In regards to Lavia, we bid £45M and got a no from Soton. Chelsea bid £48M and got a no from Soton. We could have put in a bid for the "minimum" asking price of £50M but chances are Chelsea would go higher (as they did) with £55M hence we now go for £60M.
No drama and certainly nothing embarrassing about 2 teams competing for a player.
Macalister and Soho had release clauses which is why they were relatively straightforward, MC and Lavia will be sold to the highest bidder in the same way many other players will and have been this window i. e Declan Rice, Gvardiol, Mount etc.

Makes perfect sense to me Tosh, great post ?.


2.) 14 Aug 2023 12:42:12
Unless that player has a preference to sign for one club over another. They can bid all they want, but if the player does not want to move, then he doesn't have to. I thought that was obvious after the Caicedo deal.


3.) 14 Aug 2023 12:44:59
The player wants chelsea same as Caicedo. Its nothing to do with Money. we had the time and opportunity to persue the player long back and sat like a duck.
Mc Allister, VVD, Sobo all wanted to come to us. You need player consent first and foremost.


4.) 14 Aug 2023 12:56:16
Two hours have passed and yet no statement from any close to LFC journalist. We know where this is going right?

{Ed002's Note - What do you expect Liverpool to say?}


5.) 14 Aug 2023 13:03:06
Lavia has every reason to feel aggrieved at us. We spend all that time telling him he’s the perfect midfielder for us only to bin him off for Caicedo, only to get the brush off from Caicedo and go back to Lavia with our tail between our legs. At this rate we’ll be panic signing dross like Phillips and Gravenberch.


6.) 14 Aug 2023 13:42:15
VV maybe you should phone up Klopp etc and give him your vast knowledge of the game and players and tell him, it’s funny but as soon as Liverpool play their first game of the season all the trolls come stumbling out of their caves with their 10 penny worth, prior to that not a word, anyway Klopp eagerly awaits your phone call.


7.) 14 Aug 2023 13:20:58
Just because we bid for another player doesn’t mean we binned him. We like Chelsea are allowed to go for more than one midfielder.


8.) 14 Aug 2023 13:24:32
Tosh lavia is not worth that amount clearly. The club should move on so should you.


9.) 14 Aug 2023 13:25:31

Whine whine whine. Moan moan moan. Same old, same old. Might as well dedicate another thread to whining and moaning.

Your mum called. Said its time to change your nappy.

Good post OP.


11.) 14 Aug 2023 13:43:21
Viktor, Chelsea have been telling Lavia they want him at the Bridge longer than Liverpool, Ed002 has made this clear.


12.) 14 Aug 2023 13:44:34
Viktor, at what point did the club say he is the perfect MF for them, I must have missed that press briefing. To say the club are returning with the tail between their legs as well is just nonsense. They are making a bid higher than that of Chelsea in the hope it allows them to sign the player.


13.) 14 Aug 2023 13:47:24
Why are people saying Lavia has already. l chosen Chelsea? The only report I have read says that both clubs want him. Ed002 has said that Chelsea’s are confident he wants to come to them. Well yeah, otherwise they wouldn’t have bid. LFC are also confident otherwise they wouldn’t have bud so this is not surprising. Pretty sure one of the Ed’s said yesterday his preference is LFC, so I’m not sure where all the negativity is coming from?
Watch him join Chelsea now just to spite me! ?.


14.) 14 Aug 2023 13:50:50
Just playing devil's advocate but maybe Liverpool were fully aware of chelsea's ffp issues and so made the bid for mc knowing that would then take Chelsea to their maximum expenditure by making a better offer. Hence their delay in offering a better deal, and then pulling out of the tyler adams deal.
Which in turn would prevent Chelsea from being able to then exceed any offer we place for lavia.

{Ed002's Note - What FFP issue is that? The one which said they could not buy Caicedo and some embarrassing "masterstroke" from Liverpool. Move on.}}


15.) 14 Aug 2023 14:10:57
If Lavia changes his mind and wants to go to Chelsea, it is entirely up to him. Not sour grapes, but if he goes to Chelsea, he might find it more difficult to get minutes compared to Liverpool. We need a DM more than Chelsea, so if he wants to play, the choice is obvious.

As far as I know, there's more than 2 DMs in the world. Just because they had successful seasons does not automatically mean that they will be an instant hit. Sometimes the weight of their price tag can put unnecessary pressure on them to perform, especially for Caicedo. We've seen that with Pogba, Hazard, Maguire and others where they can't justify their hefty price tag.


16.) 14 Aug 2023 14:40:26
Apologies Ed, i have recently read that due to Chelsea not competing in any eufa competition ffp doesn't effect them. Only the Premier league rules. John henry shouldn't play big money games i. e buying a club if he isn't willing to play by the big money rules. Simple, he cannot scrimp and steal players hoping to get a good deal when clearly so many other clubs are happy to give the selling clubs asking price. as you say ed, Moving on.

{Ed002's Note - FFP still applies to Chelsea, they are not exempt from it. P&S rules still apply but it is not related to transfer spending.}


17.) 14 Aug 2023 14:49:34
Really getting as bad as twitter on here, I’ve honestly never seen so much negativity on this site and that’s going back to when it was just a Rumours site.


18.) 14 Aug 2023 15:01:34
Nobody really knows what Lavia wants and in any case people can change their minds.
From a basic view surely he’ll get more game time with LFC. Caicedo has arrived at Chelsea and they play with 5 at the back leaving less space for midfielders?
We haven’t got an out and out defensive midfielder and will be playing more games due to European competition.
Maybe he was in london to chat with both parties, Liverpool and Chelsea and hasn’t made his mind up yet.
All of the click bait on other sites is tedious and the negativity and sniping on here is equally tedious.


19.) 14 Aug 2023 15:01:51
The sooner human cloning is allowed, the better. I'll order a Mascherano straight to L4.

Todd B has won this battle, no doubt. Seriously though, this could means curtains for FSG's model, at least as a regular top 4 contender.


20.) 14 Aug 2023 17:10:50
Stuie, we are returning with our tails between our legs as we’re essentially admitting that we had lowballed them by going so far over our initial offer, after having completely walked away from it to chase Caicedo, that couldn’t be a clearer case of it. The fact it’s likely to end in failure is another huge embarrassment and symptomatic of a club in disarray. Well run club eh? Doesn’t look like it.


21.) 14 Aug 2023 17:18:59
If Lavia wanted to sign for us he would be in Liverpool now having a medical. As it is he is instead adding Caicedo to his list of Instagram followers and waiting of Chelsea to have a bid for him accepted.

Hi all, I'm just wondering if Ali was at Wembley on Sunday? Didn't see him in any of the celebrations so is his injury a lot worse than I thought? We know Thiago is done for the season hence he wasn't there but I thought Ali would be around if possible.

Tosh1966

1.) 27 Feb 2024 20:05:19
I didn't see him either mate.


2.) 27 Feb 2024 20:31:49
Maybe given some time at home? I didn't see him either but with him not playing a minute in the tournament maybe he didn't really have a connection to the vicotry, so a perfect time to spend some time in Brazil.


3.) 27 Feb 2024 20:50:49
I would have thought that all the players would be there?‍♂️.


4.) 27 Feb 2024 21:06:19
I thought I saw him, tho. Prolly a mirage.


5.) 27 Feb 2024 21:57:27
I didn’t see him either. Said the other week it feels like there’s more going on there than meets the eye.

Having said that I didn’t see Jota either but his injury was fairly serious so you wouldn’t want him hurdling the seats like Dom and Darwin!

I can’t shake this feeling about Ali though, I hope I’m wrong but it just seems like something’s not right.


6.) 27 Feb 2024 23:28:39
I saw Ali, he was dancing with the team in the dressing room aafter the game it was in a video I was sent . don't think there is strange or dodge about Ali .


7.) 28 Feb 2024 01:39:11
If Thiago is out for the rest of the season, he'll have picked up close to £15 million since he last played minus his brief cameo. Ludicrous amounts.


8.) 28 Feb 2024 03:44:12
Love watching Thiago in action but he's got to go down as the biggest waste of money since, um, Naby Keita.


9.) 28 Feb 2024 05:20:16
Anyone think Thiago isn’t pushing himself to play so he’s fit for his move in the summer? Or is he just made of crisps.


10.) 28 Feb 2024 06:06:10
Thiago is just made of crisps. He doesn't seem like the type that will refuse to play just so he can secure a move elsewhere.

{Ed025's Note - i think its just a fact of life that when you have the sort of wealth and lifestyle players have these days motivation wanes Drac, it gets harder to run your socks off every day especially when you are in the latter years of your career mate..


11.) 28 Feb 2024 08:43:22
I saw Allison during the game, he was wearing a Kelleher mask and playing in goal!


12.) 28 Feb 2024 08:59:25
Nice one, @Kop that. Prolly not enuff room on the bench so he had to go sit in the stands. Wouldn't put it past him esp. being the humble and supportive guy that he is.


13.) 28 Feb 2024 09:42:25
I don’t understand all the Thiago loving on here. Yes, I was pleased with the signing and yes I recognise his ability. Let’s face though even when fit does he really improve the starting 11? He was awful as a 6 and established himself in the Jones role however, he is nowhere near as effective as Jones.

Jones to me offers pace, better pressing, less press resistant and able to carry the ball better.
In my opinion, his injury might actually be a blessing in disguise as it has given the youngsters an opportunity, that he would essentially be blocking.

I am not trying to be negative or controversial, as he is a brilliant player, but he is just the wrong fit and not the profile of midfielder we need to thrive on the Klopp setup.


14.) 28 Feb 2024 11:34:13
I'm with Todd. Great player but I was surprised when we signed him. I got the theory behind it but it never really worked. Disastrous as a 6 and in the few games he has managed to play for us I suspect he contributed to more opposition goals with sloppy/ slow play in the middle than he did Liverpool goals.

I think he is a great player but he is a bad fit for this Liverpool team. Fully fit he still wouldn't get in it.

What I do hope is that he has inspired and helped the young players like Jones, Elliot, McConnell and Clark. To be able to play and train around him and learn from somebody like him is priceless. This is probably a more valuable contribution to the club than anything he could do on the pitch.


15.) 28 Feb 2024 11:47:00
I agree MOT, Thiago does not improve the starting 11 now but I think we are in desperate need of more bodies in midfield. He will be a useful player to bring off the bench for 20 minutes to give one of our other midfielders a rest or playing in a lesser game when we want to rotate. I don't see him contributing any more than that this season, if he even gets fit that is.


16.) 28 Feb 2024 09:45:46
You're right Ed025. That's the way it is. Not that blame has to be placed anywhere, but if it has to be done then it's to be placed on both player and club. The player's injury record was no secret to anyone, and there was no need to be "overawed" by his skills, and diving into such a transaction. Hindsight, I guess.

{Ed025's Note - very much so ArAy, it just never worked out mate like lots of transfers mate..


17.) 28 Feb 2024 16:22:24
Okay so, multiple things can be correct at the same time here. I love Thiago to death. His ability as a footballer is not in question and he did his bit to help us win trohphies during the Quad-chasing season or get top 4 in that dreadful 20/ 21 season when he was fully fit on both occasions. Anyone saying he did not improve us during the runs he had in the team is talking porkies and has a short memory cos we all know how lyrical these same people were waxing about him.

Now this is not for those who had doubts about him coming in BUT I can remember people myself included, licking their lips when we sigh-ned him, saying they might as well give us the title before a ball was kicked. ANyone remember his debut at Chelsea where he bossed the whole second half? Please, let's tone it down a bit with the revisionist history, IMO.

Now it is also true that every man and his dog on here (including the club who signed him) knew he had fitness issues so again, I find it weird that people are complaining about his injury issues whereas as if we all didn't know what the deal was at the time. That's again, revisionist history, IMO.

IMO and at the end of the day, Thiago is been finished at LFC and that much is clear and Im disappointed even tho, I've been over it for months now BUT let's not start acting as if he was a waste of space who offered absolutely nothing like Naby for ex. was, when fit and playing regularly cos that is NOT true and the receipts are there to prove it.


18.) 28 Feb 2024 17:10:19
But Oli if you are saying Keita offered nothing then you have to say the same about Thiago.

When fit Keita had some brilliant games for us (Utd away and City in the FA Cup spring to mind) but overall was a poor signing. The same is true for Thiago.

People will try to tell you it’s a coincidence but after he got injured last season we went on an unbeaten run until the end of the season. There’s more to it than just Thiago of course but him not being in our midfield made us a better team I don’t think there’s any doubt about that.

He’s a great player, just not a great player for us.


19.) 28 Feb 2024 17:39:13
Thiago certainly splits opinion.

Some fans seem to not rate him at all and some managers like Pep, Ancelotti, Heynckes, Flick and Klopp seem to think he was worth picking.


20.) 28 Feb 2024 22:02:30
I don’t have any proof but it seems to me like Thiago wanted to be a part of the team and wanted / wants to play. I think on the other hand that Naby has an arrow somewhere that reads ‘show me the money’. I think in a few years he will be remembered in the ‘what could have been’ lists (a bit like Jari Litmanen) .


21.) 28 Feb 2024 22:17:21
JK, did he have the same injury record with those managers as he did with Klopp? I suspect it has been the worst with us. That seems to be the main gripe everyone has with the likes of Thiago and Keita. Nobody really questions their talent or footballing skils. After all managers and recruiters are not blind. But the point is you don't hand a 5 year contract to someone who is going to perform for only a year or so. Some seem to think that's alright (see above), but I don't go along with that.


22.) 28 Feb 2024 22:44:43
That’s the thing though Aray on the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter what you or I do or don’t go along with.

Those managers clearly rated Thiago as a player even if some fans don’t and were part of the decisions to put him on large contracts and select him for games.

I don’t think his signing has been a success here but absolutely loved watching him live when he did play. Greatest shame is he didn’t play more.

The Thiago Liverpool chapter will be coming to its close though in the next few months.


23.) 29 Feb 2024 00:58:47
Endo is more effective than Thiago, but has half the ability.

Sometimes a player just isn’t a good fit.

I always thought Thiago was trying to be a bit too clever. Too many 1 touch passes, too many no look passes.

Sometimes you just play the simple game well.


24.) 29 Feb 2024 04:02:05
I don't remember Thiago 'not fitting in' when he was a key member of the quadruple chasing team. When fit, he fit the team. People are just making things up because everyone has to run their own narrative now.


25.) 29 Feb 2024 12:26:10
Imagine Being Us, my sentiments exactly.

@Beckers, I will NEVER in this lifetime equate the same level of uselessness that Naby had, to Thiago or even Ox.

Why? Ox and Thiago actually cared and played like it whenever they played. Naby could not be arsed to keep himself fit for near ALL 5 years he was here. That is a fact and keep in mind that Naby has been reported on here by both Ed's 01 and 02 being a problem in the DR, attitude issues and driving w/ o a license. Did Thiago or even Ox ever do that?

"When fit Keita had some brilliant games for us". Oh please, those are aberrations and he was here for 5 years, 4 of which he barely played cos he as injured. If you want to compare the impact Naby had to Thiago when they played then, you are fooling yourself.

Please, you are free to put Thiago (a boss player with inherent fitness issues we ALL knew about before he signed), to an absolute waster of a player in Naby who literally stopped trying as soon as he signed for us cos he thought he had made it. Just don't ask me to do such nonsense cos that AIN'T going to happen in this lifetime. Or the next 3 lifetimes.

Evening to all. Firstly I am a long time supporter of 50 years so have seen the very good times and the very bad. I am not a doom merchant and believe the club are under great management both on and off the pitch. The squad we have assembled has proved to be the best in the land over the last couple of years and will no doubt prove similar again over the coming months. I read and hear a lot about planning for the future, the squad will inevitably age and we will also lose some players through a natural desire to move on or be moved on. On that basis I do worry slightly that we are considering selling the likes of Brewster who is a fantastic prospect and will surely only get better playing alongside Firmino, Salah, Mane and under Klopp! We have no funds for transfers so surely we need to blood some of these prospects rather than giving up on them? Would any fee we get really buy us someone better than Brewster?

Tosh1966

1.) 08 Sep 2020 19:17:58
These are strange times,

We are still building our commercial operations so thar we become one of the real powerhouses in European football.

Under Klopp and FSG we need to beat United on the commercial level as well as on the pitch.

We will get there all being well and the foundations for the future success of LFC will have been laid.

In the future Klopp may well be regarded as the new
Shankly.

Klopp will build a new young side in the next few years.

Klopp and FSG are building something pretty special.


2.) 08 Sep 2020 19:23:16
I'm not sure how serious that rumour is. I've read that Brewster doesn't play like Firmino, consequently affecting the play of Salah and Mané too. But then I thought that was the whole point, wasn't it? To have a foil and a different approach to how the front 3 play? Edwards may be protecting himself with a buy back option, but it still doesn't make sense to me.


3.) 08 Sep 2020 19:26:15
I personally think he should be given a chance to back up Firmino. I know he is a different player but he is not just a fox in the box in my opinion and i think he can adapt.

However, if Klopp thinks he isn't good enough or simply won't work in any variation of our system, it's better off he leaves. People say that he could have a great season and double his value, but he could just as easily rupture his ACL again and be finished at the highest level.

I get the impression Klopp prefers Origi, Minamino and Ox as options to the front 3. So Brewster should be allowed to move for a reasonable fee. If we want to attract the best youngsters going forward, we have to be seen to be making the best decisions for their careers, and not hoarding them as cash cows to try and turn someone's career into a selfish profit.


4.) 08 Sep 2020 19:31:03
OP if the club think Brewster cannot adapt his game good enuff to step in/ start effectively when Firmino is out of the team the, what is the point of keeping him, really?

Like you, I want Brewster to stay and play for LFC but it does not matter what I want. It is what is best for the kid that is more important and if it is for him to go play somewhere else then so be it. There is no point keeping him here if he knows he won't get game time whereas there are clubs ready to take him and give him the game time needed to have a good career. It is not what I want BUT realities dictate otherwise. Just my take.


 

 

25 Feb 2020 11:47:29
Morning all,
I've followed this site for many years and often (in the past) seen posts of how we've "missed out on another signing" and "we've been too slow to buy player X" etc. I have also been guilty of such thoughts but is there a particular player that with hindsight we are relieved to have missed out on/ dodged a bullet? For me the most recent was Alexis Sanchez, I was one of the many who thought he was an ideal replacement for Suarez and was gutted he chose Arsenal but now I'm relieved we didn't get him. Interested to hear others.

Tosh1966

1.) 25 Feb 2020 13:02:05
I think he was quite good when he was at Arsenal. I liked him a lot, but that before he joined United.

Can't think of anyone for now though.


2.) 25 Feb 2020 13:48:00
Mate there's loads.


3.) 25 Feb 2020 14:43:12
I'm sure lots of them Salah mate. I just couldn't think of any. My mind just think about Alisson, Trent, Robertson, Van Dijk, and so on so on.


4.) 25 Feb 2020 17:31:19
A long time ago mid 90s Fabrizio Ravanelli, thinks that's the correct spelling went to Middlesbrough instead of us ended up scoring something like 30 and got relegated.
Often wondered if we would have won the league with him that season.


5.) 25 Feb 2020 18:00:08
Phil Jones is one that I always remember thinking it was awful that he chose United over Liverpool.

Praise Jebus we missed out on him.


6.) 25 Feb 2020 18:27:34
I still think Alexis Sanchez would have been a superb signing for us. He was one of the best players in the Premier League for 3 seasons.


7.) 25 Feb 2020 19:13:21
negative red Walter

I totally agree about Phil Jones. we certainly dodged a bullet there.


8.) 25 Feb 2020 21:39:57

9.) 26 Feb 2020 01:15:30
kinda long time ago, but Batistuta, not even sure if there was any truth but there were rumours and i was just a kid, but i loved watching him so much, still the player id name when asked about my favourite player of all time.


10.) 26 Feb 2020 07:32:50
Kaizer, Batigol were no rumours, man. He was actually interested in coming to us.


11.) 26 Feb 2020 09:02:04
For the record Sanchez rejected us. We weren’t too late. His wife wanted to live in London. I don’t think any Arsenal fan would say he wasn’t a brilliant signing.

In answer to your post. Dempsey for Henderson. Wasn’t the swap a potential bullet that never came off?


 

 

10 Sep 2019 16:35:05
Read a lot recently about JK ending his time with LFC when his current contract ends in 2022. A lot of people predicting the "natural successor" will be Stevie G but I personally think Xabi Alonso has a decent chance. I know Real Sociedad B are top of a "reserves" league but there are a lot of very positive comments about Xabi and his coaching.
Interested to know who would most peoples pick would be to replace JK if choosing now or for 2022 based on current potential?

Tosh1966

1.) 10 Sep 2019 16:42:34
If Lucien Favre was younger, I would've liked us to consider him a top candidate. As it is, Julian Nagelsmann would be my pick.


2.) 10 Sep 2019 16:42:38
Xabi was always the one who looked like he’d make a great coach/ manager.
Reina would always ask him about the opposition penalty takers etc as Xabi had files on all the players!


3.) 10 Sep 2019 16:55:23
That was Xavi Valero not Xabi Alonso! He was the goalkeeping coach.


4.) 10 Sep 2019 17:14:49
I always thought carra would have given it a go. I was told he had potential to be a brilliant manager might be a load of b*llocks but just what someone told me.

{Ed025's Note - yeah but if his team lost he would probably spit at his opposition manager instead of a handshake berg...dirty filthy animal..


5.) 10 Sep 2019 17:25:01
I don't think it'll be either Stevie nor Xabi unless they show that they have the same tactical style as our team currently plays. And by that I mean that they actually do it with their own teams for a couple of years.

I think that the club will not look to change the direction in tactical terms as to how we play and will bring in another manager with a decent record with the same way of playing as Klopp.

If someone really sees themselves as a future Liverpool manager, they should start adapting their style now to be in with a shot. At least they've got a deadline to work towards, whether Klopp takes a sabatical or not.

NRW. Please no. If we haven't won the league by then, the last thing we need is for someone to make us regress 10 years. Just look at the mess he left United in.

He might win the league but he'd sign a handful of expensive 30+ year olds to do it then leave when they can't hack it anymore.

Also what's the opinion on a return of raffa in 2022 if klopp does in fact take a sabbatical maybe he deserves a do over after reading ed1's article on the h&g days he could have won us the league if he got the players he asked for instead of the bargain basement oprions.


9.) 10 Sep 2019 17:59:44
It was pretty mingin ed. but your reply did make me laugh do you think Neville's flop in spain stopped any thoughts of carra going into management or was he never intrested.

{Ed025's Note - i think hes more suited to media work myself berg, im sure he would have options if he ever decided management was for him but i cant see it mate..

Jurgen will stay on as long as his wife and family are on board with it.

There is nowhere better for him and football is in his blood.

After Shanks and Bob we will have Jurgen.

Three of the best managers in the history of the game.

Enjoy the ride.

Plenty of time to come Klopp or kidnap his pets to get him to sign an extension.


12.) 10 Sep 2019 19:26:05
Clone Klopp*.


13.) 10 Sep 2019 20:00:28
He's just about reaching his half way mark. What's the hurry? I think it all depends on whether he achieves his goals or not. If he wins a couple of EPL titles then he's on course for his plan for a sabbatical. But if he doesn't win an EPL title or two then I would not be surprised with an extension for a year or two. Yes he's left his previous clubs after 7 years in the past, but we're not exactly robots that thrive on endless repetition of past activities.


14.) 10 Sep 2019 19:50:51
OP, Xabi Alonso like SG, are not ready to take up the job at LFC esp. at the level we are at now. This is no longer the "Let's give x manager a chance to prove himself" time at LFC anymore. That time ended when BR got the sack.

As for Carra, Ed25 is correct (not about the spitting part) BUT he too, is not ready and frankly, I think he would be a terrible manager so being a pundit (a genius after the fact, really) suits him just like his other loser of a manager next to him at Sly, Gary Neville.

Like Zpecialone said, Lucien Favre or Julian Naggelsmann would be my pick cos they play a near similar style to Klopp. Either way, I will just sit back and enjoy the time we have left with Good Ol' "Norbert" and hope he can win the league and get his statue at Anfield and then get the farewell a true legend deserves.


15.) 10 Sep 2019 20:12:04
Hard to pick now who might be a suitable as much will change in the next few years. Alonso and Gerrard would need to prove their capabilities in that time to be an option as currently it would be a big risk. Xabi is interesting to see how he might fare, seems to have a good football brain which is crucial.

I think Milner might make a good coach one day, is a strong voice in the dressing room, a model professional who works hard in every detail of preparation and his vast experience and knowledge of playing at the highest level in numerous positions under so many different managers each with different styles will have given him a good understanding of tactical ideas.


16.) 10 Sep 2019 20:40:17
I agree with one of the responses that it has to be someone who wants to play the same as we do now. If any of them truly want the LFC job when klopp goes, I'd love klopp to make it clear in a year, year and a half, that he will be leaving and whether it be Gerrard, Alonso or whoever else, worked as klopps assistant or shadow him rather, for a year and a half and then take the reigns from there, continuing what klopp has started. In an ideal world though I'd love klopp to sign til 2030.


17.) 10 Sep 2019 21:43:33
From Stevie g to alonso to Rafa! Get a grip for! I nvr want to see any near the club for at least 10 years and proven! Stevie f#%#%in G if he had balls he’d go the championship and see his worth if he thinks he’s anyright to manage us he’d want to wake up!


18.) 10 Sep 2019 22:18:04
Like all reds i was deeply in love with gerrard. But you have to be careful with sentiment when making big decisions. If we were a team aiming to finish 4th, europa league team i would be happy to give stevie the job. But as it stands (and things change) he hasn't proved himself to be one of the outstanding young managers in the game. I do think he'll get there and i would like him to manage us. If i had to choose now, i would pick poch from spurs. I think he's a great manager.


19.) 11 Sep 2019 04:18:54
Id rather be spat at than punched. Look, its not very nice but there's only so much abuse a man can take. Footballers live a privileged life but they take a lot of rubbish for just playing a game. Im not defending jamie for it, i just don't think it defines the man, that he spat at someone. I think hed make a great coach, but if he's making money without the stress then good for him. I quite like him and neville on sky, like the banter.


20.) 11 Sep 2019 09:03:57
Agreed Robbiesline. Being the main guy at a multi-million dollar business like a football club is no joke. If you're going to show thin skin and feel threatened enough by a child in a car, it shows a lot more beneath the surface. If you can't take the hot seat with poise and calm character, you don't belong there.


21.) 11 Sep 2019 09:25:10
Lol ed01😂
I wouldn’t mind having Valero back as gk coach either, Pepe wasn’t happy when he left.
Is he still with West Ham? I guess he’s worked with Adrian before.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know what he is doing right now but he was excellent.}


22.) 11 Sep 2019 10:20:50
Actually, we don't agree Robbiesline, LOL. Just read your comment again, LOL.


23.) 11 Sep 2019 10:44:44
In respect of Valero - I heard that his family still live in Merseyside and it was the reason he moved back to the UK with West Ham.


24.) 11 Sep 2019 11:58:53
This was gone over in another thread a few weeks back but still interesting. let's face it, we have tried to with both playing a managerial staff to give upcoming talent/ potential a chance to succeed on the big stage and it hasn't worked. When we buy/ employ proven quality and winners? Guess what we're back in the big time and were narrowly beaten to the title by only 1 point by another quality side.

However comes in when JK leaves, whenever that may be, absolutely must be proven winner of the highest quality. Im talking winning big competitions. a lot can chnage in 3 years though and its difficult to name names ATM as honestly I wouldn't swap Klopp for anyone. I certainly can't see SG being the man to take over though.


25.) 11 Sep 2019 12:51:26
In a couple years time, let's play devil's advocate and assume that Klopp leaves a club that is at its peaking and competing on all four fronts. Doesn't sound like a project, but more like a perfect situation for an experienced manager to come in and keep things moving. arise Jose Mourinho. :)


26.) 11 Sep 2019 12:42:20
(Ed025's Note - yeah but if his team lost he would probably spit at his opposition manager instead of a handshake berg. dirty filthy animal. )

It would just go to show Ed, no matter how hard LFC tried and how long he played for LFC, Carra always kept that little bit of Bitters deep inside him.

Tally Ho.

{Ed025's Note - it would not matter to me if he was an evertonian, liverpudlian or a mongolian petro chemist polecat, spitting is deplorable and the most insulting act any human being can do to another, in fact i would rather be punched in the kipper than spat at mate, i happened to like carra actually because he was a local lad done well and i like that, but you can take the lad out the gutter but you cant take the gutter out of the lad unfortunately..

We need answers! LMAO
Liverpool made accepted offers for 2 players who as it turns out want to play for another club. If it was the other way around you’d be crowing like a cockerel in a hen house. It happens so get over it put away your pitchforks and dismantle your guillotine. It’s football not life or death, if we finish 4th or 10th enjoy the good days, stop the arrogance and support your team like some of us have through good times and bad.

Looking back over the first half of this season I noticed Some of Nunez's best games, goals and assists have come when he has been on the right side of our attack! 2 goals v Newcastle stand out and assists for Salah. Possible option for when Mo is at AFCON?

Trust Rafa! The same guy who forced Alonso out because he thought Gareth, Barry was better?

Do we know if there are here further plans to develop the stadium and increase the capacity? Will the Kop end be next?

Maybe i'm getting confused in my old age but didn't we come very close to buying Bowyer? Not sure when it was or which manager was in place at the time but I for one am glad we didn't. Horrible individual.
