i think one of the eds said athletico madrid could be interested in suarez (assuming he leaves) do they reckon oliver torres could be part of any deal? everyone goes on about isco being best young player in la liga, when he leaves (to city or wherever) this kid is the next one everyone will be going on about {Ed002's Note - Manchester City and Santos have made recent enquiries but I don't see interest from Liverpool happening.}

Hey ed002 did you mean Liverpool have no interest or are you implying that you were surprised by Liverpool's interest
Thanks in advance {Ed002's Note - There is none.}

Hi Eds, you guys must have been busy the last few days so would really appreciate you guys answering a question for me? Do you think Son Heung-Min is good enough for LFC and if so who is interested in him? Thanks {Ed002's Note - A number of clubs have been looking at Hamburg's Heung Min Son for the past year. Certainly Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal, Sunderland, Lille and West Ham have had him watched on more than one occasion leading up to the end of last year and Spurs had a bid turned down in January. Since the New Year some interest has been shown by Dortmund, Manchester United, CSKA Moscow and Chelsea, who would ideally look to a deal that sees a player included as part of an offer. Hamburg would like to keep him but I expect him to move in the summer, but a move to Chelsea or Manchester United could see him sat on the bench and that may not be what he wants. Dortmund or Spurs might be the best compromise for him but a recent enquiry from Dortmund has seen a much higher asking price than expected put on the player - so they are looking to negotiate.}

Unless he gets injured in the next few years he will be up there with the best strikers in Europe I think tottenham will snatch him for some reason this summer but he won't be going for no lower than 15m euros now

Ed002- do you think we have a chance of signing Jesus navas form the suarez money? {Ed002's Note - I would see him as far too high risk.}

I'm sure he suffers from extremely bad home sickness, so a move oer here would be doubtful

Apparently he's supposedly come through treatment on his chronic homesickness and could be open to a move away? Either way I would find it unlikely

I love kenny Dalglish, but he passed on the opportunity to sign Jesus navas and Juan mata during his spell. He opted for downing and Henderson, this was partly due to the owners youth and english policy.

Hi eds just a thought with Falcao gone now would athletico be in market for suarez maybe 30 mil an arda turan just a thought many thanks an great site nsr {Ed002's Note - Atletico are one of teh interested clubs and have interest from either Doyen Sports Investments or Quality Sports in being a third party financer. However, they will be less keen to include a player as they are looking to raise cash. Arda looks unlikely as an option as other clubs have spoken with AM about him already.}

30 million plus Ardan Turan is ridiculous.

AM might be justified in valuing Turan the same as Suarez.

Turan might not even want to come to Liverpool

^Turan is worth about £25m, and haha good one he's a massive Liverpool fan and he's regularly made this well known in numerous 'come and get me pleas' over the years.

Who would you rather play for Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid?

Rooney is an Everton fan. good job he stayed with Everton to backup your argument.

Turan will not want to move to LFC unless they were in the CL.

Morning Eds, just wondering where we stand with Aspas and Luis Alberto?
I was told we had completed an £8.6m move for Aspas, which hasn't appeared anywhere as a completed signing, and also I have read, from Ballague, that Luis Alberto was all but done, something else hat has not appeared anywhere? I understand that Alberto is still on loan essentially and therefore cannot be side just yet, just wondering if you could clarify where these transfers stand currently?

Anfield Andy {Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any "done deal" for Aspas as I have previously explained. Barcelona still have an option on Alberto, once that has expired then Liverpool can look to agree a transfer.}

Hi eds, I'd like too hear this from you and not everybody else claiming that they know everything. Is Suarez leaving Liverpool for Madrid this summer, if so how much do you think, and if there is someone in the deal for him, who would it most likely be? Cheer JCRED {Ed002's Note - Pre Ivanovic I thought that perhaps he would stay - but now, with the further incident, the ban and yet again the statements to the press and courting another club - this will be it I would think. The club will now be done with him and will be open to proposals from the various interested clubs. There is every chance Liverpool will offer up a player or two in part exchange but I would doubt any Champions League regulars would be interested in such a deal.}

How about Marcelo as part of the deal?

If we get any player it will probabaly be jose callejon, looks like madrid have no future plans for him, does not regularly start and is a striker, so will probably end up with him if anyone

Why would we 'end up' with Callejon? I've researched him the last few days and he looks a bit cr*p for want of a better word. We don't have to 'end up' with anyone - if RM want Suarez they should stump up the cash or convince one of their better spare players that moving to LFC is a good idea.

suarez should go for 35m and dimaria as abonus player because Liverpool we need afurious player like dimaria yet madrid is willing to him go

He is clearly unhappy at the club and will only bring the club morale down now if he stays. madrid know he wants to leave and they know the owners are abit fed up with him, and that they are probabaly looking to get rid, and therefore they don't have to pay 50+ million, as they know Liverpool will in the end eventually sell, and with the trouble he causes, noone will pay in excess of 50m. tske 40m plus callejon if it is offered, because its the best offer madrid will put on the table. he's clearly unhappy, so let him go. he's causes too much trouble and 40m will buy you a top quality player. why would benzema, higuain, ozil etc move to Liverpool when they are guaranteed 1st/2nd in league and at least champions league quarter finals every single year? maybe you can talk about it again next year if Liverpool manage to get back in the top 4, but at the minurte, forget about it. take the deal

The reason why benzema/higuain/ozil or - my preference - Raphael Varane, may come to Liverpool is if RM essentially forces them.

The reason RM might put such pressure is because if they really want Suarez, they'll need to compete with other suitors such as PSG, Monaco, Bayern, Juventus, Zenit, Anzhi, City, Chelsea (English clubs are worst case scenarios)

To the above poster, why would LFC want the Spanish equivalent of Stewart Downing, Jose Callejon?. Real are taking a starter from our team, we need to take one or two from theirs. It's the law!, LFC don't give aa rats ass how Real convince Benzema or Di Maria, as long as they agree to join LFC. Do you think the drug dealer gives a shyte if the drug is 100% pure b4 selling?. NO, he sells it by just the word of his head tester that it is pure, so the buyer either stumps up the dough or adds a linking of the seller! Long story short, with Suarez we have a bargaining chip to buy ANY attacking player they have bar Ronaldo!. It is Deals job to convince them to join us.

Alot of people seem to think that Liverpool have all the power in this negotiation but they dont. madrid already knew the owners were unhappy, but now they know that the player is unhappy, and that he will try and force a move. because of this, madrid know that Liverpool will probably have to let him go now, just like owen. madrid have the power, as they know, unlike with bale, the owners don't particularly want him to stay, and the player does not want to stay, and are in no way going to be blackmailed into giving us one of there starting players. if they put 30-40m on the table aand noone else bids, then the money will be taken. its all about whether madrid start playing games. they could wait to the last couple of days to make a bid, knowing Liverpool will have to accept whatever there is. the offers from madrid will only get worse as the transfer window goes on, as, just like with owen, Liverpool will eventually crumble and will end up releasing the player for cheaper. they are in no position to trade us some of their top players. maybe wittht the bale situation were the player has not publicly said he wants to leave and it is clear the staff want him to stay, a player may be offered. madrid are in no postion now to be manipulated to hand us some of their starting players. it us with our back to the wall, not madrid. if suarez hadve kept his mouth shut we couldve pushed for 50m plus, but madrid know now he will help them push for a move and that Liverpool will probably have to accept the offer madrid want if there are no better ones being made. take whatevers being offered because the later in the window it gets, the worse the offer will be, and we need to sort the problem out now and get the money spent on replacements instead of letting it drag out the whole summer, ending with suarez leaving for 25m with no replacement brought in

They don't have to sign for Liverpool. Real cannot force their players to leave. On a side note, most of you people should not call yourselves supporters; Suarez has not left. He has not asked for a transfer. He has only said that (a) Real Madrid are difficult to refuse, and (b) that the English media are harassing him. That is it. You should not abuse a current LFC player only because you think he might leave. What purpose does it serve? You can say, "I told you so, " if he does leave? Imagine if Luis saw fans saying they wanted him out, that they've had enough of him. What do you think he would want then? Most certainly to get away from these supposed supporters. Call me naive if you must, but I will support Luis Suarez until the moment he is confirmed to have signed for another club. And even then, I will wish him well. Up to this point, he has done nothing to force a move and he has my respect.

Real's main target's Bale, so don't think we have anything to worry about. Aguero is another top of their list. Barca have bought neymar, city will get cavani, monaco have all but wrapped up falcao. Bayern is looking to lewandoski, psg's main striker target is rooney. Juve effectively got both higuain and Lorente and look like sealing sanchez or jovetic. So I think it's fair to say suarez won't be going, at least for another season. You agree ed2? {Ed002's Note - Not at all - you are miles from being correct - for example, Real Madrid want Bale and Suarez after losing out on Aguero.}

Do Real have the finances to get both Bale and Suarez Ed or are they in a bit of a sell-to-buy situation? Cheers {Ed002's Note - They have other targets, such as Isco, as well and will be selling or exchanging players to try and get business done.}

The best post I have seen on here in ages, well said!, and the usual comic reply from ed 02,

Some stupid LFC fans out there

Suarez wants to leave Liverpool. Go back and read what he has said.

Suarez will leave in the summer for between £25 and £35 million.

Forget Ozil or Benzema or Varnane. Even if RM wanted to release them, those players would not come to Liverpool

You said "we have nothing to worry about", but by the looks of things, the majority of Liverpool fans are happy enough to let him go as he causes so many issues, and the only real question is for how much. still think if we get any player it will be callejon, not benzema, ozil, di maria etc

That was comedy post of the day. do guys actually listen to the Ed's?

Suarez is all but gone! Get over it. LFC just need to agree the deal with 'a club' it might not be Real Madrid, but they look the hot favourites as Suarez has said he wants to join them. Whether that's cash only, or more likely a cash plus a player deal we will have to wait and see. Why people keep coming up with random transfer fee figures is laughable. The only people who know and can agree the fee will be LFC and the buying club. Otherwise it's all foggy crystal ball stuff and guess work. It seems as though everyone here is a wanna be football Agent in the know!

One things for sure, Brendan and the club will do their very best to get good quality players to replace Suarez. Have faith in them!

Don't want callejon

No high profile player coming to lfc let's be realistic and get in the real world.
andy carroll should be given a proper chance now, let's get the defence sorted

Ed2 can you please confirm whether we have any interest in Muriel? {Ed002's Note - It seems very much speculation right now.}
