Ed001 few questions for you are we seriously looking at Benjamin Sesko. I think he has the potential to be our next real star striker.
Do you think we could get both Nunez and Jota out this summer and if so would you think if we do at the £30m price Liam Delap would be a good signing to come in even if it's to just rotate with a first choice and maybe sell on in the future like we did with Solanke.
Last Ed with the frimpong deal looking very much likely now I can't see him on wages anywhere near what we offered Trent so with the payments spread over the 4 years even though we lost Trent for nothing I would guess the money spent over the next 4 years will be roughly the same maybe even slightly less depending on his wages. So do you think that's been smart business from the club. Thanks Ed and good morning.
{Ed001's Note - yes.
Yes.
No.
No.}

Please not Delap …. He’s not Liverpool standard.
Man Utd yeh .
2.) 16 May 2025 11:59:53
Delap is a lummox.
Name (bar Toshack and for a while Heskey) a time Liverpool have thrived with a big lump up front:
Suarez, Owen, Fowler, Rush, Sturridge etc. YES
NOT
Darwin, Ballotelli, Lambert, Carroll etc. NO.
3.) 16 May 2025 12:14:13
Ed do you rate sesko? He does seem to get better each year . Personally i think etikite is more rounded as a striker in terms of touch, awareness on the pitch of who is around him and finishing, sesko is better in the air which is something we need but i get a feeling etikite has the most potential.
{Ed001's Note - Sesko is very inconsistent. He does have a hammer shot though.}
4.) 16 May 2025 12:46:29
I can see Delap at one of the promoted sides, Wolves or Brighton if they lose their main striker or possibly Man utd if they shift Zirkzee. An underwhelming signing for any of the bigger clubs.
5.) 16 May 2025 12:50:46
Meijer.
6.) 16 May 2025 14:30:48
What about Jonathan David on a free? As a secondary striker instead of Delap.
7.) 16 May 2025 15:34:56
Surely Jayden Danns should also get a bite of the Cherry! I concur Delap is proven in the Premier and further advanced ability and playing wise than Jayden who is a rookie compared to Delaps proven premier experience, both know where the Onion Bag is though.
If Delap (Supersub reference to Origi) were to sign hopefully! then the best for Jayden would be a "season" long loan to an up and coming Club his Sunderland loan was only after circa Xmas, Wrexham springs to mind just promoted to the EFL Championship, or perhaps United! (Leeds on loan) have deliberately put United as Man fans sing there is only one United and always THINK there is only one United, but they won't sing 20 times anymore!
Though Wrexham would be more preferable as one of the many aims of a Loan is to primarily prove ye fitness for playing a full season programme wherever that may be, as well as in Danns case the goals he scores. Danns next stage loan wise is to be a consistent playing regular goal scorer in a good league.
Danns is currently on loan to Sunderland and injured and did not take part in the Two Championship Semi-Final Play Offs for the Premiership versus Coventry, hopefully he can make the Wembley Play Off Final against "UNITED" (Sheffield) for the last place for the Premiership next season, as if Sunderland are promoted to the premier hopefully he can stay on loan there also is an option likely.
And if United (Sheff) wins there will be five UNITEDS in the prem next season: Newcastle United, West Ham United, Leeds United, Sheffield United and "man WHO"!
14 May 2025 16:21:45
Ed001 you know anything about Florian Wirtz meeting Liverpool officials seem loads of reports on the internet about it. Some saying that he and his family where with Liverpool officials for over an hour.
{Ed001's Note - no mate but they are likely to meet with a few clubs over the next few weeks.}
1.) 14 May 2025 17:59:19
Reckon we have any chance Ed?
{Ed001's Note - no idea. I see no reason why the player would not be interested, but it will be a personal choice he is making.}
07 May 2025 20:28:55
Ed001 do we hold any interest in franco mastantuono seen a few reports and rave reviews about the young lad. Sounds like a good long term signing.
{Ed001's Note - yes but I think he has already agreed a move elsewhere.}
1.) 07 May 2025 21:29:52
Thought he was still undecided? Unless you’re thinking of the other player City bought.
{Ed001's Note - I didn't say City.}
2.) 07 May 2025 21:51:12
Is he off to Man U?
3.) 07 May 2025 22:00:41
Everyone’s favourite Madrid.
4.) 07 May 2025 22:37:33
He’s off to join Trent mate.
5.) 07 May 2025 22:32:05
What Ed? Noooooo! I hope you’re wrong. And I really don’t want to hear we’ve missed out on a gem we’ve been tracking to Chelsea or United again. Ugh.
6.) 07 May 2025 23:41:47
United is the team who are likely to sign him. Madrid had been scouting him and very interested but decided to back out.
30 Apr 2025 07:44:05
Ed001 seem a few reports of us going for Andrea Cambiaso what's yours thoughts on him he is a left that can play right if I am correct would you have him over Kerkez.
1.) 30 Apr 2025 12:01:19
Thought he’s nailed on for city.
27 Mar 2025 19:49:20
Ed001 Do we have any interest giorgio scalvini him and dean huijsen would be a great partnership for years to come if we could bring both in.
{Ed001's Note - everybody has been looking at him.}
1.) 28 Mar 2025 07:05:03
Do you think Huijsen can play on right side Ed? If we decided to sell Konate and VVD sign a new contract, will be really great if we can get Huijsen. And in long-term move to left side to replace VVD.
{Ed001's Note - he should be capable, but it might be difficult for him as I doubt he will have played there often at all, even at youth level. While he is both-footed, left-footers are so rare that anyone who favours that foot, or is both footed, tends to always play on the left side of defence. He does seem a smart lad though, so he might be able to adapt easily. But it is different for left peggers than righties due to them always playing one side, rather than sometimes having to play the other one due to a lack of a left footer.
In theory though, he should be fine there.}
2.) 28 Mar 2025 08:12:39
Hi ed, I'm a left footer. I'd be happy to step up for £200k a week and a signing on fee of a Freddo.
3.) 28 Mar 2025 08:19:34
I'm just thinking that when you said you don't think Konate will sign a new contract, Huijsen would be a perfect replacement. I think he is the kind of player like VVD and Alisson that you wouldn't want to pass up the opportunity to sign him when he is available.
And I think it will only happen if one of Konate or VVD leaving. I can't see him wanting to come as a backup to either one of Konate or VVD. Ideally having both of them plus Huijsen is perfect, but I don't think its going to work.
4.) 28 Mar 2025 08:30:16
Out of all the linked players I’m hoping this one happens more than others. He’s been very impressive in his first season in the prem. At 50 million he’s a steal in today’s market, has a very high ceiling and is still very young. He can also eventually be Van Dijk successor on the left hand side.
For me what you call a no brainier for many reasons including above points. If Doak isn’t wanted by us then this summer is the time to sell after the season he’s had. Bournemouth allegedly have some interest in Doak so use him as a make weight.
We need to start getting our ducks in a row in relation to both departures and incomings we certainly can’t afford a window like the last two we’ve had.
I feel the likes of Khelleher, Nunez, Jota, Tsimikas, Endo, Doak, Koumas are more than certainly gone this summer.
There’s two windows this summer so I’m hoping we have signed at least three by end of first window ending.
5.) 28 Mar 2025 09:11:36
We should offer the release clause + 20mil
Huijsen is worth it and for a guy who could be a mainstay of the Defense for 5+ years, the 70mi.
6.) 28 Mar 2025 11:09:20
Huisen and Scalvini to replace Gomez and Quansah? Yes please.
7.) 28 Mar 2025 11:44:47
We could offer that Faith, but if Madrid offer the buyout and he only wants to go there it’s a waste of time. We’d be better trying to make the package to join us as attractive as possible to the player. We need to convince him that we’re serious about building and maintaining a squad that can win titles year in year out the way Madrid do, which unfortunately we haven’t been able to do consistently.
8.) 28 Mar 2025 11:55:20
I'm right footed but pay me 200k a week and I'll be left footed in no time.
In all seriousness, it makes no sense for footballers not to be able to play with both feet. They're paid exorbitant amounts to be able to do just that, kick a ball. I think it was Nedved who trained his weaker foot to be just as good, if not better, than his better one and that's the kind of standard we should be demanding of from professional footballers.
9.) 28 Mar 2025 13:32:24
If Konate were to go and we bring Huijsen, why just move VVD to the right?
10.) 28 Mar 2025 13:48:28
In all seriousness ALL professional footballers can play with their weaker foot. Their weaker foot on its worst day is better than mine or your strong foot on its best day. But to have the ability to control, pass, dribble to the same unbelievably high standard on both feet is near on impossible and anyone who can is genetically ambidextrous. The Premier League is the top .01%, any drop off in quality and you are not at the level. Why did Benitez play Arbeloa left back against Messi in the Champions League knockouts? Because you naturally move, tackle, read space and depth better on one side than the other. Its science man! Go out and try to throw a stone with your weak hand and see how far it goes.
11.) 28 Mar 2025 17:42:17
Real madrid bound unfortunately.
12.) 28 Mar 2025 19:08:17
Huisjen is very young, no? As Quansah - and many other young cbs - have shown: one good season doesn’t guarantee true greatness. It’s such a tough job, mentally and physically, that it’s often hard to get a handle on who is great until they are 25-26.
Not sure Virgil had clubs pounding after him in his early years. When it comes to cbs, it’s the one position you need to pay big for when they are mature, and they know exactly what player they can be.
13.) 28 Mar 2025 19:52:19
To be fair Monstersouness, he had a really good spell on loan at Roma before he went to Bournemouth. I'm fact, he was impressive the few times he played for Juve too I believe.
He's a star in the making, but if Madrid are in for him, I reckon that's that. No guarantees they are though, full backs are their priority I would think.

Ed001 how many incomings you expecting this summer. It feels like the there could be loads lat least 5. The defence and forward line looks like the ones with could get big changes. It seems we have so many players slot does not trust. could you see Jorrel Hato Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen all coming if a few leave.
{Ed001's Note - I do expect it to be a busy summer, there are a lot of players Slot doesn't want that need to go as well. Should be 4 or 5 incomings, I would think. Good thing is that, despite winning the league at a canter, there are quite a few obvious shortcomings that can be addressed to make us even better for next season.}
1.) 12 May 2025 19:07:51
Yep when we won it last time we needed a bit more quality in midfield which we got in Thiago. Other than that we just needed some cover at left back which we got in Tsimikas, and up top which we got in Jota (In hindsight i think we should have been all over Bruno Fernandes and Haaland) Problem was we never replaced Lovren and suffered with injuries at the back, This summer is completely different and its not a bad thing its actually exciting that we've won it yet still have so much room for improvement. Striker and left back are the big 2 that go straight into the 11 and where we should be doing everything possible to get the best players we can in those positions. Then a CB to rotate with VVD and Konate, a RB to fight it out with Bradley and a DM/ AM if Endo/ Elliott leave.
2.) 12 May 2025 19:45:11
Bloody hell Ed001 4 or 5 newbies this will be a busy summer. Dickie will sort it ?.
3.) 12 May 2025 21:31:59
Let’s hope so Ed, always better to strengthen the squad when in a position of strength…. I hope we sign a cb, fb, cm/ dm, and a forward or even two.
4.) 12 May 2025 21:42:14
The league was wrapped up long ago but next season you would expect much more of a challenge. I agree totally on the face that we can make large improvements in the lb position and central attacking positions.

Old Golden Balls will not be coming his way, in his dreams perhaps.
2.) 06 May 2025 13:44:56
If Madrid are successful you have Mbappe, Vini and Bellingham all ahead of him for the golden ball. Not to mention the likes of Yamal, Pedri, Musiala, etc. I know confidence is a huge part of pro football, but this goes beyond reason and delusion. Just needs a green hat and he looks like Luigi ?.

30 Apr 2025 07:44:05
Ed001 seem a few reports of us going for Andrea Cambiaso what's yours thoughts on him he is a left that can play right if I am correct would you have him over Kerkez.
{Ed001's Note - I like him. I would be surprised if he moved though. Juve would be silly to lose him.}
1.) 30 Apr 2025 09:06:52
Isn't Cambiaso a right/ wing back?
{Ed001's Note - he can play on either side.}
2.) 30 Apr 2025 09:41:52
Juve do seem to make a lot of weird decisions though. I think he was linked with City quite a bit over the January window. Ability to cover both flanks is definitely a plus.
3.) 30 Apr 2025 09:42:20
Forgive my ignorance, Ed.
{Ed001's Note - no worries mate.}
4.) 30 Apr 2025 09:48:21
Juve have let go of huijsen, rovella, soule and fagioli (moise Kean conveniently became series A's second top scorer after leaving too lol)
So you never know ed, they love selling their best talent.
{Ed001's Note - they didn't have a choice with Huijsen.}
5.) 30 Apr 2025 14:07:04
@PB and they signed Kolomuani, which tells you what you need to know about Juve's transfer decision making.
27 Apr 2025 21:36:46
Ed001 We have walked the league this season yet it feels like the team and squad has so much room for improvement. City look like they need a massive overhaul I feel like they need more than one window to get back challenging again and that depends what on the verdict of the case. It seems next season will be between us and Arsenal and I feel it will go down to the summer transfer window I feel we have a better rounded squad so I hope Hughes earns his money this summer and we push on next season and Slot gets more players he trusts and we can go stronger in the second half of the season next time as I think us in the first half of the season we would have destroyed PSG and would be massive favourites for the champions league now if the players did not run out of steam.
1.) 28 Apr 2025 03:00:32
I’ll bet Arsenal struggle to finish in the top 4 next season, especially if they don’t win the CL.
Not really the time or place but Arteta has been there 6 years, spent hundreds of millions and has won 1 FA Cup. Slot has been here 1 year, bought one player for this season’s squad for @ £16m, and is batting 1 for 1 in the PL. has any manager / head coach ever won 2 titles in their first 2 years?
2.) 28 Apr 2025 06:22:19
I expect City to be back competing at the top next season, they can't be ruled out. As for Arsenal, unless they secure a top class striker and make several key additions, I can't see them winning anything significant. In my opinion, parting ways with Arteta would benefit their long term progress - he hasn't proven himself capable of taking them to the next level.
Liverpool? Well, we've just won the league, so who really cares! That said, if Hughes steps up in the summer and we manage to bring in some of the players we've been linked with, there's no reason why we can't challenge right at the top again next season.
3.) 28 Apr 2025 07:08:07
Salah, "challenge" next year? We will win.! ????.
26 Apr 2025 23:36:43
Ed001 any chance of getting Adam Wharton home grown and his passing through the lines from the 6 position is something you don't see from English players like that very often.
{Ed001's Note - yes, unless you watch Harvey Elliott play, then you will see the same stuff. I do like Wharton and I am sure there will plenty of interest but I don't think that is what we will be looking to do in the market. We brought Hughes in to unearth hidden gems.}
1.) 26 Apr 2025 23:54:42
It's amazing we have won the league this year and blatantly can improve in almost all areas of the pitch, whilst we are top of the tree it would be nice to improve from a position of strength and sign the cream of the crop, I am fascinated to see the work of Richards this summer.
2.) 27 Apr 2025 00:09:34
Hailstones - when have we ever recruited the cream of the crop?
3.) 27 Apr 2025 00:36:20
Call me cautious but we haven’t won the league yet.
4.) 27 Apr 2025 02:12:50
Happens today though SJ high scoring game I think too.
5.) 27 Apr 2025 02:13:27
Alisson, Van Dijk, Mane, Torres, Suarez, Dalglish to name a few.
6.) 27 Apr 2025 02:23:18
@Faith, when we signed Ali and VVD and Mo, for starters, if the daily discussions for the past 12 months is anything to go by.
7.) 27 Apr 2025 04:13:56
Even if we lose every game- I still KNOW that arsenal are incapable of winning every game. We won it mate. Enjoy the next while.
8.) 27 Apr 2025 08:48:22
Wharton offers more than Elliott, in my opinion. Don't think we'll get him though, as much as I'd like us to.
9.) 27 Apr 2025 08:55:49
About 50% of Elliot’s minutes under Slot have come on the wings who’s season.
Him and Wharton might have similar passing skill sets but they do play different positions as Wharton seems to be used as a deeper lying CM.
{Ed001's Note - but that changed as Slot got to know Elliott, and he has reverted to using him in midfield when he brings him on. Even bringing Jones on to play on the wing in the last game despite Elliott being on the pitch.}
10.) 27 Apr 2025 09:46:36
Ed001 that’s true about Elliot mate. I should have elaborated in my message as in Elliot seems to play the more advanced centre mid role.
He’s still finding minutes hard to come by (90 min game time in last 11 league games) but if we wrap it up today I’m hoping to see Slot give him, Endo and Chiesa maximum opportunity to impress in last 4 games.
{Ed001's Note - fingers crossed, though I would understand if he decided not to try Endo due to his age. I absolutely love him, but he is not the future of the club sadly.}
11.) 27 Apr 2025 10:12:23
The problem with that ed Elliot is 5 foot nothing with the physical attributes of a feather, tidy player but I don’t think he’s suited to a central role in the prem.
{Ed001's Note - Wharton has a very similar physique and Elliott is far from weak, I don't know where this fallacy comes from. If you think height is relevant, then you are stuck in the 1980s.}
12.) 27 Apr 2025 11:07:13
I love Elliot ed001 and think he should be starting ahead of Sobs at the minute as the same as the end of last season his form has fallen way off. And I think Elliott in the 10 offers a lot more than Jones there so Wharton would be more to bulk up the competition with Gravenberch and Mac what I think has shown from January onwards Endo is definitely not trusted to start games in the big games by Slot but I hope he stays next season even for cup games and to see games out.
16 May 2025 07:09:41
Ed001 what your thoughts on Huijsen as a player I have only watched him a few times and I think he looks outstanding on the ball but one thing that would have worried me was his recovery pace with how far forward we defended. I watched Bournemouth last weekend and Villa had a break on them and he looked like he was running in sand.
{Ed001's Note - excellent young defender, but he does still have a fair bit to learn. He is not lightning quick, but he is no slouch either.}
13 May 2025 14:05:41
Why is he a prick like Naby batman or just onfield like him?
13 May 2025 08:03:07
Unless Dean Huijsen turns us down I don’t get why we would go for him. With the amount of work our squad is going to need he is going to cost a lot more and I think his ceiling is nowhere near as high. Forest play a completely different style of football to us so I think he would be a massive gamble.
10 May 2025 17:01:44
Ed001 what you think of Frimpong I’ve not seen much of him but I think he has played all over the place even upfront so I could see him being a great addition for the price age and his versatility to the squad. if what I heard today is true the £30m is to be paid over 4 seasons to Ed don’t know if that’s true but if it is makes it an even better deal £7.5m a year is a bargain.
{Ed001's Note - great wingback, not very good in any other position from what I have seen.}
09 May 2025 19:04:21
Kaiser i don’t care where players come from but i do think Robinson is vastly overrated his work rate is and running power is first class but he gives the ball away far to often for my liking with simple passes. He reminds me of Jota in that way so massive no no from me I would rather Owen beck be given a chance that spending the reported £50m mark talked about Robinson.
16 May 2025 07:06:10
We need to keep Konate if we can it would be stupid to let 3 of our 4 defenders leave in one season. Robertson has got to be replaced because he just can’t do it at this level anymore. Trent is gone so to lose Konate as well would be far too much and with him and Virgil together we can easily add to full backs into the team but I would not want to add a new centre back as well into the starting lineup. Also under Slot he stayed fit a lot better than under Klopp was just the knee injury what was and accident near the end of the game against Madrid if am not mistaken rather than his normal muscle problems.
14 May 2025 11:27:41
Ed001 I think Jones has all the attributes to be a world class midfielder but as I’ve said before he is just not learning from the same mistakes he keeps making. If he could just speed up his game and play the simple ball fast he would be so much better. I heard Joleon Lescott talking to Rio about coaching the England squad and he could not stop talking about Jones and how good he was he described him as Englands best number 6 and how he had everything.
13 May 2025 14:11:27
In an ideal world Barry I would let Jota Nunez Diaz and chiesa go but I think it’s too much for one window so out of the Diaz stands heads and shoulders above the other three. Would be ideal if we did not renew his contract and sold him next summer keeping him on same wages for one more year.
06 May 2025 07:53:15
Redtill I think we should sell both left backs Robbo is going to keep costing us when he comes in after this summer he will only get worse. That’s when you see a drop off after the summer break his legs will go just a little bit more. I would like a first choice left back and give Owen beck a chance as cover or maybe try to pick up the guy out of contract from palace as competition.
27 Apr 2025 11:07:13
