I've seen bernd Leno being linked with a move abroad and lfc are apparently a possible destination. What are the eds thoughts, is he one of a few possible replacement for mingolet?
{Ed002's Note - Leno is of no interest to Liverpool at this time but there has been an enquiry from both Real Madrid and Barcelona - interest of Arsenal has gone for now.}

Looks like Real have given up on signing De Gea and Barcelona want Ter Stegen gone. Hey Ed002, any change in Ter Stegen's situation? because it looks like Barcelona are trying to replace him in the summer. And is it due to his lack of quality or him being just plain unhappy about lack of game time?
{Ed002's Note - (a) No, they will be making an offer for DDG in the summer. (b) Barcelona don't see ter Stegen as first choice hence the willingness to sell.}

how much would he cost us approx. we need anybody else in gk, I would apply.
{Ed002's Note - The asking price is €30M and they may take €25M. He has hardly played for a while - cup games only.}

What is about Ter Stegen that means they don't see him as first team material?
{Ed002's Note - Not as good as Bravo.}

Do you think they'd do a loan to buy deal for the lad ed?
{Ed002's Note - No.}

Does that mean that they don't see him as reaching the potential of Bravo or more that they don't wish to wait. Also does he have the work ethic to want to get better (I was reading something today that suggested that Barcelona weren't too happy with his attitude)
{Ed002's Note - They are not happy with his bleating that he is not first choice and they have waited two years. As I explained previously, they would have sold him in January but he wanted to stay as Barcelona are in a decent position to possibly win the CL where he is playing. Additionally there might be changes coming in the summer that could change his position, but for now the situation remains unchanged.}
