Setting aside the fact that Edwards is not the Director of Football at Liverpool FC, can I just note:
Edwards left in 2022. This means he was responsible for giving Origi and Oxlade-Chamberlain their extended contracts and letting those contracts run down and expire. Not to mention signing Keïta, Thiago, and many of those players “proven to be as brittle as Weetabix”. Can’t have it both ways.
Seems people forget that Endo put in some decent performances last season.
There is no talk of an established DM coming in, so selling a more than capable squad member would be stupidity.
Maybe we are buying a DM. Bacjetic is a good player with a great future. Bit too early to saddle him wih huge responsibility.
And he left because he wanted to move as he felt the physicality of the league too much for him. Otherwise we probably would have had him stay for a few years longer.
Text my mate who lives in the Netherlands asking about him.
He said “I’ve no idea why you keep messaging me about random Dutch footballers. I don’t know who any of them are and I don’t like football. Please stop.”
He came on in the first half vs England. Wasn’t a great match overall but I remember a few sequences in the second half with some nice passing and movement by Netherlands midfield and I immediately thought ‘hope Slot teaches our midfield to play like that’.
Salah to Saudi for 200 million. Trigger Olmo and Nico Williams release clauses. Won’t mind Anthony Gardon if we can’t get Nico. Buy Gyokeres or Ivan Toney. I just don’t want us to lose Salah on a free considering how skint we are. Sign Hincape or Inacio. It will take another few years to build a squad with quality without Salah’s money. We can’t just replace Salah one to one as there isn’t any direct replacement. But we will have a well rounded squad just like what we did with Coutinho.
