Do any of the Ed's think that mr Slot will look at Feyenoord players see Geertruida was in the away end yesterday and previously been linked with Hancko,
{Ed002's Note - Hancko has been of interest - a good van Dijk replacement.}
1.) 28 Apr 2024 21:17:54
Ed, are you suggesting Virgil will move on?
{Ed002's Note - At some point he will.}
2.) 28 Apr 2024 22:37:34
Brilliant shout both hanko and geertruida can play left, right back and centre back I really hope that happens.
3.) 29 Apr 2024 04:06:23
Geertruida would be a great versatile addition, don’t know as much about Hancko but if 002 rates him then he must be decent.
I would like to see Kudus added too, and maybe the kid from Porto (Varela)
4.) 29 Apr 2024 08:29:17
Hancko is slower than Nat Phillips. You need speed to play at CB in the PL.
5.) 29 Apr 2024 10:26:26
Virgil is 33 now unbelievably.
26 Apr 2024 21:08:45
Rumours around today about Allison wanting to leave can any of the Ed's confirm this. I hope it's not true and don't think kelleher is the answer if he does go.
1.) 26 Apr 2024 21:31:19
Can’t see where he’d go to? All the top teams have a top class keeper.
2.) 26 Apr 2024 21:40:29
The Middle East Perhaps? I hope he is staying, nearly impossible to replace.
3.) 26 Apr 2024 21:41:58
I did mention a few months back per a conversation with some lads in the cafe he wanted to go to Munich.
4.) 26 Apr 2024 22:25:57
Manuel Neuer ain’t going anywhere Walter.
5.) 26 Apr 2024 22:35:11
Tbf nueur is 38, and Bayern may not have a better chance to replace him.
6.) 26 Apr 2024 23:23:50
1860 need a keeper.
7.) 27 Apr 2024 00:09:12
Welcome to the Colorado Rapids Allison!
8.) 27 Apr 2024 00:38:28
Hope not, best keeper in prem.
9.) 27 Apr 2024 01:23:18
If only Allison kept the goal as well as he keep his gold.
10.) 27 Apr 2024 02:58:22
He just bought a new house in Liverpool. didn't we just have this conversation?
11.) 27 Apr 2024 03:09:51
He's not going anywhere mate, rumours there just to cause a fuss, all media nonsense and clickbait bullsh*t. I hope.
12.) 27 Apr 2024 10:59:17
It's just people trying to push the narrative of a disaster scenario for Liverpool.
Allison, Salah, Nunez, Klopp, Diaz, everyone is leaving, including the This is Anfield sign and the Tea lady.
13.) 27 Apr 2024 23:18:19
@hsf, Klopp aside I think one or two others you mention might well leave too. It only becomes a problem if the players are replaced either from within or by buying. We sold / let go of Keita, Milner, Fabinho, Henderson and Firmino last summer and - events catching up with the squad after Klopp’s announcement notwithstanding - we are in a very strong position compared to 89 of the other 91 teams in the Football League. It’s not the losing players that’s the problem / worry, it’s ensuring that the replacements are fit for purpose.
14.) 28 Apr 2024 09:17:10
At least three of those are leaving HSF?
Klopp and Salah for certain.
And almost as certain that either Diaz or Nunez will go too.
10 Aug 2023 09:39:35
Inacio for 40m surely we can activate that.
{Ed002's Note - I would rather doubt it.}
1.) 10 Aug 2023 10:10:11
Hi Ed002, I’m reading that Klopp is thinking of quitting this season. Is there any truth in this?
{Ed002's Note - He does not strike me as someone who would simply walk away. I do not think Liverpool are planning on finding a replacement - what is Super Stevie Nicol up to at the moment?}
2.) 10 Aug 2023 10:17:19
Behave. You are not allowed nice things, YorksRed.
3.) 10 Aug 2023 10:32:08
Wouldn't blame him if did. He could literally walk in to any BIG club. Something seems really wrong here currently.
4.) 10 Aug 2023 10:53:33
Once again that would be far too sensible. I think we suddenly decided we don’t need a centre back after Levi Colwill took out a restraining order.
5.) 10 Aug 2023 12:05:25
perhaps Klopp will walk before he finally gets banned for tapping up one too many . . .
23 Jul 2023 21:22:55
Can any of the Ed's confirm would we be able to buy both Doucoure and Lavia. Or is it one from the mentioned.
{Ed002's Note - It would be one.}
20 May 2023 23:32:55
Have we bid for Khephren Thurman as rumours going around can any of the Ed's confirm.
{Ed002's Note - I have explained he is in talks with another side - try searching.}
1.) 23 May 2023 07:52:13
Hi Ed, any ideas if we are still interested or is he no longer looking a preferred target? He’s definitely something we have been missing since Gini left and Keita and co haven’t stepped up yet. Is it another premier league side interested/ in talks.
{Ed002's Note - I have explained he is in talks with another side - try searching.}

With the likes of matip, Tiago, and maybe Salah and a few more must be saving some on wages there. I'm looking forward to what happens in the summer. New manager different approach ynwa.
1.) 19 Apr 2024 11:58:54
Lets not forget Klopps wage (est 15 mill a year) will also be off the books.
With all of those wages saved I'm glad to see that next seasons ticket prices have gone up and I'm like a kid at Christmas waiting to see what next seasons inflated kit prices will be in the store.
And before FSG's fan club come to their rescue this is tongue in cheek aimed at all Football clubs not just ours.
I'd imagine they would pipe up if FSG announced they were investing in measures against streaming football games.
2.) 19 Apr 2024 12:22:02
I'm glad Michael Edwards is back because, bar a couple of exceptions, it feels like the standard of player we have been bringing in isn't what it was 2016-21. In addition, it feels like Klopp isn't really enhancing individuals' games anymore which is what he was known for. Diaz, Nunez, Gakpo, Szoboszlai, Elliott, Gravenberch haven't taken off like we would have hoped. I used to say that Klopp could turn water into wine. I think it is a combination of both recruitment and Klopp losing their touch a bit.
433 also feels incredibly stale now. The midfield isn't working as hard as it used to and the full-backs aren't providing the same width and overlapping runs. You also need quick, explosive wingers who are a goal-threat for it to work well. I don't think we have those players anymore and I don't think there are many wingers like that on the market. The era of Messi, Ronaldo, Salah, Mane, Robben, Ribery, Neymar, Bale, Hazard, Reus, Sanchez, Son and others seems to be at an end for whatever reason. In fact, the calibre of footballer seems to be generally down. I feel a switch to 4222 or 4231 where we play with attacking midfielders could be beneficial to some of our players like Szoboszlai, Elliott, even Clark and Carvalho. There's also some potentially decent options on the market over the next couple of years like Wirtz and Kubo.
3.) 19 Apr 2024 12:58:15
@Jk
And I have seen the same fans selling their tickets for £200 to a tourist. Inflation is at what, 8% globally and so does everything goes up mate. the world is about to end soon lol.
4.) 19 Apr 2024 12:50:18
Some big decisions for the club and players to make over the summer.
Salah future needs resolving.
Virgil and Trent contracts need renewing.
Matip needs replacing.
Kelleher and Tsimikas likely to move on and need replalcing.
Salah would need replacing if he does go.
Diaz rumours not going away. Would need replacing if he does go.
We still need a defensive midfielder.
That's potentially 6 changes in senior playing staff.
And then it will be interesting to see what the new technical staff will think of Endo, Gravenberch and Gakpo.
5.) 19 Apr 2024 13:14:59
YorksRed - I agree up to a point but I'm cautious of throwing the baby out with the bath water. If it's all change this summer and a new manager who wants to go and sign half a dozen new first team players, my concern would be that it would take us back before we go forward again.
With a team that has come close (and could still win) the league this season and with a number of players who we might feel frustrated with right now but who we were thrilled about earlier in the season, plus many of them being young still, I don't know that we need more than a couple of new first team players.
For me, one of the requirements of the new manager will be to get the best out of Szoboszlai and Gakpo, to get Nunez performing consistently, to continue the development of Quansah, Bradley, Clark and Danns, to have a plan to reintroduce Bajcetic, a plan for how to best use Trent and a succession plan for Salah.
6.) 19 Apr 2024 13:26:54
If we get a new manager will we be paying him magic beans?
I imagine that the staff / player salary will be more than this season - it seems an economic inevitability.
7.) 19 Apr 2024 13:41:53
Wdw I’ll put £20 on it it’s not.
8.) 19 Apr 2024 14:03:52
Babbitt, I agree with this comment from your more than any comment I've read on here this week, a major factor in our faltering season for me
"Klopp isn't really enhancing individuals' games anymore which is what he was known for. Diaz, Nunez, Gakpo, Szoboszlai, Elliott, Gravenberch haven't taken off like we would have hoped". You could argue all have regressed this season or since they came in, that's the biggest worry.
9.) 19 Apr 2024 14:20:17
@JK, I knew you'd be all over a 'wages' post, brilliant ????.
10.) 19 Apr 2024 14:36:52
McGoveb I don’t know why any fan of any football club would be for, rising ticket costs.
You only have to look at tickets in other countries (Germany prime example) to see you don’t have to price fans out of watching games lives.
But I suppose for the supporters it doesn’t effect then Why should they care.
11.) 19 Apr 2024 18:27:37
We could bring in a lot of money from sales too. Kelleher will probably move on to be first choice we can replace him with Jaros or one of the Eds mentioned Patterson from Sunderland.
Tsimikas I think may move on. Robertson Gomez and Beck all able to play LB Gakpo Gravenberch Diaz Nunez we’d surely listen to offers for then some youngsters like Carvalho and Morton would bring in good money too. I think we should be extending Salah Alisson Trent and VVD. Bringing in a CB midfielder and two forwards to all go in the starting 11.
12.) 20 Apr 2024 00:01:17
@JK23. We’ll get rid of a big earner in Thiago and a medium wage earner in Matip and possibly a high earner in Salah.
Given any new manager will want his squad so say two or three big names on reasonable length contracts sort of cancels out the two or three ‘bigger earners’ mentioned above and any new contracts will almost inevitably cost more.
Not sure what JK earns but our next manager is going to want a fair amount too. Also, I suspect some of the youngsters will be pushing for ‘better’ contracts now that they have had ‘breakthrough’ season.
I’d say that we are a reasonable chance to have a higher wage bill.
13.) 20 Apr 2024 07:07:41
Wdw you might be right mate but personally I can’t see us signing players and putting them onto Thiago and Salah kind wages or even the manager on Klopp ones.
When I said £20 wager. I wanted to add as in a friendly bet to a charity of our choosing.
Klopp is the 3rd highest paid manager in the world with online reports saying 15-16 mill and Amorim reported as 2.15 mill a year.
If true even if the club doubled Amorims wages that’s still a huge saving.
Yes it might not be Amorim but that’s the manager we are being linked to and are not currently being linked with any of the managers in the top 10 earners.
We still have players like Kelleher, Jones and Elliot on their original low contracts so I can’t imagine any of the breakthrough players this season holding FSG to the fire to have theirs improved.
Anyways my main point in the original post was to sarcastically point out that it’s going to cost match day going fans more next season despite record profit, sponsorship and attendances etc.
For people who stream the game for free then it doesn’t matter ever who we sign or what wages we pay because free stays free.
Anyways if you would like to have a friendly bet over it let me know your charity of choice and I can ask Ed next time I’m on live chat how we can sort a payment.
14.) 20 Apr 2024 10:40:59
I think that the Thiago wage was too much when agreed but that was a few years ago and has been by-passed (for top level players at least) in the intervening years.
I’m not saying I’m happy with the wage bill getting ever bigger or that I even think we should be paying what we will undoubtedly have to pay. But the increase in wages for players and fees for the parasite agents is inevitable if we want to stay in the elite group in world football.
15.) 20 Apr 2024 12:39:39
Wdw I wasn’t intending to say that you were implying you were happy with the wages.
Was a to and fro of different opinions. I only asked if you fancied £20 as im confident and skint and if I list I’d just change my user name like the SF Redmeister that used to troll these pages.
But in all seriousness we’ll say let’s stick a pint on it.
I have no issues with player wages as they have zero effect on us fans.
If I pay £60 for my ticket next season with this current squad then it’s £59.
If the club decides to sell 3 of our best players and replace with lesser players then I’m still paying £60 a ticket. Although wages are blamed on wages they actually have no relevance.
If we could afford (guesstimate) 2.7 mill in wages a week with 47 thousand fans jn the crowd then surely now with 61 thousand in there that should bring in extra revenue for the same wage bill paid prior.
12 Aug 2023 22:06:01
Do you think our relationship with Brighton has been soured this week or grown has there been much dialogue between the two?
1.) 12 Aug 2023 22:56:38
Why would it be soured?
2.) 12 Aug 2023 23:44:32
Both clubs in the right here. We all good.
3.) 13 Aug 2023 09:03:16
Caicedo is the only one who has a soured relationship with Brighton out of this.
10 Aug 2023 20:30:13
I've heard Caicedo Is heading to Blackpool for a meeting.
1.) 10 Aug 2023 20:52:28
That one not only expired 5 years ago, but has fungus, milldew and toadstool all over it.
2.) 10 Aug 2023 21:00:52
Blackpool? They don’t have that sort of money.
3.) 10 Aug 2023 21:13:46
Agent alexis?
4.) 10 Aug 2023 22:21:09
Is Blackpool the only place on earth we are allowed to meet players at, suddenly?
{Ed025's Note - seems like it Oli, you could say you are stuck between a stick of rock and a hard place mate.. :)
5.) 10 Aug 2023 23:30:29
I guess so, ED25.
6.) 10 Aug 2023 23:31:13
Pier group pressure, Dhfc.
I'm not sure whether it's the North, South or Central one though.
24 Jul 2023 13:47:48
How bad is Matip playing he can’t be a back up this season surely.
1.) 24 Jul 2023 14:06:11
OP, it's preseason. Relax.
2.) 24 Jul 2023 14:06:50
Gomez not much better either. Thankfully it's only a pre season friendly.
3.) 24 Jul 2023 14:14:54
Olired, So if they are bad vs poor teams during a pre season you are not concerned because it's not a league game. What's makes you think they will improve massively to face even better opponents? The defence is not good enough and they need to fix it before the season starts.
4.) 24 Jul 2023 14:17:36
You can tell its a pre-season friendly by the fact Adrian is in goal.
Defence does look sloppy in both matches so far and Gomez, Matip, and Kostas are doing nothing to change Klopp's mind that they are squad players.
Nunez Once again looked sharp 2 goals, 1 assist and hopefully he can carry on this form when it really matters.
5.) 24 Jul 2023 14:48:17
C0ffan, Im not concerned esp; not after the second preseason game where we played a bunch of kids in the second half. You are free to be concerned and write about it. Where's the beef?
6.) 24 Jul 2023 17:05:24
Exactly, kingkenny7. but with the way some on here are losing it, you would think Adrian (3rd choice, btw) will be the starting GK vs Chelsea.
7.) 24 Jul 2023 17:34:37
Oli - there is no beef. But you defend the team/ reply all posters that have a concern about our team.
I don't care about the result in a friendly as well but leaking goals and don't seem to know how to fix our problem from last season is going to hunt us.
8.) 24 Jul 2023 18:41:24
@COffan, all fans of the club have concerns about the club - if they didn’t have concerns about the club then you could probably say they weren’t actually fans.
Here’s. A (rhetorical) question for you. Without looking it up, who did we play in our second pre-season friendly lat year and the year before and what were the scores? Pre-season isn’t about winning - it’s about getting players into the correct mental and physical state to win when the games start to matter. We need to get ready to win when the league begins and at that point we need to win our first game at Chelsea.
As fans we all want the same thing - to win the PL and CL every year that is worth being concerned about. Getting players fit and ready to try and win things is the most important thing at this time of year and, oddly, the club finding out current players limitations and flaws in the systems we intend to play are the best results we can get at this time of the year as it gives us the chance to set targets and work on things. As an example, Baj and Okey (Doak - geddit) showed up at last year’s pre-season and started to make a name for themselves - that was a lot more important for the future of the club than the results of last season’s pre-season friendlies.
9.) 24 Jul 2023 21:31:24
Lots of bedsheets being changed tonight.
10.) 24 Jul 2023 23:38:33
WDW - I can't recall the teams we faced, apart from Leipzig, but I remember seeing the same tendencies we witnessed throughout the entire season. The defense was shaky and didn't seem as comfortable as seasons before. Additionally, Fabinho and Henderson had their worst season with us, which didn't provide much help or protection for the defenders.
As I mentioned earlier, I don't care whether we win or lose, but I see exactly the same patterns as last year. There are too many mistakes from defenders who can't position themselves properly, don't know when to press or drop back to cover.
I know Klopp is searching for reinforcements, but if we want to build a cohesive team and have them ready to play for PL, wouldn't it be better to have them in the squad now rather then later?
11.) 25 Jul 2023 03:46:23
Don’t be silly COffan, it’s much better if we buy another three or four players a couple of days our first PL match - surely that make it far more exciting?
28 May 2023 23:01:20
Guerreiro On a free anybody would push Robbo.
1.) 28 May 2023 23:16:42
He's nearly 30 mate. Doesn't really make sense in my opinion unless Robbo leaves.
2.) 29 May 2023 06:08:04
MK, I think he will be a good backup to have in case Kostas leaves. Can play MF and wing too.
3.) 29 May 2023 06:30:53
I don't think we need to look at an LB unless both Robbo and Tsimikas leaves. We have Chambers coming back who can play on the wing and in CB too. Seems like a good fit, especially if we are playing Trent as an inverted full-back.
We have a bloated squad now and we should be looking into trimming it instead of adding to it. Although, it is helped with the departures of Ox, Keita, Milner, Arthur, and Firmino.
4.) 29 May 2023 10:10:01
We have TAA, Bradley, Ramsey and Gomez for the right and Robbo, Tsimi, Chambers and Beck for the left. There are other priorities like the midfield and centre of defence.
26 Jul 2023 19:59:48
Truly awful defender.
25 May 2023 21:11:37
Ed what would you’re choice be from those we have looked at thanks in advance.
{Ed001's Note - we don't need a right back.}
11 Apr 2023 21:34:10
I’d probably go for McAllister and Barella
But we will end up with Berge and keita new deal.
