If it is M'Vila, he's got a long connection to get to Kazan!

Is there anything on Axel Witsel? The presence we need next to Lucas?

Believable4 Unbelievable33

{Ed002's Note - No.}

Hi Eds, first time post here. I know we've had previous interest for Yann M'Vila during the summer and I've noticed a couple of articles today implying that we have reignited this interest after comments from the player's agent. If he had been granted his apparent long term wish of playing in the Premier League (In particular for Liverpool, having been spotted at the Merseyside Derby in November), would a move for him be likely in this transfer window?
I haven't seen much of him but from what I hear he is a big presence in the middle of the pitch with great technique and an engine that never stops running. Cheers!

Believable14 Unbelievable10

{Ed002's Note - M'Vila remains of interest to Napoli and Everton. The previous interest of Fenerbahce seems to have waned. If Liverpool or any other EPL club wishes to move for him he would be interested in a move. Spurs were interested previously but moved for others. Newcastle have had a look as well. There is a certain amout of baggage that comes with him.}

He won't be flying in by Ryanair then!

Agree5 Disagree0

09 Jan 2014 18:30:00
El Shaarawy stories seem to have ended, he's not going anywhere I presume then, now?
And the same with Pastore?
Should I just R.T.P.s or any update of a sort?

Believable2 Unbelievable10

{Ed002's Note - I would not rule out a move by El Shaarawy in January, but Liverpool has shown no interest.

Pastore may well be moving next summer - and it is possible that PSG will let him leave in January if a suitable bid is made or if an offer of a loan and guaranteed playing time is possible. PSG will play hard-ball over him - I can't figure out why.}

09 Jan 2014 17:48:10
Hi Eds, not Twitter related or similar you'll be pleased to hear, but I remember reading on here late last year that Suarez had recommended a young 17 year old Uruguayan striker. Can you remember who this was and have any of you heard if there was any substance to it and likeliness to bid.

Thank you,

Bryan

Believable6 Unbelievable7

{Ed002's Note - I am not sure but my guess would be Kevin Mendez who was raised as a possible future option by a guy who works part time for Caniggia. The club may well have asked Suarez about him but I am not sure how close he would be to teenage players on another continent. I am not aware of anything right now.}

The Ed is right, it was Mendez. Looks a talented kid, but a work permit would be impossible at the moment. He was born in Trinidad and brought up in Uruguay and has been scouted by Barca, Real, Juve, both Milan clubs, Palermo, Udinese, Porto as well as a host of German/East European names who I couldn't be bothered spelling.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2014 17:34:01
seen a lot of reports linking us with jorginho just wondering if we fail to sign salah could he be another option

Believable5 Unbelievable8

{Ed002's Note - Sounds like an old story but Liverpool would need to act quickly as he could have moved on by the end of the weekend.}

Where to?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Fiorentina.}

09 Jan 2014 17:31:22
Hi eds what's the latest on Danny ings? Are we interested and is he a player who can play all across the frontline and is he ready for the step up?

Believable6 Unbelievable13

{Ed002's Note - Try the Burnley page.}

09 Jan 2014 16:17:49
Edd001, do.you know what clubs have interest IN Ryan Guald, the scottish youngster. he's a terrific young player with.the.best close ball control I've seen for many a year at his age. Have you seen him yourself mate?

Believable5 Unbelievable3

{Ed001's Note - I haven't seen him myself, but I know Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, Stoke, Spurs, Cardiff, Swansea and Barca have all had scouts look at him. I have been told that they were expecting an offer from a top half Prem team in January, but that it would have to be huge to make them consider a sale right now. Not sure who the team is that they were expecting an offer from though.}

Man U said to be interested but my expectation is everton. we will probably be interested when he is worth 10m!

Agree0 Disagree0

Daniel, I bet your one of the ones who was upset we didn't bid more for Dempsey or Eriksen? Or gets upset we're constantly buying kids for the future rather than marquee 1st teamers right. Do you actually like LFC or do you just think you know better than the entire scouting team, chief exec and manager?

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Jan 2014 12:35:17
Even eds,

Hearing a rumor that Luis Suarez has told the Liverpool board to "try there best to sign Luis Muriel". How true i'd this? I remember us being linked with him in the summer but you said there was permit problems or something. Would be a great signing if it could happen.

Cheers, JD

Believable5 Unbelievable33

{Ed002's Note - Let me guess, Twitter. There was plenty of interest in Luis Muriel over the summer but none from Liverpool. How would Suarez even know Muriel? Even the Liverpool board are not dumb enough to let Suarez start dictating transfer policy. Unless they asked who would he think could replace him in the summer?}

Suarez also thought Coates would be a good signing.

Agree1 Disagree1

09 Jan 2014 15:44:46
Wow sounds like Ed has pulled out his record from last season and got it stuck again

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - We should have a little poll to see who agrees with you that Suarez is now deciding on transfer targets. Thank god he is not bigger than the club. Cretin.}

I for one agree with ed here come on people are you really that deluded that something on twitter being passed around is real?

Agree2 Disagree1

09 Jan 2014 16:40:37
Please explain" EVEN the Liverpool Board are not dumb enough?" The reason you get sarcastic replies Ed02 is your condescending replies . There is no need to chastise people. You need to grow up. Its only a game!

Mark

Agree4 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - Another coward scared to sign in. You believe Twitter over everything else and then get pissed and disappointed when it doesn't come true - and you think the board should take the advice of a player who has been going out of his way to leave the club for buying a new striker? Suck it up, Muriel will not be joining in January - if he is, it will be as a replacement for Suarez. What a joke and embarrassment you make of yourselves.}

Ed002, I have a huge amount of respect for you dealing with all the posters on here and dedicating so much of your time to the site.

However, it is posts like these that you often come out with these days making other posters hesitant from contributing to the site.

The site is a rumours site and JamesD clearly says 'hearing a rumour', you then proceed to bite his head off and go on a rant which frankly had nothing to do with the original post. I remember the days when "Ronaldinho was spotted in John Lennon airport carrying Pele's bags who was on the verge of signing a nice year deal with Liverpool". that's what was so great about the site, everyone could voice what they heard in the pub on the grapevine.

Nowadays if the post isn't in accordance with your knowledge then the poster instantly shot down making other readers think twice about ever posting.

I understand that you deal with a lot of livestock on here with their abuse towards you but JamesD only asked a question, which ok you may think is complete garbage but i'm not sure your response was entirely warranted.

But hey, everyone has bad days and says things that they don't mean ;)

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The problem ToonRed is that people are bring all of the trash from Twitter here and asking me to validate it. It is a complete waste of my time. If the fans truly think the club has elevated Suarez to the point where he is advising the board on transfers, then fine (is he doing the scouting and negotiation as well?). But don't grizzle when the fans become a complete laughing stock. I don't want to be answering questions about nonsense on Twitter anymore than I want to be answering questions about Liverpool's interest in some 42 year old Peruvian player who has reached the status of "Left Midfield Warlord" on some fantasy football game.

Finally JamesD is a long-time poster and asks decent questions and often gets beautifully crafted answers. In this case he got a little carried away - a bit like getting the munchies after your first reefer of the day - and tried to see if he could get one of the many more gullible Eds who also believe in Twitter bringing Nirvana to all. Sadly his quest remains unfulfilled.

I can only pose this question to you: Who is more foolish - the one who milks the billy-goat, or the one who catches the milk with a sieve?}

Is right ed spot on lad

Agree0 Disagree0

The one with the sieve 100% ed002 we no why the other one is really milking the goat

Agree1 Disagree0

'Even the Liverpool board are not dumb enough'
ED002, with all due respect, you simply didn't need to have a go at Liverpool in your reply. I really hope it was not intentional.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - If you are not agreeing with me then I assume you think they are dumb enough to make Suarez transfer guru?}

ED002, I agree with you 100% and I have a lot of respect for you and therefore, would not want to get into an argument with you knowing that, I stand little or no chance against you with my very limited inside knowledge. I'm merely stating that, your reply kinda sounded like "Liverpool board are really dumb, but even they aren't dumb enough". I'm sure you did not mean it that way.

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - We'll figure out where they are on the "dumbness scale" at some point.}

You don't have to answer every question ed.
If rumours from twitter piss you off so much, then maybe just don't respond?
You always have a pop at Suarez, and us in general, but there wasn't really any need here.
Don't know why you're so passionate about Luis or the Reds, when a. They have nothing to do with the team you 'support' and b. You don't even care about football anyway?
Defo agree that you are hugely condescending far too often, but if anyone has any sort of thing to say back, you can't take it.
I massively appreciate the work all the eds so, and you have made this a brilliant page no doubt.
But, without people posting and contributing, the page wouldn't be anywhere near as good.
You also seem obsessed with Liverpool fans coming across as 'embarrassments' etc, but we don't really care what any other clubs or their fans think about us.
If you want to change alliances, and support the mighty, just say, we'll accept you!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I remain astonished so many of the fans are fighting this and clearly believe that Suarez (who is not "bigger than the club" but will have a bumper new deal in the summer if he doesn't leave) will be dictating transfer dealings and telling Liverpool to buy a player who, I would think, he will have close to zero knowledge about. I am still getting a lot of abuse for daring to question Macca about his "Salah is done" statement. I am still getting abuse about Tello - who I assume has already arrived at Liverpool on a loan to buy deal. A very large number of the posters take the hundreds of little snippets of nonsense that they find on Twitter or wherever and expect me to provide some form of rationale about it being true or not - do you think that reasonable? Then I get brain-dead morons like you who contribute nothing whatsoever to this site who want to get on the bandwagon and complain about those who do make the effort to keep it going. Everything I have provided has been correct as far as I have known at the time - but I appreciate your inability to deal with the truth.}

10 Jan 2014 10:51:35
I doubt Suarez ever went direct to the board as the 'rumour' suggests, but I expect it happens a lot, that a player goes to the manager or first team coach asking if a certain person is being looked at!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea who you is or who "Phil" is. You are not a registered user and signed in - so they won't get posted.}

09 Jan 2014 12:53:36
Ed's and fellow Reds compliments of the season and all the best with the year ahead.
Thanks for keeping us LFC fans in the know and providing us with your resourceful information.
Any chance of a loan deal for PSG's Lucas Moura?. I feel he has the ability to become a great player and that Brendan can add a bit more tactical awareness to his game. your thoughts are always appreciated.

Believable3 Unbelievable9

{Ed001's Note - I don't think there is any chance sorry.}

09 Jan 2014 13:24:14
Posting after a long time! Anyway Ed001, what are your thoughts about Asier Illaramendi? And also some tabloids are linking us with Adam Lallana. Mostly BS but would like your opinion. Comments welcome.

Cheers

Believable0 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - looks a very good player, though I am not sure he was the player Madrid needed to buy. Not sure why you mentioned him, there is little to no chance of him moving to us. Pretty much the same with Lallana, who we have tried to buy a number of times previously.}

Just wanted to know your opinion mate!

Cheers

Ryan McLaughlin has joined Barnsley on an initial 28 day youth loan.

Believable27 Unbelievable8

Hope the lad does well an gets a chance at a good run of games at a decent level

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2014 10:44:08
Ed's.I'm lead to believe we may be looking at Jucilei on the cheap from Anzhi. Quality player, have you heard anything in regards to him?

Believable8 Unbelievable13

{Ed002's Note - RTP.}

RTP = Real time transfer?

Agree0 Disagree2

I meant real-time transport (transfer) protocol

Agree1 Disagree1

Hello Ed's, just curious what you meant by RTP? It's got me baffled?

Agree0 Disagree0

eds if we are infact interested morata and Montoya what chance have we got of getting them over arsenal without the lure of ucl

Believable4 Unbelievable16

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal are in discussions over Morata and need only to convince him of playing time. Agreement has been reached with his club.}

Ed002 do you think Liverpool will look to get morata on a loan to buy deal?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - It'll be tough.}

Are Arsenal trying to buy or loan him ed

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Loan.}

Ed do Real have a replacement lined up? Can't see them getting through the rest of the season with just one senior centre forward.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The argument is that Jese will stay. But I agree it will not be easy and could drag on.}

09 Jan 2014 08:07:39
Is there any interest in Domenico Criscito of Zenit eds?

Believable3 Unbelievable8

{Ed002's Note - Fiorentina have held discussions about Criscito and Napoli may also be interested.

09 Jan 2014 01:29:02
