Hey, Good evening Eds. A question for Ed002. Is there any interest from Liverpool on Matheus Cunha?
{Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware.}
25 Aug 2020 08:51:35
Our reported target Melkamu Frauendorf, 16yo youth player from Hoffenheim, has included LFC on his Instagram bio.
1.) 25 Aug 2020 09:05:02
Great 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
2.) 25 Aug 2020 10:56:57
That’s why we didn’t sign Havertz, going straight to source.
3.) 25 Aug 2020 11:28:29
Love it Southern Red.
4.) 25 Aug 2020 21:02:45
Welcome to Liverpool, Melkamu!
18 Aug 2020 14:52:20
Hey Eds, hope you're all doing well. While any first team attacker signing will depend on the outgoings (like Origi), which attacker do you realistically think we can bring in as a front 3 cover if the sale took place?
{Ed002's Note - I would hope that Brewster gets his chance.}
1.) 18 Aug 2020 15:10:47
I'm of the same opinion. Would absolutely love Rhian to get a chance. He was impressive for the Swans.
2.) 18 Aug 2020 15:53:59
Brewster shone in the u20 world Cup more so than greenwood who has been outstanding for united. He needs a chance and run of games so he can shine for us in the same manner. On the flip side we need to be patient and not let what greenwood has done for ubited put a weight of expectation on rhian.
3.) 18 Aug 2020 18:07:20
Couldn’t agree more Ed. Really hope Brewster gets his chance as he worked hard for it out on loan.
4.) 18 Aug 2020 21:47:04
Redscar-Brewster played in the under 17 World Cup not in an under 20, don’t think Greenwood was in the squad, he’s a couple of years younger.
5.) 18 Aug 2020 23:33:20
I'd prefer a loan for him. He hasn't enough senior football experience, injury history, would be brilliant for his confidence as well and I don't think he would get enough game time if he stays with us this season. A full season on loan playing loads and in 12 months time he would be banging on the door.
6.) 19 Aug 2020 00:29:33
tbh I dont' really much attention to what happens at under age level other than it's interesting to see who is playing well. each player has their own development curve.
also this is the second or third time I've read someone make a comment about a player playing in a team or comp they haven't played in. starting to wonder if people are becoming a bit Trump-ish with their facts hahaha.
7.) 20 Aug 2020 08:52:26
As soon as we pulled out of Werner deal Rhian will be given chance by Klopp.
8.) 21 Aug 2020 07:03:39
Look at Greenwood, saka, Brandon Williams, foden this year while previous years the likes of Trent, rashford, AWB as examples of players breaking into big teams without any senior experience on loan previously. So often loan deals can hamper a player who might be better learning to play in the style his manager and team work on each day. You look at arsenal letting gnabry go to WBA under tony pulis as the perfect example, gnabry far more suited to arsenals style at the time yet a loan to a team who play ugly saw him struggle instead.
02 Aug 2020 20:58:28
Hey Eds. Matip today has been linked with PSG with report mentioning they're considering him as Silva's replacement. Have you heard anything on that front?
{Ed002's Note - No, sorry.}
1.) 03 Aug 2020 07:10:30
Why would he go there. He is class, like gomez. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world. PSG are really half a club in comparison.
2.) 03 Aug 2020 07:32:06
He’d be difficult (and expensive) to replace as he is a good centre back, unless PSG are offering completely stupid money then it’s an easy “noâ€.
3.) 03 Aug 2020 07:46:02
Because he’s not a starter at the moment, and might be there and probably get twice the money - not saying it’s happening but it’s not inconceivable.
4.) 03 Aug 2020 08:42:04
Studoc Money Money Money and he would be first choice. He would win medals every season without fail.
5.) 03 Aug 2020 09:03:04
ed001 if it is true and psg are going to offer £50m for Matip what do you think. I would snatch there hand off nothing about the players ability just how much he gets injured. I see it say Matip has missed over 60 matches over a total of eight various injuries since joining in 2016.
{Ed001's Note - take it, you have to when the player is so injury prone. Sad to lose him because he has improved so much into a top class defender, but it is pointless keeping hold of a player you can't rely on to stay fit.}
6.) 03 Aug 2020 10:06:00
50mill surly not!
7.) 03 Aug 2020 10:08:46
Maybe the club are thinking lovren and matip leaving could free up the funds for Diego Carlos. Hopefully Carlos would stay fit long enough to play the numbers of games matip and lovren played.
8.) 03 Aug 2020 10:32:54
Lol 50mill for matip. For a player that's rarely fit we should take the money and run. Buy DC and maybe even squeeze for Lloyd kelly.
9.) 03 Aug 2020 10:48:35
Jordz, that is the way i see it. Whilst i rate Matip highly, both he and JG are injury prone, and so should a decent offer come in from PSG, i would take it and buy Carlos.
If we brought in Kelly to replace Lovren, and Carlos as a starter, we would have, probably the best defence in the world.
10.) 03 Aug 2020 11:31:18
For 50 million I would bite there arm and leg right off take the money and dash away as quickly as possible .
11.) 03 Aug 2020 12:17:34
spaceman I would not say Joe Gomez is injury prone just had a coupe of bad injuries where Matip seem to pick up injuries every time he he gets a run in the team.
12.) 03 Aug 2020 13:11:55
When you put it in terms of £50m then it’s harder to say no to be honest, as that’s the bulk of the cost of Diego Carlos.
13.) 03 Aug 2020 13:23:03
Are we sure this isn't a typo and it's actually £5m 🤔.
14.) 03 Aug 2020 16:02:51
Doubt its a typo. Matip is a world club champion, European champion and Premier league champion so worth 50mill.
15.) 03 Aug 2020 16:13:03
Ligue 1 probably suits Matip better in that it is less physical and more technical. And the new Missus probably finds Paris to be more romantic.
I doubt the rumour is true though, because 50 Million is quite generous. I'd take even 30 Million and spend it on a 23-24 year old and secure the next 4-5 years for the same position (in competition with Gomez) . Important thing is to find a backup for VVD since Lovren is gone (he played on the left for Southampton remember? )
16.) 03 Aug 2020 16:33:46
Lovern was a world club champion, a European champion and a premier league champion. How come the club didn't get £50m for him?
17.) 03 Aug 2020 17:47:17
I won't sell matip for 50 million unless we are 100% sure to get in 1st team defender in.
12 Jul 2020 20:35:17
Paul Joyce reporting Zenit are interested in signing Dejan Lovren.

Hey Ed002, regarding the Hendo contract negotiations issues which The Athletic broke last month. In this scenario, is it someone from the player's side who feeds the info to the journalist to mount pressure on the club?
PS: I'm aware Hendo has now agreed to a new deal at LFC as per yesterday's reports.
{Ed002's Note - There is no pressure on the club.}
15 Jul 2020 07:56:32
Hello Eds, can you provide an update on the Gini contract situation? Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - I am not sure that there has been any change at all.}
1.) 15 Jul 2020 17:51:24
Really interesting ed01. Thanks, I learned a lot. Once you’ve done all the formations you can think of, can you do an article of where tactics could possibly go in the future?
{Ed001's Note - good idea mate, I will do that. Really glad you learnt something, you might even come out of the stoneage if you keep on learning! ;-)}
12 Jul 2020 08:34:22
Klopp: "In the end it was just a draw and I cannot deny that it feels like we have completely lost the game. We should have scored more often but it's our fault. No-one else's. "
Klopp seems to be acknowledging the fact that we needed to score more goals. It's been the case for a while now where our attackers have failed to convert the big chances time and again. As good as Mo and Mane are, I think we could do with a competition.
1.) 12 Jul 2020 11:03:41
he just means that for today. I don't think he means spending 100s of millions on a player to sit on a bench in the hope they can come on as a sub to score a goal so we can turn the one or 2 draws we've had into 3 points.
{Ed002's Note - Perhaps Brewster will get a chance.}
2.) 12 Jul 2020 11:55:12
I get that Klopp was only pointing at yesterday's game but over the course of season we have seen our front 3 waste quite a lot of chances going forward (Atletico game at Anfield comes to mind) . There have been a lot of tight victories which could have been quite straightforward had we finished a few of the many good chances tbh. I don't think it's viable to spend 50 odd million on any back up player, it's just not realistic for us. However, we could definitely look at upgrading on the current fringe players like Shaq or Divock after offloading them and get in someone more suitable to the system.
Also as Ed mentioned Brewster, he could be a handy option to have. He seems to be a poacher in front of the goal.
3.) 12 Jul 2020 12:41:16
Fingers crossed for Brewster!
I think some of you are being picky. Usually when we lose or draw it's because we don't put away our chances. that will happen whether we have Ronaldo, Messi and Mbappe in our front 3. Our job is to limit those dropped points, which is what we have done.
I always felt this season was about the PL. next season I'm hoping we can compete at the business end of all the cups.
4.) 12 Jul 2020 15:22:20
It's true, we have achieved our objective of the season by winning the league. Altho my initial point was more to direct towards the next season's to come when we will probably be challenging for every silverware.
I'm far from being a moaner who jumps on to criticize the team after every draw or loss. On the contrary, I'm actually very relaxed with our situation tbh. It was merely an opinion on where we could strengthen further to help the front 3, who btw have done a fantastic job all season.
5.) 12 Jul 2020 21:00:24
Yeah, we needed to score more goals in order to win the game. Think our squad is just fine as it is.
01 Jul 2020 09:33:04
Hey Eds, Brewster has been in fine form for Swansea this season. Is he rated highly enough by the coaches and Klopp to be included in the senior squad next season or does another loan move await him? Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - the issue is game time, Brewster pushed for the loan move to more of it, rather than the club wanting him out. Klopp wanted him in the senior squad. Next season it will be again a discussion between him and the coaching staff over what is best for his future.}
1.) 01 Jul 2020 12:07:42
To be fair playing competitive football in the championship is far better for his development than getting splinters in his arse and playing u23 football and it looks like he’s taking his chance there.
2.) 01 Jul 2020 13:06:07
He's only recently turned 20. For me his best 'move' would be to stay at Swansea for next season, keep playing well and learning and then come back to us for the 21/ 22 season at which point we can start to look at him potentially being the long term replacement for one of our front 3 who, let's face it, won't be around forever given they are all 28/ 29 right now.
Probably won't happen, too impatient the youngsters these days.
3.) 01 Jul 2020 13:30:36
Brewster signed a new contract while he was injured two seasons ago and there was talk of him leaving for a German team (I've forgotten whom) . So that's that for whatever it is worth. He seems to like/ love LFC and understands that he has to wait for his turn and show he's deserving of getting his shot. Doesn't strike me as impatient as an Ibe or Sinclair.
4.) 01 Jul 2020 14:00:54
Yeah, he signed a five year contract, so the club must rate him, I think it was Borussia Moenchengladbach who were sniffing around him.
5.) 01 Jul 2020 19:37:36
6Times, I think it was Dortmund right after they got Sancho and found out he was that good and wrecking it at BVB at the time.
16 Jun 2020 22:10:58
Hey Eds, my first post here. First of all, i really like reading all your answers to various questions - they are all very informative.
Regarding the redevelopment work going on at the Kirkby academy right now, are the first team still expected to move there before the start of 2020/ 21? And is there going to be any small capacity stadium build for the u23s games to take place at? Thank you.
{Ed002's Note - I am not sure of the revised timing. As you willknow work would have come to a halt for perhaps three or four months, so I guess it could be a little late.}
18 Aug 2020 15:10:47
I'm of the same opinion. Would absolutely love Rhian to get a chance. He was impressive for the Swans.
29 Jul 2020 10:51:21
That was only for the arguments sake. 😅 Just to make it clear, I absolutely love Divock for his contribution in our recent success. I just feel we won't stockpile players in the squad coz that's unrealistic to say the least. There needs to be a balance and we already have it. Any addition to the side will depend on who leaves and whether Jurgen trusts the youngsters in those positions to step up, like we have seen with Williams and Curtis internally replacing Clyne and Lallana.
29 Jul 2020 00:03:31
The only way we sign Harvey (or any other attacker), in my opinion, is by offloading Origi and that would be difficult enough in this market.
{Ed0666's Note - are we really debating swapping Barnes for Divvy have you people no loyalty 😂
19 Jul 2020 21:14:12
On the topic of signing an attacker, Willian on a free would be a very good signing imo. Capable of operating in both the flanks and still going strong at the age of 31. Yes there's maybe high wages involved but quite a few of our high earners are expected to be off this summer so we can surely afford him. Just a question of whether we want to or not.
13 Jul 2020 10:16:35
Thought so, having seen the Real Betis links not that long ago. Thanks for the quick response.
Out of curiosity Ed, which positions do you think we could realistically strengthen this summer, if any?
{Ed002's Note - If Liverpool cannot improve the first team spending money on padding is not a great idea unless players leave or unless the younger players are not good enough. Klopp wants a first pick CB - but money is an issue. I am sure Klopp wants an attacking player to replace Shaqiri but again money is an issue and youngesters are emerging.}
11 Aug 2020 18:48:59
It's an interesting thought AW. I was myself wondering something similar after the announcement of Tsimikas. Robbo and TAA as well as the front 3 have had their patchy runs at some point during the season but we seemed to struggle most when the fullbacks looked out of form or tired (and understandably so since they are our prime creators) . That could easily be something we probably looked at and maybe that prompted us into sign a natural LB with the aim to provide Robbo and TAA ample amount of rest next season to keep them at their sharpest throughout the campaign. Having two quality fb deputies in Williams and Tsimikas will definitely help.
15 Jul 2020 08:30:03
Klopp in his press conference yesterday said Milner will be back for the Chelsea game. Currently out with muscle problem.
12 Jul 2020 15:22:20
It's true, we have achieved our objective of the season by winning the league. Altho my initial point was more to direct towards the next season's to come when we will probably be challenging for every silverware.

I don't think it's viable to spend 50 odd million on any back up player, it's just not realistic for us. However, we could definitely look at upgrading on the current fringe players like Shaq or Divock after offloading them and get in someone more suitable to the system.
Also as Ed mentioned Brewster, he could be a handy option to have. He seems to be a poacher in front of the goal.
07 Jul 2020 15:35:49
Apart from the LB and LW, all the other area's look well covered imo. Altho Milly can fill in at LB, he is just not as effective playing there and understandably so. Still a very valuable member of the squad btw. We could definitely do with proper LB back up. Personally i hope Larouci can make the next step and prove himself to be a real LB option.
As for the attack, likes of Shaq, Elliott are both predominantly right sided players so yeah RW has good depth. Elliott is said to be given a bigger role in the side next season so even if Shaq was to leave, we should be fine at RW.
Minamino in his few appearances this season has mostly played down the middle, suggesting he may be seen as a deputy for Bobby's #9 role which is quite a solid option. He is also very versatile so we could definitely see him play in either wings once he's more settled and has a full Klopp pre season's trianing under his belt. Brewster is there too and a full season training under Klopp and with these group of wc players will definitely not hurt.
All that's left is Divock on the left and tbh he isn't effective from the left. Most of his goals this season have come when he has played as a CF. It's not likely to happen but ideally i wouldn't mind if we could offload Origi and bring in a more versatile, mobile attacker to back up the wing positions. I absolutely love Origi for everything he has done for the club, just to be clear.
All in all, the depth of our squad as it is isn't bad at all. However, there's certainly room for improvement and strengthening in certain areas. It will obviously be a challenge offloading some of the fringe players due to the uncertainty around the financial side of things but if things improve it would be interesting to see what moves we make in the market, if at all.
