To be honest, we’re not really surprised by this from a fanbase capable of tracking Jurgen Klopp’s plane into John Lennon, making friends with Guinean journalists for first-hand Naby Keita news and following club vans around the city to see if they were carrying new signings!
So really, we’re just impressed by the sheer audacity…

Liverpool’s Sporting Director Michael Edwards is doing a half marathon and all money raised is going to Prostate Cancer UK. Barry Hunter and David Woodfine, two members of Liverpool’s scouting team, are joining him, looking to raise £10k before the race on May 20th.
A huge number of Liverpool fans have made donations, but on Edwards’ Just Giving page, have left their own message on top!
Here’s a select few:
-Shopping Short List after your run! ;) Oblak / Alisson Becker José Giménez Toby Alderweireld Amadou Diawara Amadou Haidara Tanguy Ndombele Nabil Fekir Ryan Sessengnon Gonçalo Guedes
-Full name Amadou Diawara Date of birth 17 July 1997 Place of birth Conakry, Guinea Playing position Defensive midfielder Current team Napoli Opening bid £35m Closing bid £45m
-Fairplay now sign Fekir, Shane Duffy and Aaron Bolger.
-Oblak and Fekir lad, Oblak and Fekir
-Good job mate. Don’t forget to sign De Ligt, Ruben Neves, Nabil Fekir and Alisson. Cheers
In seriousness, it’s a fantastic cause, and so long as the fans are also making a contribution, we see no harm in this!
And some of the names are not bad shouts, either…
If Liverpool secure Jan Oblak, Nabil Fekir, Toby Alderweireld and Ryan Sessegnon, we’ll win the title next year!
