Swagger

Good player but injury prone.

So, Woodfine or Ward? My money is on Woodfine.

Absolutely a bad thing. Mismanagement of the highest scale. Yes, there is a strong argument for all three needing to go. The way it was done, however, hardly gives me confidence going forward. Joyce in his article claiming that Edwards handed in his notice in the autumn.

Hardly the smartest people in room. No clear plan, no continuity. Not the way to run one of the biggest football clubs in the world.

Didn't bother to shave for his first day at his new job. Sack him.

I like Neto. The Guardian this morning reporting that Chelsea are interested in Summerville, so they could be looking to move him on. I like Rayan too, but I don't see him moving this summer, unless an obscene offer comes in. Minteh I am a bit meh on, but as argued above, it could be that he stagnated under Hürzeler.

Unless Hughes is being pushed out, I really don't get it. You are Director of Football of one of the biggest clubs in the world, no doubt earning a very, very nice salary. Is more money bigger motivation than rebuilding Liverpool and going for the biggest titles?

I think that Klopp's brilliance certainly helped Edwards, but Edwards (and his team) nonetheless deserve a lot of credit. To bring up the most obvious example, it was the recruitment team that convinced Klopp to pivot and go for Salah. Another example is Edwards convincing Klopp that Virgil is worth every penny of the fee. Edwards was not brought back by FSG to lead the recruitment again, as he was no longer interested in his old job. They brought him back to run the entire football operations for them, and he brought Hughes in to lead the recruitment team.

Yeah, sometimes easy to forget that he is just a kid, with a sudden massive spotlight and a 100 million price tag on him.

Anyone who takes them even remotely seriously should be ashamed of themselves. Especially that master spoofer Grizz, who has backtracked more times than a bulldozer tractor at a construction site. Re Diomende, let's see whether PSG are willing to fork out the 120m euros or so Leipzig are demanding for him.

Elphick especially seems very highly rated, apparently Burley are interested, but he wants Liverpool.

Yes, seems very questionable that.

This. Not had his best season, but no one did for Liverpool, and has consistently scored for club and country throughout his career.

I expect him to improve under Iraola. There is too much work to do, we should keep him unless a really good offer comes in.

The price of Diomande seems exorbitant, especially bearing in mind his lack of experience, but the fact that the club is willing to pay 100 million for him indicates just how much they rate him. How much for Kvaratskhelia now? For Doue or Olise? They obviously believe that is his level. I reckon it gets done.

Seen someone mention Ayari from Brighton as a serious target. Don't know how credible that person is.

Hughes finally beginning to do the job he was brought in to do.

Heading off to twitter now to see all the pompous ITKs do a quick back track and claim they knew about this all along but were under stick instructions from people at the club to keep their mouths shut so as not to jeopardise the deal.

Not cheap. He has a year left if I am not mistaken.

60 million for an 18 year old?

Wow, both are very, very good. Doubt PSG would consider selling Zaire-Emery.

I noticed that Woodfine was very prominent in showing Iraola around in a video the club released.

Its long. And it has graphs. Could someone please summarise it for me?

Perhaps Slot was threatened by his relationship with the players and did not want him back.

Slightly worried how his football translates to 3 games a week. Sebastian Heoness is also a worthwhile option, although all the noise is that Iraola is the front runner.
