Ed02 if your about, I recall you mentioned recently, that there are a handful of young players that are very highly rated amongst the top echelons of football including yourself. If you have the time, Do you mind repeating the list or telling me a keyword to search for to find the post. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I have no way to provide a link and no recollection about what I said. But interesting in terms of centre backs, and knowing LFC will need one in the summer, the smart kids are looking at Jorge Mere (CB) of Cologne, Marseille's Boubacar Kamara (CB) and RBL's Ibrahima Konate (CB). Liverpool have taken a look at Egy Maulana Vikri (AM) - an Indonesian kiddie playing in Poland who has attracted plenty of attention.}

Cheers for the info Ed. When you say we will be looking at a CB do you mean a youngster then or a first team player to replace a likely departing one?

{Ed002's Note - It would not be a surprise to see Liverpool add a CB to the first team squad in the summer as they have looked at a couple.}

Any chance you could specify who it is Liverpool have looked at for CB for the first team Ed002?

Unless you have before and I have missed it?

Thanks for your time otherwise.

{Ed002's Note - Ruben Dias (CB) Liverpool have watched the Benfica CB on several occasions and watched him in a national game against Croatia in September.
Dael Fry (CB) Liverpool has a declared interest in Fry as they look to bolster the HG quota - knowing that prices will increase - much is expected of Fry.
I cannot say whether or not there is any firm interest in Lloyd Kelly (CB) nor Aidan Wilson who have been "recommended" to the club by an "agent" who I would recommend staying well clear of.}

Sorry if you’ve already said Ed and I’ve missed it but have you advised us who we have looked at as a CB recently?

{Ed002's Note - See above or below -not sure which but I have answered it.}

Cheers for the info Ed2, how are you mate?

{Ed002's Note - I am good man, thanks. January was five weeks of travel and fortunately I am generally at home for there weeks now - aside for a trip or two tho London. You must be pleased with the progress this season, Liverpool are better placed than they have been for many, many years o pick up the league title. Be nice to see it happen.}

Glad to hear you are good Ed2, sounds like you were in need of a good break after such a busy January!

Yes, I'm quite confident about this season, I really see us doing it, many will disagree and think the worst and I know anything is possible but I do think it's ours for the taking this time around. Fingers crossed lol!

Take care mate.

{Ed002's Note - Thanks.}

If I may ask Ed02, and I'm not asking whether Liverpool will eventually making a move for Vikry, but if any of English clubs try to, I believe it will be really really difficult to get a work permit, right?

Indonesia is currently ranked around 150+ in Fifa rankings. I believe ranking plays a huge part in obtaining work permit. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

{Ed002's Note - You are correct - a WP will be very, very dificult to obtain. The rules have changed but the player needs a minimum of four points and summary goes something like this:
- The value of the transfer fee (alone) that is to be paid is between the top 75% and 100% of all transfers to Premier League clubs in the previous 2 windows - 3 points
- The value of the transfer fee being paid for the player is between 50% and 75% of all transfers to Premier League clubs in the previous 2 windows - 2 points
- The basic wage (excluding bonuses) being paid to the player by the new club is in the top 25% of the top 30 earners at the club - 3 points
- The basic wage (excluding bonuses) being paid to the player by the new club is between 50% and 75% of all the top 30 earners at the club - 2 points
- Subjectively, the player’s current club is in a recognised "top" league and the player has played in 30% or more of the available domestic league minutes - 1 point
- The player’s existing club has played in the group stages or onwards of the Champions League, Europa League or the Copa Libertadores within the last 12 months and the player has played in 30% or more of the available domestic league minutes - 1 point.}

Thank you Ed002. Your knowledge and expertise never fails to suprise me.

It's such a tricky posistion for Klopp I'd say. I do actually believe the Centre backs we have are more than good enough to take us to the Premier League (personally) . But I also believe we definitely need one top class centre back as 3 of the 4 we have are ridiculously injury prone. I believe this a view shared by many and said countless times! I just hope Gomez can shrug off all his injuries and get a full season under his belt.

I don't know much about the names mentioned Ed002, I can see you have recommended we stay away from one. Would there be any centre backs you would recommend for LFC given our current CB situation?

{Ed002's Note - The three that are being watched by a number of other high profile sides.}

Jesus ed that's the nicest thing i've heard you say to our fans in ever! Nice to hear you happy, is militao a realistic option for us? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I would not get your hopes up about Eder Militao.}
