Crazy clickbait rumour I read, Ed001, that Salah will still be going to Saudi this summer in a £70m+ deal.
Is this just nonsense or are there any legs to it?
Can't even remember the site I read it on, but stating opinion rather than fact!
{Ed001's Note - I would be very surprised if he left.}
1.) 20 May 2025 11:08:50
He was genuinely made up to stay. He’s not going anywhere this summer.
2.) 20 May 2025 11:54:50
Would be pretty dumb to do a 20 minute interview with Gary Neville where you say you want to win the Champions League again with Liverpool only to entertain leaving 3 days later.
3.) 20 May 2025 12:15:46
Thanks Ed001, I was surprised to say the least!
4.) 20 May 2025 12:21:06
On current form, I'd snatch their hand off.
5.) 20 May 2025 12:33:21
Don’t be stupid Hardy.
Even the most myopic of fans can see the boys are deservedly in party mode having tied up the league with a month to go.
6.) 20 May 2025 12:59:47
Hardy I assume by current form you mean his most recent season where he was the leagues top scorer (or are you conveniently going to erase that part from your recent argument)?
7.) 20 May 2025 14:12:18
Hardy, Laurel misses you.
8.) 20 May 2025 14:26:07
Thankfully I don't see him going anywhere mate, it'd be a huge shock if he did. But no, he's here to see us win the league again next season - 100% going to happen.
9.) 20 May 2025 17:12:43
Hardy, don't be a doubting Thomas.
10.) 20 May 2025 17:20:37
More chance of Salah leaving this website than Salah going to Saudi this summer.
09 Apr 2025 15:03:26
OK, I've seen a few stories, albeit in tabloid sites, that we are competing with City to sign Florian Wirtz, price being estimated around €100m.
There will be a load of naysayers saying we won't spend that much. Fine, you have your view.
However, Eds, is there any mileage in this? Have we ever shown any interest in him?
Without wishing to increase the surgery that our squad needs, I've seen some posts saying Dom is being played out of position as a 10 when he is more of an 8 (not least as that's his shirt number! ) .
I'm intrigued why Slot doesn't therefore play Mac Allister in the 10 role and move Dom back, but there must be a reason.
I'd be made up if we went for Wirtz and a striker as he's up there with the best 10s in the world and still has more room to grow.
But it is City.
But there are 115 charges!
Ed, what's your view? Could we be in for him?
1.) 09 Apr 2025 15:34:27
Ed 02 did say RM wanted macca the summer after next so if that’s still on the cards it would give us a season of flexibility before the persons take another one off of us.
2.) 09 Apr 2025 16:34:00
I don't think Wirtz will leave Germany. Sadly.
3.) 09 Apr 2025 16:36:34
I read £100m rather than €100m but even so I think we would spend it on the right player. The question for me would be where a 10 would sit in the list of priorities. I doubt we would have £100m left over if other positions are deemed a higher priority.
Would love to see him in a Liverpool shirt but can't see it myself.
4.) 09 Apr 2025 16:55:45
Think ed said he wants to stay in Germany so bayern Munich is probably where he'll go.
5.) 09 Apr 2025 16:56:03
The two best players we could sign this summer would be Wirtz and Isak they’d both be about 120m both in positions we need to strengthen. I’d really love us to bring one in.
6.) 09 Apr 2025 17:26:00
Ah that's a shame about him wanting to stay in Germany, but understandable.
Although if he does go to Germany, I'm sure Grealish could be bought quite cheaply!
BTW, this is as much of joke as Grealish is!
7.) 09 Apr 2025 18:27:11
Dont know whether i'd pay £120m for a kid with 9 league goals in Germany, even though i do think he's a really good player.
17 Mar 2025 10:05:59
Ed001, you may rightly say take this to the Man City boards, but as Harry's here at the moment, they are a bit quiet!
I've always fancied Camavinga as being an awesome addition to our team (or any team for that matter) but I thought he was settled in Madrid.
A story today, albeit from Football Insider, says that Man City will have to stump up £70m to prise Camavinga from Madrid.
Are Madrid open to selling him? If so, it would be crazy for us not to be in the mix as he is as close to a perfect midfield addition for us - young (just turned 22) can play CM and CDM (so could rotate with Grav as well as in a more traditional CM role) and can offer backup at LB and CB.
Any whisperings that RM may be looking to let him go? And are we interested at all? I presume that if they are willing to deal, it would be him or Tchouameni but not both?
{Ed001's Note - they are willing to sell one or the other yes. They need to reduce their wage bill due to la liga's salary cap.}
1.) 17 Mar 2025 11:06:15
Thanks Ed001. Do you rate either as being good additions to our squad (or both)?
And separately, are you aware of us scouting either of them recently?
{Ed001's Note - i would take either but they don't fit what Slot was looking for.}
2.) 17 Mar 2025 12:22:47
Ed, maybe someone need to tell him that in England you need to have some bite in your midfield. You can't have all playmakers in you midfield. Your midfield will get bullied heavily like yesterday by the likes of Joelinton of all people. Even in history of EPL winning side, their midfield has someone to do the dirty work. Keane, Viera, Makalele, Kante and Rodri to name a few. Even Klopp side has prime Fabinho in it.
{Ed001's Note - to be fair we have managed to get away with it this season, but the rest won't be as bad next season.}
3.) 17 Mar 2025 12:52:25
I would hope we get in someone who can do both. I'd love to have either Camavinga or Tchouameni, both of whom have that bite but can also pass. My preference would be for Camavinga as he's younger, a bit quicker and left footed which may help balance in midfield (and defence if he is asked to fill in there)
4.) 17 Mar 2025 12:53:45
Camavinga has been very injury prone over the last 2 years, that’ll be why Madrid are quite happy to let him go and I’d hope we took that into account before looking at him. I think it is evident that we are a soft touch in midfield, personally would hope we went for someone like Ederson or Baleba to add some physicality, but just can’t see it happening.
5.) 17 Mar 2025 12:54:53
That is my thought. If we do win the league this year, we probably the only side that doesn't have someone in mold of the players I have mentioned in the starting lineup. I seriously can't think of any side in the last 10 years that have win the league that play without a Rodri kind of player in their starting lineup.
On that note ED, I don't know if you have watch much of Forest and Palace game this year. But what are your thought on Elliot Anderson and Wharton? Wharton is out injured for a long time I think. Both would be a good player to add to our midfield I would think. I doubt Slot would agree though.
{Ed001's Note - both are great players, Wharton has come back and lifted Palace. Anderson has been a key player for Forest all season. Both are playmakers too.}
6.) 17 Mar 2025 13:57:14
Klopp midfield of milner Hendo and wijnaldum was not creative at all and got slated for it. but what they did was work their socks off. tackle . generally horrible to play against . and just pass it to one of our front 3 to do the biz .
7.) 17 Mar 2025 14:19:24
You know if we have interest in both ED? I know Wharton has been really good since last season but Anderson, hasn't heard much about him last season. Even this season I don't see many peoples talk about him that much. When talking about Forest, most will talk about Murillo and Gibbs White.
{Ed001's Note - we were interested in Wharton prior to his injury, I would expect us to have maintained interest. Anderson was a surprise sale by Newcastle and I have no idea why we didn't jump in once it became known they had to sell for ffp purposes. I haven't heard of us showing any interest, though I think that is a mistake.}
8.) 17 Mar 2025 15:07:19
Ed001 (and others) just your view - would you pick Wharton (especially) or Anderson over Camavinga or Tchouameni? Everyone loves a foreign name (! ) but players already adjusted to the EPL as well as counting as HG surely have some upsides too!
{Ed001's Note - I would take Anderson first, Wharton would be on a par with those two for me. They are well adapted to the league which is a plus.}
9.) 17 Mar 2025 15:08:38
Not sure Grav and Szob are playmakers. In fact I’m not sure what does / has done in last 10-15 or so games. I’d have Endo sitting there in games where we need to win duals with Grav and Macca rotating and in games where we will have 70-80% possession then maybe Grav instead of Endo.
10.) 17 Mar 2025 15:19:17
I've seen basically none of Anderson and Wharton. What kind of players are they?
{Ed001's Note - Anderson is a similar type of hard running midfielder to Szob. Wharton is more of a playmaker. Both have a bit of bite though.}
11.) 17 Mar 2025 18:24:55
Camavinga is a bit of a show pony for me. I wouldn’t be certain he would be up to the cut and thrust of the PL and I would guess he wouldn’t want to come either, who knows ?♂️
I liked Wharton but he’s been injured a bit this season and gone under the radar but he’s the one I would like to see in a ref shirt.
12.) 17 Mar 2025 18:45:54
What u make of bergval of spurs ed1? I impressed by him of what I seen, don't think he what we be looking at as he v raw yet but he only 18 I think he can go on to be a v good player.
{Ed001's Note - not seen a lot of him other than rash challenges to be honest.}
13.) 17 Mar 2025 18:49:16
I think if nothing else yesterday proved how important TTA is to our side. His creativity from right back is so valuable to the way slot sets the team up more important than VVD and Salah can understand why RM want him he puts teams on the back foot as he starts an attack from defense.
14.) 17 Mar 2025 14:41:55
Camavinga is a brilliant player. His injuries are a concern though.
I think Real would prefer to keep him over Tchouameni who seems most likely to be moved on.
Given the choice, I would choose Baleba over Tchouameni. Only just, mind.
15.) 17 Mar 2025 14:45:16
MighyR3ds - there's no point comparing the 18-20 team to the current one. The game has moved on since then. The gegenpress has been met with the pressbait. You can't simply press the living daylights out of the Premier League and win it anymore. The fullback role has also changed a lot since we had Robbo/ Trent effectively doing most of our playmaking.
16.) 17 Mar 2025 20:27:02
It’s always the same. We play terribly and the players who are missing grow in importance. Bradley with some energy would have been equally important.
17.) 18 Mar 2025 01:00:26
Didn’t Tchouameni say that he didn’t want to come to Liverpool when he chose to go to RM? Personally I’d say he has had his chance with us.
18.) 18 Mar 2025 12:28:52
So any one of
Tchouameni
Cammavinga.
Zubimendi.
Wharton.
Anderson.
Out of them I’d go with Cammavinga simply as I have seen ire of him than the others Tchouameni second.
19.) 18 Mar 2025 12:43:59
WDW3, his quote is below - not saying that he didn't want to come to Liverpool, but that he really wanted to go to RM as he regards them as the biggest club in world football. Not ideal!
"“The first to come forward was Liverpool, we had discussions. Then Real arrived, ” Tchouameni explained.
“And in my head everything was clear. It was Real and not another.
“It’s the biggest club in the world. If you want to accomplish great things, to mark the history of your sport, there is no better. "
20.) 18 Mar 2025 22:39:37
Fair comments re Tchouameni choosing Madrid over us but Salah chose Chelsea over us initially. didn't work out too badly second time around did it! Not saying he'd end up another Salah but let's be real, as much as we all love Liverpool, unless you're a die hard pool fan, it's hard to justify choosing Liverpool over Real Madrid so wouldn't hold it against the lad personally.
Baleba or Wharton for me for the middle although neither would come cheap unfortunately.
03 Oct 2024 10:05:29
Question for Ed001 (and others), we've been linked today to Karim Adeyemi (via BBC Sport Gossip, but the source is show as the S*n hence I am not clicking any further! ) .
Not asking whether the link is real or not, but would you say he is a good candidate to take Salah's place in the squad in the future?
{Ed002's Note - Karim Adeyemi (LW/S) Versatile forward who took a long time to regain his form since moving to Dortmund and is now becoming much more consistant - indeed becoming prolific when playing on the LW now. Prior interest of Atalanta fhas gone. Offered to Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool through a third party last season, with Chelsea still sending scouts on a regular basis still. An option might be Juventus as they wish to add a LW and have also been sending scouts. Liverpool opted for Chiesa and Arsenal took Sterling on loan and have Martinelli already so they have no urgent need for a LW but do need to add cover on the right. Spurs have an option on Timo Werner but do need cover at LW. Chelsea have an obligation to buy Sancho if certain conditions are met but are looking at options to replace another player in the summer, hence the scouting continuing. Wildcard would be Bayern Munich as a replacement for Kingsley Coman. Borussia Dortmund will not look to sell.}
1.) 03 Oct 2024 11:39:45
Thanks Ed002. Could he be a RW solution if Slot wanted a like for like (albeit less developed) replacement for Salah? He is left footed but no idea if he has been deployed on the RW at all at Dortmund or Salzburg?
{Ed002's Note - Yes he has played some games on the right, but at RBS he was effective as a striker and at Dortmund as a LW - and Liverpool have just added Chiesa so another LW is certainly not needed. If Salah is to depart a like-for-like replacement still available and looked at before would be someone like Bakayoko.}
2.) 03 Oct 2024 12:03:39
Thanks Ed002, I'd forgotten about Bakayoko! Hopefully he can continue to kick on this season.
{Ed002's Note - Whilst most of the players looked at for the summer are no longer options, Bakayoko is one of those who remain. No doubt the club will look to other options aswell if needs be.}
3.) 03 Oct 2024 14:27:07
Doak is better than Bakayoko.
4.) 03 Oct 2024 15:45:20
We need a striker. Nunez hasn’t worked out unfortunately.
5.) 03 Oct 2024 17:55:37
We have plenty of goals in the team and Nunez has shown when he is relaxed he can score. Salah was deemed a failure at Chelsea and many people on this platform were quick to point that out at the time.
Nunez seems to need to feel loved to settle and get more game time to find his rhythm.
He also takes defenders away to create space for other players.
We as fans are too quick to throw players on the scrapheap and watch with envy when they go and play well elsewhere.
When Nunez does get a run and starts putting the ball away he will become unplayable. Until then we have a very capable team who are still winning matches.
6.) 03 Oct 2024 21:56:20
@Mbwell77, Salah wasn’t effective ar Chelsea but basically hit the ground running at Liverpool, coming off the back of a good spell at Roma, which presumably, bolstered his self belief.
Nunez has been at Liverpool since June 2022 and we are still saying he’ll come good ‘when he does this’, ‘when that happens’ etc. People say he should be given a run of games but never really say why. If he was consistently impressing in training or when he gets a start he would have had an extended run in the team by now. It looks like (admittedly after only 9 games this season) Nunez gets a run out if Jota is in need of a rest (much the same with Tsimi for Robbo) . I want everyone who plays for Liverpool to play their best and be brilliant for us but I get this gut feeling (might be what I eat) that there’s just something about Nunez that just isn’t quite right.
7.) 04 Oct 2024 07:28:33
Agree WDW he is not prolific enough and not the right fit for LFC.
{Ed001's Note - but he is wrong about Nunez only playing to rest Jota - Jota got dropped after poor performances for Nunez, and only got back in when Nunez was ill. It is Jota who is now playing the back up role. Now is the chance to find out how Nunez does with a run of games. So far the team has looked better, much better, with him there rather than Jota, but it is very early days.}
8.) 04 Oct 2024 10:39:02
Gravenberch this season has proven that if you put a square peg in a square hole then he fits.
WDW, I would completely agree with your view if we hadn't had a change in manager. We have to give Slot the opportunity to find out if Nunez works in the system he wants to play.
As Ed001 has said, the team has looked better with Nunez in it. We're all impatient, and hate phrases like "transition" and "rebuilding", as we want to win every comp every year. Fortunately, Slot has been left with a decent squad and he's getting us playing a (similar but slightly different) tune. I don't think Slot will persevere with an off key player once he's had the chance to see him.
Summary - the clock has reset with all players at the start of the season due to the new manager.
9.) 04 Oct 2024 13:13:22
Darwin scored 18 times for Liverpool last season. I don't understand the negative opinions about him . Pretty respectable stats if you ask me.
10.) 04 Oct 2024 20:37:49
Sorry, @IDOG, I’m not saying Nunez is bad, what I’m saying is that parts of his game aren’t good enough and we can’t rely on someone who isn’t consistently playing at the level we need if we want to be serious about winning PLs and CLs.
11.) 04 Oct 2024 20:33:20
Mistake on my part Ed01 - I thought Jota had picked up a knock and was slack in checking what I thought was true was actually true. That said, I still think Slot sees Jota as the preferable of his two (main) options for the spot and I definitely think that after over 2 years at the club if Nunez was going to be a regular starter then he would be a no brainer to start regularly.
{Ed001's Note - the only reason Jota was starting is because Nunez had been away with his country and got back later. Slot never got the chance to try Nunez in pre-season to assess him, but was quick to put him in the moment Jota's level dropped. That suggests he prefers Nunez.}
12.) 05 Oct 2024 00:57:46
Nunez is a player I have championed from the start. Anyone who watched him at Benfica will know he definitely can finish and when on form he is unplayable.
Granted we haven’t seen enough of his best form but he came into a team that had played a false 9 for 7 years and didn’t know how to use him. We had Salah and Diaz cutting in and invading his space because that’s what they’ve always done with Bobby dropping deep to leave the space for them.
That and his sending off against Palace gave him a bit of a confidence crisis which it took him a while to recover from.
Now there is so much pressure on the guy because every time he is offside or misses a chance the world seems to want to jump on him. It became Haaland vs Nunez from the start and the media have picked Haaland who seems to be beyond criticism whereas Nunez is forensically criticised for everything he does. By his own fans a lot of the time.
If we allow him to play his game and just stop tearing the kid down he could be a very special player.
If he leaves I think we will end up regretting it as he bangs in the goals for someone else.
13.) 05 Oct 2024 04:13:13
I rate Nunez highly, the lad just needs a bit of luck. Sometimes he is frustrating but nobody can fault his effort and I think our attack looks so much more dangerous when he's playing. I do think he lacks concentration at times though but there's a player in there trying to get out and I hope that player comes out this season.
14.) 05 Oct 2024 09:19:45
He needs to be putting a lot of work in to timing his runs. With VAR you have to be perfect otherwise you’ll be offside.
15.) 05 Oct 2024 09:04:26
I’m not as convinced as you are Ed01, but, as I say I think that there is a question mark about both of them as a regular starter, for different reasons, if we could find one I would invest and keep one of our current two as a back-up with Jota being the likely candidate for me.
{Ed001's Note - where did I say I was convinced?}
16.) 05 Oct 2024 11:22:47
Fair point Ed01, perhaps I should have said that I’m more less convinced than you, if that makes sense. interesting that Jota is back in for today’s match and good to see Cody and Curtis getting a start. I sent a post into the banter page over night which didn’t seem to make it onto the board for a bit of fun about who would start for us and what the score would be and I had Nunez in the starting line up.
{Ed001's Note - it might have been placed on a different page. Probably match posts page.}
17.) 05 Oct 2024 12:12:47
No worries, thanks.
18.) 06 Oct 2024 12:47:36
Well he played Jota again yesterday, so who knows.
19.) 06 Oct 2024 21:41:51
ed2 - excuse my ignorant but what does "offered by a third party" mean and what are their function?
{Ed002's Note - Third parties are registered agents or lawyers if in Germany or Switzerland. They are allowed to negotiate transfers and employed by those players who represent themselves or have family represent them.}
20 Aug 2024 18:42:16
If you have time Ed002, I'm reading (albeit in the tabloid sites) that Bayer Leverkusen are interested in Sepp VDB and are potentially the front runners ahead of Brentford as they can offer CL football.
Do we still hold interest in Hincapie and if so, would a plyer plus cash deal be feasible?
{Ed002's Note - Sepp van den Berg (CB) He likely won't get a chance as a starter at Liverpool and will most likely be sold in the summer to raise funds if a buyer can be found - could be a mistake by the club but the player has taken the position that he wants to move although he seems to me to be an ideal Matip replacement. There is no release clause for Mainz but they will have a first pick option if he were to be sold - and they have made their interest known and will look for another loan with an option to buy the player who had a great season. They have already held talks with Liverpool. PSV, Brentford, Bayer Leverkusenn, Southampton and Wolfsburg offer options. Will need to speak to the club and see what other options he has, but he certainly burned bridges in an interview with De Telegraaf. Player now says he is being priced out of a move to PSV and is seriously miffed with the club. He says communication is non existant.
Piero Hincapie (CB) Interest of Nottingham Forest will go nowhere. Scouted and rejected by Spurs as not being ready for the Premier League, but he may well be now and they are struggling to find a target to join them. Apparently open to a move to Liverpool as they look for cover but his expectation is to be a starter but that would take the departure of van Dijk and Liverpool have a preferred option under those circumstances. Atletico have spoken with Bayer Leverkusen who are reluctant to make changes at CB although there is pressure mouting over interest both Tapsoba and Tah. Milan and Roma have both sent scouts, but no more than that.}

Could we complete the Leverkusen transformation into Southampton by adding Tah and Boniface to Wirtz and Frimpong?
1.) 23 May 2025 20:31:36
Apparently Tah confirmed for Bayern tonight mate.
2.) 23 May 2025 21:04:52
Ah shame ?.
3.) 24 May 2025 00:44:22
Wirtz or Tah?
Hmmm I think we did better than Bayern there.
20 May 2025 13:19:20
One for Ed001 and others, would you rate Hincapie as a better fit for Liverpool than Hato? Both left footed, can play CB and LB, both 6ft tall.
From tabloid reports, Hincapie looks like he might cost around £20m more than Hato.
{Ed001's Note - I haven't seen Hincapie play in a back four nor as an actual left back to judge him.}
15 May 2025 10:35:23
Been mulling over our striker options given that Isak is probably not going to happen due to cost as Newcastle are almost certain of Champions League.
I always like us to find a deal rather than necessarily pay top price, and that keeps me returning to Lookman.
Initially, I dismissed him - why would we want a Toffees cast off - however he really seems to be flourishing at Atalanta. His goal output isn't massive compared to others, but from what I have read he is as much a creator like Bobby was (let me know if I am wrong!) as he's hitting around 20 G/A in each of the last 3 seasons in Serie A.
On the downside, he plays for Nigeria wo will be going to AFCON. He's also turning 28 later this year, so it's not the youth purchase, but he still has a few seasons left.
However, on the upside, he's very quick, knows the EPL (albeit hasn't hit great numbers in the EPL for Leicester, Fulham or Everton), he is available (if reports are to be believed) for c. £50m or thereabouts, and he is HG.
What do other folks think? Is he the sensible choice when compared to Sesko or Ekitike who are both more expensive, not HG and don't have EPL experience?
1.) 15 May 2025 11:59:30
Laying the bait for Viktor there, zed.
2.) 15 May 2025 12:14:06
Zed seen a link yesterday that Atalanta are interested in Chiesa and LFC in Lookman so there could be legs to this one.
3.) 15 May 2025 12:26:23
Yup, PB. Fortunately, if you exclude Vik and the various Harry regens, then there's actually some interesting opinions on the site! Just skip over the negative ninny posts!
4.) 15 May 2025 12:30:59
Zed, I love Lookman to bits too (not arsed about his Toffee either but my reasons for that are diff. ) BUT he is best out wide. If we are going to need a striker then we need to actually, get a striker whoever that may be.
5.) 15 May 2025 12:41:05
Osimhem, Chuna or Sesko for me and probably in that order. Instead of signing Lookman you might as well just keep Diaz down the middle and Jota (if he stays) on the bench or visa versa.
6.) 15 May 2025 12:53:50
Big summer for Hughes. He’s had a full year to get this right. Don’t blow it Dicko.
7.) 15 May 2025 12:55:39
Actually, I had forgotten about Osimhen - Napoli also interested in Chiesa so a creative option there too. Wasn't aware that Lookman played more out wide that ST - folks are right, in which case we have Diaz (who does look like he is staying) .
Osimhen, Salah, Diaz, Gakpo, Cherki and Doak would do me up front! We have some depth (with Diaz or Gakpo through the middle during AFCON and also Frimpong able to play the Salah role too)

Lookman is a winger, he’s certainly nothing like Firmino. He doesn’t physical presence to be any kind of centre forward and he’s not got Firmino’s intelligence on the ball.
Given his age (he’s 28 this year) and the fact he’ll be off to the AFCON, it would be a silly transfer as he is at the wrong end of his career and having another forward who’ll be away for four or five weeks is extremely disruptive.
He’s not worth anywhere near the fee that Atalanta want, plus he seems like a fragile ego who can’t take criticism and given how Slot doesn’t pull punches do we really want a player who cries in public when the manager criticises him? And that’s without mentioning his toffee past which is a big mark against him,
To go from talk of Isak and Alvarez to the likes of Lookman or Joao Pedro isn’t as much a steep drop off in quality as effing vertical. Lookman is Spurs level, not the level of a title winning team.
{Ed025's Note - do you think him once playing for Everton is a factor Victor?.. really?..
9.) 15 May 2025 13:11:59
Osimhen would definitely be my first choice as well.
10.) 15 May 2025 13:42:24
VV is on a roll today Ed025 ?.
{Ed025's Note - he is certainly mellowing Barry..
11.) 15 May 2025 13:56:17
Hi @ed025 shouldn't make any difference regarding if they played for the toffees, now United on the other hand!
Wanted to ask if your still as joyous about the arrival of Moyes as you were. Least it will be a change of subject regarding trent.
Keep up the good work.
{Ed025's Note - hi SM, im still on the fence regarding Moyes mate, he is a very pragmatic manager and i would like to see us play with a bit more flair as opposed to a load of grafters, maybe with some new additions he could surprise me....but im not holding my breath..
12.) 15 May 2025 14:50:20
Don’t complicate it, just get Cunha.
13.) 15 May 2025 13:59:59
If he played for Everton he is not good enough for Liverpool. Those days are gone Everton are a championship team playing in the Prem. Lookman is nowhere near good enough to play for Liverpool reminds me of Sterling which is not a good thing in any way shape or form.
14.) 15 May 2025 22:09:59
Cunha or Oshimen. Not convinced by the rest outside of Isak/ Alvarez who we re unlikely to get.
14 May 2025 18:30:18
Hypothetical question for Ed001, if we did sign Wirtz, I presume he would play in the No 10 position? Szob would play more box-to-box? If so, who would you get in to dovetail with Wirtz up front through the middle? Cunha is more of a second striker himself. Would it be someone like Sesko if we couldn't afford Isak too?
{Ed001's Note - yes, someone like that would be necessary then.}
1.) 14 May 2025 20:16:01
Wouldn’t it work with say Szobo as it is and Wirtz as a false 9 Ed? I know you don’t like this pigeon hiking players into position but something like that Szobo Jones combo v City?
{Ed001's Note - in some games it could yes.}
2.) 14 May 2025 20:22:58
Can't remember him setting any fireworks alight, when Bayer was thumped at 4-0 at Anfield on Bonfire Night!05/ 11/ 24.
Frimpong also played!
Kaveh@Sky saying LFC have no interest three hours ago, who knows, who knows.
3.) 14 May 2025 20:33:14
Don't worry about it he won't be signing.
{Ed025's Note - thanks for that Mystic Harry.. :)
4.) 14 May 2025 20:38:28
Bellingham, tchouameni, Caicedo, zubimendi, wirtz ?.
5.) 14 May 2025 20:42:48
I’ve also heard pigeons like hiking.
Almost as much as they like flying.
6.) 14 May 2025 21:21:51
JK, they find it difficult to hitchhike though - no thumbs, poor things :- (.
7.) 14 May 2025 22:29:22
how much money do we think social media pages make out of liverpool fan thirst for transfer news
:D.
8.) 15 May 2025 00:39:56
No way on this earth we are getting Wirtz. If he comes to England he will go to city to replace KDB.
9.) 15 May 2025 05:12:06
Why would he want to play in the Championship? #115.
10.) 15 May 2025 06:28:21
Caicedo and Zubimendi turned us down ?.
11.) 15 May 2025 12:55:43
007, maybe you should watch him a lot more rather than judging him on the one game where his team got outplayed and where nobody on his team played well. Just a thought.
02 May 2025 17:07:07
Ed001, I;d love to get your view on Rayan Cherki as he seems to be being linked a lot in the last few days.
On paper (and YT! ) he looks like a great option for us, but if you've seen him play (and other posters too) is he as good as is being made out and where would he slot in?
{Ed001's Note - technically he is incredible, but he is a bit lazy so not sure he would suit us.}
1.) 02 May 2025 18:58:16
I think with the proper guidance Cherki will hit the highs. He tore the Mancs to shred but again, it MU so.
2.) 02 May 2025 19:49:06
If someone can fix his application and tune him physically then you have a Kvara on your hands.
3.) 02 May 2025 22:10:08
I’d take a punt if the price was right. Still very young as well. If we did sign him I’d still expect another attacking player ala Isak or Cunha.
21 May 2025 20:43:15
I think you’re selfish Davey.
You could have made the difference in the deal
?.
20 May 2025 23:21:45
Meant to be a cheaper, younger Zubimendi alternative who can help shoulder Gravenberch's responsibilities. Would be a sensible signing at £25m or so.
20 May 2025 23:19:19
OK, wasn't German or Dutch - he's Spanish - Mikel Jauregizar! Linked a few days ago.
20 May 2025 22:25:53
Nah, Dominic, surname starting with J. We were linked in a few tabloid articles a week or so ago. I'm sure he was German or Dutch but his didn't sound like he was. Wracking my brains!
20 May 2025 21:26:18
I'm sure there was a linked midfielder, I think German, recently starting with J but I can't remember the rest of his name!
23 May 2025 22:22:03
No, I am Macca.
23 May 2025 21:04:52
Ah shame ?.
20 May 2025 22:36:35
Welcome mate.
20 May 2025 13:40:27
No they weren't, Harry, yet another lie.
20 May 2025 13:39:41
Hey Jay, welcome back! I've only seen highlights, but over a few years as we were linked with 2-3 years ago originally (or even longer? ) .
What is intriguing is the post further down that alleges that his clause for Germany (or even Bayern? ) is €150m but his clause for the rest of Europe is €100m
At £126m I'd be unsure of his value, not because he's not worth that, but because we have a number of players to get this window and most of the ones we get will be starters ergo expensive.
At £84m, that's a whole other ball game and would be great value and affordable with a top striker and other players too.
With apologies to Ed002, Wirtz at £84m and Isak around £120m, plus Frimpong, Kerkez and Hato for a total of £100m, with our sales raising around £200m+ would mean a net investment of £100m for 4 quality first 11 players. If we could gel quickly, it'd be an AMAZING window!
