Ed am i right in thinking our interest for attacking options is in
heung min son(very difficult)
Aubameyang
Ings(lots of clubs too choose from)
Vela
Lacazette is going nowhere and vietto is wanted by too many big clubs.
{Ed002's Note - Right now it is something like this for the players that I understand have been looked at:
Ings - every chance this will go through
Vietto - talking to Atletico Madrid regarding replacing Griezmann
Heung Min Son (I suspect it would be very difficult to make happen as he seems very happy where he is and will be playing in the Champions League)
Carlos Vela (looked at recently but nothing more)
Aubameyang (looked at and there may be interest from Liverpool - he is keen on a move to Italy but the most interested side, Juventus, are now out of the running)
Gameiro (his stock is on the rise but Liverpool have had no recent contact (according to a representative of another interested club))
Baez (an update from last night - Liverpool have been told to say if they are still interested in Baez or not - and if they are to make an offer which is much improved over that offered to Juventud previously as there is growing interest from other clubs and they need to make their mind up)
Kishna (all English interest has gone or never materialised according to De Boer)
Lacazette (another English side met with Lyon about Lacazette and a number of other issues on April 9 and any move this summer, particularly to England, is not viable right now)
Firmino (he will most probably move to another English side who have had discussions with his club and put a couple of offers on the table)
Depay (moving elsewhere)
Bakkali (interest will have gone)
Andre Ayew (a free agent who Liverpool enquired about last summer - no obvious interest right now but it may return)
Walcott (if Sterling were to leave then a move for Walcott may be considered)
Cheryshev (if Sterling were to leave then a move for Cheryshev may be considered)
I would not be surprised if Liverpool looked at Higuain if he became available at the right price. Jese may well be available on loan - perhaps he could be considered?}

Ed if we were to bring aubameyang ings and say vela would they all depend on sterlings sale as i don't believe we have the funds
{Ed002's Note - That is not going to be happening.}
14 May 2015 18:33:30
Where is Frimino going?
{Ed002's Note - Manchester City in all probability.}
14 May 2015 18:39:48
How many of these players would be affordable ed?
{Ed002's Note - I have no interest in getting in to that.}
14 May 2015 18:43:45
Ed2 what other positions are Liverpool priority in the summer?
{Ed002's Note - Give me a break - I have answered over and over where I know of interest.}
14 May 2015 18:48:27
Ok ed aslong as its not benteke.
14 May 2015 19:09:05
Ed O2 you mentioned jese do you mean are real Madrid? Don't know much about him.
{Ed002's Note - Yes, Jese Rodriguez is again going to seek assurances about playing time that I am not so sure Real Madrid will agree to. On the basis of this he has said he may be forced to leave the club. Completely recovered from his crutiate injury Lazio, Inter, Milan and Bayer Leverkusen have made clear their interest in signing the player and Aston Villa, Napoli, Malaga, West Ham United and Everton have all shown an interest in taking him on loan - which will be more palatable to Real Madrid as they are moving in to a potentially difficult period regarding transfers (with a possible ban looming). Interest from Chelsea is dependent upon what happens elsewhere with interest in players.}
14 May 2015 19:12:31
Ed do you think Napoli would be willing to sell Higuain?
{Ed002's Note - PSG may look to Higuain if Cavani is sold and Benzema not available. Arsenal may turn to Higuain as an option if they cannot bring in their first choice. And Manchester United may consider Higuain again. If Liverpool had achieved Champions League football he may have been a player they would look to - and perhaps they could still. It is not out of the question that he could stay at Napoli to see how he gets on post Benitez.}

Fantastic summary Ed, and very much appreciated.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
14 May 2015 19:26:35
This is a brilliant response, cheers Ed
14 May 2015 20:03:50
Cheers ed

Great response cheers for taking the time to go into so much depth. Could you just explain to me about the transfer committee and how much money Liverpool have and exactly who will be managing them next year and where they will finish in the league.
Just kidding, go have a beer or two or whatever your favourite tipple is you deserve it!
