Crystal Palace do not have interest in Liverpool's Mamadou Sakho. They complete their signing of Jairo Riedewald this week, who is a left CB (same position as Sakho) and wouldn't sign if he was playing second fiddle to Mamadou.

That's a shame on two counts.

1. We need to find a buyer for Sakho ASAP
2. I think Jairo Riedewald looks like a excellent young centre back who should do very well for Palace (he will likely be linked to us next summer for £50mill haha)

Sakho will end up at Stoke city! Should have sold him at £25 mill immediately after the loan spell!

Still think sahko would be a good signing for liverpool. Saves us 70 million although I reckon sahko and van dyke would be an absolutely awesome defensive partnership. The dark destroyers. Surely if we are to sign vvd then one of our cbs has to go. I know gomez could be off but are lovren and matip or sahko and vvd prepared to sit on the bench. If sahko stays then surely vvd isn't happening?

Rumour has it we upped the price last minute on Sakho deal with Palace and that was why they lost interest. Do the Eds know anything on that? True or not etc? (Heard from a Palace supporter) .

Also people need to make a choice do you want Sakho or Klopp because it has been made clear now it isn't going to be both.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any change to the price. Liverpool set a price that CP thought was too high but they were willing to negotiate - but Liverpool did not want to reduce the price. Right now they have nipped in to grab Everton target Jairo Riedewald and thet may end interest in Sakho. The other side who were keen is Stoke - but again a reluctance to negotiate has made them turn to Kurt Zouma. Previously West Brom were interested and they might still be an option, I don't know.}

Heard Spurs also held an interest in Sakho, any chance they'd place a bid Eds?

{Ed002's Note - His representative spoke with them a while back - but he spoke with lots of people.}

I'm not sure that I would consider anyone in their right mind if they preferred Sakho to Klopp. The improvement in Liverpool's style (and position in the League) from post-Suarez Rodgers to Klopp cannot be understated. Klopp is not without his faults (namely the transfer tapping up blunders) but the players love him and would run through a brick wall for him. He gets 100% from every player, and we can see with what happened at Chelsea last season what happens when players buy into a manager's philosophy and fight for him. I can't name another manager who would realistically come to Liverpool and be an improvement.

Thanks Ed002 for the detailed answer do you see him getting a team in the summer?

{Ed002's Note - I really don't know but his agent and the player have permission to talk to anyone they can to get him out of the club.}

So LFC lowball teams with offers of players we want and drag negotiations for a month trying to get cheaper deals for players (risking missing out on targets) and aren't willing to let go a player for a few less millions (MS to Palace)? What is wrong with our transfer "experts"?!
