I know this has been asked previously but I’m hearing a lot at the moment of us being genuinely interested in Musiala. do you see this one happening or have you heard anything that confirms our interest?

{Ed002's Note - Jamal Musiala (AM/LW) Bayern Munich will have no interest in selling the player back to Chelsea who have enquired but the player is delaying a new contract and needs to reduce his demands. Real Madrid has a declared interest. Manchester City have asked Bayern Munich for talks over the player as a de Bruyne replacement, but they will resist and keep pushing for a new contract. There has been no approach from Liverpool.}

Brilliant player.

Would accept reinvestment of a Salah Saudi sale on Musiala.

If that doesn't work, hopefully Musialowski could be our Musiala.

19 Mar 2024 19:03:16
I’d imagine the sale of Salah would only cover 50~75% of the fee for Musiala.

Qns for ed002
With the Anfield Road stand almost complete, the stadium will be nearing 61,000 in capacity.

Just wondering are there any plans to expand the Kenny Daglish stand to add perhaps another 4000 seats? (I believe it was way back in 2000? Where about 20k were on wait list of season tickets and there were projections that Anfield can regularly host 65,000).

Not sure practically if it's feasible and financially sensible though. Thought to ask and see if you have any insights?

{Ed002's Note - No. It is not possible.}

Agree1 Disagree3

16 Mar 2024 15:55:35
thanks for the reply. guess that's that for the expansion at least for now.

16 Mar 2024 16:10:42
sgynwa, as I understand it, we have reached our optimum capacity, without building a train station, in the local area and improving the infrastructure. Anyone who goes to games knows what a nightmare it is to get away after a match, so to add further capacity would just add to the problem, as things stands. Like most grounds in the country, they were built in an era when there were no cars.

16 Mar 2024 16:55:02
We should have done a ground share with Everton at Albert Dock. Could have been state of the art and internationally renowned. Would have been a great resource for the city. Would have stopped Everton getting points deduction too which may have helped them be less bitter, bringing the city together. Imagine all the people, living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer.

16 Mar 2024 19:12:46
Just a working class hero @stoneage ??.

16 Mar 2024 20:26:41
Not sure ed25 would want to share a ground with a premier league club ?.

{Ed025's Note - i actually advocated that years ago Ace, a joint one could have been the best in the world mate, but your tight fisted minge bag owners would sooner repair your tin shack that we gave you many moons ago.. :)

16 Mar 2024 21:59:58
Just imagine the spectacles that a joint stadium could produce. One week its Liverpool vs Barcelona, the next Everton vs Dagenham and Redbridge.

16 Mar 2024 22:03:43
Just out of interest, with this shared stadium nonsense, who would have disinfect it after the blues played?

That stink lingers.

17 Mar 2024 00:33:12
It’s never too late ed25.

{Ed025's Note - i think that ship has sailed aoe, it could have been a spectacular stadium though and for me would have brought the city together and more importantly the people, the national stadium of the north that could not only host football but other sports as well, concerts, shows and events that would be the envy of every big city worldwide...alas not everyone has my vision mate.. :)

17 Mar 2024 05:43:28
Don't Everton still owe rent after their moonlight flit from anfield.

{Ed025's Note - we felt sorry for you KC as you were playing on an old field with jumpers as goalposts mate, you were a charity case back then and we felt sorry for you.. :)

17 Mar 2024 07:29:40
For those born in and around Liverpool and those who have adopted it and love the city too, it would have been a great move.

I love Anfield to bits - so many great memories, good and bad, so many great times and so many, many funny moments - but we should be looking to the future of the club and, in the bigger picture, the economic future of the City.

We missed a really big chance for the club and the city which, in my honest opinion, is a genuine shame.

{Ed025's Note - absolutely WDW..

17 Mar 2024 07:43:30
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..

17 Mar 2024 10:09:18
I think the club will regret not agreeing to the joint stadium. It could have been the world’s best and sent Liverpool right to the top of the income chart. I know it’s not the main thing but you will never get the chance again.

The Kenny stand is already outdated as it the relatively small Kop.

17 Mar 2024 09:41:24
Would it or could it have been possible to build a super stadium @ stanley Park a travel down from Scotland and en route the hairs on the back of my neck stand a love the people also so friendly and talkative love the accent and to top it all off ma best mate whilst in the army was a scouser.

17 Mar 2024 13:03:10
Don’t think it’s looking good for expansion anytime soon, if ever actually. I believe there are issues with infrastructure capping the capacity but the big one is there isn’t room to make the stadium much bigger. The only way I think it would be possible would be to knock the Kop down and build a multi tier stand but it’s probably not financially viable and I think they will want to keep the Kop single tier with tradition. At least with the other 2 stands that have been expanded they could do it around the current stand so as to not affect capacity as the works are being done.
It’s a shame as we could sell out 80k regularly if not more and getting tickets for 60k is still a pain in the arse but I’m glad we have stayed at Anfield and I like the fact our stadium doesn’t look like the majority of big modern stadiums.

17 Mar 2024 13:22:58
Pretty crazy that while the world is talking about how special Anfield is and how the atmosphere discombobulates oppositions, that we're here talking about potentially sharing a new ground with Everton. Come on.

Staying at Anfield and developing in-situ was an excellent decision by FSG in my opinion. The mystique of Anfield is part of our identity. There's nothing like stepping out onto the stands on matchday - especially under the lights.

By all means start dialogue with all the parties involved in a potential expansion, but don't sell part of our identity and advantage for a soulless shared stadium. If we have to wait for FSG to sell before we explore the possibility of further expansion, then so be it. We have an amazing stadium now.

Plus, going into any kind of business venture with Everton is a terrible idea.

17 Mar 2024 08:38:58
The 1 big advantage liverpool fc have always had on any rival, certainly domestically, is that we play at anfield. its a fantastic stadium with a unique atmosphere when going gets tight. No doubt our trophy cabinet would be lighter if we played somewhere else.
Im not fsg biggest fan but them renovating anfield as opposed to moving i 120% agree with them.
Our stadium is envy of manys a opposition manager+team, why take away that. No disrespect to everton or ed25 but it would suit them much better than us.

17 Mar 2024 11:58:36
Ed025 I think it’s great on some aspects but derby day going to each others grounds adds to the game.
So not for me. I would never want to leave Anfield to move to a new stadium on our own or sharing it’s where our heart is.
Anfield could be further extended in the future with the kop it’s just the A road issue. As for the KD stand obviously it’s the houses behind and the mess with the houses bought behind the main stand. As for transport there is talk about opening the old line what would be close enough to make the ground eligible for a larger capacity.
If there is still a high demand for seats with the money in brings into the city with fans coming from all over the country and world am sure the council and club could sort out all issues.

{Ed025's Note - I just thought it would be great for the city Grino. Bring the supporters closer together and all that mate..

17 Mar 2024 13:37:48
I'am with you Ed it would be great for the, brilliant events could be put on bringing lots of needed revenue. As you say maybe it could have been around 80,000- 85,000 seats, split the costs more sustainable for both clubs.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Alf, i think we missed a trick there mate, imagine a stadium that was state of the art with great transport links and a credit to this great city that could have been the envy of every European club mate, all the top European finals and internationals as well as great music stars..it would have been great imo..

17 Mar 2024 14:11:08
Ed025 me and you talked about that before how we would love to go back to the mid 80s where it the city of Liverpool vs the world but like you said to me it’s gone to far now. And it looks it’s only getting worse with the younger generation.

{Ed025's Note - i wish we were wrong grino but unfortunately we are not mate, now i know we are talking utopia here but being nice to others should not be beyond the realms of possibility, but maybe im an old fuddy duddy and respect does not mean as much as it used to, its a sad old world my friend..

18 Mar 2024 00:52:32
By that same rationale why not just share with lots of teams in the northwest. Bring the whole north west together, bring cities together it can be state of the art with great transport links and host loads of events there, it would be the envy of everyone else to see how together the north west is, imagine United, Everton, Liverpool, city all sharing one stadium . Really would bring the people together. Great for the area.

20 Mar 2024 02:48:51
Everton didn't give Anfield to Liverpool, it's actually the other way round. Everton were John Houlding's tenants, and then he made his own team - Liverpool.

16 Mar 2024 13:37:40
Who is this pedro Marquez kid from benfica we are chasing lord ed2? Ta very muchly.

{Ed002's Note - Pedro Marques (TD) Technical Director at Benfica after working for the City Group. Is known to be of interest to Liverpool after a well respected advisor to the club recommended him. Turned down a role at Roma recently.}

Agree1 Disagree7

16 Mar 2024 14:24:39
Cheers, sounds like we are trying to build a good team upstairs.

17 Mar 2024 01:01:57
I like how we're going about our recruitment for behind-the-scenes. I also like how we're not just lazily going for the glitzy names like United are with Dan Ashworth. I think his recruitment in the summer really screwed Newcastle over this season. Most of those signings weren't going to equip Newcastle well for the Champions League. After looking into Richard Hughes' record, I'm cautiously impressed although it remains to be seen whether he can do it at a higher level. But we will still have the team of Michael Edwards, Dave Fallows and Barry Hunter to help him out.

14 Mar 2024 15:24:35
ED2. posting 2nd time. just wanted your opinion who according to you will be worthy replacement for Klopp.

{Ed002's Note - Julian Nagelsmann (C) perhaps.}

Agree2 Disagree11

14 Mar 2024 16:55:13
Maybe technically okay for the job but Nagelsmann maybe not suited temperamentally…. don’t know if LFC fans would take to him. Tough to come in after Klopp.

If we can’t get Xabi I wouldn’t mind if Pep had a go…. My thinking there would be that if it was a success then great and if not Klopp might come back after a year off recharging his batteries.

14 Mar 2024 18:40:37
Why keep asking the same questions?

15 Mar 2024 01:24:35
If we can’t get Alonso it’s Amorim for me. Next best thing. As for Nagelsmann is a big no for me and probably most other Liverpool fans. I trust Edwards to land either one of the two I mentioned.

15 Mar 2024 07:09:15
Nagelsmann was unfairly fired by Bayern. His style of play is very good and unpredictable against park bus team. His Leipzig team easily defeated Athletico Madrid in past.

15 Mar 2024 07:35:52
Few things to think about here. Alonso may feel his chance will come around again when he has more experience under his belt.

There is also the poison chalice aspect, some managers may think they would prefer to be the manager after the next manager.

JN would be a good fit all round I think. Similar style of play, young and dynamic.

15 Mar 2024 08:03:11
The Liverpool jobs not a bus andy. Pass up the chance to get onboard now and it may never come around again. Some other new coach could be flavour of the month by then.

15 Mar 2024 08:07:41
Rather have jn than pep, we need to keep an open mind as much as people think alonso is nailed on he isn’t . would trust ed2 more than most.

15 Mar 2024 08:21:31
Do you think Pep would leave City? ?.

15 Mar 2024 08:43:27
I would give it to pep for a year, now ME is back let’s just let things organically progress, my fear is any new manager may bring wholesale changes rather than nurture what we have. Pep would keep things pretty similar I reckon, what do you lads think?

15 Mar 2024 12:01:15
The same pep that people wanted out of the club not so long ago for having to much influence on the team? I've watched sporting a few times and I'm not convinced by amorim if we couldn't get alonso id rather Michel from girona or naaglesmann, just my opinion though ;)

{Ed002's Note - You can forget Michel.}

15 Mar 2024 14:07:44
We should look at Simone Inzaghi.

{Ed002's Note - Why? Would he be a good fit? Knows the English game well?}

15 Mar 2024 14:48:53
I have no idea why people would want Amorim over Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann is far more tested. Portuguese league is too unreliable a way to determine whether a manager is good enough for LFC.

15 Mar 2024 15:44:09
Is Michel lined up for another job ed? Surely fsg would've considered him with the job he's doing at girona.

{Ed002's Note - He is not available and not moving to Liverpool.}

15 Mar 2024 18:02:51
Still don’t get why anyone would want Nagelsmann after he made it absolutely clear he holds us as a club in nothing but contempt. He really should not be in any consideration for the job after what he said.

15 Mar 2024 18:19:45
Klopp has had the weight of half a city on his shoulders. Many would buckle under that pressure.
I imagine he will want a job with with less pressure next time around, like Real, where the team wins and wins, regardless. He would not be idolised in Real in the same way.

15 Mar 2024 18:50:38
@TB2, I think it’s some weird sort of therapy.

15 Mar 2024 19:44:28
I have heard a whisper that Alonso's camp have said he is very, very interested in the Liverpool job.

Just a whisper, could have been the cat.

15 Mar 2024 19:45:20
Is this a wind up Bastion?

15 Mar 2024 23:20:16
To all the Nagelsmann fans. Have a look into his antics, for lack of a better word from his time at Bayern. I’ll leave it there.

16 Mar 2024 01:07:08
Ed2 - do you know why nagelsman is getting a bit of a bad rep?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any bad reputation.}

16 Mar 2024 11:13:42
I suppose the ‘bad reputation’ has got to do with his personal life?

Not to sure if that’s a factor with the Liverpool fans.

Footballing wise, think he’s got a very good reputation, still developing his style fully but am still young and already one of the better managers amongst the next generation. Not sure he’s at the level of Klopp though, not yet at least.

{Ed001's Note - no, it is to do with a struggle to cope with egos and the way he gave exclusive intimate access to the players to his journalist gf, of a type that none of them were comfortable with. It was considered by many to be intrusive. She was pretty much there like she was on the coaching staff.

16 Mar 2024 11:34:16
This current version of Nagelsmann is giving me Brendan Rodgers vibes. Lairy jackets, skateboards and journo girlfriends. It trigggers memories of Brendan's summer glow up and new mistress.

Difficult to look past Alonso, with Amorim as the second choice. De Zerbi and Nagelsmann behind those two.

16 Mar 2024 15:57:07
thanks ed 01
oh whao, didn't know that
guess there was more to his sacking than I was aware.

18 Mar 2024 00:57:09
I actually agree with looking at inzaghi. Inter play great football, very positive and he's quite a galvanizing character.

If the reason against is 'doesnt know the English game' you'd be surprised at how much he loves the premier league and respects the way the game is played here, he's also a very big Liverpool fan too.

13 Mar 2024 00:09:56
Do we have any interest in the young Hungarian left back Kerkez, currently at Bournemouth?

{Ed002's Note - Milos Kerkez (LWB) Only joined in the summaer after picking Bournemouth over Lazio for game time. Down the list for Chelsea who have a much preferred target.}

Agree4 Disagree6

14 Mar 2024 08:17:13
He is not getting much game time at all he has been dropped for some shocking performances. Nowhere near good enough for Liverpool I would forget his name as you won’t be seeing it much at our end of the table.

12 Mar 2024 06:58:03
Ed2 I see some reports of Barcelona trying to sign Diaz this summer? Is that a possibility? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I have dealt with this before.}

Agree0 Disagree3

12 Mar 2024 12:55:05
Will Barcelona be able to afford the likes of Luiz Diaz?

I am not being Facetious Ed002, I genuinely do not know the state of there current financial situation.

{Ed002's Note - Barcelona's problems are wages so to add players they need to make room - and specifically need to make something like €250M of savings next season due to bonuses. Regardless what Deco says about keeping players, the likes of de Jong, Lewandowski, Christiansen, Raphina, Torres and Gundogan need to move on. Their issues are compounded by an FFP issue with EUFA in respoct of claiming future image rights now rather than for the applicable season. It is not a significant issue but UEFA want it to stop. They have some very good youngsters coming through like Lamine Yamal. They will look to offering players in part exchange. There may be interest in Diaz from the Middle East as well.}

12 Mar 2024 13:17:42
Thank You ED002, enjoy the rest of your day.

{Ed002's Note - Thanks.}

12 Mar 2024 14:06:03
I can see why a 27 year old player could be tempted by Barcelona. I have no idea why they might be tempted to go and semi-retire in the Middle East.

12 Mar 2024 14:30:23
johnnyr1970 - if you know where he and his family have come from, the opportunity of securing multi-generational wealth for his family and descendents might well trump a glittering sporting career and medal haul.

Same can be said of those big names that went to China a few years ago in the middle of their careers.

Difficult to dispute that decision if that is how they feel.

12 Mar 2024 15:05:15
Are we looking to sell Diaz? Might be interest from Barcelona but are we actively looking to move him on and if so are there any touted replacements of interest that you’ve heard on the grapevine?

{Ed002's Note - Replacing Salah would be far more important with Gagpo and Jota already at the club. Plenty of wide players who can play either side have been looked at.}

12 Mar 2024 15:59:53
Hi Ed002

Very informative as ever. Thank you!

Has Liverpool shown interest in any of Barcelona's younger players in recent times. Gavi was mentioned some time ago but I was thinking more under the radar names.

Perhaps you could share insights on who you think Liverpool should be looking at, if indeed Barcelona want to do a deal for Diaz?

While I am here, are you aware of anyone Liverpool is tracking as a possible replace for Diaz. Nico William appears likely to move this summer with many admirers.

Appreciate we have a few options for the LW in the squad already.

Much thanks!

{Ed002's Note - Raphinha is the only player where I know of interest.}

12 Mar 2024 16:03:17
Hi Ed002

Just seen you have replied to another person about possible Diaz replacements so feel free to ignore that part of my post.

Still intrigued to hear your thoughts on talent in the Barcelona academy we should be tracking.

Only if you have time, of course. :)

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool are not tracking anybody from the Barcelona Academy that I am aware of. Lamine Yamal is attracting interest from PSG but he cannot move to Liverpool.}

12 Mar 2024 19:57:47
Hi Ed002. Interesting thread, thanks.

From a football-business perspective, you say that de Jong, Lewandowski, Christiansen, Raphina, Torres and Gundogan need to move on to free up wages, but now they are signed to a contract on those wages how easy is it for Barce to sell them? The buying club would presumably have to match the (inflated? ) wage or else the player could decide that they would prefer to stay where they are.

The same applies to the 15 or so players that Chelsea are reportedly looking to offload this summer. If any of these are the players signed to 8 year contracts on high wages, unless a team can match those terms and conditions are Chelsea stuck with them?

{Ed002's Note - The situation at Barcelona and Chelsea is totally different. Not all Barcelona players have particularly high wages - they are working on it.}

13 Mar 2024 07:43:05
Diaz going nowhere this summer. Nothing to see here, move along.

13 Mar 2024 09:37:25
There isn’t one Barcelona player who they’re willing to offload that is worth considering in any case.

13 Mar 2024 15:54:05
Are PSG interested in luis Diaz, Ed?

{Ed002's Note - I would very much doubt it given the very clear targets identified already as potential Mbappe replacements.}

13 Mar 2024 18:54:19
Diaz is 1 of the first names on the team sheet and politely tell Barcelona to Fook off. Sell them Gakpo instead.

{Ed025's Note - yeah magico, but with the money you get you could buy a chicken with a head mate.. :)

13 Mar 2024 19:20:32
Thanks for the reply, Ed.

14 Mar 2024 08:06:01
Lol Ed025. Mind you, there's plenty of cocks at Barca.

{Ed025's Note - ain’t there just Jaw..

11 Mar 2024 12:51:58
Hi Ed002

I have seen us linked with the Sporting manager, Amorim, as well as some of their players (Inacio, Diomande) . I know you have said that Sporting don't wish to deal with Liverpool. My question is, will that change when Klopp departs?

{Ed002's Note - Amorim is an option if Liverpool cannot get their preferred target- Sporting will not want to lose him but there is also interest in him from elsewhere. I am not aware of any Liverpool interest in Ousmane Diomande and Sporting are already in discussions over a sale with another side. I understand there is still Liverpool interest in Ignacio - but there is interest from elsewhere.}

Agree1 Disagree15

11 Mar 2024 13:57:29
Thank you.

11 Mar 2024 14:10:15
Mate as the problem sporting had with us was klopp tapping up ugarte, with kloppo leaving us in summer will the relationship improve?

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea - they won't be happy if Liverpool pay off the buy out clause for Amorim and he moves.}

11 Mar 2024 19:35:45
Ed002 would i be right in assuming the answer to who is in talks with. diomande and interested in amorin would be the same answer and a club from west london?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea has had a long term interest in OD and offered a role to Amorim before Pochettino.}
