I know there's been nothing much on it recently, but is there still a chance of getting Cuadrado? I heard that Fiorentina bought the rest of the ownership of him, does that make a move less likely?

{Ed002's Note - No. It has dragged on but I would think he will eventually (within a week) move to Barcelona as a replacement for Alves. There remains interest from elsewhere, but not LFC.}

Ah, that's quite disappointing. I'm guessing we're not currently linked with any other wingers? Is Markovic looking likely to be our starting winger alongside Sterling at this point?

{Ed002's Note - I have not decided on the starting line up yet.}

Interesting that Barca would replace a fullback with an attacking winger.

{Ed001's Note - Cuadrado started out as a full back and plays there or as a wing back, as well as on the wing.}

Where's Alves going?

{Ed002's Note - Not to Liverpool.}

Hey Eds, I have seen a few reports online saying we are rekindling our interest in Rojo of Sporting Lisbon. Any idea if there is any truth to this? Would love to see him play for us.

{Ed002's Note - It may be too late.}

Bertrand is looking most likely from what I'm reading online right now?

Good Rojo is shocking! Bertrands not great, Davies was good business by Spurs. Left backs that can defend and attack are very tough to find. We havnt had one who can do both for a long time!

{Ed001's Note - Davies can't defend, nor is he good going forward. Awful signing for Spurs in my opinion.}

I wouldn't want Rojo, thought he was very average during the world cup. overhyped in my opinion.

Davies at 10 mil is certainly good business. He played in an average team last year and only has 2 years premiership experience. He'll do well at Spurs in a better team. Liverpool havnt had a decent fullback since Steve Finnan best all rounder we had not flash but steady. Davies is very much like that.

{Ed001's Note - no he is not. He is average at best.}

Eds, are Liverpool interested in Neto, the brazilian keeper, think he would provide fine competition for Mignolet. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - No.}

Might get him on the cheap as after all it's Scandinavian for value ;-)

Hi Eds,

I posted this question in a much cheesier manner the other day in the hope for a legitimate answer but, it seems to have found its way over to the other banter page. I have used the search function and have found nothing on whether or not we have shown any interest in Kurzawa, the left back from Monaco. Is he available and have we shown any interest?

Thanks!

{Ed002's Note - Others have shown an interest, but not Liverpool.}

Thank you for the timely response ed! Your input is greatly appreciated as always!

Fingers crossed X

Moreno and Lovren will both happen it's just the matter of selling Johnson, Borini and Enriquez who have all got potential places to go QPR, Sunderland and Mid table EPL team.

Enrique won't be leaving this summer.

I refuse to believe a rumour coming from someone who doesn't know the name of our current first choice left back

So we need to sell a forward and a right back to buy a left and center back. ok. makes sense!

Enriquez?

Hmmmmm, surely "Enriquez" would like to know which mid table EPL team he's supposed to be signing for?

Its not about their positions its about getting money in to pay the initial fee to secure the deals, You don't think Barca have given us £60+ million in a bit lump surely. Enrique (never will I press another letter by accident) is surplus to requirements now Moreno or Bertrand and Manquillo are coming in (Kelly and Flanagan will stay)

How do you press a 'z' by accident after an 'z' if you're on an alphabetic keyboard on your phone they're nowhere near each other and if it's qwerty they're still not near each other haha:/

Are you declaring a fact or an opinion? If it's fact then what is the source? If it's opinion then you are entitled to it, but don't post "Moreno and Lovren will both happen" as it misleads the reader.

{Ed023's Note - You do know this is a rumours site?}

And I am sure it really is as simple as that!!

Probably not the first, or the last come to that, but it has to be done (slow transfer day an' all that):
Ok, here I go: ". after an 'z'. "?!

Haha fair enough eyebrow I walked right into that one ;)

Manquillo is a right back?

Dear Eds - do you know if any other teams are interested in Lovren eg. Chelski? Thank you in advance.

{Ed001's Note - Spurs are very interested too, but as I told our Spurs supporting friend, who was blathering on about Lovren was 100% going there, Lovren wanted Champions League football with us, hence why they are not bidding for him currently. He might end up there, if we don't do a deal, but he certainly hasn't chosen to go there.}

I think the reality (sadly) is that he will move to anyone who firstly meet Saints valuation and will then pay him the most. Much of the remainder he is reported to have said is a smoke-screen for greed, or ambition as he puts it. CL IMO is an extra he would prefer as he can make some money from that but it is an extra and would not limit him in a move. And of course, that is his choice and I wouldn't criticise him for that (apart he could be honest about it.)
But you need to recognise the comments from Saints indicate there is no where near a deal with LFC so I am certain other clubs will recognise this and not be slow to react.
Simply, I would suggest ignore all the straws such as going on strike, putting in transfer requests and CL is essential. Meet the fee and he is available, otherwise he isn't and this is the same situation for any other interested club.

Sevilla have refused to budge on their £20 million valuation of Alberto Moreno all summer, but Liverpool's £16 million bid for the talented 22-year-old remains on the table, according to a newspaper

Are you sure it isn't the newspaper that remains on the table?
