Being reported in the last hour that van der Berg has asked Edwards and Hughes to lower his price tag so he can get a move away from LFC.
1.) 14 Jul 2024 15:52:57
Well that would disappoint Victor for sure. Ed02 said this long back and the man is an absolute legend on transfers. The lad wants out!
2.) 14 Jul 2024 16:30:46
Why would we lower his price that we have set. He is a very good player by all accounts and we have a contract with the player for another 2 years so If no one wants to pay what we are asking then he stays and sees out his contract it’s as simple as that!
3.) 14 Jul 2024 16:50:05
The value of good young players with one season (or less) behind them is set by a ridiculous market, and the money within the game, not by Sepp VBD.
4.) 14 Jul 2024 17:16:34
It’s basically the same story from a few weeks back just resurfacing as there’s nothing much for journos to write other than linking us to dross like Rabiot.
5.) 14 Jul 2024 17:20:00
If he wants to go that much, just let him go. Get in touch with his agent and work something out.
6.) 14 Jul 2024 17:57:30
Yes. Exactly the same story being written all over again.
7.) 14 Jul 2024 18:36:08
The way we currently play is not for every CB. Very few are suitable for defending half a pitch between two. It might change with Slot slightly but i was at a couple of games at anfield and could not believe the sheer volume of space covered between VVD and Konate. i've only seen Sepp on Youtube. Looks a decent prsopect but not sure he fits our style. Looks more of a third defender like Gomez atm and in a back 3 im sure Sepp would definitely find his feet. But if our usual system where TAA wonders around and Robbo is keen to serve his natural instints and go forward then not sure Sepp would thrive. Happy to be proved wrong but in our current system i think the all rounders like VVD Konate and Quansah are better suited i. e. huge, mobile, good in the air, good at duels in open space, ball playing etc. Big step up for Sepp but if he's fine with 4th choice then he's a good backup but doubt he's fine with that. At this moment id put Gomez ahead of Sepp.
8.) 14 Jul 2024 18:44:59
What victor said.
9.) 14 Jul 2024 22:45:43
Being reported that the club has set a price of 22 Million on Van den Berg. For someone who has no experience in the EPL, I thought the price was a bit high. Maybe Van den Berg is expecting an 8 million price like has been placed on Phillips?
In any case VDB has a contract that still has 2 years, and he's being paid the wages he is obligated to receive. So stop talking to the Press and sending agents to complain everywhere. Just buckle down and excel in training, so somebody is impressed enough to pay that 22 Million. No problem at all if you want to go. End of.
10.) 14 Jul 2024 23:55:33
Sepp is a better player than Phillips, Nat went on loan to Bunesliga 2,couldnt get a game for celtic. Meanwhile CB's on loan at Southampton last year are going for 20 mill, its certainly a fair price for Sepp!
11.) 15 Jul 2024 00:25:59
I don't get the furore around this lad, he's obviously not good enough for us, best for all involved that he finds a home somewhere else at his level.
12.) 15 Jul 2024 08:27:58
He qualifies as a homegrown player for us, so if he was to be sold the price would have a premium amount placed upon it.
13.) 15 Jul 2024 10:11:03
He has experience in the Bundesliga tho ArAy and highly thought of too. I mean you don’t get much these days for €22 million. I think it’s reasonable enough if you ask me.
14.) 15 Jul 2024 11:13:39
Irish, I have no real issue with VDB being worth 22 million. But then Phillips is worth more than 8 million consequently, and that Turkish club offered only 4 million. Phillips and Williams saved our neck that year when we had the CB crisis. He has enough EPL experience to be worth more than 8 million, I would say.
12 Jun 2024 13:41:30
Are the rumours true that we had a 100m bid for Rodrygo turned down by RM?
{Ed002's Note - Rodrygo Goes (F/S) Real Madrid have no interest in selling but PSG did ask for him as part of a deal for Mbappe before he let his contract run down. Many Liverpool fans think there is some sort of pre-contract to join them, but of course there isn't. He agreed a new contract at Real Madrid and won't be moving anytime soon unless something like a €150M offer is made, or he could perhaps be offered to Liverpool in a part exchange for Alexander Arnold, which Real Madrid maybe open to - as it will bring in some cash as well. Manchester United sent scouts and Manchester City may try to do something this summer. There will always be interest in him and with Mbappe arriving he may need to make his way back to the RW position - although the wide positions are areas where Real Madrid want more depth. Chelsea are also interested if he becomes available. Will likely stay.}
1.) 12 Jun 2024 17:00:49
Thanks Ed002 ?.
2.) 12 Jun 2024 18:45:41
A fit Jota is better.
3.) 13 Jun 2024 06:26:42
@Acered, did you pick . jota’s name out of a hat of people who are quite often injured?
15 May 2024 14:54:47
So Paul Joyce reporting that Klopp wanted to keep Matip this summer, surely a bizarre decision if true.
1.) 15 May 2024 15:03:44
What do you mean by ‘bizarre’?
2.) 15 May 2024 15:20:44
I’d still keep him. What’s the options? We not going to buy a cb. His experience has been missed.
3.) 15 May 2024 15:37:01
John, we've got a 22 year old CB in Sepp Van den Berg who grew up with the Dutch style of play and has just had a superb season at Mainz. We'd be mental not to give him a chance next season under Slot. Virgil will need rotating more and more going forward and Matip can't be relied on to be fit, nor can Konate.
4.) 15 May 2024 15:38:51
Bizarre in that he’s very injury prone and is still recovering from a very serious long term injury, he’s well into his 30’s so is only likely to have further injury issues and is on a very high salary. Would also be a waste of a non home grown space on a player who spends significant time on the treatment table rather than on the pitch, like Keita and Thiago. As good as Matip has been (and there is absolutely no denial he has been a very good player), we can’t offer a contract on the basis of sentimentality.
5.) 15 May 2024 16:31:12
Love Jurgen but have to admit I thought it would have been crazy too.
6.) 15 May 2024 16:39:48
IF Mati had stayed fit this season then I would have no hesitation in wanting him to stay but the guy has missed a lot of the season. It’s unfortunate as I really like the player but you can’t keep flogging a dead horse. He needs to move on and best of luck to him.
7.) 15 May 2024 17:24:02
Don’t understand why anyone would ask Klopp really when he’s already resigned.
{Ed002's Note - They work on considering players year around.
8.) 15 May 2024 18:24:00
I think that's its best for all that Matip is moved on,
at his peak, he was a fantastic defender, but now, he is better at a club in a lower league,
I agree with Big Virg being rotated, he is making errors now, and his age and past injury says that he needs more rest and recovery .
its really important that we do sign a quality centre back, left footed if possible .
9.) 15 May 2024 18:44:14
I think klopps finished. Imo he's past his best. Unless he goes to Madrid full of superstars when IF he were to sign he'd do well. Anywherelse he's getting found out. He's been making terrible decisions these past 3 years and it's cost us. He's forgotten what made him successful as a manager and his style of play.
10.) 15 May 2024 19:13:22
Unfortunately Klopp has a number of crucial blind spots that another season may turn fans against him / sour his relationship. I now think it’s a good time for him to leave and give someone else a go.
11.) 15 May 2024 19:27:46
Virgil Van Dijk is going to want to play the majority of games, whether for us or any of the top teams on the planet. Think people should be careful what they wish for.
12.) 15 May 2024 17:30:23
Ok that’s a fair point, I thought it was a recent revelation. ?.
13.) 15 May 2024 17:37:32
Matip's contribution to the squad morale and feel-good factor is undeniable. He may be the most popular player in the current squad. Much would have come down to wages, although its all conjecture now, anyway.
Ed's, do you still believe SVDB will not get a chance, as you had stated previously?
{Ed002's Note - The new coach may give him a chance in preseason.}
14.) 15 May 2024 19:46:34
What Virgil wants and what his body is capable aren’t going to be the same thing forever. At some point we will have to manage his game time to ensure he’s in top condition when in matters. Even the greats like Terry, Vidic, Ramos and Thiago Silva slowed down eventually.
15.) 15 May 2024 20:10:26
Slot was a coach at PEC Zwolle when Van der berg was coming through their youth system wasn’t he? Hopefully he’ll want to give one of his old boys chance.
16.) 15 May 2024 21:09:12
Matip was the first choice partner for Virgil. Let him move on and bring in a new partner.
17.) 15 May 2024 22:26:59
Svdb, You want to bring him back from a team he doing well at to play every now and then for us? Yeh he going to be chomping at the bit.
18.) 15 May 2024 22:40:17
@VV - I happen to agree with you (and most others) that it’s time for Matip to move on. That wan’t the point of the question. Klopp’s track record with a number of players - Millie, Hendo, VVD, Adrian and even Matip himself, as examples - is that he values contributions to the squad as part of his assessment of a person’s worth to the club and not just to the ‘ideal’ starting 11.
The fact that he has been doing this at the club for almost a decade (and at his previous club) would seem to say that is is normal behaviour and not ‘bizarre’ at all, which is why I asked the question.
19.) 16 May 2024 00:27:51
Seem to remember Klopp saying that the club needed to do right by Matip and reward him w a new contract just after his latest injury. So I don't think it's surprising to hear that Klopp wanted to renew. Sentiment 101 but for me it's time. Injury record etc just not a wise move. I don't see that he'll have an issue getting a chance at a new club. He's been great for us but sentiment has cost us before.
20.) 16 May 2024 08:35:52
Not sure I saw Matip’s contribution to the club outside of starting 11 helping us out over the last few months.
21.) 16 May 2024 10:47:15
Agreed that Matip should be moved on. There's no real benefit to keeping him any longer.
But the one thing I feel I need to say is that part about him being "well into his 30s". He'll be turning 33 this year and that's still objectively his early-thirties. Maybe past his prime in footballing terms but still not that old.
22.) 16 May 2024 11:16:40
Depends what the narrative is I suppose.
23.) 16 May 2024 13:41:28
We now have grammar policing on here, where does it end.
24.) 16 May 2024 13:51:01
If Klopp was at City he’d still have Sterling and Sane out wide. Laporte at the back and ancient David Silva in midfield. World class manager but far too loyal and unable to let go.
25.) 16 May 2024 13:51:54
More concerned about Joyce coming out with more hit pieces on Klopp and his flawed recruitment choices. Even if it is true, what is the value in these pieces now that he is off?
26.) 16 May 2024 13:59:54
Might have to ask nike to change the red of Liverpool to a shade of oranje at this rate with the amount of Dutch players we could have on the books . That was one thing that shocked me in klopps tenure the lack of Germans in the team .
27.) 16 May 2024 21:36:58
@Mcgoveb, it ends with a full stop, of course.
I assume you mean the questioning of the word ‘bizarre’? If so then you have simply misunderstood the question wasn’t about grammar.
18 Apr 2024 19:51:50
The Real Estate rumors continue with word Amorim's agent has rented a property in Liverpool ????, maybe it's the agents holiday home.
1.) 19 Apr 2024 05:25:57
Another real estate rumour is fabio carvalhos house is up for sale also.
So he must be on the move.
2.) 19 Apr 2024 13:28:10
Even more good news is that Nagelsmann has extended his contract to be Germany manager. This has been confirmed by Kirsty Allsopp who said he’s pulled out of getting a semi, nothing to do with houses, just that he’s always thinking with his trouser Mauser. I.
3.) 19 Apr 2024 14:29:06
Klopp for Germany when Nagelsman leaves I imagine.
4.) 19 Apr 2024 15:05:04
Leaves = sacked in Nagelsmann’s case. But the good news is he’s not coming here.
5.) 19 Apr 2024 19:14:49
Sure someone mentioned Klopp could take the Real Madrid job when ancellottis contract ends.
6.) 19 Apr 2024 23:15:20
Zero chance.
7.) 19 Apr 2024 23:47:58
So Nagelsman’s contract runs out in 2026, Ancelotti’s contract runs out in 29026, I think Alonso’s contract runs out in 2026 and Jurgen might be coming back from his sabbatical with the German national team and Real Madrid potentially wanting managers.
Seems pretty straightforward to me. Jurgen has said he’d like to manage Germany and Real Madrid seem sweet on their ex player.
14 Aug 2023 17:39:02
This rumour about us replacing Alli with AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan must be the craziest story yet this summer and there's been some doozies in the last few weeks, nonsense I presume Ed2?
{Ed002's Note - It would be a huge surprise but Chelsea do need to add a GK and Alison would be a decent option.}
1.) 14 Aug 2023 18:30:58
I read that Klopp is the one to be blamed as he is the sporting director and Jorg is just his mouthpiece - hired on his recommendation. He went against Edwards for Henderson's contract, notoriously stubborn with favorite players and targets. Edwards and Julian decided to leave as they do not feel their views are necessary anymore. By the way, Klopp does like to tap on players too.
Don't shoot the messenger.
{Ed077's Note - #Kloppout time already?}
2.) 14 Aug 2023 18:33:49
Love it ?.
3.) 14 Aug 2023 18:34:38
Love it Ed, sell him, it wouldn’t be the stupidest thing the idiots in charge have done this summer.
4.) 14 Aug 2023 18:44:39
Why not upgrade from pochettino to klopp while at it.
5.) 14 Aug 2023 18:46:44
Klopp has his faults like any other human-being. Now is not the time for the blame game. This is the realm of the big boys with fat wallets. Money and good management talks, bull walks.
6.) 14 Aug 2023 18:15:32
I don't think anyone's going to take the bait, Ed02.
7.) 14 Aug 2023 18:17:39
Becker walks into the Chelsea side Ed002!
{Ed002's Note - And the need a GK so should suit everyone.}
8.) 14 Aug 2023 18:25:44
Prepare for the drama Ed, ???.
9.) 14 Aug 2023 18:31:18
Oh ed002, you are awful. That comment will get the trolls foaming at the mouth?.
10.) 14 Aug 2023 18:46:47
Oh, how I wish I had access to so much inside information.
11.) 14 Aug 2023 18:46:55
All went to rubbish when edwards left to be fair.
12.) 14 Aug 2023 18:55:58
We already need to give Kelleher game time, and I am sure Chelsea will offer to pay over a 10 year period and that would guarantee us income for the next 10 years so it's a win-win.
13.) 14 Aug 2023 19:18:38
We are going with a spider keeper this year and using Ali in DM, he is excited by the switch in position and can't wait to showcase it against Bournemouth. He was willing to move to Chelsea but after they got two shiny new ones he was no longer interested in the 15 year contract they were willing to offer.

06 Jun 2024 16:02:33
Hi Ed's, just wondering if any of you had put up a post explaining the FFP and the issue with City. I try not to get too engrossed in the reporting but I have always wondered how could City build the phenomenal squad they have but Newcastle haven't come anywhere close to spending that money and building another awesome squad to compete against City's.
If it causes too much drama then no worries, I just thought when Newcastle were bought we were about to see City 2.0 with the money the Newcastle owners have. If there's a link or search term I'd love to read up on this.
Many thanks either way.
{Ed001's Note - try the Man City page, there is plenty of info on there I believe.}
1.) 06 Jun 2024 23:03:11
I did this yesterday.
There is a lot of information.
I scrolled down……
Page 1 in mancity’s rumour page stretches back to 2023 ??.
04 May 2024 16:02:27
You all see the video of Klopp having his trackie pulled down in a bar, very funny and takes it really really well laughing along with the crowd.
1.) 04 May 2024 17:02:46
No can you provide link.
2.) 04 May 2024 17:51:25
You obviously no it’s not really him, it’s Ray Cornwell who impersonates him and it’s an old video too.

Not many matches missed there.
He turns up and he scores and creates goals year after year.
It's no wonder he's knackered ?.
Wonderful servant to the club, as is Klopp, and nothing that happens this season will tarnish that.
2.) 25 Apr 2024 22:47:42
He is a legend but unfortunately time waits for no man, replacing him will be near impossible but when he weren't there this season we were better more of a team, no one likes change but we are going to see more players leave than expected.
3.) 26 Apr 2024 07:07:49
Who is going to unexpectedly leave, hailstones?
Salah is still contracted for next season, isn't he?
4.) 26 Apr 2024 10:05:02
Even in the season that he’s clearly showing signs of decline he’s still likely to finish the season with 20 goals. He’s one of the greatest wingers to grace the game in this country and the best winger ever to play in the premier league, without question. Absolutely a club legend and deserves to be discussed in the same breathe as Dalglish, Keegan, Rush, Barnes, Hunt, Liddell etc.
5.) 26 Apr 2024 11:28:26
Even though when I seen him play for Basel I knew he would be special. I did not expect the goal scoring machine he became. My dream then was that he would play for Liverpool one day, well he only went and did that and exceeded all expectations. It is sad when players lose their mojo his decline reminds me of Torres. Thanks for everything Mo you have been class. Now could you please leave and get us some money in the coughers so we can buy a player that has not forgotten how to play football.
26 Jul 2024 14:59:13
If he could pick up some of Rodney's skills during that loan it could be a wonderful spell for Danns and inevitably for us.
26 Jul 2024 14:52:34
What about Simao and Fekir ?.

VV has also said he really likes Ederson in a thread below.
Plenty knocking VV but I enjoy his posts and opinions, not a sheep that's for sure and stands by his beliefs. It's good to have on a Banter site.
26 Jul 2024 19:08:20
Pep Lijnders going to be the baddie in the next Scooby Doo cartoon.
26 Jul 2024 14:51:50
Nobody allowed to approach the ref, Nobody, not even the captain. Have it like Rugby and the ref calls captains if he needs to make a point. This would drastically change soccer right down to kids level which would in my opinion be the easiest, fastest and best change to the game.
26 Jul 2024 14:48:23
Always good to see it being turned onto Lynders, God forbid someone would criticize Klopp.
24 Jul 2024 16:09:26
Maybe Slot saw the abuse Southgate got re LB's so decided to bring lots of them so he doesn't get the same ?.
23 Jul 2024 21:50:49
Lobbing the keeper, we used to play that.
