Ed001 few questions for you are we seriously looking at Benjamin Sesko. I think he has the potential to be our next real star striker.
Do you think we could get both Nunez and Jota out this summer and if so would you think if we do at the £30m price Liam Delap would be a good signing to come in even if it's to just rotate with a first choice and maybe sell on in the future like we did with Solanke.
Last Ed with the frimpong deal looking very much likely now I can't see him on wages anywhere near what we offered Trent so with the payments spread over the 4 years even though we lost Trent for nothing I would guess the money spent over the next 4 years will be roughly the same maybe even slightly less depending on his wages. So do you think that's been smart business from the club. Thanks Ed and good morning.

Ed001 what your thoughts on Huijsen as a player I have only watched him a few times and I think he looks outstanding on the ball but one thing that would have worried me was his recovery pace with how far forward we defended. I watched Bournemouth last weekend and Villa had a break on them and he looked like he was running in sand.
{Ed001's Note - excellent young defender, but he does still have a fair bit to learn. He is not lightning quick, but he is no slouch either.}

Ed1 - do you think we’ll move Jones on this summer? I used to be a huge fan but it feels like it hasn’t dropped for him. He hasn’t developed the consistency and looks like he holds onto the ball longer than ever.
{Ed001's Note - no.}
15 May 2025 21:35:48
Tired of all this jones rhetoric…. he is a very good squad, suits Slot’s style and can cover a number of positions. Plus he is scouse (those of you that say that counts for nothing can stop crying over Trent leaving, as that is double standards) …I personally think Jones is an important member of the squad, and in certain games and situations is ideal. Prime example city game where we played to false 10s.
15 May 2025 21:40:51
I agree with you op. Jones looks likes he’s gone backwards and I would also add he looks lazy now. Am disappointed with him if am honest.
15 May 2025 21:42:35
He’s a squad player and nothing more. Good some of the time, terrible some of the time.
15 May 2025 21:55:48
Plus he's reportedly earning 15k per week so great for the clubs budget and for people worried about players getting paid too much ?.
15 May 2025 22:18:49
Love Jonesy I do. Bit shot shy but he can grow and grafts for the team.
15 May 2025 22:30:00
Good squad player, he’s a mix of the good, bad and ordinary. Lacks consistency but can turn up once in a while.
{Ed025's Note - very wishy-washy for me Tom...mediocrity personified..

If I had a pound for every time you've bagged Jones Ed025, I'd have enough to buy half your squad.
15 May 2025 23:43:32
@Longthing76 has it about right, but instead of gone backwards it should say only goes backwards. He's the reincarnation of Joe Allen, if there is a cul-de-sac to run down he'll find it. Also dwells on the ball too often and plays too many blind, dangerous passes (A Trent issue also and Noticed VVD doing it now) . Don't care about him leaving, but not good enough for that level of arrogance.
15 May 2025 23:59:45
How many times did Slot pick Elliott, Jones, Chiesa or Endo? List them in order of appearances this season and chose the one Slot sees as most useful for the squad.
16 May 2025 03:50:31
Malgail, have you ever considered that those players play those passes because they have been instructed to? It's not like slot drops them on the pitch and tells them to do whatever they want, he trusts that they have the skillset to pull passes like that off. Trent played much riskier passes that left us open when he inverted and no one was there to fill the space under klopp, are you going to blame him for sauntering off into the center circle unsupervised?
16 May 2025 05:30:32
I think he’s definitely improved under Slot, him and Grav were standout players in the first half of the season.
Every player has a dip in form.
At the moment his curve is trending upwards under Slot so I’d definitely keep him another season then reassess.
16 May 2025 07:53:45
No wI start to see where Anneal supporters get the LFC won the league by default narrative. from some so called LFC supporters. :0.
16 May 2025 09:21:19
Exactly PB, if the whole team was playing Hollywood passes we would be relinquishing position more often than not.
I bet Jones does exactly the job Slot asks him to do, hence why he gets so many minutes.
Yes, he can be frustrating at times. Especially as we know he can score bangers, like the goal against Everton ….
{Ed025's Note - dont judge a payer on 1 shot 10 years ago StEA..

I think that he has taken over the Henderson role perfectly - constantly passing the ball backwards!

Forward, mid, and 2 Defenders for me.
If we get Frimpong, which seems very likely now, it would seem to make sense for a LB/ CB player to come in, many have mentioned Hato being a good fit, and from previous posts I think that Ed001 likes him.
As someone posted earlier Kirkez and Frimpong would be exciting, but very front foot.

Not good enough for Liverpool RM, he doesn’t get past VVD, Konate for sure.

{Ed001's Note - I cannot confirm or deny that it is him. Bazza will answer this one.}

You do have a point Ed. If we are making too many changes to the squad, if feels like we are doing what Chelsea is doing. And they are struggling.
If we exclude the player who can't be mentioned, who do you think out of the name mentioned are the best choice?
{Ed001's Note - I haven't seen enough of those to judge them at all mate. Sorry.}

Why not ask Viktor to join the list of Ed's. Maybe Ed666. His input would be unprecedented.
{Ed001's Note - we had a 666 and he was excellent, no way Viktor could live up to that.}

Ed, I saw Graham's interview and I agree Graham could have been embelishing certain things esp. where his tea was involved but you already know that's going to happen cos we are all prone to pat ourselves on the back in these situations so I get that.
Now on the whole, I thought Graham was pretty forthright and gave good insight and got into the weeds of how the club approached VVD and Salah signings and if you add the way he talks about Matip's signing, you can tell he was being open about his time with his team at the club.
Now if you like, you can check out the Overlap where Patrick Montgomery (deputy head of scouting from 2017 till last Nov. ) on how the scouting team would scout and select players to sign. Worth a watch in your spare time.
{Ed001's Note - spare time?}

Ed001 just if it's Diomande or Scalvini or Araújo or Mosquera or António Silva ;)
{Ed001's Note - someone like that I think. Yes. We have watched all of them.}

15 May 2025 15:40:40
Ed001, could you see a genuine CB and then a Hato who would primarily play LB but can also play CB. That would make the most sense to me but I have a feeling it'll be Kerkez at LB.
{Ed001's Note - yes mate, that is exactly what I expect.}

You only expected one CB Ed? I thought club wanted at least 3 top class CB in the squad. One to replace Konate and one to replace Virgil in the future. I really can't see Quansah as the 3rd choice CB, I don't think he is good enough.
Good to know the name of the player Ed. You didn't say the name directly so finger cross. Wolves actually got good players in each positions. Agbadou, Joao Gomes and Cunha. They should be higher in the table.
{Ed001's Note - there are a lot of players we need and I expect Hato to be brought in, who can also cover centre-back.}

Oh for god's sake Harry, don't be as pathetic as to have 2 of your accounts agreeing with each other. As I said, how pathetic!
Florian, if he doesn't want to stay and/ or is looking for more than we think he is worth, why would we just pay him? I asked my boss for a 400% pay rise, he said you're not worth that. If someone else will pay it, I leave.
Will we get as much for Konate as we would have last summer? Probably not. Will we get more than letting him leave in 12m? Absolutely.
As Ed001 has said, either Konate signs a new contract or he is sold this window. Probably for maybe c£30m rather than £50m+ if he had a longer contract, but still for a fee that can go towards a replacement.

I’d like to see Emmanuel Agbadou join from Wolves. He’s 6ft4 and has great positional sense, becoming the main reason that team has prospered recently. He’s 27 but would thrive at RCB.
