Ed, is it me or have the rumours about Dzsudzsak have died down allot. Are we still interested in him? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool, CSKA, Juventus, Villareal, Newcastle, Everton, Aston Villa, Schalke, Lyon and others have shown an interest but he says he wants to play in La Liga. I think he will stay at PSV until the opportunity arises.}

King Kenny signed 3 year deal to be announced before Spurs game!

Remember that!
SL
P.S - so pleased! :)

 

 

 

11 May 2011 23:24:42
Ed, do you know if there has been any interest in Diego Capel of Sevilla?

I really rate him, would probably be my 2nd choice for the left wing.

Stu. {Ed002's Note - None that I know of.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 23:21:41
Wingers to sign:
A.Young
B.Dzsudzsak
D.Payet

Payet and Young can play Suarez style role and Dzsudzsak has amazing crossing ability so perfect for Carroll.

Other ins that seem likely are:
M.Sissoko
G.Cahill :/
P.Jones
Enrique :/
maybe Muniain

I would be happy to see:
Payet
Young
Dzsudzsak
Sissoko
Cahill
Enrique
and Muniain (but doubtfull)

Ed do you think it seems likely these could all come in???

Ladders {Ed002's Note - Always tough to say all are likely.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 23:21:16
Bit of an odd one here, i have a mate who always gets the celtic transfers spot on , and he seems to think we are looking at the south korean lad Ki and izaguirre. . make of it what you will

i half agree with you - not sure about the players you mention but quite certain we will be signing some asian players - makes sense

Don't international transfers have to wait until the end of the season??

Don t be surprised to hear an end to the Kenny saga against spurs (common knowledge) but also a decision on the ground situation. Heard on the grape vein through work networks a decision has already been made, yet nothing is in motion in terms of planning as yet. I ll keep you all posted.

Hello everybody I just got some news about adam johnson and the source where I got it from say he wants to fight for his place and he's staying because of champions league but this mata rumour is spreading like fire have to see about that one

 

 

 

11 May 2011 22:59:52

Have it on good authority, (sports journo) that James McCarthy will be going to either Chelsea or Liverpool. He and his family prefer the idea of liverpool and the fee will be in the region of 7-8m. He was invited to train with the first team a few years ago by rafa and always said he wanted to play for us.

Hey Ed.

firstly, loads of rumours about Mata at the moment but i don't think we've got a chance not being in the CL and I'm sure other top teams in CL will be after his services. you agree at all?

secondly, do you really think we need to sign the amount of players we're being linked with? we've been playing so well recently i honestly don't think we need 5-6 players. i think we should be ok with 3. just wanted your thoughts on that Ed.

many thanks

Double B {Ed002's Note - I refer to earlier answers on both - I expect 5 or 6 players and my views on Mata are further down these pages.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 21:40:15
Hi Ed's here are the names that have been mentioned as fairly possible throughout the weeks from what I know:

Moussa Sissoko, Jose Enrique, Gary Cahill, Sylvain Marveaux and finally who I think we have a good chance on from what Ive saw Juan Mata.

Personally I don't want enrique or cahill.

And it might not be these players but it will probably be around the same abililty or better.

My point is it is going to be hard to put a team together next season (which is good) but I am going to feel so sorry for people like Kuyt and Lucas if they don't get starting places!

Do you think these players a realistic and we could get them?. Also do you think Lucas and Kuyt will get a game next season? (I know it's probably impossible to say lol) How will you feel if they dont?

Thanks, Nelly {Ed002's Note - Sure, they are possible.}

Dont shoot the messenger, but heard someone in college saying that hes mates with Shane Long and he keeps bragging about the fact liverpool are watching him , wd any1 no if theres any truth in us watching/ scouting Shane Long as i reallly like him

I am from Ireland and live within 10 miles of Long's home parish Gortnahue. My father is good friends with his first cousin and his story was that all his family members are saying Liverpool are definitely interested.
I personally think he would be a brilliant signing. Not too dear, fast, good in the air, team player, hard worker and well able to score goals.

 

 

 

11 May 2011 21:04:45
{Ed002's Note - Inter have offered to loan Coutinho to Bologna as part of the Gaston Ramirez deal. I don't think they want to sell but suspect they will listen to offers. So a chance.}

I wouldn't mind seeing him on loan with a view to a perminant move with a fixed price of £10m-12m

{Ed002's Note - Inter really do not want to sell, and the loan is a means of completing the Ramirez deal and I think that is what will happen.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 20:55:26
Ed what are the cances 1-10 of these players signing

Clichy, young, mata, bojan, adam and gary cahill {Ed002's Note - 2, 6, 2, 3, 7, 4}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 20:47:01
Ed have we ever scouted or been linked with Juan Iturbe of Cerro Porte o? he looks pretty good from what iv seen and wouldn't cost too much

Thanks {Ed002's Note - No. He is moving to Porto in June.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 20:43:23
Liverpool to sign A young
and ed what about Pato are there ant chances on liverppol getting him

Rk {Ed002's Note - Sorry, no chance.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 20:03:21
Jus heard we are linked with inter Milan's Brazilian starlet, countinho. not sure about the price but this is from a very reliable source. I will post more info when I no more.

Most people on this site seem to take guillem Balague's word as gospel - the recent talk of j. Mata's potential signing has sent this site into mata overload! !

If you are a regular viewer of revisita la liga he has mentioned on many occasions that Sergio aguero is very likely to sign for Real Madrid . Even on yesterday's special programme he mentioned it again saying that the president of Real sees him as a galactico.
It's funny how people are so quick to quote what they want to hear(mata) but are in denial when it comes to rumours they don't want to hear.

Sergio aguero is not coming lfc.

 

 

 

11 May 2011 19:53:54
Ed been told the reason kk hasn't sighned is because he wants 4 years the yanks only offering 2 you heard anything
THE SHANKLEYWAY {Ed001's Note - not true, it is just waiting to be announced at the right time, probably at the weekend.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 19:48:01
Liverpool currently have tabled bids for St Etienne midfielder, Blaise Matuidi & Atletico Bilbao winger Iker Muniain. These are the only foreign players were likely to sign. The rest will be British, Gary Cahill, Ashley Young & James McCarthy. Stewart Downing is also being considered.

 

 

 

11 May 2011 19:37:10
Juan Mata and Dimitri Payet will be 2 of Liverpool's 3 wingers joining in the Summer window.

To all these Kaka and Aguerro and Mata and all the others etc rumour posters. Before you post who is coming in, think where they will play and who will have to be got rid of. Then consider that if you bring a world class player in they are going to want and expect to play the overwhelming majority of games. So if Kaka was brought in who would get the hoof to give him primacy for the slot in team selection - Gerrard?

Now a proper rumour. Liverpool are looking for a right-sided version of Suarez - someone who can play wing/ support striker/ striker. Currently being given the beady-eye as this summer's potential 'marque signing' are either Adam Johnson or Ashley Young (one not both). Should either come on the market and Liverpool be succesful in signing one of them then Maxi and Kuyt will become squad players coming off the bench (or impact subs as they are known these days) and Cole and Ngog will be collecting their P45s.

RED LENIN
= = = = = = = = = = = = =

Totally agree with the type of player you mentioned , and like you I find the posts about Kaka Aguerro, Benzima and all the other out and out strikers mentioned laughable, I don't think we paid 35m for carroll so he can warm up the bench and we won't spend over 20m on an addition to the bench either.
However Mata falls into the winger/ support striker category and I do think he a viable option been looked at , so is Navas and as you said Ashley Young being the number one target.

I wish people will stop posting about Adam Johnson , he will be playing CL football , he is not going to give up for a club playing in Europa (I don't think Mr Johnson will view our club in the same high regard that us fans do). Also Man city will not sell one of their few decent English players that they have, and definitely it won't be to one of their rivals.

11 May 2011 19:26:33
Ashley Young has gone to 1/ 4 to sign for liverpool
:) i wdnt mind him

 

 

 

11 May 2011 19:26:19
Do you think carroll will start any of these next two games ed? even if he is fit? just the way team are playing. Cheers man, thanks in advance! {Ed002's Note - The next game is key and I don't expect him to start, fit or not. If Liverpool win I would expect a number of youngsters or fringe players to get a run out against Aston Villa - certainly if the game has no impact on anything. So, perhaps is the answer for Carroll.}

I believe that Mata and young would destory any fall backs on there day had a look at some of the matches that they have played they can both deliver the ball well allowing the likes of no.9 and our no.7 to attack the ball.

Jose ngel should be brought into fill the left back postion great youngish left back and is a lot better that some of the s*** that we have bennn link with

also ed i have been told that Damien Comolli was in france sorting out for two midfielders that play for AS Saint- tienne if it is the ones that i'm think that we are intrested in they would good signings and could this be the first signs of the glory days returning to the club.

I was also wondering wether it was true that we are after podolski as i believe that in the right system he could come out of his shell and show the form that he does for his national team in the past and he would be willing to be part of the team and could be our newest super sub {Ed001's Note - I have not heard of any Liverpool interest in Podolski.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 19:08:29
A few days ago, I said that a source told me that a Premier League club had been in contact with Aguero's agent and had "positive" talks, it was either Liverpool or Chelsea, but I can confirm that it's Chelsea's representatives who went over and NOT Liverpool's.

 

 

 

11 May 2011 18:56:39
Scott Parker to sign for Lfc {Ed002's Note - I really do not see him making the move. Sorry.}

We'll go for James McCarthy if the Charlie Adam deal falls through.

"I personally think McCarthy would be a better signing. IMO he's better, obviously younger and definately going to be a better player than Adam."

 

 

 

11 May 2011 18:44:40
Hey ed,
what happened to our interest in Antoine Griezmann?

{Ed002's Note - He is getting rave reviews right now but I don't know that Liverpool have any interest at this time. Does appear to be one for the future.}

Lol come on now Ed that's not what I said, surely there are other options, just don't think Moreno is as good as Suarez. Are there any other options in your oppinion Ed? (Aguero would be nice though! lol)

{Ed002's Note - I am not suggesting Moreno is as good as Suarez and I know near zip about the player. But someone is bringing the player over to England for a trial.

so ed do you know who it is that is bringing Moreno over of the trial?

{Ed002's Note - As I said, I don't know who it is.}

was just asking and u never said you didn't know who mate.

 

 

 

11 May 2011 18:34:26
If I were KK or DC I would look at it this way . . .:
If we get
Sakho : Can play CB and LB so is worth the money. About 18m (although he is worth it)!
Mata : Can play winger or striker if needs be. About 20-23m. Again IMO worth it !
Young : Same as Mata . 15m we need width.
Marveaux : free (looks like he's coming anyway). A brilliant back-up option !
A young but experienced player he can help the younger players.
So we will spend around 55m but we have covered quite a few positions for less than if we bought separate players for their preferred position . And we also help out the youngsters ! What does everyone think ? Ed ?
Adam O'K ;) YNWA

 

 

 

11 May 2011 18:27:57
Hi ed I've read a few time that we are looking at Forlan. Is there any truth to this? {Ed002's Note - Age and price make it unlikely in my mind.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 18:27:28
Ed with city getting fourth do you think mancini will stay?if so does that improve are chances of attempting to get adam johnson and micah richards.DORSET RED {Ed002's Note - Mancini: It will be up to the owners. They have looked elsewhere but may be willing to stick with him. Toss of a coin. Johnson: Perhaps a chance. Richards: I don't know of any interest nor do I expect any.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 18:26:36
Ed 002. How's it going my friend? I'm sure you've been exceptionally busy again tonight mate. Just looking at Harry Redknapps comments about Citys signings that will blow our minds. Do you think Spurs will be making any bigish signings and do you think there could be any business between us and them over possibly Joe Cole and/ or other signings?

Spriggsy

{Ed002's Note - Someone mentioned that Redknapp had alluded to Manchester City's thoughts about a specific couple of players. It was seemingly an odd comment for him to be making. I am not so sure that there will be business between Liverpool and Spurs this summer, and I am equally not so sure that Joe Cole will be moving on. I assume that you may also have a thought about Lennon. I guess it is possible as he does seemed to have burned his bridges at Spurs.}

 

 

 

11 May 2011 18:23:08
Is there any truth in the Mata rumor or is it another fan-driven rumor? {Ed001's Note - there is an interest there and we have spoken to Valencia who have indicated a willingness to sell. As far as I can find out no bid has gone in or anything, just informal talks regarding a price.}

Ed 001 do you reckon we will get him mate ? thanks {Ed001's Note - I hope we do, but I fear it is unlikely.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
do you think we will bid for him at least Ed ? thanks

{Ed002's Note - It is impossible to say. If there is interest and the board agree that it is the appropriate thing to do then it is possible. There is also interest in the player from elsewhere.}

i'd be pretty dissapointed if those are the players we bring in in the summer :/

 

 

 

11 May 2011 18:04:51
HEY ED!
IF A BID WAS MADE FOR LETS SAY MATA WOULD WE KNOW ABOUT IT OR WOULD IT BE KEPT QUIET

{Ed002's Note - It depends on whether either club or any agent/representative involved mentions it. That is the usual way to obtain confirmation, and most selling clubs are happy for news of bids to be shared, at least to a limited extent, in order to encourage involvement from other clubs.}

After a shakey first minute when he came on as sub on Monday, he then impressed me greatly with good interaction with Suarez. I think he will stay for next season predominantly as last 20 minute sub.

{Ed002's Note - As I said, I don't know who it is.}

Guillem Balague, putting the Alonso return to bed. .

Firstly, Xabi Alonso is amont the top three or four players at Real Madrid: Mourinho counts on him and he's one of the first names down on his team sheet. Real Madrid are not a 'selling club' and will not be forced into selling a player in that situation.


Secondly, when Xabi Alonso left Anfield, he enjoyed a substantial pay increase. For Liverpool to match his current pay scale would involve completely destabilising the Premier League club's existing salary structure.

And finally, there has been no contact between Liverpool and Real Madrid regarding the sale of Alonso back to Anfield.

 

 

 

11 May 2011 16:22:32
As previously stated I don't post crap, as I don't see the need lie to my fellow LFC fans.Anyway I posted a couple of days ago on the James McCarthy transfer, just an update on the matter, the fee which as been quoted is 6.4m rising to 8m with appearances and qualification to Europe, the only hitch at the moment is Martinez insists on keeping McCarthy on loan at Wigan if they beat the drop.I should have more tomorrow as I will be talking to a mutual friend.

 

 

 

11 May 2011 16:14:32
Liverpool close to agreeing deals for Ashley Young (LW), and Dimitri Payet (RW) £20 mil for the pair. Chelsea have been touting Daniel Sturrige around prem clubs for around £14mil. Bolton can't afford to pay that unless they get a sizeable fee for Gary Cahill. Cahill another target for Liverpool at around £15-£20mil. Charlie Adam and Enrique are already verbally agreed between clubs.

(Also I was thinking Jay spearing's performances have been on par with Jack Wilshire's. I think they are very similar in style as well as stature. I don't think Spearing has been getting the praise he deserves from the media. I think Spearing will have a bright future at Liverpool.)

To all these Kaka and Aguerro and Mata and all the others etc rumour posters. Before you post who is coming in, think where they will play and who will have to be got rid of. Then consider that if you bring a world class player in they are going to want and expect to play the overwhelming majority of games. So if Kaka was brought in who would get the hoof to give him primacy for the slot in team selection - Gerrard?

Just think what you write if you want to be believed.

Now a proper rumour. Liverpool are looking for a right-sided version of Suarez - someone who can play wing/ support striker/ striker. Currently being given the beady-eye as this summer's potential 'marque signing' are either Adam Johnson or Ashley Young (one not both). Should either come on the market and Liverpool be succesful in signing one of them then Maxi and Kuyt will become squad players coming off the bench (or impact subs as they are known these days) and Cole and Ngog will be collecting their P45s.

Has any one heard the rumour that were going to sign enzo zidane 16 from under arsenal's noses i am very close to his father he thinks he is going to be as good as him or better and also any 1 else heard about buying torres back for 32.5 m as we put it in a clause in his chelsea contract if he don't score more than 1 goal this season love ryan p.s i love the sites ed

. . . . . . . . . .

So, you're saying that Chelsea paid us 50M for Torres, yet said that - if he only scored one goal until the end of the season - we could buy him back for 18M less than we recieved? - madness.

I also highly doubt that Enzo Zidane will be going anywhere. He is rather highly rated, but his father will almost certainly want him to learn the ropes and make an impact at Real.

Afternoon ED(s),

Has there been any interest in Fiorentina pair Khouma Babacar and Adem Ljajic? I know that Ljajic was supposed to join Utd a few years ago and since then has played very well for Fiorentina. Babacar seems to be built for the EPL. ED, any interest of possibility?

Thanks,
Glov3z the Red {Ed002's Note - Khouma Babacar was looked at by Chelsea and Ljajic's agent expects him to move to Barcelona (although I am not sure they would agree). There is no known interest from Liverpool - and Nik Damjanac would tell the world if there were.}

I think we need another player simular to suarez. i know that's not easy to find but if he is out injured we might struggle a bit. a player like that frightens the life out of defenders and gives the other players so much more space. god i love suarez

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I would hardly say Moreno is in the same category as Suarez Ed? he plays in Colombia and struggled at Bucharest.

{Ed002's Note - So you are suggesting Aguero then?}

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lol come on now Ed that's not what I said, surely there are other options, just don't think Moreno is as good as Suarez. Are there any other options in your oppinion Ed? (Aguero would be nice though! lol)

{Ed002's Note - I am not suggesting Moreno is as good as Suarez and I know near zip about the player. But someone is bringing the player over to England for a trial.}

Watching the Fulham game on Fox Sports here in Australia and Martyn Tyler mentioned in his commentary that he had heard that Liverpool had a budget of 100million quid for summer transfers.

Interesting rumour about Naldo. Cheers. From what i've heard/read about him he's a colossus of a Centre-Back - the natural successor to the magnificent Lucio for Brazil. A ball-player who is great in the air - he was a bit of a goal machine a couple of years back - I remember reading about his rise in World Soccer at the time (they had glowing reviews - a sound, respectable source, if they rate a player - I'd generally trust their opinion).

A monster in the air and a free-kick specialist (well, he is Brazilian!) I hadn't thought about him since as I don't watch German football. The mighty Wiki tells me he's only 28-odd and he's still playing for Werder Bremen. I wasn't expecting centre-back rumours but this guy is apparently a class act.

Anyone watch more German football? Any opinions? I know we're well stocked at CB, but if Kenny sees Kelly as a RB in future maybe another CB wouldn't go amiss. Apparently he has a strange knee injury and has been out for some months though?! Sounds kinda dubious, but if he's half as good as Lucio can we really say no! Again, anyone know anything more?

Evening fellow reds and hard workin eds.

Just been chatting to a university buddy on skype who is getting married to a Portuguese physiotherapist. Both live in Germany and my friend tells me his fianc e has been working a lot with an injured defender name of Naldo. The reason he skyped me was that she had come home and mentioned that there had been a visit from a fellah from Liverpool football club to her clinic and they spent some time chatting with the player. Don't know the player really, but am guessing that an injury would knock the price down a bit. It sounds vague, but could we be considering a move for him? Also think Adam Johnson would be a tremendous buy and would love to see hulk in the colours too. Thoughts? : ) {Ed001's Note - not so sure, I thought he was getting on a bit in footballing terms? Maybe I am wrong but he seems to have been around a long time.}

naldo is a brazilian defender who plays for werder bremen been there since 2005 and is 28 years old 155 app 19 goals other than that i don't know how good he is lol

i posted this a little while ago but computer froze so not sure if it went through.

Anyway, There has been Rising speculation in germany lately about a potential move for schalke 04 youngster kyriakos papadopoulos, there were rumours of scouts being spotted watching the greek U19 international a week or so ago, which has further developed into rumours of a potential swoop for the youngster.

Personally i think this'd be a great move, if you're good enough, you're old enough.

We will be signing a spanish winger in the summer, this is all i have heard so far, a spanish winger with the ability to play a narrower game if needed, so to me that suggests Cazorla, Mata, Navas or Muniain. Personally i'd like any of them to join with navas being at the bottom of the list due to his lack of versatility, Cazorla is the latest name being touted, he'd be ideal, a lot of talk of him being a lightweight but people still continue with talk of sanchez and navas who are VERY lightweight.
