Hi Eds, what's the latest on Mkhitaryan, it's being reported that we've had a bid accepted? Cheers {Ed002's Note - I am not aware of a bid being accepted, I am aware that Liverpool has spoken with SD about their player now.}

Believable32 Unbelievable5

Cheers, do you know if we've made an offer? {Ed002's Note - See above. That is what I know. There is interest and the clubs are talking and once some common ground is found there will be an offer and then it will be down to due process.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Quick question if I may Ed002- does a club approaching another club in this manner generally mean that there have been high level discussions with a players agent and he would likely be in favor of the move (subject to terms, the current club agreeing and all that)? A generalization I realize, just trying to understand how this normally works. {Ed002's Note - It varies but clubs will typically informally ask an agent (a) if the player is going to be available, and (b) would the player consider a move to the club. There may be some broad discussion on the sort of deal that would be offered. If the answer is yes, it is then necessary for the club to approach the player's club to ask if they would be willing to sell and if they would grant permission to speak to a player's agent and possibly even the player about actually making a move. This will typically involve either broadly (through an offer) or actually agreeing a fee and responsibility for any significant costs (agents fees etc.). Once this has happened the club will be able to speak to the player's agent and perhaps the player himself to look at the package that will be involved. Many players are looked at and discussed at a high-level with agents and clubs; a subset of those have an offer placed; a subset of those involve discussions with the player's club; a subset of those involve discussions over terms, and; a subset of those go ahead.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks, Ed002. Much appreciated, as always.

Agree0 Disagree0

My opinion of this fella that he is hungry for the limelight of a big club which for Liverpool is not a bad thing. he comes and proves how good he is and wants a move to a barca or Madrid in 3 years but we make 15 mill profit on him and he's helped us back to the champs league I say go for it as there is always better players out there.

Davylivercabs

Agree0 Disagree0

So you think that when he is 28 we will sell him for 15 mill more. Say for instance 35 mill over all. Your dreaming mate. Ffp will have kicked in my then. I am sure he is seen as a long term if he comes

Agree0 Disagree0

Transfer market is like the housing market once the price of transfers go up they will not come down even with Ffp rules the clubs will just find ways of getting more money and investment into the teams so they are able compete in the transfer market. Much like city's stadium naming rights. {Ed002's Note - The Manchester City stadium example is not a good one and not representative of a route to avoid the FFP regulations.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Long term isn't that what Suarez has on his contract and what exactly does that mean face it the game is no longer a game it is a business these days and players have all the power

Agree0 Disagree0

If fsg play this correctly, we will benefit either way. (a) he shows some respect sending a clear message in general, then goes nxt season no matter what.
(b) He goes, we get xyz enough to be happy to reinvest, with the result, a team of creators, goals scorers and fighters, dedicated to lfc. edgeing away from the relience on suarez,

for me it leans towards (b)

We don't want to see the 3rd posibility

The Real R2TB

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't want him. Money grabber

Agree0 Disagree0

Beeb reporting Liverpool close to Mignolet deal being completed?

Believable50 Unbelievable4

Thanks for that. Is that hot off the press.? Ffs

Agree0 Disagree0

I said we should go for him when all the reina rumours started. Defo best keeper in our price range and seemingly new policy on lower wages. Going to be a great signing. Really impressed with our business so far. If Suarez goes then I think we may go 4 a big signing, I did say benteke but maybe he is too expensive. Aubamayang would be my choice

Close to being completed! not till july 1st my freind.

I would much rather have reina than migloet

Evening Ed, any idea if Liverpool have been looking at Matthias Ginter
Thanks {Ed002's Note - There has been no interest from Liverpool.}

Believable3 Unbelievable16

15 Jun 2013 17:42:50
Any more LB's in the pipeline Eds? The only 1 I remember us being linked to was Digne, but I hear he's off to PSG.

Mick D {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware.}

Believable8 Unbelievable10

Were Liverpool ever linked with left backs like Danny Rose, Luke Shaw or Aly Cissokho? {Ed052's Note - Being linked with players is totally different to having interest. I know of no interest ever from us in Rose or Shaw (although no doubt we have watched the latter and know he is too expensive). Back in the day we had interest in Aly, but went for Enrique instead}

Agree0 Disagree0

I've said it before: if we are genuinely interested in Porto's Christian Atsu, it's for Left Back.

We play with at least one deep lying midfielder, meaning Lucas. Sometimes two, adding Gerrard. This caution in the middle allows the full backs to bomb forward knowing that the likes of Lucas will cover them if the winger/forward ahead of them doesn't.

Atsu fits the bill. He doesn't offer enough for us as a left winger to fill that role, plus we have plenty of options there with Coutinho, Sterling, Ibe and perhaps also Alberto.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol Atsu LB? Get off the pills please

Agree0 Disagree0

We have Enrique backed up by Robinson. We also have Johnson who can switch and Agger, who can play there. In my opinion we don't require a left back unless of course Enrique was to leave.

Agree0 Disagree0

What about Taylor from Swansea?
a. Young and good = overpriced British
b. ex BR Player
c. Had lengthy injury, LFC love to buy injured players

Ticks all the boxes

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh I must of forgot the time apsas played under BR, and coutinho

Agree0 Disagree0

And toure sturridge sahin assaidi. Only two of his signings have been players he's managed before

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jun 2013 15:18:52
Hello Eds,
Is Alexis Sanchez likely going back to Italy?
I reckon he would be a quality option to replace Suarez as we will have 3 strikers in Aspas, Sturridge and Borini but no real quality Right wingers and he would really sort out that position.

Read in AS a few days back Barca are ready to sell Sanchez for 20-25 million Euros. {Ed002's Note - Barcelona will be looking to sell Sanchez although the player is keen to stay. The only serious interest that remains is from Inter.}

Believable14 Unbelievable11

Ed002 do u reckon Liverpool could become interested if suarez leaves? {Ed002's Note - I don't think so - Liverpool's interest is very clearly elsewhere now.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hearing Liverpool have agreed a fee for Luis Alberto with Sevilla. This lad looks very technically gifted but I'm Unsure he can handle the physicality of the prem. saying that I said the same on coutinho look how he proved me wrong.

Davylivercabs

Agree0 Disagree0

Sanchez' talent has surely been wasted.

He must regret his last move.

I see Suarez is shouting his mouth off again. About how we should listen to what he wants. Will he ever shut up and get on with his game? {Ed002's Note - What he wants is to leave. What he is incapable of is dealing with the matter in private - hence the continued embarrassment to the club. He is an absolute laughing stock now - the club should have managed this whole affair by sending someone with him to South America.}

Believable71 Unbelievable5

Suarez loves Liverpool but will join Real Madrid

Agree0 Disagree0

Sick of him already just shut your gob

Agree0 Disagree0

He is a total fool. Do you mean we should of sent some kind of advisor eds? Also do you believe it would of stopped so many comments from him? Also do you believe his value is decreasing? Very sad that a footballer needs babysitting. {Ed002's Note - Someone should have been sent to stop him doing these day-on-day interviews and using them to seemingly try and get another charge from the FA and to force his way out of Liverpool. Everyone knows that is what he wants - he has to talk to the club and not the press. This was always going to happen.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Unless Liverpool get the money they want for him he can mouth of all he wants cause he is going nowhere time to put our foot down on these ungrateful footballers, MARK

Agree0 Disagree0

He was talking about LFC hearing the offers, could it be his camp are worried that RM will lowball LFC and he won't get the move he wants?

Agree0 Disagree0

If he is so keen to leave then he should put in a proper transfer request, but he won't because he would lose money if he did, so he will keep on making statements to the press like today to try an engineer a move, I have supported him in the past but he is just pissing me off now, the sooner he's gone the better.

Agree0 Disagree0

If Suarez loved Liverpool why would he disgrace it in this way all he cares about is himself let's be honest he's bin no angel during his time at Liverpool. I do beleive he has had a hard time from the press but not exactly for no reason is it. He is making the club look stupid now and we should sell him on and forget about him. Aim gutted though as the man is class but the name on the front is far more important than the 1 on the back

Davylivercabs {Ed002's Note - It also seems his little "Manchester story" was made up as well.}

Agree0 Disagree0

It's part of the modern game, players will try and force through moves and do what their agents encourage and instruct them to, Suarez has made it a public affair, so this gives journalists scope to ask him questions relating to his career and such. He can't now say ''I don't wanna talk about it. '' Because he opened the can of worms the same day Marca made it known that Real were interested.

Suarez wants out, that's fair enough, he's made his bed and refuses to lay in it. But he's potentially driving any future Liverpool players prices up, as the clubs will know full well that we are going to have a decent bit of cash from his sale, that's what annoys me. He could have done it quietly, professionally. Liverpool won't keep someone who hands in a transfer request whether public or private, with a club willing to meet Liverpool's valuation of said player. He will be allowed to go.

Other than that, cheers for the goals, assists and money from your sale. Hope you do well and don't get chewed up and spat out like most players at Real have happen. Great player but a bit of a bell ringer of a human being.

I'm happy for this trend of exporting £50 million pound players around. I say long may it continue. If Pip Coutinho for example carries his form into next season and we get an offer of £35+ million from Real City or whoever, I say accept the offer, make the money and put it back into the team and create another player for the mega rich to buy off us. Happy days, as long as their is a replacement player with potential and ability, then great. Many players come, few players stay.

Agree0 Disagree0

It is clear he wants to go and is using the media as a scape goat. I understand everyone quoting him saying he loves the club but keep in mind he may only be saying that to keep supporters on side if he doesn't mood. let's face it, if he goes we'll get money and will invest.

JA89

Agree0 Disagree0

Where can I find this little manchester story or can u give me the jist of it ed2

Davylivercabs {Ed002's Note - It was a made up tale about him visiting a mall in Manchester last week and local toughs making "biting motions" in a photograph. He discussed it during a press conference. However, when questioned about it by a Spanish radio show yesterday and the timing of events, he said it was not something that actually happened, but something his wife had either "dreamed" or was "scared" of (what he said was not entirely clear in the transcript - he seems to be getting slightly confused between what he has said before and what he has said now.}

Agree0 Disagree0

My biggest fear is he gets injured in the Copa and we are stuck with him and all this kicks off again in January or next Summer and stops us being able to afford his replacement. I always thought the world of him but want shut now. He is turning out to be a disgrace.
Syd.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Eds just wondering has the club been in contact with Suarez at all since this has happened eg to tell him to stop doing these interviews?

Chris {Ed002's Note - His representatives noted that they were asked to remind Suarez who he is contracted to - any more I don't know.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi eds:

Why are we not fining him, he must be in breach of contract and should face some disciplinary action, and why if his "advisors" are going out touting him for sale then why are we not taking action against them? If as suggested they have been speaking with Real without the permission of the club then it's a clear case of tapping up!

I think it's time the club stood up for itself. We get taken for a ride every time and for all the skill he has Suarez is taking the piss now!

He has no love or loyalty to the club, he isn't worthy to polish Kenny's boots let alone show such disrespect to his loyalty in the previous campaign.

Sorry. Rant over
Jp {Ed002's Note - Liverpool cannot take action against his advisors and I have no idea if they wish to fine him and then run the chance of him disputing matters in public.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Having watched Morata again for the under 21s again a good goal, wouldn't mind if he was part of the deal sollongs it didn't devalue the offer too much

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed one question:

Can the club put a price on him? Let's say 50m and say if any team wants him they will have to meet this price. If no club approaches us then we do a Tevez to him and leave him rot until he comes to his senses.
He already has 6 matches off, we already have plenty of options and can cope without him.
This way we will show that we are no selling club and will not be held at ransom. Do you think is better to offload cheaply just because a player is a jerk and we will be losing wages? In the long term I think this is a bad strategy, a player cannot afford to destroy his career.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool could do that but they won't. Financially it would be an absolute disaster for the club.}

Agree0 Disagree0

With player power being so strong these days I'm pretty sure he will definitely go to Real, but wouldn't it be slightly ironic after he mentioned his desire to play with "Mr Narcissist" - Ronaldo, if he (Ronaldo) left Real.

I'm sure if he/when Suarez leaves we will find a replacement, but at the moment I just can't think of who that may or might be.

Agree0 Disagree0

He's leaving and boy will it will drag on - this situation isn't new in the world of football.

We will clear in excess of £40m for him and will have a much stronger squad as a result of those finances being available to Rodgers. For all that Suarez gave us last season, we had to resort to overplaying Sterling, a kid, in the first half of the season, and relying on Downing for the whole of it (he did OK, but he's not world class).

IF, come September 1st, Suarez has left and we've ended up with (amongst others) Papadopoulos and Mkhitaryan, it will have been a good window.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jun 2013 19:35:00
I can't hold a grudge against him, every second he has been in a Liverpool shirt he has been trying and winning us games - I'll take that over the sulky Torres we endured for half a season, or the "I'm going to strike" card Masch played or even the "I'll negotiate a Bosman to screw you out of £8M" we saw in the past.

The ban has probably forced this action from him - most players wanting to leave a club know they would have summer waiting for a bid plus a few games at the start of the season to shop window themselves - without that option Luis is using his co-dependant relationship with the media to ensure European clubs are looking at him going into the Copa.

We're in a strong position as a club on all fronts - RM can try and low-ball us and then we can make Luis give up his Loyalty payments to make the deal right, RM can come in and pay the money we want or the right deal doesn't happen and we have a fully rested and still hungry player ready to go in September. All things aside Luis just isn't the type of person to sit in the reserves sulking or drop his commitment if he is forced to stay - he loves playing and the spotlight too damn much.

Not worth the emotion some fans are showing - he's one player - not bigger than the club.

Agree0 Disagree0

Suarez is unable to conduct himself like a professional. He may indeed be delusional, or a victim of a developmental or personality disorder.

LFC simply must engineer a move to Real Madrid as quickly as possible.

He is an accident waiting to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

What a load of s****. Send someone with and do what gag him?

Agree0 Disagree0

A see many, many people are listening to mis-translations conducted by biased media.

Agree0 Disagree0

The constant "biased media" excuse for Suarez is getting tiresome. He is a disgrace. End of story.

Agree0 Disagree0

After all the support from the club and us fans after his diving, racism and biting we get this s***? Fflog him for 50m or let him rot in the reserves

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed's, could Liverpool not just put a price on his head and set a deadline for a deal to be done and tell suarez if nobody meets our valuation anda deal is done within this time frame you will be staying until the end of the season, we don't what to be caught short up front this season again.
Kopbob {Ed002's Note - Sure.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Utd fan here - Suarez is a great player but how he has treated your club is disgraceful. Even though there are players if love utd to sign, i'm happy when they come out and say they are going nowhere! It's not that I don't want us to sign them: more that I respect the loyalty and the reassurance for the fans. Viera was a tw*t for it!! It's rare and I honestly love seeing it! Carragher, henry, Giggs, scholes, lampard are to name a few but anyone that disgraces a club needs to jog in

Agree0 Disagree0

The more I think about this the angrier get. World class player but also a world class person

Agree0 Disagree0

A great footballer is a man that was brought up to respect others as well as there footballing ability. the guy has no class. the player is under contract at Liverpool football club. and is now claiming the club need to listen to his demands as well as transfer offers from other clubs. now this is the problem. he is now claiming he is bigger than Liverpool football club. by demanding they listen. I will be honest I have never liked the man, I loved torres I grew fond off him. as I am still sad he left but with suarez I didn't get the love for the player as he took our great club through the mill. atleast with torres he didn't make demands and let's be honest lots off goals and 50m in our pockets. suarez needs to be sold before he gets decked my gerrard as I no if I was in that side and suarez was running my home team down the way he is I would knock his goofy teeth out.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jun 2013 00:45:36
Madrid are guna get him for dirt cheap guys. In end we will need to accept a small amount prob 30 mill. come on ed put us out our misery, what will he go for iyo? Sparky.

Agree0 Disagree0

Isn't this just classic real Madrid - we've seen this over many years at other clubs and now looks like it's our turn again. Quite honestly I just think they're a complete pain in the a**e -
if you want to sign a player, just have the common decency to approach the club first.
Be interesting to see if they actually do end up putting in an actual offer for Suarez, I only hope for his sake he's not being mislead and might be left in limbo.
Just another thought. I wonder what the odds are that he ends up at Munich?

Agree0 Disagree0

Think these a very good chance he will leave still don't think his reals 1st choice so could drag on as real try and bring in other players 1st with Suarez as back up as they now know he wants to join and will be able to get him to push for a move a lot more easy now

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd much rather sell him to Bayern to join that revolution than Real.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jun 2013 10:39:54
just get rid, Liverpool are Liverpool always will be biggest club in England take him to court 4 breach of contract

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jun 2013 10:45:39
don't slag the club off when he signed a contract we should not have to pay babysitting money out as well

Agree0 Disagree0

Suarez a world class player, but a p*ss poor professional. He blames the media for driving him out, yes it may be the English media, but end of the day its still Media who he is talking too trying to engineer a move out of a club who's loyal supporters have stuck by him thick and thin. If he wasn't in the footballing scene, how many employers would keep him. Get rid of him, he's being a disgrace to the fans who have stuck by him and who pay his wages! No one is bigger than the club!

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jun 2013 14:44:09
If I remember correctly, we we're looking at dejan Lovren, defender last summer. He's young, fits the fsg policy and has just been sold to Southampton for 8.5m. Here we are looking at players valued at 15m, when payers like this, with huge potential are slipping through our fingers. I'm not sure I appreciate Brendan's current policy - put it this way, I'd rather have Loren than Aspas from a squad perspective and with the rumours that we are looking for 2 attacking midfielders and ANOTHER striker, surely assaidi, borini, Henderson, shelves AND Allan are all being sold? Jonjo will be the only player we will actually make money from. I really hope we are smart this season re. Transfers because this is our opportunity to rebuild correctly and be back in the CL within 2 years.

Believable9 Unbelievable48

"I really hope we are smart this season" Clearly you're not - otherwise you won't be comparing Lovren with Aspas since they are both different players!
I don't know why these posters whine and grumble just because other clubs have signed this player or that player. We can't possibly buy every player on the planet, nitwit!

Agree0 Disagree0

I keep asking on here, can someone please post the link where this "FSG policy" is?

Agree0 Disagree0

We can't buy everybody, the manager is choosing the right players for the right price - if we didn't choose Lovren its because we didn't really want him, get a grip.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ever think we weren't looking at him? Do you think that we are linked with around 100 players every summer? Did you not think that we aren't looking at all them players linked?

Either way you're one of them many fans that moan about who we don't sign and complain about who we do.

JA89

Agree0 Disagree0

We were linked via gossip columns with Lovern when Kenny was the manager. The same interest may not have been held by the new manager, if it was ever by the old one, but gossip columns don't care they just pump out new crap each day.

Lovern is a lumpy oaf of a centre back, Rodgers doesn't seem interested in that type of CB, Skrtel is by far overall a better defender than Lovern is, more agile and faster, yet Rodgers doesn't rate him, so i'm not surprised that Rodgers doesn't rate Lovern over what we have. Just my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm sure the reason Lovren wasnt signed is because there was no interest in him and if there was he may have been deemed not good enough. We can't sign everyone and "Brendan's current policy" brought us Coutinho and Sturridge!

Agree0 Disagree0

Your talking nonsense if we wore that interested in lovren we would have signed him he couldn't get into the lyon team and trew his toys out of the pram like a baby, shelvey will most likely leave allen and henderson will stay, MARK

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes gone to southamptan

Agree0 Disagree0

We've bought another forward because we need one and only a person would disagree. And why the hell your comparing aspas with lovren is beyond me as ones a defender the other is a forward. If lovren was really as good as on fifa13 why has he ended up at saints (no disrespect) instead of real, barca, Manchester United etc etc? Maybe it's because you rate him more than our scouting group. I think I'll trust their opinion over yours no offence but if the last windows anything to go by I think they know what there doing.

I'm looking forward to seeing aspas play in the flesh he looks like a real handful, seems to me to be in a similar mould to mr Suarez but with a little more pace, likes to run at defenders, good close control, good passing and vision and seems to have real fire in his belly. The most important thing for me is he seems to genuinely want to come and do well for us, I think a lot of people might be pleasantly surprised with this signing.

Agree0 Disagree0

You for real, getting rid of Hendo? Wake up mate, not going to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

At least some people seem to know what they are talking about. Lovren is a defender more in the Skrtel mould than the Agger one. We all know how highly BR rates that type of defender!. This was never going to happen

Agree0 Disagree0

Didn't the Lyon fans all sabotage a vote for who Barca should sign to get rid of him, would say bullet dodged but we were not interested!

Agree0 Disagree0

Henderson allen and borini won't be going anywhere, jonjo is only good for one half of a match then goes missing, fair enough he's young loan to buy would be a good deal for him

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jun 2013 14:24:48
Hi eds I know that we are interested in Mignolet and I think he is a very good keeper and I see him as our new number one. What is the situation with Reina though are Barca still looking to strike a deal and is there interest from Athletico Madrid or Arsenal? {Ed002's Note - Barcelona is as previously explained - they have a long term target but wish support of an experienced GK. Atletico will have Courtois for another year. Arsenal may well look to Reina.}

Believable8 Unbelievable8

Reina will not leave Liverpool to join another Epl side, He will end up at Barcelona with Valdes moving on regardless of him saying he will honor his contract.

Agree0 Disagree0

Courtois will stay with Chelsea this year. They released Hilario and Turnbull! {Ed030's Note - He has already signed another year at Athletico mate. }

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jun 2013 14:23:36
Good afternoon ed! Hope you are fine and everything is good:)
A week ago you said Liverpool had enquired about Pezzella. Do you think it's between him and Ilori or are both targeted?and who do you see as the most likely of both to join given you know what kind of interest we hold in both? I hope 'most likely' words don't bother you boss! Cheers

Malak {Ed002's Note - All I can say is that an enquiry has again been made on behalf of Liverpool regarding German Pezzella of River Plate. I am obviously reluctant to discuss any potential buys from South America. If you want the more likely then it will be Llori.}

Believable6 Unbelievable2

We have already had a bid turned down for Ilori so i'd expect us to go back with a higher bid to secure the signing given that Coates will be moving on. Pezzella I have never heard of.

Agree0 Disagree0

Could Liverpool be looking to get Tiago Ilori and German Pezzela instead of Kyriakos Papadopoulos because of the price tag?

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jun 2013 13:57:09
Just a little thought i'm reading Mata may not be wanted at chelsea what do you think of a little bid with the saurez money he could be a vital piece in the jigsaw we have been looking for {Ed002's Note - Don't hold your breath.}

Believable4 Unbelievable32

Give coutinho time and he will be as good as mata if not better

Agree0 Disagree0

Ha ha ha ha brilliant mate

Agree0 Disagree0

If we sold Suarez I'd offer all of that to get Mata, won't hold my breathe though!

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jun 2013 13:39:54
Ins- Toure
Aspas
Mingolet
Alberto
Llori
Maybe Mickey
Maybe Benteke

Outs- Skertl
Shelvey
Carroll
Spearing
Probably Suarez
Maybe Downing
Maybe Reina

Been doing a lot of research and checking numerous sources, this seems to be a compilation of common knowledge. Anything to add eds? {Ed002's Note - I think you can strike Benteke and possibly add another CB.}

Believable20 Unbelievable15

Looks quite feasible - minus Benteke and probably as Ed says another CB, hopefully Papadopolus or if not that Ajax CB

If all happens great transfer window

Agree0 Disagree0

Remove benteke and add papadopalous to the ins and I think you might be just about right but if not papa for centre half then I have no idea maybe alderweild I have heard a few things on him
Davylivercabs

Agree0 Disagree0

Papadopolous not Benteke.

Agree0 Disagree0

Downing won't go. Reina will if Mignolet comes in

Agree0 Disagree0

But we need an attacker if Suarez leaves {Ed002's Note - Like Aspas?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes scratch Benteke and add Papa the bubble. But surely we need a proven goal scorer when Suarez goes. I'm all for goals from everywhere etc but c'mon Sturridge is the goalscorer right. He cannot play 38 games. Injuries anyone? Think we should look at Jay Rodriguez as back up.
Carlo

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry to put it so bluntly fellas, but what an absolute load of rubbish so you seem to think that when our 50 million wonderboy leaves the only forward were bringing in is iago aspas who at 25 as hardly set the world alight! Don't get me wrong I'm not slating him he might be a great buy, but he's certainly no replacement for Suarez! If they don't bring in a proven top flight goal scorer then we better get used to our final league position as were not the only team looking to strengthen! We all know Suarez didn't just score goals he created chance after chance and even when he didn't have the ball he took defenders out the game opening up space for others to have a go so he has to be replaced people.

Carlos

Agree0 Disagree0

Do you not think if he stays fit that Daniel sturridge could cut it? 11 goals since January and not that many starts! Give the boy a chance. We are all supposed to be on the same team!

Agree0 Disagree0

I believe Henrikh will join us.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed iv not heard anything on what mkhitaryan wants to do. Is he interested in coming to Liverpool. MATTTLFC {Ed002's Note - Shakhtar's Mkhitaryan is of interest to Liverpool, Lazio and Juventus, but the playerhas previously said he is looking for a move to Spain with Barcelona or somewhere in England, preferably London, so he can get the very high wages he says he is due. Shakhtar are looking for about €25M which seems high to me. Mkhitaryan has an agent who has used others to approach clubs in England regarding the player. There has been interest from Liverpool and I understand the club are keen to follow this up. Lazio and Juventus will not match the transfer fee, the expected wages, nor I doubt the fee being sought for his representation which I expect will be much higher than fans would normally expect. Mkhitaryan was offered to another English club at the beginning of June but they had no interest. For now, the interest from Liverpool will be more attractive to the player and his representatives than any interest from Italy.}

He looks a good player but his almost mercenary attitude towards money is a worry, I mean is really worth the excessive amount of money being touted? Hope we can negotiate the fee down significantly

T. Alderweireld.
A. Herrera.
S. De Vrij.
A. Sanchez.
N. Gaitan.

Cheers

Jonesred {Ed002's Note - None.}

I read somewhere that if Liverpool couldn't sign papadopalous the we would turn our attention to alderweild not sure how true but surely Liverpool have back up targets if the main targets are no longer achievable
Davylivercabs {Ed002's Note - Liverpool started with TA and decided he was too expensive. Everyone else has walked away from Papadopoulos for reasons I have explained.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers ed2
Apart from Ilori what other centre halves are looked at then eds as I thought that papa and Ilori wer almost nailed on maybe you've heard a few other names that us mere minions haven't cheers pal

Davylivercabs {Ed002's Note - De Vrij was looked at and Pezzella and Alderweireld as I have previously explained.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I doubt that sanchez will come to england I heard he is going back to italy

I see there are papers reporting about Henrikh Mkhitaryan again this morn, is there anything new to report eds or just that we still hold an interest?

Love the site by the way!

Believable22 Unbelievable6

I think it is still just interest there has bin no bid but I beleive the club will follow that interest up with a bid but not until big andy has left the club IMO
Davylivercabs

Agree0 Disagree0

I really hope not, he is a kick and chase type, and that's not how we play. They all love him on youtube, but all I saw was an average player that really is not worth the 25 shahktar are after for him

Agree0 Disagree0

Really don't want him

Agree0 Disagree0

Youtube clips often are misleading, but I am pretty sure LFC scouts don't make recommendations based on Youtube clips. If BR rates him.
In BR we trust.

Hi eds rakitic has said himself there's talks ongoing with Liverpool, if so where would that leave Allan and Henderson? He plays there position, are we just looking to have a strong squad or is one of the two going to be sold? Cheers

BC {Ed002's Note - Rakitic would be an unusual choice for Liverpool unless a central midfield player is leaving. The long term interest in him is from Lazio where he was expected to move in the summer.}

Believable10 Unbelievable8

Pity, he is a damned fine player. Personally I would prefer him to Alberto.
CR

Agree0 Disagree0

Eds if a player himself says something like this is it usually credible and true? If so who do you is the most likely person he's going to replace as you said that a midfielder will most likely have to go before rakitic can sign?

Chris {Ed002's Note - So he said that "there's talks ongoing with Liverpool"? If that is the case, then I would imagine it is true - but I am not aware of any offer for the player nor any approach to Sevilla by Liverpool at this time.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Rakitic quality player we need more strength in the centre DCM and CM what if Lucas or Gerrard were injured. Hendo and Allen not strong enough on own yet for top 4 EPL. Intelligent signing IMO.

We're going to need a source here.

hi eds, if all this talk about cavani wanting to see through a transfer to real Madrid, where does that leave suarez?, will they sign him too? cheers red rich {Ed002's Note - Real Madrid has a number of players that it is interested in and there are at least five clubs interested in Suarez. Add to that there is interest in Cavani form other clubs, one of which has made a second significant offer to his club, it makes no difference.}

Believable3 Unbelievable4

Both Madrids, Juventus, Bayern, and PSG? Would those be the 5 teams Ed? {Ed002's Note - This has been done to death, but Manchester City rather than PSG - although interest is still being sought by Suarez's representatives and there is a chance other clubs could show an interest. Juventus has continued to look elsewhere and their continued interest will very much depend on what happens with Jovetic and Higuain now they have given up on Alexis Sanchez being an option.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Is it Chelsea that have made a second significant offer ed002? {Ed002's Note - It is unimportant to Liverpool.}

Agree0 Disagree0

5 clubs interested in Suarez, please name them Ed that's just Bull Only 3 or 4 in Europe who can afford him {Ed002's Note - Try not to be such a cretin.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Well it kinda is important cause it is related to Suarez transfer

Agree0 Disagree0

Only 3 or 4 clubs that can afford him in Europe?there are 3 clubs in the prem alone. then add psg, Monaco, baleen Munich, Atletico, real Madrid, Barcelona, anzi, zenit and probably a couple more I forgot.

Agree0 Disagree0

Real Madrid will sign Suarez, Bale and Cavani

Agree0 Disagree0

Surley he won't be sold to another epl club, he's already said he doesn't want to play in England, if he does go we will need to sign a jackson Martinez type player to replace him, otherwise top 6 nevermind top 4 will be out of reach.

Hi Eds do you think a backup keeper will come from the championship? I heard it could be Charltons Ben Hamer? {Ed002's Note - I don't know of interest in goalkeepers from the Championship right now.}

Ed are Liverpool likely to sign another goalkeeper anyway after Doni and Belford were released and Gulacsi was sold? {Ed002's Note - Yes.}

is Akinfeev a possibility for us of we sell Reina {Ed002's Note - No.}

Believable4 Unbelievable17

It'll be Mignolet, whether we sell Reina or not apparently

Agree0 Disagree0

Everton linked with Benfica's Salvio.

How likely is the player to move this summer? Thought he did really well this season and recently signed a long-term contract.

Are we interested? {Ed002's Note - There is a very good chance that he will move and there is serious interest from Everton.}
