Hi Eds,

I appreciate this sounds like a stupid question, but please don't shoot me down.
What are the chances that Ibrahimovich would come to Liverpool?

Would he be way out of our budget? Would Rodgers want him?
Would Ibra want to come to Liverpool?

I am curious, that is all.

hi eds,

is james milner free at the end of the season, if so do we have any interest in him because i would love to have him in our team

Believable6 Unbelievable12

{Ed002's Note - His contract expires at the end of the season - I am not aware of interest.}

Thanks for the reply ed, its a pity there is no interest because to me he is a quality player who can play in different positions and has a good work rate and is better than a lot of the players we have now

Agree2 Disagree0

I agree. He's not the best in the world but, his versatility makes up for that. Also, he's better than some of the crap we currently have.

Question for Ed002,

rumor that i read said PSG is shopping Lucas Moura to various teams, Liverpool being one, because of FFP. I was assuming the transfer would be at a discount to what they paid, 35.2MM pounds according to transfermarket.com? Does selling someone at a loss really help a team like PSG in FFP? I would have thought realizing a loss would actually hurt for FFP purposes, but maybe saving salary etc makes it worthwhile?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

{Ed002's Note - I rather suspect someone has jumped the gun in respect of Moura being "offered" to Liverpool. As for FFP, it is nothing to do with taking a loss - it is related to the sanctions that some of the clubs, including PSG, are under.}

Ed's, are Liverpool interested in Winston Reid of West Ham and/or Jan Vertonghen of Tottenham Hotspur? Thanks.

Believable7 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - yes but only in terms of picking them up on a free.}

Interesting response Ed001. Is Vertonghens contact also finished in the summer? Is another overhaul of defensive personnel on they cards? Regardless of whether there is a fee or not that's comes a point when the club must suspect that the defensive issues don't solely lie with the players considering we have nite started our 3 season of progressively worsening defending

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - not yet on Vertonghen, another year, but he is refusing to discuss a new deal.}

Do u know why Brendan wants more CBs Ed001? Has he not figured out maybe he is the reason behind the team's defensive woes? If Reid did sign, whose place would he take considering we already have 5 CBs at the club?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Vertonghen would also provide cover at left back, hence the interest in him. Neither make sense to me though, but the club are always on the look out for players to improve it.}

Thanks ed001! So would we be interested in Reid more as his contract expires at the end of the season?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - yes.}

What do u make of Reid as a player Ed001? Is he even an improvement on what we already have? I have a lump in my throat thinking Sakho will be first in the firing line for a new CB because Brendan just does not like players who can actually defend.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I am not that big of a fan personally. I have watched him a lot and not convinced he has the quality to step up a level. I think West Ham have improved massively in the attack and midfield this season, they now need to improve their defence, Reid being one I would look to replace personally. I just don't see the quality on the ball to cope with European football, nor the out and out defensive abilities of a Carragher. He just isn't that level in my opinion.}

Any other suitors for Reid?
As a kiwi hope we get him. He's a ripper in my opinion, quality addition if signed. Played brilliantly at the WC in 2010.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Everton, Arsenal, Hamburg.}

Cheers Ed002
I couldn't handle him moving to Everton!

Eds is it fair to assume that Balotelli has played his last game for Liverpool? With Brendan opening his mouth again it seems that he is trying to get ahead of this outcome. Also if he is finished at Liverpool is it possible he will be sold and a replacement brought in during January or will it wait until the summer? Thanks for any insight.

Believable7 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - impossible to say, no idea if there are injury problems going to arise in the next few weeks or so. Rodgers would certainly prefer not to play him.}

So we only have one striker, according to Rogers.

Agree0 Disagree0

At the risk of perhaps stating this obvious, is Rodgers simply reluctant to play him because of his lack of effort / goalscoring or are off the field issues with him coming into the equation as well?

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi eds, is there any possibility of signing Napoli's Marek Hamsik? Great player and absolute beast in my opinion. Thanks.

Believable10 Unbelievable1

{Ed001's Note - not likely in January.}

Ed001, would it be possible to sign him in the summer(Marek Hamsik)? Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - far too soon to say.}

I really like Marek but I think he doesn't fit into BPL. He should stay in Serie A. It doesn't look like a good deal, neither for Liverpool nor for Marek.

Agree0 Disagree0
