Ed you have already stated to me in a previous post that the clubs in don't hang on Sterling leaving.
Well without Sterling going do you believe the following players are possible?
Bacca/Firmino
Kovacic
Clyne
Are we in talks for all of them and if we are do ylu believe the club can get them through the door?
{Ed001's Note - possible, but no we are not currently in talks with all of them and no I do not believe we will get 3 of those 4.}
23 Jun 2015 14:27:35
Which do you think qe will get? As u said 3 out of 4. Kovacic?
{Ed001's Note - I never said we will get 3 out of the 4, quite the opposite Reet.}

Firmino is well overated,hope we don't sign him. Bacca is the type of striker we need.I would go as far as to say he's better than costa.
23 Jun 2015 15:04:53
ed001, by this do you mean we will not secure be able to secure as many as 3 of the aforementioned 4 players, or that of those 4 names, there are three who you do not believe will join specifically e.g. firmino bacca and clyne ?
I hope this question isn't convoluted
Kind Regards
South Aussie Red
{Ed001's Note - sorry I should have explained better, he was saying either/or regarding Bacca and Firmino, which is why I said about 3 of the 4. We never buy players I like, so that means the only one who is likely is Clyne, who I don't think would suit us, and we have not upped our offer on him yet, so he is not that likely either as things stand. Hopefully Inter end up having to sell Kovacic to fund their rebuild, but I wouldn't hold your breath on that as they will do anything to avoid dealing with us right now.}

that's what I'm asking mate. Which one player do you think we will get?
{Ed001's Note - I wasn't saying that mate, that was my point.}

Ok buddy. I understand what you meant. Thick brain 😧
{Ed001's Note - you are just getting old Reet, it is all that talk with the dinosaurs on the TV page. All that talk about radios has dulled your youthful mind to the point where you want everything to be beige and your trousers are pulled up to your chest. You will be wearing corderoy next.}

Ed. I thought the Kovacic fee was agreed?
I was going to ask if that was the case, do you know of why it's taking so long to be finalised?
{Ed001's Note - Inter are trying to do other deals so they won't have to deal with us.}
23 Jun 2015 17:12:37
What have we done to inter Ed? Kicking themselves for selling coutinho perhaps?thanks
{Ed001's Note - just messed them about.}
23 Jun 2015 18:08:49
You say Eds you don't think Clyne would be suited to us, myself personally have not seen enough of him to pass judgement. I think Kovacic is a luxury we don't need as I hope we play a midfield 3 of Milner, Can & Henderson with Lucas, Allen, Rossiter & even Lallana can play there. So my question is Ed we've been linked with the 3 South American lads today, do you think at all possible of getting Firmino & Bacca?, from bits I've seen both look quality & a front 3 of them 2 & Coutinho would be mouth watering, also what's your personal opinion on them 2 as players & if in your opinion they'd be a good fit at Liverpool?
Thanks in advance Eds
{Ed001's Note - I do think they would both be improvements on the team and so would walk straight in. I really can not see us getting both though. They would be good players, Coutinho and Firmino seem to mesh well, but where would that leave Ings and Origi? What about Lallana? We really need to sort some outs first in my opinion.}

I understand what you mean Ed about Ings, Origi & Lallana but if we want to do well in all competitions surely all will get a chance, as we all know we'll be very lucky to get 15-20 games from Sturridge & with injuries, suspensions ect I'm sure will all get a chance. Hope Sky's report just now that we've agreed a deal is true but until I see it on club website I'll hold expectations. Glad that you say he goes well with Coutinho, the thought of 2 little magicians in the side, a good solid performer in Milner & hot young prospect in Ings I'm looking forward to the season. I hope you all the luck in the world for the silly season between now & deadline day :-)
{Ed001's Note - whereas I think the best teams use small tight knit squads to develop a good understanding. One of the issues we had with Rafa and his rotation was that all the fringe players were rusty and so looked awful every time they got a game. I am not getting my hopes up on Firmino as we never sign the payers I want us to sign, I am not sure I will believe it even if I get to watch him trot out on to the pitch wearing our kit!}
