Eds,
with man city adding to their midfield, any interest in from Liverpool in jack rodwell. {Ed001's Note - no.}

If we're picking up scraps from Citeh I'd go for James Milner, cracking player who would be a 1st team regular for us! Not sure Rodwell would give us anything we don't have?

Milner no, Rodwell even more no. Contender for the worst rumour ever.

Rodwell?

Are you high?

Suarez is staying, one more season has definitely been agreed in principle, meeting in a few days

Colonial Red

If true and he stays out of trouble, well good. Don't it's true though sorry fella.

JA

A year ago he agreed 4 more years in writing, otherwise known as a contract. To suggest any other type of arrangement exists is foolish.

I find it unwise to believe any claim before August 31st when the biggest bids will come in for him. He's banned for the start of the season and this applies wherever he goes, so nobody is in a rush to move for him.

Source?

He will sign a new deal mate, or so I have heard, did'nt beleive it myself when I got told but he will sign a new deal with a release clause, more concrete than the one in place now, its if we don't qualify for Cl.

Also his brother was on the radio in south america and said Suarez won't sign for another PL club and betray Liverpool. If he goes its Real, but they aren't showing much interest, maybe that's why he is signing a new deal

Eds what this about LS staying and even agreeing a new deal with us? Are people clutching at straws as me like you had thought my days of wearing my lfc shirt with our mad number 7 on the back had long gone! {Ed030's Note - I have no idea mate. }

Don't want any player that doesn't want to play for Liverpool.what would Shanks do? I give 100% and never cheat the people of Liverpool I'm afraid Suarez has

21 Jul 2013 21:24:33
dowt that's guna happen mate. He signed a contract ages ago and now he wants to leave. I say we sell him for 50 million to a team out of the premier league and get soldado from valencia.

He is taking the club and fans on a roller coaster ride that's for sure!

Will he, won't he.

Staying. Going.

Madrid. Arsenal. Bayern Munich.

He might be a great player but he isn't bigger than the club and it needs sorting out ASAP.

No doubt on Monday it will be something else with him.

Gaz1975.

The sooner he leaves and we can move on, the better.

As talented as he is, we don't need the hassle and damage to the club's reputation.

DK

Totally agree. If he is not giving 100% and every time he goes on international duty he opens his mouth too much and the lack of respect he has for wearing the red colours sell him now and get rid of him. Great talent but bad taste and does not deserve to be a red

22 Jul 2013 01:11:47
Does me nut when people say "what would shanks do" I'll tell ya what he'd do, the best for Liverpool, and if keeping suarez is going to make Liverpool better than getting rid, than try and keep suarez he would, are best chance of champions league is of suarez stays! Some easly forget what he done last year, he is world class, and Liverpool need world class players! I really hope he stays, because even with £50m finding some1 as good is neon impossiblen Y.N.W.A

So the Suarez circus will continue at LFC for another year?

No thanks. Get rid now to anyone who offers 40m.

I hope so
He is a world class player who any team in the world would want at their club

Doubt new contract for Suarez but IF it was true then he'd be on bigger wag and that release clause problem would no doubt be settled in his favour. And he's banned for the games we need to win- the first ones - if we're to have a good season.

22 Jul 2013 09:15:52
Suarez would sign for MU if we agreed a deal with Liverpool. The man has no scruples.

Disney!

I still think Suarez is a genius of a football player and no matter what happens with the saga I fully believe he will give 110% in a Liverpool shirt he's just that type of player to be fair who cares if he stays that just adds another 10/20 million onto his market value( if he has another fantastic season

The deal is that he has a release clause in his contract. Basically they are of the opinion that he has tried to instigate a move. So instead of selling him for under why we want we are going to use him as he will give 100% in matches to fire us to champions league then sell him after one or two seasons.

Think about it lads who else is out there or 30 goals a season for why we would get for Suarez and who would come to us. Owners and br have no choice. He will stay, expect an announcement either today or tommorow.

Colonial red

Surely we have got some Aresnal fans commenting on this post. If Torres cost £50 and Cavani costs £55, how come we will let Suarez go for anything less than £50m? Micky was not willing to come despite being offered a good money. That's the problem we are having now, without CL we cannot afford to attract even decent enough playres let alone world class quality players like Suarez. Hence, the money is not the factor here. If we decided to keep him, that would have been done for footballing reasons - and I will appreciate that.

I hope Suarez stay's because he gives us the Xfacter and top 4 is a certainty along with the new additions we've got Aspas Alberto and maybe Papadopoulos and Eriken? plus Coutnho Sterling Sturridge Ibe stepping up. City Man United Chelsea in transition gives us the best chance!

I expect a late £35m bid from Real Madrid towards the end of the transfer window will be accepted.

As some posters have already stated, even if Luis is sold, simply having the money doesn't guarantee the club will be able to secure a replacement of similar ability.

Alot of posters talk about the clubs history, unfortunately our "history" doesn't carry the allure it once did, and with no European football on offering the clubs attractiveness suffers - so what do the supporters advocate? we are trying to compete with Europe's biggest and richest clubs for the same players but in most cases we are behind them in terms of what we can really offer them (players) . yes, in most cases money talks, but the bottom line is the player still has to agree to signing/joining.

Will remind you all that Liverpool would have still finished 7th without Luis Suarez's goals. As good as he is, he didn't single handidly alter our table position. Liverpool can succeed without him.

If it's true, about LS contract, we supporters have to look at what kind of adverse effect, this will have on the other players at the club, those self same players who backed him to the hilt last season. not looking forward to this scenario

"I expect a late £35m bid from Real Madrid towards the end of the transfer window will be accepted."

That has to be one of the most ridiculous comments I've ever seen here. LOL

Is Wenger a possibility for the Barca job Ed? I know his name has come up in the past. {Ed001's Note - not as far as I am aware.}

No, Messi will select the manager, then messi will select the team that is designed round him and then messi will sell Neymar for a tenner as Messi cannot mind control him into passing the ball to Messi.

21 Jul 2013 09:32:38
Rumours are gathering fast that we hve tabled a bid of 7m for Ben Arfa, and willing to include Spearing or go up to 10m. I see this as a great pievce of business because Ben Arfa on his day can take out any different with pace, power and skill. If he does come, I hope the medical team can do a good job on him like they did on Agger and Stevie

Young Baller

We are getting desperate. I have moved to the north east and I know season ticket holders at Newcastle who don't rate him. One game in five he delivers, the other four he is a passenger.

21 Jul 2013 13:54:49
Hes a good player but his fitness is now suspect, I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. We need players who will always be available, suarez, kuyt, carra etc. doesn't matter how talented they are, if they are always picking up injuries, what's the point?

Key issue - on his day!

As the other poster said - he delivers one game out of five, the club does not need anymore players who flatter to deceive and can't be relied upon to put in a shift, especially a player who since arriving in England has been plagued by injuries (admittedly some of those injuries were down to bad luck as opposed to being totally prone), so at this juncture in the clubs transition can we afford a "luxury" player?

He's average! In and out of form! Never seems interested and these days injury prone! There is better out there than him! please avoid

21 Jul 2013 20:00:28
and what would Newcastle do with Spearing? Really?

Exactly - 'on his day.' He's average

22 Jul 2013 01:16:55
Some storys make me laugh we offer £7m but are willing to pay £10m so if newcastle see that, they say NO £7m because we know that ya will pay £10m! Some times people are so dumb or gullable!

Ben Arfa = sick note.

Utter waste of time.

And an even bigger waste of money.

Hi eds,

Quick question I know you don't like listing names off but I don't suppose there has been any interet from Liverpool in English players? Also there have been reports of a rejected enquiry about Bertrand any truth in that? Cheers {Ed002's Note - I don't know what has happened with Bertrand.}

It was reported somewhere last week that we had enquired about Bertrand but quickly dropped interest due to the Chelsea asking price.

An approach to Chelsea for Ryan Bertrand was rejected according to the Daily Telegraph. I personally do not see the point in signing him.
The Gooch

He's a good replacement for Enrique imo.

He can play LM and it allows them to loan out Robinson with Enrique eventually replaced.

There's more to it than just Enrique being replaced. It's about being able to play a narrow front line - two attacking midfielders and two holding/playmaking, say Gerrard and Lucas with countinho and Suarez behind sturridge. Then we can use attacking full backs to supply the extra width. Bertrand would be far more suited to this system than Enrique.

Hardly seems like a priority area, in my completely biased opinion I have faith in Robinson to replace Enrique.

Richards

He's only alright I don't ever see him being good enough for us to want him to be our LB for the next 10 years!

20 Jul 2013 23:28:00
Could Liverpool turn their attention to Alvaro Dominguez Soto for the centre back option?
Have seen rumours that we showed interested in him when Brendan Rodgers first took charge.

Surely a bid to bring Kyrgiakos back would suit FSG - no fee and low wages.

Hi eds I have seen reports that we are willing to meet Soldado release clause. Any truth in these reports? {Ed001's Note - not that I have heard of.}

20 Jul 2013 22:14:20
Hi guys this is from a source who has given me a lot of accurate information, he reckons this is nailed on, when this happens please remember the name.

Recruitment team heading to Melbourne tommorow as they have the green light to move for jorginho all that's missing is the official bid, this will be wrapped up next week.

Suarez will be meeting br and Ian Ayre who will ask for one more season from him, if he says no then he will be sold within days to the highest bidder.

We will be signing llori either this week or next week, Liverpool know what they need to do to secure the transfer.

If Suarez goes then a replacement will be made, source has no idea as br and Ayre convinced Suarez will do a u turn.

In terms of players leaving, open to offers for Coates and skrtel and downing, more than likely Coates will go but that's it.

Please wait to see this happen before you criticise the information.

Colonial red

So Jorginho and Ilori are the exciting players BR was taling about? You must be joking.

Not questioning your legitimacy as I have no grounds to, however I do hope you are wrong on the Jorginho front as I seriously believe him to be a shocking replacement purchase following missing on Mkhitaryan as both play the same position.

Yes he is a fairly decent young player however I doubt would make the first team, possibly limiting the chances for similar position players such as Henderson.

Personally I believe he would fall into the category of a young player with potential but in the short term only a squad player, and we need to aim higher than this if we are to compete with our rivals for the top 4.

Sorry for the rant just my personal opinion.

All this has been known for a couple months now, are u bored?

21 Jul 2013 01:55:59
Common knowledge and educated guess springs to mind! But hey! call me a synic

I do have trust issues!

Herbiehyde

Or even a cynic. :-)

Ok but if I said it as it was eriksen and papadopolous you would of said the same thing.

Just wait and see what happens

Never heard of him.Sounds good, but then all brazilian names sound good.Is he good on FIFA or something?Very clever these south americans all they have to do is put an "inho" on the end of there name and there the next pele.
Ginerboloxerihno

Agree with some here in that there is nothing here we haven't known for at least 7-8 weeks, I could have posted the same thing. So yes I will remember your name.

I don't mean to critical because I'm happy for people to express themselves but saying that anything is nailed on gives less credibility, we all know that things change quickly.

Nevada

Pele-Inho?

Well like I said before, if I had of said any other player we are linked with you would of said the same thing. To save yourself being proved wrong why don't you wait to see what happens next week before you start criticising, instead of doing it now.

Thanks

21 Jul 2013 18:58:52
Also, to confirm, when you read the post that was told to me. Of course things can change but when I am given information I won't change how it is told to me that's exactly what he said.

Why is the recruitment team heading to Melbourne? is jorginho on holiday there?
