Hi Eds, several of the reporters deemed reliable by fans are stating that Willian is a definite target for us. Has anything changed on your front or is it yet again them just guessing from one report much like with Costa {Ed002's Note - I have no confirmation of Liverpool interest.}

Cheers ed, thought it would be too good to be true. Still time I suppose, thanks for the quick response as ever

Ed02 do you think all of the papers stating this are all guessing or just wrong? I can't see it myself {Ed002's Note - I really don't know.}

Agree0 Disagree1

It's also being reported by The Moose on , who has to be the most consistently wrong forecaster in history, so I wouldn't get too excited yet.

Agree1 Disagree0

Eds would ANZI accept a loan deal? {Ed002's Note - No.}

Agree0 Disagree1

They are probably just playing a guessing game with Willian being available and Liverpool looking for attacking talent and adding those 2 together it makes a good rumour, but probably not so true.

Agree3 Disagree0

Regardless of the financial issues that Anzhi have, I cannot see them selling Willian for under £30 million. Would we spend that amount on him, and would he want to come to the club? My fingers are crossed but I don't see it happening.

James Pearce (Echo) has said we have made an enquiry about Willian but no bid.
Skurks {Ed002's Note - That is correct as I understand matters, and the enquiry was with his agent and the player has permission to speak with clubs who enquire.}

As a spurs fan really hoping you lot get him! Never really rated the player tbh and can't see him getting in our side!

Ed02 now that Manchester United have told Chelsea Rooney is not for sale this summer at any price will Chelsea be bidding for Suarez? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea were again approached a couple of weeks back. There is no indication they are interested.}

Believable7 Unbelievable18

Approached by Suarez's agent? {Ed002's Note - Yes.}

Agree1 Disagree1

Good don't want Chelsea to be interested in him! have Chelsea given up on Rooney then Ed02? {Ed002's Note - Try the Chelsea page.}

Agree0 Disagree1

Sell Suarez to Chelsea. Maybe take a player like De Bruyne or Bertrand. Young with potential
Top four here we come

Can you tell me Eds if our interest in LB has sort of shifted towards Contento now? I know of the apparent interest recently, but it did seem as if we had Siqueira almost secured?

Also while I know you don't do player rating i'll ask anyway. who do you think would be better suited to LFC?
Thanks as always {Ed002's Note - Liverpool are certainly looking to take a left back on loan - which is the reason Cissokho has stalled. Contento would be a good choice but Liverpool would need to give commitments about playing him, and I don't know if they would be prepared to do that, even if Bayern Munich were prepared to loan him out. A loan enquiry from Eintracht Braunschweig has been rejected already. Hertha Berlin has also enquired of the player, but a move to Werder Bremen seems to be the favoured solution right now. Perhaps that will change.

I would not want to speculate who would be best suited to the club.}

Eds, I assume the ESPN rumour is of their usual reliability, surely we wouldn't pay 35mil for Willian? {Ed002's Note - They will be running with a story that is from elsewhere. As I have said, I am not aware of any interest in Willian from Liverpool at this time.}

In our dreams

Agree2 Disagree3

If you look at his goal return its far from good and there are better options out there for half the price being mentioned.

Iker Muniain
Shaqiri
Salvio
Erik Lamela
Konoplyanka

I saw him playing in the CL last season and he was spectacular, however £35m is way too much. £20-23m would be fair, I'm sure he'd shine at Liverpool and partnering up with Coutinho wouldn't hurt. Adding Willian, a solid CB and LB and it just might persuade Suarez that we'll be a top 4 team this season. {Ed002's Note - A bid of just under €40M has already been rejected.}

Agree3 Disagree0

Was that €40M bid before or after the Anzhi situation developed? Thanks. {Ed002's Note - It was 10 days ago when Anzhi were already looking to start to restructure their wage budget. It is also irrelevant to what they are asking for, although as we get closer to the window closing they will possibly be accepting less. There is interest in Willian from elsewhere and a prospective deal might just include a player or two on loan for the 2014-2015 season - and a lower cash sale.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Was that 40m offer from Man City Ed? {Ed002's Note - It was less than €40M and it was from Manchester City. It seems they have since dropped their interest - at least for now - after it was rejected.}

Agree0 Disagree1

We are aiming too high, we are not a big club anymore. Nobody of any stature/class wants to play for LFC.

Agree0 Disagree9

40 million for a striker whos scored 40 goals in 274 appearances hardly seems worth it mind you a majority of his goals came from the ukrainian league which people were already concerned about when we were interested in Micky and he scored 25 goals whilst Willian scored 2 in his league 1 in the domestic cup and 4 in europe I really don't think he'd be worth it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed02 do you think there is any possibility Liverpool go for him or is he out of our reach? {Ed002's Note - I can't say - but it would cost a great deal of money.}

Agree0 Disagree1

We already have Coutinho.

Agree0 Disagree0

The Times Tony Barrett who so far has been fairly on the ball, is saying we have moved for him now.
