Hi ed 02 ! what's the latest on mauro icardi ? is there any interest from Liverpool ?

{Ed002's Note - Inter's Mauro Icardi has been subject to interest from Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, and was very much Chelsea's first choice for the summer, but will look to sign a new deal with Inter - a contract that is in his favour unlike the one he has now.

There has never been interest from Liverpool.}

Afternoon Eds and Reds.

Prepare for a barrage of posts asking if we will buy Sadio Mane.
My serious question is regarding Lars Stindl of Hannover and if we are still considering him in the summer or has our interest waned, as i recall Ed001 mentioning we we're watching him closely.

Looking forward to Stevie's last home game later. What a great servant he has been to Liverpool and i hope he enjoys his time in the states before hopefully returning to us in a coaching capacity.

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - You should search these things but he has decided to reject the interest of Liverpool and will move to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the summer.}

Read this morning that a merry go round of senior players is happening, Stevie G leaving (gutted) alonso to juve with pirlo coming to us.

{Ed002's Note - Ironically most of the Liverpool supporters on these pages have been trashing Gerrard all season - now we have a love-in for him. Didi H has stuck his foot in it with an article and is getting some ribbing from a couple of journalists this morning - "Gerrard might be the last great player to spend his entire career at one club" - where is he going Didi?}

MLS doesn't count Ed

{Ed002's Note - It obviously does to Little Stevie Gerrard who is packing his Jose Mourinho pyjamas and heading off to play there this summer - rather than in Liverpool.}

I never trashed the guy . Players in there now not good enough to lace he's boots . I'll give coutinho a pass on that . The moronic had a go . I blame Brenda for sticking him in deep n exposing him .

I thought the same thing when I read it. What a donut.

Nice bit of Banter there by Ed. If he returns to the prem for another club I'd agree. Perhaps DH should qualify his statement with entire "prem" career. But I take it the Pirlo rumour has zero truth in it?

{Ed002's Note - So you are proposing different criteria for Gerrard because he is in some way "special"?
Maybe it would be better for DH just to come out and say he screwed up and has made himself a laughing stock rather than coming up with some truly pitiful statement as you suggest? It is nice to remember Gary Lineker spending his entire career at Nagoya Grampus Eight though.}

Technically, thus far, he is still a one club man.

Gerrard's play declined with age, but he is clearly "special"

The toe-poke-king also played for Leicester, Everton, Barca and Spurs

{Ed001's Note - I think you are missing the point there.}

Misread it, sorry Eds

{Ed001's Note - I thought you must have somehow. No worries mate.}

Hi Ed, curious if you think Pirlo rumour has any legs? Seems a very odd choice to me. Also if Alonso leaving, would we consider making a bid for him? I would love to see Alonso back as a deep lying playmaker/defensive midfielder as I think he's better defensively than Stevie G so a more natural choice for the role even if he's also getting on a bit.

{Ed001's Note - I don't believe there is anything in it. Also not convinced we would move for Xabi either, sadly. I think he would be very suited to us right now with his experience.}

16 May 2015 15:04:16
Agree - would be huge step in replacing the experience of SG in the dressing room and provide some serious quality in the defensive playmaker space for Can to learn from and take over in a year or two. and he loves the club so one might hope he'd seriously consider it

Hi Ed.
You really should have a bit more respect forother people s opinions.
Stevie G has finished his top flight playing career with us as his only club.
Didi H. was a great player who was only paying respect to a Liverpool icon.
That word respect is something you could learn about .

{Ed001's Note - so you don't think people should be able to have a laugh then? Only Didi made a mistake and is taking the jokes in good humour, so what has it got to do with you if he is getting a bit of stick? You are another one making a big mistake, a disrespectful mistake at that, by suggesting MLS is not top flight, when they are the USA's top flight league. So I would suggest winding that neck in.}

Alright ed? Any firm interest in Griezmann from any club?

{Ed001's Note - try Eurosoccer or Chelsea.}
