Hi Ed's, Der Spigiel, whoever they are say that its certain that Thiago is now heading to liverpool. Have you heard anything new? Desperate for this one to be finalised. Great signing. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool would need to agree a transfer fee with Bayern Munich, agree a deal with the player, international paperwork would need to be dealt with and a medical passed. Then they can say that.}

Thank you. Are we or have we started discussions with the club yet?

{Ed002's Note - Bayern Munich made it clear they were unhappy with the illegal approach to one of their players and Liverpool formally declared an interest. They have spoken with two other sides about Thiago but Liverpool will likely now look to have a discussion with them. This has all been explained.}

Thanks ed, I had seen that you said BM had complained but not that we had declared an interest. Sounds like we will hopefully move it forward now then. Thanks.

Ed what's happens if the player wants the Interested club but the owning club won’t entertain talks with the interested club?

{Ed002's Note - If the club refuse to sell then nothing.}

I still don’t think the club will spend 25 to 30m on a 29 old, don’t forget will still need another central defender that’s probably going to cost between 15 and 20m, no way we have the money to spend over 50m this summer.

Redman 1, Klopp may be keen on getting Thiago than getting a CB to be 4th choice cos the first choice option of D. Carlos ain't happening. Klopp may think that Thiago is more of a priority than getting a 4th choice CB cos all else fails Nat Phillips could be promoted to 4th choice. Just a thought.

Red Meister fingers crossed your right as he would be an amazing signing but can’t help thinking klopp wants him more than the Liverpool board do.

any of the eds have any inside oil about what Thiago wants? would he be willing to see out his contract at bayern to get a move to Liverpool in a year's time?

{Ed0666's Note - would Liverpool want him at 31 and make such a gargantuan investment? Signing on fee, agent fees, salary etc.

Ed0666 he wouldn't be 31. Thiago will only be turning 30 by the end of next season so I'm bemused by the constant feeling amongst us that he's only got a year or 2 left in him at best. If we pay 25 mil this summer we could realistically get the next 3 or 4 years from him by the time he's finishing a season at 32 yrs old. Why wait a year and miss out on world class calibre who's available and eager to join now. We spent 35mil on AOC when he could have been free following year. But he was vital in games his first season towards repaying our investment and thiago hungry to prove himself in England after winning everything possible in Spain and Germany could be dying to hit top form this season instead of winding down his contract for another year at a club he's just won everything available and a year with lack of hunger and getting a year older. He's not staying at bayern so makes no sense that we would wait for him next summer.

{Ed0666's Note - I’m assuming the logic in waiting a year would be to save the transfer fee mate. But I’m only for Thiago coming if Gini is leaving otherwise the transfer doesn’t make sense in a broken economy.
