Hi Ed’s 2
Is today the last day of Dani Olmo buy out clause?
{Ed002's Note - Not for one club.}
02 Jul 2024 20:18:34
Hi eds2
Just wondering if there’s any interested teams in Tsimikas?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Kostas Tsimikas (LB) Agent previously said he was being forced out of the club to raise €20M or more. Since then it has been quiet and I am not aware of any approaches. Liverpool may resist a sale due to the cost of replacement.}
1.) 03 Jul 2024 13:30:26
Would a replacement be needed when Owen Beck is already better than Kostas and Gomez can also cover?
30 Jun 2024 12:27:15
Are we still interested in Archie Gray eds2?
{Ed002's Note - Archie Gray (DM/CM/RB) Leeds kiddie having had an excellent season in the Championship and showing versatility. Will not be for sale but Leeds have noted Brentford, Crystal Palace and Spurs have a declared interest with the former having had a significant offer rejected. Scouts from Manchester United, West Ham, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and RBL have attended games but it would be a waste of the player unless these clubs are looking to utilise him in the first team with all having preferred options. West Ham, Borussia Dortmund or Bayern Munich may provide a wildcard solution.}
1.) 30 Jun 2024 13:13:02
According to the Guardian he’ll likely go to Spurs.
2.) 30 Jun 2024 14:11:18
BBC is saying, he's off to Brentford.
3.) 30 Jun 2024 15:02:36
Apparently the Brentford deal broke down over payment structure.
4.) 30 Jun 2024 19:49:05
Great player, but not sure where he would fit in.
5.) 30 Jun 2024 20:55:26
Reminds me a bit of Declan Rice. I don’t think we need to gamble on a teenager though. We have a good academy now that is producing players. If we sign players for big money, i’d prefer they are players who improve us in the here and now. Gray probably has a big future though if he stays fit and grounded.
6.) 01 Jul 2024 07:26:35
Would be kind of funny having that misogynistic liverpool-hating neanderthal's son becoming a star for us, though, wouldn't it lol.
7.) 01 Jul 2024 08:38:59
Different Andy Gray Paddy.
8.) 01 Jul 2024 08:44:22
oh no haha, then it wouldn't be funny at all.
27 May 2024 13:45:01
Hi Ed’s 2
A few days ago you mentioned that the future of Koopmeiners mite be a bit clearer on Monday or Tuesday so I don’t suppose you have any more information on him yet do you?
{Ed002's Note - Discussions have begun with Juventus but Atralanta are not keen the the proposed "creative" solution being put forward.}
30 Jun 2023 18:39:28
Evening Eds2
I was wondering if you knew the player who cost the most ever in add on’s?
Thanks in advance.
{Ed002's Note - I can’t say but it could be Pipco.}
1.) 30 Jun 2023 21:13:18
Was it true that Barcelona had to pay us because he won the Champions league at Bayern. I remember seeing a rumour saying there was a clause that theyd owe us whatever amount if he won the CL but it never said it had to be won at Barcelona.

Looks like eds2 was right again. Sounds Real Madrid after Mecca this summer!
1.) 16 Apr 2025 09:58:08
It'll be a pilgrimage for them.
2.) 16 Apr 2025 10:15:40
Lol rigsby.
3.) 16 Apr 2025 10:31:58
The rumour came from Marca so it’s likely nonsense and never going to happen, years left on his contract and would command a large fee! Great to see the players camp come out and pour cold water on the rumour straight away!
4.) 16 Apr 2025 10:46:23
Marca. Mecca. Macca? Think you need a Mocha.
5.) 16 Apr 2025 11:33:56
Are you taking the micca?
6.) 16 Apr 2025 11:45:22
Marc-Andre is a mouthpiece for Real Madrid, they are usually the ones who start the agitation.
7.) 16 Apr 2025 13:09:41
Marc-Andre, not Marc-Andre, whatever autocorrect thinks ?.
8.) 16 Apr 2025 13:12:47
More fake outside noise. Macca's Father on the rumors: “There’s nothing to comment. Alexis is very happy at Liverpool and hopes to be crowned Premier League champion, then enjoy a break he didn’t get last year. ”
“It’s important to value and respect the institution he’s playing for, so any comment from us would be unnecessary. ”
“He has a contract until 2028. He’s happy at the club — let’s hope he stays there. ”.
9.) 16 Apr 2025 20:56:01
#Marca ???.
16 Mar 2025 12:49:44
Am off the pub to watch the game so enjoy reds, let's get slot his first cup win! YNWA.
1.) 16 Mar 2025 14:27:16
Have a good one Longthing.
Lay off the Madri the stuff is lethal and I learnt that the hard way last week.
05 Mar 2025 23:07:38
What an incredible game. It was one of those champions league nights again were you can’t believe your eyes and all I need to say is Allison you are amazing. What have we witnessed tonight. I mean wow that’s got to be the best goal keeping I’ve ever seen. This will surly be talked about for years and even when he has gone to pasture new. Am not even going to talk about how we played, am just going to go to bed thinking about how lucky we are to have the best keeper in the world.
{Ed025's Note - and not long ago people on here were clamoring for Kelleher to be the number one Longthing, it beggars belief mate..
1.) 06 Mar 2025 01:20:26
Ali is another example of us (including me) taking what we have for granted. A case of not realising what we have until one day it will be gone.
2.) 06 Mar 2025 01:32:46
Agree, what a performance from the best shot stopper in the world. Guess he hasn’t been tested enough of late to show how good he really is but he was top draw today. So commanding in everything he did, felt like he rolled back the years.
3.) 06 Mar 2025 03:49:00
I have never seen a performance like that from any keeper in all of my years watching football. He's just absolutely unreal and when we say he's the best in the world, it's by far - no keeper out there comes close to his levels.
4.) 06 Mar 2025 06:51:59
Alisson's performance was extraordinary and shows the world why we believe he is the best in the world.
I will, however, direct peoples attention to our Champions league final defeat to Real Madrid where Vini Jr got the only goal of the game. The Man of the Match in that final and the only reason Liverpool didn't win the game by 4 or 5 clear goals? Thibaut Courtois!
Very similar performances by the two keepers.
Now that's the best two performances by a goalkeeper I have ever seen in football!
5.) 06 Mar 2025 00:54:30
Some people just don't appreciate what the have Ed025.
{Ed025's Note - very true Barry, hes the best in the world mate and you probably have the best back up keeper as well, but unfortunately while Ali is there he is never going to the main man..
6.) 06 Mar 2025 03:17:13
But. Ed, we're Liverpool fans here mate. You should know by now, we know best. #bestfansintheworld.
{Ed025's Note - you are not even the best fans on Merseyside Robbo but maybe that conversation is for another time mate, i dont want to rain on your parade so enjoy your days in the sun because Everton will be after your crown very shortly my friend.. :)
7.) 06 Mar 2025 09:12:46
"Ed025's Note - and not long ago people on here were clamoring for Kelleher to be the number one Longthing, it beggars belief mate. "
You think, mate?
{Ed025's Note - i just could not understand why you would want to replace the best in the world Oli mate?..
04 Mar 2025 12:04:10
What does everyone think to Gerard Pique’s idea that a 0-0 in the league shouldn’t get a point. He thinks paying hundreds of pounds to see a game and not seeing a goal isn’t great. Them more I think about it the more I like the idea. It will push the team to score more.
1.) 04 Mar 2025 13:20:23
Bad idea imo. Don't change it if it ain't brome. Already ruined footy with standard of refs etc.
2.) 04 Mar 2025 13:22:08
Or any type of draw?
3.) 04 Mar 2025 13:24:13
You could have 30 shots in a game and fail to score but it's been a great one to watch (ie keeper has a blinder or all the chances fall to Darwin) . Then you end up getting the same points as someone who got hammered 7-0.
It would be more fair to award teams with a score draw 2 points on Pique's basis.
Personally, I think the points system works as it is so let's leave it.
{Ed077's Note - just because Pique wasn't a great defender doesn'tean good defenders need to be punished. The art of defending, the overall standards are already going down, why try and make it even less attractive to keep a CS ?
4.) 04 Mar 2025 13:49:46
A team who scores 14 goals first, gets the win.
5.) 04 Mar 2025 14:18:27
I don't like it at all. 0-0 is just part of the game. Everyone who pays to go and watch a game, does so on the understanding that there is a possibility their team won't be scoring a goal, and for neutrals they do so knowing that neither team might score. If that's not something the dopamine-addicted, instant-gratification-craving youth of today can deal with, then there will just be more tickets for me and the other moody old gits.
6.) 04 Mar 2025 14:57:35
I prefer the idea from the Budweiser adverts a few years ago of added time multi-ball.
7.) 04 Mar 2025 16:42:03
If that was the case you wouldn’t need defenders just play midfielders and strikers. Remember Bradley’s tackle on mbappe? Best part of the game. What would be the point of them tackles if your nil nil and not going to get rewarded for them.
8.) 04 Mar 2025 20:34:14
for his specific point about encouraging goals, then I think the better thing to do would be to introduce a bonus point style like in rugby. maybe a bonus point for scoring 3 goals in a game. or for winning by 3. something like that.
But I don't like those ideas really. Football is a sport where a goal-less game can be as entertaining as a 5-5 draw, or a 4-3 game when trent busts the net late on for a winner.
9.) 04 Mar 2025 21:01:05
If it’s 0-0 they just keep playing. It becomes next goals the winner. Then their mums are standing on the doorstep calling them all in for tea.
That’s how it always working in my day anyway.
10.) 05 Mar 2025 16:39:50
How about a bonus point for 4+ goals
?
28 Feb 2025 20:03:03
Quick question to all
Why have we had to pay Klopp off when it was his decision to leave before his contract was up. Am not begrudging him as he deserved every penny just wondering is all?
1.) 28 Feb 2025 20:41:00
I was wondering the exact same thing mate, very suspicious.
2.) 28 Feb 2025 21:14:24
My guess, with no factual basis behind it whatsoever apart from my own internal musings, are that Klopp and the club came to a mutual agreement to terminate his contract and whilst the club likely wasn't contractually committed to financing a severance package, did so on good faith based on the success of klopps reign, a golden handshake of sorts.
3.) 28 Feb 2025 21:33:22
Also so klopp doesn’t speak out on certain things no doubt…. Read it’s a thing most clubs do. And I’m also not begrudging it him either…. legend.
4.) 28 Feb 2025 21:36:06
I believe Stuie has got it right. There's probably causes in the agreement such as klopp not being allowed to speak to media regarding situations such as any fallings out and financial funding or the lack of it.
Its pretty common in business for such things. If you hear klopp talk about the owners I don't see any negative comments.
5.) 28 Feb 2025 22:33:44
We paid Klopp and his backroom staff 9.6 million when they left, according to reports.
6.) 28 Feb 2025 22:38:09
Really? Maybe if we employ ratcliffe from the mancs we can cut back on apples and ketchup too.
20 Apr 2025 23:00:32
May as well sign Joey Barton while we’re at it!
18 Apr 2025 09:30:44
I think we need more pace in the team not slower players.
06 Apr 2025 21:22:56
Does Ramadan last a month because that's how long Salah has been absolutely useless.
27 Mar 2025 14:55:49
Am quite shocked at that answer eds1. What is your reason for thinking that mate?
{Ed001's Note - because it should have all been done by now.}
14 Feb 2025 08:44:22
This is going to sound harsh but I hope Joe is fit for the summer so he can be sold. Same for jota it’s crazy how many times they are injured.
23 Apr 2025 14:43:41
I know this is not what people want to hear but what if it was eze tonight that gets the winner. I’ve only just realised that Arsenal play tonight. I do not want to win like that.
21 Apr 2025 08:58:39
It’s just an opinion 1jj. We were beating teams while playing faster more exciting football for a good period of the season and now it’s slow and boring. There’s nothing wrong with pointing that out mate. If you could pick out of the two am sure you would go back to the better looking football. And yes I know we tired ect! Am just saying it’s nice to watch us playing better football.
20 Apr 2025 22:58:36
I hope we buy some players that make our football look exciting because it’s been boring for months now.
20 Apr 2025 11:34:46
Cunha is obviously an easy pick but I’d have throw Morgan Rodgers in there instead of Mbueno. I do like Mbueno though.
18 Apr 2025 20:21:16
Both Robo and Tsimikas need to go. Bring in Kerkez or Hato and use beck as well.
