I've got a feeling sterling sale won't happen. As long as he gets nowhere near the first team then I won't be to worried. We need to get the benteke deal agreed if he's our main target and then the cdm. Personally I'd accept the new offer from city and move on but looks like we will play hardball. let him rot!!

If the Sterling deal doesn't happen how do we pay for Benteke ?

{Ed002's Note - Further loans - why associate Sterling with Benteke?}


2.) 11 Jul 2015 07:23:13
Where is the money to buy those two players without selling Sterling?

{Ed002's Note - Further debt for the club.}


3.) 11 Jul 2015 07:34:15
Are we set to turn the latest offer down again Ed?

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea.}


4.) 11 Jul 2015 07:45:36
ED, your replies. Can you tell me how FSG are really any better then H&G were? Do we now have more debt under them then the previous owners who everyone thought was destroying the club.

{Ed002's Note - I am sick of answering questions about the owners over and over - try the search function.}


5.) 11 Jul 2015 08:27:24
We would be in a far off worse place without fsg. they are bringing back some sort of stability financially within the club after the mess the two cowboy muppets left us in. They have forked out cash for signings which they promised and Also to get the development going on the stadium (which they also promised)I'm sure they couldn't be doing that if things where so bad.

The sterling sale has nothing to do with our purchases. this has been stated a million times on here and by fsg so don't mix them up. We will buy regardless and this was always the plan. Sterling can go for 50 Mil or rot in the reserves . I'd sell him but we won't be bullied

{Ed002's Note - That is not an option.}

We will buy regardless means e take more debts and I am not a big fan of this. This happens when you buy pot players over all and never get a great margin of profit when you sell them.

No worthwhile business will allow a £40 million asset to reduce to a zero value in 24 months , absolute lunacy to suggest otherwise .


9.) 11 Jul 2015 19:06:49
We will see. Sterling will go. question of when and how much. Have we actually offered on benteke??

Jovetic to liverpool.could this be a deal that is linked with sterling sale or would this be separate? If any truth in the report and is he any good? Surely if he was then city would be playing him. I would like to see more of him but we need proven prem goal scorer. bony??

firm

1.) 05 Jul 2015 11:40:50
We are pushing for a deal with benteke, if you scrolled down you would see that! Does anybody actually read the posts Ed's put up?


2.) 05 Jul 2015 11:37:03
Jovetic could and probably should be world class by now. However City was a shocking career move for him and his injuries really haven't helped. Personally I wouldn't take the gamble, but if it paid off, we'd be getting ome hell of a player. I don't know if you've seen him for Fiorentina or Montenegro, but he is just a complete striker on his day.

Pace, trickery, movement, excellent link up play, deadly with either foot. I really don't know what went wrong for him at City.


3.) 05 Jul 2015 11:44:26
So would people rather benteke or jovetic?

Jovetic isn't a bad player but at the end of the day if aguero is fit then no other striker gets a look in.


4.) 05 Jul 2015 11:48:40
In an ideal world i'd take bony and not buy benteke, but it just won't happen


5.) 05 Jul 2015 11:54:45
Id take a fit jovetic all day, but it's the fit part that's the problem, him and sturridge as a partnership on the physio table isn't what we need


6.) 05 Jul 2015 11:59:49
Jovetic keeping aside his injury nighmare is the best buy IMO. A very classy player and is million miles better than Benteke on the way we play.

{Ed002's Note - Jovetic has never settled in England. Manchester City held discussions in London with Inter over the player a few days ago - and Roma are looking to the player as well.}


7.) 05 Jul 2015 12:02:19
Jovetic


8.) 05 Jul 2015 12:04:51
I wanted Jovetic involved in the Sterling deal at the end of last season, but we have since signed Firmino. I think he is very similar to Jovetic and the Eds tell us Jovetic is unsettled in the UK. I wouldn't say he's primarily a goal scorer like Benteke.


9.) 05 Jul 2015 12:11:10
Jovetic looked awesome last preseason, scoring against us in the US, but injuries haven't helped him. I really rated him after the preseason, shame he didn't kick on and get game time.


10.) 05 Jul 2015 12:15:18
Good point gmil i'd take Jovetic alao, but Benteke isn't exactly suarez esque regarding injuries is he though?


11.) 05 Jul 2015 13:51:19
Interesting everyone saying Jovetic but also pointing out his poor injury record along with Eds saying he hasn't settled in England. Do we really want to keep gambling on players? We gambled on Balotelli who was another player who scored well in Italy but struggled in England with City. Why do we not learn?


12.) 05 Jul 2015 15:39:14
Spot on Back! Would be an idiotic signing.


13.) 05 Jul 2015 16:11:35
Lfcshadam I am looking at alternatives to beneke. We may be pushing for benteke but we don't want to pay the price so we might not actually get him. It's called a discussion or a debate or sometimes both! If you pulled your head out the eds arse you could get involved! God, some people love to brown nose on here.


14.) 05 Jul 2015 16:57:10
Boom!

If Benteke doesn't start scoring from day one, I am afraid you would be eating your words mate.
This player would be the second most expensive signing in the club history.
And for that money he should win us something.


15.) 05 Jul 2015 17:58:19
Euro!

My intervention in the Benteke discussions was purely to counter the almost universal abuse he was getting and the fact I felt people were giving a false impression of the player he actually is.

I also made it clear from the outset that he wouldn't have been my first choice.

The cost of a transfer is not only the fee. Jovetic would cost 25m I'd have thought and his wages will be much higher. Therefore over a 4 year contract he'd be just as expensive.

Of course he doesn't score at the rate Benteke does and he's also massively injury prone.

Add to that he's not settled in England I'm afraid your argument is as leaky as a sieve.

And allowing for inflation Benteke would cost similar to Torres & Suarez when we signed them. We made about 80m profit on those two. Players ready to make a step up who had been on the radar of lots of top clubs.


16.) 05 Jul 2015 18:35:47
European, how can one player be charged with winning You something, it's a team sport and no matter how good a player is he can't win anything on his own. This is like something you'd hear from kids in a playground.


17.) 05 Jul 2015 19:40:32
Europe I also think he would be the third most expensive after Carroll and Firmino ;)


18.) 05 Jul 2015 20:52:56
Spoke of us must like purchasing perennial sicknotes instead of players who can actually help us. Memo to all: If a player can't get on the pitch to help you due to his poor injury record, he is useless to you regardless of his talent.

Sienna. highly unlikely that we will start the season in that position. Ballo and origi may even be loaned. Benteke will be coming I reckon. if not then I fully expect us to sign a proven goal scorer. We have too. don't forget that studge is injured

Does anyone rate him? Not seen him play so can't comment. 22 million seems a lot. I'd rather see ibe in the team personally.

No offence but this thread is rather pointless and isn't really an argument worth having. Every country has sportman who drink etc. not just in the uk. Fact is most footballers think they are the muts nuts and it's all down to money and greed.typified by sterling and his agent. Agents should be more regulated and this sort of thing could be minimised and hopefully ruled out. Football ain't what it used to be and gradually I am falling out of love with what the game has become. Rant over lol

Yes John u clearly have missed something. have u been in an underground bunker all day?! The rat has indeed refused to go on tour. I actually hate him. I think he will be one of the most hated players to ever return to anfield. Disgraceful

We need someone with a proven track record and someone who knows how to win. Someone who is respected in the game. We tried the up and coming with Brendan and look what happened.

I've wanted Carlo for a long time. Brilliant coach, great man manager and would keep and attract top players. Would be the best manager we will of had in years. If we are in talks, then rodgers' days are well and truly over... but are we?
