepted so we can speak to the player officially to try agree terms. 99% not happening.
We move on.
Bayern must have bid three or four times for Kane before a bid was accepted and then it came out that he was more likely to stay and see out his contract with Spurs. I can't imagine Bayern were embarrassed, they would have just switched targets and that's it, try sign someone else.
3.) 11 Aug 2023 22:18:42
I think the club “has” moved on. So has the Scouse supporters. ( Not very sharp for a razor mate.
4.) 11 Aug 2023 22:23:57
Speaking of Kane anyone think there maybe a chance spurs bid for jota?
5.) 11 Aug 2023 22:23:58
I don't think it was deliberate but maybe we bid for Caicedo as Chelsea showed interest in Lavia who we had been pursuing for months. This whole mess has been a bit shambolic today. We've missed targets before and will again. Move on and find a better fit for us now. Whether that is back to Lavia and pay the fee Southampton now want or Gravenberch or someone we haven't considered.
Can I add my thanks to the Eds for the amazing job you do here, putting up with the constant questions, frequently repetitive as they often are. I have been a long time reader and watcher for news here and couldn't imagine a transfer window without this site.
{Ed002's Note - Thanks, we have tried to explain but there has been a great deal of abuse today.}
6.) 11 Aug 2023 22:40:01
Sean- Kane looks like he’s joining Bayern.
7.) 11 Aug 2023 22:56:58
There is no benefit to Liverpool bidding for Caicedo if the player only wanted Chelsea as it only drives up the fee and makes striking a deal harder, how it could be argued that a bidding war helps a player if he only wants one club is madness! The player must have indicated a willingness to move otherwise we ain’t bidding a transfer record fee without sounding out the player and his agent. At the minute it’s all media speculation as to what Caicedo wants so take it with a pinch of salt. Also worth remembering that he wanted Arsenal 6 months ago! He wants the best deal it’s rather simple and is probably sitting and waiting to see if Chelsea come back in with a better offer….
8.) 11 Aug 2023 22:59:20
Yes CobraCraig it looks like Kane is going to sign for Bayern, hence why I used past tense in my post - he initially sounded hesitant.
9.) 11 Aug 2023 23:22:10
The annoying thing is if we were to get him now after today’s debacle he wouldn’t be welcomed as readily as if none of this hearsay (as of yet) had happened. There would be a feeling from the off of him not being fully committed, whether any of this has truth or not.
Best thing now is for Chelsea to have a bid accepted and then he chooses. If he chooses Liverpool after all that then we likely know how full of rubbish Romano et al are. If he chooses Chelsea then it goes as expected.
10.) 11 Aug 2023 23:33:47
I’m thinking this Caicedo bid may be a smokescreen! Did Pool know he only wanted Chelsea so put that huge bid in knowing he wouldn’t come? Did the owners do it to keep the fans quiet? Was it revenge for outbidding us with Lavia? If Chelsea sign both this is embarrassing for us and a complete joke what they’re doing with the FFP rules! If Pool don’t spend that £110m it’s going to look like it was all fake!
{Ed002's Note - What FFP rules are these? Embarrassing again.}
11.) 11 Aug 2023 23:34:15
Ignore the haters Ed’s, there’s a lot on here who appreciate your reliable input.
{Ed002's Note - Sadly, a lot of supporters have moved in to the embas=rrassing mode now.}
12.) 11 Aug 2023 23:59:13
Kids and beer on a Friday night mate, wouldn’t waste my time entertaining it.
31 Dec 2018 13:35:05
I know Diego Laxalt was mentioned as a possible left sided player (LB/ LM), but is there any sign of revisiting Julian Brandt as a left midfield option (instead of LW)?
{Ed002's Note - I wouldn’t think Liverpool willlook to buy him and then pay him out of position on the odd occasions he is required. If Salah or Mane were to leave perhaps.}
1.) 31 Dec 2018 18:38:17
OK I thought he played LM as well.
Anyway Ed2 thank you very much for all your hard work and info in 2018. I hope 2019 brings you much joy peace and health. Happy New Year. YNWA.
{Ed002's Note - Julian Brandt is an out and out attacking LW.}
2.) 31 Dec 2018 23:42:48
I’m not saying we are going to get brandt, but why do we have to sell to buy? City have mahrez aguero sterling Jesus sane and silva who all play in the front three positions. We have salah mane Firmino Shaqiri and Sturridge who are first team. When city signed mahrez we didn’t say well who is leaving then? Shaqiri plays in the middle a lot anyway, we don’t have natural pace as an option on the wing, if mane and salah wasn’t available.
3.) 01 Jan 2019 00:34:51
Doesn’t really matter who city has. We are well stocked up top.
4.) 01 Jan 2019 03:04:41
We’re fine but not massively stocked upfront IMO. A long term injury to either Mane or Salah and we’ll be putting a lot of strain on Shaqiri as there’s no one else able to provide pace and goals from out wide (especially with the Ox injured) .
07 Jun 2017 19:43:33
The only consolation I can see from this is that we haven't spent 100 million on 2 players who were not in our original plan. Now let's start again. Hopefully we can go back in for Mendy and Keita.
{Ed025's Note - they will cost £100m razor.. :)
1.) 08 Jun 2017 00:59:47
£100m yes, but both 1st choice targets. Throw in Salah and a RB and I am thrilled. Sell the players who don't have a future with the club and I call that a great transfer window.

New image uploaded to the
Liverpool Player Sightings page entitled, The importance of a good academy.

1.) 24 Jan 2025 11:23:00
Is that genuine? Surely Stevie G photo is from 2000 and Macca was long gone by then. Dom Matteo left for Leeds that year too.
2.) 24 Jan 2025 12:20:55
Gerrard made his debut in the 1998-99 season when Macca and Matteo were still at the club, so it's probably from around then.
3.) 24 Jan 2025 14:02:33
It was nice that our academy was more British players back then before Houllier brought in all that French tripe. Only good French player we have had is Anelka and that was on loan for half a season. I suppose we have sorted out the mess he made by now.
4.) 24 Jan 2025 14:03:46
Oh forgot Sissoko he was class before his eye injury.
5.) 24 Jan 2025 14:51:10
Sissoko was a Benitez signing, Redibe.
6.) 24 Jan 2025 14:54:33
The club will never develop a crop that good again. An insane achievement in hindsight.
7.) 24 Jan 2025 15:03:06
I would suggest Konate is fairly useful.
8.) 24 Jan 2025 15:20:53
Houllier bought Hamann, McAllister and Dudek too. Plus Cisse, who was not tripe but horrifically unlucky with leg breaks.
9.) 24 Jan 2025 16:24:55
It could be like a revolving door under both Houllier and Benitez, the agents fees must have been astronomical.
Houllier did inherit a really difficult culture though that needed shaking up, with particularly the home grown players behaving badly and underperforming. That will have been partly why he turned to the French market. Few of them were fantastic signings though agreed.
We were all also really glad at the time when Benitez came, with his reputation and track record. The squad was again underperforming and needed a fresh approach and discipline, and he helped deliver success for several years. Must have had about 10 Spanish right backs and wingers in his time, a few were really good like Garcia and Arbeloa.
19 Jan 2025 13:43:20
Even though it was Darwin who got the headlines I was glad to see Chiesa get another run out and contribute to the goals. I think he can do really well for us if he can stay fit.
1.) 19 Jan 2025 14:07:41
He looked good when he came on. Was crying out for him to come on versus Forest when it was clear Salah was having a stinker.
2.) 19 Jan 2025 14:12:37
Loved his celebration of the goals.
3.) 19 Jan 2025 14:21:37
Both Darwin’s goals were excellent finishes and agree it’s lovely to see Chiesa come on.
Hearing Jota’s last injury might cause him to be a bit stop start this season (due to it being SNS) so the door is definitely open for Darwin and Chiesa.
In fact with Lille on Tuesday night this could be the ideal opportunity to start both along with Endo.
4.) 19 Jan 2025 14:33:24
He is a very good player.
5.) 19 Jan 2025 14:34:28
People writing him off after 6 months says more about those doing it than a player who's moved from his home country to a faster, more physical league.
Fede will add something this season, and it may come at critical moments.
6.) 19 Jan 2025 15:05:26
Am sick of slot saying his not fit surely he can do 30 minutes.
7.) 19 Jan 2025 16:20:50
Grino, I’m sure Slot is far more aware of how fit he is and how he’s doing in training, than any of us are.
8.) 19 Jan 2025 16:48:25
no Cardiff red, he's not, how dare you post something sensible.
12 Jan 2025 09:31:23
This is the Liverpool page! ( sorry mate I couldn’t resist ?) .
27 Aug 2024 16:13:52
Grino hope your son recovers well YNWA.
26 Aug 2024 20:56:31
I think Romano checks this website.
11 Aug 2024 10:35:34
What are those criteria?
{Ed002's Note - I have explained that repeatedly.}
09 Aug 2024 10:34:50
Doesn’t that suggest that Zubimendi is not going anywhere to be a target? Or did I miss I something?
27 Feb 2025 22:54:25
Oh really. Any idea why he’s not been offered an extension? Or he just wants to move on.
27 Feb 2025 22:31:03
“Over my dead body “.
Mikel Arteta.
27 Feb 2025 22:29:39
I think Jaros deserves a go. Is he that bad not to be given the reserve keeper spot?
01 Jan 2025 10:41:55
I’d give Loris Karius the number 1 jersey to be honest.
