Hi Ed1
Hope you are well fella.
Have I missed something or was there not talk of an ex player joining the coaching staff?
We all went crazy for milner and Thiago. and then nothing happened. I guess now preseason is up and running there will be no more staff additions.
Thanks for any insight (if any)
{Ed001's Note - there was talk of it, but I don't remember it being from anyone presenting it as info, rather than just their opinion.}

There appeared to be reliable interest in Thiago, but him not having the coaching badges may have presented visa issues. He cited the lack of coaching badges in an interview recently.

Still hoping for Milly to be honest.
24 Jul 2026 23:16:39
I'd take Milly as coach, or if not possible, can he still play RB? :)

The Americans have NFL Pass so you can watch all your team's games, pre season, season games and playoffs. I really think this is going to be the way forward.
{Ed001's Note - that has been the plan by FSG all along, but it is getting the Premier League itself to agree that is the issue.}

Agreed to an extent @Ed 1. I do however think that this feels like the beginning of an exit strategy that FSG flirted with after Chelsea's forced sale.
Last Summer Liverpool won the league and tried to replace Salah's numbers by going huge on Writz and Isak! It's not self substantial to pay both big wages and huge fees regularly! Manchester United are eyeing a new 100, 000 seater stadium for example. The only way I can see FSG staying beyond the new tv rights renewal is if they can Americanise how football is watched via a Premier League pass for every team! Granted that is complicated!
Unless Liverpool win the league and or champions league FSG are unlikely to to sanction a £400m Summer spend as the norm without selling a key first team starter!
Alas only my opinion Sir! FSG bought LFC as a distressed asset cheaply! The best business men cash in their cash in their chips for a profit before the numbers stop making sense.
{Ed001's Note - they have been in the forefront of moving towards a streaming model and they know there is a lot more money to be made there yet.}

I must be honest, I found the personal abuse of Slot last season pretty vile. The guy had just won a title almost unbeaten, and people turned on him as soon as we had our first defeat.
He, for one reason or another, could not turn the momentum around, and he had to go. But the denigration of his contribution to only our second title in 30 odd years was a bit disgusting.
Felt like we had suddenly turned into Spurs fans.
Always complaining, and not supporting - Jurgen bravely pushed back on this when he berated fans for leaving games early.
My view is that Slot wanted fast wingers, and a killer cf. He was given that, but he was hamstrung by Mo's utter collapse in ability.
In 35 years from now, how will we feel about running Slot out of town if we have not won a title in the interim?
{Ed001's Note - glad to be rid of him, as we would have been relegated if we kept him. He was not hamstrung by Mo, it was Mo who was hamstrung by Slot. It was not the first defeat that people turned on him either, talk about ridiculous hyperbole.}

Exactly @TheFifthElement! LFC spent big on the back of winning the league! £100m is now the starting point for any player halfway decent now tho! For FSG’s model for LFC to work these days, LFC would need to win the league and or Champions League most seasons!
FSG know these ridiculous fees are not sustainable, hence the idea of substantial investment leading to FSGe eventually being bought out has not been shot down!
{Ed001's Note - you think this attempt to get investment is new? They have always been looking to do this. They have brought in a few Chinese investors and other very minor ones, such as LeBron James over the years. It is nothing to do with this season's transfer fees.}

I think after all the press he got at the WC him being linked to top teams was inevitable. I don't think he was good at the WC as people say he was, but he was definitely a level above where he has been for Spurs.
I am not as massively anti-Spence as Ed001 is, I think there is potentially a player in there if he is in a less chaotic environment than Spurs and if he sorts his positioning out. Plus the fact that he can play both sides is a bonus.
But, to buy him now, you'd be paying the "had a decent World Cup" premium, you'd be paying the english premium, you'd be paying the "spurs don't seem strapped for cash and don't want to lose him" premium, and you'd be paying the "player isn't going to push hard for a move because he doesn't seem the sort" premium.
That, plus the fact that he's currently not significantly better than what we have in the squad, makes it all very unlikely I think.
I wouldn't be sad if Spence was a Liverpool player, I would be annoyed if it meant that we prioritised him over other more important incomings.

He's deceptively quick because of his long legs. I think Ed001 is spot on, power and pace and he has talent which needs to be developed.
If he was one-paced or a one trick pony he would have struggled to make an impression in the Premier League.

I have a theory, Rick, that EVERYONE on here are accounts run by the Eds, other than me, of course :-)
However, I think this may be a development of my childhood thoughts that a) people couldn't see me when I closed my eyes and b) that the world only exists in my head.
Nurse?!
{Ed001's Note - ah now Zed, you know full well you are Ed25's burner account for when he wants to play at being Michael Beale.}

I don't really believe you have to Google Ana De Armas ED01!. but it's well worth doing anyway!!??
{Ed001's Note - I still have no idea who she is mate, sorry.}

Stop! If Liverpool sign Barcola and Rayan/Diomande then we should all be looking forward to challenging for the title. This would be an exceptional forward line up on its own, let alone combined with Wirtz, Isak, Ekiteke. I really don't know what you want, if the above doesn't get you going. Ana De Armas, maybe?! Probably not even that, I'd suggest!
{Ed001's Note - ok I need to google Ana De Armas now.}

Tris, I take it he meant like on trick pony kinda rather than one paced?
As in just having pace, no end product?
Not that I agree or anything. I can't say I really remember the fella, nor do I watch him, but like u, I'm just trying to decipher what one paced means.
{Ed001's Note - I think he is just wrong myself. Rayan is nothing like Gakpo really.}
23 Jul 2026
23 Jul 2026 08:24:45
I've been meaning to ask your opinion on Rayan Ed?
I actually rate him quite highly, although he's inconsistent and would be frustrating at times with his decision making etc.
{Ed001's Note - he is very inconsistent because he is young and lacks experience but what he has is pace and power. Those two attributes are key in the Prem. I like him a lot and would be happy if we got him.}

I must be the only person on here who would much prefer Diomande and Barcola over Rayan. To me, Rayan looks a bit like a left-footed Gakpo. He's a good size for a Premier League player and his age, but he's quite one-paced compared to Diomande and Barcola.
{Ed001's Note - one-paced? Have you ever watched him play? He is very quick.}

Just a question to ed1, Carra, Robbo, Fields, Vic. Nice to step away from transfers for a minute, and concentrate on our own players. Have you heard if any of the youngsters in particular have caught Iraloa's eye so far and maybe could involved next season.
{Ed001's Note - he has only just started looking at them, bit soon for this.}
23 Jul 2026 10:09:00
The only thing I've seen so far is everyone is massively impressed by Mor Talla Ndiaye, the young CB we brought in.
23 Jul 2026 10:40:37
The boss checking out youngsters..... He won't be manager long if that's the case!

Are we nearly there yet?
Can we get a Mc Donald's??

Ed001 do you not have this close sources phone number to ask him! Or do you only discuss Liverpool affairs when you're in secret with your cult mask on .
Hope you're well!
{Ed001's Note - I don't have his number, I only see him when at the footie here and he is not the kind of bloke you just swap number with! He just sits with the group of lads I meet up with at the footie and buys the drinks and food as he owns the football club.}

Hi Eds
Rumours of the Mittal family investing in us today. With the club valued at 6 billion. Have you heard anything. From the Financial Times cheers
{Ed001's Note - nothing I have heard yet, I know someone who knows them well I can ask, but I doubt I will see him before the football season kicks off here. FT would have a much better idea than me before that, I would assume. They used to be considered very reliable I believe, not sure if that is still true though.}
21 Jul 2026 16:59:32
At this rate we will end up with new owners before a DM.
21 Jul 2026 18:09:36
Seems to all be coming out now. Mittal just sold his stakes at QPR where he seemed in high regard by supporters. Interesting timing.

Hi Ed001, as your answering questions at the moment, if you don't mind, if you know how Leoni's recuperation is coming along please?
I think he looks really good, what I've seen of him before his injury, so hoping he'll be back to his best soon.
Thank you. ?
{Ed001's Note - he is expected to be near ready for the season, but I personally do not expect him to play early on. It will probably need an extra few months of ball work to get the mental side back. Having said that, he is young and that will help him come back much sooner as it is much easier when we are younger. They have him pencilled in around 1st September, I believe, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him play a small part in pre-season, just to help him get his confidence in being able to deal with challenges back.}
