Question for the eds. Reports surfacing or resurfacing of some potential investment and linking up on some way shape or form with toulouse. Not the Billy bean guy but someone else that wants to invest in European clubs. Apparently the deal could be done in a couple months. Bullsssst or real deal?
{Ed002's Note - It is the samething without Billy Beane and all of his money. Redbird is the remnants of the Redball investment company that Gerry Cardinale and Billy Beane (a self-confessed Liverpool supporter who owns much of the Oakland As and is the "moneyball" guru) set up last year to buy 20% of FSG (not of Liverpool per se, but of all FSC assets - so part of Liverpool, the Red Sox, the racing business etc.). Whilst they had raised circa £400M through a public offering they could not raise the further £700M required to make that happen. At this point Billy Beane stepped away leaving Cardinale and his Redbird investment company that he used as a vehicle to buy Toulouse (and appoint Damien Comolli as their Chairman). Whilst FSG would like an investor to sell part of Liverpool to (particularly given their major financial issues at the moment), it is questionable whether any of the high-profile expensive EPL sides has the growth potential of other sides across Europe meaning that a merger-like solution would suit everyone best. Clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea will see growth potential flatten out whilst the chance of growth remains elsewhere - and remember these folks are investing other people's money - not their own. As such Cardinale has a plan to slowly merge with FSG rather than simply invest in it – his vision being creating another City Group or Red Bull type set up. Noteworthy is that the former Premier League chair Richard Scudamore joined the board of the now shelved Billy Beane RedBall Acquisition Corporation and he has been giving advice. At that point they were looking for investment funds to go beyond a merger and look to buy a decent club in mainland Europe or the lower end of the Premier League as well – that idea is shelved for now.}

Thanks Ed. Hope it goes through and at least some funds are made avaliable for improving the squad. Would this link up help us commercially? I'm sure the big clubs are always trying to find new ways to squeeze more money into the clubs.
{Ed002's Note - The money goes to the owners not the club.}
2.) 01 Mar 2021 10:08:47
What’s your thoughts on Damien Comolli ed002?
He always comes in for a lot of ridicule but seems to always land himself top jobs.
{Ed002's Note - You should go back and find what I said when Liverpool appointed him.}
03 Feb 2021 11:58:27
Eds just a question regarding out if contract players this summer. Do you see any of them possibly coming to us? Seen donnarumma is out of contract and at 21 would surely be a no brainer.
{Ed002's Note - Donnarumma won't be moving as a Free Agent and certainly not to Liverpool. I am not aware of any Free Agents Liverpool have been looking to agree a Pre-Contract with.}
1.) 03 Feb 2021 12:13:18
I have no idea if he is any good, but it won't make sense for a keeper who's played in the first team for 4 years to come and sit behind Alisson for the next 6 years.
2.) 03 Feb 2021 12:18:50
Struggling to see why this would be a no brainer, astronomical wages/ sign on fee. Massive issues off the field, crooked agent and would demand to be first choice.
3.) 03 Feb 2021 12:52:21
How is signing donnarumma a no brainer? We have Alisson who is twice the keeper. We are not going to pay 300k a week wages for a back up keeper to play against Hull and Crewe in the Carabao cup.
4.) 04 Feb 2021 13:56:14
Has he done a runner?
24 Jan 2021 12:35:32
Ed. Any chance if business being done with West ham for diop using origi in some way? Clutching at straws i know but west ham are looking for a striker.
{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath.}
1.) 24 Jan 2021 15:53:30
Origi? But you said West Ham were looking for a striker?
Sorry, couldn’t resist 😉.
2.) 24 Jan 2021 18:21:54
Nono they are looking to replace Haller right?
3.) 24 Jan 2021 22:57:10
Origi is a legend, them two goals V Barcelona will always be remembered,
but he seems to have been left behind,
Liverpool will want about 20 Mill for him, but, I would
take 12 Million,
money is soo tight,
we really need, to sell to buy .
{Ed0666's Note - I love Divvy for all sorts of reasons. Class personified and won us the CL. But I also concur with you Kop he’s not dating well and needs to move on to resurrect his career. He doesn’t deserve to only play a handful of games a year. He’s too good and we owe him more than that. 20 million? No chance.
22 Dec 2020 11:52:05
Read an article that depay could be avaliable for only 5mill. Surely if origi goes he would add some extra depth to our bench.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool have no interest in him and when he moves it will be to play.}
1.) 22 Dec 2020 13:20:45
i do love this whole idea that when one of our players who are rarely playing is set to leave we MUST replace him with someone.
If origi left we could very easily just absorb any of the potential minutes he would have had by existing players.
Depay is not going to come to liverpool to "add some extra depth to our bench" he will want to be a constant starter.
12 Dec 2019 18:03:04
Quick question ed. Is Karius still being permanently offloaded? If so what is the rough figure we are expecting? If those funds pay for milamino then we have still technically not spent.
{Ed001's Note - yes he is being sold but it doesn't work like that.}
1.) 12 Dec 2019 19:39:55
Hey Ed1, Seen the links to the Salzburg lad, milamino, but I was more impressed with the Korean lad, what’s think?
{Ed001's Note - Lee Hwang? No end product at all though with him. At least Minamino was just inconsistent.}
2.) 13 Dec 2019 03:05:01
Best to get Haaland if the rumours of 17.5m clause are true. these 2 would replace shaw in squad also cover for wings/ firmino.
3.) 13 Dec 2019 08:19:36
Halaand doesn't strike me as our 'type' of forward.
4.) 13 Dec 2019 13:25:16
He is good but just reminds me of a Shearer type of striker. I don't think he has the mobility to play in our forward line.
A very good player, but not suited to our type of play.
5.) 13 Dec 2019 15:15:46
Jaysus Walter, you must REALLY like Jurgen if you want his statue to have an erection!

Hi all.
If fabs isn't fit how do we play vs Madrid. I'm feeling for a front four of diaz mane salah with Bobby behind them taking all kinds of liberties with casemiro in midfield alongside thiago and hendo. Back 5 picks itself with konate in there. Smoke them for 2 or 3 early doors and throw milly and matip on to shut up shop.
Thoughts?
1.) 20 May 2022 17:19:42
We will get destroyed. Modric and kroos will run shop with our two man midfield.
Lets face it madrid are sitting ducks for us if we press out of them. We need a midfield trio to harass them. And if fabs is out we have to go with thiago hendo and keita. Although i woudn’t mind if we play our player if the season joel matip in fabs place. That would be pep’isque.
2.) 20 May 2022 17:33:56
Matip in midfield? In a CL final?
I think there’s a lot better options before we get that desperate!
3.) 20 May 2022 18:02:45
Make no mistake Madrid are a very strong team. Will need to buff up our midfield and give all help TAA needs it when overlapping.
Will need to be at our best and play at a tempo and energy which Madrid ageing players will find difficult to cope. Coz if they're comfortable then they can easily hurt us badly.
4.) 20 May 2022 19:11:59
It'll be the same as last Saturday. Henderson holding with Thiago and Naby Lad alongside him.
5.) 20 May 2022 19:20:19
Fab will be fit.
6.) 20 May 2022 22:09:45
I think it is safe to assume that any team qualifying for the CL Final are pretty good and the playing down of the threat posed by RM probably doesn’t reach as far as the team and coaching staff.
I’d also suggest that the CL Final is not the match to pull an experimental ream formation out of your a*se.
Fabs will be fit to play, we will be ready and prepared and, as ever, if we play as well as we are capable of playing we will win.
7.) 20 May 2022 22:12:01
I agree. No way in hell that Fab will want to miss that game. As long as he's physically able, he's going to go all out to play. Same with Salah. His Ballon d'or credentials are at stake here.
8.) 21 May 2022 03:13:20
We need to give the our best pressing performance of the season against Real Madrid, with as little let up as possible as the game goes on. Physically, Madrid are a few tiers below us but they have masterful technical quality throughout their team, meaning that the early stages should favour us but the game will suit Madrid more as the game goes on and players are unable to press as effectively.
Salah and Mané simply have to be on their clinical A-game for us to win this. I don’t want to see any 6-yard strikes straight the keeper or ballooned over the bar, this is not Watford (H) where you may get 4-5 more clear-cut chances.
08 May 2022 21:40:31
Today is 7th May. Corner taken quickly day. nothing is never over when Liverpool are concerned. Istanbul, anfield (bout 10 times) .
1.) 08 May 2022 22:39:42
Happy Corner Taken Quickly Day, RedScarFace!
One of my favourite ever goals. The looks on the Barcelona players' faces was priceless.
What a night!
2.) 09 May 2022 10:05:26
Happy "Ballboy who gave the ball quickly Day" too. 😂.
03 May 2022 23:14:19
I can't help but really begin to dream. One slip from city and I really think this team will take everything. The scenes of an open top bus with 4 trophies on display.
1.) 04 May 2022 01:47:55
A defeat to Real and a draw vs Newcastle should do it.
2.) 04 May 2022 02:11:10
Trying to decide whether City winning or losing prior to Newcastle would be better for us. I think City winning would be better as that high could be followed by an unexpected (but expected) low.
3.) 04 May 2022 03:08:31
You could be right about Newcastle. If their players were looking for the perfect game to showcase their qualifications to be kept in the squad, before the expected complete overhaul, it would be against Manchester City, the reigning champions.
But let's just worry about getting past Spurs for now.
4.) 04 May 2022 06:15:14
We are still in the position we were in about 20 games ago when City were 14 points clear and we were invited on the ride. We need to win our games - that’s all we can do and, to be fair, it seems that the boys taking them one at a time is working ok.
5.) 04 May 2022 09:59:08
One game at a time, Reds.
18 Mar 2022 13:32:55
Trent out a few weeks. hamstring. He will be a big miss attacking wise.
{Ed0666's Note - I’m sure he will be back after forest & Watford. I wouldn’t worry.
1.) 18 Mar 2022 13:45:19
I’ve just listened to Klopps press conference on it and he doesn’t sound like a man who’s just lost one of his world class players that we don’t have an out and out understudy for.
Forget Cheltenham if you want a banker bet it’ll be Trent plays against Watford.
2.) 18 Mar 2022 13:40:15
Me neither, Ed.
{Ed0666's Note - Great management if you ask me and we’ll done Trent for sacrificing country for club. The man’s a legend in my eyes and he’s only 23.
3.) 18 Mar 2022 14:28:38
Trent is looking at the potential this season could bring and when you weigh that up against England well it really answers it self.
4.) 18 Mar 2022 14:51:12
I mean he could still really be injured but even if he is, it’s only 3-4 weeks and two of those are during an international break. Fairly confident he’ll be back for the City game at the latest.
5.) 18 Mar 2022 16:06:54
Really don’t give a damn about England or that plonker Southgate.
I know some players are desperate to play for their country but honestly would you want to play with Pickford Maguire and Grealish?
{Ed0666's Note - it is a massive sacrifice because he’s sacrificing a place in a workd cup squad and that my friend is the pinnacle of most soccer players careers. I agree with you tho it probably doesent seem like a biggy with the caliber of players in the squad chosen for the friendlies
6.) 18 Mar 2022 16:34:26
If Trent’s place isn’t already guaranteed then why bother.
If Southgate doesn’t know how good Trent is then he should t be allowed anywhere near a football squad.
There is no chance for England at the World Cup with Southgate in charge and with players like Maguire around.
England are light years behind the top club sides like LFC.
7.) 18 Mar 2022 17:08:10
TAA in all likelihood still still go to the WC. But he doesn’t need to be involved w England this intl break
Truth be told, at this stage of the season, no players need it!
It’s time to scrape these useless intl breaks w friendlies. If I’m in charge of fifa and Uefa (which obviously I Nv will cause they’ll lose big $ w me), there should only b intl breaks for competitive matches mid season (Ie qualifiers) . Teams tt r gg for these big competitions can then organise their own friendlies, at the end of the season, leading up to the competitions.
Thinking abt it, won’t be a bad idea to switch the UCL back to a KO only format, make the EFL cup semis to be one-legged on a neutral ground. I’m still thinking abt if FA cup should also scrape replies but it does benefit small clubs…
End of day, Players will get more rest, the calendar can be more spaced out, mid season break can be a reality.
8.) 18 Mar 2022 18:06:56
Heard Klopps press conference earlier and he said that Scotland have announced 6 and England 4 international friendlies during the summer break 🤦🏻♂️.
9.) 18 Mar 2022 22:47:41
Jk…. Sigh…… I’ve nth to say
It’s not like the more friendlies u play the higher the chance of winning the wc….
14 Mar 2022 21:57:53
Kudos Palace. refused to bend over to city unlike most teams.
{Ed0666's Note - Gallagher doesent stop pressing and that Tariq Mitchell won’t be at palace long.
1.) 14 Mar 2022 22:23:14
Mitchell is a great prospect plays like a lad way beyond his years.
2.) 14 Mar 2022 22:21:34
Eze olise and Mitchell would be my three to poach from them. They are a selling team and them 3 under klopp would be immense in time.
3.) 14 Mar 2022 22:27:29
Dead right Ed0666 both Gallagher and Mitchell have the aggression and work ethic to make it far higher up the table.
{Ed0666's Note - I agree mate not sure they’ll be at palace much longer no indeed Olise you I really really like. He’ll be outstanding in a year or two
4.) 14 Mar 2022 22:22:14
Ed, Michael Olise won’t be at Palace that long either, mate. Very talented player.
{Ed0666's Note - I agree mate super player in the making. I feel time stops still when he gets the ball.
5.) 15 Mar 2022 07:05:08
Any of the above player's potential Liverpool player's in the future?
6.) 15 Mar 2022 09:45:57
Barry, I would take Olise tomorrow. I think that kid's going to be special.
7.) 15 Mar 2022 11:25:18
Didnt Liverpool try buy Olise from Reading?
19 Sep 2021 20:12:27
Pretty sure bayern have first dibs on every player in Germany. and the coaches too.
30 Aug 2021 10:02:59
Mane was doubled up on every occasion so that quick burst he uses to get past players was nullified. Few times he did get 1 on 1 he went past his man but chelsea still had 3 defenders in the box.
21 Aug 2021 15:43:47
He definitely deserves it. He is a legend.
29 Jul 2021 09:23:46
I'd prefer Harry redknapp. better yet Harry potter.
20 Jul 2021 15:04:54
Knowing Brighton got 50m from arsenal I'm sure Edwards will try to get 20 for nat which is decent business tbf.
22 May 2022 19:09:42
I prefer us losing the league how we did. Imagine city dropped points and we didn't put away wolves that would if really hurt.
21 May 2022 14:52:23
More like a mountain @rigsby.
20 May 2022 07:20:43
Salah has had enough time to secure his golden boot. His fault he missed sitters and a penalty. if he demands to play and potentially miss the final then shows his level of selfishness imo.
18 May 2022 19:53:31
Funniest part is. He did the same thing last season. There was NO MEDIA COVERAGE. not one iota was mentioned AT ALL. Let that sink in. msm manipulation once again. Convenient has its pride season again.
15 May 2022 18:48:17
I'd go (injury depending ofcourse)
Allison
Trent matip konate tsimikas
Hendo thiago naby (thaigo and hendo off if we have a good cushion)
Mane firmino jota.
That team should easily beat Southampton who have nothing to play for.
