Got a mate down in London who does cleaning audits. Anyway he claims he carried out an audit for someone linked to Tottenham whom he can't name due to company confidentiality policy.

The rumour he was told is that Tottenham have a strong interest in Adam Lallana and will look to complete a deal this summer.

You heard anything about this Ed002?

{Ed002's Note - Nope.}

Would we even consider a bid for Lallana?

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has to move players on.}

Hi Ed002, is Lallana the 'surprise transfer' that everyone is talking about?

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what "surprise transfers" people are talking about but so far this season Liverpool have added 6 players and have two returning from loans and have only sold one and bought two off from last seasons squad - so they have increased the squad size by five and are trying to get a deal done for Benteke. The only other sales were of players out on loan last season so they are of no consequence. No sales should be a surprise but there are players available - such as Borini (soon to leave) and Balotelli.}

Hope not, he is a good player.

All due respect Ed2, you brought this "surprise transfer" speculation on yourself when you left a cryptic enough message a few days ago alluding to someone leaving that we, as fans, don't expect to be leaving.

Most if not all of us expected the likes of Aspas, Alberto, mario, borini, lambert, possibly Lucas to leave(possibly other names that allude me right now) so aside from these "expected" names anything other than them would be considered a surprise departure.

As always we do appreciate anything you choose to tell us so it's not being held against you and I'm not having a dig at you

{Ed002's Note - I said there was a player who might leave but it would be unexpected that was all - I have since explained it would not be possible given the price given to his agent by Liverpool. So that was the end of that - but to date Liverpool has spent considerably more on transfers in and buying off players than they have earned through sales - and with the likely Benteke to come the club need cash and they need spaces in the squad.}

Well I must have missed the follow on message about prices quoted as I wasn't aware of that. I suspect more people weren't aware of that either if the speculation persists! Point taken nonetheles. As for balancing the books I can barely keep my bank balance in a healthy position so I don't want to even try get my head around the complexities of a football clubs finances!

Idiotic to sell Lallana. Write off after a stop start season? Ridiculous. Play him in midfield, he is better than any other attack minded midfielder we have.

What is a cleaning audit and how can checking on cleanliness give any insights into Lallana's future.

{Ed001's Note - maybe it was a typo and he meant his mate cleans Audis? Just kidding, it is when you have someone go round checking that the cleaning is done properly, in layman's terms.}

The suprise transfer would obviously be Marchovic.

Well, thanks Ed. I have a mental image of a cleaning auditor checking how well a toilet has been cleaned while the guy in the next stall passes on transfer gossip.

{Ed001's Note - if it is good enough for MI5, then it is good enough for us to find out info from!}
