Hi. Heard in the week that juve may be preparing a bid for Luis. Anyone heard the same?.

I hear that every week. Aswell as he's not for sale from Liverpool. We'll see how the saga goes. I think he'll stay.

Davey Sulls

Offering £40 million for Luis

Next offer is another £60m for Suarez.

Luis is staying at Chelsea.
Fernandez will keep wearing his mask as zorro in terms of being embarrassed about scoring goals for £200k at a time. Lampard will sign for another season at £250k per game and goal. Mourinhou will return.
Terry is planning to move back into the goal keeping option.

Once he has a new cap he will be able to stop having so much sex with teammates in the squad.

Nope not heard anything. I think its just you dreaming again.
anyway Juve are off to buy Higuian from Real and Jovetic.

Suarez staying at Liverpool

How likely is it to sign Callum Mchmanaham and Scott Sinclair?

Why would anyone want McManaman and Sinclair. Were supposed to be looking forward. Man City made the mistake of signing Sinclair. Not going to lie. He was stupid enough to go and he's just messed up he's career. There both good players but not for Liverpool. If Liverpool did sign them it would stop the progress of likes of Raheem Sterling, Suso etc. So I would hope we don't sign either.

Don't rate Sinclair, no end product, as for McManaman, match of the day fever, he's a mid table player at best

McManaman yes. Sinclair no but we are favourites sadly

Callum Mchmanaham is flavor of the month. I really don't think he would improve LFC enough to be worth it.
I'd be happy with Sinclair if Downing got sold to accommodate him. It's definitely an upgrade in personal. Sell for 8/10M bring in Sinclair for 4/5M. On half the wages, 3/4 years younger, few quid more in the kitty. Makes sense to me anyway. If he was brought in as a squad player alongside Downing, I'd be very underwhelmed.

Ed's, Have we made a bid or even an enquiry about Illori of sporting lisbon? Decent 20 yr old CB + he is born in England.4 mil should be fair deal if he joinsus. {Ed002's Note - I understand there is interest but any suggestion of a bid is wide of the mark.}

afternoon eds, fellow reds, any chance of Fernando Amorebieta, I believe he's available on a bosman this summer. {Ed002's Note - I think it unlikely.}

Pretty sure he has signed for Fulham.

He's signed for fulham

He's off to Fulham

According to IBTimes Kurt Zouma the gifted 18yr defender of St. Etienne is interested in a move to LFC. His manager has said as much.

Hopefully. He will be an amazing talent

Of course he is, who wouldn't be? Doesn't mean he will get a move to Liverpool.

Morning Ed's,
Balague saying Barcelona selling Villa for 12e and Spurs Arsenal and Liverpool are all interested in signing him! Personally I don't think 12e at 30 years of age is a clever buy : (
Any truth in this? no doubt he'd score goals but 12e with potentially no sell on value is a mistake unless i'm missing some intricate part of any deal struck? maybe based on appearances/trophies etc?
Cheers,
Prendergel {Ed002's Note - Spurs are pressing for Villa.}

Villa is finished, his injuries got too him not the same player anylonger. he 32 we be stupid to be interested in him.

Hearing they have done it ed?

I think you are correct in stating his age and the fee. The only thing I can add is that Villas game has never been about speed really but at 31 and injuries creeping in there are far better options out there for that money

Tbh I don't always think it should be about sell on fees and recoupment of money paid out, it should be about what that player can bring to your club in the time you have him. If he adds goals and that brings success, then that's worth the fee.

My worry with someone like Villa is that at the age, would he be able to cut it in the prem? Take Morientes, Shevchenko as a couple of examples, class players, but looked like fish out of water and never recaptured their full performace from previous respective leagues.

That said, Villa is a great player and we could only benefit from having him, but hasn't he had injury niggles in recent seasons? i'd certainly love to see him in our red shirt, but as addition to compliment the likes of Suarez (hopefully not as a replacement) and Sturridge and certainly not at their expense.

Robin van Persie is 30 in two months

How old is Gerrard?

Villa still top quality

None of you are a good businessman.

Are Liverpool a team here to buy and sell players? are we a market?

We need to win the league. Other team have invested 100* to win the league. You buy donkey, you buy the ref whatever just buy the object who can make you win the league. Villa is a player who can have a lethal strike unlike our existing players whose conversion rate is very poor.

He is injury prone is another issue but please don't talk about resell value. Once we are on top we will attract better players and at good rate.

I think we need a striker whose conversion rate is good. We need to kill a match even if we have only 1 or 3 striking opportunities. Too many draws.

@ Arv

There are several points that you have failed to pick up on. Liverpool don't have an endless pot for transfers like others, so as a result need to invest in younger players who have a sell on value.

David Villa, whilst a proven goalscorer, does not represent good value for the limited funds that we have. Injuries would prohibit appearances but the high wages would still have to be paid.

Allied to that, Villa has never shown any desire to play outside Spain before. so would his commitment now be absolute or would he only be here for the cash?

Finally, look at the conversion rates of Sturridge and Suarez this season and then please reconsider the comment that you made about our current players.

I think it might be obvious Arv that JWH will not be putting you in charge of recruiting anytime soon mate.

Robbie's noseband

20 mill for rvp won utd the prem, think he's worth 12. Zen
