Hello Eds, I have accidentally found this site, and I am impressed with it! Good job!
May I ask u some questions? Is there any real interest to Ben Davis? And is WBA keen on Andrea Wisdom? I have heard they want loan him, is there any truth?
Thank you,
From Russia with love

{Ed002's Note - Davis I doubt, Wisdom is of interest to WBA and others - Derby would like him.}

Hello, I am from Moscow)

I look forward to you visiting this site at least daily, like the rest of us, we are addicted .

Your English is already better than most of the posters on here!

Ahah, thank you, I think it s a sad news for other guys)
Personally, I have been visiting this site for 1 week, and I always checked new gossips and ed's answers and now as far as I am registered I ll try to be active :)

Hi eds I have just seen on web site that Moreno deal is back on can you shred any light on this please
I'll be over the moon if we can pull this off hopefully

{Ed002's Note - There is no deal. If Liverpool want the deal after what the player said, then all they have to do is meet Sevilla's financial requirements.}

Wat did the player say ed sorry to ask

{Ed002's Note - He has said he never wanted to leave the club nor Spain. I will say as an aside now that the player said when Chelsea agreed a price that he wanted to wait and see if Real Madrid would match the offer as that is where he intends to play one day - Chelsea walked away at that point.}

Thanks for that info Ed, it is fascinating to get these snippets of insight into the sometimes unsavoury attitudes of the pros that we revere and respect so much.

He looks a cracking player, but if he's so determined to join Real then one can imagine that any team who takes him on are buying a time bomb?
As soon as he strings two top seasons together and tempts Real into bidding for him, he'll just down tools and sulk (in the manner of our very own Mr Suarez) until he gets his move?
And in the meantime, whilst he is building his international profile ready for his dream move, every summer he will be publicly courting the men from Madrid?

To be honest, even as good as he is, we don't need that kind of pantomine every summer. There has to be a better option for LB, surely?

{Ed002's Note - It was enough for Chelsea to step back and Liverpool will know that.}

I would still buy him on the basis that should he perform to a level worthy of Real Madrid, then that would have helped the Liverpool cause, albeit potentially short lived, but also would fit the FSG model of buying young players with future resale value. Seems win-win really, get him in, performs well, sell for profit. Next! By that time, who knows, maybe a youth player will have staked his claim.

Why would you not want a player because he prefers a different club? If said club don't come in he has a choice to make.

Thank you ed been wanting that info for ages. Keep up all the good work.

In that case, why bother at all? Great player, mind you, but it seems ridiculous to even bid if he doesn't want to come. Seems likely that we'd match Sevilla's asking price and the player would refuse anyway.

I would feel more comfortable playing Flanagan from the start w/ Enrique getting back to fitness than going for Bertrand or Moreno (I admit, my opinion is purely because of the above comments by Ed002. Moreno is a terrific talent). I believe in our transfer dealings; I've been impressed and excited by everyone who has walked through the doors this summer.

15 Jul 2014 11:10:17
Thanks Ed002, always wondered why Chelsea walked away. If his head is somewhere else we should be looking elsewhere

Why would we not buy him on the basis of he may want to go to Real Madrid one day? Surely that could be said of a lot of players! If he plays well and wants to move on in a few years for more money than we paid what's the issue!? I'd be happy to have home if he can step in a do a job for us to challenge for the league for the next few years.

Anybody here think Rojo would be a better option? he looked very good on the biggest stage. just my thoughts

15 Jul 2014 11:19:27
Ed002 mahalo for giving the reason chelsea moved on from moreno, was always in the back of my mind, wouldn't sign him anymore myself but for some reason the board doesn't listen to advice coming from this archipelago? aloha!

{Ed002's Note - It makes some clubs think twice.}

I don't mind so much that he'd want to play for Madrid -- in fact, that seems to be pretty common, especially amongst Spanish speaking footballers -- but it seems pointless to take a player out of Spain that WANTS to be in Spain. Just leave him where he is and move on.

Moreno comes, I'm still very thankful and believe he can be great for us, but its only a matter of time until he's seeking a move away.

Hi Eds

Have you heard anything reliable on the speculation linking us with Reus, Benzema and Turan? Is this just imaginative journalism or are you aware of any genuine interest?

Shame we've not heard any more on the Rojo front- I thought he was really impressive at the World Cup.

Thanks

{Ed001's Note - not aware of any chance of those 3.}

14 Jul 2014 22:13:28
Ah people are still talking about Turan to Liverpool, how quaint. A nice tradition. Has his agent actually said anything ever about moving?

14 Jul 2014 10:35:34
Are we really looking at Jay Rodriguez?

{Ed002's Note - He is injured - I would think it unlikely.}

We might aswell move too st Mary's

Would be the worst transfer in the history of transfers. Liverpool would be mocked for selling exchanging a top 3 world class player with half of a mid-table team.

Jay is a northern lad who likes being up here, I know him and his family and whilst at present Spurs are doing the necessary he would jump at the chance of moving back north near his home town. He his well thought of and just broken into the England setup injured at a bad time for him unfortunately. He is working really hard to regain his fitness and at present on target for full recovery and return by end of September. Don't go slagging players off before you know them. Not the most prolific but playing wide left at Soton still contributed with goals and assists. Made himself a starter under Pochettino who really likes him and his attitude and is willing to learn, work hard and improve which is what is required along with talent.

Thank you for the prompt reply Ed002, much appreciated.

Sunday evening, a picture has been posted on social media sites showing that Markovic has finally touched down on Merseyside as the player took a picture with a random fan in the street.

Yeah seen that myself. Can even see words Liverpool uni in background.

I have put a copy of it up in the Sightings section.

Hi eds,
Hearing some rumours about Dortmund's Marco Reus being linked with us. Any information about this?
I wish it happens, think he is a world class player and just what we need after the departure of the legend Luis Suarez!

Thanks

{Ed008's Note - Injured and no Interest from Liverpool.

Ed008 - I think it is unlikely we are not interested - we would have to be verging on stupid to not be interested! it's more about if we are interested or not :)
