Anybody watch Konoplyanka last night? The kid is dynamite! Ed or Macca please tell me we're still interested or are the people in charge of ransfers at LFC to stubborn to do business with Dnipro?
{Ed001's Note - we have shown no signs of reigniting our interest, even though his agent keeps trying to get us to move for him.}

2 weeks ago, Macca stated that LFC were still intrested in him. At the moment he would improve the starting 11.
{Ed001's Note - I know what Macca said, but I know we have shown no intent or he would have already had a deal signed. He is very keen on joining us, his agent is very keen on him joining us, it is only the club holding off.}

He'd be a great signing. Either we have no interest in him or are waiting until the sterling situation tobget resolved before making a move. Would be a better option than the likes of walcott and cheryshev

Amy idea why the club are showing no interest in a player they went to great lengths to sign before ed?
{Ed001's Note - we went in a different direction. It does seem odd to me as well.}
28 May 2015 08:39:30
Ed do you believe it having to be with getting the sterling story set first and him only being signed/approached in case sterling does leave?
{Ed001's Note - and Markovic, we bought him last summer as Kono was not a possibility then.}

So the one good player who wants to come and we close the door? Brilliant.

The club is certainly in no position to be turning down players that can improve our first 11 and with sterling set to go he's a ready made replacement. Ed's I heard somewhere he's on huge wages 200k odd? I assume he would want an increase on that given he would be on a free? I seem to recall he was willing to take a pay cut to join us last year. Could it just be the wages?
{Ed002's Note - This is all nonsense. Sorry.}

Question for Ed 1 if possible, the owners are getting advice on all aspects of the football side of things right? Surely whoever is advising has mentioned the fact that procrastinating and being so indecisive is limiting options as time goes on to bring in quality we need? (managerial and playing staff) Is there just too may cogs in the machine to make a quick, clear cut decision?
{Ed001's Note - it does seem to be a case of too many cogs right now. They will hopefully see that they need to return to their original ideas of having one man in charge to make the decisions. It does seem they have begun to head that way with Gordon taking a decision-making role.}

I was asking the question as I'm sure the eds said last year he was on huge wages at dinopro?
{Ed001's Note - not that kind of money. Plus he is out of contract so it is irrelevant what he was on, only what other clubs will be willing to pay.}

If sterling were to leave them would we sign konoplyanka as a replacement? Would seem like decent business of we are put into a position where we have to sell sterling.
{Ed001's Note - impossible to say yet, though it wouldn't be a surprise if we revived interest in that case.}
