Hi eds is it true about ter Stegen agreeing to join barca my choice for a replacement for reins is mignolet are we interested {Ed002's Note - There is no agreement but Barcelona will look to complete a deal after being rejected over first choice Courtois.}


We are getting Begovic or Forster

Hi eds,
Any centrebacks we are looking at?
Cheers {Ed002's Note - It has been suggested that there is some Liverpool interest in Florin Gardos. Feyenoord's Stefan de Vrij was the subject of interest from Arsenal and Newcastle in the summer and a number of clubs have taken a look at the player this season including Spartak Moscow, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool. He is club captain where he is and I would think unlikely to want to move anywhere to find his opportunities of playing are reduced. We will see.}


What about Chico from Swansea


Hello Ed,
what about Benatia. Any chance?
I would readily take Benatia and Gardos (although admittedly I have not seen him play but if Ed002 reckons he is good then he is good)
to replace Carra, Skrtel and Coates.

Or if we plan to move Kelly and Wisdom to CB just get Benatia and go for someone like Santon who could cover both RB and LB.

{Ed002's Note - It is only February so questions including words like "any chance" are hopeless really. Mehdi Benatia turned down PSG in the summer but still interests Juventus and in particularly Napoli. Spurs, Milan, and possibly Manchester United have shown recent interest.}

Hey eds, any chance of Xabi Alonso making a return to Liverpool in the summer? {Ed002's Note - Personally it strikes me as unlikely but there is a good chance Real Madrid will sell him to help fund their summer spending.}


Ed will ronaldo leave real if they were to get bale and what would you say the likeliness or bale moving from spurs thanks {Ed002's Note - The two are unconnected. Ronaldo would probably not find anywhere better to be. There is certainly interest in Bale from Real Madrid and from Bayern Munich. I would not want to speculate on the chances of him leaving by Levy will not want to sell.}

Ed do you think Liverpool will still be interested in inan for the summer or do you believe Liverpool have moved on to other targets now {Ed002's Note - Galatasaray's Selcuk Inan has been interesting Rubin Kazan, Liverpool and Tavriya Simferopol and whilst it was clear in January that nothing would be happening before the summer, AC Milan has stepped in to seek discussions as early as possible. Gala has identified Alonso as a potential replacement.}

Ed002 am under the knowledge that you have a lot of sources/knowledge etcetera and as your a Chelsea follower you will therefore give us a non-bias answer.

If you was a betting person what would you put your money on for Suarez to stay or go during next summer?

Plymouth Red. {Ed002's Note - There is clear interest in Suarez from at least two clubs. We will see what happens but I suspect that at least one and probably two significant offers will be made for him from Continental Europe, and depending what happens elsewhere, perhaps one from England.}


Ed002 in your honest opinion do you think brendan rodgers will be manager of Liverpool next season? assuming we go out the europa league as expected and obviously don't finish top 4 which will never happen anyway {Ed002's Note - I really don't know but there will need to be changes somewhere.}


16 Feb 2013 17:14:33
The changes have to be really decent seasoned GK (not a child) nearly whole new lot of defenders and BR and FSG need to be locked away in a room together and thrash things out together and give BR another season and THEN if we finish below 5th then move him on.


Who is it from England Ed? Man City?
rather let him leave to Bayern or Juve. Also what would be a reasonable price for the transfer according to you Ed?
I know you don't like to go into financial side but still would around 40 million pounds be a reasonable figure.
I personally feel people are over-reacting on Suarez leaving aspect. I feel there is always a replacement available for every player, you just need to look.

Secondly, if he does leave who according to you could be an option to replace him?
I know you have already mentioned Sanchez but could Rodrigo (Benefica) and Jovetic also be an option?

{Ed002's Note - Manchester City could potentially interested depending who leaves this summer. They have an offer on the table for negotiation for Tevez and Dzeko will leave if he can agree a wage deal elsewhere. With Ballotelli gone, Nasri likely to be heading back to France and their other targets perhaps being difficult to sign up, a move for Suarez is probably not something to be discounted. As you say, there will be interest from Bayern Munich and possibly Juventus. I really don't want to get in to the money. Depending what happens with Juventus, Alexis Sanchez could be available and might prove to be a suitable replacement if Liverpool are interested. Atletico Madrid have shown an interest in Rodrigo and he could be available - but perhaps at an unrealistic price. They are also looking to Jackson Martinez and will be looking for part ownership deals of some type. Jovetic was very clearly the primary target for Manchester City next summer and until recent comments from the player and his agent that he does not want to leave Italy, I could certainly see that happening. The clear alternatives are Inter Milan and Juventus who have very clear targets and a significant budget to buy a player to play off their main striker. They have identified three possible players - and Jovetic is one.}

Hey Ed002, would Mourinho ever consider Liverpool, or would our financial situation deter him because of an inability to approach the best players in the world?

Colin {Ed002's Note - This has been done to death in the past - I see little point in opening it up again right now.}

Ed002 you said the other day that the owners had enquired about someone to come and help rodgers with the footballing side of the club but that he would not be available untill after the 2014 world cup. Would you be able to say who that person is? {Ed002's Note - He is not available and won't be arriving, so it is not really relevant.}


I appreciate it won't be happening as you've made that clear but who was it ed? am just curious.

Thanks.

Plymouth Red. {Ed002's Note - I would rather not open it up for discussion as it will likely lead to more grizzling.}


Do you think fsg will look for other persons? or would a defensive coach come? {Ed002's Note - I understand that they will look to bringing someone in to help out on the footballing side.}

Hello Eds,
is our interest in Emanuel Eminike (Spartak Moskow), Ashley Williams (to replace Skrtel) and Isminat Mirin (to replace Coates) true?

{Ed002's Note - There was talk of Panathinaikos interest in Emenike a while back. I am not aware of any confirmed interest from Liverpool at this time, although there are of course rumours that he is being "lined up" as a replacement for Suarez.

Valenciennes Nicolas Isimat-Mirin has been the subject of a rejected bid by Lille whist Newcastle and Fulham are still also considering a bid. I am not aware of any confirmed interest from Liverpool.

I can confirm that as of this time Liverpool has made no approach to Swansea regarding Ashley Williams, so the reports linking him with a move seem no more than speculation.}


16 Feb 2013 15:24:00
NOOOOOO! I bleeding knew Ashley Williams name was going to be mentioned again. If BR going to raid Swansea he needs to get Michu if anyone from there. Unless anyone can think of someone else? Just not Ashley!
