LFC-IRE {Ed001's Note - if Balague is correct it means that Jose won the power battle he was having over control of the transfers. In which case it is highly unlikely Xabi will stay.}

so ed with regards to people saying we should get him, do u think he is unlikely to come back because we wouldn't pursue him or because we are chasing other midfielders? because theres no doubt he would jump at the chance to come back.

LFC-IRE

{Ed002's Note - I don't know of any interest, the cost would be high and I guess he is around the 30 mark now - plus there is interest elsewhere.}

What's the chance of Honda coming to Liverpool in the summer?

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 23:48:13
LFC-IRE {Ed001's Note - they are looking to replace him quickly, they tried to get Schweinsteiger but failed. Seems like Jose must have won his power battle there if they are looking at another replacement for Alonso.}

so ed when you said he was 1st on the team sheet, does this mean only for the remainder of this season? and mourihno must be bonkers to wanna replace alonso, he is the kind of player who could go on till mid-late 30s.

LFC-IRE {Ed001's Note - if Balague is correct it means that Jose won the power battle he was having over control of the transfers. In which case it is highly unlikely Xabi will stay.}

In answer to ed001 on the subject of Sissoko I did not say defo and I said it ''looks like'', I am not that uneducated in football to say defo about any potential transfer unless it actually happens because nothing is sure till it happens.


hibsylfc {Ed001's Note - ok no worries, I misread it, my mistake.}

Ed, How highly do you rate Marveaux? I have not seen much of him, but I am always sceptical of free transfers!

Cheers
Glov3z the Red

{Ed002's Note - Marveaux is a good player and a really nice guy. He will fit in right across the midfield and will be a great addition to the squad. Both Manchester United and Chelsea have been interested in him as well as a couple of German sides. He kicked back on Chelsea at the end of the last season simply because he did not want to be simply a squad player only. This may have been behind their subsequent move for Benayoun. At Liverpool, assuming the transfer goes ahead, I would expect reasonably regular starts. Rennes have had the opportunity to sell the player and could have picked up a few million rather than let him go on a free - but they valued him highly enough to let his contract run down rather than cash in. I think he will be just fine.}

Ed, i heard ballague sayin on revista 2 weeks ago that real madrid will be bringing dani parejo or borja valero in to replace xabi alonso? did he mean to replace him when he retires in 2-3 years time approx, or next season?
and can u giv me a % on how likely we are to get adam, m'villa and hoarau


LFC-IRE {Ed001's Note - they are looking to replace him quickly, they tried to get Schweinsteiger but failed. Seems like Jose must have won his power battle there if they are looking at another replacement for Alonso.}

Gents, just heard an interesting one regarding brede hangelaand! i would love yours and the eds comments on this as he ticks the young/ experienced box we are looking to stick to and he is better than skirts and the greek. also would love to see matuidi in a red shirt i think this guy is very similar to essien!

Jay Mc {Ed002's Note - I don't know of interest in Hangeland. Roma, Bayern and Schalke are all interested in Matuidi, along with Fiorentina who may just make a grab for the player.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 22:50:26
In reply to {Ed001's Note - do you not think striker is extremely important? We only have two after all.}

when i said less important i wasnt inferring that getting another striker isn't important i just feel that winger and left back is a bigger priority, maybe switch round creative midfielder with striker.

would you tell me opinion on baines cheers

The Southern Red {Ed002's Note - Baines is a good left back. I doubt that a move will happen to Liverpool.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 22:47:20
Watching valencia vs barca

dont know why we seem to bee perusing adam should go for ever banega he just looks pure class loves the tackle and can pick a pass.

ed do you know if there is any interest in him from us looks a very very good player? {Ed002's Note - I agree. He has been looked at in the past and I am pretty sure Valencia will not want to sell him, but I would advocate following him up to see if a deal could be reached.}

Dear readers, this is going to be a long post but please do forgive me for it.
According to Macca who is a reliable source many a times, the new signings will be the following: Charlie Adam ( 8 Million), Sylvian Marveaux (Bosman), Ashley Young ( 17 Million) and Karim Benzema who personally I don't agree will sign for us but will include in this post ( 20 Million).
Now before we go on and try fit these players into the team, we should try and thin our squad with players in similar roles who are either not good enough/ inconsistent or do not perform well week in week out. Poulsen ( 2.5 Million), Spearing ( 2 Million, I would hate to see him go but I currently hate seeing such a talent on the bench and perhaps we should let him go make his career somewhere else), Jovanovic ( 2 Million), Maxi ( 2 Million) and Ngog ( 3 Million).

After this stage, I would strongly suggest 2 wingers we should go for, Matt Jarvis ( 6 Million) who has been by far Wolves's best player this season and would be in my opinion one hell of a bargain challenging for Marveaux for LM position along with Dimitri Payet/ Greizmann who are very promising indeed.
We would then need to sign a very good left back because its about time we got one.! My preferred choice would be Leighton Baines ( 14 Million) or Taiwo/ Cissokho.
We could then get 1 raw/ young talent who already features in the first team or has just broken into to mould into a future player, this however is not necessary as we do have quite a few of them in our own academy.
Other departures which are most likely are Skrtel ( 5 Million), Aurelio ( 2 Million), Konchesky ( 2 Million), Aquilani ( 12 Million).
We would then need to have back-ups ready for Reina-De Gea and Asenjo would be my short-list and Johnson who I feel might leave the team as Kelly has really come strong as RB, We could recall Darby and have him as back-up for Kelly.
SQUAD:
gk-Reina/ Asenjo, Jones
rb-Kelly, Darby
cb-Carragher, Agger, Krygiakos, Ayala (recall), Wilson
lb-Baines, Insua (would be a worthy back-up in my opinion)
rm-Ashley Young, Payet/ Greizmann
cm-Gerrard, Meireles, Adam, Lucas, Shelvey
lm-Marveaux, Jarvis
am-Joe Cole, Daniel Pacheco
st-Andy Carroll, Suarez, Kuyt, Eccleston (recall)

Would also love to see Coady, Suso and Sterling play couple of games coming off the bench (carling cup?)

***We now have a massive squad with options we won't cringe to select in injury situations/ domestic cups. ***
Again, Sorry for the long post, most of these transfers may not even materialise but its always good to look forward. YNWA

Sorry for late reply ed but alonso wud fit right back in the premier league and even at 30 he still has 2 3 left in him at least and doesn't him and Jose not get on, also is Der still interest in mc cathry spelling from wigan Wud love to get him Adamynwa {Ed001's Note - they aren't close, but Madrid are built around him, they are not going to let him go unless they can replace him. As we know well, it is not easy to replace class like Xabi! There is a watching brief on both Mcs at Wigan.}

Have it from 100% reliable source that saurez feels he has made a massive mistake on becoming a red i don't take any pleasure in saying this and by the way it's an explayer with very stong links to the club who is my informer

The above worries me a little. Mainly because I don't think it was a Man Utd fan who wrote it. Why? Let's look at the evidence:

1: He uses words of more than two syllables when he uses the adjective 'reliable' when referring to his source (which he also doesn't spell 'sauce').

2: He uses the word 'massive' when 'big' would have been a lot easier to spell.

3: Despite not using a hyphen in ex-player he does employ the correct use of an apostrophe when he writes, 'it's an explayer', more evidence that he is not of the required stupidity to be a typical Man Utd fan.

Whilst his general lack of basic grammar and also the use of the word 'stong' instead of strong does give me some hope I think we are being too quick to write this off as Manchester Mischief.

Possibly Chelsea? The average level of stupidity is slightly lower in Chelsea fans, maybe it was one of our free plastic flag waving simpletons who are annoyed that Torres hasn't been quite the instant success they dreamed about. Heaven hopes they wouldn't have to create (and sing) a good, creative and inspiring song to encourage him to start believing in himself and would rather try and disrupt our stars.

In short though, whoever wrote about Suarez being unhappy is clearly speaking Carrick and we have nothing to worry about.

On to a rumour, is there any reason why we might not be the bidder for Sanchez? He fits what we need and what FSG invest in perfectly!

I have read this page for a long time now and it is clear that half these people do pick names out and ask if they have been linked. i would also like to apologise for the repetitive questions, due to peoples lack of ability to scroll down.

now positions that need to be looked at are left back, left and right wing and a creative midfielder.

other positions less important include centre defence and striker.

so to start with i believe that the man for us is leighton baines for left back, now yes before everyone goes on about him playing for everton etc, correct me if i am wrong but is he not a liverpool fan. . in my opinion i do believe that this guy is a top player.

with regards to wingers marveaux is almost a dead cert, looks a decent signing good squad player. and im unsure of the other one there are a few names floating round including ashley young as our primary target. i will give him the benefit of the doubt if he comes cause he does have the potential to be great, whether he can step up to the plate is another matter.

in my opinion the creative midfielder could be either charlie adam or even a return of aquilani, im still unconvinced of adam, would be a risk but could pay off. Aquilani wouldn't cost anything but also a risk, although in the last few games that he played he seemed to be a very good creative player and one that i would like to see in the team.

centre back one is needed only if kyrgiakos leaves and then ease either wilson or ayala in replacement for carragher in the long term. unsure of target although not keen on anyone other than world class/ wonder kid.

striker i would not like to see benzema, wages would be astronomical which is not the thesis of our new owners. possibly Lavezzi or Gervinho

ED would really like this to be posted and would be interested on your thoughts? {Ed001's Note - do you not think striker is extremely important? We only have two after all.}

Editor what in your opinion is the percentage likely that Ashley Upung will be a liverpool player come next season?. .cheers. . {Ed001's Note - 85%}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 21:21:07
Hey ed,

Is Macca Steve McMahon? {Ed001's Note - for the umpteenth time no, he is not an ex-Liverpool player.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 21:10:05
Ed, gervinho, m'villa, benzema, turan, payet, enrigue, horau. Could you write yes or no to each of them wearing a lfc shirt next season mate? {Ed002's Note - There is no way I am going to get sucked in to saying yes to anyone and then get all of the grief that goes with it, so as an alternative, in my view: possibly, maybe, no, unlikely, maybe, possibly, possibly.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
ED i am not one of those to give you grief but i honestly think we have a genuine chance of getting Turan. Not grief just want to know in your opinion why you don't think he will sign? please comment . {Ed001's Note - because he is simply not in amongst the first choice targets.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
do you think he will be 2nd choice if we don't get Young ED ?

{Ed002's Note - Probably.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
sorry for all the questions ED but how many wingers do you think we will get and if any more who do you think we will get for the other wing? please comment ED this is last question i promise !

{Ed002's Note - Don't forget that Marveaux is likely to arrive as well - and he can play right across midfield. If another winger comes in it will need to be someone who naturally plays on the right - my suggestion would be Dmitri Payet from St-Etienne.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
your suggestion on who we will sign or who you would recommend we should sign ED ?
YNWA {Ed001's Note - from what I can gather it is a bit of both, his suggestion but also he is a player we are watching closely.}

Hey eds any of ye think alonso will be coming back i recall macca sayin a while back if sg goes he will come back Adamynwa {Ed002's Note - I find it doubtful.}
, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
why ed?what was up with him and sg,

{Ed002's Note - There is no interest from Liverpool and he is playing regularly in Madris and he has to be around 30 now.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 20:18:34
Ed with recent rumours of liverpool continuing to monitor Wignaldum of Feyenoord who's in the last year of his contract so would come fairly cheap, was just wondering what chance you thought there was of signing him, think he looks a future POTENTIAL star and worth a punt. . {Ed002's Note - I appreciate he had a good game at the weekend so he is flavour of the week, but it may be worth thinking about all of the clubs that have looked at him and not followed up their interest. I think it is unlikely.}

02 Mar 2011 20:05:41
Hey eds any of ye think alonso will be coming back i recall macca sayin a while back if sg goes he will come back Adamynwa {Ed001's Note - I can't see him returning, he is first name on the team sheet at Madrid.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:49:22
Ed, might i just ask honestly mate. Was on the chelsea site and seen that edd001 said that he thinks the sanchez deal to chelsea is pretty much done. Yes, it may not happen etc, but if and as expected goes to chelsea, how come you and the other ed's said there was no chance of him going to lfc but he goes to chelsea. Was it the wages, transfer fee or chelsea are more attractable because we all know hes a united fan?

{Ed002's Note - The reasons that I said he would not go to Liverpool are (1) they have shown no interest in the player; (2) other clubs have shown an interest in the player and discussed terms with Udinese and his agent; (3) other clubs have put an offer on the table.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:31:00
Ed how come you don't think coentrao will sign in the summer? thanks {Ed002's Note - (1) I don't know of any interest in the player from Liverpool; (2) He will have other options available to him (Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Real Madrid - and possibly Barcelona and Chelsea.}

Have it from 100% reliable source that saurez feels he has made a massive mistake on becoming a red i don't take any pleasure in saying this and by the way it's an explayer with very stong links to the club who is my informer

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Steve Clarke on Suarez today. .
"I think he's been good. He's a good personality around the place. He hasn't quite got a full grasp of the language yet, but he knows what he's after and what he wants."

"He works hard in training every day and, as you can see on the pitch, he's starting to settle down. I'm sure he'll be a fantastic signing for the club."

What Suarez has said on Twitter after the West Ham game was this:

"Enojado por el partido. Perdimos y ahora a seguir trabajando para el pr ximo."

Which tranlslated is. . "Angry for the match. We need to keep working for the next one."

And, I think I agree with him! Bite Ngog ear Suarez, it might get him moving a bit!

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:28:58
Ed, do you know who bid 30 million for Sanchez recently. You lot have a lot of fingers in a lot of pies, any ideas? {Ed001's Note - Chelsea.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:30:30
What do you think of him i think he shoud be the first signing hes really awsome {Ed002's Note - He is one of a number of very good wingers around and he will be available in the summer. Atletico remain interested and no doubt other clubs will become involved. As for Liverpool, I am not sure where he would stand if, as predicted, Ashley Young makes the move. I would have thought a predominently right-sided player would be a higher priority - perhaps Payet.}

Just goes to show that KK has created a fear factor around LFC when Man Ure fans feel the need to come on here because there are more interesting times at L4 than at castle greyskull. Is this not the same rumour that was circulating about Torres yesterday? Sad team and even sadder fans.

Forever in our shadow.

Hi Ed's,

Just like to start by saying, i hope the Kenny and Clarke era continues past the summer, i been watching all the games of late and i think its obvious by now if we bought in some decent wingers (especially with the arrival of Carroll) we would look a totally different dimension. Its one area of the field which has cost us points this year, and many years before now. Watching Dirk bust a gut is brilliant, but lets face it, he isn't exactly the future of Liverpool on the wing, more of back up to Suarez and Carroll i think. It just frustrates me as i have had a season ticket for 11 years now and it just seems the same old same old. I hear Macca talking about Young and Marveux. Young for me is totally over rated, and even though he has a year left on his contract, so does Turan. I know who id rather see. And i just don't have much of a feeling about Marveaux. It could just be another Mark Gonzalez. I hope im wrong! Hate to sound all gloomy, but on the positive side of things i think 2 players with pace on both wings would increase our position in the table next year. Adam Johnson and Arda Turan in my opinion would do nicely. What are your thoughts Ed's

Adzii

Adzii {Ed005's Note - I agree that the wings need strengthening. And I don't think Young is the answer either, I would prefer Turan and he is desperate to come, but I don't think we'll get Adam Johnson. Marveaux would be decent business for me, he's versatile and he comes with no transfer fee and his wages wouldn't be massive. We can't just think about the starting XI, we have to build a squad also and be prepared to play different formations.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 17:57:47
{Ed002's Note - Macca has already put his cards on the table for the summer.}

Not really, hes only said 4 players that are close to completing, i expect at least 2 more signings, a DM, a defender and possibly another winger

{Ed002's Note - I am sorry you are disappointed - we'll tell him not to bother in the future.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 17:35:02
ED if a striker was to be bought in the summer what are the likely options? Who in your opinion will be the main signing in the summer if there is one?

{Ed002's Note - My opinion is Gervinho or Hoarau as a possible striker. I can't get in to any discussion over what the definition of "main" is, but it is reasonable to assume there will be four or five signings of first team quality - many of which are discussed on the se pages, so I recommend reaing teh posts and the replies.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 17:11:08
Hi eds, just a general question, as juve are looking to bid 17 mil for an un-happy mascha, would you bring him back to Anfield for that? And would you like to see him back? Cheers lads (please post in rumour) {Ed002's Note - I am not convinced they are interested in him. I would have thought he burned his bridges when he left Anfield last year.}

Chelsea have offered Liverpool £46.00 and a old reserve kit for Ngog, Liverpool turned down the offer stating they thought it was too much and come back with a realistic offer.

Players liverpool with very igh interest and talk in club with are Young and Adam as evry one here knows and the other is Coentrao who really like liverpool and wants to move their and has spoken to the benfica board about it!
I can't see us getting Benzema now!

Thoughts ed? {Ed002's Note - I do not expect Coentrao to move to Liverpool. I also don't expect Benzema and I think it is disappointing that Liverpool are not looking to other options to Adam and Young as I am not really a fan of either.}

do any eds have any idea? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool have an interest in Wickham as do Spurs. Henderson interests Manchester United but I don't know of interest from Liverpool. The others will not be available to be sold but may be available to go out on loan. The problem is that on loan they would be expected to start.}

Its a strange feeling but i think that we will definatly sign someone from the french league sounds random but bastos , moussa sissoko , mvila , matuidi , payet , gervinho , hazard , all linked to the club i think its obvious the club are looking for a young solid dm that's why matuidi , mvila and sissoko being looked at , clearly comolli is working hard in france looking at players. what you think ed? i know he is a big fan of hazard and gervinho , also mvila. {Ed002's Note - Bastos will have interest from Italy as well, and possibly Spain. Lyon would be willing to sell to an English side as they would probably get a higher fee. M'Vila and Sissoko are very different players and both are attracting interest from Liverpool. M'Vila would be an excellent choice as a defensive midfielder. Sissoko could be a long term replacement for Gerrard, but may put Shelvey in a difficult position if he were to join. Matuidi is less likely. Payet will move in the summer with PSG being in pole - but he would be an excellent solution for the right wing. Gervinho would be an excellent choice as a third striking option - and I am told Liverpool are still interested in Hoarao. Hazard will not be moving to Liverpool.}

I Expect a lot of activity from the Reds in the next transfer window. With I think no less than 11 players leaving the club to include;

Rodriguez
Poulsen
Skertel
Kyrgiakos
Jovanovic
NGog
Konchesky
El Zhar
Insua
Degen
Aquilani

and about 8 players coming in. To include the likes of;

Benzema
Young
Marveux
Honda
Turan
Adam
Taiwo or Baines (Would prefer both)
Defender (Richards being top of the list)

Sounds like a bit of a wish list I know, but based on the rumours doing the rounds and our need to revamp the squad i believe (and hope) this may just happen.

We would recoup about £41m from the sales and spend about £72m on the incoming this would mean a net spend of £31m well within the owners spending plans I would think.

What do you think Ed?

YNWA {Ed001's Note - I really can't see there being that many players coming in mate. 4, 5 at most I expect.}

Thanks for the quick response ED. Why don't you think so? especially with most of the out list already on loan. Also with Marveaux and Taiwo being free's we would only be spending on 6 players max. {Ed001's Note - they would not be free, you have to pay a signing on fee and they normally expect higher wages to go with it. It is very unlikely we will get Taiwo, having spoken to a few people about him lately that is probably a good thing. Young, Marveaux and Adam are almost certain though, I expect a striker as well and then probably M'Vila or another winger at most. The major problem is that it is not as easy as you think to just sell deadwood, no one wants to buy them, which is why so much is out on loan.}

Ed those stated the otherday Are they the main targets?

Will the others be youngsters etc with more of sterling, pacheo (spelling)etc making up the squad?

Ed, what are the chances of getting Mexes in the summer. I think he would be a big answer to some of our defensive problems

{Ed002's Note - I think that Liverpool have given up on any hope there was in signing Mexes from Roma. He has been the number one centre back target of AC Milan for some time and I understand that he is interested in moving to Milan. It leaves an option open on Davide Astori of Cagliari who Roma may turn their attentions to. Perhaps Liverpool should take the opportunity to look at Astori themselves - I think he would be a suitable addition.}

Hi ed, i thought juve were skint, but according to the mail they are to bid 17m for an unhappy macherano in the summer, so if they have money let them pay full wack for aquaman, jimmybosun,

{Ed002's Note - Juventus have lost revenue from the Italian TV deal being renegotiated and for being out of the Champions League. However, whilst the last set of financial results were not good, they are in a position to make a couple of significant purchases in addition to those which will be funded by sales. I doubt that the reported interest in Mascherano is correct as there is nothing firm to substantiate it. They are however interested in several players that one might consider "mid price" and in a couple of players who would cost significantly more. It will be an interesting summer in Turin. The reluctance over Aquilani is more to do with the availability of Pirlo on a free transfer.}

I expect there to be a few suprise signings in the summer. ones that will not be widely advertised! no idea who tho, just my opinion! I hope we renew interest in Honda, he is brilliant. I would also prefer Turan to Young. Not entirely sure why or where we would play adam on our team next season as i expect a squad too strong for him to hold a position on the starting 11.

i really hope carroll is fit for Sunday. without vidic or ferdinand at the back, uniteds young bloods will be terrorized by carrolls size and strength on the ball, not to mention suarez's trickery and pace!

what you think ed?

Pogo the Clown {Ed002's Note - I agree that Honda would be a good signing. I also agree that there are better options than Young and I have never seen a place for Adam.}

Macca is Jason McAteer {Ed001's Note - nope, have you never heard McAteer speak? He wouldn't be able to spell half the words Macca uses!}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 10:58:05
Macca is steve mcmanaman

Its so blatent

{Ed002's Note - Or Paul McCartney?}


or john lennon {Ed001's Note - he is defo not McManaman, I thought that was put to bed in the summer?}

Udinese are reportedly closely monitoring Christian Poulsen with the aim of signing him during the summer transfer window. They are ready to make a £3 million offer, I know we paid £4.5m but I recon we should take it!
China Red


see if they'd do a straight swap for alexis sanchez

I was told by an Udinese fan that Alexis Sanchez was minutes away for joining an english team but the deal broke down because they wanted £25m + a player, ED do you which club? his 100% Sanchez will be playing his football in England next season. I was also told they want martin skrtel.

TheBA300 {Ed001's Note - Chelsea.}

Eds. Seeing more rumours surface about our interest in Michele Bastos. I remember links to him 2 years ago before joining Lyon, any truth of us scouting him or any interest at all?

I think he would be brilliant for LW even though he is billed at LB. Havent really fancied his defensive stance, but has a heck of a left foot with accuracy to go along with it. {Ed001's Note - he was priced out of a move, unless Lyon drop their asking price no one is interested.}

Ed cud dis be lfc new lb Oscar Wendt {Ed001's Note - it is possible, he has been scouted, but I don't know any more than that about him and any interest.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 00:51:10
Just thought it was interesting that Lyon have to reduce their wage budget next season due to sponsorship money being pulled out. I'm not saying we will definatly have interest in any Lyon players but it certainly would have considerable effects on their notoriously high prices for players I.e bastos, panic lovren. Expect big names to leave.

Love the work ed, any potential interest in any of these players? {Ed001's Note - definitely potential interest, but Lyon's ridiculous valuations has kept us away up until now.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 00:48:31
I'll be sad to see Reina go, but as Carra said ' anyone wanting to go better leave, only red-at-heart needed in Livepool'. .we badly need pace on wings and creative midfielder. . badly!
Any comment Ed? {Ed001's Note - I fully agree mate, can't find fault with anything you have said.}

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 00:37:26
Ed, In your proffesional opinion, will Reina leave us in the summer and if so, where do you think he may go? {Ed001's Note - I think he is more likely to leave than stay right now, unfortunately. I think he will return to Spain myself, he would be Spain's number one if he played in the country.}
