hi eds with lfc reportedly trying to sign this youngster from barca does that mean we could still be trying to push a late deal through or is it your opinion that our business is complete? thanks {Ed002's Note - This is not a late deal. Assuming it happened itr would be right after the Sporting rejection last week.}


They were interested in him under kenny last season, Rodgers didn't go in for him old story blew up


We tried signing Cuenca on loan from Barca, he turned us down and went Ajax instead I think.


 

 

31 Jan 2013 22:04:34
A quick question for Ed002. (I had a quick scout around using the search function, but alas, I couldn't find what I was looking for)

Anyway, do you know if a "minimum fee release clause" exists in Luis Suarez's contract?

Many thanks. {Ed002's Note - I don't know if it does or not, sorry.}


Cheers anyway Ed.


31 Jan 2013 22:43:09
Who cares if there is or there isn't. "I hope to stay here for a long time" mmmmm! That must mean he wants to leave quick let me post a Suarez is leaving post. Honestly haven't you got anything else better to do?
Albert


Yea it's �150m.


People's hearts are still broken because of the way Torres left the club. Their minds have been corrupted into thinking our best player showing loyalty means he's going to leave as soon as possible.


I care Albert. That's why I asked. OK.


There was with his original contract but looks unlikely now


 

 

31 Jan 2013 21:59:12
Pepe reina is on his way to arsenal and Maarten stekelenburg is on his way to melwood for a medical. thomas ince will move to us in summer and also I'm still expecting one more move away from the club


How much are we paying Fulham for Maarten stekelenburg? Is he allowed to play for three clubs in a year.
And why on earth would Reina go to Arsenal?


In fact, he's currently at the airport getting a plane home again, Roma pulled the plug on his fulham move.


Bloody hell then Pepe is both flying out to Barca and heading for London at the same time. Good trick that one!

The Plank


You can stop playing champ manager now till the end of the season


Well don't see this happing at all so don't know where you got this from!


 

 

31 Jan 2013 21:58:33
Eds, Diame is on the move, but do we know where to? {Ed002's Note - I know nothing of him moving, sorry.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 21:26:28
Graham Hunter on tv just confirmed that Liverpool have missed out on signing a young winger who plays for Barcelona. Apparently, Barcelona were happy to loan the player to us but he opted to join Ajax instead.


YOW! Yet again we "miss out" on an un-named player. Just think of the wage bill if we'd not missed out on a single player this window.

The Plank


It was issac cuenca and it was true he decided to go to ajax instead on loan


The player is just back from being out for 7 months he would be completely unfit anyway.
Campbell


"Issac Cuenca, who has been out for eight months with an injury, initially rejected the move to Ajax but ultimately decided to accept the loan until the end of the season. After a conversation with manager Tito Vilanova, Cuenca became convinced that he needed minutes to regain his match fitness and the Dutch club was the best team to provide him with that playing time. "

Personally, I can do without another injury rehab player. Especially, another 21yr old 5'7' lightweight speedy winger.

31 Jan 2013 21:26:01
tv jus reported with spainsh based jurno G. HUNTER we missed out on cuenca from barca he's gone to ajax JON96 {Ed002's Note - So the loan never happened.}


31 Jan 2013 21:33:35
Eds - did you mention this loan? I'm not into Loans, bit desperate. . has it worked for LFC to date? Can't think of any successful loans

Ant {Ed002's Note - I didn't but after Valencia said they could not afford Cuenca's wages, someone did mention that Liverpool had made an approach to Barcelona after Liverpool had been turned down by Sporting over a loan for Jeffren. I knew nothing of the approach.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 21:25:51
Isaac Cuenca rejected a loan deal to Liverpool in favour of Ajax. Ince will sign in the summer, Rogers and co will be sitting back, watching tv like the rest of us for the remainder of the night.


 

 

31 Jan 2013 21:23:38
Apparently we were turned down by Isaac Cuenca who has gone to Ajax instead?
LS7.


 

 

31 Jan 2013 21:14:42
ed a lot on reina you know anything? {Ed002's Note - Something about the M40 and an Alfa Romeo Arna - and we all know who drives an Arna.}


Who drives an arna?


31 Jan 2013 21:30:09
Who?

Ant


Reina is on his way to london as we speak to speak with arsenal


 

 

31 Jan 2013 21:08:32
Reina is on his way to Spain to Barcelona. Do you think there could be an exchange to bring in David Villa? Would be a great signing


Flying to Barcelona right now eh? Yeah we swap him for Villa. Is Villa any good in goal because Jones sure isn't so we can field 4 strikers and 1 bad keeper. 4th place is assured!

The Plank


Jones is a good enough keeper


Oh yeah Jones was sensational against Oldham wasn't he? I keep reading on here people saying we need TOP quality players if we're to return to our glory days. Are you really saying Brad Jones is a keeper that the top clubs in the EPL would want between the sticks? He's nothing more than a stand in for when first choice keeper's injured.

The Plank


No, he's nothing more than another player that we don't need and could replace easy.


 

 

31 Jan 2013 21:07:27
Tom Ince 100% on his way too LFC as we speak. Fee agreed after Oyston dropped his demands and we restructured payment.
Gaz


Defo. . Not coming tonight!


31 Jan 2013 23:20:29
reina isn't going anywhere till lfc get a replacement first.


Did he get lost Gaz?
Maybe the LFC credit card hot declined, it's a nightmare that online banking! Transfers never go right!


 

 

31 Jan 2013 21:05:37
Hi ed do you think that we will sign anyone else seems very quiet at the minute {Ed002's Note - Sure, one day.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 21:02:57
Eds do you know if what wonderdogsparky has just said is true ? d {Ed002's Note - What has he said?}


Pepe has taken his passport and is burning down the m40 in his alpha {Ed002's Note - Crikey.}


But he's left his trousers behind lol he's probably gone for nandos


 

 

31 Jan 2013 20:46:16
Ed's, can you shed any light on Doni's move out of the club? I've heard it's to Botofogo but not the 1's from Rio but infect some non-league Brazilian side!? Seems strange he's dropped so low! Is there more to it than we know?

Ta!

Robbo {Ed002's Note - It is Botafogo he has gone to.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 20:45:42
I reckon Everton have activated Diames clause

Marc


I know nothing and I reckon they haven't. How do you know Marc?

The Plank


Oooooo. ! That sounds painful, I hope he's ok. !

Myk


 

 

31 Jan 2013 20:40:49
Ed002 i'm a follower of sparky and he seems to be hinting at a Reina move to a team abroad

What do you think? Do you think that could happen this window or more a summer move?

Thanks {Ed002's Note - I know nothing of what Sparky has been saying. I'll check if I get time.}


Just seen that yeah, is there any updates on steklenberg yet, as to where he is going or is that rubbish? {Ed002's Note - He is in London.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 20:40:07
If I was a betting man which I am. Tom Ince is already secured for next season hence Blackpool telling reading were to go. There will be more than a few outgoings next season from midfield So he will have better opportunities to play regular. His dad will be happy to see him develop at Blackpool until then.

Dave


 

 

31 Jan 2013 20:23:20
Come on eds, tv keep saying he same stuff atm. Have you guys got anything? {Ed002's Note - There is nothing right now.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 20:09:55
Eddoo2 I think it was you mate when asked about damiao the Brazilian stiker that he was worth a lot of money according to his club, maybe 60million his club wanted? Do you think spurs will sign him as I thought he would be a tatget in the summer? {Ed002's Note - His club values him at a very unrealistic 60M euros and he has complex ownership issues so it will not be an easy ride for any potential buyer that wants to negotiate a low fee. The player says wants to move to Chelsea but their interest would only be there if other targets were not achievable, but they have taken a look at him.}


Spurs are close to signing him for a lot less than that I think.


 

 

31 Jan 2013 19:45:51
Everton ready to jump in for ince


No chance that would be a stab in the back!!


Everton has activated diame release clause in west ham contract


Yeah like they were going to buy Negredo?If some reds think we don't spend enough then try being an Everton supporter. An 18 year old full back from Barnsley named Stones seems to be their total outlay with just 2 hours to go to the window closing.

The Plank


To be honest they are a better team than us at the moment the league don't lie do they really need any more players

Honet red


 

 

31 Jan 2013 19:45:27
any chance to get lallana {Ed002's Note - No.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 19:42:27
Rumours going around that we're trying to get stekelenburg on loan. . can this be true Eds? {Ed002's Note - He is in London so someone might want to call his agent.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 19:18:29
Were in for marrtin steklenberg {Ed002's Note - He has arrived at the wrong airport then.}


He is joining fulham. anyway what is the excitement about. he is 30


30 is a baby for a goalkeeper. VDS was well in his 30's when he joined utd !


 

 

31 Jan 2013 18:21:12
Hey Ed,
Is it possible that we could be interested in Cabaye as he surely can't be happy at Newcastle and he's a top quality player so are there any other teams interested in him; what are his contract details and could we be interested in him? Just imagine him, Gerrard and Coutinho in the middle. {Ed002's Note - He will not be moving to Liverpool.}


Perhaps a dumb question, but why is it that Cabaye 'surely can't be happy' at Newcastle? Did I miss something (Pardue flirting with his girl, Cisse destroyed his flat, something like that?)?


Yeh. 3 attacking CMs. That would work.


I thought Man United were going to replace Carrick with Cabaye but it looks like Carrick is staying there and Cabaye will stay at Newcastle. Although after the initial Newcastle mini France novelty wares off, i'm sure he'll want to see drastic improvements such as Europe. Let's not forget that Cabaye left a team of Frenchmen before. :)

BoriniCanDoIt. {Ed002's Note - Cabaye is likely to become the new captain at NU. At least that is what he thinks.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 16:36:04
QPR and Villa are after Suso on a loan deal,


intitwetrust


Think either would be a good move for him. . maybe more so Villa! With Coutinho in, it is a sound idea to send Suso on loan


Cant see why either QPR or Villa would loan a player like Suso. both teams have creative type players already particularly QPR. don't see him as a player for a roll up your sleeves relegation dog fight


Mixed feelings, he needs football now, we can't offer him game in and game out, Villa might, not sure though, QPR won't, no way. So i'd want him at Villa and hope he'd get 12 really tough pressure filled games under his belt before he comes back in the Summer. I mean, who wants to live in London!? :)

BoriniCanDoIt.


Villa don't need suso they need a decent central defender to replace the Honey Monster who had an injury set back this week


Suso says he's not interested in a loan


 

 

31 Jan 2013 16:12:25
tv Saying Blackpool are eying up Hulls Cameron Stewart. . . if TOM INCE leaves!! Well, here we go. . . that's enough to keep me watching Big Jim until 11pm tonight! :-)


31 Jan 2013 17:04:50
That's instead of Kevin Phillips, ince will be at Blackpool untill the summer. .


Adding to this, El Mohammady (winger) has just resigned for Hull on loan.


We all now you mean Natalie Sawyer. . .

31 Jan 2013 20:21:04
Tom Ince to ManCity (BBC) apparently he doesn't want to get invited for sunday lunch at his Dad's


 

 

31 Jan 2013 16:03:29
Eds do you think we could get Scott Sinclair in on loan? Heard a few rumours regarding this transfer just wanted to hear your take on it. {Ed002's Note - Search engine.}


Search engine, search engine looks like the theme for the evening!


31 Jan 2013 16:57:07
Why can't we get Diakte or Diame now? Both will be cheap signings & give us power. Wait till the summer & Diakte becomes a free with a lot more vultures. BR sign 1 more player please. It's those 2 or Ince. We've let more players move again, so numbers are needed.


HE can't play for us!!

Only swansea and city


Not allowed to play for more than two clubs in season


 

 

31 Jan 2013 15:56:17
I hope these Suarez to Replace Ballotelli rumours are just a windup, be fuming


If you have a look at Suarez interview on the official web. You will realize what the club means to him.

Mighty reds


Here here, suarez just can't get enough!

intitiwetrust


He is all red. he will not leave in the near future unless the americans forces him out. and I just can't see it happen. . we will have one of top 5 strikers in the world at least 2 more years. .


Best rumour I have seen today 55 million


Not to play Devil's advocate, but we did all say this about Torres. YNWA


Read the , Liverpool echo, on icLiverpool. com then **** off

lfc are in 4 a loan deal for a big player keep an eye out


 

 

31 Jan 2013 15:33:28
Any chance of Jeffren or Gameiro on loan, eds? {Ed002's Note - Search engine.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 15:27:29
Jack Butland to Stoke for 5m and loanrd back for the rest of the season, Doni has been released by Liverpool.

Sid


 

 

31 Jan 2013 14:42:05
Any chance to sign one of Toby Alderweireld, Mateo Musachio or Stefan de Vrij in the summer?


 

 

31 Jan 2013 14:24:22
Man City interested in Skrtel but only want to pay 12m max.
Alternatively they would do a deal for 5m plus Lescott.
This would be diastrous for Liverpool as the forehead is nowhere near good enough to play in our back four.

JD


Very much doubt this is true why would a ex everton player sign for us knowing the amount of stick he would get, everton - Liverpool transfers aswell as Manchester United to Liverpool just don't happen no more m8


Another pointless rumour.

The Plank


Skrtel �12m don't make me laugh! Your havin a laugh aren't yer!


If only, would be delighted


Throw Milner and Tevez in


 

 

31 Jan 2013 14:19:38
Ben Arfa being mooted for a loan. Didn't believe it myself but true

None of us believe it either.

Doni is leaving and will join Brazilian club Botafogo.

it is fact!


 

 

31 Jan 2013 14:00:08
Any news on Jay Spearing? Is anyone in for buying him? {Ed002's Note - He is out on loan.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 12:23:22
Hi Eds.

I get the feeling no more players will be coming in today but do you see any of the youngsters going out on loan? {Ed002's Note - Pacheco has gone - perhaps one more will.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 13:39:38
Sorry to bore you eds this my 1st time posting and I can't get this question out my head ! Have we EVER looked at Higuain because I think he would be amazing for us. Thanks for all the fantastic uve done its been brilliant and been very enjoyable for past year. All the best boys nice 1 ! Gary. {Ed002's Note - There was passing interest back in day Gary.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 13:26:48
Pacheco already off the books loaned out to spanish side


 

 

31 Jan 2013 13:00:27
hi eds you think any deals will be done today? {Ed002's Note - We'll see. But probably one or two outs I think.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 12:25:57
Hi all. I believe we are looking at the possibility of taking Diakite today on a six month loan paying all of his wages, he will then join on a free in the summer. Skrtel will be sold with those funds being used to push Ince deal over the line. Unfortunately no interest in any DM ie Diame or others.

Jason


Don't believe it, Jason. We won't sign anyone else today.
Lancelot


So basically they are giving him to us, in that logic. .
Mr. Jones


Mr Jones

He is on a free in the summer as out of contract. As Ed002 would say use the search engine!

Jason


Liverpool are done for January.


 

 

31 Jan 2013 12:16:12
ed according to ben smith a few out on loan and maybe one permanent deal for LFC. do you know who and will there be replacements for the permanent player.

And will we sell skrtel today and get ash williams, diakite or another CB.

please reply

thanks

wafa {Ed002's Note - Why not ask Ben Smith?}


Love Eds comment Lol


Haha ed002. you make this page man. .


Ashley Williams? You mean the almost 29 year old Williams who plays for Swansea? How many reasons we won't be signing him? Well firstly he's well outside the FSG age range for buying players. Secondly what makes you think with a cup final coming up Swansea would sell him?Thirdly why would he want to join us except for a massive wage hike?And finally he slagged off Suarez ruthlessly in his book. One deal that's a non-starter.

The Plank


31 Jan 2013 12:55:19
Hi,

Some sources say that we are still bidding/fighting to bring T. Ince in today, others say that Nothing is happening and that it just a normal uneventful Thursday at Melwood. .
Which is more likely?

Regard
Norwegian fan!


No he didn't check his twitter and stop talking crap. We are done for this window
and we will see how our new no. 10


 

 

31 Jan 2013 11:42:06
Hi Eds
Heard there are one or two loan deals being looked at today, not sure of names but I heard one was a big earner at his club as we have been negotiating for a couple of days on how much of his wages we'll pay, apparently this player is on £120,000 plus & were not prepared to pay it all, not sure who the other one is, I believe one is from this country & one from abroad. I've heard one final bid for Ince will be made, if rejected we'll wait until summer unless our hand is forced with another club bidding. Apparently there is no major concern if business is not done today as we're happy with business so far.


Wow! your inside knowledge is amazing! We might sign 1 or 2 players on loan but you don't know who they are but 1 is British and the other is a non Brit. And we might sign Ince now or wait till the next window. I wish I was an insider like you.

The Plank


I have no insider knowledge but if these loans come off I predict both maybe right footed but possibley left and I gaurentee they will be between 5 foot and 6 foot 5 inches tall only time will tell but i'm sure i'm right


Nostradamus !! Amateur compared to this. Any chance you could pick last weeks winning lottery numbers as well?


Literally a stab in the dark


 

 

31 Jan 2013 11:42:00
Hey Eds,

The Director of the football club Ismit Mirin plays for said that he has been in talks with 3 clubs. do you think Liverpool was one.

31 Jan 2013 11:36:44
Anzhi are going to make a 10m bid for Martin skrtel as a replacement for samba Liverpool will then bid for Ashley Williams.


�10m is insulting.

A.Williams is also insulting.

BigD


Ashley Williams who has publicly slated Suarez? ok


Totally agree with above. . 10M for Skrtel is a joke. . .

Do not want Williams anywhere near Anfield

jockred


No we won't bid for Williams!

The Plank


If Anzhi are to bid for Skrtel, then we should hijack QPR's deal for Samba.

Samba and Agger would make a quality partnership at the back!

All being said, but I would prefer Skrtel to stay above all!

Red Lee


Ignore that last comment. Samba has signed for QPR till 2017.

Red Lee


Skrtel is worth at least �20m why the hell are we trying to sell him? He is a class player.


Defenders don't fetch fees. Thiago Silva cost �12m for PSG (someone check that for me?), however, that was a MASSIVE coup.

If we got offered �15m for Skrtel, I'd take it. But only if we had a replacement in the works.

Redfellar


Swansea are better than Liverpool at the moment so why would williams make a step down? and silva and ibra went to psg for a combined fee of around 50 mil so you are wrong saying he went for 12 mil


 

 

31 Jan 2013 11:32:42
See we'll miss out on Mirin today.

Goodbye to yet another target.


How do you even know he was a target?


WOW so we are going to miss out on another Coates. Mirin is only 19 or 20, he will be no were near the starting 11. Need experience not future prospects.


Do we need him though is the realistic question you should ask yourself as we already have

Skrtel Agger
Carra Coates
Wisdom Kelly
Sama

BigD


How do you know he was a target? Cause the paper said so?


Goodbye to another target? Not happy enough with the two signings already?

Should imagine Liverpool would sell a defender to bring one in.


To be honest the Sturridge signing was owed from the pathetic summer fiasco final day. I think we could do with at least one more.


According to your logic any player we don't sign, even if we're not interested in him, means we've "missed out". This window that means we've missed out on hundreds of players. Should we have signed them all?

The Plank


It completely mad that people keep creating targets in their heads and then saying we've missed them. Unless you are part of the Liverpool scouting team, in which case please go and scout player instead of moaning on forums, please can we all stop this.


Do we have to buy every target ?

GET REAL


Funny on here, fans calling other fans for saying we missed out on them, maybe they are saying that because they are better than what we have already, samba would have been a great defender for us, but hey we never missed out on him because we were not in for a better player than what we have, we are leaking goals, which means the defence is not good enough, it does not matter who plays, we conceed goals, agger plays we, et goals in, sketal plays we let goals in carra plays we let goals in, the strikers are doing their job, by scoring goals then some of the midfield are playing well but the defnce is still letting goals in, you can add reina in that aswell

31 Jan 2013 10:57:07
Hello Eds,
are we interested in Modibo Diakate of Lazio ?
If so is it possible to get him on a pre-contract even after the transfer window closes ?
He would be an excellent replacement for Carra. {Ed002's Note - A pre-contract can be signed at anytime leading up to the end of teh season.}


 

 

31 Jan 2013 10:02:08
From a source inside Villa Liverpool are monitoring Aston Villa and where they finish this season and have been in contact with regard at looking at signing Ciaran Clark and Christain Benteke and have asked for first refusal if there relegated with Samed Yeşil and Conor Coady allowed to join Villa on loan for there promotion push


Aint hapening


How do you "monitor" where a team finishes? You just wait till the end of the season and look in a newspaper. Calling that "monitoring" is just using a fancy and un-necessary word. I'll bet Villa are pleased we're monitoring them and their players right now as they slide ever lower.

The Plank


As if that kind of elaborate deal would be drawn up on 31st Jan ready for a will it/won't it happen situation in the summer. So many factors could change between now and then. All those players could get injured or hit terrible form. Silly.

Gav


 

 

31 Jan 2013 09:59:14
Think we are done for Jan13. A lot of talk about more attacking options but I think we've got enough up top and out wide with Suarez, Sterling, Sturridge, Borini, Suso, Coutinho, Assaidi, Shelvey. I know some may not make it but got to give them some time. Need to focus on a centre back and a more physical stopper to play defensive midfield.


With the exception of Suarez/Sterling/Sturridge the others are not really good enough.


Borini! I'd cross him off your list barring a miraculous improvement in his form.

The Plank


 

 

31 Jan 2013 09:13:04
David Villa to sign today.This comes from a football agent {Ed002's Note - There remains a good chance that Villa will move today but to Liverpool, no.}


Mancity and arsenal are favourites. Shame it won't be Liverpool. I think 10million is a bargin. That's what am hearing arsenal have put bid in.


I'll be reaching for the tissues Pinky. But will you?

The Brain


Is this "football agent" of football manager by any chance


The Villa rumour has been around so long now its teeth have fallen out and it walks with a zimmer. We will never sign him.

The Plank


 

 

31 Jan 2013 08:58:23
I hope I am not right but I honestly believe that Suarez will be away in the summer if we do not qualify for the Champions League - probably to Bayern Munich. Hope I'm wrong.


Not saying he won't in any way, but why would Suarez move to Bayern? He wasn't interested in moving to Barca so I doubt Pep would be that big a draw for him at Barca either, even with the agent brother thing. . {Ed002's Note - Barcelona has not made any move for Suarez.}


You should read the new interview on LFC site.

31 Jan 2013 10:01:25
He will give us another season. He was truly touched by the support of the fans during his difficulties. He couldn't believe the fans sang his name during his ban. He wants to reward the fans for the loyalty shown. He signed a 6 year deal last October. He will give us another season, and if we fail again he will think about going. Even if he does go - he's never promised to stay like a certain spanish striker.


I reckon we'll be able to convince him to give us one more season

There has been promising signs of late - last nights game, 2nd half at United last week, should of beat city at the beginning of the season, Sturridge signing (although I think he needs more time to get match fit)

If FSG show there commitment and bring in 2 or 3 quality players in the summer I think we'll get another season out of him (by quality I don't necessarily mean that they need to cost top dollar - just make the right sort of impact on the team / squad)


You mean it was not his dream as a child to be beaten by Oldham in the FA Cup. . I am shocked ! Yvonne


I would suspect if an offer is made in the 40M+ range he'll be off. Just my opinion of course.

Listening to the comments fromAyre following the signing of Coutinho, it sounded very much like all our work is done in this window. I am far from disappointed, Sturridge is a very good signing in my mind, haven't seen much of the Cout and reserve judgement until he has had plenty of game time.
Well done last night, I have always though Hendo was a good player and he is improving under BR.


Really good positive post! I totally agree but think the summer will be interesting as our building continues.


Hendo was shocking last night as per usual, because he scored that's him improving, his final decision is so poor, reading of the game poor, we need it now not when he's older or with in game time, shelvey is the only your British talent we got that's good for a run out, scores, assists, tackles etc.


All opinions are welcome and I understand what you say about Hendo, I see some good things - but not everything he does is golden I admit.
As for the poster saying I was positive, thank you and it is good to see you sharing the same optimism I have. FSG have outlayed 20 mil this window, a lot of money I personally feel.


I think hendo was brilliant last night night and he has been improving alot. before people start getting on his back they should remember we have the likes of allen who is awful and should never have been signed another signing like charlie adam


I thought Hendo got into good space well but lacked confidence or maybe incisiveness in how he exploited the opportunities created. I think he performs better a little deeper than he played last night.


We always play better when hendo is playing with stevie than Allan I thought he had a good game

Hi Eds.

Any updates on players leaving at all, especially Coates?

Would personally love him to stay, in time I believe he will be a better pair with Agger.

Cheers,

knightza AU {Ed002's Note - There has to be a chance of a loan for Coates - an acceptable offer to buy today seems unlikely.}

Eds, not Liverpool related but involves a player we're regularly linked with. Just saw Phil McNulty saying Everton have made a bid for Alvaro Negredo, although time is very tight for them to work everything out. Have you guys heard anything? {Ed002's Note - There is every chance Negredo could move today but I would think that Everton would struggle to meet the valuation Sevilla put on the player.}


I think Sevilla want �13m but Everton only have �8-9m to spend and are trying to barter them down,

strong rumour flyin around the away end tonight sayin skrtle and rodgers had 2 be pulled apart after the oldham game because rodgers over looked skrtle and gave suarez the captaincy . question for ed002 do you still stick by your word that you think ince will sign in this window ? . . . the chef ynwa jft96 {Ed002's Note - I rather doubt I gave "my word" that Ince would definately sign. Liverpool certainly would like to sign Ince still.}


James Pearce said yesterday that BR gave Skrtel a bollocking, Skrtel was not happy as you would expect but there was no falling out, Skrtel knows his form has dropped and BR is looking for a reaction rather like Downing, Enrique and Henderson have given him, a positive one. any talk of a fall out is wide of the mark according to James Pearce

I've been reading most post daily and also reading ed's comments and to be fair most of you all said ince was a done deal. What went wrong? he would get first team football under BR fairplay not every game but surely he can see liverppol fc is his home and he would be loved. {Ed002's Note - I have never said it is a "done deal".}


First replier. .brilliant comment. .that's exactly how I've read the situation and don't see anything other than a manager trying to manage players and their form.

To be fair to Ed002, s/he only ever said "I still think a deal can be done for Ince". .we undoubtedly want him but Blackpool simply don't have to sell. Oyston is a rule to himself but he could teach several directors/owners/club chairmen a thing or two about successfully running a club. .and if Ince continues his form for the rest of this season he will fetch a ridiculous price in the summer.

Eds I'm told we've been interested in Adam Maher is this correct?

Chris in Tamworth {Ed002's Note - Last year Hamburg, Leicester, West Ham, Augsburg and Manchester City enquired about Adam Maher. There were also unsubstantiated rumours of interest from Arsenal a little while back, but nothing from Liverpool.}

what this about a late bid for diakite around the 1 million mark seems like a bargain is it true??

Becca


Both Modibo Diakité and Fernando Amorebieta are free transfers in the Summer, I think. So i'd be tempted to get them both now for a few mill each, I don't know the financial situation of the club so, obviously this would be in the ideal scenario.

Diakite reminds me of Richards when he plays centre back, very strong upper body strength and very quick. Although I watched him mainly last season with my Roman flat mate who has since gone back to Italy, so I don't bother with Lazio much any more but neither does Diakite from reading that he's been frozen out somewhat this season.

Fernando Amorebieta has everything, sad thing is that includes a very nasty and violent streak. He is a liability, 18 yellow cards and 3 reds last season, because he's very flaky and likes the physical afters. If he stopped that crap, he'd be excellent, he's 27, so not as young as some people seem to think, but he's very good other than kicking and lashing out after the balls been played etcetera.
