Read the rumour we might be in for Takefusa Kubo from Sociedad if they don’t get into European competition.
€50m release clause.
I’d definitely pay that. Hope this rumour is true.
1.) 04 Apr 2025 07:47:00
Japanese Harvey Elliot.
2.) 04 Apr 2025 09:21:47
And I love Harvey Elliot and want him to play, so my point is that let's use him instead.
3.) 04 Apr 2025 09:26:49
I'm a massive fan of the player so I would love for this to be true, but I'm not sure he solves many of the problems we have besides offering outstanding pace and athleticism in the attacking third. He plays on the right wing and he is pretty one footed so can't really play on the other wing. That being said, he often drifts into central positions for la real and effectively occupies the number 10 position a lot of the time, though I wouldn't start him in the middle because he's most dangerous receiving the ball out wide. He's also not much of a goalscorer, but is a decent crosser of the ball.
Elite one on one player with explosive pace from a standing start, but he offers very little physical presence off the ball and will probably be bullied in duels, which is a problem area that we have to address in the first place.
4.) 04 Apr 2025 09:41:23
Kurt, I’d disagree with your view there with a couple of important differences - Kubo is left footed, Harvey right and Kubo is fast, faster than Harvey and close to Mo.
I love Harvey too, but he can’t replace Mo for those 2 reasons, Kubo can.
{Ed001's Note - Elliott is left footed Zed.}
5.) 04 Apr 2025 10:08:51
Both left footed, faster than Harvey but i'd harvey down as a better player allround.
6.) 04 Apr 2025 10:09:31
Wow, is he really Ed001?! I never noticed, always assumed he was right footed!
Makes me look a bit of a tit, and not for the first time!
I know that you have said you rate Kubo in the past, how would you compare him to Elliot, Ed001/.
{Ed001's Note - different types of players and Elliott is not really suited to a wide right role in the Prem. He is more of a playmaker. I wouldn't really compare the two as Kubo is very much at his best out wide, though I am not convinced he is all that quick either. I would rather give Elliott the shot though, if I was picking between them.}
7.) 04 Apr 2025 10:10:46
Zed, Kubo is not that fast either. Not much faster than Harvey. Perhaps a little bit not a difference making amount.
Wouldn't be my choice for LW. Prefer Harvey.
8.) 04 Apr 2025 10:34:57
Kubo is a technically excellent right winger. I think he'd get kicked from pillar to post in the Premier League.
I disagree about him being athletic and quick. He's definitely quick off the mark and has a low centre of gravity to change direction. But he's not quick over distance.
Spanish and German leagues suit him better.
9.) 04 Apr 2025 10:38:07
I’m not sure Kubo is the answer however I don’t think Harvey is either. Both lack real pace and goal threat if they are to occupy the Salah position. Admittedly the RW position is difficult to fill if your looking for a like for like Salah replacement or back up as the case may be but surely pure pace is a prerequisite?
10.) 04 Apr 2025 11:15:35
I think Harveys problem is that he is not fast enough to play on the wing and his lack of physicality (and pace) mean that he doesn't really fit into our current midfield which already lacks strength. If we brought in a strong/ powerful midfielder that could sit alongside Grav (or even Macca) then we might be able to give Elliot more minutes without worrying about losing the midfield battle.
11.) 04 Apr 2025 11:44:29
How we replace Salah will depend on what type of no9 we go for too.
12.) 04 Apr 2025 11:45:26
Yeah, the way we play, pace is so important. If Kubo isn't that person, maybe Frimpong would be a good shout to help push 2 positions - Bradley at RB and Mo at RW.
13.) 04 Apr 2025 14:50:51
Frimpong is ideal.
14.) 04 Apr 2025 18:07:51
The fact that we have people in the same thread praising his pace as people criticising his pace tells me at least of you have never seen the kid play.
15.) 04 Apr 2025 19:04:35
Mbeumo is the man. Year left on his contract. Play on the right or up front. Similar deal to when we signed Jota.
16.) 04 Apr 2025 21:45:52
You can’t “replace Salah” with any player currently playing.
In my opinion Kubo is a player who can ‘play that position in Slot’s team’. I don’t think Harvey can. I think Harvey is an attacking central midfielder.
Mbuemo would be another good option, I don’t know if he’s available though.
17.) 05 Apr 2025 15:01:57
Love Harv, but he may not be right for this manager and system it appears. He also lacks elite speed and athleticism as times. Still young and likely a better fit elsewhere.
Slot will need to bring in his guys now to improve squad depth/ player management if LFC want to truly compete for multiple trophies a year without wearing down his top 15 players like they have.
18.) 06 Apr 2025 08:51:07
I think Harvey could have a chance playing a Bobbie type role, eye for goal and clever link up play in congested areas.
12 Dec 2024 01:59:41
BBC reporting LFC interest in Brighton's striker Joao Pedro.
I hope this is true, he's a proper footballer that kid.
Two-footed, great in the air, quick, excellent close control, invites pressure and creates space for others, lethal in the box.
He has many qualities that remind me of Bobby.
If we sell Darwin and sign Joao Pedro that would do for me.
1.) 12 Dec 2024 05:43:27
My son has been raving about Joao Pedro for a while already. he'll be ecstatic if this is ?.
2.) 12 Dec 2024 10:12:39
Read Ed001 post about this player yesterday and I agree with what he said, it’s a no from me. Nunez the scapegoat stays for me.
3.) 12 Dec 2024 10:55:03
I don't know much about Joao Pedro, only seen him play a couple of times but a CB and midfielder is much more important in my opinion. Before we splash the cash on a new striker I hope we give Danns his chance. I highly doubt we're signing a striker anytime soon.
4.) 12 Dec 2024 11:00:49
I like Joao Pedro and at times this season he has been a creative focal point for Brighton. He didn't really play that way so much under De Zerbi, but this new manager has him playing differently and now he is coming deeper and pulling defenders all over the place to link up the play for Brighton. Last season he got 20 goals and 3 assists in 40 appearances (10 of his goals were penalties though) . This season he has 4 goals and 3 assists in 9 appearances (none of his goals were penalties) . From the small sample size so far he's scoring more from open play and creating more for his team mates. At 23 he still has much more room to grow as a player too. Brighton have actually been using him as more of a number 10 (maybe even an old school Second Striker in the Bergkamp/ Daglish sort of mould) with Welbeck ahead of him this season. If we are genuinely interested my main concern is his injury record. 40 games in the whole of last season despite Brighton being in Europe is relatively low, and 9 games this season out of a possible 18 is not exactly great either. He has shown a lot of improvement this season when he has been on the pitch but I don't think a big money signing should come with a "if they can stay fit" caveat. That's fine if you're paying £10m for Chiesa, but Pedro is going to cost any team over £50m I reckon.
NOTE: I just want to clarify I am obviously NOT comparing Pedro's ability level to Dalglish, Bergkamp etc. I am just using well known examples to explain how he's being asked to play this season in terms of style. He's miles off replicating their achievements in the game. Thought it best the clear that up in advance!
5.) 12 Dec 2024 17:18:17
Cheers for the write-up, MK. Appreciated.
6.) 12 Dec 2024 18:42:38
Stop comparing him up past legends @MKS ?.
7.) 12 Dec 2024 19:09:02
If we are in the market for a striker I'd take Matheus Cunha over Joao Pedro. I think Cunha would fir our style perfectly.
8.) 12 Dec 2024 19:16:51
Don't worry lads, the striker situation is sorted. I am back in training and coming out of retirement. I can confirm I will be signing my contract with lfc on January 1st.
9.) 12 Dec 2024 19:17:31
Any player with a suspect injury record should be swerved like the plague . We need robust, consistent players up front to compliment Mo.
10.) 12 Dec 2024 20:21:20
WDW, I think he can be better than Messi. There. I said it ??♂️.
11.) 12 Dec 2024 21:30:38
@Walkon there's been no chat at all about buying a Striker. If this is true I wish you all the best.
Something tells me you're on a wind up but I thought LFC are only interested in a midfielder and possibly a defender.
12.) 12 Dec 2024 22:13:08
Joao Pedro would be a great addition to the forward particularly in how we want to play. good link up play, creative, good angles, everything. solid player and can see him taking the next step with us.
13.) 13 Dec 2024 04:48:30
Funny enough neg I think you are on a permanent wind up.
14.) 14 Dec 2024 09:48:46
Ha, revealed at last @MKS ?
@Vango, or perhaps we give potential signings a thorough medical before we sign them.
15.) 14 Dec 2024 11:03:25
I wonder if Brighton would be up for another player trade - like we did with Mac Allister (Lallana and Milner going the other way) .
I’d happily let them take Jota or Nunez for Joao Pedro and a fee. Fee of about £40m plus one of those two.
Kid will be worth a lot more.
23 Apr 2024 02:39:52
Paulo Fonseca being linked too.
There’s an interesting one. He’s got a good record, likes to attack and develop youth players.
1.) 23 Apr 2024 06:40:36
We must have reached the bottom of the barrel if we’re at him. Calling him a journeyman is being generous. That or the journalists are now sticking random names in a hat and hoping for the best.
2.) 23 Apr 2024 07:31:01
I’ve read this morning that Amorim is tipped for us, this is the first public hint I’ve viewed anywhere other than on this great site, I read it on Live soccer tv. There’s a little bio on him too.
3.) 23 Apr 2024 07:47:04
Kew, that article read like an AI produced round up of previous rumours, so wasn’t saying anything new. According to the usually reliable David Ornstein, Amorim has spoken to West Ham, he’s unlikely to join us as manager and we’re apparently looking at “other options”.
4.) 23 Apr 2024 07:57:33
Interesting Kew. Ornstein (one of the more reliable journos) has tweeted last night that he’s now “unlikely”.
I think Ed002 mentioned that we couldn’t agree terms/ responsibilities with his agent.
5.) 23 Apr 2024 08:16:18
If we’re not going to land an recognised TOP drawer manager We might as well go for Gerrard. He will, at the very least, win instant respect of the dressing room- manage egos well. Who knows the club DNA better? He will fire up a squad that will feel deflated post Klopp (unless we pull off the miracle of winning the Prem)
{Ed025's Note - him or Lampard would do me Kenco.. :)
6.) 23 Apr 2024 08:42:54
Good god I'd rather have De Zerbi over Gerrard and that's saying something.
7.) 23 Apr 2024 08:45:22
"My rumours are truer than your rumours".
8.) 23 Apr 2024 09:10:35
Kenco, stick to coffee as football isn’t your thing, Gerrard will never be good enough or competent enough a manager. A career in punditry is awaiting him on Match of the Day.
9.) 23 Apr 2024 09:13:32
The idea of Thomas frank is growing on me.
Prem xp, good personality, good football. Pros and cons to everyone who isn't klopp.
{Ed001's Note - good football? Since when? Good shithousery, but never good football. They are horrible to watch, all niggly fouls and time wasting.}
10.) 23 Apr 2024 09:53:27
Clutching straws but bits I've watched outside playing the top teams prem sides when he's had players at his disposal like mbeumo the football looked good.
Obviously I'm far from an expert or really know what I'm looking for to be honest, I like him tho and his personality.
I'm terms of who's being linked and reported who do you feel is the more suited, better option.
{Ed001's Note - I like him as a person, he comes across very well, but he is not a top level manager. He is at his level.
There is no top option out there. The standout is Alonso, the rest are huge gambles. Amorim and Slot are the next best options probably.}
11.) 23 Apr 2024 10:16:36
Good Lord. We've gone from the prospect of getting Alonso to Amorin to now discussing Kovac, Frank and Gerrard?
I think I'm going to puke ?
Ed1, if it's not Amorin or Slot, who else can we go after?
Any wildcard options like Fonseca, Motta, Michel etc? Any of them good in your opinion? I can't say I've seen any of their games.
{Ed001's Note - honestly the rest are all huge gambles. There is no one who has the outstanding qualities or has shown himself to suit the Liverpool way, other than Alonso. Even Amorim and Slot are big gambles.}
12.) 23 Apr 2024 10:35:39
Opinion on Slot Ed1? I haven't watch Dutch League or his Fayenoord team. How is his team plays and what formations did he use? To be honest the idea of a manager from Dutch League as our manager doesn't convince me. We all saw what happen to Ten Hag at UTD. And Ten Hag manage to get his Ajax side to UCL semi final but look out of his depth at UTD.
{Ed001's Note - I haven't really seen enough of Slot's Feyenoord team to really judge him properly. It is more about the record he has, compared to money spent that makes him a standout. I do have the same fear I have to say.}
13.) 23 Apr 2024 10:52:55
Why do people think Frank would be a good appointment? He would be catastrophic, the man has absolutely no track record of success and his teams play horrible football, this is far too big a job for him.
14.) 23 Apr 2024 11:03:53
What about Inter's Simone Inzaghi Ed1? I don't know why his name has not being mentioned as potential Klopp replacement. He seems to be doing great with Inter, last season UCL finalist and blowing out competition in Serie A this season. Inter just lose once this season and conceded only 18 goals. Don't know whether he speaks English or not though.
{Ed001's Note - not for me. Every time I saw his Lazio team play they were so bad to watch and his Inter has been the same. He doesn't seem to have the right personality either. All clubs are unique and require the right personality to be a true success and I don't see signs of him having it.}
15.) 23 Apr 2024 11:45:15
After the German season has finished, Liverpool need to go cap-in-hand to Alonso's agent and have another go at getting him.
{Ed002's Note - He won't be joining Liverpool.}
16.) 23 Apr 2024 11:50:02
2000s Portsmouth Mafia could be running the club! Gary O’Neil latest to be rumoured.
{Ed002's Note - Gary O'Neil (C) If Moyes departs, O'Neil will join the likely candidates for West Ham. I suspect he will stay where he is. Links to Liverpool are likely just to be with the input of Richard Hughes – I really cannot see the club going that way – it would be a shock and I think risky with so little experience.}
17.) 23 Apr 2024 08:37:33
Ed25.I see you haven't lost your sense of humor.
Maybe it's because Everton are basically safe now. unless the FA decide to deduct more points.
Since you're throwing Lamps name around. why not just add Allardyce to that list? Or even Moyes since Amorim is replacing Moyes.
I reckon we are all going to be shocked by the next appointment. can't wait!
{Ed025's Note - all good candidates i would say JLC, we are talking top notch candidates here mate.. :)
18.) 23 Apr 2024 15:57:32
De zerbi's better than people on here think, wouldn't surprise me at all to see him do great things if he went to a top club with a squad to match.
19.) 23 Apr 2024 16:47:35
ED001, if we are way down our list of preferred managers, what do you think of Iraola at Bournemouth? Seems to have turned a relegation threatened team in to one that is more mid table (after the players bought in to his ideas) . Could he step up?
{Ed001's Note - before he went to Bournemouth he was certainly very impressive in Spain. He seems to have turned it around on the south coast as well. Like all the other options, it just seems a bit soon for him to be getting the Liverpool job.}
20.) 23 Apr 2024 18:23:12
I have done a bit of research and Slot might not be that bad of a gamble. He plays attacking, entertaining football which also press high up the pitch. He uses a 433 or 4231 which would fit with the players we currently have.
Feyenoord have the most tackles in the final third over all Dutch teams. He also operates on a smaller budget to those clubs around him, sound familiar?
The more I read the more I like.
30 Mar 2024 07:12:49
Hi ed002:
I know you don’t generally indulge in speculation but I wondered if Xavi might be an option Liverpool would consider to replace Klopp. Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Xavi Hernandez (C) Will take a year off and think carefully about his options. Middle East perhaps.}
1.) 30 Mar 2024 08:18:02
Thanks Ed002, greatly appreciated.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome Ron.}
2.) 30 Mar 2024 10:47:59
I think that he would be a really poor choice…. about Southgate level.
As a totally left field suggestion I would offer Pep Guardiola an escape from Citeh before the proverbial hits the fan and they are removed from the EPL.
3.) 30 Mar 2024 11:49:10
With Klopp and all his backroom staff going i find it hard as to why FSG just accept this. The romantic indulgant option on Alonso is not going to happen and there's never a guarantee of success. All our history says that passing the role on from within has been key to the success, Shankly to Paisley, to Fagan to king kenny. Surely Klopp if he loves Liverpool must get into Ljinders and say come on you can do this these lads will play for you these lads will cross the line for you. I reckon Ljinders should go for it, much better than an unknown and untrusted man for the players. Which is key for keeping our key players. Any thoughts?
4.) 30 Mar 2024 12:30:19
Take Ed002s word very seriously so I guess it’s not going to be Xavi.
I don’t know how I’d feel about it anyway.
But let’s be honest, any manager we get is going to be a step backwards. Who could be as great as Klopp has been?
Any candidate anyone suggests is going to have faults and liable to receive criticism.
It’s going to be an impossible task so better to buckle up and expect trouble ahead.
But whoever we choose they will need time, that’s why we need a young intelligent manager who understands the game but has that hunger to succeed. Maybe someone with something to prove rather than someone at the peak of his powers.
5.) 30 Mar 2024 14:07:46
What exactly can FSG do about it if Klopp's staff decided to bow out with him?
Can't exactly keep them against their will.
And Klopp would probably know better than anyone if any of his staff would be up to it, why would he talk them into doing something that would bring massive stress and cause them to be a target for constant criticism from impatient fans?
6.) 30 Mar 2024 15:11:45
Don’t successful managers usually take their back room staff with them?
At least the majority of their staff?
It makes it easier to start a new project.
7.) 30 Mar 2024 16:18:35
So if Pep Lijnders was offered the Liverpool job he would pick a 1yr holiday or a chance to manage let's say Ajax over Liverpool? The chance is only there once and it could be now. Another possibilty is he's loyal to Klopp and Klopps reasons for leaving doesn't mean Lijinders and the rest of em ain't off to Ibiza while Klopp makes up his mind, more to Klopp leaving than meets the eye if they are that loyal.
8.) 30 Mar 2024 17:51:58
So fbart on your judgement we should have hired Colin pascoe instead of klopp when Rodgers left . I’m ok with the staff leaving when klopp does as the next head coach needs his people around him the people that have got him the Liverpool job in the 1st place . I’d rather that than having some of klopps guys around then the new coach let’s say Amorim for example has the excuse of well I’m not working with my own people etc . It’s sad that klopps going (really sad) but also this is an opportunity for us as a club to push on even further . I’m well aware of the risk of going backwards but their is as equal amount of opportunity to push forwards aswell it just depends on if the glass is half empty or half full . I try to base my life on the the glass overflowing . Let’s send klopp off in style and let’s get even better and bigger
Yes the red men ??.
9.) 30 Mar 2024 18:44:00
Onwards and upwards, just get the impression the players respond well to lijnders and it could be an option. Klopp has propelled us to the top and finding a replacement based on who is available seems like whoever comes in will not have Klopps charisma or credentials. My theory with Lijnders is better the devil you know it offers continuity.
10.) 30 Mar 2024 23:32:09
From what I understand, Ljinders doesn't want the job. Now maybe he's a master poker player, but at face value that should tell us all we need to know.
11.) 31 Mar 2024 11:37:29
Why does anybody think he want the job?
Put aside the fact that he’s stated he doesn’t want the job why do so many people think that just because someone has done one job well that he’d automatically want a different job at the same club?
I’m pretty certain, for a large number of contributors at any rate, that they would love the job and so think everybody else must want it too.
02 Aug 2023 21:52:27
Hi Ed002, are Liverpool still interested in Kalvin Phillips?
I’ve got a bad feeling about this….
{Ed002's Note - I gave not heard he is no longer an option.}
1.) 02 Aug 2023 22:26:14
Oh ed002, you tease!
2.) 02 Aug 2023 22:31:21
Thanks Ed002.
3.) 03 Aug 2023 09:45:00
Ron. We need a player prepared to sit and shield our defence - whoever that is I’d be happy right now. I actually quite like Tyler Adams who has a £25m release clause apparently.
4.) 03 Aug 2023 10:23:03
I don't think Tyler Adams is good enough and we shouldn't be bothered signing someone at his level. We need better than that.
Quality over quantity, I would rather have a smaller squad of a higher quality than pad the squad with below par players.
5.) 03 Aug 2023 11:07:53
He’s no Bellingham Sean but I’d rather have a squad with a DM than none at all regardless of who we could have got or what we should have paid etc.
6.) 03 Aug 2023 11:20:56
Can Phillips stay fit though?
And by buying him off City aren’t we just creating space in their squad for them to go out and get an even better player.
7.) 03 Aug 2023 11:35:31
Adams would be such a good signing. Kid is a natural born leader with a great head on his shoulders. Any interest ed002? Papers linking him with Chelsea or arsenal, with an offer from villa.
{Ed002's Note - No.}
8.) 03 Aug 2023 17:24:34
Phillips has weight and fitness issues, also isn’t that good, Adams has injury issues as well, both should be avoided at all costs.
9.) 03 Aug 2023 18:36:56
If Adams is £25m, why not get Andre for a little more?

Got to feel for Bournemouth
Huijsen gone
Kerkez looks to be next
Semenyo targeted by Man U
Kepa gone.
1.) 15 Jun 2025 15:52:36
Yeah they've been completely raided. Some good funds to play about with though.
2.) 15 Jun 2025 15:55:30
And Hughes gone.
3.) 15 Jun 2025 16:09:30
And the rumour that Leverkusen want Kluivert to replace Wirtz.
4.) 15 Jun 2025 16:20:57
Zarbanyi to psg too.
5.) 15 Jun 2025 16:32:24
Bournemouth will be just fine. Their injury list last season was crazy and they managed fine. They'll spend 60 mill on 4 players and make a hefty profit in 2 or 3 transfer windows time.
6.) 15 Jun 2025 17:11:32
Didn't zabarnyi just sign a 5 year contract?
Kluivert will probably be thinking about his options and iraola won't be short of suitors either.
7.) 15 Jun 2025 17:16:05
That’s what these clubs do tho, getting good players in and moving them on for good profit. Brighton are the same.
8.) 15 Jun 2025 17:53:57
Bournemouth's recruitment couldn't have been too bad recently.
9.) 15 Jun 2025 18:04:32
I'd take semenyo.
10.) 15 Jun 2025 18:10:10
Yeah Brighton had their best ever EPL finish the season after selling Caicedo!
11.) 15 Jun 2025 19:51:54
Ed01 addressed this very topic and he said that getting raided is what B'mouth expect as that is how they are run with signing players with great potential and then selling them on on good to very good fees. Rinse, repeat. They are just like Brighton in a sense.
12.) 15 Jun 2025 20:35:51
Ed001 was quite critical of some of Bournemouth's signings.
Let's have it right, Oli.
{Ed001's Note - yes, of Solanke and a few others. None of which featured in the first choice XI last season, except Semenyo. They were all replaced by better, such as Huijsen, who I certainly wasn't critical of, quite the opposite, I said before the season started that he was a coup for them.}
13.) 15 Jun 2025 23:36:40
I'm quite surprised Spurs didn't go for Iraola instead. I think he's doing a great job there and will keep things ticking for B'mouth even after the fire sale.
14.) 15 Jun 2025 23:42:17
I'm not saying you are wrong, Ed001.
I'm saying Oli is.
I think Bournemouth have recruited well in the past few years but it's a subjective issue.
But if I remember rightly, you were critical of all Bournemouth's backline, this year. Not this season; this year.
There's nothing wrong with being critical, though. I thought our midfield was wetter than a Bank Holiday weekend and we had nobody through the middle up front and we walked the League.
{Ed001's Note - I certainly wasn't critical of Huijsen, I wanted us to get him before he moved to the Cherries. Their defence the previous season was weak, which is why they changed it around, brought back Kerkez from loan (iirc) and brought in Huijsen. They did struggle for a right back though this season. It is Iraola that is special there though, imo. Fantastic coach who is similar to Slot in knowing how to get the best from what he has. I think I know what you are talking about, when MK was telling us how great their recruitment was and I was pointing out how it is a different level recruiting for us.}

Either you’re not good enough and fail to adapt so the club move you on
Or you’re past it
Or you’re brilliant and a club poaches you.
Whatever the case movement is normal in football. Sometimes the club initiates it, sometimes the player initiates it.
I’d say most of the time it’s the club.
I’ll never forget that corner to to Origi against Barcelona.
1.) 10 May 2025 08:49:27
Most of the time the £80m player doesn’t go for free. Also most of the time the best players don’t leave a winning team.
2.) 10 May 2025 09:12:29
Exactly Mark - if he was leaving for a hefty fee I’m sure most fans would be disappointed but wish him well. Leaving on a free and shortchanging the club who developed him, gave him his chance, etc, whom he is a supporter of, sours the apple somewhat. I don’t think people should be surprised, nor do I think they should chastise, fans who feel aggrieved.
3.) 10 May 2025 09:47:13
I’ll be honest if Trent features tomorrow then I won’t boo him but I also probably won’t sing his name.
If he scores I’lll obviously celebrate the goal and I have no ill feelings towards the lad.
He’s been a very good player for us but he was just a cog in a very good machine that was built by Klopp and fine tuned by Slot.
Hopping we go for it tomorrow to make it another big day for the fans in and around the ground.
4.) 10 May 2025 10:05:17
I agree 100% with what Mark n Seano said . n if true what the reporters are saying about VVD N Salah taking a fair bit from our transfer budget . that 70 million might have helped .
5.) 10 May 2025 10:20:08
The “corner taken quickly” was as much down to big div too. I don’t think he makes the bench tomorrow to much of a circus I don’t think he plays for us again ( I hope he doesn’t) I think he will hear booing if he does get minutes. Really tho he should stay away just go now it’s over for you.
6.) 10 May 2025 20:10:45
I’m with you JK. I don’t think I’ll be able to bring myself to boo him at Palace but I don’t think I’ll sing his name or clap him either.
He deserves his recognition for his part in the title win and he’ll get that with the parade. But beyond that I don’t feel right outwardly singing his name anymore.
7.) 10 May 2025 21:35:06
Why boo the kid he has served us well, also as much as I hate to admit it money talks! 15 years of murica with trump in the mix does that.
8.) 10 May 2025 22:12:27
Jesus, let it go. It’s done. Move on.
@Scouse John - the ‘corner taken quickly had to do with 1 player - who had / has the talent to see the opportunity and put the ball precisely where it needed to be. The other 21 players on the pitch weren’t aware until it was happening and they couldn’t react quick enough to do anything about it. The ball got to Div cos the player taking the corner saw the chance and put the ball on a plate for Div. sad that you want to tarnish one of the best pieces of skill in the last decade for the club.
17 Apr 2025 22:56:52
Wow that Chekri!
He’s a baller.
Sign him up Arne, along with Huijsen and Cunha.
1.) 18 Apr 2025 07:21:26
Agreed about Chekri, And he’s only very young .
I wasn’t really impressed with Ekitike though. Not sure he’s good enough for the Prem… and especially at the fee that Frankfurt would demand.
2.) 18 Apr 2025 09:53:03
Agree La, Ekitike looks like a Gakpo to me. I like Gakpo but we have him already and he’s not a difference maker. He’s decent.
06 Mar 2025 12:28:54
Let’s send a lot of praise the way of Darwin Nunez. ?
He’s probably off in the summer.
He’s always got rough treatment by pundits and press.
He’s a cult hero to some and a weak link to others.
He’s missed a sitter against Villa and then taken abuse from everywhere and criticism from the manager.
But still, he comes on as a sub, throws himself about in a game we’ve been pummelled in. He battled for the ball and laid of a beautifully timed ball for Elliott.
And still - that lad celebrated harder than any other player when the ball hit the net.
I wish you could bottle his determination, his enthusiasm and his team spirit because it’s almost unmatched in this day and age.,
I hope that performance gets him a great transfer and a good wage.
He’s not the greatest, but you can’t help but love him. ??.
1.) 06 Mar 2025 13:08:17
There's still a player in there, he just needs the right system and the right environment to explode. Maybe he isn't built to be a top tier player in the prem, but honestly even in that regard if klopp was still here I'm pretty sure that he would have double figures right now, that was how high his xg was last year playing in klopp's system.
Still massive credit to him for not pouting or feeling sorry for himself after slot told everyone he needs to pick himself up. I wouldn't be surprised if he played a big part in the second leg, especially if Cody isn't back yet.
2.) 06 Mar 2025 13:21:32
Great post, Ron, and i fully agree. Personally, i’d give him another season and let Jota move on.
3.) 06 Mar 2025 13:39:02
I love him. He brings far more than just goals. Granted some better finishing would be appreciated but I would still start him above jota every day of the week.
4.) 06 Mar 2025 13:39:22
I'd like to think we will keep him but I know there's little to no chance of it. I'd much prefer we sold Jota and got Cunha while keeping Nunez and giving Danns more of a chance from time to time next season.
Either way, what a lad, the way he controlled the ball yesterday before passing to Elliot, he looked calm, thought about what he was doing and boom, job done!
5.) 06 Mar 2025 13:40:18
We clearly need a striker that can play in the striker role instead off playing a winger there. And clearly Jota is not the answer and Nunez is too inconsistent. Ed1 speaking of striker, who would you take Torres in his prime or Sturridge in his prime without the all the injuries?
{Ed001's Note - Sturridge is better at the link up and could play in the Slot system so easily. Torres would need to adapt his game, so I would have to say Studger.}
6.) 06 Mar 2025 13:47:33
I can't remember where I read this in the last couple of days, but you could see Nunez being very successful for Atletico Madrid under Simeone.
There is definitely a player in there and I remember how glad I was that we managed to sign him when he gave our defence tough games every time we faced him.
7.) 06 Mar 2025 14:12:11
Interesting how Darwin absolutely dominated their CB's aerially last night. He's not much of a target man usually but if psg are going to dominate the ball at Anfield (big if) then he'd be worth starting.
8.) 06 Mar 2025 14:48:19
It's all hypothetical, regards to Sturridge, I know, but his injury record was worse than Jota's if memory serves me. He was great in the 13/ 14 season, but unreliable thereafter, if I remember.
9.) 06 Mar 2025 15:20:34
Play Nunez in his Benfica position (on the left) instead of Diaz, who was awful last night. Stop trying to make him into a striker.
10.) 06 Mar 2025 15:30:42
It’s like Diego forlan he worked his arse off at Man Utd but just wasn’t cut out for the prem. isn’t he also Uruguayan? Some players just aren’t cut out for the physical and mental pace of the premiership.
11.) 06 Mar 2025 18:00:46
Think it was probably too early in forlan's career for that move, if he has joined united after atletico or villareal I'm pretty sure he would have been fantastic and brimming with confidence.
19 Jun 2025 11:38:14
Imagine if it was the real Slot and a couple of internet rumours posters are disrespecting him calling him “Sherlock” ?.
19 Jun 2025 09:03:18
Throwing £100 million at him is heavier than throwing a kitchen sink and much more bulky.
I doubt anyone could throw it to be honest.
19 Jun 2025 00:38:37
If Arsenal throw a kitchen sink at Isak I’m sure he’s quick enough to dodge it even if he is wrapped in cotton wool and has a niggling groin injury.
I mean how quickly can anyone throw a kitchen sink? Even Geoff Capes himself couldn’t throw it that quickly.
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a kitchen sink.
18 Jun 2025 20:30:33
Isak is far better than Osimhen.
Osimhen does not have the composure, the ice in his veins with the ball in front of goal. He often snatches at chances. Isak has much better composure which is the difference in the premier league.
The reason Solksjaer had more success than some far more skilful players.
He had great composure in front of goal, same as Owen, same as Fowler and Rush.
They were cool in front of goal.
Isak is in the same mould.
18 Jun 2025 08:54:08
Can someone remind me who has won the internet.
Thanks.
19 Jun 2025 23:56:32
TMI Ed001.
{Ed001's Note - so you don't want the pics as well Ron?}
19 Jun 2025 23:55:06
Barnes, Beardsley, Aldo and Houghton ?.
19 Jun 2025 23:53:27
Guehi is not a great defender, too small.
19 Jun 2025 10:02:40
Spoiler alert :
He was crap.
19 Jun 2025 00:39:59
I’m with Robbo and 25.
Caicedo has been bang average.
