Ed's, I read somewhere that we are looking at Jeffrey Bruma who has been on loan at Hamburg. Do you know if this is true or just a random rumour? {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware but he is available.}

Any idea if there is any truth in the Praet rumours? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool had someone watching Praet in the Champions League game between Anderlecht and Zenit Saint Petersburg earlier in the season and a number of other clubs have had scouts take a look at the player. Ajax and AC Milan have declared an interest in the player with Anderlecht.}

Papadopoulous is definitely on our radar and may happen.

Lovren though is absolute s**** Lyon fans want him out and Croatian's think he's a failure

Believable12 Unbelievable33

No truth to this

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes had a serious knee injury and been out since NOV. I don't think anyone will be signing him with a detailed medical

Agree0 Disagree0

Lovren is quality. he'll get picked up by a top team, then you'll see. Watch this space.

Hello Eds! Intresting summer with plenty of ins and outs! Just a quick update on the defence, Douglas will NOT be coming to Liverpool on a free transfer this summer! He wants to play first team football! I have heard he is going to Spurs or Arsenal! Liverpool have now targeted Anderwield & Ilori - The Papadopoulos deal depends on Newcastle paying the full fee for Carroll if they don't we will move for Lovern!

Cheers PDLFC

Believable12 Unbelievable32

Douglas wants first team football, so he can't go to Liverpool, but will go to spurs or arsenal. Really?

Agree0 Disagree0

17 May 2013 09:54:04
i suspect the post was meant to say he wants cl football and that will be between arsenal whoever gets there. Tommy Irish Red

Agree0 Disagree0

We won't be signing three centrebacks. It'll be two and Martin Kelly moving across.

Is there any interest in Torje of Granada? A very tricky player who can operate on either wing or through the middle.
Thanks, {Ed002's Note - Udinese and Genoa.}

Believable5 Unbelievable22

Is the Gabriel Torje, He used to be red hot on an old version of Football Mananager. I used to buy him and Bogdan Stancu everytime

Agree0 Disagree0

Gabriel Torje, excellent player. Is actually owned by Udinese and on loan at Granada. Pacey, tricky winger. Would be a great signing for someone

We're trying to get both Papadopoulos and Ilori wrapped up as soon as possible. £4m bid lodged for Ilori and in advanced negotiations with Schalke concerning the Greek (sod typing that name again!) willing to go upto £18million apparently!

Anyway, make of it what you will.

hi eds tried the search function and couldn't find anything definitive, is there any solid proof that we are interested in tello have we sent scouts in the last few months? or has there been any contact between us and barca? any answer will be apreciated thabks {Ed002's Note - General enquiries about the player's availability were made last summer by Porto, Seville, Malaga and Liverpool. Discussions about loans of one type or another were raised by Valencia, Ajax, Benfica and Atletico Madrid - all of which came to nothing. Tello agreed a new contract in January which assures him that he will not be left in the B squad and with Sanchez and Villa leaving this summer he may well make the transition he desires. However, whilst there remains speculation that Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool could be interested it is hard to see Barcelona simply selling him on with the others leaving. If the situation is such that Barcelona decide to make an approach for Suarez, it is possible that Tello might be part of the negotiations.}

Pepe is staying, very reliable source from melwood. Liverpool looking to bring in a new keeper just to keep Pepe on his toes.

Believable34 Unbelievable25

Worst news possible!

Agree0 Disagree0

What's happening with Brad Jones then, is he not good enough for even no. 2 now?

Agree0 Disagree0

Who ever said worst news ever, are you mad pep starting to show his form again top keeper and would cost at least £10 million to replace him

Agree0 Disagree0

17 May 2013 09:31:45
@ Keith,
Brad Jones is undoubtedly a good guy who has endured personal tragedies whilst still managing to smile. However he is simply not good enough to be realistic competition to Pepe as anyone who saw his last flapping performance will confirm.

Hi Eds.

I was reading an article (can't remember where now) that stated Liverpool retained a buyback option on Nikolay Mihailov when he was sold to FC Twente. Do you know if this is true?

I used the search function, but couldn't find an answer!

Thanks. {Ed002's Note - I really doubt any such clause exists.}

Believable7 Unbelievable14

I remember seeing this when we sold him

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm not saying such a clause exists but maybe this explains where the original poster is coming from.

Interview in Mirror 30/03/11

"Liverpool are a huge club, " he told Bulgarian station Darik Radio. "It wasn't possible to get a work visa when I went there but now there'll be no such problems because I'm playing regularly in the national team. "

On Liverpool's buy-back option on him he said: "I think it's absolutely real. The option was made when Rafa Benitez was in charge. "

Agree0 Disagree0

I remember Mihailov claiming that LFC had a buy-back option - clearly he thinks so.

Hi Eds, is there any truth that Barcelona might be willing to part ways with some of its young players in order to raise funds for Neymar, in particular part with Thiago?
Thanks in advance Eds, highly appreciated.

Ndora {Ed002's Note - Barcelona will be selling players this summer. Thiago won't be moving to Liverpool.}

dear Eds,

-Heard that lfc camp had contacted lyon for Dejan Lovren? is it true?



thanx Eds.

cybersix {Ed002's Note - Lovren is attracting interest from a number of English clubs and has been watched by representatives of Sunderland, Everton, Chelsea, Stoke and Liverpool in addition to Roma, Barcelona and Hamburg. With Hamburg close to agreeing a deal for a centre back I suspect their interest will drop off. He could well be available at the right price in the summer, but Aulas will look for a higher fee from English sides if he sells - perhaps why he has told the world which clubs have shown an interest in Lovren. Atletico Madrid, Roma and Chelsea have made direct approaches about his availability with Lyon.}

Cheshire paper reporting lfc will make a bid gor mcmanaman this week he is seen a better buy than ince because he has done it the prem,

Believable36 Unbelievable41

He is a bitter fan and hopefully won't join not good enough by a long way

Agree0 Disagree0

Has he done it in the Premier League? His team got relegated.

Agree0 Disagree0

Liverpool should go for burnleys charlie austin not ince

Agree0 Disagree0

Charlie Adam 'did it' in the Prem for Blackpool and look what happened to him.

Agree0 Disagree0

All he's done in the prem is get relegated - not good enough for lfc, we can get better players.

Hi eds, what's happening with Joseph illic palmero have said he can leave. I I is Liverpool are long term admirers, do you think a move is plausible? And also what about Jeffren from sporting Lisbon! {Ed001's Note - I don't know where he is going, there was talk of him joining Dortmund, then Eriksen suddenly piped up with how he would love to join them. I think Jeffren's club are the issue with him, they are not keen on losing him and are asking a bit much, from what I am told.}

Tom Ince is staying at Blackpool, new deal to be signed. From source within BFC

Believable40 Unbelievable9

We don't really need him as we already have Sterling, Coutinho, Downing & Suarez that can all play out wide and also young Jordan Ibe & Kristoff Peterson who will play some part next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Good he's a championship payer at best.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope so, bored to tears with hearing about him and us being strung along for more and more money each attempt. Let him stay there, as poster said above, championship player.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 May 2013 09:32:40
in honest words, thanks, better youths coming through

Agree0 Disagree0

The club took up the option to extend his deal because they can get more money for him now. Where as we agreed around 6-8 milluion now they can demand up to around 10-11 for him

Agree0 Disagree0

Dejan Lovren just followed Liverpool on twitter. It's his account to! The thing is he doesn't follow much and only follows Lyon. I know it may not mean much but if that's not looking for trouble I don't know what is!

Believable21 Unbelievable27

He is also following Bayern Munich.

Apples '96'

Agree0 Disagree0

He followed bayern munich ages ago Liverpool recently dnt u find this a little odd and random?

Agree0 Disagree0

He may be a fan? Or just bored and trying to see what news he can generate tomorrow [FR]

Hi eds,
Rumours flying about we've agreed a deal with Barca for Reina, Tello+£5million allegedly.
Can anyone confirm this?

Believable18 Unbelievable61

I'd be surprised if it was a cash +player deal for reina how often do they actually happen

Agree0 Disagree0

Supposedly there is a release clause of between 8. 5-10 million depending on who you believe. I can't see us rating Reina at less than 10m.

Agree0 Disagree0

Tello any good in goal? loll

Agree0 Disagree0

16 May 2013 08:48:58
Hi, anyone heard anything about Dejan Lovren? He was linked somewhere yesterday and has recently started following LFC on twitter. I know this means it is by no means definite but something similar happened with Sahin at one point.

Believable13 Unbelievable23

Well the papadopolous rumors are rubbish, there is more chance of Liverpool getting lovern but its too early to say as the rumors are coming from twitter,

Hi, Eds. Have we taken a look at any of the qpr players? Maybe, taarabt, hoilett, granero?

Ratan. {Ed001's Note - no, why would we? They are the reason QPR are in a mess, have you not been listening to Redknapp's comments about them? Those players are lazy good for nothings, to a man. Their couldn't care less attitude is why QPR went down.}

Believable6 Unbelievable38

A bit of a general opinion ed. {Ed001's Note - no, it was their own manager and owner has publicly stated!}

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank God for the sanity of Ed001. seriously crazy posters linking us with the dross of QPR.

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you for REAL?
These players played for QPR. You know the team that was IMO relegated at Xmas time. We want top 4 and pushing for the league title. These type of players won't improve Liverpool.
Taarbt is always built up to be something. clearly he isn't and I wish people would stop linking us to him Derry Red

Agree0 Disagree0

Wouldn't touch Taarabt with a barge pole. Serious attitude problems that lad

Agree0 Disagree0

Mmmmm

Any interest in Julio Cesar? Just in case we need to "cash in" Reina (may it be for Tello) {Ed002's Note - No.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed001, I feel you are holding back somewhat and I think you should let go and say what you really want to say! Lol excellent.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 May 2013 01:39:53
We are negotiating with Strootman of PSV. Not a rumour, a fact. He thought he was signing for Man U, but has now been told that Fellaini is their target for his position. His agent is gutted, thinking he had it all sealed and is working overtime as he knows he is out of pocket.

Believable28 Unbelievable25

I very much doubt that Strootman's agent would be that gutted, it' not like he won't have any offers

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope we get him- Dick Advocaat recently said he is "as good as Gareth Barry. " I'm sold! {Ed001's Note - I can't believe Advocaat would have been so denigrating!!! I bet the lad must have been devastated.}

Agree0 Disagree0

In my opinion one of the better options out there as he possesses all the qualities needed for a complete midfielder as well as having a good physical presence which we need!

Christian Eriksen is a done deal.

Tomo.

Believable84 Unbelievable56

Tomo mate nice one, you made my night, can't wait to see him at Anfield.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh?
To Dortmund?

Agree0 Disagree0

You're going to have to elaborate, my friend

Agree0 Disagree0

Llori from sporting lisbon aswell 3.5m.
Eriksen is around 16m.
Tello and Williams to follow. Also Wanyama is being tracked.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wheres he going?

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah, to Dortmund.

The real AG

Agree0 Disagree0

Yea he is going to bvb.

Agree0 Disagree0

So Dortmund have closed it then?

Agree0 Disagree0

Who let's these people near the internet while they are our of their wards without medication or supervision.

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope you are right.

Agree0 Disagree0

I will believe you. After Eriksen turned up and takes a photo with him holding a Liverpool shirt in hand.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope not!

Agree0 Disagree0

To where?

HB

Agree0 Disagree0

More chance of Sven Goren arriving in some capacity!

Glen Johnson will ask to leave the club in the summer. he wants to have a cracks at the Spanish la liga. it's purely a football decision, Enrique has been helping him with his Spanish.

Believable22 Unbelievable114

Yay nice one let's hope its madrid or someone else who'll pay over the odds

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh he's been taking lessons for a season or two now and still hasn't left. Two and two doesn't make six. Stop fabricating pure tripe.

Agree0 Disagree0

So a man who earns tens of thousands of pounds a week doesn't get a spanish tutor if he wants to learn spanish or even a rosetta stone package - he just asks a mate to donate his spare time?

Agree0 Disagree0

The usual crap that comes with each window. Nice one! Come October 2013 GJ will still be donning the famous red jersey. No need to sell players - we have a good squad that needs a few quality additions and we are on our way to the top come May 2014.

Agree0 Disagree0

Let him go, he was awful this season

Agree0 Disagree0

Well Real Madrid are looking for a good right back and he was linked in January to them. and we all know how Real Madrid like taking are players away, there could be some truth in this

intitiwetrust

Agree0 Disagree0

Garuntee he won't be at anfield next season. Won't be a huge loss anyway.

Agree0 Disagree0

He's been learning Spanish for about 3 years now

Agree0 Disagree0

Would love it to be true, People go on about his attacking ability but obviously don`t watch the games as he hasn`t offered much going forward all year. As for his defending, you would have to say it was class, Pure League two class.!

Maybe he has an eye on his future after he stops playing like coaching management et al. Everybody has the right to improve and educate themselves in their spare time this is a lot better than going to the bookies and losing a fortune r hitting the drink in your prime like a lot of players have done. When he is coaching r manager with a few spainish players he won't be left wondering r they making a laugh of me. he will be able to get his message accross far quicker, I would be surprised if most players wouldn't be learning languages with this in mind. Tommy Irish Red

Agree0 Disagree0

Sell Johnson buy Richards

Agree0 Disagree0

He is also studying maths atm. That means he is going to quit football and become a maths teacher. Doesn't it?

Agree0 Disagree0

Let him go, he was awful this season?. this has been one of his better seasons with us.

hi eds
would just like to ask, is there any truth in these rumours, eriksen, alderweirder, papadopolous, digne, martens in my eyes the season hasn't even finished yet and I know we've scouted eriksen and alderweirder but I can't see any of these rumours as being true, the transfer market doesn't even open untill another 7 weeks, how often do u see a transfer done befor it opens? hardly ever! I can see the eriksen rumours having some legs because of dortmunds interest but apart from that all of this must just be rubbish! {Ed001's Note - none have signed yet, if that is what you are asking.}

Believable16 Unbelievable3

It makes more sense to get transfers done early so that new signings will be in place for pre-season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but surely you could negotiate and come to some kind of agreement before the window opens and then make it official and sign contracts, etc after the window opens?

Not saying any of those rumours are true, but is there anything stopping a club contacting another club before the window actually opens?

Agree0 Disagree0

15 May 2013 22:39:59
Has the rumour of heung min son coming to anfield got any legs? Would love the lad to be linking up with coutinho next season as it looks like we will miss out on eriksen? Thanks eds, great site :) {Ed001's Note - I believe there is interest in him, from us and a couple of other Prem sides.}

Believable22 Unbelievable8

I think he will be a good signing. Both in football and commercial reason.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would be a class signing!

Agree0 Disagree0

Who's the other two? {Ed001's Note - Spurs were one, I think the other was Man Utd, but I could be wrong on that one as it is just off the top of my head.}

Agree0 Disagree0

15 May 2013 22:20:32
Ed just a quick one is there any interest in cordoza of Benfica & what kind of fee would they be looking for? Thought he wasnt a bad player a few years back but haven't seen much of him this year.

Frog. {Ed001's Note - Oscar Cardozo? I remember thinking this a while ago, then it came up on here and I didn't know myself. It seemed strange that he was always scoring goals, yet not getting much in the way of interest. I still don't hear of much interest, no idea how much they would ask. He is 29 now, I would think any fee would be too high considering his age.}

Believable3 Unbelievable15

8-10m should land him. Him and Suarez would cause fear. Front three of Suarez Cardoza Sturridge with Eriksen Gerrard and Coutinho behind them!

Agree0 Disagree0

Carrol is a lot better and younger
