Liverpool about to sign Badu from Udinese

Happy New Year : ED's Thanks for a great job and all the hard works you put into this website. I just have one question. What's our chances of getting Fernando?

Believable6 Unbelievable16

{Ed001's Note - we have interest, difficult to put any kind of guess or estimate on what the chances are.}

I'd read that Fernando was likely to sign for AC Milan. I think it was expected in the Summer, as opposed to during the January transfer window.

Obviously, this could have changed after Alegris departure.

Looks a good player, though - from what I've seen of him.

Agree2 Disagree0

A defensive one! It's looking like it's going to be Badu of Udinese, rather than the quality of Fernando or M'Vila.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2014 22:42:20
Ed, I read that you said we have interest in Fernando, can you see a move happening in January or is it more likely we will wait until the summer?

Believable2 Unbelievable12

{Ed001's Note - most likely summer.}

14 Jan 2014 22:33:20
Eds it seems that we are mainly being linked with midfield generals like Fernando, Mvilla, both of which you said we have some interest in. Do you see this is our main area we are looking to strengthen? As I was thinking it was a winger and maybe a fullback?

I'm happy with who we bring in, want us to get the right players and not spend stupid money on over rated ones.

Believable4 Unbelievable10

{Ed001's Note - I never said we had interest in M'Vila, I don't know of any from us, that must have been another editor. We are looking for a left back, a winger/wide midfielder/wide forward and a central midfielder.}

Any ideas on what type of central midfielder ed?

Hi eds, at the psg game tonight in Bordeaux talk before the game here is pastore is being offered to Liverpool on loan until end of season with option to buy and psg in a completely separate deal for Suarez at end of the season matching the release clause. I've thought pastore is a bit touch and go at times but tonight he's been the difference! Any thoughts?

Believable3 Unbelievable28

{Ed001's Note - we have had an interest in Pastore for a while, PSG are interested in Suarez, but I don't see either deal likely to happen right now. A lot can change by the summer though.}

14 Jan 2014 17:27:04
Hi Eds do we have firm interest in Fernando? Reading we sent a scout to him in Portugal over weekend? Likely or not? I thought our main focus was a winger.

Believable34 Unbelievable8

{Ed001's Note - yes, we have interest in him.}

Is this intrest very recent or previous interest we had in him. Also I thought Everton were nearing a move for him?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - recent, we have had him watched this season.}

Evening eds & reds,
If eds 001 or 002 about.Not sure if it my brother in law teasing me(he is a blue) but he has jus informed me that DS15 is injured again, have u heard any rumours or news regarding this?

Believable3 Unbelievable46

{Ed001's Note - nothing, sorry.}

14 Jan 2014 16:57:55
Barca's stance on Tello has softened and they will CONSIDER offers in the region of €12mill for the player.
No loans. Just a straight forward cash offer.

Hi Ed, are we looking at Yevhen Konoplyanka? I think he is the quality we need to win the league and compete in the champions league.

Believable5 Unbelievable21

{Ed001's Note - I don't know sorry.}

Afternoon Ed's. Just wondering if you have heard anything about the signing of guy Demel from west ham? Thanks

Believable3 Unbelievable43

{Ed001's Note - for who? Because he certainly isn't joining us.}

I have heard of silly season before, but frankly this is just preposterous. I think he is the worst right back in the League.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he is also out with concussion, no way he could pass a medical until he has had the all clear from that.}

What planet are you on.he is shocking

Agree3 Disagree1

Have u seen glen Johnson play lately?

Agree4 Disagree0

Exactly, Johnson has been poor why would we sign someone worse?

Agree2 Disagree0

Johnson has been so poor! I think signing demel would be a big step forward at right back!

Agree0 Disagree4

Johnson playing at 10% is still better than Demel.

Agree1 Disagree0

Johnson has been awful! Time to let him go, I think demel could be a big threat down the right flank with sterling!

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - what was wrong with your previous name?}

Note - I didn't change my name!

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - GuvTOB ring any bells?}

Demel is 32, look at Opta. In almost every single area he is worse than Johnson. Even Johnson who gets singled out for his defensive work has performed better defensively, more interceptions, tackles, clearances in the same amount of games. Offensively the only area the Demel outperforms Johnson is being dispossessed.

Demel is not going to get better and has no resale value. I would like Kelly to play instead of Johnson when he is fit but Demel is dreadful.

Agree1 Disagree0

Afternoon Ed's!

Was watching the Racing Club game last night and seemed to recall we were looking at Luciano Vietto from them? Have we looked at him since or has interest died down?

Seems to be a decent player but his goal scoring record this season is quite poor.

Believable1 Unbelievable12

{Ed002's Note - Sadly a subject we are not going to discuss. But you can forget about the player for January.}

14 Jan 2014 13:28:48
Seems the Xherdan Shaqiri rumours are starting again with a loan move for the player allegedly on the cards for LFC. 90% sure this is trunks but until it comes out, we will never know. That's the beauty about January, its like Xmas. Never know who your going to get.

Hi Edds, I'm hearing we may be interested in Farfan have you heard anything? could be a good signing if it's true.

Believable5 Unbelievable38

{Ed001's Note - not heard a thing.}

Heard they want around 15m never going to happen

Agree0 Disagree4

Apparently he is a Liverpool supporter who lives a long way away.

Agree2 Disagree0

14 Jan 2014 14:22:46
I agree 15m is too much for him, I've heard an offer of around 11m will be accepted, that's if we are interested in him of course!

Agree0 Disagree3

It is made up nonsense. Some 'journalist/kid blogger' decided that because we 'lost out' on Sam that we will try to sign the player he will be in competition with for a place in the Schalke team. Total rubbish.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Jan 2014 11:22:48
Hey Eds, do you think we are definitely going to make a signing this window (or trying to) or do you feel BR will be happy to wait till the summer?

Believable21 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - I believe we are trying to sign players, managers are never happy with their squads.}

For me, a signing who would be an immediate and obvious improvement on our starting 11 would be expensive and, given that we seem to be inclined to try loan-to-buys based on reports, it's rather indicative that we don't have loads to spend. My conclusion is personally I don't see much of anything happening.

Agree2 Disagree0

Of course we are definately (trying to) make a signing in January. BR won't be happy to wait until the summer, but he is realistic enough to know that players who will improve the first team are extremely hard to get for a reasonable fee at the moment. Not that many players who could improve the team are available at what we would call the right price.

Agree3 Disagree1

14 Jan 2014 11:43:39
There seems to be a lot of rumours about Liverpool and Napoli in for M'Vila from different website but from past posts eds you have stated Everton to be of interest in him. Has anything changed in respect to him being of interest to us? Also Salah seems to have gone quiet in terms of him moving does that also look as if it could be held off till the summer? Apart from Bertrand and Montoya as you've mentioned in previous posts is there anyone else who you know of Liverpool have direct interest in? Cheers for the constant updates

Believable8 Unbelievable4

{Ed001's Note - things don't change every day, there has been no change in the situation.}

14 Jan 2014 11:38:24
Are Liverpool interested in Yarmolenko? is he likely to sign?

Believable8 Unbelievable50

14 Jan 2014 07:47:37
Hi eds what are the chances we will look at Luik de Jong, having seen him play in Europa league and looking at his age, record and possible price he seems a good option for us and supposedly he is available?

Believable2 Unbelievable20

{Ed001's Note - highly unlikely we will return to try and sign him.}

Morning all.
I have received a call telling me that Liverpool are monitoring the situation of Newcastle's winger Hatem Ben Arfa. He is entering the final 18 month's of his contract and his agent is in talks with Newcastle over extending his deal.
BUT I am told these negotiations are not going as planned and the player is very unhappy with the amount of playing time he has received this season.
With this being world cup year he thinks this is harming his chance of playing in the national team and COULD either use it as a bargaining tool for more playing time or to make a move away from Newcastle.
Good friends with Sakho and Enrique we could use these two to convince him to make the move to us.
A host of European club's are monitoring the situation. And we, at this stage are just keeping an eye on what's happening. But should there be any kind of chance he turn's down a new contract I think LFC could make a bid in the final days of the transfer window.
If not, and a new contract is not signed for the summer, efforts will be made to secure his signature at this time.

Believable12 Unbelievable72

Is he actually good friends with Enrique or are you just saying because the spent a maximum or 2 seasons at the same club it would be plausible? Same with sahko, is it just that they are both French? Newcastle has plenty more French players if that's the case.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Jan 2014 11:42:29
Sorry mate, but this is absolute NONSENSE.
Nonsense I tell you. Ben Arfa is the defenition of Inconsistency and lack of effort and workrate.
Completley what we DO NOT need. I hope the 'Comitee' have more footballing knowledge than this.

Agree7 Disagree2

14 Jan 2014 19:33:20
Over rated expensive redmoth

Agree0 Disagree0

No disrespect to Newcastle, but why would we want to buy a player who cannot get in the Newcastle first team?

Agree1 Disagree0

No disrespect Jara but maybe you should ask the same about Arsenal, Man Utd, PSG, Juventus and Napoli which are the other teams that are watching with interest.
I am not saying we will buy him but with us looking for a back up striker and a cheap one at that, maybe with only 18 months left on his contract LFC may see him as a good alternative.

Agree4 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - but they aren't watching with interest, that is pure nonsense.}

14 Jan 2014 05:55:46
Ilori is going out on loan. Three clubs are in the running, Betis, Valencia and Grenada.

Believable36 Unbelievable3

This wouldn't surprise me. We make a habit of paying big money for "Must have" players, not using them, and then farming them out for some other club to happily gain the benefit of our spending. Yeah I've heard the "He's getting match time and experience" theory but when do these loanees ever come back and join our first team? squad?

Agree4 Disagree2

Hi Eds, what is the situation with Ilori? We haven't seen him used in the first team, how is he progressing?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he is fine mate, just needs time to adapt.}

Should be loaning him out here the only way he will get used to the league, why send him to Spain seems a silly move

Agree2 Disagree0

Ed001 do you think he'll be loaned to la liga? or continue in the u21's mate?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it depends on if a good loan deal can be agreed, it is likely he will go out on loan.}

14 Jan 2014 05:31:53
Hi Eds, been a while. Any chance we looked at clyne?

Believable2 Unbelievable15

{Ed001's Note - not that I am aware of.}

We did watch him when he was at Palace, but decided not to move for him. there's been no interest since he moved.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2014 02:51:30
Just heard that Jordan Ibe will be joining MK Dons on loan. Meant to be agreed as part of a deal which will see Bamidele Alli sign for LFC.

Believable28 Unbelievable50

Blackburn mate.

Ynwa

Agree3 Disagree3

Well one of you are wrong and if he goes on loan to Blackburn then there'll be no Alli deal will there? My guess is he won't go on loan to any club.

Agree0 Disagree4

If Ibe goes out on loan, ed001, I presume that Salah or A.N. Other will be coming in?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool are looking for a wide player - it is unrelated to Ibe.}

13 Jan 2014 22:57:29
Hay ed's any interest is Fischer of Ajax? Would probably be expensive but could prove to be worth a punt.

Regards,

Believable10 Unbelievable17

{Ed002's Note - Not from Liverpool. The club do not have the money to be taking a "punt" on any player.}

Actually, a 'punt' is probably about all we DO have to spend. ;-)

Agree0 Disagree3

13 Jan 2014 22:39:01
Hi eds,
The Liverpool echo are reporting that br has been given the green light to sign yann mvila? Any truth? And also once again interest pops up surrounding Danny ings! Any truth in either of these?
Many thanks much appreciated!

Believable7 Unbelievable22

{Ed002's Note - I have no knowledge of interest in Ings from LFC.}

It's in the Internet rumours section of the Echo and not an actual truthful report

Agree12 Disagree0

I keep reading that Mvila has "baggage" associated with him. If he is trouble on or off the pitch could some Ed or poster tell me what he gets up to?

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - oh he is trouble, there is a long list of his misdemeanours around. He is more interested in being a knob than playing footie, unfortunately.}
