Hi eds, great site and great job!

Was talking to a friend of mine earlier who is a villa season ticket holder and he reckons downing is staying for another year at villa and then being allowed move to lfc for £10 million as lfc is where he wants to go, either this or we pay £20 million for him now, just wondering ed if you had heard anything in regards to this, could be old news to you guys but i've been outta the loop for last two days! also was wondering if you think it will be johnson we will try get as i think it will, cheers dude, keep up the good work!

Chris! red4eva {Ed001's Note - I don't know about that, I find it extremely unlikely as he would have no guarantee we would want him in a year's time.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 23:09:42
Marveaux did not fail his medical it is just more twitter lies like phil jones last week.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 23:04:17
Since when have adidas made golf clubs? They don't but they do make lfc football shirts, which is his new club?? Just putting that out there
Leicester red {Ed001's Note - they do make golf clubs, try googling it and you will find adidas golf bats are made by a company called Taylor Made.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 23:04:16
In response to the 'coded message' that Charlie Adam posted this morning: he actually said on twitter.......


1) Just received my new clubs adidasuk hopefully get a hit with them this afternoon

second post an hour later was :

2) Taylormade

Ive no idea what the message is supposed to say though ??

Tel1949 {Ed001's Note - all it means is that his clubs were made for him especially to suit.}

No it doesn't! Taylormade is a brand of golf clubs !!! {Ed001's Note - yes they make adidas golf clubs that he had made for himself.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 23:03:14
Will get past all the following players Sanchez, messi, hazard, aguero, neymar, that are lined up to join on the 1st of July (sorry playin FM) & get on to the Adam deal, Adam does want to come to us but is only 50/50 the Blackpool chairman does not want to sell to us after the January transfer window, he blames us for turning his head and feels that they would of stayed up if Adam' head wasn't somewhere else. Have spoken to family in Glasgow that know Adam, and he is pi**ed off wit the situation.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 22:58:53
i think it may have something to do with him saying he got some new clubs, and kept mentioning adidas clubs and hoping to use them today, or he could just be playing golf, {Ed001's Note - he was playing golf.}

To my knowledge you can not get adidas golf clubs so take from that what you like in my opinion its just to get the media talking {Ed001's Note - adidas golf clubs are made by Taylor Made.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 22:43:37
James Mcarthy of Wigan who we have been previously linked with this summer will not be moving this season, close friend of the family is part of backroom staff at Wigan. He says he will more than likely stay on for another year but Liverpool is on the cards for next summer.

It has has been confirmed in France, Sylvain Marveaux has failed his LFC medical. Move not completely dead, but now in severe doubt.
------------------------------
This is begining to show up on british sources too. He has a history of injurys could very well be true. eds? {Ed001's Note - I can't find out, Friday night is not a good time to be phoning people unfortunately!}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 22:20:07
Hi eds why is everyone saying marvaux has failed his medical, I have it on very good authority that he has in fact passed his medical and will be unveiled as a red on July 1st, it's just twitter nonsense or probably a manc.

Up the reds

YNWA {Ed001's Note - French media are reporting he failed.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 22:03:30
Eds can you clear these rumours up for me.


Charlie Adam - have united hi-jacked the deal?

Adam Johnson - have we made contact? wud he favour the move?

Scott Dann - Stoke and Villa are favorites?

Thanks Boys.

Great site. {Ed001's Note - no United have not moved for Adam. Johnson we contacted the club but City want a replacement before they will discuss any sale. They are looking for one though. Dann I have absolutely no idea about, sorry.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 22:14:35
No inside knowledge....but a gut feeling that we have got the Mata deal close to being sorted out....its not so much a money issue (we will pay the necessary fee to Valencia no problem) ....more that we have been able to convince Juan that in footballing terms it will be a great move for him... and Mata and his dad are impressed with our club and the direction we are heading in. Also with a revolving door time at the Bernabau we could just be about to have Xabi Alonso coming back to Anfield...magic.

17 Jun 2011 22:07:57
Adam and Downing will sign, not sure who will sign first, but my contacts tell me Downing will be next in.
Connor Wickham will come in after the Euros with Jonjo Shelvey going on a season long loan to ipswich Town.

Also there is a massive rumour going around the north west that the big number 19 outside old trafford reflects how many times they touched the ball against Barcelona in the European cup final...

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 21:54:24
via Jen Chang
Cristian Zapata - A good player but sceptical of his comments in regard to LFC. Made similar claims about Arsenal in 2009 and Juve. Also highly doubt Zapata qualifies for a UK work permit and doubt LFC would wait until end of Copa (July) for a CB to make a decision.

So has he failed his medical? Matt wollacott

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 21:31:47
WHY HASN'T ANY OTHER CLUB MADE A BID FOR HONDA?
Could it be that we've already agreed a fee for him?

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 21:20:12
Can anyone give me a heads up on this Zapata guy, like is he any good?. He's said himself that a move to LFC is close and just wanted to know what peoples opinions were.

Thanks

eds what the chance of us getting arda turan, juan mata or neymar maybe even young or sanchez? {Ed002's Note - Mata is possible, Arda slightly less so, Young looks MUFC bound, Neymar and Sanchez zippo.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 21:17:58
Ed

Vargas isnt a full back, he isnt even a wing back, hes a winger/left midfielder, who as played occasionally at left back for about 10% of his career, and played left wing for the other 90%..If we sign him it will be as a winger.Sorry to be picky, other than that excellent website

Any Cazorla news, have we had talks with Villarreal, his agent, Cazorla himself, or is it just Pepe has said to Kenny hes a top player

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 21:15:16
Marveaux will not be on 60k a week as reported. He will pick up a basic pay of 40k with a high bonus for goals and assists.

17 Jun 2011 20:54:59
Sylvain Marveaux has not failed his medical. He took it yesterday and passed with flying colours. He put some serious work into getting fit proporly for the new season which is why he never rushed back to play for Rennes last season because he knew he was a Liverpool player. He took it slow and proporly and passed his medical. He will officially be a Liverpool player on 1 July when the transfer window opens.

Just like Phil Jones failed his medical at Man Utd? Yeah right more like s**tter nonesense.

Liverpool will be signing top players this window such as; Johnson- 17 mil
Mata- 21 mil
Zapata- 15 mil
Cissokho- 14 mil
Damn- 10 mil
Marveaux- free
Adam- 10 mil

We will sign top players like we did in Jan. Sell the usual culprits and make about 25 mil. Net spend around 60 mil.

Fear not fellow reds, king Kenny has some tricks up his sleeve.

Just read on an Italian website that the Doni move is back on.It was in doubt not because of wages as reported by the press but because of Gala being interested but have now turned there attention to Lazio's keeper.Personal terms only thing that need sorting out .I for one am glad that we are gonna have a quality back up to Reina.Arsenal fans please dont think its a sign that you're gonna try and lure Pepe to ya.Jonny Boy

Hi All first time post. ED 002 YOU ARE THE BOSS !!! Leroy Lita has informed me that Liverpool are in a talks with a young chinese boy called TING FUNG LAI. Aged 13, already playing for the CHINA u18 s. This lad is supposed to be the next Dalglish. A big kid for his age group 5 9 speed of a sprinter but ball skills of Messi. A figure of 2 million to his parent club agreed. Watch for the name.

Hi Ed,

You dont have to post this, but just thought I would let you know a little info I was told today but is probably not that significant.

I met up with an old mate of mine today who I used to be very good friends with, he was telling me he got a job with some connection with Karl Oyston about a month ago as he has some family connection with Karl and goes out shooting with him. He told me he was having a beer with Karl at my mates house in Kirby Lonsdale last night, I asked him if he had any info on Charlie Adam, he said Karl was not happy about the subject and said he was going to refuse to sell him to anybody!!! lol My mate said he was not in a very good mood and said Karl was adamant he was not going to sell him.

I trust the info 100%, but think maybe Karl was angry and being a stubborn b*stard lol

Anyway i know its not great info but will let you know anything else I can find out soon.

Cheers Ed,

RedChris

17 Jun 2011 18:36:25
Macca,
Like all us fans, do you not feel underwhelmed by our transfer targets?

Don't get me wrong, the likes of Adam and Downing are decent quality premier league players but are they top class and the sort of players to shoot us into the top 4 and would they be mainstays in the other top teams in England or Europe?

I know Comolli said our preference of Prem league players over foreign, but who would you prefer, Mata or Downing for example.

Suarez excites whereas the likes of Henderson and Carroll dont excite me.

Macca, what do you think is driving our transfer policy, because it seems that we may be paying over the odds for our choices?

posted over a month ago about our interest in Zapata of Udinese. I stated at that time that we were exploring the possibilty of a swap deal involving Aquilani.
And I see today, news has finally come out about him being close to signing for us, I can't confirm wether of not Aquilani will be involved in the deal, as I havent had any details about the finer details of the transfer.
But I will say, the persons that tipped me off about Zapata, also stated we were pulling out all the stops to try and sign Cavani from Napoli. This is a very complicated deal, as Napoli will only take full ownership of the Uruguayan on 1st July, and there seems to be a very strong possibilty that he will then move to Anfield almost immediately.
Im no expert, and am not even sure such a move is allowed, but if/when this happens, please remember who told you first.

was'nt cavani valued at £85m?

Hi Eds!
Two questions.
I hear Roma have put in a bid for Clichy, do u think LFC will return with an improved offer?
& Have Spurs made a bid for Charlie Adam?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - I had thought that Menez would go in part exchange but he is being courted by PSG. I have no feeling right now what will happen at left back.}

17 Jun 2011 18:19:56
Liverpool will flex their muscles with Comolli keen to bring Aaron Lennon to Anfield with Joe Cole going the opposite way. Comolli was a prime figure in bringing Lennon to white hart lane and Redknapp is still believed to be a keen admirerer of Coles ability. Comolli is also interested in lodging a £16.5 mil bid for Borussia Dortmund front man Lucas Barrios. Discussions between the two clubs have come to a stand still with Dortmund holding out for nearer to £20 mil for their prize asset.

More news to come.

Hi eds who is the clown claiming we are after bentley and that he is worth £14 million and £75k a week, I nearly spat my coffee out when I read that, only serious rumours or if you are really in the know don't post things for the sake of it, it spoils the read for everyone. Eds on a serious note any more news on Adam thought he was supposed to sign today or is that oyston twonk still playing silly buggers.

hi eds ! is any there any chance of signing philippe coutinho ? {Ed002's Note - Inter have offered to loan Coutinho to Bologna as part of the Gaston Ramirez deal, but Roma may scupper the Ramirez deal. I don't think they want to sell but suspect they will listen to offers. So a chance.}

According to Barrios' agent, he prefers a move to the Liverpool and team up with fellow south american striker Suarez. At the moment both clubs are still undecided on the fee which is believed to be between £15mil - £20mil.

17 Jun 2011 18:04:25
Right i am ready to be abused, i got the day wrong..

He will sign though....( Adam)

Cheers

Macca

Also i want to clarify my position on the signing of people from outside the prem, we will sign our targets (prem based) regardless of selling any players..

Once they start to get others of the wage bill they will look at young players from wherever in the world with a resale value..

We do not need to sell to buy..

Just going for a few pints so will try and respond to the banter later..

Cheers

according to rumours in france, sylvain marveaux failed his medical and liverpool are unwilling to take the risk of signing him

17 Jun 2011 18:01:38
gago... the argentine lad. his agent has said that he would welcome a move to liverpool if he leave's real madrid. he was linked with villa as well but would prefer liverpool... if you ask me definitely a deal we should go for if he wants it....
also whats happening with n'zogbia... cos for his skill mata can go to hell in my opinion n'zogbia is a top player and we'd be damn lucky to come here and these rumours about mata if we get him great but lets be honest he'll want champions league cos he's of that class but i think we'll get champions league this season ...

Hi Ed back in january I posted a list of players I thought we should target on that list were Lucas Barrios and Dejan Lovren at the time you said you thought these two were very unlikely. I see their names being mentioned more often lately do you think things have changed or do you still see them as not realistic

17 Jun 2011 17:35:44
Hi everyone.

DC has been talking to Barrios and Johnson's reps over a possible move. I can confirm we are very interested in them, aswell as them being interested in us. Talks have been positive.

Downing is getting closer, now that McLeish has been installed as AVFC's new manager. Mata is also a possibility, and talks have been positive with his dad (his agent). Though talks with the player are stalled until after the U-21's. His dad sees LFC as the ideal place to go on and further his career.

Zapata, Cahill, Sakho, Dann, Lovren are targets for CB. Baines, Cissokho, Enrique, Clichy are targets for LB.

Adam is waiting on a call from his agent to tell him to go to Melwood for a medical. Oyston being the t**t that he is, is waiting for MUFC to come in for a bid, when they dont even want him, he is hanging on to the call MUFC made in Jan, saying they were gonna make a bid. THFC trying to hijack the deal but Adam wants the LFC move.

Cheers.

Tommo

Ed what do you think are the chances that some LFC fans will grow up and stop throwing their dummy out the pram over a strip of blue in a kit? {Ed009's Note - that's got to be the least likely rumour I've ever read on here. Can we have the comparitively nailed on Kun Aguero ones back ;).}

David Bentley has emerged as a transfer target for Damien Comolli, and a bid of around £14m should secure his services. Comolli is known to be a huge admirer and will offer Bentley £75k a week to join the merseysiders. A deal should be completed early next month.

is this guy having a laff.... £14m for a reserve player I think not. Adam played all the prem season and is being bought for around £9-12mil come get off the weed mate.

A Johnson is to meet with comolli in Manchester tommorrow, with liverpool prepared to offer 20m for his services. Johnson is said to be eager as he believes liverpool are going to be a big force in the coming seasons and he believes he can be a big part of it. Also he will play almost every game at left wing.

Im no expert, and am not even sure such a move is allowed, but if/when this happens, please remember who told you first.

How are all the ed's today?

Seems like i have missed all the blonde irish drama! Poor Adam got slated, bless the lad take it on the chin! A new name in the frame today could be Khouma Babacar of Fiorentina, as we look to miss out on Muniain. Comolli and Dalglish want a young understudy for Carroll and Suarez and have shortlisted Babacar as a viable option. He would be less than half Muniains transfer cost as Babacar is rated £11m. You may not have heard much about this one but what are your thoughts on the player?

Adzii {Ed009's Note - I think the player has a lot of potential, but I don't know of interest from LFC at the minute. I'm good thanks, and the other Ed's are their charming selves as well! I hope we can move on from Adam's comments too. There was no malicious intent involved and he is never aggressive to anywhere on here unlike the small number of others.}

As im a regular poster i know the site is credible and fun! Glad we can get back to transfer talk, oh another thing Ed's, you probably not heard anythign about this one either but Sanchez, Aguero, Contreao, David Villa and Neymar all to sign... ;) Haha GENUINE!

Adzii {Ed002's Note - I suspect zip chance of Khouma Babacar moving to Liverpool this summer.}

I'd like to make a ppublic apology. I didn't mean to be insulting to blondes or Irish people. It was a light hearted joke. I happen to be part Irish and I am related to multiple blondes. I did state it was a joke immediately after on the same post. I even put a wink face to show it wasn't serious. I'm certainly not a racist p**lk. I think thts pretty harsh. Its called Liverpool banter... Go onto jokes of the day and i'm sure you'll find much worse...
Anyway, Sorry fellow posters, and sorry Eds.

Liverpool are apparently considering offering Jay Bothroyd a contract after he left Cardiff at the end of the season.

Sylvan Marveux is set to be unvieled either today or tomorrow as our newest signing.

Liverpool are still thought to be leading the chase to sign Antonio Cassano although no bid has been made for the striker who is thought to be available for around £10m.

Henderson could make his debut on the first day of the season to former club Sunderland.

Also I think that if we are offered £14m for Miereles then we should take it and use it to fund a move for Charlie Adams and use the excess to either up our bid for Scott Dann after Stoke have bid the highest at £12m OR put it towards a transfer for Gary Cahill who we should be able to get for £17m.

Ed please correct me on any of these rumours if you think I am wrong.

Harry The Red {Ed001's Note - only Marveaux and Henderson seem even close to true. We don't need to sell to raise cash to buy Adam.}

--------------------------------------------------

I didnt mean use the money to fund Adam I meant to put towards buying him because Miereles will become surplus to requirments. I know that we have said we have around £75m to spend.
Kenny has probably allocated his budget to certain players and I was stating that he could use the money from Miereles to, for example, added 1 or 2 million to the adam bid and 2 million to the Dann bid ect instead of dipping into the kitty he has that is already going towards other players

(14)





17 Jun 2011 14:49:15
Can someone clear up a few things for me please? What is happening with Adam's move. last week it was on every web site that the deal is very close to being done. it seems to be a lot quiter this week. is there a chance the deal has fallen through?
Also Clichy or Enrique? have these deals gone cold, seems very quite again.
We seem to have the same 6 or so names been talked about all the time. Do you think there is a surprise to come?
Just a quick note to Mr Henry... Thanks for bringing the belief back to LFC. Thanks for putting KK back in charge and thanks for the investment in the team so far and hope you can keep it flowing... your the man

Hi Eds,

I was just looking at Macca's page, and some of the posts are responses to other people's questions and comments, but it isn't always clear what he's responding to.

The last post is apparently a confirmation that someone's had a medical. Who is Macca talking about? I'm assuming it's Charlie Adam, but that's just an educated guess.

Sorry if I'm missing something

17 Jun 2011 14:19:44
I have to say i was slightly surprised to hear Raul Meireles' name mentioned as an exit candidate.

Arguably, along with Lucas, he had a pretty successful season in what really was a very disappointing one on the field at least.

He did take awhile to settle down, was played out of position by Hodgson but by the time January came he was starting to look very good. Whether that was because of Dalglish or because he started to adapt who knows.

However when you read between the lines there is enough to suggest why he maybe out of the door. He is 28 and to use the FSG's model of resale to value, he is on the downslope. A year into his contract his amortisation figure has decreased.

He is slightly lightweight in terms of physical aggression (not as bad as Aquilani but a mild form of Aquaism), which maybe one reason why Dalglish didn't pair him with Lucas in the engine room. He doesn't like being played on the right and very often he would be sucked inside. Towards the end of the season, he appeared more than most to run out of steam around the 60 mins mark and he topped the league for the player most subbed through picking up injuries in a match.

There is also this claim from his agent that Meireles has a clause (was this Purslow's thing btw?) that if he was successful (gauge that?) he was entitled to a 'significant' pay rise.

It maybe this last point added with the downslope of re-sale that is the real reason why we maybe looking at getting value for money.

Certainly if no more sales can come in until we start shipping the deadwood out, then looking at players who will get us some money has to be looked.

This, as i have said many times will be the club's hardest target. How do you get rid of such poor players on sky high wages with contract's still many moons from expiring?

I mean any club worth their salt are not going to offer money for El Zhar, Poulsen, Konchesky, Cole, Degen, Insua, Jovanovic, Jones and pay them superstar wages.

It was hilarious to hear Steve McClaren state his priority for next season is to buy a left back, as they haven't got a decent one on the books. I wonder where Paul 'stop picking on my carp son' Konchesky played from Jan onwards?

This is the size of the problem we have, so if we can get £14-15M for Meireles, it maybe more than a footballing decision to let him go.

Collateral Damage i would suspect. Pity as he is a good player and i like him. The game against the manx at Anfield, he was sensational.

Zapata, 24, made the announcement prior to the start of his participation in the Copa America with Colombia.
The centre-back helped Udinese finish fourth in Serie A last season but appears ready to bring his six-year spell at the club to a close in order to move to Anfield. {Ed002's Note - He did not make an "announcement" - he was simply asked in an interview what was happening in the future.}

hi guys, received a text this morning saying that a bid package is being put together for none other than sergio aguero! whether or not he'll come is a completely different matter all together, i personally dont think he'll come because of champs league/tax system etc but the ambition the fenway group are showing is incredible. my source hasnt specified exactly how much the bid is worth but he claims it is between 35-45 million plus add ons. watch this space!

Ed quick question....why are Liverpool not going for Sanchez, he fits the transfer policy and also cost the same as Carroll?

The player doesn't want to join Liverpool at this time unfortunately.}

Thanks Mustifer {Ed009's Note - personally I think there remains a chance, despite the contract. After all it wasn't out of choice that we handed him one. If he does stay his game time will be limited to say the least and I'm sure he knows this.}

17 Jun 2011 13:26:44
{Ed002's Note - Marveaux has been on the cards since last summer and I think a good squad addition. Zapata is a good, solid centre back and would be a good signing if it can happen. I suspect it is some way off. Cassano has some questionable history and after moving to Milan in January I expected he would move to Fiorentina this summer. I will be surprised if he move out of Italy, but you never know.}

Hi ed, was wondering why Cassano would move so quickly after joining Milan? THanks mate

{Ed002's Note - He is not in their long-term plans and there is a massive amount of baggage associated with the player.}

Asked about his future by La FM, he said: "I do not know what to say, I can say that I am very close to Liverpool.

"At the end of the Copa America, we will see what happens with my future.

From what Iv'e been led to believe Kenny wants to keep him, hes a match winner and can change a game in a instance something kenny values highly in a football.

In fairness Ed002 has been saying Marveaux will be a great addition to the squad since Jan I say.. Ed what will he bring to the squad? With, creativity?? Is he better option than lets say Jovanovic or is he a better option that Kuyt the winger??

Corkpoolred {Ed002's Note - He will certainly add more than Jovanovic and he is not one to complain. Kuyt gives a lot to the team simply because of the 100% effort in every game. Marveaux can play across midfield and I think will give creative options that the club don't currently have going forward.}

17 Jun 2011 10:29:33
Hi guys just a update on a few things I've picked up.

Jay Bothroyd - Absolute nonsense take no notice.

Antonio Cassano - Again complete and utter nonsense to much of a troublemaker for Kennys liking.

Jon s Guti rrez - Most definitely not a player kenny will be interested in i can 100% assure you.

Juan Mata - From what I've been told his dad is very keen on him to join Liverpool as he believes it's the best place for his son to progress, however if Manchester city fail to sign Alexis Sanchez they will go all out on Juan Mata.

Adam Johnson - We have spoken in depth to Manchester city and kenny himself has spoken to adam, city seem to be prepared to let him come to us but only if they can land Alexis Sanchez or Juan Mata.

Charlie Adam - I completely agree with what that macca guys been saying he is 100% nailed on , he's told karl Oyston he wants to come to Liverpool, Karl Oyston promised him in January he would not stop him but to hold it out until the summer to try and keep Blackpool up , now he didnt get his own way it looks like he's gonig to make this drag on for a while.

Scott Dann - Wants to move to Liverpool Iv'e heard we are very interested seems as though Stoke and Newcastle are very interested which could hike the price up though.

Jose Enrique - looks as though he will be our left-back around 10-12m.

Thanks.

Phil.

"Liverpool website has stopped all comments to all stories. We are about to unveil somebody today....


Or there could be a problem with the website {Ed002's Note - If there is a player signed today it will be Marveaux and/or Adam.}"

I really hope that it is both, what a great statement of intent that would be. Especially after all the rumours about Blackpool accepting an offer from Tottenham. I think Adam will be an integral part of our success next year, due to his range of passing and ability to find that killer final pass, something which the current Liverpool Line-up lacks.

just heard the news about the nearly deffinate signings of;

Sylvain marveaux
cristian zapata
antonio cassano

Ed's do you know much about these 3? are they even any good for lfc? ive never heard of them {Ed002's Note - Marveaux has been on the cards since last summer and I think a good squad addition. Zapata is a good, solid centre back and would be a good signing if it can happen. I suspect it is some way off. Cassano has some questionable history and after moving to Milan in January I expected he would move to Fiorentina this summer. I will be surprised if he move out of Italy, but you never know.}

Fair comment about Zapata actually ed002. In all fairness, Secret Squirrel called it in May, and said it might be as part of a swap for Aquilani.

Radio City News this morning stating LFC have bid 10m for adam and some sort of movement should be happening today. Then Oysten says THERES NO RUSH TO DO THE DEAL, Whats going on. Ed, Your thoughts on this, Cheers, TJ. {Ed001's Note - Oyston is in no rush because he doesn't really want to spend the money received, it would suit him to do the deal at the last second! It is just a case of getting him to accept what we offer, or Charlie handing in a transfer request and he would have to forego what might be his only chance to get a nest egg as he is unlikely to make another big move. It must be remembered he is only on the same wages at Blackpool that an average League One player gets, so he is not set for life by any means. In fact all the Blackpool players are on just £75 a week during the off season! I can see Oyston hanging on for that transfer request to go in though, he would then be able to pocket a bigger slice of the transfer fee, for Blackpool of course *coughs*.}

Hi Ed, alot of these posts are quite contradicting, and I have come across your comment that Marveux has already has his medical, does that mean he is currently in liverpool? and also, do we know how good this guy is?
please reply ED ? {Ed002's Note - Marveaux was certainly in Liverpool yesterday but I am not sure what the plans are for today. I like the player and I think he would be a good addition to the squad.}

Interesting to hear about Zapater. A player i have rated for 2-3 years now, and after speaking to my source he is as suprised as i was. He was more or less in talks with Bayern but seeing as were reportedly in the driving seat, that will do me! Ive been informed to keep a eye on Scott Sinclair over the coming weeks too.

i love liverpool and dont hate me for saying this. but wouldnt you think offloading meireles is good. like no doubt last season he was great, only janurary wher he got things going with the goal agaisnt everton. like now weve got henderson, adam is probably coming in, shelvey and spearing weve got to get a few out, and henderson or adam, dont have little injuries every2nd wwhere raul has to be taken off, if inter offer 15, i think we will take it.
and the people going out are,
Koncheskey
degan
insua
aqualani
kyriakos
aurellio
ngog
jovanic
cole
poulsen
meireles (maybe)
shelvery loan
i think we could get around 20mill for them, or a bit more, there bad players getting pai 100,000quid a week at anfeild. terrible

Ed why aren't we that interested in Simon Kjaer? He ticks all the boxes bar the British one. He's young, not that expensive, quality, he would link up well with Agger and he's a Liverpool fan. What more could we want? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool cannot be after every player in the world I am afraid. Kjaer wants to return to Italy. If not he will remain in Germany but move clubs. Chances of a move to England are slim.}

morning. i dont know if this is going to be true or not but i was chatting to a few mates of mine last nite. one of them said that lfc have offered cole for bently. iam not saying he is in the know but he always find out stuff like this. he also said that the swans have asked about poulsen and one other player(he didnt know who the other player was) but he said poulsen has said no to joining anyone else and wants to stay at liverpool.

Ok spoke to my mole in italy. There is no offer for zapata however udinese are willing to do business for 15m.

They are only making 3 sales this summer I know 2 are sanchez and inler but the other is still unknown right now.

No bid made and even people within udinese were unaware of any contact from lfc. Could be player looking for more money or a move, or it could be that only the people at the top of udinese pyramid know about this. Or we

Rewflo {Ed002's Note - Pozzo will be out there talking about it if it were a bid. I suspect it is not much more than an enquiry at present. Everything seems to stem from a press question asked of the player by a radio station.}

What is wrong with the new kit? I sit here day after day listening to your bleatings about the traditions and the history of LFC and then you slaughter the club for bringing out a good looking kit which is based on TRADITIONAL and HISTORICAL colours. Another thing ED's is it PC that you are letting people call Sotirios Kyrgiakos The Greek? Were not calling Reina the Spaniard or DC the Frenchman or Henderson the Englishman..It's bordering on racist if you ask me. Thought i'd point it out probably gonna get a whole days worth of abuse on the back of this post anway...Jari_L {Ed002's Note - How can it be racist to refer to someone by their nationality. I have no problem being called "The American". I suspect he is referred to as "The Greek" because folks have trouble spelling his name. If you truly believe that to be racist then it is simply ignorance on your part.}

Nobody, and I mean nobody, to my knowledge, not even a journo, has so much as mentioned buying Zapata. One definite signing we've made is signing back up to The Liverpool Way. No matter how much I love hearing whispers and rumours, you've got to love the fact that behind closed doors, we're stealing a march on our rivala for the players we really want. And please believe me when I say this, I've got a brilliant contact at The Academy and he is as much in the dark about most things as we are. {Ed002's Note - Zapata has had several mentions on these pages, and I would say that there is no evidence of anything other than an enquiry yet.}

RE marveaux is a load of rubbish, he gets knocked of the ball easy dose not have a football brain,
i have not seen him do much tricks but is very quick better off getting sean wright phillips for free at least he has prem experience not that i want him but in my opinion is better
He is a tricky winger with bags of pace his problems are lack of physical presence wich sees him easily out muscled and injurys he also has no defensive side to his game and the rennes fans i know thought he was at times a liability.He is however full of potential and if he can stay fit given time to adapt could be a very good signing although it could take a season like it did with Malouda to his best all in all he is still on another level to wright phillips

Udinese defender reveals Reds offer

Udinese defender Cristian Zapata has revealed that he is close to agreeing a deal with Liverpool.

The Colombia international is rated as one of the best defenders in Serie A and he played a major role in helping them into the UEFA Champions League next season.

He is currently back in South America preparing for the Copa America, but he has revealed that he is in talks about leaving Italy.

The 24-year-old has stated that Liverpool and Bayern Munich have both made moves for his signature, but he admits that he is close to sealing a switch to Anfield.

Asked about his future by La FM, he said: "I do not know what to say, I can say that I am very close to Liverpool.

"At the end of the Copa America, we will see what happens with my future.

I have no idea if there is any truth in this rumour, i've just seen it and copy and pasted it. I personally have never heard of the player, so i have no opinon on what the player is like. Does anyone else out there know anything about this player? Or how true this rumour is? Ed's? Macca? Blair? {Ed002's Note - He is certainly for sale and Liverpool, Inter, Bayern Munich, Valencia and Roma are interested in the Udinese centre back. I don't know if an actual bid has been made.}

Rumour has it (and it's now on the BBC site under gossip) that Jay Bothroyd could be coming to the club on a free. Seems an odd one if true (and that's a big if), but he's very cheap in terms of wages, and has a proven if unspectacular record. It gives us a bit of depth I guess, but it's hardly one to get the pulse racing.

The rumours -

1. Mata is not as close as everyone suspects. There are several targets, only one (or at most 2) of which will sign. The targets include Marveux, Mata, Downing, Adam Johnson amongst others.

2. One big name striker will be coming from abroad. Benzema and Mario Gomez are the two that have been touted the most. Eto'o's proclamation might just make him another option, remains to be seen.

3. If Meireles is offloaded, Honda will come in.

4. Enrique is still the primary target for left back. Vargas is an option, but if he is signed it will be in surplus to another left back signing (probably enrique). If newcastle play too many mindgames with enrique, the transfer may be delayed towards the end of the transfer window. Clichy is a backup option, but only if something goes horribly wrong with enrique.

5. Turan Arda still remains a possibility. Liverpool are interested, however, his ability to be successful in the premier league has been doubted.

6. Scott Dann will probably not be signed. Gary Cahill is the primary target for center back.

One important thing to understand is that FSG will not shy away from signing their targets just because the price is 2-3 million more than they expected, as long as they believe the player is a long term solution for the club.
Also, expect heavy investments in youth in the next three transfer windows (this window, next jan, and next summer), beyond which there will be a transfer embargo of sorts, with money mainly being invested in the stadium.

Remember the name.

"Update on the charlie adam situation, spurs have offered 12.5 mill which has been accepted by blackpool he will be having a medical at spurs come saturday this i'm 90% certain about unless we come in with a higher bid which is very unlikely.

Also to the people saying he wont go to spurs he wants to move to us thats BS, yes he would come to us if he had the chance but he wont reject spurs offer and tell blackpool to wait until we up our bid. He wants a return to the prem league thats all and spurs is by no means a bad club to return with.

RED TROUT. {Ed001's Note - I will check this out tomorrow.}"

So what is the likelihood that this story has some real weight, baring in mind we have had Macca in particular and others saying he's nailed on to join Liverpool? I for one think it would be a mistake to miss out on a player who is worth 10mil for his left footed set pieces alone!

With Zapata looking to be on his way to the club Ed who do you believe will be the clubs next biggest signings and do you think they'll be a success in the prem if they are coming from aboard

I would like to see Adam Johnson come to club think his been one of man city's best players for the last few seasons and with them keen on bringing Sanchez in we could get a good deal for him I would like to see Stewart Downing come to the club Johnson seems more suited to the right side of the midfield and causes more damage on that side. Downing was Villa's standout player last year and he has many years of prem exp unlike some of the players that we are being linked with from aboard he can cross the ball well and can take a good set piece which would add a different dimension making other teams something to to think about if we were to get a free quick within shoot able range with the likes of Downing, Johnson and Gerrard which player would take it. A new left back is need but i'm unsure on who we should or whether the options at the club are better than what is available. we need a a decent back up striker if we are going for English talent then what about Sturridge {Ed002's Note - I don't think Sturridge is on the cards.}

Sylvain Marveaux has not failed his medical. He took it yesterday and passed with flying colours. He put some serious work into getting fit proporly for the new season which is why he never rushed back to play for Rennes last season because he knew he was a Liverpool player. He took it slow and proporly and passed his medical. He will officially be a Liverpool player on 1 July when the transfer window opens.

Just like Phil Jones failed his medical at Man Utd? Yeah right more like s**tter nonesense.

The Doni deal is back on and Marveax has failed his medical according to reports.Jonny Boy6

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 19:17:15
Liverpool will be signing top players this window such as; Johnson- 17 mil
Mata- 21 mil
Zapata- 15 mil
Cissokho- 14 mil
Damn- 10 mil
Marveaux- free
Adam- 10 mil

We will sign top players like we did in Jan. Sell the usual culprits and make about 25 mil. Net spend around 60 mil.

Fear not fellow reds, king Kenny has some tricks up his sleeve.

Yo ed,
Hearing that slyvain marduex has failed his liverpool medical? Ed 002 this morning said he has passed? Whats going on dude?
Jersey shore red {Ed002's Note - I never said that. I said he took his medical yesterday - and he did.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 19:14:16
not reliable but spreading on twitter that marveaux has failed his medical, thought it was just a cough and drop, how he failed that i dont know.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 19:02:12
Marveux failed medical!
Not completely dead but looking unlikely!
I for one am relieved!

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 18:58:38
Ed2 vargas still a target or is Enriqe the main one.What happened to the Celtic left back cant spell his surname sorry, is he a no go.Vargas then the Celtic guy would be my picks.Realistic or not.Jonny Boy {Ed002's Note - A bid was made for Enrique and, if reports are to be believed, interest was shown in many other left backs, including Vargas. I guess time will tell.}

Which players are we currently linked with abroad which have a good chance of coming {Ed002's Note - I can only sugegst you read these pages and digest the extensive discussions. At one extreme Neymar and Sanchez will be joing, at the other perhaps 17 year old twins from Uzbekistan.}

17 Jun 2011 19:24:35
Just read on an Italian website that the Doni move is back on.It was in doubt not because of wages as reported by the press but because of Gala being interested but have now turned there attention to Lazio's keeper.Personal terms only thing that need sorting out .I for one am glad that we are gonna have a quality back up to Reina.Arsenal fans please dont think its a sign that you're gonna try and lure Pepe to ya.Jonny Boy

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 19:23:37
It seems that Marveaux has failed his medical, Do any of the eds know anything about this? Ross {Ed001's Note - I don't, I have been out watching my daughter perform in a play, literally just walked in the door!}

Hi All first time post. ED 002 YOU ARE THE BOSS !!! Leroy Lita has informed me that Liverpool are in a talks with a young chinese boy called TING FUNG LAI. Aged 13, already playing for the CHINA u18 s. This lad is supposed to be the next Dalglish. A big kid for his age group 5 9 speed of a sprinter but ball skills of Messi. A figure of 2 million to his parent club agreed. Watch for the name.

Hi Ed,

You dont have to post this, but just thought I would let you know a little info I was told today but is probably not that significant.

I met up with an old mate of mine today who I used to be very good friends with, he was telling me he got a job with some connection with Karl Oyston about a month ago as he has some family connection with Karl and goes out shooting with him. He told me he was having a beer with Karl at my mates house in Kirby Lonsdale last night, I asked him if he had any info on Charlie Adam, he said Karl was not happy about the subject and said he was going to refuse to sell him to anybody!!! lol My mate said he was not in a very good mood and said Karl was adamant he was not going to sell him.

I trust the info 100%, but think maybe Karl was angry and being a stubborn b*stard lol

Anyway i know its not great info but will let you know anything else I can find out soon.

Cheers Ed,

RedChris

Macca,
Like all us fans, do you not feel underwhelmed by our transfer targets?

Don't get me wrong, the likes of Adam and Downing are decent quality premier league players but are they top class and the sort of players to shoot us into the top 4 and would they be mainstays in the other top teams in England or Europe?

I know Comolli said our preference of Prem league players over foreign, but who would you prefer, Mata or Downing for example.

Suarez excites whereas the likes of Henderson and Carroll dont excite me.

Macca, what do you think is driving our transfer policy, because it seems that we may be paying over the odds for our choices?

17 Jun 2011 18:24:59
posted over a month ago about our interest in Zapata of Udinese. I stated at that time that we were exploring the possibilty of a swap deal involving Aquilani.
And I see today, news has finally come out about him being close to signing for us, I can't confirm wether of not Aquilani will be involved in the deal, as I havent had any details about the finer details of the transfer.
But I will say, the persons that tipped me off about Zapata, also stated we were pulling out all the stops to try and sign Cavani from Napoli. This is a very complicated deal, as Napoli will only take full ownership of the Uruguayan on 1st July, and there seems to be a very strong possibilty that he will then move to Anfield almost immediately.
Im no expert, and am not even sure such a move is allowed, but if/when this happens, please remember who told you first.

was'nt cavani valued at £85m?

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 18:19:57
Hi Eds!
Two questions.
I hear Roma have put in a bid for Clichy, do u think LFC will return with an improved offer?
& Have Spurs made a bid for Charlie Adam?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - I had thought that Menez would go in part exchange but he is being courted by PSG. I have no feeling right now what will happen at left back.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 18:19:56
Liverpool will flex their muscles with Comolli keen to bring Aaron Lennon to Anfield with Joe Cole going the opposite way. Comolli was a prime figure in bringing Lennon to white hart lane and Redknapp is still believed to be a keen admirerer of Coles ability. Comolli is also interested in lodging a £16.5 mil bid for Borussia Dortmund front man Lucas Barrios. Discussions between the two clubs have come to a stand still with Dortmund holding out for nearer to £20 mil for their prize asset.

More news to come.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 18:18:47
Hi eds who is the clown claiming we are after bentley and that he is worth £14 million and £75k a week, I nearly spat my coffee out when I read that, only serious rumours or if you are really in the know don't post things for the sake of it, it spoils the read for everyone. Eds on a serious note any more news on Adam thought he was supposed to sign today or is that oyston twonk still playing silly buggers.

Lee YNWA {Ed002's Note - I suspect folks are woeeying too much about teh timing of deals. I am am sure everything is in hand.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 18:15:54
hi eds ! is any there any chance of signing philippe coutinho ? {Ed002's Note - Inter have offered to loan Coutinho to Bologna as part of the Gaston Ramirez deal, but Roma may scupper the Ramirez deal. I don't think they want to sell but suspect they will listen to offers. So a chance.}

17 Jun 2011 18:07:15
According to Barrios' agent, he prefers a move to the Liverpool and team up with fellow south american striker Suarez. At the moment both clubs are still undecided on the fee which is believed to be between £15mil - £20mil.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 18:04:25
Right i am ready to be abused, i got the day wrong..

He will sign though....( Adam)

Cheers

Macca

Also i want to clarify my position on the signing of people from outside the prem, we will sign our targets (prem based) regardless of selling any players..

Once they start to get others of the wage bill they will look at young players from wherever in the world with a resale value..

We do not need to sell to buy..

Just going for a few pints so will try and respond to the banter later..

Cheers

Macca

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 18:02:48
according to rumours in france, sylvain marveaux failed his medical and liverpool are unwilling to take the risk of signing him

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 18:01:38
gago... the argentine lad. his agent has said that he would welcome a move to liverpool if he leave's real madrid. he was linked with villa as well but would prefer liverpool... if you ask me definitely a deal we should go for if he wants it....
also whats happening with n'zogbia... cos for his skill mata can go to hell in my opinion n'zogbia is a top player and we'd be damn lucky to come here and these rumours about mata if we get him great but lets be honest he'll want champions league cos he's of that class but i think we'll get champions league this season ...

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 18:01:28
Hey Ed! What are the Chances of Adam Johnson and Lucas (Sao Paulo) signing for us? These two would take us the the next level! {Ed002's Note - Johnson perhaps, Lucas no.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 18:00:41
liverpool have had a 9.5million pound bid accepted by blackpool for adam. liverpool is adams prefered place rather than united were he will not be assured of a starting 11.

17 Jun 2011 17:58:25
Hi Ed back in january I posted a list of players I thought we should target on that list were Lucas Barrios and Dejan Lovren at the time you said you thought these two were very unlikely. I see their names being mentioned more often lately do you think things have changed or do you still see them as not realistic
Thanks

Chris in Tamworth {Ed002's Note - They are possible but not particularly likely right now.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 17:58:14
Liverpool just signed marveaux for free i am 100% sure cannot wait to see him in the EPL.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 17:35:44
Hi everyone.

DC has been talking to Barrios and Johnson's reps over a possible move. I can confirm we are very interested in them, aswell as them being interested in us. Talks have been positive.

Downing is getting closer, now that McLeish has been installed as AVFC's new manager. Mata is also a possibility, and talks have been positive with his dad (his agent). Though talks with the player are stalled until after the U-21's. His dad sees LFC as the ideal place to go on and further his career.

Zapata, Cahill, Sakho, Dann, Lovren are targets for CB. Baines, Cissokho, Enrique, Clichy are targets for LB.

Adam is waiting on a call from his agent to tell him to go to Melwood for a medical. Oyston being the t**t that he is, is waiting for MUFC to come in for a bid, when they dont even want him, he is hanging on to the call MUFC made in Jan, saying they were gonna make a bid. THFC trying to hijack the deal but Adam wants the LFC move.

Cheers.

Tommo

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 17:27:56
Ed what do you think are the chances that some LFC fans will grow up and stop throwing their dummy out the pram over a strip of blue in a kit? {Ed009's Note - that's got to be the least likely rumour I've ever read on here. Can we have the comparitively nailed on Kun Aguero ones back ;).}

David Bentley has emerged as a transfer target for Damien Comolli, and a bid of around £14m should secure his services. Comolli is known to be a huge admirer and will offer Bentley £75k a week to join the merseysiders. A deal should be completed early next month.

is this guy having a laff.... £14m for a reserve player I think not. Adam played all the prem season and is being bought for around £9-12mil come get off the weed mate.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 17:01:03

I looks like champions league and the EPL will not be a major setback in the decision for Juan Mata to sign with us, with the decision and success David Silva has had in the EPL

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 16:37:37
A Johnson is to meet with comolli in Manchester tommorrow, with liverpool prepared to offer 20m for his services. Johnson is said to be eager as he believes liverpool are going to be a big force in the coming seasons and he believes he can be a big part of it. Also he will play almost every game at left wing.

How are all the ed's today?

Seems like i have missed all the blonde irish drama! Poor Adam got slated, bless the lad take it on the chin! A new name in the frame today could be Khouma Babacar of Fiorentina, as we look to miss out on Muniain. Comolli and Dalglish want a young understudy for Carroll and Suarez and have shortlisted Babacar as a viable option. He would be less than half Muniains transfer cost as Babacar is rated £11m. You may not have heard much about this one but what are your thoughts on the player?

Adzii {Ed009's Note - I think the player has a lot of potential, but I don't know of interest from LFC at the minute. I'm good thanks, and the other Ed's are their charming selves as well! I hope we can move on from Adam's comments too. There was no malicious intent involved and he is never aggressive to anywhere on here unlike the small number of others.}

As im a regular poster i know the site is credible and fun! Glad we can get back to transfer talk, oh another thing Ed's, you probably not heard anythign about this one either but Sanchez, Aguero, Contreao, David Villa and Neymar all to sign... ;) Haha GENUINE!

Adzii {Ed002's Note - I suspect zip chance of Khouma Babacar moving to Liverpool this summer.}

We have the money there to complete deals regardless of outgoings.}

Sylvain Marveaux set to have medical going to be a free transfer should be done mid next week

I'd like to make a ppublic apology. I didn't mean to be insulting to blondes or Irish people. It was a light hearted joke. I happen to be part Irish and I am related to multiple blondes. I did state it was a joke immediately after on the same post. I even put a wink face to show it wasn't serious. I'm certainly not a racist p**lk. I think thts pretty harsh. Its called Liverpool banter... Go onto jokes of the day and i'm sure you'll find much worse...
Anyway, Sorry fellow posters, and sorry Eds.
Please post in rumours for all to see. I donm't want my name tarnished over this :'(

Ed who do you think is favourite to sign Honda? I think it's pretty clear he is leavin Russia! {Ed009's Note - I'm not entirely sure.

Liverpool are apparently considering offering Jay Bothroyd a contract after he left Cardiff at the end of the season.

Sylvan Marveux is set to be unvieled either today or tomorrow as our newest signing.

Liverpool are still thought to be leading the chase to sign Antonio Cassano although no bid has been made for the striker who is thought to be available for around £10m.

Henderson could make his debut on the first day of the season to former club Sunderland.

Also I think that if we are offered £14m for Miereles then we should take it and use it to fund a move for Charlie Adams and use the excess to either up our bid for Scott Dann after Stoke have bid the highest at £12m OR put it towards a transfer for Gary Cahill who we should be able to get for £17m.

Ed please correct me on any of these rumours if you think I am wrong.

Harry The Red {Ed001's Note - only Marveaux and Henderson seem even close to true. We don't need to sell to raise cash to buy Adam.}

--------------------------------------------------

I didnt mean use the money to fund Adam I meant to put towards buying him because Miereles will become surplus to requirments. I know that we have said we have around £75m to spend.
Kenny has probably allocated his budget to certain players and I was stating that he could use the money from Miereles to, for example, added 1 or 2 million to the adam bid and 2 million to the Dann bid ect instead of dipping into the kitty he has that is already going towards other players

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 14:49:15
Can someone clear up a few things for me please? What is happening with Adam's move. last week it was on every web site that the deal is very close to being done. it seems to be a lot quiter this week. is there a chance the deal has fallen through?
Also Clichy or Enrique? have these deals gone cold, seems very quite again.
We seem to have the same 6 or so names been talked about all the time. Do you think there is a surprise to come?
Just a quick note to Mr Henry... Thanks for bringing the belief back to LFC. Thanks for putting KK back in charge and thanks for the investment in the team so far and hope you can keep it flowing... your the man

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 14:54:57

Liverpool target Jeremy Toulalan has signed for ambitious spanish outfit Malaga..

P.s Ed's have you ever thought about making a football rumour app for iphone? it would be amazing. {Ed009's Note - I think it would be a great idea too, but I don't believe it is in the pipeline any time soon. I'll work on the others...}

Hi Eds,

I was just looking at Macca's page, and some of the posts are responses to other people's questions and comments, but it isn't always clear what he's responding to.

The last post is apparently a confirmation that someone's had a medical. Who is Macca talking about? I'm assuming it's Charlie Adam, but that's just an educated guess.

Sorry if I'm missing something

Brian
YNWA {Ed002's Note - It will, I assume, be Sylvain Marveaux.}

I have to say i was slightly surprised to hear Raul Meireles' name mentioned as an exit candidate.

Arguably, along with Lucas, he had a pretty successful season in what really was a very disappointing one on the field at least.

He did take awhile to settle down, was played out of position by Hodgson but by the time January came he was starting to look very good. Whether that was because of Dalglish or because he started to adapt who knows.

However when you read between the lines there is enough to suggest why he maybe out of the door. He is 28 and to use the FSG's model of resale to value, he is on the downslope. A year into his contract his amortisation figure has decreased.

He is slightly lightweight in terms of physical aggression (not as bad as Aquilani but a mild form of Aquaism), which maybe one reason why Dalglish didn't pair him with Lucas in the engine room. He doesn't like being played on the right and very often he would be sucked inside. Towards the end of the season, he appeared more than most to run out of steam around the 60 mins mark and he topped the league for the player most subbed through picking up injuries in a match.

There is also this claim from his agent that Meireles has a clause (was this Purslow's thing btw?) that if he was successful (gauge that?) he was entitled to a 'significant' pay rise.

It maybe this last point added with the downslope of re-sale that is the real reason why we maybe looking at getting value for money.

Certainly if no more sales can come in until we start shipping the deadwood out, then looking at players who will get us some money has to be looked.

This, as i have said many times will be the club's hardest target. How do you get rid of such poor players on sky high wages with contract's still many moons from expiring?

I mean any club worth their salt are not going to offer money for El Zhar, Poulsen, Konchesky, Cole, Degen, Insua, Jovanovic, Jones and pay them superstar wages.

It was hilarious to hear Steve McClaren state his priority for next season is to buy a left back, as they haven't got a decent one on the books. I wonder where Paul 'stop picking on my carp son' Konchesky played from Jan onwards?

This is the size of the problem we have, so if we can get £14-15M for Meireles, it maybe more than a footballing decision to let him go.

Collateral Damage i would suspect. Pity as he is a good player and i like him. The game against the manx at Anfield, he was sensational.

Zapata, 24, made the announcement prior to the start of his participation in the Copa America with Colombia.
The centre-back helped Udinese finish fourth in Serie A last season but appears ready to bring his six-year spell at the club to a close in order to move to Anfield. {Ed002's Note - He did not make an "announcement" - he was simply asked in an interview what was happening in the future.}

17 Jun 2011 13:50:53
hi guys, received a text this morning saying that a bid package is being put together for none other than sergio aguero! whether or not he'll come is a completely different matter all together, i personally dont think he'll come because of champs league/tax system etc but the ambition the fenway group are showing is incredible. my source hasnt specified exactly how much the bid is worth but he claims it is between 35-45 million plus add ons. watch this space!

Ed quick question....why are Liverpool not going for Sanchez, he fits the transfer policy and also cost the same as Carroll? Was just wondering {Ed009's Note - the price is not the issue, although in the end I imagine he will cost more than Carroll did. The player doesn't want to join Liverpool at this time unfortunately.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 13:42:56
Athletico Madrid have announced that they are open to offers for the services of Kun Ageuro until the 4th July, a price tag of 45 million euros has been put on the players head. {Ed009's Note - I'm truly loathe to post this.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 13:28:52
Ed will soto move on
hope not he is a legend and a beast Also my role model ;)

Thanks Mustifer {Ed009's Note - personally I think there remains a chance, despite the contract. After all it wasn't out of choice that we handed him one. If he does stay his game time will be limited to say the least and I'm sure he knows this.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 13:26:44
{Ed002's Note - Marveaux has been on the cards since last summer and I think a good squad addition. Zapata is a good, solid centre back and would be a good signing if it can happen. I suspect it is some way off. Cassano has some questionable history and after moving to Milan in January I expected he would move to Fiorentina this summer. I will be surprised if he move out of Italy, but you never know.}

Hi ed, was wondering why Cassano would move so quickly after joining Milan? THanks mate

{Ed002's Note - He is not in their long-term plans and there is a massive amount of baggage associated with the player.}

Oh, OK thanks, but why did they buy him in the first place?

Philip

{Ed002's Note - He was very cheap.}

Hey eds any truth in Barrios to lfc .And anything in Honda Zapata and Ganso.I like these players Irate them high.Cheers. {Ed002's Note - Barrios seems unlikely. The has been an enquiry about Zapata, I have heard nothing firm about Honda aside from the players wishes and Ganso is a non starter.}

17 Jun 2011 12:10:41
hi eds

any news or further interest being shown in james mccarthy that anyone has heard of ?

Also to macca dont listen to the kids that are giving you grief the real fans of this site and of you understand that players and clubs can change their minds, information is always subject to change until club and player have signed on the dotted line. dont respond to the doubters they are not worth it keep up all the good work that goes for all the eds as well

irishkopite {Ed001's Note - nothing new regarding McCarthy, Wigan were looking for something like 18m for him I heard, so we might just have backed out because of that.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 12:04:20
Ben smith of the times reports that marveaux is all but done and that downing will be the next to sign. Dont know how reliable he is but he also said that adam is moving closer but still isn't complete. Make of it what you will.

Ian the red

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 12:22:51
macca dont know what he is on about how can we not be looking for people outside the prem when we've practically signed marveaux and himself saying we are after connor wickham and dann?

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 12:22:12
Just to let everyone know, soto's contract extension was due to a clause in his contract which was if he played a enough games he got a new 1 year deal! Still expect him to move on!

Nobody, and I mean nobody, to my knowledge, not even a journo, has so much as mentioned buying Zapata

------------------------------------------------

Except that is Cristian Zapata himself who says he is close to joining Liverpool.

17 Jun 2011 11:37:36
Liverpool are apparently considering offering Jay Bothroyd a contract after he left Cardiff at the end of the season.

Sylvan Marveux is set to be unvieled either today or tomorrow as our newest signing.

Liverpool are still thought to be leading the chase to sign Antonio Cassano although no bid has been made for the striker who is thought to be available for around £10m.

Henderson could make his debut on the first day of the season to former club Sunderland.

Also I think that if we are offered £14m for Miereles then we should take it and use it to fund a move for Charlie Adams and use the excess to either up our bid for Scott Dann after Stoke have bid the highest at £12m OR put it towards a transfer for Gary Cahill who we should be able to get for £17m.

Ed please correct me on any of these rumours if you think I am wrong.

Harry The Red {Ed001's Note - only Marveaux and Henderson seem even close to true. We don't need to sell to raise cash to buy Adam.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 11:35:06
Any milegae in the Luca Barrios rumours? Career stas of 100 goals in 135 apperances sounds impressive but could he do it in the EPL?

From what iv'e been told we required about him in January and they said they had no intentions off selling him and they have reiterated it again.

Thanks.

Phil.

17 Jun 2011 11:27:23
KOPSOURCE, LFC, Could turn there attentoins to A Johnson if they cant get Downing, Stumbling block, Mancini selling to a rival, the Fee.. 17m-20m reportedly he wants to leave. would be a great buy, Young, English, great player, Should have bought him when he was at Boro. Him or Downing..... I know who id choose....TJ.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 11:23:51
Eds,

Do you know if there's any development on the Scott Dann situation? I'm hearing a lot more about Stoke/McLeish/Arsenal's interest than ours, is that just Sky Sports taking us off the boil? {Ed002's Note - There is nothing new to report.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 11:16:47
Zapata has said he is close to joining Liverpool, full article on ss.com. Good signing Eds? And so much for we are only looking at English based players.

Asked about his future by La FM, he said: "I do not know what to say, I can say that I am very close to Liverpool.

"At the end of the Copa America, we will see what happens with my future.

"I have gained experience, but the time has come for me to make the jump to a big team."

that is all I know

17 Jun 2011 11:12:47
Hey Ed's. You said earlier that if someones is about to be reveiled today it's probably Sylvain Marveaux and or Charlie Adam. I was just wondering is it possible to unveil Marveaux already with the international transfer window opening the 1st of July? Would appreciate an answer. Great work by the way. Cheers. {Ed002's Note - It would be subject to the processing of teh paperwork once he becomes a free agent.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 11:12:10
checked all kinds of german news. nothing about barrios to us there, i doubt he would leave his beloved dortmund now when they have everything...

Liverpool centre-back Sotirios Kyrgiakos is set to extend his stay at Anfield for a further 12 months.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:34:07
Sorry forgot to mention Raul Meireles.

From what Iv'e been led to believe Kenny wants to keep him, hes a match winner and can change a game in a instance something kenny values highly in a football.
Only a stupid offer of 15-20m could tempt us but he's certainly not up for sale.

Thanks.

Phil.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:30:53
In fairness Ed002 has been saying Marveaux will be a great addition to the squad since Jan I say.. Ed what will he bring to the squad? With, creativity?? Is he better option than lets say Jovanovic or is he a better option that Kuyt the winger??

Corkpoolred {Ed002's Note - He will certainly add more than Jovanovic and he is not one to complain. Kuyt gives a lot to the team simply because of the 100% effort in every game. Marveaux can play across midfield and I think will give creative options that the club don't currently have going forward.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:29:33
Hi guys just a update on a few things I've picked up.

Jay Bothroyd - Absolute nonsense take no notice.

Antonio Cassano - Again complete and utter nonsense to much of a troublemaker for Kennys liking.

Jon s Guti rrez - Most definitely not a player kenny will be interested in i can 100% assure you.

Juan Mata - From what I've been told his dad is very keen on him to join Liverpool as he believes it's the best place for his son to progress, however if Manchester city fail to sign Alexis Sanchez they will go all out on Juan Mata.

Adam Johnson - We have spoken in depth to Manchester city and kenny himself has spoken to adam, city seem to be prepared to let him come to us but only if they can land Alexis Sanchez or Juan Mata.

Charlie Adam - I completely agree with what that macca guys been saying he is 100% nailed on , he's told karl Oyston he wants to come to Liverpool, Karl Oyston promised him in January he would not stop him but to hold it out until the summer to try and keep Blackpool up , now he didnt get his own way it looks like he's gonig to make this drag on for a while.

Scott Dann - Wants to move to Liverpool Iv'e heard we are very interested seems as though Stoke and Newcastle are very interested which could hike the price up though.

Jose Enrique - looks as though he will be our left-back around 10-12m.

Thanks.

Phil.

hope zapata rumours are true quaility defender

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:25:11
edd do you think mereles will leave hes been quality and playing out of position. i cant see him leaving but if he leaves because of henderson and adam then theres something wrong! {Ed002's Note - I expect him to leave.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:22:38
Barrios deal is gathering pace. LFC have officially made contact with Dortmund at 6pm yesterday. DC will offer £15mil upfront with £3mil in add ons depending on apperances and goals scored.

liverpool to move for downing once this is completed

"Liverpool website has stopped all comments to all stories. We are about to unveil somebody today....


Or there could be a problem with the website {Ed002's Note - If there is a player signed today it will be Marveaux and/or Adam.}"

I really hope that it is both, what a great statement of intent that would be. Especially after all the rumours about Blackpool accepting an offer from Tottenham. I think Adam will be an integral part of our success next year, due to his range of passing and ability to find that killer final pass, something which the current Liverpool Line-up lacks.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 09:59:30
just heard the news about the nearly deffinate signings of;

Sylvain marveaux
cristian zapata
antonio cassano

Ed's do you know much about these 3? are they even any good for lfc? ive never heard of them {Ed002's Note - Marveaux has been on the cards since last summer and I think a good squad addition. Zapata is a good, solid centre back and would be a good signing if it can happen. I suspect it is some way off. Cassano has some questionable history and after moving to Milan in January I expected he would move to Fiorentina this summer. I will be surprised if he move out of Italy, but you never know.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:03:42
Ed has Charlie Adam come to Melwood yet ? If not any idea when ? cheers, {Ed001's Note - no, we have yet to agree a deal with Blackpool.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:03:19
liverpool are showing interest in stankovic, whether they will get him or not i dont know, sayimng that most clubs probably want him

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:01:03
Fair comment about Zapata actually ed002. In all fairness, Secret Squirrel called it in May, and said it might be as part of a swap for Aquilani.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 09:56:52
Radio City News this morning stating LFC have bid 10m for adam and some sort of movement should be happening today. Then Oysten says THERES NO RUSH TO DO THE DEAL, Whats going on. Ed, Your thoughts on this, Cheers, TJ. {Ed001's Note - Oyston is in no rush because he doesn't really want to spend the money received, it would suit him to do the deal at the last second! It is just a case of getting him to accept what we offer, or Charlie handing in a transfer request and he would have to forego what might be his only chance to get a nest egg as he is unlikely to make another big move. It must be remembered he is only on the same wages at Blackpool that an average League One player gets, so he is not set for life by any means. In fact all the Blackpool players are on just £75 a week during the off season! I can see Oyston hanging on for that transfer request to go in though, he would then be able to pocket a bigger slice of the transfer fee, for Blackpool of course *coughs*.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:18:28
Hi Ed, alot of these posts are quite contradicting, and I have come across your comment that Marveux has already has his medical, does that mean he is currently in liverpool? and also, do we know how good this guy is?
please reply ED ? {Ed002's Note - Marveaux was certainly in Liverpool yesterday but I am not sure what the plans are for today. I like the player and I think he would be a good addition to the squad.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:15:26
Interesting to hear about Zapater. A player i have rated for 2-3 years now, and after speaking to my source he is as suprised as i was. He was more or less in talks with Bayern but seeing as were reportedly in the driving seat, that will do me! Ive been informed to keep a eye on Scott Sinclair over the coming weeks too.

Adzii

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 10:14:05
i love liverpool and dont hate me for saying this. but wouldnt you think offloading meireles is good. like no doubt last season he was great, only janurary wher he got things going with the goal agaisnt everton. like now weve got henderson, adam is probably coming in, shelvey and spearing weve got to get a few out, and henderson or adam, dont have little injuries every2nd wwhere raul has to be taken off, if inter offer 15, i think we will take it.
and the people going out are,
Koncheskey
degan
insua
aqualani
kyriakos
aurellio
ngog
jovanic
cole
poulsen
meireles (maybe)
shelvery loan
i think we could get around 20mill for them, or a bit more, there bad players getting pai 100,000quid a week at anfeild. terrible

Ed why aren't we that interested in Simon Kjaer? He ticks all the boxes bar the British one. He's young, not that expensive, quality, he would link up well with Agger and he's a Liverpool fan. What more could we want? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool cannot be after every player in the world I am afraid. Kjaer wants to return to Italy. If not he will remain in Germany but move clubs. Chances of a move to England are slim.}

morning. i dont know if this is going to be true or not but i was chatting to a few mates of mine last nite. one of them said that lfc have offered cole for bently. iam not saying he is in the know but he always find out stuff like this. he also said that the swans have asked about poulsen and one other player(he didnt know who the other player was) but he said poulsen has said no to joining anyone else and wants to stay at liverpool.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 09:48:19
Ok spoke to my mole in italy. There is no offer for zapata however udinese are willing to do business for 15m.

They are only making 3 sales this summer I know 2 are sanchez and inler but the other is still unknown right now.

No bid made and even people within udinese were unaware of any contact from lfc. Could be player looking for more money or a move, or it could be that only the people at the top of udinese pyramid know about this. Or we

Rewflo {Ed002's Note - Pozzo will be out there talking about it if it were a bid. I suspect it is not much more than an enquiry at present. Everything seems to stem from a press question asked of the player by a radio station.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 09:43:52
What is wrong with the new kit? I sit here day after day listening to your bleatings about the traditions and the history of LFC and then you slaughter the club for bringing out a good looking kit which is based on TRADITIONAL and HISTORICAL colours. Another thing ED's is it PC that you are letting people call Sotirios Kyrgiakos The Greek? Were not calling Reina the Spaniard or DC the Frenchman or Henderson the Englishman..It's bordering on racist if you ask me. Thought i'd point it out probably gonna get a whole days worth of abuse on the back of this post anway...Jari_L {Ed002's Note - How can it be racist to refer to someone by their nationality. I have no problem being called "The American". I suspect he is referred to as "The Greek" because folks have trouble spelling his name. If you truly believe that to be racist then it is simply ignorance on your part.}

Nobody, and I mean nobody, to my knowledge, not even a journo, has so much as mentioned buying Zapata. One definite signing we've made is signing back up to The Liverpool Way. No matter how much I love hearing whispers and rumours, you've got to love the fact that behind closed doors, we're stealing a march on our rivala for the players we really want. And please believe me when I say this, I've got a brilliant contact at The Academy and he is as much in the dark about most things as we are. {Ed002's Note - Zapata has had several mentions on these pages, and I would say that there is no evidence of anything other than an enquiry yet.}

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 09:00:45
not a rumour, but a fact, marveaux passed medical, unveiled today, tommorrow at the latest

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 08:58:05
Don't believe all the stories about zapata just yet. I have a good contact at udinese and she never mentioned any contact from lfc a couple of days ago. Will check this with her, if we are signing him don't expect it to be cheap. They are shrewd businessmen down there.

ED,
I dont know how true this is, I just copied it off ESPN Soccernet:

The Guardian: Liverpool have moved closer to signing Sylvain Marveaux on a free transfer after the French midfielder underwent a medical on Merseyside.

Could you confirm if he actually underwent medicals?

Anfield Faithful. {Ed002's Note - Yes he has had a medical.}

Zapata to Liverpool is a done deal!! Will be unveiled as a Liverpool player after 'Copa America' and also LFC has already made a move for Mata. This will be cleared after the Euro U21 and hopefully Mata will be a Liverpool player by next month.

RE marveaux is a load of rubbish, he gets knocked of the ball easy dose not have a football brain,
i have not seen him do much tricks but is very quick better off getting sean wright phillips for free at least he has prem experience not that i want him but in my opinion is better
He is a tricky winger with bags of pace his problems are lack of physical presence wich sees him easily out muscled and injurys he also has no defensive side to his game and the rennes fans i know thought he was at times a liability.He is however full of potential and if he can stay fit given time to adapt could be a very good signing although it could take a season like it did with Malouda to his best all in all he is still on another level to wright phillips

Udinese defender reveals Reds offer

Udinese defender Cristian Zapata has revealed that he is close to agreeing a deal with Liverpool.

The Colombia international is rated as one of the best defenders in Serie A and he played a major role in helping them into the UEFA Champions League next season.

He is currently back in South America preparing for the Copa America, but he has revealed that he is in talks about leaving Italy.

The 24-year-old has stated that Liverpool and Bayern Munich have both made moves for his signature, but he admits that he is close to sealing a switch to Anfield.

Asked about his future by La FM, he said: "I do not know what to say, I can say that I am very close to Liverpool.

"At the end of the Copa America, we will see what happens with my future.

I have no idea if there is any truth in this rumour, i've just seen it and copy and pasted it. I personally have never heard of the player, so i have no opinon on what the player is like. Does anyone else out there know anything about this player? Or how true this rumour is? Ed's? Macca? Blair? {Ed002's Note - He is certainly for sale and Liverpool, Inter, Bayern Munich, Valencia and Roma are interested in the Udinese centre back. I don't know if an actual bid has been made.}

I just got a message on skype from a friend that works in Udine (I live 2 hours drive from there, in Croatia), he says Liverpool tabled a bid for Zapata. I didn't believe him at first, but then I saw breaking news on SSN saying the same. Ed, do you have any info on this? {Ed002{Ed002's Note - He is certainly for sale and Liverpool, Inter, Bayern Munich, Valencia and Roma are interested in the Udinese centre back. I don't know if an actual bid has been made.}

Sky Sports are reporting that Liverpool are on the verge of signing Cristian Zapata from Udinese. Have you heard about this Ed?

Ed's

Do you know if we still have any interest in Sakho and Papadopolous.?


I know we were looking @ Papa but all seems to have died down?

REDFORLIFE {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any interest in Papodopoulos and Sakho, if he moves to England, may well become an Arsenal player.}

Rumour has it (and it's now on the BBC site under gossip) that Jay Bothroyd could be coming to the club on a free. Seems an odd one if true (and that's a big if), but he's very cheap in terms of wages, and has a proven if unspectacular record. It gives us a bit of depth I guess, but it's hardly one to get the pulse racing.

Marca states "Liverpool open talks with Fernando Gago after Real Madrid accept 11.5m bid"
Not sure whether it is in Euro's or Pounds though

****************************************
It simply says that the Daily Star has reported LFC are interested in Gago and WILLING to buy him for £10m. They also add the Star reports that we have met with his agent Marcelo Lombilla. Nothing more ;)

The rumours -

1. Mata is not as close as everyone suspects. There are several targets, only one (or at most 2) of which will sign. The targets include Marveux, Mata, Downing, Adam Johnson amongst others.

2. One big name striker will be coming from abroad. Benzema and Mario Gomez are the two that have been touted the most. Eto'o's proclamation might just make him another option, remains to be seen.

3. If Meireles is offloaded, Honda will come in.

4. Enrique is still the primary target for left back. Vargas is an option, but if he is signed it will be in surplus to another left back signing (probably enrique). If newcastle play too many mindgames with enrique, the transfer may be delayed towards the end of the transfer window. Clichy is a backup option, but only if something goes horribly wrong with enrique.

5. Turan Arda still remains a possibility. Liverpool are interested, however, his ability to be successful in the premier league has been doubted.

6. Scott Dann will probably not be signed. Gary Cahill is the primary target for center back.

One important thing to understand is that FSG will not shy away from signing their targets just because the price is 2-3 million more than they expected, as long as they believe the player is a long term solution for the club.
Also, expect heavy investments in youth in the next three transfer windows (this window, next jan, and next summer), beyond which there will be a transfer embargo of sorts, with money mainly being invested in the stadium.

Remember the name.

"Update on the charlie adam situation, spurs have offered 12.5 mill which has been accepted by blackpool he will be having a medical at spurs come saturday this i'm 90% certain about unless we come in with a higher bid which is very unlikely.

Also to the people saying he wont go to spurs he wants to move to us thats BS, yes he would come to us if he had the chance but he wont reject spurs offer and tell blackpool to wait until we up our bid. He wants a return to the prem league thats all and spurs is by no means a bad club to return with.

RED TROUT. {Ed001's Note - I will check this out tomorrow.}"

So what is the likelihood that this story has some real weight, baring in mind we have had Macca in particular and others saying he's nailed on to join Liverpool? I for one think it would be a mistake to miss out on a player who is worth 10mil for his left footed set pieces alone!

Tottenham are also in the hunt for Liverpool target Lucas Barrios. They are hoping to get a deal done in the region of £18 mil.

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 04:57:19
Stoke offer £12m for Scott Dann then Ryan Shawcross is possible to move ??

 

 

 

17 Jun 2011 02:52:46
I found out before that we are definitely interested in taking not just Enrique but also Jonas Gutierrez from Newcastle. It's from a very reliable source, and to say the least I'm not overwhelmed. Tentative enquiries only at this stage though.

macca i believe we share the same source regarding ex player's,
yes off loading the crap is essential not in the prospect of adam downing cliche etc. but going back a while benzema honda and turan are definate players that i believe we will be persueing and also gary cahill as i've posted many time's.
like you say things change,
hence the mata situation which i'm 95% satisfied will happen, i've also been informed meireles is surplus and will most likely be heading to spain, also how's sg keeping:)

I know Scott Dann's Girlfriend and he is joining by hopefully end of next week, subject to medical as his ankle & groin been operated on! Not interested in Arsenal as he wants to return to his home town! A fee has been agreed for £8.5m! He also said that Ben Foster will follow Mcleish to Villa!
