Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Seems like the move is quite advanced for Endo, seems like he will be allowed to travel to Liverpool to complete the move...or divert to London to sign for Chelsea...

Just to add one more tweet from someone that has seen him play,

Interesting that he was not on any journos radar until the deal was advanced. Like all signings, if we do sign him, it will come down to where we end at the end of the season whether they will be considered a success. Let's hope he does bring some experience, time on the pitch and balance to our midfield.

Takes one of the non-home grown spots as well. Let's hope he is not another Arthur Melo

If anything he seems a Milner replacement

Looks to be an €18-19m fee so around £15m. Not to bad and still leaves £95m of the Caicedo money available.

From Hendo to Endo 😂

Can play centre back, midfield, experienced, leader. Something we don't have in midfield now so see no issue with this signing. I've faith we'll still bring in a pure DM and younger.

Let's be honest..who heard of this guy before 8 o'clock

Still though, Japan and his clubs captain. Will absolutely do for the price. If he isn't up to it nothing really lost.

Should have been all over Kovacic. Mental Chelsea let him go to City

I see Fati is now leaving Barcelona, we haven't signed a LW in a while.

,😰

Well konate would hardly expect Endo to speak french, they both would speak some German but it's good as both speak english so no bother,watched a couple of videos and reading about him he looks very good,high energy player with some goal threat which obviously isn't needed in a dm but you never know , same as most would never have watched him before but he actually looks like a good solid signing.

I am thinking this signing wasn't a panic buy but on the cards, with lavia as an understudy to him we wouldn't have been badly off, hopefully a couple of more signings to come but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't.

The release clauses look great value at the moment because the market has gone nuts, with the Saudi situation it doesn't look like sanity will return any time soon.

Being Japanese, you can guarantee that Endo will have a top class attitude and work rate. Happy to have him at Liverpool.

The two of them wanted to leave so whether anyone would have swapped them for Endo is irrelevant.

More noise about Ambarat and Gravenbach this morning.

Exactly. While it doesn't seem that exciting (but obviously I hope he proves me wrong) he's an international captain who seems injury resistant and is (relatively) cheap as chips. Reports from those who have seen him make it sound like he's a workhorse too, which is what we want. Sounds like he'll be very dependable in the short term. Hopefully the long term will be addressed this summer too

Never seen him play club ball, but he was good at the World Cup. Particularly remember him in their win over Germany.

Definitely need one more midfielder before the window closes - but it’s a step in the right direction.

It's being reported now that the building contractor working on the stadium have just gone into Administration. Long delays expected now you'd imagine.

Got a laugh out of this.

Very good point (last point above).

There's certainly nothing wrong about the Endo signing. Lots of positives to it, but, and I'll admit I know ow nothing about the player, I don't think it narrows the gap to the top 4. It helps in that it won't make the gap wider at the least. Even if he can just play in the cup competition and provide a rest to a regular starter it is a signing worth making.

Desperately need a reliable top quality starter in the DM position still.

I'd say this is very close to being announced, providing medical passed / fee agreed etc but sounds like it's on the way.
