{Ed002's Note - Liverpool know that there will be interest in Suarez. If the rumours of all of these players being of interest to Liverpool is true, then they are looking for a replacement. If, perhaps, rumours are not all true, then maybe they are looking to next season with him, and just keeping a watching brief.}

I really don't understand the thought process of most people on this site! An alarming number of you are convinced we are going to sign Balotelli and Sanchez based on hearsay and lazy Journalism even after eds002 has said we have no interest. Yet when eds 002 says we may have an interest in La Liga's goalkeeper of the Year Levant's Keylar Navas nobody bats an eyelid! i'm seriously baffled. eds 002 can you shed some more light on Liverpool's 'interest' in Navas please?

{Ed002's Note - Levante goalkeeper Keylor Navas is an option for Atletico Madrid. Addfitionally, Marseille, Wigan and Everton have shown interest in the player in recent months, but the strong interest from Milan has now gone. I am aware that Liverpool had the player watched earlier in the year, but a move to simply sit on the bench at Liverpool is not at all likely - he would want commitments about playing time. Levante would like to keep him but it might be difficult.}

Thankyou eds002. I really believe we need Bergovic he is world class. Although Mignolet is a great shot stopper we need a commanding keeper when coming for crosses as this instills confidence in the defence. At the very least as eds 001 suggests get the goalkeeping coach that made Pepe Reina so majestic when he was in the onion bag for Liverpool. We have to act soon as this position could become our Achilles heel

{Ed002's Note - Begovic will likely move in the summer with Real Madrid, Arsenal and Borussia Monchengladbach showing some interest.}

Not understanding something doesn't mean it's wrong, if they want to believe their dream target will sign, so be it. Nobody knows until the Window shuts

Wez I appreciate your sentiments. But Sanchez is a maybe at best but Ballotelli, come on you think we need that kind of fresh hell at Anfield? He's a ticking time bomb and I feel will only realise his potential later on in his career when he matures and grows up. Besides I think his wages would be astronomical and beyond us.

I kinda get it, we finished second in the league and we have CL, which can attract a higher calibre of player. People get carried away when we're linked with players like Sanchez, however lazy the journalism because he's a great player. i'd love to have him at the club! People believe what they want to believe. Eds can say til they're blue in the face that we're looking at a relatively unknown player from the Ukraine league, yet a nobody on Twitter can say we're looking at Iniesta and people will believe that over what the Eds say. However silly it is it's human nature. We're all excited about who we may sign in the summer given how the season went, expecting some quality to come in. All I'll say is whoever we do get, I trust Brendan to bring in the right players, and if it's not Sanchez or Draxler or any other 'marquee' signing it must be for a good reason. We may watch a handful of these matches involving all these players, but the staff at LFC know a lot more than we do.

Hi eds

Has there been any interest in Rui Patricio? From Liverpool or from anywhere else?

Would suit the Rodgers goalkeeping profile in that he is commanding and his distribution is superb.

Thanks a lot

{Ed002's Note - Last summer Sporting's Rui Patricio attracted interest from Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, two clubs whao are currently in the market for a new goalkeeper. I am not aware of recent interest though.}

Hi Eds. Heard some news saying we are reportedly after Balotelli if Suarez leaves. Is there any chance he will want to come or is it all just speculation?
Thanks a lot

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what he wants to do, but I personally would not see him seamlessly slotting in to replace Suarez.}

He would easily replace the trouble and controversy he causes. Lol

Maybe Brendo can sort him out like he did with Louis and turn him into the player he can be.

Reading that a fee has been agreed for Steven Caulker Eds. That only personal terms are to be settled and he has instructed his agent to find him dwellings in the Liverpool area.
You have said before that we are chasing others more vigorously so is this report to be taken serious?
It stems from posts of an admin (much like yourselves) on the cardifcityforum site and apparently he is pretty much reliable with the stuff he writes.

If its true, even though I thought we would go for better, I will give him my full support.
BR obviously see's something in him that he can work with to improve the team.

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - I can't really help here, the only confirmation I have regarding Caulker is that Southampton were showing an interest - presumably as a replacement for Lovren who is interesting others including Roma and Liverpool.}

Thanks for the prompt reply Ed002.
I am sure if you hear anything in the next few days you will let us know.
