In reply to Ed001's
{Ed001's Note - it is very possible he will leave, unfortunately for him he will never achieve his ambitions with Liverpool.
How can you say he won't achieve his ambitions at the reds, he is still very young for a goalie and who's to say what liverpool could do next season with some good signings.
Liverpool could push teams next season it just depends on players arriving in the summer, so its not impossible?, it all depends on the summer transfers. .

P.S The eds do a good job, but in the few years i have been reading this site its only been macca's info that have been spot on 9 times out of 10. . .
Pete-H {Ed001's Note - because his ambition is to be Spain's number one keeper, it wouldn't matter how well he played the number one for Spain will always play in Spain.}

Iv heard from my brother at Aston villa who works in an admin role but has close contact with McAllister that LFC have placed a bid to start the ball rolling for a massive £25m Double deal in the summer for Ashley Young and suprisingly Barry Bannan as Kenny rates the pair highly to be honest I dunno if it will go through but initial enquireys have been made!

Your source should then be able to confirm that two bids were made for the player. An unacceptable bid from Inter Milan and a bid that came from Chelsea. The discussions that Chelsea had in Monaco with Udinese were significantly more than "tentative".

I fear that the Udinese owner will continue to raise the price and reject all offers through the summer transfer window.

This is almost accurate. Udinese received an enquiry from 3 teams, chelsea, inter and juve. They dismissed Juve enquiry as its well documented they can't even afford new toilet roll for players lounge.

Udinese are very good negotiators and gave both chelsea and inter a price. Neither team made an official offer for this price and instead tried to haggle. Udinese did not budge and hence as such no actual bid was placed or rejected.

Sorry missed this, Pozzo stated in january a ridiculous fee in the region of £35 million, not to drive people away but to keep him until summer as they feel they can make a decent push for a good league postion and then let him go in summer. He will still drive that price up though. . just his way.

Ed is Reina likely to leave in the summer, and if so who is likely or would you like to replace him? {Ed001's Note - it is very possible he will leave, unfortunately for him he will never achieve his ambitions with Liverpool. For starters it is impossible to be Spain's No. 1 with us, Real Madrid and Barca players are always favoured. I don't actually know who we are looking at, unfortunately when you talk to people who have info they are too busy talking about the exciting players, I don't like to press them too hard for info because I don't want it to feel like I am talking to them purely to pump them for info. Personally I would go for De Gea, Adler, Neuer or Asenjo myself, depending on the results of medical tests on Asenjo as he has suffered injury problems in the past.}

 

 

 

09 Mar 2011 18:12:35
ED. . do you think gerrard will leave in the summer? ?
if yes will it be real madrid?? i don't want him to go myself. but if he wants to go then we should maybe do swap for him.who would you take from them that would fit into lfc.the best? ?maybe sergio canales plus money or kaka or alonso or di'maria maybe some1 else what do you think and what is the chance's that these player.
redbudd. . . {Ed002's Note - I don't expect him to leave in the summer. There is nothing to suggest that he will. If he did leave I would not expect him to move to Real Madrid. Swaps are pretty rare.}

Plz plz plz plz plz plz plz can you give us any updates on transfers plz plz plz macca the legend

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

Im not Macca but I can give you an update on transfers.

Benzema, Young, Adam and Marveaux will sign.

We want a DM to replace Poulsen and M'Vila has been identified as the man to do so.

We want a LB to replace Konchesky, we are very interested in Enrique, Baines, and Izaguirre.

We want a winger to replace Maxi, big interest in Payet, Dszdudszak and Turan. However Turan has not been watched for a while due to injuries hence the Ed's saying its unlikely a deal for Turan will be struck.

We may, just may get another striker as KK wants another one but 8 signings may be too much work. We are interested in Gervinho, Hoarau and one other striker but I can't remember his name, Ed, do you know who it may be?

{Ed006's Note - No idea}

"I totally agree , apperently sources from italy say the bid has actually come from us , what a signing that would be and a big big statement from nesv as well , lets just hope and keep our fingers crossed , surely udinese would have to accept £30m bid ed? {Ed001's Note - I still think it is more likely it is Chelsea that will buy him, they definitely spoke to Udinese about him in January.}
- - - - - - - - - -
ED001 is spot on. It is chelski bidding, the reason the team has not been made public is because no english club has made an official approach. Chelsea held tentative talks in Jan but made no bid. Now the bean counters in Udine decided a good strategy would be to create a faux auction (with chelsea being the only real bidder) in order to ram the price up.
My info is straight from Udine, I have a well placed source there."

Have the Fernando Gago rumours got any legs?

He would be a quality signing for us!

 

 

 

09 Mar 2011 17:20:55
Also heard from a very good source 2day a deal to sign Elia in the summer has been agreed!

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

Nah we don't want him, we want Payet, Turan, Dzsdudszak, Gervinho for the forward wing position

Yo so ed, i know how many times u've gone over the suarez europa league thing! But hes included in the squad for braga? Any knowledge on the situation? Cheers
Willster :) {Ed001's Note - he has travelled with the squad, he would have had to be registered with UEFA to be able to play and he was not in the squads list, here is the squad page in full: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/clubs/club=7889/index.html}

Rumours. . .

I have it on good info that we are very interested in M'Vila, Enrique, Baines, Sissoko, Turan, Dszdudszak, Gervinho, Izaguirre, Payet and Hoarau (only if Kuyt is shifted to the right but I doubt that as hes shocking there, and hes proven why he should be playing upfront)

We are definitely in the market for a DM, a LB, and a RW/ LW to add to the signings of Adam, Young, Benzema and Marveaux.

 

 

 

09 Mar 2011 17:13:16
Hi Ed,

How has Luis Suarez been named in squad to face Braga I thought he was ineligible?

Also heard from a very good source 2day a deal to sign Elia in the summer has been agreed! {Ed001's Note - he travelled with the squad, he wasn't named in it as such.}

 

 

 

09 Mar 2011 17:03:36
Im seeing a pattern forming an it is very interesting, the sanchez rumours are becoming more frequent as did the suarez ones and the ed is is dismissing it as just that, as he did with the suarez ones

whereas i personally don't think he'll come, i do think its possible for him or an equally good player will come out of the blue, nesv are going about there buisness in a very prefessional way an its pleasing that they are, we won't kno anything untill they want us to, which makes it frustrating, nail-biting an exciting for all us keyboard merchants who love this site

keep up the great work eds i think we're in for a great summer wudnt you agree ? {Ed001's Note - I certainly think we will be in for a good summer, we finally have some decent owners to build a team.}

 

 

 

09 Mar 2011 16:49:58
Cant completely confirm this yet but. .

Udinese have enquired about the availability of Valencia of Man Utd and also another young winger from bundesliga. .not sure who yet.

ED according to many things I have read (sportingo , goal , caughtoffside and many more!) Liverpool are the club that made a 35m pound bid for Alexis Sanchez! ED surely if we had Sanchez we would have the best attacking line in the league! I know it seens unlikely but we have to remember we have KK as manager and are a team on the up! So don't be surprised if we are linked with big name players that cost a lot of money because we also have very good owners that will invest in the team! Your thoughts ED? {Ed001's Note - Sanchez was one of the two players I most wanted us to sign in January, he is still one of the players I would most like. I can't see United affording him now, which does give us a very real chance of signing him.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
so to ED 001 .
2 questions for you if that's ok !
1.what chance do you think we have of getting him ?
2.do you think WE DID make a bid for ?
cheers ED! {Ed001's Note - I think we have a very good chance, he seems to favour a move to England. But no I don't believe it was us who bid for him unfortunately.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ed did Udinese just receive a bid or was it rejected too ? {Ed001's Note - as far as I can find out they received no formal bids for him, but they did hold very serious talks with Chelsea. It seems that now those talks have hit a few potholes in the road they are trying to put pressure on Chelsea.}

There is no bid from Liverpool. Its udinese trying to create an auction and drive the price up on chelsea (who are going to lodge an official bid in the not too distant future)

"I am a big fan of steven gerrard, i hope he doesn't go but if he goes i would like Diego, Juventus
or Yoann Gourcuff, Bordeaux to replace gerrard. what do you all thing."

Gourcuff moved to Lyon in the Summer for 22m euros, about £17m, Good price for Lyon. I highly doubt he'll be moving on the summer.

. . and Diego moved to Wolfsburg last year sometime. . that was very old news. Try to keep up. since then been fined failing to follow instructions. I thought everyone knew that? You don't. .

So both names you incredibly got all information wrong. . smells like a Man Utd fan to me. . no knowledge of the game.

Rumours I've heard are:

Linked to Roma striker Mirko Vucinic and potentially involved in a three way battle for highly-rated Ivory Coast striker Gervinho. Also looking at Fernando Gago who I personally don't think we need. We don't need any more mercenary Argentinians and finally a player, nicknamed 'La Pantera' (the panther), Lucas Barrios of Borussia Dortmund.

PS. Hope you're all still rejoicing at the weekends game. Still celebrating that. Shame Ferguson's silence to the media has sort of distracted everyone from what a brilliant beat-down we gave them.

 

 

 

09 Mar 2011 15:41:03
Alright Eds! Just been thinking a bit about a the squad and with how many look likely to leave, how many people to do you think we will sign to replace them? By what I've read its likely that 8 of our first team players that play some part will be leaving (maxi, poulsen, soto, ngog, aurelio, skrtel and dare I say it gerrard and riena), which that doesn't include the cling ons like degen, jovanavic, el zhar and insua. I expect a clear out but are gonna replace all that will leave? If so who we gonna get?

Dan The Man {Ed001's Note - we are looking to bring in replacements for first team players that leave, but it is hard to say right now who will be the chosen few to join. The likelihood is that Adam, Young and Marveaux will have their January deals completed in the summer. Other than that it would be guesswork because we are watching so many, though Hoarau, Gervinho, M'Vila and Payet are ones that I have definite info of a very real interest in them.}

REDSNEWS,
Assistants to mike mcglynn have been watching celtic left-back , izaguirre a bid of around 6m should secure his services in the summer. By all accounts the reports for kenny and the backroom staff have ticked all the right boxes. And we are willing to make paul konchelsky part of the deal to get our problem position filled , we have struggled in this area for a while. There will be competition from other premiership sides but we will hope to push this transfer through because of kennys connections with the glasgow club. SCOUSERED

"I am a big fan of steven gerrard, i hope he doesn't go but if he goes i would like Diego, Juventus

Gourcuff moved to Lyon in the Summer for 22m euros, about £17m, Good price for Lyon. I highly doubt he'll be moving on the summer.

Hi Ed,

What is our position with respect to ARDA TURAN?

Looks like our interest in him is cooling down which makes me really upset.

If we don't get him and if he lands up in Chelsea, our scouts/ director etc will certainly regret for missing out on a highly skilled and gifted player who had openly said that he wanted to join us.

{Ed002's Note - It seems that interest in the player has cooled considerably. However, don't forget that he was not for sale in January but will be in the summer. Then we will see if the club have any remaining thoughts about bring Arda to Anfield.}

 

 

 

09 Mar 2011 02:36:36
Ed. .Turkish fanatik.ekolay.net website allegedly Arda Turan in Chelsea . Player himself confirmed but did not say exactly what team.

 

 

 

09 Mar 2011 01:11:53
Hi eds, another one from me, sorry.

IF Gerrard went to RM and he wanted the move and nothing would change his mind I would like to see Khedira come our way as he is a class player and could do the def mid work. Kaka would be a dream come true but would be a straight swap, Khedira would mean we get the player and cash. What do you think?

{Ed005's Note - I really can't see Khedira leaving. Mourinho was responsible for bringing him in to Real Madrid and he seems to think highly of him - and the fact that he doesn't like Alonso would prompt him to keep hold of Khedira. If Gerrard decides to leave, we should go for someone young. I would look at Banega or Martinez would be my first-choices.}

 

 

 

09 Mar 2011 00:50:15
Hey ed, may guts are rising with these gerrard leaving rumours, as torres left, it gave a very slight chance of gerrard leaving too! I hope he would think of kk and liverpool and not leave! But if he's really living then i know for a fact that there's a man in spain that would be very intrested in him and that would be jose mourinho. Right ed? {Ed005's Note - No-one is saying that Gerrard is leaving for definate but it simply can't be ruled out. It would be hard to say whether Mourinho is interested - he has Kaka, Oezil, Alonso, Khedira and others for his midfield. There has been suggestions that he doesn't want Alonso, and Kaka has been linked with a move away so perhaps one or both of these players could make room for someone.}
