Hi Eds do you think there is a chance of any of the first team players other than hernandez,de gea,rafael,evans leaving?
Mata's name came up few weeks back but has gone quite?
{Ed001's Note - if the right offer came in for Mata or Jones, the club would be willing to sell.}
15 Jul 2015 11:19:05
I like Jones, yeah he's not a great defender and we could do with a lot better one(obviously( but he throws himself at anything and puts his body on the line which I love to see.
15 Jul 2015 11:26:02
Would be a shame to sell Mata but 433 doesn't play to his strengths.
Just wanted your opinion Ed on your Liverpool teams shopping so far, with Benteke and possibly others to sign do you think it'll be a good window and what's the fans expectations for the upcoming season?
15 Jul 2015 11:48:07
Sorry Ed just saw your take on Liverpool on the banter page, you've done some typing this morning ha.
{Ed001's Note - it's fine mate, I would have only been doing research or typing up articles for FNV or player-profiles otherwise. It is a break to type for the sites and have someone else providing the idea of what to type about, rather than having to find something.}
15 Jul 2015 12:05:49
If I had my way both would stay. I wish Jones could have settled better as a centre back instead of becoming Mr Versatiliy under SAF - that for me has ruined his progression.
And Mata is quite simply a fan favorite and combines brilliantly with Herrera - I for one hope they both stay. Instead I'd see Evans leave.

Finding inspiration in us posters eh Ed. A friend of a friend of mine is a sports writer, doing blogs and stuff over in Ireland, spurs fan I think, I know he enjoys the job but having to find something interesting and informative to write about daily that will be enjoyable to his readers can be difficult.
{Ed001's Note - it is a nightmare, especially with so many sites that need related content on a daily basis. Trying to find something to write for Barnsley, for instance, during the close season, is hard work. I often end up just doing a player profile for one of that particular team's players or former players instead when I can't think of anything.}
15 Jul 2015 12:31:02
Agree with Fresh - Evans should be the first player out the door, followed swiftly by Rafael.
15 Jul 2015 12:46:01
Ha yes I can imagine you'd have to wrack your brains over something like that. Could always write about a famous 1-0 victory for Barnsley at anfield in '97 mate ;)
{Ed001's Note - you would enjoy that far too much!}
15 Jul 2015 13:35:02
Feel for you ed, don't know how you find the time pal, hats off to you all!
{Ed001's Note - luckily I don't have a life to interfere with my time. Being able to do this wherever I am is a great help too. I only need access to the internet. It does help that my missus is very understanding, in fact when we are together it is her that often reminds me to check the sites if I have been lazy. Though that might just be so she gets some peace....}
15 Jul 2015 13:48:25
You're lucky guy ed, I just get ear ache :-) Not surprised you are letting her make you an honest man.
{Ed001's Note - I am just surprised she would want to marry me. It is like going in to pick up a lottery win thinking you have got 3 numbers and it turns out you have all 6.}
15 Jul 2015 14:06:32
Well I'm not religious in the slightest so I won't say it's some Omnipotent being paying you back with good, for all the years of having to watch Liverpool, I do like the idea of Yin and Yang though, so could be something to do with that :-)
{Ed001's Note - I think I would have to say that it would be deserved for having to put up with the Souness era while hearing me mam's family telling me all the tales about growing up watching us dominate Europe *sigh*. They used to say I was a jinx. First game I went to see at Anfield we lost, so I wasn't allowed any tea as it must have been my fault.}
15 Jul 2015 14:26:52
Oops! No Scouse for you that night then :-)
I was lucky, when we won the FA Cup in 1990 I was only 9, so I have pretty much grown up with success. What made it better is my dad being a City fan, was like a double whammy of joy all those years.
{Ed001's Note - I bet he is giving it you back over the last few years though!}
15 Jul 2015 14:48:14
I just don't go round when they win. When they won the league in 2012 I didn't go round for a month! I couldn't face that as well as buying a new TV, having accidentally launched the sky remote at it when Aguero scored. Worst day in a long time! He isn't happy about them signing Sterling though.
{Ed001's Note - their buying policy rivals Liverpool's for its utter lack of forward thinking and planning. They are just lucky to have a lot more money to throw away on ill thought out purchases.}
15 Jul 2015 15:04:30
i agree ed, so does my dad :-) for a City fan he talks a lot of sense, a bit like yourself for a Liverpool fan 😉
15 Jul 2015 15:18:41
The first march I remember watching United was that 3-3 v crystal palace Brendan, I was 7, I remember pickin which team I should support, man to think I could be a palace fan now.
15 Jul 2015 15:47:39
Ha ha WRD, that was close eh?
15 Jul 2015 16:16:17
Ha yes. Well my mum is a Liverpool fan, my dad United so I think that tipped me toward United. I remember then going great game I'll support us in the replay too, Lee Martin my hero that day.
