Martin Odegaard has been called the next Leo Messi apparently. and is attracting a lot of interest from many big clubs including bayern and real. I hear he's also a big reds fan. do you know of any interest from us or is it just a waste of time to compete against the other clubs do you think?

Cheers

{Ed002's Note - This is months old news, sorry. As explained he will end up at Real Madrid - just possibly via Ajax - there have been some

ha next messi. why are these audacious joke's about this danish donut being made. Sterling is our next messi and god did he show us tonight. Really proud to see him finally open up a quality european defence and champs league final goal keeper. Sterling is the business.

Agree0 Disagree1

Well, all og you are wrong.

1. he's not danish but Norwegian.

2. He will arrive at real at the end of the week, and he will play for Castilla until the summer.

3. He isn't the next Messi, he is Ødegaard and will become better than Leo Messi. ;-)

Agree0 Disagree0

He's only just turned 16 years old. Granted he's an early bloomer, but that doesn't mean he'll reach Messi's level. He is being massively over-hyped, Theo Walcott style.

Is there any news on who's leading the chase for Martin Odegaard signature yet Ed?

Believable4 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - There is no "chase" - as explained he will end up at Real Madrid - just possibly via Ajax - there have been some discussions.}

(meant to post this on banter - posted it in yesterdays by mistake - sorry)

Just reading the following story on Sky.

"Lucas Leiva is pivotal to Liverpool's recent upturn in form and must not be sold, says Jamie Carragher"

Really glad to see this. If only so the types that get all their opinions from pundits might finally see the obvious.

If only Gerrard had expressed such thoughts to the press regarding Lucas, perhaps then, he (Lucas) wouldn't have been marginalised by BR to the point that he is/was on the verge of quitting.

But then, Stevie had his place in the team - so he clearly had a conflict in interest - and he made it clear that he would not be a bit-part player. He'd seemingly rather we endured him at DM against Palace and Utd (with obvious results), rather than question the mistreatment of Lucas.

Fair play to Carra. He always has displayed more knowledge about the coaching and tactical side of the game than Gerrard.

Now maybe even BR will get the message regarding Lucas.

Maybe Rodgers can apologise to him, and start trying to convince him to stay.

Lucas has been our player of the season imo - he has turned the season round, and held our shambles of a setup together well enough to help scrape us some badly-needed points, following a disastrous tactical calamity of a start.

- yet despite all this - our manager doesn't even seem sure that he should be in our squad!

You couldn't make this stuff up.

{Ed002's Note - Carragher has no influence over transfers or anything else at Liverpool. There has been interest in Lucas from both Napoli and Inter - and both would have liked to take him on loan in January. The player has made it clear that he does not wish to move to Naples but would like to move to Inter Milan and his representatives negotiated a deal for a permanent move to Inter. There was however a complication in that Inter were in negotiations with another player (but the deal would require the approval of FIFA). However, Inter dropped their interes in the other player and made an offer to Liverpool. That was rejected and although it looked like a second offer would be made, Inter feel that they are being messed around by Liverpool in this matter and have turned their attention to Atletico's Mario Suarez. Napoli may press again but with Benitez leaving at the end of the season they may not provide a longer-term solution the player is looking for. The interest of Gremio will likely be rejected by the player but his representatives are looking to approach Atletico and Arsenal if they cannot get interest from Inter rekindled.}

ZK

your man love for lucas see's no bounds lol, but i see you have blinkers on with him, can i point out that he is not the only reason the team has been playing better, you have to give credit to the other players as well, you know my thoughts on lucas, and for me i have to admit he is playing better and he is cutting out his mistakes, don't get me wrong he is doing his job well at the moment and i put it down to him getting games time he has helped the team because he has his position covered so the other players don't have to cover him or gerrard especially, so let's just say lucas is playing well, just as other are playing well and i think BR has come up with a formation that suits the team and the players, for a machine to perform at its top capacity all the parts have to be working to their strengths, and for me the way lucas is playing well so are the other players, as in couthinio, markovic and hendo, so instead of praising your main man give the whole team some credit, even migs is starting to play well, so let's just be thankful that we are moving in the right direction and that the team is winning playing well and not letting goals in, and i will leave it to you to give lucas the pat on the back and an love bite :)) lol

When you say messed around I take it you mean Liverpool just don't want to sell? And why would they when he's an integral part of the squad.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool had given him permission to find a new club.}

A Liverpool rep flies to Murcia, Spain. Not much there . other than Borussia Dortmund's training camp at La Manga

anyone got any other info on this?

Source : KOPTALK Dunk is at the hotel where Dortmund are staying trying to find out info

Believable2 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - He has to be some sort of idiot. There is no part of the transfer process that includes the stalking of the players at training camps. Perhaps the "Liverpool rep" should have visited London (where the Liverpool Commercial office is) when a representative of Borussia Dortmund was there discussing transfers with another club.}

20 Jan 2015 13:36:32
Or maybe someone who works for Liverpool has gone on holiday? Murcia is quite nice at this time of year - reasonably warm for a winter getaway!

Agree1 Disagree0

I don't know what's more shocking. The fact that people actually part with their hard earned cash to receive this information or they actually believe he as inside knowledge.

Agree3 Disagree0

Dunc from Koptalk is the biggest fraud out there. Why would anyone believe his bull-crabs is beyond me.

Craigy has taken that info out of context

hi eds . lately we are hearing a lot about benzema anything concrete on it ?

Believable6 Unbelievable7

{Ed002's Note - Not for January.}

20 Jan 2015 11:21:56
Ed002, does your reply mean there may be a possibility of Benzema in the summer? Obviously we will have to sell to buy, but if we were to move on Balotelli and Borini we could probably afford his right leg at least, right?

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - PSG are looking for a high-profile French signing in the summer - and Benzema is one of the options. There may also be interest from Manchester United and possibly Liverpool.}

20 Jan 2015 17:09:36
Thanks for your reply Ed002. I am a massive fan of Benzema so would be delighted to see him in the red of Liverpool. Him and Sturridge together with Coutinho, Lallana, Sterling etc. providing the ammo is a mouth watering prospect. Financially we cannot compete with the two clubs you've mentioned so I won't get too excited!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The first issue is to sell to raise the money for any such purchases.}
