Hi Ed02

A Twitter account by name of WonderDogSparky (you may be familiar with it) has updated that Coutinho to Barcelona is effectively done, THIS month. And that Thomas Lemar to Liverpool as PipCo's replacement is in hand and should be completed.

Now am not sure how reliable WonderDogSparky is. But I know that YOU are. And yeah, I know Twitter is largely garbage and I should know better than to validate its rumours from.

Nonetheless, I beg for your confirmation or denial of the updates as offered by the Dog Wonder, Sparky.

Danke.

{Ed002's Note - From what I understand it is just business as usual for #WonderDogSparky as Pipco returns to say goodbye and removes they last of his belongings and someone moves in o Nobby's room until the summer. Usually WDS has two house guests at a tio perhaps someone else will come later in January. I am also told, but please don't tell anyone else, that a few old friends will be dropping by to say "Hi" in the coming weeks. Perhaps even the Dinsdale Brothers}

Ed002 your killing me mate lol. don't understand at all. RBL how do you get to Thomas Lemar being completed from the clues?

Ed2, any more clear cut clues? You lost me at #wonderdogsparky.

I don't have a clue either, I am ok with PC going if we get a top player instead. Not too bothered on exact position as long as player is of the required standard.

What about another clue ED002 for us mere mortals.

{Ed002's Note - I have repeatedly explained about potential replacements - there is nothing to add.}

Could it be Samir Handonovic? Plays in red, 6ft 4in and has the hand reference in his name?

Not sure if the mascara clue refers to VVD or Javier?

I’m thinking Javier, willshanks. He is an old friend and would prob be worthwhile on loan for rest of the season.

I def think the other reference is to Samir, Klopp is known to like him, and he has liked a few LFC posts on twitter recently. Supposed to be a cracking keeper and prob an excellent mentor for Karius?

{Ed002's Note - You would do best to just forget it all.}

Oh Ed002, I was getting all excited thinking we would actually have a decent keeper coming in! We need one!

This window only has 30 days left in it Gents so stop panicking and what will be will be and will soon play out.

I have to admit I find the curious case of WonderDogSpark very interesting, ED002 always tells us not to listen to anyone off Twitter yet gave us a twitter handle to follow for clues. So for me it's either a constant wind up to remind us how gullible we are, or it is in fact ed002s way of communicating what's happening without actually saying anything. The mystery lives on.

{Ed002's Note - It's the first.}

Just a "guess" on my part mate lol.
That said, I believe PipCo is a goner. I suspect PipCo and both teams committed to making the deal happen and now only a matter of closing it. My hunch that Coutinho has played his last game for Liverpool. And he knows it. Klopp, too, I believe.

Ed02 has provided a list of potential "replacements". I think LFC has identified its man and am convinced they presently looking to secure him and expect to do so.

Who that is I don't know, but am leaning towards Lemar. He was the man earmarked in the summer and we know Monaco be open to selling and the player open to a move.
Given especially his natural position, flexibility, CL experience (albeit be unavailable for us), he seems a suitable fit.
Monaco's high intensity play would stand him in good stead for our style.

The kid one of the most exciting of remarkable French young talents. He be up there in 2,3 years. I can see Klopp doing wonders with him.
A no-brainer for me. PipCo replacement don't have to be like-for-like, no. He just has to be phenomenal in his own way and bring something different to the table.

Thank you and good luck to Phil. Been awesome seeing his growth as a player all this time. Will be even more awesome seeing Lemar, VVD, Keita, Mane, Firmino, Salah, Trent. Difference to before is that we now have a very strong team, getting better and better and we likely to win more and stay competing at the highest level. We'll find it less difficult to keep our important players.

That WDS! pesky mutt.

My Guess. smooth hands, 6ft4, in Red. Donnarumma (I hope)

Could it, in fact, be Coutinho as the old friend moving back in for the remainder of the season, after signing for Barca?
Hope the Mascherano link is a misleading one. Spent enough time trying to get out the club. Donna rummy is wishful thinking in my opinion. Just wish Sparky could tell someone a secret.

Could be right Bobby. I hope we keep pip until the end of season if only for continuity. I can't see what Mascherano could offer long term so I hope there is no link and I don't believe in going backwards because its never the same.

Anyway, Labradoodles fart a lot and Javier is used to clean catalan air. also. does he have enough hair for restyling to LFC standards?

Now being linked with Sanchez too! Good player when he can be bothered but I don’t see him coming to Liverpool!

NO thanks to Sanchez. Didn’t want to come when he had the chance originally and he hasn’t covered himself in glory with his current contract situation.
