Eds.
This isn't meant to be a fantasy football question, but we continue to see Mbappe linked with Liverpool, even PSG's Leonardo having mentioned LFC in a statement a little while ago.
Had the player ever really considered moving to Anfield?
I don't want to kick off silly comments from the peanut gallery, and all the comments around finances.
{Ed002's Note - I did not know the Leonardo had said Liverpool have approached PSG about Mbappe. Obviously if that is the case, then Liverpool have found some significant funds from somewhere.}
1.) 06 Apr 2022 18:59:14
Did you not hear about our NFT’s….
2.) 06 Apr 2022 17:30:54
Tha ks for response Ed2. It was reported in early March (easy to find on Google) his statement wasn't as direct as that and he mentioned Real at the same time.
I recall something to the effect that Klopp went to Monaco to talk to the player before he signed for PSG. I take it from your response there have never been any (known) further discussions within the club, nor between the club and the player or his reps?
{Ed002's Note - I am afraid I really don’t know anything about such a statement from Leonardo. I am not aware of Liverpool speaking recently to the player. A third party who will help negotiate any move has spoken with a couple of other clubs but I am not aware of Liverpool proposing anything at this time. My understanding remains is that Liverpool would like to resolve the gap between Salah’s demands and whatever offer Liverpool has made.}
3.) 06 Apr 2022 20:53:26
Love it southern red haha.
4.) 06 Apr 2022 22:59:05
Thanks Ed2.
Are you able to say which clubs, or can we find the answer on The European page?
I'd like Salah to stay a few more years yet. We've made some good signings up front, and Bowen may be another good option but I still think we're well placed enough for him to go.
5.) 07 Apr 2022 10:20:50
Mbappe isn’t happening, end of.
6.) 07 Apr 2022 20:23:50
Wasn’t it reported around the same time he was leaving Monaco, that he went on a jet with John Henry and Mbappe family.
I’m not sure if true butt I have read that a number of times.
23 Jan 2022 17:26:24
What's happening with Saul, Eds?
Could we be looking to him?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea have an option on Saul and may or may not take it up - I suspect they won't and will look to integrate Conor Gallagher instead. Another side has asked to be kept informed of the situation as we move toward the summer - none of this includes Liverpool.}
1.) 23 Jan 2022 21:10:39
Cheers Ed2.
He hasn't really done it at Chavski, I thought they'd pulled off quite a coup signing him.
{Ed002's Note - It has been a step change for the player moving to a different league. It has taken time to settle.}
2.) 24 Jan 2022 08:39:58
Chelsea "likely" not making it permanent due to other reasons (finances? ) or they are not convinced by him?
{Ed002's Note - Try the Chelsea page.}
05 Jul 2021 17:17:40
Ings free in a year. although @ 29yo might not be what we need.
Still gutted he had all his set backs whilst with us.
1.) 05 Jul 2021 20:58:36
This won’t be popular on here but I’d prefer a fit Ings and his undeniable finishing skills over Bobby and then Bobby either as no 10 providing assists or rotating with Ings.
2.) 05 Jul 2021 21:00:42
I could be wrong but I think city have an interest in Ings. Can any of the Ed’s shed some light on which clubs are interested in Ings?
{Ed002's Note - Try the Southampton page.}
3.) 05 Jul 2021 21:12:35
Don’t think they’ll rotate Kane often. If he does he’ll end up like Ake ie back up so may as well rejoin us and rotate with Bobby. I’d be highly surprised if we sign him though.
4.) 05 Jul 2021 21:58:37
If Kane goes, I guess Spurs could do far worse than Danny Ings.
5.) 05 Jul 2021 23:16:19
I don't see klopp looking backwards with Ings.
6.) 06 Jul 2021 00:55:45
Ings is a top bloke and a good player, but he’s also very injury prone, so it’s a no regrettably.
7.) 06 Jul 2021 06:06:44
Imagine signing Ings konate and sanchez after the injury ravaged season we have had🤣
I mean edwards has done great but this will be scissorhands moment for him.
8.) 06 Jul 2021 09:40:41
Konate is not injury prone he had one bad injury and a few niggles on return just ask VVD will no doubt have this year.
05 Mar 2021 13:28:33
Hiya.
Please don't @me if it's been done or not a reasonable ask 😬 but would it be possible for Ed2, say with those amazing detailed notes, to give a brief run down of who specifically the club is looking at in a single post - and who those players are viewed as a replacement for?
Many thanks.
ðŸ™.
{Ed002's Note - Ask in a couple of weeks when I will have time.}
1.) 06 Mar 2021 06:29:45
Cheers Ed.
V grateful ðŸ™.
11 Dec 2015 09:15:57
Eds, hi.
Thanks for particularly great responses recently.
Any chance of getting an update on what JK's view is to our various loanees and if any might return either in Jan or beyond.
Particularly keen to hear about Markovic, Ilori, and Wisdom, but also the youngsters yet to really have a run in the first team.
Also, where's Flanno with his injury?
Ta, as always.
Rob.
{Ed001's Note - right now it doesn't look like anything will change with regard to those out on loan for the season. Klopp is still assessing things, both those out on loan and the options within the club. He will continue to chat with the loanees and see how they are getting on, so it will only be those who are not making progress on loan that are likely to be considered for a recall. Potentially Wisdom, though Norwich paid money for the loan, so they might not be willing to tear up the contract.
Flanno is, right now, possibly back for the busy Christmas period, but he will need to be eased back or he will suffer like Sturridge.}
1.) 12 Dec 2015 09:30:10
Cheers Ed, do you know if those three would be keen on a Liverpool return? I heard Markovic and Ilori were both very frustrated prior to their loan moves, with Ilori hoping the loan to buy option would be fulfilled.
Cheers again.
{Ed001's Note - Ilori is still considering his options, he did want out but managers have come and gone and he is unsure. Markovic just wants to play, as does Wisdom. All three would happily come back if they are going to be given a chance to prove themselves. Wisdom is particularly keen to have a future with us.}
2.) 12 Dec 2015 09:31:11
And great news about Flanno!

Question for Ed1.
Was reading a post from 2023 about Ramario v Suarez.
You're always an insightful read.
Got to thinking.
Who's your all time Liverpool FC picks for
Striker
Mid
CB/ FB
Keeper
I'm a child of the 80s, so I think back to Rush and Barnes, King Kenny then Torres, Suarez, and now of course Salah. Hard to pick.
Mids, Stevie G, Alonso. But so many across the decades.
Defenders, Hansen? Hypiia? VVD?
I know the game has changed, so where does someone like Trent fit in to this?
Keepers. We've had some diamonds but I've got a special place in my heart for Bruce (I'm a Zimbo), but is Becker perhaps the only true worldie we've had?
{Ed001's Note - keepers is the easy one, I loved Brucie, met him a few times and he was a great keeper, but Alisson is the best I have ever seen. I believe him to be the GOAT keeper in the whole of football, not just with us, so it has to be him.
Full-back is difficult. Rob Jones was by far the best defensively I have seen but Trent's delivery is unbelievable. I would still pick Jones though, because he was just so good as a defender.
Centre-back has to be Hansen. Hyypia was too slow and simply not as good as Hansen anyway. Lawrenson and van Dijk would be the two close to him, but I just think overall it would be Hansen. Very close though.
Midfield would be Souness. Alonso was a better player overall, but not until after he left us. Gerrard would be the best if he had just had the right mindset when it came to defending. He had the technical ability at every level of the game and in every way to be the best, but would get caught napping defensively far too often. That led to dangerous tackles in the box when he just needed to be alert to the danger and see it out.
Left side would be Barnes by a mile. Mane was great, but Barnes was unbelievably good.
Right side would be Salah. Though if Gerrard had stayed there, instead of throwing his toys out of the pram and refusing to play there, I think he would have been the best we had there.
Striker is Fowler. He was special, just injuries that cost him. Torres was close but just didn't do it for long enough. Suarez was too much of a problem for the club, which ruined his time with us. Firmino didn't score enough. Rush was sensational but Fowler just had magic in his boots and could do it all, beat a man on the dribble, put a free kick top bin, pretty much anything. Actually no, Dalglish. It has to be Dalglish. Truly legendary player.}
1.) 24 Apr 2024 12:55:58
I would love to have Prime Fowler in our current team. He would ruin riot.
I often see people on Facebook suggesting Owen was a better player than Fowler. Absolutely blows my mind.
2.) 24 Apr 2024 13:01:07
Difficult so many great players so cannot disagree with Ed at all there. KK was special though
Up the pool.
3.) 24 Apr 2024 13:15:40
"Digger" was immense. He would be untouchable had he played in this era, IMO.
4.) 24 Apr 2024 13:27:36
Agree on all but Trent, Ed. He's a unicorn and has to be ahead of Jones.
Left back? Is Robbo in the reckoning? Aurelio was brilliant but always injured. Phil Neal used to play left back from time to time, apparently. Alan Kennedy probably gets it.
5.) 24 Apr 2024 13:44:03
Great reply Ed. Ta.
Obviously I loved God also, maybe it was just a pity we didn't have home long enough and he was with us when we were a bit. lost? . After Kenny's time, which was the end of an era of our great managers.
Shame it went so wrong second time around.
Big love, Reds.
6.) 24 Apr 2024 14:16:16
Rob Jones was excellent but it's Steve Nicol at right back, for me.
Poor pundit, mind.
Mark Lawrenson was that good he could play left back and that would allow VVD to play alongside Hansen.
7.) 24 Apr 2024 14:18:27
It’s mental how Rushie who will likely be our highest goal scorer forever never seems to get thought of amongst our greatest players.
When we mention our best strikers automatically we think Fowler, Suarez and Torres etc.
We even nicknamed a forward that came after him god despite him scoring only just over half the amount that Rushie did.
Let’s be honest though as fans we have certainly been spoilt over the years with some absolute fabulous footballers.
8.) 24 Apr 2024 12:44:53
Love it Ed, especially the twist at the end!
Great question Robboz, I'm also of the same vintage, started following the side in the early-mid 80s.
Hansen was just so majestic, whilst looking like a Bambi on ice when he ran - all angles and knees! I'd definitely pick him, as well as agreeing with Becker in goal.
Midfield is a really tough one, and as I sit here looking at a signed photo of Stevie from 2005, it has to be him. Souness was on the way out or had left by the time I registered our players - earliest midfield I remember was McMahon and Molby - so it'd definitely be Stevie for me.
Has to be Fowler for me up front - King Kenny was slightly before my time, was was player-managing mainly, and Rush was close, but as Ed001 said, God could do EVERYTHING!
Prime Fowler with prime Gerrard behind him - just amazing! A pity that by the time Gerrard established himself in midfield, God was suffering from injuries and falling out of favour with Ged in favour of the blue eyed boy - Owen (*spit*)
{Ed001's Note - I can't believe I forgot left-back! But that is the toughest one as we never really had great left-backs. Even Robbo, much as I love him, has a lot of flaws. But it would have to be Robbo I think. Aurelio was never fit. And none of the others that I can remember were outstanding. In fact I would say Nicol is probably the best I can remember. Or Lawrenson, but I only really remember him at centre-back. So I would have to go with Robertson.
As for the twist, Dalglish was fading by my time, so I wasn't going to say him, but then I remembered how good he was even in his final days. He was just a player ahead of his time. He was a Firmino who scored regularly. Paisley would move him around to suit the opposition because he knew Dalglish was so good he could play whatever role he was asked to.}
9.) 24 Apr 2024 13:40:48
Left back ed1? Robbo not doubt best I've seen in my time anyway.
{Ed001's Note - yeah it would have to be him, we haven't really been blessed in terms of left-back in terms of outright ability.}
10.) 24 Apr 2024 15:29:49
Kennedy for his European cup winner.
11.) 24 Apr 2024 17:54:08
Rush would be my number 9, without a doubt.
Dalglish as 7. He was an unbelievable player. He had a fantastic football brain but he was incredibly strong which often gets overlooked. Opponents would talk about him backing into them with his big backside. He could be a target man and a brilliant number 10 all in one.
12.) 24 Apr 2024 18:01:51
Alan kennedy left back for me over robbo Kennedy scored important goals that won us big trophies and was a top defender . The late great Ray Kennedy should be in any midfield what a left peg he had . jockey and larwo
Outstanding right back Chris lawler he was a attacking full back before it was invented and a goal scorer.
13.) 24 Apr 2024 18:29:57
Lb stig or riise where decent to be honest, Steve Staunton was very good too. But robbo takes it for me 2nd I’d have riise.
14.) 24 Apr 2024 19:02:27
Alison is the best keeper I've ever seen in my life. Full stop. Some are better shot stoppers, some are better passers.
There has never been such a good one on one keeper while I've been alive. Also when do you see him drop shots, crosses or corner? Extremely rare.
Hansen is the best defender we've ever had and people who it's van dijk never saw Hansen play.
Midfield goes to Gerrard for me, had the talent and influence to change games alone and did so with often inferior team mates.
Striker is probably the hardest, my heart says Fowler or Torres but if we are being really really honest it's rush. He was a pressing forward at a time when almost nobody did it, scored massive amounts of goals in all kinds of games at all levels and was unbelievably dependable. Very rare rush went more than three games with no goals, and even when he did he turned up other aspects of his game.
Rush is probably the most complete striker ever to play for Liverpool.
15.) 24 Apr 2024 19:14:21
Edd001 what would you call robertsons flaws?
{Ed001's Note - his delivery is extremely inconsistent, brilliant at times, dreadful at others. But his biggest flaw is his rashness, he gets caught up field constantly chasing when he should have dropped off, or rushing out to cut out a ball he is never getting to. His positional sense is good, but he will forget it to rush out far too often. The other flaw is that he rarely, if ever, cuts out crosses. He stands off and lets the wideman put the ball in under little pressure. Though I think that must be an instruction as Trent does the same. I don't understand it though as it does not take much to get a step closer and pressure the man on the ball.}
16.) 24 Apr 2024 21:17:18
GK is a straight contest between Clemence and Alison. Only other worth consideration is Elisha Scott from way back in the day.
RB you'd happily take Trent and Rob Jones, after that your looking at Steve Finnan, Marcus Babbel, Phil Neal and Alvaro Arbeloa.
LB Alec Lindsay is the best we've had in the position, Emlyn Hughes was versatile enough to play CB and LB. John Arne Riise had that free kick but I'd be happy with Robbo backing up Lindsay.
CB it's a squad you'd be looking at Hansen, Van Dijk, Phil Thompson, Emlyn Hughes, Mark Lawrenson - and I have high hopes Quansah will eventually be amongst these legends.
CM Souness, Alonso, Gerrard, Mascherano and maybe Ronnie Whelan although I did love Jan Molby and Jimmy Case
RM/ LM Terry McDermott was different gravy getting 15+ goals year in, year out. Steve Heighway was as smooth as silk on the left Billy Liddell could play wide or up front. McManaman probably had his best days at Madrid. I love Luiz Diaz and Mo would probably get in here as a RM/ RW and of course John Barnes
Strikers: Dalglish, Rush, Kevin Keegan, John Aldridge, Fowler, Owen, Peter Beardsley, Torres, Sturridge, Suarez, Mane, Firmino - take your pick
Manager: Paisley, Klopp, Shankly - that would be a hell of a boot room lol.
24 Apr 2024 11:54:01
If it's Slot, Ed2 seriously is ahead of the game.
1.) 24 Apr 2024 12:10:59
The meltdown from 'fans' on Twitter is hilarious. As well as being super embarrassing.
2.) 24 Apr 2024 12:41:08
Not sure what there is to hand a meltdown about? Seems like a decent choice. If it was Kovac et al, sure, knock yourself out, but Slot seems like a sound choice.
3.) 24 Apr 2024 12:42:01
He'll slot in nicely.
4.) 24 Apr 2024 12:47:28
Meltdown mainly seems to be about the Dutch league being so poor so, therefore, Slot is rubbish. Because the Portuguese league is of such high quality obviously.
5.) 24 Apr 2024 12:51:36
VV, Niko Kovac? Oh, heck no. As for "The Sloter", if he's the guy then, so be it. At least he knows what it's like to win a title when you're not expected to cos in Holland if your name ain't Ajax or PSV, you don't win titles over in the Eredivisie.
6.) 24 Apr 2024 14:24:21
If we get anymore nicknames like the Slotter or Darwinzy then I’ll be suggesting that hardrives are checked by the authorities.
25 Jun 2022 08:52:46
Question for Ed 1 and Ed 666.
. And the gallery, of course.
Salah to RM may or may not be happening, but it does sound like the club is resigned to his leaving this summer or next. Personally, I'm fine with it.
I think the club have been wise to get the new blood (Jota, Diaz) in early. If Salah stays another year then Nunez will have a bit of time bed in also before the end of this cycle.
Not trolling at all, but look at Chelsea with Lukaku and even Werner, it hasn't worked out, no transition, and now they will throw money at it again.
With Nunez coming in, do you think JK is looking to evolve our game? New format in attack? Or are we still going to look for goals from a front three, whatever form that may take?
Would Jota be a starter or are we going to look to another when Salah goes?
Many thanks for your input, always.
{Ed0666's Note - I think the very big transfer of Nunez gives and indication we go 4321. I really think Nunez is gonna be his Lewa at Dortmund. He’s gonna have two in midfield doing the donkey work and supporting the full backs defensively and when they go further up the field which will afford us four attackers in theory. The problem with this formation is you need your midfield to be super disciplined and savvy let’s hope Naby bucks up his ideas.
1.) 25 Jun 2022 13:10:58
Ed666. Do u mean 4231?
{Ed0666's Note - yes i wrote it at 5am so I was still half asleep mate ?
2.) 25 Jun 2022 14:33:59
One way or another it’s starting to feel like it could be a very significant season for Liverpool under Klopp.
The loss of some players who’ve played a major part in the success to date, new younger players to assimilate with a possible further evolvement of style, all set against a backdrop of a World Cup-interrupted season and continued major investment by Man City.
3.) 25 Jun 2022 15:38:40
Ed6666. Thought so! Although for a minute I thought u changing system completely to get jota into team. ?
On serious note I see u reckon we better off selling Salah now, I can see where u coming from but big risk selling mane+ salah in the same window, that's 55 goals to be replaced from last season, and goodness knows how many assists.
On the 4231 system, we certainly have the players to play it. hendo, fab, thiago and possibly morton for the 2 and elliot, jones, carvalho all can play a role in the 3.
{Ed0666's Note - The big moan for me this pre season is not signing a quality midfielder to replace Fab when he’s out. But if we play 4231 this negates the need for a fab replacement as you have Hendo. Admittedly he hasn’t the same attributes as Fab in that position but realistically which midfielder whose worth his salt is gonna come and play 10-15 games a season and be a de facto understudy? If we play this new system we have enough depth and all signs are that we will indeed Pep has intimated as such. Also don’t forget there’s 5 subs allowed now so we l see a lot of The Ox, Elliot and Jones who are all midfielders. Am I the only one that hates that 5 subs rule? For me it’s messes up the whole dynamic and flow of a game. I am not a fan at all.
4.) 25 Jun 2022 15:45:54
Yeh Juice, this is definitely the start of Klopps 2nd team now. I think it’ll be a good season, we can manage with what we already have if we change the formation to 4231, but for me if it’s the usual 433 then we need that midfielder to win the league.
{Ed0666's Note - yeh it seems they are evolving the team in two seasons. Attack first (Nunez, Carvalho, Diaz) and midfield next summer when keita, The Ox will be out of contract, Thiago getting older, Milner leaving. I think Hendo will replace Milner as the captain that doesent play too often a few cameos off the bench but commands upmost respect on and off the pitch. I think the midfield next season will see an emphatic overhaul.
5.) 25 Jun 2022 16:34:15
Yeah ed666 if we go til 4231 u can certainly see a lot of benefits on paper, whether materialises on grass is something we will have to wait for. On the 5 subs rule I think if the authorities want the top players playing 60-70 games a season I don't see much way around it.
{Ed0666's Note - still don’t line it mate. 5 subs is too much. 4 would be better for me.
6.) 25 Jun 2022 18:16:01
Don't like it as we rely a lot on building momentum. The amount of in play time is reducing already. Seemed to be a growing trend of a team pretending to be bringing on a sub and then don't or change their mind who's coming off or going on. Think it will ruin the last 10 minutes of games and should be restricted to 1 sub each after 80 minutes.
7.) 25 Jun 2022 20:20:00
Ed0666, I undersand your concerns about the flow of the game, but the other side is the 5 subs rule will not only help utilize the squad more, but probably make people understand why 25 players are needed for a squad. The Eds know more than most, how often people on these pages restrict their thinking to the starting 11 only, as if that is the only thing that matters for a match. And even if there are only one or two substitutes in a game (which happens), I think that there's more time wasting and game-flow destruction due to the players already on the field.
Given that FIFA has allowed the full reserves to be played at the next World Cup in Qatar, I'll bet you anything that this is going to start seeping into the domestic leagues everywhere, bit by bit. They're allowing a squad of 26 players, 11 of which start the game, and any 5 of the 15 remaining, can enter the game as a substitute. I'm trying to figure out what the angle is here, but haven't found one yet. Clearly the richer clubs would benefit more from this than those who are not, but would FIFA and UEFA be so open and blatant about such a bias? There's got to be something else to this.
{Ed0666's Note - soon it will be American football mate and the ethos, soul and pleasure will have gone out of the game. In the CL final I had no clue who was on the pitch late in the game. It may benefit the players but for me the enjoyment isn’t there. Four subs would be a happy medium for me. Maybe there’s no angle maybe they are looking at player welfare or maybe there is a Machiavellian side to the decision? I really don’t care to be honest because I’ll be done with football probably tje to w when klopp leaves.
8.) 25 Jun 2022 21:45:35
He's extended twice, Ed0666. Watch him do it thrice, LOL. You're stuck with the game, whichever way it is played, then. ?.
9.) 26 Jun 2022 03:14:41
What quality midfielders can we sign to replace Fabinho when he is out lol.
23 Oct 2021 01:12:55
So for bantz.
Eds 1, 2, 666.
Put aside the money and improbability of it but, having watched him skied that pena, what's your thoughts on Mbappe?
{Ed001's Note - I haven't seen that but I don't judge players on penalties.}
1.) 23 Oct 2021 08:22:51
Good player. Not great yet. Salah better right now.
30 Sep 2021 20:53:39
Question for the Eds, 1,2, and 666 if they're all up for offering an opinion.
In light of what we're seeing at present with finances catching up with them, do you think La Liga will continue to have the draw it has done for the last few decades? Pretty much every top player has wanted to go play for either Real or Barca.
Neither club seems to be in a position to spend what they have done in the past. Barcelona seem like they're about to implode, frankly.
We've seen a fair few ayers leave for both clubs, and the question of Salah wanting to play for Real has got me to thinking - will these two still be the pinnacle for players to aspire to?
Ta muchly.
{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid are in decent shape and the draw of both clubs remains. But the draw of English sides has not gone away either.}
24 Aug 2023 18:59:29
Been a long old window this.
Why didn't we bid £115m for Bellingham. ?.
24 Aug 2023 06:29:49
I love that, after messing with other clubs for years (Willian, anyone? ), we made the Chavs overpay for Caicedo and Lavia by 10s of millions of pounds and pushed their wages up as well.
Take the win, dudes.
07 Aug 2023 22:47:31
If £4m is nothing, maybe we should have a whip round? I've got a tenner.
07 Aug 2023 22:45:44
MullingarRed. What level of teams have you headed up if a) you can't even spell naivety (predictive text even) and b) you're slumming it on here with the likes of us average, clueless folks?
That said, I can agree with most sentiments on here. £50m seems an awful lot for a player, but as both Klopp and Guardiola have said, the Saudi League has changed the landscape.
My perception is £50m ain't going to get you what it was a year ago. It's a seller's market right now.
Negotiations take time, frustrating though it is for us. I reckon Mac Allister and Szoboszlai were in the works long before we became aware. It's just that now the window is open we all want to see results. Especially now we're close to kick off.
Also, people would be saying what good business we've done of we'd got him for less than £50m. It is what it is.

Can we have some new jokes on here, please chaps? Two weeks in Butlins has been done a few times.
Sorry, not sorry.
Nothing personal.
Maybe I'm just grumpy we haven't sealed more deals earlier on the window.

Great reply Ed. Ta.
Obviously I loved God also, maybe it was just a pity we didn't have home long enough and he was with us when we were a bit. lost? . After Kenny's time, which was the end of an era of our great managers.
Shame it went so wrong second time around.
Big love, Reds.

I reckon a min of. 2 seasons to be competitive. That's what it took us, really.
I think he's as good an appointment as Jose, but the thing will be the relationship between the manager and the board, which is where - in my opinion - things went wrong for Jose. That and losing the dressing room. With so many players possibly moving on (1-2 seasons, coincidentally) ETH maybe has a better chance than Jose of succeeding beyond a 2nd place league finish and a Europa League because he can recruit players in his own image.
Have Utd not perhaps had to sign an agreement to not poach players, Eds?
{Ed0666's Note - I dont know about any agreement not to poach players I wouldn’t think so as Ajax are a selling club traditionally. Ten Hag will get rid of all the trouble makers and bring in proper professionals, player he knows/trusts so there will be little opportunity for mutiny I would have thought.

Naz, you better believe Mo would be the GOAT if he played for any of their clubs.
This is the way it goes, we all have our bias, but it's hard to see who could realistically be said to be better than him these last few seasons.
Ballon d'Or/ FIFA award just seems a farce.

I reckon we should go all out. We're pretty much guaranteed second, even if we lose, which means we can go for it today from a relatively secure position.
A draw means we're then relying on City to slip up, which they may well do but equally may not.
If we want to win the league we have to be looking for close to maximum points from here on out.

Nice to laugh at the old foe, better to laugh when we've beaten them at their best.
However. what a bloody mess.
