Ed002, just seen a rumour that PSG might be interested in Keita, any legs to it or would his past indiscretions rule out a move anyway?
{Ed002's Note - It seems unlikely to me but their new DoF is working hard to refine their targets.}
1.) 31 May 2022 13:39:27
Is that new DoF Mbappe, Ed002?
2.) 31 May 2022 13:53:07
Please be true. He is ideal for the French league.
3.) 31 May 2022 14:05:43
The new DoF will probably have to run it past Mbappe first lol 😂.
4.) 31 May 2022 14:12:20
Plz be true.
{Ed0666's Note - 2 hopes Bob & no…
21 May 2022 15:39:27
Ed002, sorry if this has been asked already today. It looks like mbappe is staying in Paris, with Haaland at City could this open the door for Salah to get his wish and be back of interest for real?
{Ed002's Note - It is possible but right now it seems unlikely. Real Madrid have other options they have been working on but they have to deal with a balancing act that sees departing wide players and bringing in younger players as they work to keep wages down. They could keep just two of their wingers, add replacements and improve on their striking options and some will argue that might be money better spent.
1.) 21 May 2022 18:01:41
When Real get Edwards and change their MO, it is going to be tough to ever be first choice for any player.
2.) 22 May 2022 01:20:54
I agree Edwards leaving is going to be a huge loss, let's hope his successor learn from him well.
{Ed001's Note - why do people rave about Edwards? What has he done that is so special? He doesn't pick transfer targets, he has ended up having to overpay on every target due to the terms we could offer. The wage bill has risen massively under him and he struggled to offload surplus players due to our wages for fringe players being so high. Not sure what is so special about him that has made Liverpool fans rave so much about him.}
3.) 22 May 2022 08:51:04
Never looked at edwards like that ed1 it doesn’t make him look good at all.
{Ed001's Note - it is not all his fault. He had to overpay for targets as the club was hamstrung with a lack of upfront cash to pay, so had to agree to pay more over the term of payment to get the deals done. But that then meant we had even less cash for the next deal. Hence why we are left paying off lots of deals that are already done, such as for Jota.}
4.) 22 May 2022 12:16:13
Cheers ed1 great answer as always.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate. It is a difficult one, he was working with one hand sort of tied behind his back, so difficult to judge him, but what he did was hardly earth shattering. He seems to have rode the Klopp-bandwagon, rather than being a key component of it, imo.}
5.) 22 May 2022 19:10:47
Ed001, I think a lot of people are impressed with the amounts he got for the sale of some of our players - Coutinho, Brad Smith, Jordon Ibe, Dominic Solanke, Rhian Brewster, Mamadou Sakho and others. I agree that some of the purchases from the view of amounts, terms and agents' fees have been quite high.
20 Jul 2021 16:50:50
No space in the 22 for Harry Wilson or Neco, I'm guessing both are nearing moves. No nat either so he may be closer to the door.
1.) 20 Jul 2021 16:59:18
Neither Wilson nor Williams have unpacked their suitcases yet.
2.) 20 Jul 2021 17:21:49
Wilson and Williams only arrived yesterday. Kelleher and Phillips not involved either so are both out the door?
3.) 20 Jul 2021 17:42:26
Karius playing so he's our number 1 now.
4.) 20 Jul 2021 18:40:05
I forgot that they were at the euros so came back late. Its been a long day! Either way I'd still expect wilson to be gone by season start.
5.) 20 Jul 2021 18:01:04
Waste of time even starting the season. 1-1 with weed wacker fc and losing to Stuttgart. If we don't sign Oblak, Pavard, Kante, Mbappe and Haaland among others then we'll never get top 4.
6.) 20 Jul 2021 21:07:25
The sad thing is OMM is that there are probably fans posting pretty much that on Tw@tter and won't be joking either.
7.) 20 Jul 2021 21:43:45
I think you mean ‘people’ rather than ‘fans’ Flash.
8.) 20 Jul 2021 22:05:22
100% Flash. I'd call them idiots though not fans.
9.) 20 Jul 2021 18:01:04

Anything in the minimino to saints rumour ed002?
{Ed002's Note - H was offered to a number of sides.}
16 Sep 2020 11:25:36
So apparently Brewster is off to Shef United, I think this is a great deal for all parties personally.
The lad needs to be playing week in week out for a couple of seasons if he is to hit his potential. We get money in now to invest in players that Klopp feels can help now rather than helping in 3-4 years time.
If it works out we will likely have first refusal, the player may be willing to come back as we have allowed him to leave for his benefit. If it doesn’t we have pocketed some cash for someone that hasn’t developed as hoped at the height of his value.
It is smart business all round in my opinion and if there is a buy back figure it will likely be lower than his perceived value in a few years time. And he is working under wilder who will keep him on the straight and narrow.
I am a huge fan of his but if he stuck around is he even going to make the bench? And that just isn’t good for his development.
{Ed025's Note - your spot on WYred mate..
1.) 16 Sep 2020 11:40:37
Do we have any idea what kind of fee we may be likely to get? What was Liverpools valuation of him?
{Ed025's Note - not at the moment snoots, it will be getting thrashed out as we speak mate..
2.) 16 Sep 2020 11:49:28
Ah, well we Usualy get decent fees, I know it's random but if we could get enough together to bid for patson daka, he looks a good prospect could take game time off our front three I think.
{Ed025's Note - i think if money is available snoots then thiago will be one to be coming in mate..
3.) 16 Sep 2020 11:52:54
We would never buy him back. we need to take that myth away. Let's wish the kid has a stellar career at Sheffield or beyond. At least we aren't making any fake promises to the lad.
4.) 16 Sep 2020 12:08:33
Harry, why wouldn't we buy him back if he proved good enough and there was a position available for him? Truth is none of know what the future holds but do dismiss that we could potentially buy him back seems crazy to me.
5.) 16 Sep 2020 12:08:45
Stop leading us down the garden path ed, I am at me whits end with the thiago buisness.
{Ed025's Note - hes the one jurgen wants mate, i would have thought cover for the front 3 myself but its hard to argue with mr klopp..
6.) 16 Sep 2020 12:28:27
The Lad is good today But he is a proper center forward, something we don't play with. Brewster like Danny Ings is a very good striker. This sale has nothing to do with him needs to prove a thing.
7.) 16 Sep 2020 12:43:44
It’s kinda strange that we let a homegrown out to get Thiago where we are well stocked in midfield unless we are pushing Fab as backup for CB and Gini as CDM.
However, with Brewster going, the cards will be shifting around for movements.
8.) 16 Sep 2020 12:43:53
But harry that's how we play today, in 3-4 years we may have an entirely different system.
9.) 16 Sep 2020 12:54:45
WYred
Sheffield might sell him next summer or maybe in two years, we don't know. Not sure what the clauses are but if there are clauses then the price also decreases. We are not looking at 3-4 years for sure.
10.) 16 Sep 2020 13:30:21
Whilst I wish he stayed, fair enough. If he isn't getting game time and playing every few games for at least 45 mins and starting cup games, I don't blame him. I do think it's a weird transfer as he's HG and looked an absolute baller, played very well for Swansea. I just hope we have a buy back clause in, because if he ends up scoring double digits for SU this season, I'd love him back, we definitely need cover for the front 3, and Ox/ Shaq/ Origi haven't been doing it for me. I would have preferred selling Origi to Villa and keep Brewster, mainly for HG benefit. Oh well, hope he has a great career at SU! Wilder is a good coach and I'm sure he'll do well there.
11.) 16 Sep 2020 19:53:32
Don’t forget about our Japanese pocket rocket! I’d say we are doing well if Brewster leaves and Thiago comes in. Cover for the front three looks like Minamino - ox- Origi- Shaq. That doesn’t look too bad does it? It’s looking possible that Sarr could be added to the mix. That would make a pretty decent window for us!
{Ed025's Note - that cover for the front 3 looks very very weak to me redman, the only one who looks half decent to me would be minamino mate, the other 3 would do well to get a game for rochdale..
12.) 17 Sep 2020 04:22:51
If a deal includes any sort of a buy back that would make him a valuable future option and we get 20 or 25mil income now it can only make sense as it's a risk with very little chance of causing us regret. If you asked me would I prefer thiago in our team for next 2 or 3 years or Brewster I'd 100% say thiago. If the buy back option looks good value compared to his future progression then we could nab a potential bargain when Firmino is no longer our no.9. To receive 20+ for a player yet to play in premier league and only 6months first team involvement at championship level would be silly to turn down. He could either be a solanke or an ings. We would love to have a situation where ings could be re signed at a good price or else be satisfied that we got paid well for solanke and never seek to bring back. Sheffield Utd will know that they can't guarantee to be in a position of strenght in a few years where they could expect to demand much higher fees for him than maybe 30 or 40mil potential buy back fee. The likes of pogba and sancho going on to become so valuable when let go for so little must have frustrated United and city but negotiating with those top clubs made it unlikely they would agree to a buy back where as with sheff Utd it could work out for both parties. Ed are you aware if the likes of iheanacho or moise kean for example were let move with something similar in their contracts as big clubs letting hot prospects leave must want to consider the possibility of future success. Madrid have done this with carvajal, morata and recently hakimi all becoming twice their value over 12 months. Didn't bayern bring gnabry from Bremen at cut price? I'm not 100% sure on that one. Are there many notable big players who were used in that way?
{Ed0666's Note - What I want for Xmas is for you to start using paragraphs in you’re posts.

I am going to remain positive in this run in, I always prefer us chasing then being out in front. The pressure is off a little and hopefully that will reflect in how they play. We all know we should of won that in the first half but just weren’t clinical enough, with Ali Jota and Trent all due back soon I think that is a massive boost in itself.
As for who we are chasing, Arsenal have by far the toughest run in, and play a spurs team who would like nothing more then to spoil the party. Then there are city, where on paper it’s only spurs who should cause them problems.
For me, if we win our last 7 it’s ours but if we don’t and lose it to Arsenal on GD, we only have ourselves to blame!
1.) 08 Apr 2024 12:39:23
I only see City winning. They have by far the easiest fixtures and the experience of winning titles. I reckon Arsenal and Liverpool will drop points, whereas I see City winning their remaining 7 matches.
2.) 08 Apr 2024 12:42:17
Arsenal may well have the toughest run-in, but as of this moment they are the form team and the best-coached team in the league. Klopp is a better manager than Arteta, but Arsenal are organized, structured and clinical, everything we are not. We are reliant on individual quality and determination to win games, while Arsenal are systematically taking opponents apart. I thought they looked every bit as good as City in the Etihad game, the only thing they lack is the sheer quality of the three or four elite players from City and Liverpool.
3.) 08 Apr 2024 12:43:42
Spot on, WYred. Arsenal's difficult run starts now with the PL/ CL games coming up. I have seen a lot of their fans saying they want to do the PL/ CL double. Well guess what, fellas? HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.
If they get through it then, fair play to them and they win the title. But keep in mind that while we play Palace, Fulham, Everton and WH, Spurs play Chelsea, Wolves, Villa and Spurs (not in any order) . And if you add CL quarters and semis to the above then, that's what awaits them.
For us, we got diff. issues. We need to up it massively and fing upper gears to go esp. up front REAL quick and with our players coming back like Ali, Trent and Jota esp., that will only help us here. We shall see what happens. On to Atalanta.
4.) 08 Apr 2024 12:44:03
It's a busy Monday at work, but I still feel so deflated by that game yesterday. Snatched a draw from a deserved win even though we were by far, the better team. And that's twice against this same team. But that's football.
I'm still positive. We will win.
5.) 08 Apr 2024 12:47:34
I mentioned yesterday on the discussion page, I think whichever team loses a match will be out the race. The standard is currently that high. I think the draw yesterday was our one mistake we we could make, we have to win the remaining games if we are to win the title I feel.
I think arsenal have a draw left in them but I see city winning every match now. Arsenal and City have been swatting teams aside with ease the last few weeks, even the expected banana skins. Fair play to arsenal, everyone wrote them off saying they wouldn't last pass Christmas but here we are.
6.) 08 Apr 2024 13:39:40
Lowe, they are the form team. But 1 thing I meant to add is, that one question mark that remains over Arsenal is if they lose any of rice, Saliba or Gabriel to injury over the coming weeks. I don’t know whether they have the depth to cover if one got injured. Especially with the pressure and tough run in they have.
We are as every bit as good as city or Arsenal, we have to just up our conversion rate. I’d be far more worried if we weren’t making the chances.
Kelleher has done wonders in Ali’s absence but I think having him back shores us up at the back and adding another attacker in Jota means we have at least one difference maker off the bench. Plus trent adds options if we have to chase games. He’ll no doubt start but being able to add him in midfield if the situation requires could be huge.
Plenty of twists to come and luckily football isn’t played on paper.
7.) 08 Apr 2024 14:00:55
WYred - Games are running out and Arsenal keep winning them. I might suggest it is us who are more likely to suffer further injuries than Arsenal. We can’t even keep our centre-backs and goalkeeper fit.
8.) 08 Apr 2024 14:52:34
We'll win the 7 games and win the league. We mitent have Citys experience in terms of WINNING leagues but we have experience in having to win EVERY week, week after week, we've just been unlucky to be up against such a good team. Arsenal have neither are about to start a manic set of fixtures which will require their best players in every game. let's see how they cope with that. All this while we seem to be getting back to full strength at just the right time.
9.) 08 Apr 2024 15:32:34
Doesn’t matter how much experience we have if you can’t put away the chances created.
10.) 08 Apr 2024 15:34:50
Lowel, I have a diff. take re: Arsenal. So all things are going for them since the turn of the year and hats off to them. However, they have NOT had to deal with the level and types of adversity (injuries galore, bad ref decisions and poor finishing) that we have had to deal with. They're yet to have things not go their way in-game. Like it would be interesting to see how they would have recovered if they were in our position last night. We know that the last time this happened vs WH at home when things did not go their way, they lost.
There is a huge possibility with that brutal schedule they have, for things to go wrong in-game or for some injury adversity to happen in-game and that will be a test for them. Lik I have said, let us see what happens with that brutal schedule they have cos some adversity is coming their way, IMO.
11.) 08 Apr 2024 18:32:56
No more points dropped and its get done, arsenal will drop points.
12.) 08 Apr 2024 18:45:01
I just hope that we don't lose the title on goal difference, cus if we do I can see us suing PGMOL for dis allowing Diaz goal at Tottenham.
13.) 08 Apr 2024 19:29:43
I’d love us to sue PGMOL into bankruptcy and make Coward Webb personally liable too.
14.) 08 Apr 2024 23:09:19
We will drop more points and our form away is not great. Arsenal or city. I would say city but their injuries is piling up and hence give the edge to arsenal. We will finish 3rd imo.
15.) 09 Apr 2024 01:25:05
I believe we will win the title on the last day of the season, it's already been amazing effort by all involved so why not with all of our help try to get them over the line.
10 Aug 2023 07:49:29
Personally I am not too fussed about Lavia, don't get me wrong, I think he has a high ceiling, but I think we already have a promising young DM in Bajectic. I would rather go for someone a bit older that can slot straight in and leave the opportunity open for Bajectic to take in a few years.
We are terrible at progression planning for our youngsters and we have to let them have the opportunity to prove they are good enough.
50m when you have limited resources is a huge risk and surely there is better value out there. Although the market seems to have taken another leap forward in terms of prices this year.
We have missed out on targets before and found, arguably better replacements, salah is the perfect example.
So let's not panic just yet, we need to let the dust settle and then we can review it and see if it was a good/ bad window when it closes.
1.) 10 Aug 2023 08:15:40
Klopp wants Lavia and the club has been in dialogue with Southamption for a month now.
{Ed002's Note - No they haven't.}
2.) 10 Aug 2023 08:25:56
The debate is no longer about Lavia, you could replace his name with anyone and it wouldn’t change anything.
It has moved on to wider concerns about how the club is run and why we have seemingly refused to strengthen and rebuild the way we should be doing.
The Klopp-FSG dynamic as it stands has reached a miserable, underachieving end - you cannot pair Klopp’s sentimentality with FSG’s acquisition model, nor can you pair Klopp’s 2023 style of play with FSG’s miserly (tbh, downright atrocious) spending levels.
The club is a rudderless ship above Klopp’s level, and is a few departures from being an absolute dumpster fire.
3.) 10 Aug 2023 08:32:12
If there is better value out there why haven’t we A, spotted it and B, gone after it?
4.) 10 Aug 2023 08:48:56
I agree. But, the lack of signings is extremely worrisome. I check in 3 times a day thinking surely today! But i will reserve my judgement for when the window closes.
5.) 10 Aug 2023 08:51:50
Don’t be so reasonable that won’t go down with the cancel kids on here ?
Now watch the irony of the incoming comments.
6.) 10 Aug 2023 08:54:08
What a rubbish window we’re having yet again.
Self destruct mode.
7.) 10 Aug 2023 08:56:13
I’ll reserve my judgement for now. We should have had other deals in the bag for preseason. Shocking club management as usual.
8.) 10 Aug 2023 09:06:19
On that note ED02. what exactly was the club doing all these weeks? Klopp wanted all his signings to be on board before the pre season here were are ready for the new season in less than 72 hours.
As per your info, The club is struggling to offer anything for a center back and all our targets are moving elsewhere. Where do we go from here?
{Ed002's Note - As I explained, the club did approach his representative to see if he would be open to a move and then they approached his club to enquire after terms and what they were asking. After that they carried on talking to his representatives and then made a low ball offer to test the waters. Southampton have made it clear what they want and are unhappy with being screwed around - hence discussions with Joe Shields at Chelsea and Manchester City. As to where next, the first discussion will be about another offer and whether the club have the stomach for getting involved in an auctio; next might be to fill the other midfield vacancy - perhaps Gravenberch. Then look to DM options if they lose out on Lavia. Liverpool stepped back from Thuram but could look again; but the price will hurt them. I don't know of any interest in Dewsbury Hall from Liverpool but perhaps Tyler Adams will enter the thoughts - albeit he now has permission to discuss terms with another club. Amrabat has gone has an option. Adding a versatile player like Gravenberch or Thuram first means that there will be cover for DM.}
9.) 10 Aug 2023 09:36:09
Brilliant info Ed02. Doubt Thuram would be any cheaper to Lavia, if that was the case he would have been signed months ago. And he is not even remotely a DM. Gravenberch is not a DM either. Kone won't happen and we screwed Sporting over Ugarte.
If klopp wants Lavia give it him. Its that simple. why screw around. We priced out Nat Philips who hasn't kcied a football for over two years for three windows and here we want Southampton to budge their asking price. Hillarious.
Anything on Defenders ED02. It seems we are very quiet on that front. We need an LCB and a good one else we are finishing midtable again
Thanks again ED02.
{Ed002's Note - Thuram plays regularly as a DM player. Gravenberch has also played as a DM player. You maybe want to try and think about not trying to trash prospective Liverpool players. Nothing has changed regarding defenders.}
10.) 10 Aug 2023 09:37:56
If Lavia isn’t happening any idea of who is next on our list of alternatives or is it a case of the current squad is what we’re going to go with.
{Ed002's Note - As I mentioned, for me I think the next move will be to add another midfield player who is versatile and can play at DM if needs br - Gravenberch is a good fit for that, is well priced, and is available with Liverpool having shown an interest. I think Tyler Adams would be a good option and even though he has permission to speak with another club, Liverpool could consider him. I am not sure the club would be willing to go back to look at Varela (in talks for a move elsewhere where a WP would not be an issue) or Florentino Luis (buy out clause is huge). Llorente is no longer an option. As I mentioned, Andre Trincade was recommended to Liverpool as Fabinho cover a couple of years ago, but he is not a realistic option before January now - and even then it is complicated. Kalvin Phillips will likely stay for now unless Manchester City look to a replacement.}
11.) 10 Aug 2023 09:38:19
Lavia doesn't do anything Bajcetic/ Morton can't do so doesn't even improve our squad, let alone best XI. So looks like Todd might save us with his blank cheque book!
Hopefully we move on to Gravenberch now, who probably does improve the team as he's actually more experienced than Baj and Morton. I don't rate him further forward though as his first touch isn't consistent enough to operate with his back to the opposition but when he's facing the play he's a good young player who would slot in well next to Trent in the 3-box-3 system we're hell bent on persevering with.
12.) 10 Aug 2023 09:48:36
Kalvin Phillips still being considered Ed002?
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - Manchester City want an upgrade but were shocked at the price of their first choice so for now, or at least until they find someone else, I expect him to stay there.}
13.) 10 Aug 2023 09:59:09
personally looking forward to Lavia securing a move to somewhere, anywhere. just get the saga over with so we can move on and get this season going! I hate that the window is still open after the season starts, let's get the business done and then just play!
14.) 10 Aug 2023 10:09:44
Thanks Ed002, if Man City offer for Lavia do they get 20% of their money back (sell on clause)?
Makes a difference to their offer.
{Ed002's Note - They can invoke a £40M buy back clause if he is for sale next year or take 20% of any sale to another side - so if Liverpool buy Lavia for £50M, £10M goes to Manchester City. Meaning Southampton still get their £40M. The same happened with Livramento, although a much larger cut went to Chelsea. Additionally, development club payments need to be made in both cases.}
15.) 10 Aug 2023 10:27:55
Cheers Ed002 great reply and really appreciate.
16.) 10 Aug 2023 10:34:52
I think we'll sign Lavia and Chelsea will sign Caceido or Adams or even both.
17.) 10 Aug 2023 10:46:47
Lavia doesn't offer more than Bajcetic/ Morton? Prefer Gravenberch to Lavia?
MK, I love your hot takes. Up there with your Neves, Rabiot Mount midfield dream.
18.) 10 Aug 2023 10:49:12
Faith, my money would be on Lavia going to Chelsea to warm the bench with the last generational teenage midfielder they signed for big money after he had 5 good games (Chukwumeka) .
{Ed002's Note - The posts are getting more and more embarrassing.}
19.) 10 Aug 2023 11:11:01
I just say it as i see it Ed002. I've been consistent about Lavia throughout even when Liverpool looked favourites. He's not a £50m player for me and its a huge gamble to pay it and hope he will be.
{Ed002's Note - It is going to be even more embarrassing for those who thought him "world class" yeasterday and a worthless waster today if the transfer to Liverpool goes through.}
20.) 10 Aug 2023 11:32:08
Has anybody called him a worthless waster Ed002? Far as i've seen i have been his biggest critic on this site and all i've said is he's good for his age but not worth anything like £50m. He's a £10m player in my mind. No better than Carvalho was when we signed him last summer, or Gomez in 2015, or Origi in 2014. I don't agree with signing teenagers with half a good season for that sort of money, and i don't think my opinion is unreasonable. For £50m i expect a player with at least 2 or 3 years of evidence behind them at relatively good level. If he on and does well at either Chelsea or Liverpool I'll admit i was wrong.
FPF, i never said Rabiot, Mount or Neves were my dream midfield. You're making things up which is very crass and disingenuous of you. Mount i said to steer well clear of and Neves/ Rabiot i said would be good choices from the players available and in our price range. Neves did disappoint me moving to Saudi though, as at his age that shows a huge lack of ambition. Regards Lavia, what has he done to suggest he's better than our own young midfielders? He had about 5 good games last season. Similar to Bajcetic last year and Morton the year before.
{Ed002's Note - Huge amount of abuse about him has been deleted this morning.}

Well said Ed002. Lavia is what klopp wants clearly, and at 19 has potential for him to progress. Obviously at 19, barring a few exceptions to the rule, must players at that age are raw and still learning their trade.
At this time we have no DM, or at least with no experience. Bajetic is also young, has the makings of a great player but is injured and also needs competition.
Baz.

Fair enough Ed002, and that's disappointing to hear. He doesn't deserve abuse.
{Ed002's Note - I agree.}
23.) 10 Aug 2023 14:03:39
It’s hard to tell bajetics best position though. He did well covering fabs, but was probably even better when he played further forward. Promising talent for sure but not yet clear where he’s best position is.

Doff my hat to you ed014, I don’t even think you were trying to get that many bites.
Ed’s please join the posts, fat finger syndrome!
{Ed014's Note - sorry mate, I’m not that techie! ?
They’re the gift that keeps on giving! ?♂️?

Oh well I just look like a numptie to the page, but think most knew that anyway ?.
{Ed014's Note - I’ll doubt they’ll even notice and if you don’t say anything, I won’t! ??
2.) 08 Jul 2023 09:09:22
Just had a look at the Man Utd banter page and ed 14 when are you taking them out your pocket? Absolutely battered them ???.
{Ed014's Note - not any time soon ??
3.) 08 Jul 2023 12:13:45
Very funny ed 14. But a little too easy.
07 Jul 2023 21:20:43
Ed014 rattled a few on the united page ? great thread to read.
It has someone wondering why united stories turn up when you search united in a search engine. That’s like me as a teenage boy questioning why naked woman kept cropping up when I searched, you can fill in the blanks might be young impressionable kids on here!
Or the united fans talking about history after berating us for years, I d.
1.) 08 Jul 2023 10:40:41
WYred, Utd fans are easily triggered, IMO. There is a podcast I watch with a fan representing each of the Big 6 clubs and the Utd fan is so easy to get to, it's insane. He just can't stand when the others get to him.
@Ed14, can you just offer a summary of what you said on their page? Pretty please?
{Ed014's Note - I can’t remember Oli it was yesterday ??
2.) 08 Jul 2023 12:59:30
Oli just go read it, it won't bite ?.

Martin Tyler is leaving sky sports! Please get Peter drury in to replace him. Tyler used to be good but recently he has just sounded like he lost interest in the sport and it wasn’t just us, some of the clips of other teams was equally as bad.
1.) 17 Jun 2023 09:02:39
WYRed, I hope you are right. Tyler doing an LFC game with his chuckle bro. G. Neville is like pulling teeth. If LFC scores, it feels like Tyler just had a tummy ach with how he reacts to it.
2.) 17 Jun 2023 09:49:59
Be replaced by a female.
3.) 17 Jun 2023 10:05:36
And she'll do a better job than Tyler
He has become very difficult to listen to lately.
4.) 17 Jun 2023 10:25:40
Tyler and Stelling will not be missed in the slightest just wish Steve Macca could join them the horrible worm. In fact the only pundits I have missed would be Hansen mark Lawrenson was hilarious and Chris Kamara. Might miss Souness sticking it to Keane and Richards though.
5.) 17 Jun 2023 10:27:16
Should've gone 5 years ago.
6.) 17 Jun 2023 10:43:07
He is awful.
7.) 17 Jun 2023 10:49:02
He's a complete joy vacuum, unless his precious United score.
8.) 17 Jun 2023 10:57:11
Boy you guys are bitter and easily wound up if a commentator gets under you skin so easily ?.
9.) 17 Jun 2023 11:20:19
I love Souness.
I remember he was stuck in traffic and late to the studio once and Jamie Redknapp tried to slag him.
" Not the first time you've been late Graeme"
Souness got really thick and replied,
"You could have done with being late once or twice in your career buddy, too bloody nice, your problem"
10.) 17 Jun 2023 14:05:22
No 1230 Sat kick offs and no Tyler commentating on our games so as long as we keep the wind out and the grass not too wet or too dry then we should do the quadruple next season without losing a game.
Can’t wait for 24/ 25 season now.
11.) 17 Jun 2023 14:36:38
I've been happy in the States with Arlo White followed by Peter Drury. Always liked Derek Rae and Tommy Smith when ESPN did Champs League.
12.) 17 Jun 2023 14:45:45
Str8talker I agree so much on Steve mcmanaman he is such a tool. Try’s to talk so posh but he forgets where he’s from.
{Ed001's Note - to be fair he is from Bootle so he is posh.}
13.) 17 Jun 2023 15:50:27
Best news in a long time …… Tyler gone!
We turned the sound off if he was commentating, he was horrendous .
Imo, Neville and Carragher should follow him.
14.) 17 Jun 2023 15:56:44
He might take up offer from mutv???.
15.) 17 Jun 2023 16:09:44
I think there's a Waitrose in Bootle.
16.) 17 Jun 2023 16:34:58
Why the dislike of all these commentators? Tyler was pretty good at the job, but like so many of them: never really analysed where the momentum of a match was going. The shame is that the pundits good with analysis don’t get to commentate, but just provide post-match analysis. Commentary would be so much better if likes of Mad Roy and Mad Graeme provided the commentary - spotting tactical shifts etc. Cricket commentary is way better because of this (though, obviously a much slower game) . I’d far rather Lineker was a commentator AND a pundit.
17.) 17 Jun 2023 23:24:39
Mcmanaman is from Walton Ed not Bootle.
{Ed001's Note - he was definitely from Bootle.}
18.) 18 Jun 2023 08:29:42
Maybe Laura woods to replace him? She’s leaving talkSPORT and is a lot better than him. And better to look at.
19.) 18 Jun 2023 10:53:35
Macca is like Owen on commentary. Severely painful to the ears.
@420, Arlo White and Peter Drury are awesome. Lived in the States and those where the PL commentators on NBCSN at the time. Glad you still have them and can enjoy them as good as I did.
20.) 18 Jun 2023 11:31:52
I always liked Steve McMahon when he was on, despite his condescending attitude towards whoever he was talking to/ with. Made some sense at times. I know many on here don't like him.
21.) 18 Jun 2023 14:29:33
If “a female” was qualified for the job it would be no issue for her to get it.
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.

If true, and then he does end up picking chelsea, it would be an awful look for the negotiating team.
Caicedo was worth a shot, and we would have got the go ahead from the agent (at least I expect so) to go after that deal. Imo, that's just football and you move on.
However, if you wanted a player for £45m, moved on to someone over twice as much, to move back to the oringal player for 15m more, and still don't secure the player because he prefers Chelsea. It would definitley leave a sour taste in the mouth and really put the pressure on the powers that be.
Alternativley, we get the player for £60m and still look a bit foolish for not just paying the £50m they originally asked for.
As I have said in a previous post, there is a scenario where both Liverpool and Chelsea overpay on their targets by about 15m because they each got involved in the other deal instead of just biting the bullet and accepting the selling clubs terms. I. e. 50m for lavia or 100m for Caicedo.
13 Aug 2023 18:21:24
I presume the payment structure needs to be considered when some players are deemed too expensive.
2 players may be 50 or 60m each. But one club may want the bulk of the 50m upfront whilst the other is happy to have it over a couple of years. Any clubs budget will vary depending on the cash they have on the initial outlay and it will then impact other signings.
12 Aug 2023 21:16:33
I thought this length of contract was banned or have I mis-interpreted the rules?
11 Apr 2024 14:49:45
I’d be happy with that, add Joey Barton as the new diversity manager and we’ll win the lot!
10 Apr 2024 13:21:31
Faith, if that’s the prem I think they give it. However, whilst not a dive, it’s creating contact and a way of playing the rules. Kane was the master at it and I think some of ours have done it too. Some argue Elliott did on the weekend but his was more subtle.
If refs get stronger on it they’ll eventually stop and if I was Arteta I’d be livid that Saka hasn’t just continued his run, he’s tried to be too cute and it’s backfired.
10 Apr 2024 12:23:00
The saka decision was as per VAR rules in my opinion. Saka sticking his leg out gave the VAR enough doubt not to overturn it (look at the amount of debate, it shows it wasnt clear and obvious) and got to that decision quickly. That's the high bar that it should be but the Premier league run it terribly.
08 Apr 2024 19:18:26
If they are striped, which is my best guess based on the number of titles I wouldn't want them passed to us. I'd prefer they go down as no winner. Imagine getting 2 or 3 titles as the second placed team, it just wouldn't sit right imo.
08 Apr 2024 13:39:40
Lowe, they are the form team. But 1 thing I meant to add is, that one question mark that remains over Arsenal is if they lose any of rice, Saliba or Gabriel to injury over the coming weeks. I don’t know whether they have the depth to cover if one got injured. Especially with the pressure and tough run in they have.
We are as every bit as good as city or Arsenal, we have to just up our conversion rate. I’d be far more worried if we weren’t making the chances.
Kelleher has done wonders in Ali’s absence but I think having him back shores us up at the back and adding another attacker in Jota means we have at least one difference maker off the bench. Plus trent adds options if we have to chase games. He’ll no doubt start but being able to add him in midfield if the situation requires could be huge.
Plenty of twists to come and luckily football isn’t played on paper.
