Quansah to leverkusen ‘here we go’ 30mill plus 5mill on add one.
1.) 22 Jun 2025 12:35:14
Plus a buy back.
This is essentially a fancy loan.
2.) 22 Jun 2025 12:43:33
They've had their pants pulled down.
3.) 22 Jun 2025 12:59:03
Excellent deal by us. I think there is a buyback clause.
4.) 22 Jun 2025 13:19:47
A buyback clause too, which is nice.
5.) 22 Jun 2025 13:21:37
Just how? Is the pound become that worthless now.
6.) 22 Jun 2025 13:55:03
Tbh……he played quite welll last night for England U21’s against a good Spanish team. Although he did give a penalty away with a silly challenge.
He does have potential if he can cut out the silly defensive errors . But time will tell.
7.) 22 Jun 2025 14:04:03
If Quansah does really well and excels there we’ve got the opportunity to bring him back. A fantastic deal for a player that hasn’t pulled up trees so far. A quarter of the Wirtz deal paid for effectively.
8.) 22 Jun 2025 14:29:48
I hope this turns into Hato, Zeze, or Ait-Boudlal.
9.) 22 Jun 2025 14:47:33
Hughes earning his money how he got that amount for Quansah I’ll never know
Up the pool.
10.) 22 Jun 2025 15:20:35
They just paid the same amount for quansah as we did for macallister ? dunno if we’re muggin them off or we mugged Brighton off or both. but I’m here for it ?.
11.) 22 Jun 2025 15:48:53
Gave away a penalty last night. The boy is special.
12.) 22 Jun 2025 16:03:24
A big thank you must go to the current Bayer "LIVER"-kusen manager Erik Ten Hag for being so gullible in the fees for Wirtz, Frimpong (R/ C fee) and now Quansah, and for entering a possible auction (£££s) with the Magpies for Harvey Elliot?
Would Xabi Alonso have been so agreeable/ green for the above if he was still LIVER-kusen manager one must ask?
And man utd fans say he was a bad manager, job well done LFC agent Ten Hag!
Another Can of 7 Up to celebrate seems most apt!
13.) 22 Jun 2025 16:09:31
Apart from the peno he didn't play poorly. I think the move to Germany will really help him and he may develop to a solid cb. Still only 22 so I'm 4 years could be worth buying back.
14.) 22 Jun 2025 17:46:34
Hope Quansah does well in Germany.
{Ed025's Note - 2 little words Mcgoveb..."who cares"..
15.) 22 Jun 2025 18:39:28
I think that's quansah’s problem. Does many things perfectly. And then does something foolish and causes a chance or a goal. Every single match. There’s a player in there but I feel if he hasn’t improved in two years- better to move to fields anew. Best of luck to him. Reckon its the steal of the window.
16.) 22 Jun 2025 18:57:25
I think the bigger issue is modern fans.
Quansah is 22
Last season he barely got game time. When he did he played in teams that had never played together before. Sides with Chiesa and Nguoma in them alongside Gomez etc.
The season before he got regular game time and was very good. That’s the key, he’s not being sold with a buy back because he’s rubbish, but because he needs game time which he won’t get, Ibou and Virg were fit all season, we won the league.
CBs get better with experience and game time. We will probably re-sign him at 25, which is the time defenders start to get good.
John Stones was written off for all his errors at 22, he turned out to be pretty good.
If you judge a player (especially a centre back) on giving a penalty away in a game…the rest of which he was superb in and you ignore all the good elements…you’re looking to dislike them and your opinion is daft.
17.) 22 Jun 2025 18:59:46
Hope Hughes had the decency to lube them up before pantsing them.
18.) 22 Jun 2025 19:03:01
As an aside- did we put a buy back on van den Berg?
Noted he’s being playing alongside Hato in the under21s.
19.) 22 Jun 2025 19:22:14
Not putting him in the same bracket has VVD, but go watch VVD when he was 22 he did the exact same thing. would do wonderful things but then do something completely wrong. Jarell needs regular football to help him develop more Great move for him and great for the club with a buyback
Jarell was playing in the best league at the top boys table at 22. a lot of other defenders wasn’t VVD has just left Groenigan for Celtic.
20.) 22 Jun 2025 19:18:39
A bit harsh ED025, I'd hope any player that leaves us does well in their future careers.
{Ed025's Note - even Trent, Macca and Owen Mcgoveb?, once a player leaves i dont have much interest in them myself mate...but maybe thats just me..
21.) 22 Jun 2025 20:30:27
Mistakes are the growing pains of Wisdom! the only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing?
22.) 22 Jun 2025 21:45:02
Andre Wisdom? Correct. mistakes were definitely his growing pains. except he never grew.
23.) 22 Jun 2025 21:46:59
Vvd was the best defender in the league at celtic when he was 21. So I don’t consider really him anywhere near the quality of quansah. Vvd was standing out even back then. But look- for the lad- I hope I’m wrong. And I’m frequently wrong. I hope he goes on to great things under the right coaching.
24.) 22 Jun 2025 21:52:14
There are two things a CB needs to get to the higher levels.
Time on the ball.
The ability to leave the line.
Quansah has both. Great in the air, physical specimen, quick, reads the game and can pass.
He’s going to have a stellar career.
{Ed025's Note - hmmmmm..
25.) 22 Jun 2025 23:58:57
Why please please give up the drugs my friend ?.
26.) 23 Jun 2025 00:05:04
What's the probability, as a %, that we buy back Quansah, WhyOwhy?
27.) 23 Jun 2025 01:27:55
Kloppers and Why oh why like the kid- sees something in him. Who knows? Maybe they are right. It would be awesome if they do. Stranger things have happened. Regardless- hopefully the kid will grow into a monster.
28.) 23 Jun 2025 09:20:50
Quansah has lots of potential. It is a good deal for both parties as we get a lot of money for a raw player with some personal/ personality issues and they get a player with lots of potential to fulfil if he can keep it in his pants.
Odd mentality from those who have written him off - I've no doubt you were singing his praises before last season.
29.) 23 Jun 2025 09:44:52
AOE
Managers at every level at England play him. He’s always played.
Jurgen Klopp played him. He’s good at football talent spotting.
Slot played him (but Ibou stayed fit) .
So people, very well versed in what makes a good footballer, rate him highly.
Lads on the internet do not. I can’t figure which judgement has more merit. It’s complex. The people paid overwhelming amounts of money to spot and deploy talent - or NabySZN69 who thinks we should sell all our players and buy everyone off FIFA.
When you add a buy back clause you compromise what you charge - so Liverpool Football club have lost money short term because they believe that will save money when they potentially buy him back. You do see that, right? We’ve lost money on this deal because the football club believe there is a likelihood we buy him back.
Jeez.
30.) 23 Jun 2025 11:00:53
Fair enough why oh why. You might re read my message mate. I hope I’m wrong and the lad goes on to be excellent.
31.) 23 Jun 2025 12:47:06
I read “people like kloppers and why oh why see something in him” - like we have gleaned something in him that’s impossible to fathom.
He played regularly as an early twenties centre back in a top five side on this planet. It’s not hard to intuit from that he’s an excellent footballer.
You don’t play regularly for Liverpool without being an excellent footballer. I suspect a lot of people radically undervalue how good we are.
32.) 23 Jun 2025 13:22:27
Ah crap. Sorry why oh why, if that sounded like I was having a go. I wasn’t at all but I completely understand the irritation. I should have chosen my words better. It was genuinely an attempt at saying both you guys could be right is seeing something in him and hopefully you are right (for the lads career) . My total bad.
33.) 23 Jun 2025 16:53:47
Rigsby, somewhere between 0% and 100%
I cannot legislate for WW3, Quansah becoming addicted to Pokemon, a career ending injury, Liverpool Football Club being wound up as they’ve been found guilty of massive financial impropriety or indeed the collapse of modern civilisation.
I can say that inserting a buy back essentially limits the profit the buying club can make in future, this comes at a cost to the selling club today, so Liverpool felt confident enough to lose money short term because they feel there is some chance they will buy him back.
As previously stated, this feels like a fancy loan.
11 Jun 2025 08:40:55
No Darwin in last nights Uruguay squad last night… hoping he’s negotiating a move away.
1.) 11 Jun 2025 09:00:15
Isn't he banned from the crowd fight he had?

He is banned for 3 matches i think yes.

From memory wasn’t that where his family were put in a very precarious situation? Meanwhile publicly posted videos of various slurs against the french national team doesn’t warrant a ban?

Never celebrate until the melwood lean.
27 Oct 2024 08:45:33
Morning lads…
What’s the craic with Delap? I thought he was on loan but turns out he was sold by Citeh! Do we have any interest in him atm or are any other teams watching him? I think he could be the next England number 9. Top top player in my opinion.
{Ed002's Note - There is interest from two PL sides but not Liverpool.}
1.) 27 Oct 2024 21:47:52
Leif Davis reminds me an awful lot of Robertson at Hull if we’re doing any shopping at Ipswich.
2.) 27 Oct 2024 23:13:22
Leif goes to ground too easily once winter comes around.
3.) 28 Oct 2024 00:24:45
Probably best if we Leif hm alone.
4.) 28 Oct 2024 08:03:14
Anyone robinson from Fulham looks a very tidy lb option.
5.) 28 Oct 2024 10:18:19
Robinson is probably too old now. We need to be getting somebody long term. Davies or Ait-Nouri would be great. Davies is nailed on for Madrid unfortunately though.
6.) 28 Oct 2024 11:19:52
Leif looks pretty good, he gets some stick but I think he has the potential to really blossom into a top player.
7.) 29 Oct 2024 12:06:46
Is there any interest in that fullback from Benfica, Alvaro Fernandez? He's young, counts as a HG player because of the time he spent at United and seems to be a good option to replace Robertson long term?
{Ed002's Note - Alvaro Carreras (LB/LWB) Benfica will look to avoid a sale of the player who only joined in the summer after a loan, but Manchester United have a buy back option at €20M, far less than his €50M buy out clause. Manchester United could look to tempt him to rejoin but the player may look to the emerging interest of Barcelona, Liverpool and Real Madrid, although Barcelona and Liverpool do not have a pressing need. Real Madrid will see Mendy depart in the summer and, like Manchester United, are looking to a LB as a priority.}
8.) 29 Oct 2024 13:14:26
Cheers Ed002.
It'd be interesting to see if we do try for him. Naturally I'd say that Liverpool would be the best option for him considering how we can show him a clear pathway into the first team and as teams like Barcelona and Manchester United are not as stable off the pitch as Liverpool are, we could offer him the best environment to fulfil his potential. I was fairly sure I seen that Real Madrid were targeting Alphonso Davies on a free transfer next summer, so maybe they wouldn't spend £30m+ on a potentially substitute LB?
26 Sep 2024 14:24:16
Kostas was clearly a weak link in the team. Why have we held onto him for so long? Is it because he’s happy as back up or partly due to keeping salah happy as they are best pals. Have we been watching any Lb’s recently or do you know if slot has a preferred option? Cheers YNWA.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool watch players throughout the year but there are priorities that need to be dealt with first.}
1.) 26 Sep 2024 17:04:17
I imagine the left back position will be shortly on the priority list due to Robbos age and Kostas probably not going to be anymore than a back up.
2.) 26 Sep 2024 19:35:59
Kostas takes a few games to get going can’t judge anyone who starts once every 10 games or so.
3.) 26 Sep 2024 20:02:28
Thats true scouce john, but Tsimikas is a midtable premier league player at best imo, don't you agree?
4.) 26 Sep 2024 22:56:28
I disagree. He’s on a team that has fought for trophies year in and year out and never has he finished mid table. He’s a good back up.
5.) 27 Sep 2024 05:54:13
he is never going to be in the conversation of world class players but Tsimikas works hard, seems to be well liked by his team mates and doesn't cause problems. so i wouldn't rush to sell him - particularly as there doesn't seem to be anyone queuing up to take his spot. We need to sort out VVD first IMO but i def can see the club looking for someone to come in and phase out Robbo or him next year.
6.) 27 Sep 2024 07:06:44
Maybe I'm the odd one out but I like Tsimikas. Of course he's not as good as Robbo but he's a very decent backup for us. Apart from his first year which I recall was horrible, but he did improve and I would say most of the time he does enough when he's called to fill in for Robbo. Would you rather have Moreno over Tsimikas? I think Tsimikas is better than Moreno. However, if there's a special LB available, then maybe we need to look into that. Otherwise, we shouldn't be looking to boot Tsimikas out.
{Ed025's Note - for me DAP he is a decent enough back up but not a first team starter, seems to me like a really nice guy who is well liked and has a very good team ethic but he does lack concentration at times so can be a liability mate..
7.) 27 Sep 2024 08:06:28
That right there is the issue Ed025 but I think too many of our fans have been sucked in by Klopp's loyalty down the years and have forgotten the ruthlessness required to win titles. Robbo is getting to the point where he can't sprint up and down like a Duracell bunny for 90 minutes twice a week. He also seems to be picking up more injuries in the last 2 seasons than he did previously. So we're going to become increasingly reliant on Tsimikas over the next few years if we stick with what we've got.
Due to Robbo's inevitable decline looming on the horizon, I think we now need more than just a hard working back up who won't make a fuss. For me it's time Robertson was phased into being that back up option, and a new first choice option is signed. I love Tsimikas to the extent I even have a Greece shirt with his name on the back! One of my best memories as a Liverpool fan is celebrating his winning penalty in the FA Cup final whilst I was sat in a bar in Lisbon getting sloshed with loads of random Liverpool fans from all over Europe. But I'm also a realist and it feels like to move forward we need a new starting left back now. There's no point having 3 senior left backs though, and in a shoot-out between keeping Robbo or Tsimikas, there's only one winner.
{Ed025's Note - yeah MK its not easy to lose players who have been committed and been stalwarts for the club, but the game moves on im afraid mate and when players regress they have to be replaced..thats just a fact of life..
8.) 27 Sep 2024 12:12:52
I think he's fine as a back-up, it's only really an issue coming into the new couple years given Robbos age, we don't want to rely on Tsimikas starting week in week out. I'd focus on bringing in someone who can replace Robbo and then give the back up spot to someone like Chambers who has been really good on loan and is probably more suited to the new role at LB sitting back in a 3 because he's also played CB.
9.) 27 Sep 2024 12:51:42
Tsimikas was bought as a back up and has done the job well. He’s never let us down as far as I can recall. There was discussion about signing a LCB / LB in the recent window but that discussion was overshadowed by general concerns about the need for us to sign a DCM ‘destroyer’, without whom we would be ‘doomed, doomed I tell ye’ to quote Pte Frazer.
An LCB not withstanding, I think we have a number of youngsters auditioning for a step up into the first team squad as a LB - Beck, Chambers and Scanlon. I think there are likely other areas the need addressing first.
I’d say we will need at least one CB possibly two if Joey leaves which - without any proof on my part - I think he will.
I think we need a right sided attacker to either replace Mo or to challenge Chiesa for a starting place if FC is seen as the Mo replacement.
I also think we need a genuine world class CF. Neither Jota or Nunez are a medium / long term solution. As I say I prefer Jota, of the two we currently have. I’m not sure I understand the idea that Nunez should be given a go. Surely if he was good enough he would have been a regular starter by now.
Anyway, I think a CF should be our priority but I suspect CB may be the club’s focus.
Oh yes, and we might need a DCM …….
10.) 27 Sep 2024 14:27:33
I was going to say that I see Jota and Nunez as a back up to a new CF as Tximi is to Robbo for the LB spot. If it were me and we bought a CF, I’d keep Jota and try an$ recoup some of the money we spent on Nunez.
11.) 27 Sep 2024 20:30:57
"Tsimikas is a midtable premier league player at best imo, don't you agree? "
I don't.
{Ed025's Note - higher or lower Oli?..
12.) 27 Sep 2024 23:29:23
Eds, Florian Wirtz seems to be the next shiny player to be on big clubs shopping list, is he another Bellingham where lots of clubs are linked, including LFC, but he ends up at RM or MC? He does seem to have bundles of talent, are LFC interested, and more pertinently, is there any prospect of the club putting the money on the table?
{Ed002's Note - Florian Wirtz (AM/F) Arrived as a replacement for Havertz and made an immediate impact with admirers in Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich sending scouts. Newcastle have a very experienced third party continuing scouting players in Germany for them and have also looked at Wirtz. He signed a new long-term contract in 2024 but struggled to play early last season due to serious injury. Newcastle remain keen if he could prove his fitness but chances of them signing him are very low. Bayer Leverkusen will not want to sell and will point to the length of his contract. Chelsea have him on a list of possible AM options but have a preferred option. Liverpool have not made any offer for the player as many of the fans think and can likely be discounted with other English sides. Expect Bayern Munich or Real Madrid to try to negotiatea transfer, probably Real Madrid would be favourites. A wildcard would be Barcelona or Manchester City as a de Bruyne replacement.}
13.) 28 Sep 2024 12:53:19
I like Tsimikas as a person, you don't hear about him whinging about game time and when he fills in he gives it his all.
Everyone around the club speaks well of him and he has become a bit of a character. Not every squad player has to be top tier but giving 100% has to be the number one priority.
To be honest I think we have been spoilt with Robbo and Trent being so consistently brilliant over the last 7/ 8 seasons.
When you think back over the years in the Premier League
We have never had two outstanding players in l/ b and r/ b the same time. We always shoehorned midfielders or centre backs in and hoped for the best.
We have both sides covered with Bradley and Tsimikas and although they may not get as many assists they both add a bit of grit and determination to the game, they will give their all for the club and become legends in the history of LFC. I hope! ??.
14.) 28 Sep 2024 23:39:16
Klopp's loyalty? When he axed and replaced an entire midfield in one window - including his captain and vice captain?
15.) 28 Sep 2024 07:57:13
I’m going to jump in here, how are you ed25 mate?
MK makes a good point, to stay at the top you need to be ruthless and this is where Fergie won. He was ruthless when it came to moving players on in order to improve the squad
Drogie.
{Ed025's Note - im good thanks Drogie, yeah mate there is no sentiment in business and players come and go..
16.) 29 Sep 2024 11:33:02
So how’s Coleman still on Everton’s books then?
{Ed025's Note - because we dont have a viable replacement WDW, our 2 full backs are pretty weak at the moment but we have not had the resources to replace them, Seamus has been a great player for us but his age and fitness are against him now, but he is still club captain and his influence in the dressing room is invaluable still, and bought for £60,000 he will go down as an Everton legend and one of the best pieces of business in premier league history mate, lets not mention Coleman and Tsimikas in the same sentence please, one of them is a fullback who holds legendary status...the other one plays for Liverpool..

Well he scored the only goal for Germany so not too shabby.
2.) 04 Jun 2025 23:10:41
He was very good when he had the ball. but he looked like he didn't have enough energy to press or track back as much as the others and strolled around a bit. hopefully just very tired after a long season.

He tried a little near the end. The amount of effort he put in was insane. I submitted my match review of him which will be posted soon I hope.

First time seeing Wirtz for a prolonged period, and honestly I can 100% see why we are after him. The man was the only threat Germany possessed, and Portugal knew it, so put 2 men on him and his zone at all time.
His off the ball work was something else, constantly running into channels in order to receive the ball but, outside of Kimmich, no one in that Germany team had the courage or the ability to play that ball. Wirtz's dribbling is also really effective, he takes measured touches and lulls the opponent into making a decision, which Wirtz recognises and then skips away from. Wirtz was also pressing from minute 1 until he fatigued, he was doing the defensive work of the midfield at points, running beyond them in order to delay the Portugal attack.
For me, Wirtz did what he was supposed to do and more. However, with a player of Tah's ability, you are always going to ship goals and be under pressure. While not the best player on the pitch, Wirtz was the only German player to put a positive account of himself. Kimmich too, I suppose.

Surprised by that comment Liss. Not what I watched.
I could count numerous times he tracked back very hard when dangerous breaks were on. I think if he felt cover was there, he wouldn't but I think personally that was role related. German press was terrible so he wasnt going to run it alone and just get passed around. He won the ball back a few times up high which says a lot about his press for me.
The way he shows for the ball and passes and moves takes a massive amount of work rate. For me, hardest working German player on the pitch by an absolute country mile.
If I could wish for anything, I would wish he was a tiny bit pacier, but he is fast enough. Still a fast player. Just not fast fast.

Mango, you are ruining my review. Ban him Ed. Plagiarism. He somehow got hold of my work.

Wirtz vs Portugal:
- 1 goal
- 3/ 5 dribbles
- 2/ 2 long balls
- 3/ 3 tackles
- 9/ 16 duels won
- 2 fouls won
- Dispossessed once
Wirtz was named MOTM for Germany.
Is that good enough for the poster?

As i said he was very good just seemed knackered to me. but he is excellent with the ball and a joy to watch.
9.) 05 Jun 2025 00:19:25
Ah. He was at the end alright. Apologies Liss.
10.) 05 Jun 2025 01:09:52
here's an idea - how about don't form an opinion on a player based off of 10minutes, including youtube highlights.
11.) 05 Jun 2025 05:26:21
I didn't watch the game but it's always good to see one of our players on the score sheet. Get in, Wirtz!
12.) 05 Jun 2025 08:50:57
I didn’t see the match either but I thought he was absolutely brilliant. Anybody else in the same boat as me?
13.) 05 Jun 2025 09:27:49
Didn’t watch the match. Not arsed with international football particularly meaning matches like the nations league. More interested what he’s going to do in a Liverpool shirt.
14.) 05 Jun 2025 10:04:10
Having watched the whole game, it was hard to assess Wirtz the German national team are poor they could not even mark a near 40-year-old who scored.
Wirtz was ok he tried but not enough class around him scored great headed goal made some good dribbles passed the ball well but i can see big things from him in Liverpool team for Germans they have gone backwards imo.
Portugal were excellent great to watch lovely football great goal then the guy who plays for city throws himself on the floor causing a near brawl, coward that he is won't name him, but you reds will know who i mean, he is a disgrace .
15.) 05 Jun 2025 13:00:00
Not arsed about any of that. Seen the kid play a few times when Leverkusen went invincible. That's all I needed to see to know "Flo" is incredible.

Sell with a buy back beck Baj clause?
22 Jun 2025 10:24:46
No Anglesey. you’re making an opinion from reading these posts. No one really knows what his personality is.
21 Jun 2025 13:25:02
Because he doesn’t want to learn a language I’d imagine.
20 Jun 2025 19:05:23
Can we finally go for Quaresma.
20 Jun 2025 09:17:11
Regarding…. aerial duels ??♂️.

I have a strong feeling he’ll be wearing red next season… he’s been our number one target all along. Wirtz became available, wanted Liverpool and we couldn’t turn that down. Few sales and we have the dough. YNWA.
15 Jun 2025 07:12:05
Plus have you not tuned in to Desperate scousewives el recruiter’s wife and co have been texting duuuhhh.
15 Jun 2025 07:10:13
Wow that’s brave… don’t see why we can’t sign Isak after a handful of sales. We have/ can generate the money.
15 Jun 2025 07:08:19
Yeah I’d keep Diaz and Gomez.
14 Jun 2025 16:39:59
Interesting no one mentioning Salah….
Suarez
Wirtz
Bobby.
