Really hope this isn't true. Just back in contention for the top four and Brendan cocks it up. Well done.

Cheers Waro. Just wish you had some good news to share. Not a great piece of business at this stage of the season for LFC.

I also share Dennis' concern.

IF this is true, I want BR out quickly.Amazing that it has come to this.

Or is this Waro dreaming up a reason to post after saying he had posted for the last time?

Having football-rumours withdrawal attacks there Waro??

Might as well sign Guarin on loan.

Thanks for the info Waro.

So we usually buy average players for high cost and sell them on for cheap fees. Now we have a good player, who we need and we let him go for less than we paid for aspas, Alberto, llori. Amazing business!

Reports saying we are close to agreeing a deal with Villa for Fabian Delph. Any truth behind this? Cheers

hi eds,
any chance we could be interested in ramieres as a dm in the summer?
Also is lucas's upturn in form and the fact the team is a lot more balanced with him in it going to have any impact on him leaving or is he defo going to go this january?
Also, will we look to replace him of just put can/allen into his position?

Believable0 Unbelievable8

{Ed002's Note - (a) No. (b) I would think he will go tat the first opportunity. (c) Search engine.}

Apparently Balotelli may be going on "loan" to Juventus with a view to a transfer in the summer. Sounds suspiciously like the Bert Water "deal". I would ask why always us?

Assaidi to join dubai club Al-Ahli for 4.7m.

Not a bad move for both parties.

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Jan 2015 20:57:11
I hope so, wish him well but if not in the plans let him go and clear the wages and take the fee. No doubt we can use the funds.

Howdy Eds.
Just wondering why we don't seem to be chasing any sort of defensive reinforcements. We seem to have plenty of cover in the midfield and up front, surely the real problem is getting one or two solid centre halves.
Also, is the possibility of hiring some sort of defensive coach before the start of the new season out of the question?
Thanks in advance

Believable4 Unbelievable4

{Ed001's Note - we already have lots of defenders. Rodgers won't accept a defensive coach.}

11 Jan 2015 16:12:38
We've got more defenders than LandRover.

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Jan 2015 19:53:16
Could the owners enforce a defensive coach on him as part of their review, Ed?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It really isn't how things work.}

12 Jan 2015 12:37:19
Not much cover? Toure, sakho, can, manquillo, Moreno, Enrique, skrtl, lovren. And Johnson.

Plus Flanagan, wisdom, Coates, llori

How many more do you think we should buy?

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2015 14:57:47
Rodgers is clearly delusional if he thinks we do not need a defensive coach

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi eds. Might be a foolish question but what about Charlie Austin in Qpr. Is there any interest from anyone or Liverpool. Making so many points for such a bad club as Qpr makes him interesting I think.

Believable0 Unbelievable11

{Ed001's Note - yes but not from us. He has issues which will make it very unlikely he ever plays for a big club.}

11 Jan 2015 15:03:02
Without wanting you to libel, what issues Ed?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - for one he has a long standing knee problem. There are other things that I would prefer not to talk about.}

11 Jan 2015 21:47:06
Just want to comment on what a story it is, brick layer to premier league goalscorer. albeit for QPR but surely the lad deserves a chance, not saying for Liverpool but just a decent club that guarantees premier league security because there's no doubting his talent.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Jan 2015 23:04:01
Luis had issues. Ballotelli has writen books on his issues. At the end of the day, Austin's a natural goalscorer n Borini, Balotelli are (choose your own ending).

We should be at least scouting him. Do we still have scouts at the club ?

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jan 2015 13:20:19
Do juventus or sampdoria hold any interest in mario? And do you see him leaving this month?

Believable5 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - Balotelli has been offered to a number of clubs in England and in Italy but the asking price is very high. As has been explained, Liverpool would need to drop the price considerably if anyone is to bite.}

11 Jan 2015 14:13:18
Thanks ed. I do think Sturidge and mario could become a good partnership

Agree2 Disagree1

They looked positive against Tottenham. Sturridge is great on the ball and Mario does actually have an eye for goal. I'd give them until the summer.

Agree0 Disagree1

I agree mario just had no luck so far he nds a scrappy goal

Agree1 Disagree0

I agree his best game was with Sturridge and hopefully they can form a good partnership, ed how much are we asking for him ?

Agree1 Disagree0

I heard from someone reasonably close to Liverpool that Michael Laudrup is under consideration for the Director of Football role? I was wondering if anyone (including Ed's have heard this also)

Thanks love this site.

Believable4 Unbelievable18

{Ed001's Note - I hadn't heard any names mentioned, I would be surprised if he was anywhere near the list considering his time at Swansea.}

11 Jan 2015 11:47:42
Maybe as coach under a DoF also from the same Cruyff/Barcelona ideology so that continuity of strategy exists.

Agree0 Disagree1

11 Jan 2015 15:17:33
I don't think he would be the worst choice. Alright, he didn't have the most successful spell in swansea, but he bought good players and clearly has an eye for talent right?

Agree0 Disagree1

11 Jan 2015 00:02:23
Is assaidi going to the middle east

Believable8 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - There has been a problem and his loan has been cancelled - an option exists in Dubai.}

11 Jan 2015 00:46:46
Is the problem with the player or us not liking lack of game time? If it's the player is it something the will affect a transfer away from us?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it is the player and that is why we never managed to sell him in the summer.}

11 Jan 2015 05:51:28
Don't suppose you might elaborate on 'problem', Ed002? If not, I understand.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He has not played well and the fans have very much turned on him.}

11 Jan 2015 11:57:13
Thought Hughes actually wanted to buy him but was put off by our asking price. He not of the required standard for a Liverpool persuing premiership dominance anyway and never was. Should never have taken him to start with.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - Premiership dominance?}

That's what we are supposed to be aiming for - premiership dominance. getting a tad lost along the way admittedly, but it's in the pipeline and there's light at the end of the tunnel - or is that a train.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I suspect someone has been teasing you.}

Some geezer I met at the dentists and tanning salon.
