Ed002
Real Madrid are rumoured to be ready to sell some players this summer, to help fund the Mbappe deal and maybe a couple of other new signings.
Of their existing players, will Tchouameni, Valverde, Rodrygo become available?

shughes55

{Ed002's Note - Rodrygo Goes (RW/S) Real Madrid have no interest in selling but PSG did ask for him as part of a deal for Mbappe before he let his contract run down. Many Liverpool fans think there is some sort of pre-contract to join them, but of course their isn't. He agreed a new contract at Real Madrid and won't be moving anytime soon unless something like €120M offer is made or he could perhaps be offered to Liverpool in an exchange for Alexander Arnold. There will always be interest in him and with Mbappe arriving he may need to make his way back to the RW position - although the wide positions are areas where Real Madrid want more depth.
Aurelien Tchouameni (CM/DM) Real Madrid do not wish to sell but recovering the money spent last year would go a long way towards topping up the Mbappe pot. Real Madrid has spoken to with Chelsea, who were previously blocked from completing negotions, about him during discussions over two other players and some sort of exchange may be possible. Bayern Munich have also told Real Madrid that they will be interested if he were to be made available, but they would like a loan with an option to buy although an exchange may be possible with Davies. Manchester United would be interested in taking him if available. There is no declared interest from elsewhere and any move seems unlikely with Arsenal already signing Rice. Previously illegally tapped up by Klopp but Liverpool have other targets.
Federico Valverde (CM) New contract and staying.}

What do you think of a deal involving Rodrygo for Trent Ed’s? Not so much whether it could happen but do you think it would make any sense for us?

{Ed001's Note - no, it would be crazy to let Trent go.}


2.) 25 Mar 2024 19:14:31
Rodrygo for Trent?
wtf
Looking forward to trent returning to the team.


 

 

10 Mar 2024 08:44:31
Also, taxi driver bringing me home from Lime St on Friday said him and his mate speak regularly to Jan Molby in a pub in Heswall.
Molby said he would be gobsmacked if Alonso doesn’t accept the managers job, and that Xabi loves the city and the club.

Proper rumour that! haha.


3.) 10 Mar 2024 10:41:47
My take on the alonso comes down to one thing. How easy does he want it.
If he goes to bayern, he's gona clean up pretty easy, it's like why Rodgers went to celtic, pretty much guaranteed success.
At least at Liverpool a bit more effort is needed, and it's a better achievement when done.


4.) 10 Mar 2024 11:53:16
If Alonso's ambition is to coach Real Madrid, as has been mooted, he may see Bayern as the ideal stepping stone. Almost guaranteed to win the Bundesliga and then take over from Ancelotti.

Agree, spoil his legacy with Leverkusen but football is not a sentimental business.

Would we want a coach who has eyes for another? I'm not convinced his love for Liverpool is as strong as people think.

Personally, I like to see a track record. How someone handles adversity. This season has been a dream for Leverkusen but it is only one season and coincided with Bayern falling off a cliff.

Rubien Amorim did well at Braga and then immediately at Sporting. After a dodgy last season they have sprung back strongly, well placed to win the league again. Impressive!

Of course he does not have much experience playing or managing outside of Portugal, which is a risk, but he comes across very well and I think a good fit for Liverpool. Seems to develop players and creates a strong team culture.

We like getting players from the Primeira, why not a manager? :)

{Ed002's Note - Alonso is not seeing Bayern Munich as a "stepping stone" - the Real Madrid is not available so he is not "almost certain to take over from Ancelotti". Winning the Bundesliga will certainly make it tough leaving this summer - particularly to Bayern. Liverpool have him as a very clear first choice but recognise he may not be an option but they may well, according to a prominent coach, face serious competition for Amorim.}


5.) 10 Mar 2024 13:10:13
If I was Alonso I would be looking at the Liverpool job and wanting that over Bayern personally. Klopps pretty much already done a rebuild and we also have some very talented kids banging on the door. Couple of tweaks and he’s got a very interesting and exciting team that’s well placed to win things.
His only job at Bayern would be to win the German league, in a few months he will have ticked that off his Bucket list anyway, boring!


6.) 10 Mar 2024 21:28:49
Hmm Bayern Guarantees him a title? Really? Tell the current manager that! Some odd sentiments there!


7.) 10 Mar 2024 21:02:01
Just settle for Nagelsmann, please don't get hopes high on Alonso.


8.) 10 Mar 2024 22:46:36
Think we have got Alonso coming on as manager…. no announcement until end of season……. respect all parties when games and trophies still to be won,


9.) 11 Mar 2024 01:27:27
In my uneducated and not in-the-know opinion, I'd say he either stays with BL or takes the LFC job. this is as long as RM is not an option this summer (e. g Ancelotti wanting a break, internal issues etc)

I can't see him going to BM right now, I personally feel he'd rather move to another league than to a Bundesliga competitor just simply because he seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't move to a direct competitor right away, I think he's too much of a gentleman.

So I think most likely he stays for another season or comes to us. all just an opinion.


10.) 11 Mar 2024 05:03:42
Jan Molby in a pub! Who wouldve guessed ;-)


11.) 11 Mar 2024 08:16:19
I once told Jan to stop queue jumping. I was waiting to get into The Tavern in New Brighton (this was in 1996 when he lived in Rockland Road in Wallasey and was still, technically playing for us) . He'd just waltzed in front of loads of people on the pretence he was talking to 2 women he knew. He was blatantly trying to jump in. I said, "Eh Jan, the bar's not going anywhere and nor is the queue till you get back. "

He was actually really nice and apologised to everyone. He only stayed 20 minutes in the club.


12.) 13 Mar 2024 15:31:21
1985mikey1985 - The rebuild might actually be a problem more than a solution. If you watched Leverkusen play at all under Alonso you would know he doesn't play the same way as klopp nothing really alike. Alonso style is similar to Guardiola so although Klopp done the rebuild he rebuilt it in his image and not the next managers who plays a different style to that of the player bought in, unless the players can adapt to Alonso he will need replacements and technically start of another rebuild for Alonso. Granted the players may be able to change but wouldn't hold your breath.


 

 

07 Feb 2024 18:04:22
Ed002 are you aware of any contact being made with Leverkusen or Alonso representatives by Liverpool/ FSG?

shughes55

{Ed002's Note - I understand that Liverpool are one of the clubs that has spoken to his representatives but I don’t think it has gone any further than that right now. They are taking advice and he is certainly a serious consideration.}


1.) 07 Feb 2024 22:00:47
Spot on Ed002 thanks.
Who would you say out of the other options would be a good option?
Amorim for me maybe?

{Ed002's Note - perhaps Nagelsmann.}


2.) 08 Feb 2024 06:15:42
Alonso for me. Nagelsman hasn't impressed. I reckon it'll be alonso.


3.) 08 Feb 2024 08:18:44
Nagelsmann hasn’t impressed either, there was that business with the journalist (which has echoes of his Rodgers conducted himself), the stories that his tactics confused the Bayern players so they just ignored him and he’s not exactly setting the world alight as Germany manager. But plus he won’t be available until after the Euros so makes no sense employing someone who can’t make adequate plans for the season going forward. I’d like to think it would be Alonso but we’ve got an uphill battle with Bayern and potentially Madrid also sniffing around.


4.) 08 Feb 2024 09:21:19
Do Liv need to pay some sort of compensation to be able get him Ed? Do both clubs need to agree a fee before we can speak directly to him? Assuming he wants and agree to replace Klopp of course.

{Ed002's Note - Compensation would need to be paid. Liverpool can speak directly to him only when BL give permission.}


5.) 08 Feb 2024 11:21:23
Press getting over excited about this today. Claiming Alonso is agreed and he is bringing Wirtz, Hincappe and Frimpong with him.

Awesome if true but I won't hold my breath.

{Ed002's Note - Obviously it is untrue.}


6.) 08 Feb 2024 16:09:51
Alonso intrigues me so much. What a brilliant football mind who seems to also have the natural people/ leadership skills/ instincts you can't teach. The cynics who are pessimistic about "fit" seem to incorrectly assume that he'd come into LFC and try to change their identity and style too quickly. The best managers assess what they have, what is available in the market, and strategize from that. We did that with Klopp and we'll do that with a new manager, and I'm hopeful it's Alonso.


7.) 09 Feb 2024 23:36:22
Has to be Alonso, and I would imagine that he would recommend his coaching team and maybe a couple of players, usually a new manager would want to know how much he would have to spend in the summer transfer window.


8.) 11 Feb 2024 22:28:05
Anyone watch the big game in Germany last night, very good game and Alonso team, really well coached and looked like scoring all thru the game. Harry Kane didn't get a look in. Very impressed how Alonso set his team up. This is the Man to take over from Klopp.


 

 

26 Jan 2024 16:30:36
Ed002

I’m now resigned to not signing anyone in this window especially after todays news, the club would want the new manager to assess what he thinks he needs.
Out of all the managers out there right now, who would joy say would be a good fit for Liverpool.

shughes55

{Ed002's Note - If there is a clear need and the right player at the right price, then it would be wrong to not improve the team.}


1.) 26 Jan 2024 17:13:23
With Klopp having a habit of lying over and over again, he will be back in the PL there seems to be more than just been exausted and why he said he will speak more at end of season. Trust him as much as my ex.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think this is the time to have a pop at him mate..

While this is sad news it is good timing, I am sure that potential managers will be having a good long hard think about do they want this wonderful job rather than LFC having to make a quick fix decision.

Thank you Jurgen, YNWA!

Love Xabi Alonso style, not sure whether too early in his career to be thrown into the deep end of a top PL team?

De Zebri could be a shout.

Not super familiar with managers in other leagues.

I'm so glad that Jurgen is a Red.

27 Mar 2024 16:29:00
Arsenal - Would take Martinelli for Diaz he is a better finisher and I rate him highly

Man City - Foden to replace Salah if he was to leave, and even though his gob annoys the crap out of me

Aston Villa - Martinelli again as back up keeper if Kelleher was to leave, he is a solid keeper

Spurs - Son = Simply their best player.

shughes55

{Ed025's Note - i dont want to sound like the spelling police but Villa,s keeper is Martinez hughesy, Martinelli would get chipped every game mate.. :)


1.) 27 Mar 2024 17:31:20
Martínez is not moving to another club to be backup. If anything, I see him leaving Villa in the summer for a more “glamorous” club.

Foden is simply class. What a talent!

{Ed025's Note - hes a horrible little fink for me Alonso, but very talented..


2.) 27 Mar 2024 17:48:07
Alonso
Foden? Curtis Jones is better ????.

{Ed025's Note - say no to drugs..


3.) 27 Mar 2024 18:54:06
Martinelli has less goals than Diaz this season.

I think both players are very good and I’d say looking at their numbers both could be better finishers.


4.) 27 Mar 2024 21:53:56
Just don’t like Foden…. he is too Manc.

It would be like having someone from Oasis play with the Beatles…. They might know how to play but it just wouldn’t be right.


5.) 27 Mar 2024 22:19:35
@Ed25 - Bernardo Silva is WAY worse than Foden. Silva is a fantastic footballer but I cannot stand the guy. Singing on the bus. Not giving us the guard of honour. And many other examples of his despicable behaviour as a human being. It’s like he is obsessed with us, which is strange considering how successful City have been.

@Irish Rover - Jones is one of ours but Foden is… I’ll let you fill out the rest ?.

{Ed025's Note - im not a fan of Bernardo either Alonso, great player but an absolute tosser of a person mate, mind you there are quite a few of them knocking about..


6.) 28 Mar 2024 00:37:00
Bernardo's clearly been eyeing the City exit for a while now but the football financial landscape has become so skewed now that only a couple of clubs outside England could afford him unless he was to go to Saudi.


7.) 28 Mar 2024 08:06:18
Foden is overrated no doubt doesn’t show in big games. He was shocking for England. Good player but not going to be remembered as one of the best that’s for sure.


8.) 28 Mar 2024 10:23:47
Silva is an absolute wind up merchant. Plenty of them about and lots of rival fans think Similar of Robbo.

I’d categorise Suarez and El Hadj Diouf etc as showing despicable behaviour over someone drinking a cup of tea during a guess of honour.


9.) 28 Mar 2024 11:05:51
Nah, OP. Martinelli is not comparable at all to Diaz's in terms of sheer ability as a true winger/ wideman. IMO, Diaz is a true 1 v 1 demon who can rip near any FB inside or outside dress him down, stand him up, get past him, cut inside him, the absolute lot. He can attack a low block and as well, get in behind with true pace and trickery. His finishing and decision making in the final third is what he needs to work on, IMO. That's it.

Martinelli for me, is a good player BUT too much of a one to two trick pony at best who can't function vs a true low block (Arsenal fans say this all the time, btw) without acres of space to run into or in behind. Without that, he is has near NO effect on the game (see how Bradley shut him down easily in his debut game in the FA Cup. Oh, and Martinelli is nowhere near the 1 v 1 dribbler Diaz is. Just my take.


10.) 28 Mar 2024 23:46:30
“Fink” - great word Ed. My old man RIP used to call me it as a kid.

{Ed025's Note - it was used a lot when i was a kid Ron.. :)


 

 

03 Mar 2024 07:36:40
11 games to go for the red men.
Out of everything we are going for this is the one we want.
9 wins will be enough for me (90 points) provided one of those wins is against City next week.
Come on the red men keep grinding out wins, and let’s give Jurgen Norbert Klopp a leaving present to remember!

shughes55

1.) 03 Mar 2024 09:37:56
Totally agree on the 90 points to win it and the 3 against city are the biggest 3 points we could wish for . Half hoping city draw Arsenal in the champions league aswell as I feel them playing each other 3 times in the run in could be a massive boost to us . We all know how much those domestic European games take out of you as a club and fans . Here’s for wishing it in to existence ??.


2.) 03 Mar 2024 10:21:30
I think if we get btw 94 and 96 points (just to be sure), we'll win the title. Here's to hoping.


3.) 03 Mar 2024 13:20:14
It leaves me with a dirty taste in my mouth and I'll scrub in the bath later, but I'm going to be a red Manc supporter just for the afternoon.
I'm going to feel violated by the end.

Ed001
What’s the update on injuries? Been great 5 days with the youth players showing their worth but I will be relieved when Mo, Dom, Darwin and Trent return.

shughes55

{Ed001's Note - Mo, Dom and Darwizzy are meant to be fit for the weekend. Jones and Gravenberch are expected back the following weekend. Trent, Ali and Bajcetic are probably not going to play in March, maybe the final game at best. Jota is not expected back until mid-April.}


1.) 29 Feb 2024 07:31:51
Good man ed1, good to see a nice clear lay out of the injuries.


2.) 29 Feb 2024 07:36:42
Ed1. Ali seems to pick up an awful lot of injuries for a goalkeeper, seems he misses a lot of games threw the years. Am I right in saying that do u think?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know, I have never really looked at what others are getting in terms of injuries nowadays. Players in general miss more games these days.}


3.) 29 Feb 2024 08:16:34
Ali definitely misses more games than the average goalkeeper.

Our long term injury record worries me. I don't yet want to blame staff because I don't have enough information, but every year we go through this and it's probably cost us a league title or two, IMO. We haven't had a good season injury-wise since we won the league, which isn't a coincidence.

Ali shouldn't be injured this often, considering how efficiently he moves his body around, unlike someone like Pickford.

It just feels like every time we get a full squad back, another 3, 4 or 5 suddenly go down for another prolonged period of time. We can never get in front of the 8 ball. And then you look at City, whom apart from the odd KDB injury don't seem to have any troubles with it.


4.) 29 Feb 2024 09:39:28
You should consider the fact that Ali plays far more like an outfield player than most keepers. He does far more with the ball at his feet outside of the traditional keeper requirements therefore is more likely than most keepers to pick up 'outfield' injuries.


5.) 29 Feb 2024 11:56:48
Supposing we get through this period unscathed (up to now the players have been incredible) and the injuries clear up soon, might the injuries to key players become an asset rather than a liability? We’ve played the last 3 games with half a team of starters and haven’t had a fully available squad since December - a lot of our big players have played fewer minutes this season and will be very fresh heading into the last part of the season, all the while our rivals will be getting ever more tired. Just a thought.


6.) 29 Feb 2024 12:05:06
ShipleyKopite, exactly. It's like people just make such statements about Ali picking up injuries without actually considering the things he is asked to do which he does at an extremely high level) and the toll that can take on him physically especially on his calves and hamstrings which are the muscles he uses majority of the time. And the comparison to Pickford is just cringe.

I understand the frustration and all that BUT you cannot just ignore the actual things and duties he (and the other players) are asked to do and how much of a toll these things can take on their bodies esp. the muscular side of things. There are both sides to this.


7.) 29 Feb 2024 12:30:08
Massive well done to the kids and fit seniors once again. It cannot be understated how well they have done over the last 3 games and whenever called upon throughout the season so far.

But, it's time to bring back some of the big guns now. Really hope we see Mo, Darwin and Dom back for the weekend. We need them.


8.) 29 Feb 2024 12:38:19
Everyone has different genetic make up and muscle fibres and movement patterns.

It has nothing to do with how many back passes Allison has to deal with etc.

And a lot of the time misfortune can come into it. For every elite athlete that pulls, strains or tears a muscle they are conducting a movement plane that their body has performed millions of time before without becoming injured.

When players injure a primary muscle then more strain is placed on the support muscle and vice versa hence why injuries can appear frequent.

Similar to how a niggle will effect someone walking or
Running subconsciously to doing it comically and then this will likely alternate the movement pattern and gait
For example has anyone ever walked with a limp due to an ankle injury and then after a while feel discomfort in their shins, knees or even hamstrings.

It’s because the body is accustomed to that individuals movement pattern over years and the slightest change makes a world of difference.


9.) 29 Feb 2024 12:45:38
Ed001, what about Wataru Endo?

{Ed001's Note - sorry he should have been with the first group as he is expected to be fit to play at the weekend.}


10.) 29 Feb 2024 12:53:06
Sorry to finish off my point being is everyone differs.

Unfortunately some might be more prone to niggles and injuries than others and luck can play a part.


11.) 29 Feb 2024 14:52:59
I agree with all you have said, JK23. Everything is on the table (including the amount of back passes, runs to cover spaces as a sweeper keeper etc. ) . What I don't like is the innuendo I seem to deduce by people on this topic going after or appearing to go after AB1 for picking up injuries, making him look or sound injury-prone which is absolute waffle, IMO.


12.) 29 Feb 2024 15:43:12
I guess I'm a little surprised by the extend of Alisson's injury. There's no particular reason for my surprise, but I didn't think initially that the time out would be that much. I guess I didn't pay attention to the original reports close enough, haha.

Hopefully, the squad can hold down the fort until everyone returns.


13.) 29 Feb 2024 16:14:25
I’d also like us to replace Linders but we would probably need 3 people for that.

I’m thinking Jk Rowling as one so we’ve not lost the ability to release a book and then John Terry as the other as he’s easy to hate and he can fulfil the fall guy category and then lastly Steve McClaren who can replace Pep’s media duties with his Dutch accent.

Jobs a good un.

12 games from lifting the big one
1080 minutes (although more like 1260 minutes these days)
Man City at Anfield is a colossal game.

Up the pool.


2.) 22 Feb 2024 08:43:10
Problem is with city game is even a draw means Arsenal go first.


3.) 22 Feb 2024 09:07:27
The next 5 games are critical (actually all 38 games are ?) . ManCity play ManU, Liverpool and Arsenal. Arsenal play Newcastle, Chelsea and ManCity. We play ManCity. On paper it looks like we have a less perilous path. But you never know. Lower half teams always seem to be banana skins for us.


4.) 22 Feb 2024 09:19:34
Coulred, Klopp simply refuses to lose and he has instilled this spirit of defiance all thru this team and squad in general, kids included.

Arsenal to draw against Newcastle this weekend. Mark my words ?.


6.) 22 Feb 2024 13:18:31
Newcastle to beat Arsenal.


7.) 22 Feb 2024 14:26:21
Mr Bean, what you mean is Arsenal go first if they win all of their games. Which they won’t.

Teams won’t always roll over for them like West Ham and Burnley did and in tight games they struggle to score goals.


8.) 22 Feb 2024 15:43:58
Irish, hope not, I have captained Saka!


9.) 22 Feb 2024 16:12:35
Did Luton roll over for us in the 2nd half last night. Or do teams only roll over for our rivals.


10.) 22 Feb 2024 18:47:19
Sometimes JK they do yes. You always know when a team rolls over for you as they offer nothing and just give up as soon as they are behind.

Some roll over against Liverpool, City and Arsenal and some don’t roll over so you have to work hard to break them down which is my entire point. Liverpool and City can break stubborn defences down because we have goal scorers in the team.

Arsenal’s whole plan to unlock defences is to score from a set piece because they don’t have forward players good enough to do it in tight games.

I’m not sure what point you are trying to make other than trying, and failing, to be clever.

@ArAy1969, I can see a draw happening, just like I saw the Chelsea result at the Empty Crate happening. Hope my gut feeling happens.


@Mr. Bean, no one cares about Arsenal, man. We don't play them anymore and if they win all their games and we win all of ours (including City at Anfield), we win the title and they finish 2nd or 3rd. Facts don't care about feelings.

Beckers fair enough mate. Good reply that. I suppose Everyone sees games differently mate.

Kelleher
Bradley Konate VVD Robertson
Wataru Mac Allister Jones (hopefully)
Diaz Nunez Salah

Subs: Elliott Gakpo Gravenberch Gomez Quansah

That’s still plenty strong enough to do the current Chelsea team next weekend despite all of the injuries we have, Chelsea are playing better, but tbh Man City where poor yesterday and if we can keep Sterling out of the game, Chelsea are not great without him.

Well capable of beating Chelsea that team but Chelsea will be v dangerous. seen them in big games against the top teams and they've been v Hood at home but not so good away, they v poor at anfield + old Trafford. I'm sure they will turn up for a final tho and they well capable of winning also. id have been confident winning tho before the injuries, tren5,szobo, jota and Jones are massive misses to us from starting team if all 4 out which i think they will be, maybe szobo a chance. 1st is luton wed nite tho! They playing today against utd which should give us good advantage as v hard for the teams at bottom with there small squads to play 2 big games in 4 days.

As long as we turn up for our final which I’m not sure we have done performance wise in the past then we should have too much for this Chelsea side.

Our last few finals

Chelsea twice
Real twice
Spurs

We didn’t really perform to our ability in any of them despite the fact we won 3 of them. But only 1 in normal time.

Our depth is crazy good.


4.) 18 Feb 2024 10:19:43
Did anybody hear Jurgen say that the only thing that matters is the Luton game. There are no plans for who plays against Chelsea until we have played Luton.


5.) 18 Feb 2024 11:21:12
Luton is far more important.


6.) 18 Feb 2024 11:24:42
Champions league came around at just the right time and messed up City’s Rhythm.


7.) 18 Feb 2024 12:04:57
We have some decent strength in depth at the moment. If the above suggested team plays to it's ability, we should win. Luton first though, no easy games.


8.) 18 Feb 2024 13:46:54
Still having Trent, Szobo, Jota, Nunez and Jones injured is far from ideal. Hoping that Nunez and Jones aren’t so serious. The other 3 I’ve no idea.


9.) 18 Feb 2024 15:10:28
Err, was the Luton game postponed or something? If not, why are we talking about the game after it?

I would rather gouge my own eyes out with a rusty fork than share a stadium with Everton, this was done to death years ago when Everton realised they didn’t have a carrot ? and they pushed for a shared stadium on Stanley Park when H&G started the I’ll fated scheme with Laing O’Rourke.
It was never meant to be, our rivalry is part of our heritage and the blues new stadium is amazing to be honest but it will never be blessed with silverware like Anfield!

{Ed025's Note - "rivalry is part of our heritage" is very true....the rest is garbage..

Spot on Ed002 thanks.
Who would you say out of the other options would be a good option?
Amorim for me maybe?

{Ed002's Note - perhaps Nagelsmann.}

I think City will draw two games and one of those will be Arsenal and the other Spurs
I think Arsenal will lose one and draw two of their remaining games.
I think Liverpool will finish the season with 8 more wins and a couple of draws
We pip Pep to the title on the last day by a pube!
