hi eds. have aston villa made an enquiry for illori? If so is it a loan or permanent enquiry
Cheers
{Ed001's Note - yes, along with Sunderland, for a loan.}

"Liverpool have signed midfielder Elijah Dixon-Bonner from Arsenal after he turned down a new contract at the Emirates Stadium."
another promising academy player enters the ranks
1.) 06 Jul 2015 15:08:39
Think he'll be in the U16s this year, rather than first year Academy - same year as Okera Simmonds. We'll see Yan Dhanda, Herbie Kane, Toni Gomes and Trent Alexander-Arnold join the academy proper this month though. Lot of talent this time round.

looks like ward is going to Aberdeen for a season long loan
1.) 26 Jun 2015 18:54:29
I've not seen much of the guy or Scottish football, is he expected to start there?
Cheers,
2.) 27 Jun 2015 10:20:40
I would think he will be number 1 keeper this year as Jamie 'Clangers' Langfield and Scott 'Dropsy' Brown and not good enough, Aberdeen finished 2nd behind Celtic last year and were by far the 2nd best team in Scotland. Yeah the SPFL is mikes behind Premier League but with Europa League qualifiers and hopefully good cup runs Ward will gain good experience. Aberdeen is a great city and love there football so if he does well he will be taken in by the fans and will be playing for an ambitious young Scottish manager in Derek McInnes. Hope the lad does well .

Hi Eds - appreciate all the hard you been doing over the summer.
I am personally really excited about the prospect of Super Mario coming the club.
Quick question though on Ibe - has a loan deal been done with Bolton? If not are there any premiership clubs interested in him on a loan basis? If yes any idea who they are?
Cheers
{Ed002's Note - He will be going to Bolton.}

Eds,
Do you know if Rodgers has his own PR manager?
I read his statement and it looked quite good from a PR perspective, or do the LMA help draft those type of statements?
Cheers
also thanks for the patience in dealing with the will it won't it manager frenzy!!
{Ed002's Note - He would have drafted a few words but it is standard template stuff from the LMA that he would have updated and they would have refined. I am pretty sure the statement about the club being in "transition" is his.}
1.) 05 Oct 2015 19:47:09
"In transition" are two words that I don't want to hear for a long time!
{Ed002's Note - They are in the press release today.}
2.) 05 Oct 2015 19:51:12
He had a lot of time to prepare it. Rumurs about him going exist for about a year.
3.) 05 Oct 2015 20:02:48
I like his words "the squad will grow over the coming weeks"
Translates as, now I'm gone they will get much better quickly
4.) 05 Oct 2015 20:02:57
Another way of deflecting the huge part he played in said "transition"
5.) 05 Oct 2015 20:50:35
cheers ed,
it looks to me he is trying to make it sound like if the team does well under the new manager he can collect some credit from it
"but they have some real talent and are showing a strong sense of togetherness."
"I expect to see them continue to grow and develop over the coming weeks"
Always the sales man!
{Ed002's Note - I agree.}
6.) 05 Oct 2015 22:15:37
We've been in transition since around 1996. It's about time we weren't.
04 Oct 2015 18:31:23
is it just me or is it every time I read quotes from Rodgers it reads like he is pitching the owners to keep his job?
He constantly goes on about rebuilding, bedding in new players, losing quality players etc etc etc!
The guy needs to take a reality check.
we did not deserve to win today no matter what Mr Rodgers says in his deluded post match press comments
our reality = world is round
Rodgers world - we live on Saturn with Umpa Lumpa slave drivers controlling us
rant over

Hi Eds
hope you are all well.
I look at other sports, such as athletics (Oregon project as an example) where they are very scientific and methodical in there training approach, how do the premier league clubs in general rank alongside other sports in this type of training and where would you rank us compared to other clubs?
P.S - Could you please review my Mona Lisa and due to her ethereal beauty allow her to be my avatar.
Much obliged
{Ed001's Note - first off it is reviewed and should be there. I hope. Secondly football in general is a long way behind athletics and, in particular, cycling in this country. There are so many aspects that could be worked on and improved, but I expect that will come in time as new young coaches break through, who aren't just ex-footballers with no idea about scientific training methods. As for where we ranks, nowhere mate. We are miles behind the likes of Man City.}
1.) 07 Sep 2015 19:30:52
cheers eds,
good point on cycling by the way, very impressed with how British Cycling operates.
{Ed001's Note - there are so many things football could learn from other sports, it is quite worrying.}
2.) 08 Sep 2015 06:54:52
Being from Aus, and an AFL fan, I often laugh how far behind English clubs are with sports science. The AFL has a salery cap and the highest payed players are on 1mill Australian.(like 500,000 pounds a year) and they seem to have better sports science than just about all of the top 4 put together. different sports I know, but for the money Liverpool pay for players and there wages, if they put just pittance of that into a solid sports science setup we would notice a massive difference.
3.) 08 Sep 2015 08:36:03
This varies from club to club,I've been lucky enough to visit some premier clubs training grounds and see what goes on training wise,City,Arsenal and Chelsea all have pretty advanced methods,I think Liverpool is lagging behind a lot of top clubs,but I don't think top clubs lag behind the rest of the world sports.
Comparing sports in a bare form is nonsense for me,they are separated by so many variables.btw Mark,how's that ''salary cap'' working out for buddy franklin :) and don't you just love it when team intentionally field weaker sides like round 23? or you know,start up a programme of giving PED's to the entire playing group (each sport has its own merits and drawbacks)
4.) 08 Sep 2015 11:02:43
A little defensive there Bob? Why can't you compare sports? Sports science is rapidly developing and we should be constantly learning wherever we can. In all aspects of the club.
5.) 08 Sep 2015 13:14:08
I think ferguson was right into sport science. In his autobiography he advised that Man Utd added vitamin d supplements before it was a thing. Crazy how far everything has come.
In Australia the NRL has rapidly improved in science in last 15 years. Liverpool could do better in this area and it is surprising US owners are not investing more as it is proliferating basketball, nfl and baseball right now.
At least we are looking at mental health and player psychology.
6.) 08 Sep 2015 13:19:10
Nothing defensive about it. I think when you sing the praises for something it should actually work.
The idea you can directly compare any sports with such ease Mark has is preposterous to me,there are so many physical differences,requirements etc,as well as organisational.
AFL plays 22 games a year,has roll on roll off subs,requires a completely different physical attribute to football(more hard running for 5 minutesthen off than sustained movement for 45. Teams don't necessarily play each other twice,so you get some relatively easy fixture sets sometimes,you don't win the title for being top in the league each team has its own ressie side with another 20+ players to chose from,they draft players dependent on performances,so if you lose a key player and do poor throughout the season,you get a future star in an early pick.The list of differences in each sport is astounding. The training for one sports whether it be AFL,NFL,Tennis can't just be easily introduced to another for immediate success.

gotta say if illori ends up at villa on loan this season then signs for them permanently and we end up still paying enrique 65k a week(we also resigned toure for another season when not needed) then i despair. words fail me
Eds who at the club would make the final decision about illori going to villa?? Thanks
{Ed001's Note - the manager makes the final call on transfers.}
1.) 01 Sep 2015 18:57:27
You never no Ilori has a great season at villa then comes back to us and the "new" manager has a great defender ðŸ˜
2.) 01 Sep 2015 21:05:36
He won't be coming back if he has a good season, they will buy him. And tbh the way he has been treated do you really think he would want to come back.
30 Aug 2015 09:01:07
Morning eds and fellow disgruntled fans
we played rubbish and deserved to loose. On another note though I really think this season is going to be one of the best in years in regards to the neutrals as we can already see every team has the capability to beat any other team. I know the pundits say it every year but teams like Leicester, Crystal palace, west ham, Everton,stoke, west brom etc are going to prove to be tough cookies and considering most teams including ourselves can't defend for toffee its going to make it fun to watch.
I am concerned about the way we are playing, but not much we can do as fans apart from vent the anger on pages like this which does make for tedious reading sometimes! But hey ho only another 34 games to go. still going to stick with my prediction(for what its worth) of 5th or 6th
1.) 30 Aug 2015 09:29:31
Isn't it just like last season?
Chelsea ran away with it and everyone else lost games they should win.
This season Man City are the runaway champions
2.) 30 Aug 2015 09:49:04
I remember fans on here laughing at city's preseason results, thinking we were up there, there is a massive gap between us and will get bigger the longer br is manager, we can't blame sterling for leaving,
3.) 30 Aug 2015 10:05:13
Are you still optimistic, Ron? Seriously, I am not teasing just curius to see if there are still any fans with hope around (and although I could say I told you so million times I am just sad about this as anyone).

Eds do you guys know anything about this Jerome Sinclair rumour at all?
Cheers
{Ed002's Note - I know he has turned down a contract offer.}
26 Jun 2015 10:44:21
not intending bad light at all. Sevilla have champions league football next year, he is on good money, family happy etc.
Just wandering why leave that for Europa league with us - the only other Premier league team linked with him is Man U I think (correct me if i'm wrong) - who have champions league football
so if it is not just about the money why would he come to us? All that bollocks about projects - every club can pitch an exciting project if they have a good recruitment team in place
