Ed002 - any substance with rumour in Echo that we're looking at Branthwaite or is Inacio still more preferred target? Also any news on Gomez situation. TIA as always ?.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of LIverpool making any approach for Brathwaite.}
1.) 19 Aug 2024 12:33:21
They won’t let him join us. Imagine the uproar we buy him and they go down he’d have to go into hiding. It’s already toxic as it is.
2.) 19 Aug 2024 15:10:10
Branthwaite will never ever play for us. Everton simply won’t sell to us.
3.) 20 Aug 2024 01:25:27
maybe we can get valencia to buy him and then loan him to us with an arrangement that we buy him off them in 2025
:D.
4.) 20 Aug 2024 02:12:53
Why do people always say everton will never sell to us? Transfer have happened between the two clubs before if the price is right.

Ed002 - With the reluctance of Sporting to do any biz with Liverpool (re Inacio) would Marc Guehi be of (significant) interest?
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool are having to deal with Inacio through his agent.. Huehi is not an option for Liverpool and is most likely heading elsewhere.}
1.) 16 Aug 2024 16:48:10
Guehi is a very good player, but he is over priced. As are many young players.
Unfortunately, the precedent has been set with Fofana at Chelsea, Maguire at Man Utd and even our own Virg. I'd suggest some are worth it and some aren't.
I don't blame Palace for trying to get as much as they can, but Guehi isn't a 70 million pound player in my opinion.

Hi Eds understand an opening offer has been made to Atalanta for Ederson circa €48mill - is it more hot air and whispers or something more concrete from your sources? What is your opinion of him if fact? Will he fit into Slots preferred formation? TIA.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any offer at this time.}
29 May 2024 18:30:38
Hi Eds the rumours regarding Johan Bakayoko from PSV seem to gathering pace and substance - anything more concrete from your side and so you think he would be a valuable addition? TIA.
{Ed002's Note - Johan Bakayoko (RW) Cost effective solution for PSG but may stuggle to be a starter so will not be interested in a move just to be cover. Liverpool have him on the list of potential Salah replacements but have not made any approach to PSV at this time - but he is certainly an option although if Salah decides to see his contract out it will disrupt any move. Spurs and Brentford offer realistic options. Chelsea and Manchester City have sent scouts but have preferred options. Borussia Dortmund see him as an option to Sancho but have also identified a preferred option.}
1.) 29 May 2024 21:06:38
Does all these clubs having preferred options not show that he is not good enough for us?
2.) 29 May 2024 21:46:58
People could have said the same about Mo Salah when we signed him, Jude.
3.) 29 May 2024 21:52:59
Are Liverpool looking to renew salah's contract?
4.) 29 May 2024 23:13:02
Would be daft to renew Salah’s contract given his age and decline.
5.) 29 May 2024 23:18:35
Salah wasn’t our preferred choice either, wasn’t he something like third choice, according to the accepted wisdom at the time he signed.
6.) 30 May 2024 06:55:45
Jesus does Salah not been our first choice justify every link to a player that's not good enough for us? hearing it years when we'd be linked to a player NONE of our rivals would consider good enough. i'd rather give Doak a try than waste 40-50m on Bakayoko.
7.) 30 May 2024 09:06:41
Doak is nowhere near ready has no end product yet and as ed1 has said might never be.
8.) 30 May 2024 09:38:49
Ed 001 is not the oracle fatwallet. Bakayoko is not good enough, by all means get a RW in but aim higher than him.
9.) 31 May 2024 11:30:24
@Jude, are you talking about Phillips going to Citeh, by any chance, or Caicedo to Chelsea, or Raphina to Barcelona etc?
12 May 2024 17:44:07
Hi again Ed002 - anything more concrete on a £69mill tentative bid for Aurélien Tchouaméni which is currently doing the rumour-whisper-around?! And with Julian Ward now back as part of the back room Dream Team will FSG give them a substantial warchest for Slot or will it be sell first and buy later? Thanks as always ?.
{Ed002's Note - Aurelien Tchouameni (CM/DM) Real Madrid do not wish to sell but recovering the money spent last year would go a long way towards topping up the Mbappe pot. Real Madrid has spoken to with Chelsea, who were previously blocked from completing negotions for the player, about him during discussions over two other players and some sort of exchange may be possible, but I suspect uilikely this summer. Bayern Munich have also told Real Madrid that they will be interested if he were to be made available, but they would like a loan with an option to buy although an exchange may be possible with Davies. Manchester United would be interested in taking him if available. There is no declared interest from elsewhere and any move seems unlikely. Previously illegally tapped up by Klopp but Liverpool but Liverpool may just return to see what can be done but there is certainly no advanced talks or bids. Madrid would possibly look to a part exchange with Trent Alexander Arnold.
I don't know what you mean by a "warchest" but Liverpool will have the funds to ensure the squad remains competitive.}
1.) 12 May 2024 21:43:31
I personally think losing Trent would be a catastrophic move and would much prefer to keep him than p/ x him with Tchouameni ?. By “war chest “ I mean additional funds on top of what we’ll get for finishing 3rd in PL (circa £170 mill ) PLUS circa £17 mill for CL qualification. They were prepared to splash £110 mill for Caicedo and that hasn’t been spent (apart for Endo purchase) ??.
2.) 12 May 2024 23:21:33
You do realise Schultzy that transfer funds aren’t determined by league placements. There’s only £3m difference in prize money between finishing places.
3.) 13 May 2024 06:08:59
There’s always been a big box in Edwards’s office where we keep the war chest for transfers. Every week we have a whip round and put the cash in the chest.
4.) 13 May 2024 06:42:24
I always thought it was just a sack with a huge dollar sign drawn on the front of it. Good to know that it's an actual chest.
5.) 13 May 2024 08:02:46
And get 10 lucky dips to see if we can boost it up a little Dracred.
6.) 13 May 2024 10:31:08
Ah, the annual Tchouameni chase. He's the new Simao.
7.) 13 May 2024 12:01:16
If it came down to it would you take Trent and Endo or Bradley and Tchouameni interested as to what people should choose.
8.) 13 May 2024 13:50:33
Fuser we will earn over £165 million for finishing 3rd in PL which goes straight on the bottom line so I’d like to think (perhaps naively indeed) they’d spend a large portion of that on an incoming quality left back, centre back and DCM…. not too much to ask for is it! ? Howling at some of the comments on FSG ???.
9.) 13 May 2024 14:46:41
@OneKiss, what makes you think it is one or the other. We already have TAA, Bradley and Endo, why don’t we just buy Tchouameni too and have all four?
10.) 13 May 2024 15:03:14
Can we please stop using words like warchest. It's a transfer kitty. We're not at war. In this day and age, it's a bit insensitive.
{Ed033's Note - Transfer kitty's are for women's football. :)
11.) 13 May 2024 15:52:49
Football finances are so massively misunderstood by fans. Everyone thinks it's like household finances.
Clubs almost always spend money they don't have and then aim to gain the money later via a variety of means.
The transfer fee is actually the cheapest part of a transfer, salaries are the most expensive and the part which accountants sweat over the most.
12.) 13 May 2024 16:16:44
I don't get the impression at all that the player wants out, further complicating any potential transfer. He had previously spurned LFC for Madrid after speaking with Klopp directly, so I just can't see him being interested in this move at the moment.
13.) 13 May 2024 22:01:15
mftjones, but now his godfather (slot) is taking over the reigns.
14.) 15 May 2024 01:35:03
Schultzy, and what money pays for the £350-400m/ year wage bill? ?.

Think last night showed how much we need a left back replacement for Robbo! If they had a goal poacher the score would be very different!
1.) 06 Mar 2025 15:43:30
So we need a replacement LB to nullify a threat that PSG don't have? Righto.
2.) 06 Mar 2025 16:14:32
I'm pretty sure the whole plan was to let them have the outside cause they don't have that threat to knock it in from the 6 yard box. It took an incredible performance from Alisson cause their potshots were world class, but after half time, the plan worked well. Especially so when Endo came on.
3.) 06 Mar 2025 16:52:59
Right Stonage, we should give Robertson an extension because he is great in the dressing room.
4.) 06 Mar 2025 17:31:27
There should be a competition. After every game it seems one or two people always put forward an opinion that one player or another should be sold because they don’t live up to the expectations that the critic has of them.
Each time a player is mentioned they would earn a point. At the end of the season the top three with the highest points should then have their contracts cancelled and be shown the door by the club. It’d be an incentive for the players to improve eh?
14 Jul 2025 17:41:28
Thank fook for that ????.
03 Jul 2025 10:55:05
Absolutely shocking news - mortified! Only married a few weeks ago and leaves a wife and three beautiful children! The winning goal in the 4-3 against Spurs will live long in the memory! RIP our Number 20!??.
24 Jun 2025 16:22:15
EDIT (predictive text error?) Isak Contracted at Magpies til 2028 and on circa £120 per week. His agent alone will be in his ear and saying he could at least double that, score a shed load of goals AND potentially win the big titles! ??.
24 Jun 2025 15:21:32
Isak Contracted at Magpies til 2028 and on circa £120 per week. His agent alone will be in his ear and saying he could at least double, score a rubbish load of goals AND potentially win the big titles! ??.
21 Jun 2025 21:54:08
Isak won’t happen imo - Newcastle owners on drugs with some of the ridiculous demands being mooted! Osimhen although admittedly a born goalscorer he has some baggage and wage demands laughable. Alvarez doesn’t want to leave Spain so Martinez or Sesko are more realistic targets but we’ve got to sell Nunez AT ALL COSTS in this window??!
