Think that would be a good move for him and I'd be happy to see him stay in the Prem and prove himself.

Hey ed02, heard you had a pleasant weekend!
Rumours are surfacing about Liverpool showing interest in Hernanes, but all seem pretty iffy. I read through the posts, and what I found from you is that he is available and we SHOULD show interest - but have things actually changed, with the club switching from Kovacic to Hernanes, or is it just speculation at the moment?
Also, any updates over the weekend with the Barcelona bid for Kovacic, increasing rumours that Montoya is heading to Milano.
Thanks!

{Ed002's Note - It is speculation. I am not aware of any further discussions with Barcelona.}

Thank you very much, ed! I really hope we manage to pull this deal through. I don't know why, but I think Kovacic could be great for the club.

Heard about our second bid for illaremndi have been accepted and we already submit our bid for hernandez. any info regard to this?

Btw, its seems clear that liv will finish their transfer activity with another two signing which are DM and striker. and maybe another RB as a back up plan

28 Jun 2015 19:23:46
Why would we sign another right back as back up we have Wisdom,Flanagan,Manqillo and clyne if anything we need a left back

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 20:00:33
We haven't bid for Irallemendi or Hernanes I'm afraid at this stage.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 20:14:45
Another right back jeez how many do you want?

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 21:28:08
Red bro, I think Manquillo's loan will get cancelled then Wisdom and Clyne would be our right-backs, then when Flanagan comes back from injury, I think he'll be used as a left-back.
Just what I think though.

28 Jun 2015 22:21:37
Not sure there is anything in it but I would be happy with Illaremendi

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 22:59:36
Right back? Ain't he a defensive midfielder?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed001. With Bacca looking like he's off to Milan, I assume Benteke is now our number 1 target? Is there any hope that we may be looking at someone else?

Believable4 Unbelievable2

{Ed001's Note - not right now sorry.}

28 Jun 2015 14:16:52
Are there any clubs showing interest in taking a punt on Balo Ed?

Believable4 Unbelievable1

{Ed001's Note - none that I know of.}

28 Jun 2015 17:58:12
Cheers Ed.
Does that mean we'll be stuck with him or pay him off/release him or however it works?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No it doesn't mean that.}

28 Jun 2015 23:04:12
I heard of interest frob Trabzonspor

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 23:20:43
Reading some fairly shady reports of Besiktas or Trabzonspor interest, think there's any truth eds?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - There has been some interest but I doubt it is the preferred solution right now.}

28 Jun 2015 16:00:33
12 mil going in for hernanes, you reckon we will land him eds? Good shout on the early tip ed002👍

are the ludwig augustinsson rumours believable?

Believable0 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - It would seem unlikely as Augustinsson only moved earlier this year and he has been pretty offensive about English players - but I don't know if Liverpool has an interest or not. I should say that he is well thought of and has been watched by another English side before his January move.}

28 Jun 2015 15:02:22
Maybe he's the big name that people are looking for

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 16:11:44
Offensive? What he said was roughly that the price of english players are inflated- they are in that sense overrated, when asked about the "superstars" in the England u21 squad. Don't think anyone would disagree- english players are overpriced in general. But it surely would be too soon for the lad to go to LFC. Needs a year or two in Copenhagen first.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 17:16:23
Pretty offensive ed002???? How so? He said The England u21s were overrated and he was proven right by their early exit form the tournament, offensive? No. Honest? Yes. I for one would welcome him with open arms to the club.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - That is because you simply crave new players - you want the squad replaced every year so have another year of transition and something to moan about.}

30 Jun 2015 09:34:11
Uhm no sorry Ed, that's a pretty drastic assumption. There will be nothing better than when we finally have a settled team and squad, we're not there yet, but this window seems to be addressing a lot of problems.

Fact is we have one fit left-back, so Augustinsson would be a good addition and he does look a good prospect with a future at the highest level.

Morning eds 1st time poster jw wiv milan agreeing a fee for bacca do u see us matching the offer or going for other targets would have loved him at anfield next season thanks

Believable0 Unbelievable6

{Ed002's Note - I would doubt it - the efforts are going on Benteke right now. Bacca has agreed personal terms with Milan.}

28 Jun 2015 09:26:31
Ok thanks m8 I thought the fee was deemed to high for benteke wiv a 32.5m release clause or are we willing to pay it now

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Read the posts.}

28 Jun 2015 10:31:35
The reality of it is Benteke wants to leave Villa, a compromise is likely to be reached on the fee. I just hope we can adapt or adapt him into our style of play. Having said that he isn't just a scorer of headers from crosses into box, I think he will do good with creativity behind him.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 10:27:20
Ed2 would we have to sell Sterling to fund a deal for Benteke?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It really doesn't work like that.}

Following the reports that Carlos Bacca has agreed economic terms with AC Milan, the response from his current club Sevilla has been swift.

According to Estadio Deportivo, the Europa League winners have stood firm, just as they have done throughout all the speculation about the future of the Colombian striker.

AC Milan had hoped to reduce the asking price, or perhaps include central defender Adil Rami in a part-exchange deal, given Sevilla have shown an interest in moving for the Frenchman.

However, The Italian giants have been told clearly that Sevilla will only let Bacca leave, if the full €30 million release clause valuation is met in full. The Spanish club refuse to enter into any negotiations. Any bidder must pay that clause in its entirety.

How true this is I have no idea.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't know if I'm as confident as you are on Benteke. His link up play and pass completion rate are poor. I can imagine him over hitting passes and looking out of place, but I will back him if he does arrive. We haven't exactly bought out and out wingers so far though to indicate any change of style. In saying all this Bacca is not exactly a a great passer either but he makes brilliant off the ball runs and is pretty clinical.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 15:59:41
Benteke's flat is up for sale in Sutton Coldfield. Looks like he is on the move, hopefully not up the M6 to Liverpool.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 17:31:44
Have a look at Benteke's goals last year on youtube and show me one that is set up by a traditional winger.

Lots from crosses from the attacking full back granted - but we have those in Moreno and (soon) Clyne.

Whats wrong with having a threat from corners and free kicks into the box? You'll also see on the video his pace to get in behind and that he does like to pull on the shoulder of the last defender.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jun 2015 08:17:31
Now that Bacca is possibly off to Milan, I hope Rondon and Benteke are not actually a possibility.
Do we have any interest in Luiz Adriano from Shakhtar? Will be a low fee considering contract up at Christmas and, similar to Bacca, of an age where he won't hamper the progress of the youngsters coming through.

{Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware.}

28 Jun 2015 09:00:03
I hope to god we haven't bid for Bacca because we opted for Benteke instead. Complete madness as he brings nothing to our team wth our style of play.

Hi Eds,

Any news on where Glen Johnson is heading off too?

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed001's Note - no sorry.}

28 Jun 2015 08:50:03
Engine running and will happily drive him out of town.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Besiktas is a long way.}
