Just heard a rumour that brad friedel is already on his way to liverpool on a free! I don't see the point but justs wondering if there's any truth in this?

united close to signing young, , , , , , , this deal reminds me of shaun wright phillips to chelsea deal, , , sitting on bench most of season gathering dust, ruining his career he was doing good till he moved to chelseam and same with young now hes gunna go be bench warmer

Hazard deal edging closer. Certainly not a dead cert but it is now down to a three horse race of suitors.

Mata extremely close to signing. Dotting i's and crossing t's is all that is left. Saying that it will not be made official to the public for a few weeks.

Enrique deal will probably be announced within 1/ 2 weeks.

Gary Cahill will not sign. He will most likely be heading to London.

A centre back will be bought late into the transfer window. Would be wise to take a punt on one of Dann and Jones.

Young will go to United. Aguero himself doesn't know where he is going. We are interested put I very much doubt Liverpool will buy him.

M'vila has said to the press he is looking forward to next season with Rennes but Commoli is trying to work is magic. This deal is would be a coup if successful. Charlie Adam will be a fallback option[a good one at that].

hey eds, doing a great job as ever. Question, do you know the extenrt of owen hargreaves injuries? Would it be worth liverpool offering a play as you play deal, or are his k, or are his knees totally shot? Would be an amazing free signing on a pay as play contract, at his best one of the finest versatile midfielders in europe

{Ed002's Note - I don't know about his injuries but it is a non starter as an idea. The cost of insurance would be astronomical if nothing else.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 23:21:39
Few of our Target may didnt join us this year. 1. Sancez Udinese is in CL fotball he may like to play for them unless huge money been paid.
2. Hazrat Lille is in CL football so same thing can happen too.
3.Mata well even valencia is in CL but they are face huge financial back up as have to pay loan intarest so have a chance.
4. Aguero sum of us say its can happen sum said big dream. but Atlantico is not in CL and we have good relation with them, Torres was from there, we do play few friendly match with them for torres deal clouse. can be happen.
we can get Benzama as Mourinho stying in Real and benzama is dislike by him so he may like to move with us. what do you think Ed? {Ed002's Note - Out of all of these players there is perhaps a slim chance of Mata and perhaps Benzema.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 22:54:58
Hello eds, I read that Villareal will sign Sergio Canales for 10M euros. Are we no longer interested in him? {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any firm interest from Liverpool in the player. Arsenal and manchester City enquired as did Villareal. I suspect that the player has no interest in either a loan move or a move away from Spain.}

Rumour doing rounds on the Newcastle pages that Carroll is unhappy at Liverpool. Or that he's been in trouble for going out on the lash or something.

Any of you Liverpool fans heard anything about that?

 

 

 

24 May 2011 23:06:51
Robbie Keane to make a sensational u-turn to Liverpool for a cut price 6 million? Rumours fulham may be intrested with Zamora joining another premier league club could be everton or newcastle. What you think ed? Keane for rotational back up. Gotta be better than having Ngog as backup surely? {Ed001's Note - erm no.}

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Your joking right ? Have you seen him play the last year or so ? Even Ngog is more reliable

Re marin and source, the same person who told me hazard will not be coming to england but instead will go to italy

 

 

 

24 May 2011 22:53:32
Balague just said on ss1 revista de la liga. Kun A. Real Madrid won't be siting as a. Madrid won't accept money. Deal was agreed by real and kun agent back in jan this year but only if a. Madrid agree.

A. Madrid will never all to Real. It's like Stevie being sold to scum by lfc.

Juva have an offer accepted but kun dong Wang to go there. So could this mean kun A. Coming to EPL probably city , chelsea n reds chasing. Of putting for us may be he's wage demand after tax rumour to be £200000.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 22:51:02
Tottenham Hotspur will offer Liverpool, striker Robbie Keane as bait to try and lare Liverpool attacking midfielder Joe Cole to White Hart Line. The deal will be a swap deal including additional fees after appearances. Liverpool will gain 2-3 million in the deal. You heard about this ed? {Ed001's Note - nope.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 22:49:27
letting you know were going to sign owen for 7 million as a back up striker watch this space .

Who is this 7 million going to he's out of contract? And he wants to move so he can play first team football anyway so there is little chance of this.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 22:48:15
Liverpool will sign Stephen Warnock for around 3 million from Aston Villa on a 2 year deal. Scott Dann will sign on a 4 year deal from Birmingham for a fee of 6 million. Scott Parker to sign on a 2 year contract for around 6 million. Charlie Adam will sign from Blackpool on a 5 year deal for around 10 milion. Robbie Keane will sign on a 2 year deal for around 5 million. These are the signings for Liverpool this summer. Liverpool will let all the dead wood go.

.........................

Your missing the point mate, we're supposed to be seeling deadwood, not buying it!

I'd only take Dann out of that list, Parker at an extreme push.

Stu.

i reported a few weeks ago that Liverpool were in for shane long, i can confirm that this is still the case but we seem to have turn our attention to other targets as there seems to be more options available to strengthen our Squad in that area, this is also down to shane long not making any decision on his future till next week at least. im not saying all this information is 100% accurate since it is so hard to get a reliable source or any information at all out of liverpool now with KD and the new owners !!
also, i would love liverpool to sign at least two quality wingers! i know alot of names have been banded about! to many to make any sense of , but what wingers do you think are the mostly likely for us to sign ed???

LP {Ed001's Note - hard to say to be honest, most players are taking a break before thinking about their futures. Payet still seems a likely option though.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 22:28:34
Ed, we have spoken of marin to spurs before and now after sunday evening im going to say i was 80% certain he would join spurs but now im 90% certain he is off to spurs! As i understand if big bids come in for lennon or huddlestone then they would be the only two high profile players leaving whl, but as for marin indication are suggssting spurs

Hi there, just wanted to shed a little light on the whole whos coming and going with our beloved Liverpool FC. I live about a 5 min walk from Liverpools football academy and I have a good friend who is a physio there, (he works with both the senior and the youth squads) when I spoke to him recently he told me that KK and DC had a list of 10 players for 5 different posistions( 2 for each posistion, so they've got a 1st choice and a 2nd choice for each posistion). The posistions we are looking to fill are CB, LB, LM, RM, CM. The 2 CB's Dann, Jones 2 LB's Clichy, Enrique 4 wide players Young, Downing, Elia and Mata 2 CM Adam, Keita. He did'nt say who the 1st choices were but without wanting to sound like Rafa Benitez, this is all fact. This comes from the same person who told me within a week of Rafa leaving that Hodgson was going to be the next manager and told me the exact date and time the Suarez deal was going to be confirmed to the public 3 days before it happened.
So can we please stop with the Aguero nonsense, he'a great player but were not even looking at him.
Great site by the way, Eds comments would be welcome. {Ed001's Note - seems strange there is no Sissoko in there when it is known that Comolli has told him that he is seen as Gerrard's long term successors.}

ed- what about marko marin will do the same job as aguero and would be alot cheaper? but do we have a chance, i personally believe we do ;) {Ed002's Note - Perhaps a chance of Marko Marin.}

Ed, we have spoken of marin to spurs before and now after sunday evening im going to say i was 80% certain he would join spurs but now im 90% certain he is off to spurs! As i understand if big bids come in for lennon or huddlestone then they would be the only two high profile players leaving whl, but as for marin indication are suggssting spurs

 

 

 

24 May 2011 21:54:46
Can you ban Aguero rumours, or put them in the wishlish section, or even an Aguero Rumours page
Thanks
Dj {Ed002's Note - I get nailed up if I just delete posts. Don't worry I think we are back to Sanchez tomorrow - or is it Neymar?}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 21:50:35
Hope this is correct but a friend of mine who has connections just told me joe cole may be joining spurs as part of a deal to bring jermaine Defoe to anfield. What you think ed? {Ed002's Note - I guess it could happen.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 21:50:32
I posted on here after the Chelsea game at Anfield that Torres would go to Chelsea and Benitez wouldn't be too far behind. I got mocked for it! 50% true, watch this space.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 21:50:22
so which of these players that liverpools been linked with since january is most likely to end up at anfield in the summer?
MARKO MARIN
DIEGO
JUAN MATA
JAVIER PASTORE
SHANE LONG
JAMES MCCARHTY
PHIL JONES
ELIA
WIJNALDUM
CHARLIE ADAM
SERGIO CANALES
PACO ALACACER
GREIZMANN
CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN

 

 

 

24 May 2011 21:47:53
With Pirlo being confirmed as a Juventus player now, will that have an affect on Aquilani's situation, if so he'll probably be touted to other Italian clubs. Also, with the Aguero situation and everyone ignoring how unlikely it is, it may be worth just having a banner saying: Aguero chances of signing for LFC = 1/ 10 - Hopefully that'll stop the questions.
Alex

 

 

 

24 May 2011 21:47:16
Hey Ed

What are the chances of these signings? reason being is because i realistically believe these are the players that will be coming in this summer.

Friedel
Downing
Dann
Marveaux
Enrique {Ed002's Note - All are possible.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 21:45:08
Hi Eds,

I'd really appreciate it if you could put a post on the rumours page to let people who might be interested know that I do a podcast called the Liverpool view which can be found on iTunes or www.podbean.com

I make no money out of the podcast it is free to listen and I make it for my own enjoyment and that of anyone else who likes to listen.

If you can't post I understand

Thanks

suprised teams arent going mad for "the new mess". marko marin is quality.
ed- do you think we will get him? and are we intrested? {Ed002's Note - I refer to earlier answers, there is a small chance.}

Liverpool linked with Bordeaux Left-Back Beno t Tr moulinas.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 21:22:13
Sylvain Marveaux of Rennes is still strongly linked with Liverpool over a possible summer move to the club.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 21:19:04
Highly-rated defender Neven Subotic has revealed he dreams of a future move to the Premier League, but believes he will stay at Borussia Dortmund this summer.

The Serbia international has been linked with a number of clubs in the English top flight, including Arsenal and Chelsea, after helping Dortmund to the Bundesliga title and UEFA Champions League qualification this season.

Subotic admits he would like to follow in the footsteps of fellow Serbians Nemanja Vidic and Branislav Ivanovic and make the switch to England at some point in the future.

But the 22-year-old expects to stay in Germany with Dortmund next season as the champions embark on a European adventure.

"My big dream is to play in England. I don't care where - maybe with Ivanovic at Chelsea or Vidic at Manchester United. It doesn't matter."

Neven Subotic

Quotes of the week

Dream
"Next season we will be in the Champions League and I think that I will still play for Borussia. But my big dream is to play in England, " Subotic told the Serbian Football Association's official website.

"I don't care where - maybe with Ivanovic at Chelsea or Vidic at Manchester United. It doesn't matter. I see myself in England."

Subotic has also been linked with a move to Dortmund's Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich, but the defender has poured cold water on such speculation.

He added: "Bayern? No, that path is not for me."

With this in mind could we bid for him in january knowing that the player wants a move to the prem and his a very good player and could replace our veterans in defence.

Spoke to a man at Melwood he says he over heard a conversation about a possible for Jack Wilshere moving for around 40 million, any truth in this ED ?

YNWA {Ed002's Note - Nope. And I will again get trashed for this.}

Ed I ain't gonna trash you, quiet the opposite, people need to be realistic, seriously! Just because Aguero says he wants to leave Aletico it doesn't mean it's a done deal he's gonna sign for us for whatever crazy fee people band about! Also why would he want to join a team that doesn't have european football next season let alone champions league, unfortunately this a v important deal breaker that we can't offer, unfortunate but true. I keep seeing people brandish about 80-100 million been spent summer, people forget that KK clearly stated it doesn't matter if player v expensive or v cheap as long as they bring extra quality to the squad. I think he'll sign 5/ 6 players max. But don't surprised if we end up with a net spend of about 20/ 30 million!

 

 

 

24 May 2011 20:49:51
hey ed just concerning one of the posts below, the post was a great a read and i agree with alot of it, it was the post saying about buying potential at cheaper fees than the a fully developed player. i agree that is the way forward. but.... in the last few years, any young player that has shown potential has immediatley had a unreal price tag put on there head, rodwell as an example, great potential, but quotes to united were in the region of 30m plus, for a player that may or may not be a good player in the future, oxlade chamberlain another, wickham would comand a fee for anything between 10-15m. lukaku would be another that quotes are 25-30m because hes shown potential in a very poor league. is it not a gamble either way to invest in potential, babal looked to have a bright future when we signed him but never lived up to the expectation. mark gonzalez, was another hot prospect that failed. i would love to pay 15m for a player that turned out to have the same impact as a "nasri", but is that not what all clubs are trying to do anyway, find the best at the cheapest prices??
potential yes, of course but also experience, potential needs to be brought on, young players need to learn and improve, and that comes from having experience around them not only from the coaching staff, but on the pitch aswell from senior players. a young centre back in kelly would improve much better next to jaime carragher than he would next to a daniel agger, even tho agger is proberly the better player overall. i think any player that will improve the squad will be an option, but the fee has to be realistic to the players age, for example scott parker at 7-9m is in my opinion good business if he improves the squad, but scott parker at 20m is unrealistic if you will only get 3 years out of him. he is also a prime example that potential can be a big gamble as he made his debut at 16/ 17, i think and only when he reaches the later stages of his career has he truley reached it. chelsea paid big money for him, didnt really pull up any trees at newcastle etc but been fantastic for both west ham and england when given his chance of late.
not trying to abuse that guys post, as i agree with what it is he has said, just trying to look at it from the other side of the fence.
ed your thoughts would be great

24 May 2011 20:11:00
Hi Ed Just Been Looking At The Other Comment About Aguero Personally I Think He Would Be An Ideal Signing For The Strike Force Along With Carroll Move Suarez To The Left As I No He Is Good At Cutting In And Hsas The Skill To Create Things I Am 75% Sure Liverpool Will Sign Aguero In The Next Few Days Maybe Even Week As His Best Pal Is Maxi And Ive Also Herd Loads Of Rumours His Last Interview He Had Said I Remember Watching The Champions League Final And Celebrating To Every Goal Like It Was My Own Club He Had Also Said He Has Been A Liverpool Fan For As Long As He Can Remember And He Has The Same Agent As Maxi So Hopefully Good Things Will Happen I Am Also Very Sure Liverpool Will Sign Friedel , Adam , Downing , Enrique / Clichy & Diego Not Sure About The Likes Of Hazard And Contrao And Others so How Reliable Do You Think It Is :D {Ed002's Note - I don't expect Aguero to sign in the next few days.}

hi eds, was just wondering what were our chances on signing irish youngsters james mccarthy and shane long? have you heard anything? {Ed002's Note - McCarthy is attracting interest and will likely be available - so a definate maybe. Long will not even be thinking about his future until Tuesday - so we have to wait.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 19:53:19
Hi Ed i was just wondering weather you think that liverpool will and can buy world class players like aguero, sanchez etc..or are we just going to spend another season buying o.k/ mediocre players like meireles

{Ed002's Note - "World Class" is an entirely subjective term. Barcelona never bought a "world class" Messi. Did Bordeaux but a "world class" Zidane? There are less attractive areas of the squad that require strengthening and I am sure Liverpool will come back stronger after the summer.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 19:47:07
A list of targets i was given from someone inside Melwood - i expect a couple of these players and possibly one other larger signing that is 20million +


-Friedel (looks almost done),
-Baines, P.Jones, Cissokho, Samba, Enrique , Cahill
-Charlie Adam, Matuidi, Sissoko, Widjnedum, Scott Parker,
-Jarvis, Downing, Mata, Lennon, N'Zogbia,
-Iker Muniain, Bojan, Rodallega, Defoe

Marca reporting Aquero on the point of joining Madrid

 

 

 

24 May 2011 19:37:40
Don't mean to put a dampener on things, but I don't think there will be any of these "marquee" players mentioned here bought (if pushed, really pushed, I'd say there's an outside chance of Mata).
Sanchez, Aguero, Hazard, Pastore, Hulk, Cissokho, Neymar, Ganso, Benzema, Hamsik etc won't be coming.

Folks would do well to remember what FSG said about player recruitment when they took over: exploit the untapped markets of players with exceptional potential and are low-cost. Some not so much exceptional as quiet good.
Some of these players include:

-Phil Jones, Kygriakos Papodopolous, Scott Dann, Emilio Izaguirre, Jose Angel,

-Eljero Elia, Dmitri Payet, Diego Perroti, Ashley Young, Renato Augusto, Marko Marin, Antoine Griezmann, Gervihno, Andre Ayew, Aaron Lennon, Arda Turan, Iker Munian

-Moussa Sissoko, Charlie Adam, Yann M'Vila, Blaise Matuidi, Javi Martinez, Steven Defour, Axel Witsel, James McCarthy, Biram Kayal,

-Ezequiel Lavezzi, Ricky van Wolfswinkle, Lukaku


I think FSG would be willing to pay the big bucks for big players when that's justified, hence I included Lukaku in that list. He'll command a hefty amount but at his age, with his potential, he'll be a sound investment.
This is also precisely the reason why I'm surprised that LFC hasn't shown any interest in Alexis Sanchez.

He's first and foremost a winger, which we need. A classy winger, young and presents massive commercial opportunities.
His price tag would well have been worth it.
£45m for young Sanchez makes a lot more sense than £38m for Aguero, who we don't need.
But I digress.

Jones, Augusto, Payet, Sissoko are FSG type players.
You'll remember how John Henry's often praised the Arsenal model.
The idea is to have Nasris, Vermalens.
Relatively cheap but massive, massive potential.

Imagine if we bought Payet/ Augusto/ Elia for just under £15m and he had the same impact as Nasri has at the Gooners.
That would be brilliant, wouldn't it?
Well that's the idea, and I myself am sold on.

But of course, that doesn't mean LFC won't spend £25m on a player. If the move is justified (like Suarez, Sakho), then we'll pay.
Which is why I think if, IF there's going to be some "marquee", £20m signings, I'd bet on Lukaku and Mata.

I find it unfortunate how folks have worked themselves into this frenzy of high expectations about "high profile" signings. This is only going to result in undue recriminations at the owners when none of the expected, much frenzied "marquees" arrive.

What we need are the right players of the required quality who'll be able to be part of the team.
With that said, I would be a happy camper if we signed the following:

-Mamadou Sakho
-Arda Turan
-Dmitri Payet
-Renato Augusto
-Moussa Sissoko
-Yann M'Vila
-Ezequiel Lavezzi

Ed, how likely would this team be?

Unsigned {Ed002's Note - I think you have been very realistic with pretty much everything said here.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 19:30:16
I'd agree with the guy a few comments below, I agree, although aguero is brilliant, I agree spending our money on hulk would be more beneficial! Three up front, Suarez Carroll and hulk, whilst also putting huge effort to signing hazard and mata, or maybe Elia or Turan ! Would people agree?

 

 

 

24 May 2011 19:21:49
eljero elia needs to be made a priority ive been following him since the world cup, hes close to becoming a permanent fixture for the national team hes a exciting , young, raw talent thats ready to walk straight into our first team. hes also improved his defensive side of play while at hamburg great at counter attacking which would suit us lovely i think

24 May 2011 19:06:32
Aguero will be a Real Madrid player, based on facts.

Mata has had contact from three british clubs none have bid, just enquired.

Adam was on a plane to Ireland when he was in Liverpool, strange amazing skills.

Young is going to United, along with De gea.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 19:04:37
Just wanted to let every one no that we will not buying kun as we don't have 45m to spend on one player we will most pronly bring in 3 20m players and maybe 2-3 more smaller players for atone 4-7m
Ins - parker/ adam
Diego? Possibly
Mata/ hazard
Dann - cb from abroad
Lb - not sure but deffo getting one
Defoe? Maybe and if kun goes to real as he most probly will we might go for benzima(spelling) thanks.

Just click on a link that on lfc.tv that said... - 'Liverpool are being strongly linked with a move for a former Kop No.1' - Clicked with great anticipation and it's Brad Friedel! I was thinking that they meant a Kop No.1 fans favourite! Was a bit underwhelmed when you expect to read Xabi Alonso and it's Braders!

He is welcome though - come on home Brad!

 

 

 

24 May 2011 18:57:42
juve are really trying to land aguero, and also tevez, i thought this was hype but it seems juventus want to make a statement of intent whether they get one or not they are deffinetly in advanced talks with both agents and clubs.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 18:57:14
Mata has had contact from man.u, man.c and us. Valencia would accept bid of between £18-£22 million. This is absolutely true.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 18:48:29
Lets look at this Aguero thing logically,
Its going to cost a fair amount of £'s to prise him away from Athletico even if he wants to leave. His wages are going to be higher than anyone else in the squads, surely looking towards the 200K a week bracket.

Then if the seemingly impossible happened and we do make him our "Marquee" signing, then what? Drop £35
Carrol? Or Suarez who's been lighting our last couple of games virtually on his own? I honestly don't know what formation you would play to fit the lot of them in because neither Carrol or Suarez are going to want to be a bench warmer.
Also I see Champions League football being an issue a player of Aguero's calibre is surely going to want to play on the big stages in the largest competitions?

To sum the Aguero transfer up, I personally think its very optimistic, Dont get me wrong I'm not saying Liverpool can't attract the highest quality players, but with no Champions League is going to hinder signing the best at the present moment. Fingers crossed and we pull of what would be one of the biggest Coups our club would have ever achieved!

Cheers for reading.

ED if Aguero goes to Real Madrid as expected do you think it would be worth trying to sign Gonzalo Higuain??

Bigred 81 {Ed002's Note - I am not convinced that he will necessarily be moving to Real Madrid but I don't see Higuain leaving Real Madrid. Remember Emmanuel Adebayor has been returned to manchester City after his loan.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 18:44:54
Are liverpool an unattractive offer?

Manchester United have made a formal approach to Aston Villa in the hope of landing Liverpool target Ashley Young. Sir Alex Ferguson is confident of landing Ashley Young.

Benzema. what happen with that deal? {Ed002's Note - Arsenal and Juventus did seem to be ahead in the Benzema stakes, perhaps Liverpool and Manchester United will declare a renewed interest as well. This could be one that drags out all summer - if he does indeed leave Real Madrid.}

Hi ed do you think liverpool will try to sign eljerio elia. {Ed002's Note - Elia looked nailed on for Valencia and I think may be a good prospect. Liverpool walked away from the asking price in January but may be interested again. If not, I suspect he may stay another year in Hamburg.}

do you think Aguero could end up at manchester utd. {Ed002's Note - Or Real Madrid, or Juventus or Chelsea.}

How can you say Juventus has a good chance. U say Every good player we linked with will not be comin because we don't have CL. Then what does Juve offer.This is what annoys me. U say i'm pathetic. I know u don't have guts to post this. But you{the kind of LFC fans} we are so ashamed of. Juve have better chance of signing aguero than us. This doesnt mean we have a good chance, but this is utter disrespect to the club from a Liverpool fan.
P.s I don't hide in anonymity of internet.
LFC INDIA

{Ed002's Note - I have not said players will not join Liverpool because there is no Champions League. That is simply you putting words in to my mouth. I explained more than 10 days ago that Sergio Aguero's representatives were to be in Turin on May 16 and 17 having discussions with Juventus. You chose not to believe me and that is entirely up to you. So you are ashamed of me for telling you the truth - so I guess would much rather I lie to you. And quite frankly your rant is childish and pathetic.}

Balague just stated on SS1 that Aguero has indeed requested to be allowed to leave, and asked that any bid which matches (or is close enough to) the 45M buyout clause in his contract should be accepted without adding on the normal tax which usually gets added to transfers for players in La Liga. He also said that Aguero and Real Madrid have agreed a deal between them, but he won't be allowed to go there unless the bid is accepted by Athletico, who have stated the only way they'll sell to Real is if the extra tax is added.

He also mentioned Juventus are willing to match the buyout clause, didn't mention anyone else though.

{Ed002's Note - So nothing new then. You have known all of this for the past 10 days.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 18:16:42
Gulliem balague says real have put up the money for kun, it's up to kun and atletico to decide if he goes there

 

 

 

24 May 2011 18:04:15
LooK let's put this to bed about Aguerro - He is not coming to Liverpool, he is going to Real Madrid. I live in Madrid and all the radio stations, Marca, AS, etc are reporting that Real Madrid have come to an agreement with Aguerro. When marca reports it, it means it will happen as they are basically saying what florentino tells them.

All Aguerro needs to do is pay his escape clause and then he is free to sign for whomever he feels like. No agreement is needed to be made with Atletico Madrid, they have to accept it. they cannot decide where he goes.

Typically the player gets the money from the club he is signing for and deposits into the Bank of the club he is leaving. Atletico madrid in this case cannot do anything about it.

That is how it works in Spain. This is how Luis Figo left Barcelona for Real Madrid. He signed an agreement to join Real madrid if Florentino Perez won the presidential election. he was to receive his contract and the money for the buy-out clause placed in his account to then be sent to barca.

Spurs were prepared to do this in january but Aguerro asked for too much money (roughly 400,000 euros a week before tax). the real reason he did this was he had an agreement with Real madrid but Real madrid could only pay at the end of the season.

So let's stop talking about him, he will not be coming.

Just heard a sickening rumour, apparently Chelsea and City have put 50mil bids in for Suarez and he might leave coz of lack of European football and we will use the money for Aguero coz he's got his mind set on joining us. Hope Suarez doesnt go but hope we sign Aguero, Imagine Kun and Suarez strike force defenders will be having nightmares.
___________________________________
I think the Suarez you are referring to is the 17 year old Celta Vigo's starlet Denis Suarez. And another 50 Million bid? Isn't is abit clich ?

 

 

 

24 May 2011 17:57:46
I think its more likely to be something like this:

Star Buy > Eden hazard


Ibrahim Tour (younger brother to yaya + kolo strong forward cover/ natural athlete) > out Ngog

one striker
Ashley Young > out Aquilani

Sylvain Marveaux > out El Zhar


Matthew Jarvis > Jovanovic
Chris Humphrey > J Cole
4 wingers

Charlie Adams > out Gerrard
1 creative mid
Scot Parker > out Poulsen
1 defensive mid


Jose Enrique > out Degen
Stephen Warnock > out Konchesky (carra semi retirement stage cover)
2 lbk
Gary Cahill > out Kyrgiakos
1 Cbk

Brad Friedel > out Renia
1 GK
#


But some of the transfers depend on players like Gerrard and Renia leaving

 

 

 

24 May 2011 17:28:15
Arda Turan, James Milner, Charlie Adam, Scott Dann will sign. Combined total of 45mil. Expect other signings. Don't rule out a bid for Bryan Ruiz and Diego. 15 mil for Ruiz and 9 mil for Diego. Diego is still only 26

 

 

 

24 May 2011 17:27:10
Sorry Eds! I forgot to enclose this rumour in my previous post! I was informed yesterday that Everton are arranging to meet representatives of Michael Owen to disguss a transfer! would this make him the most hated player in Liverpool's history? Has anybody else heard this one? Just another striker to clog up Evertons ever growing injury room which irionically is already full of strikers. Thoughts ed's? LOVE IT!

Hi Eds

Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP THE AGUERO RUMOURS.THE Ed's are nearly having a breakdown.They believe that it is not likely to happen so give them a break.Im sure if anything changes they will let us know.

On a more serious note have we moved away from Marin as rumours seem to have faded away.I have noticed however we are being linked again with Elia?

Do you think one of them is a possibility ?

REDFORLIFE {Ed002's Note - Elia looked nailed on for Valencia and I think may be a good prospect. Liverpool walked away from the asking price in January but may be interested again. If not, I suspect he may stay another year in Hamburg. Lesser chance of Marko Marin but a chance.}

Ed do you think that the rumours about aguero signing for LFC soon are true thanks

{Ed002's Note - Sadly not.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 17:00:16
I have heard that Liverpool are currently in talks with Aguero's agent and that a deal in principle has been agreed but nothing has been signed and will not be signed until his agent has spoken with other interested clubs.

Liverpool are said to be his first choice other than the fact that we cannot offer him European football

 

 

 

24 May 2011 16:53:26
Agureo can sign for according to Atletico chairman anyone except Real Madrid and the buy out clause is 45 million.Spanish newspapers mentioned a few clubs that were trying to sign him but LFC were not one of them !

 

 

 

24 May 2011 16:41:15
Hi,

Ed, do you think Aguero is possible with his wages and the transfer fees?

I would say a STRONG "No".

How is he different to Suarez as a player?......Plus does he have the necessary mental toughness to become a great player??

I feel he is very similar to Pato ??? Lots of show and glamour but NO great "End Product".

{Ed002's Note - Aguero is a very good player and I am sure would do fine in teh EPL. My views on him arriving are well known. 1/10.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 16:31:55
So ed, ya say we could that we could swoop for Augusto.
Have we officially declared interest in him? Would he be keen on the move? How much would he likely cost?
And would ya be personally happy with him?
Thanx!
Unsigned {Ed002's Note - Liverpool have been flirting with the player since the January 2009 window. He is certainly very good and can play as a winger or attacking midfield player. He will be the standard £12M-£15M starting price I guess so maybe £10M-£12M.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 16:31:09
I can assure the information is accurate and that he will be a Liverpool player by the end of the week. I work on the outskirts of Barcelona and the news is gathering pace here. There is no particular source, but the information our company has received is accurate.

I hope the editors can confirm my location to allay some fears of another mis-placed rumour.

Best regards,
LJ4 {Ed001's Note - his IP does put him in Catalonia.}

Thank God that there is actually somenone who isnt telling bull and if he or she is in catalonia then why would he or she lie about it huh so there is probabl;y a better chance of signing Kun now and better yet that he is liverpool fan so all this cr@p about champions league football would not matter to him as he would come to the club he would die for. So as far as I care i would expect to see Kun next season

This better be true now that he got my hopes up. Ed do you think this guy is legit or just some guy on holiday in Spain.

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea about whether or not this guy is on holiday in Spain or not. My opinion on whether or not it is true is irrelevant of course.}

Aguero, Mata, Friedel, Scott Dann. They are the players who will be signing for LFC no-one else.

Right all, let me clear up the Friedel situation..

He has two offers, one from us and one from Spurs..

I think he is going to Spurs because of them guaranteeing first team football..

He won't be signing today, reps are possibly at the club and could be negotiating. I highly doubt that either, as I stated before, we are considering other players aswell as Adam.

Any chance of Nasri eds? Its a bit of wishful thinking on my part, but he has looked pretty sensational whenever I've seen him play, and can be played in multiple positions up front. Also, considering he's not too keen on staying at Arsenal, I think it would a pretty shrewd move. {Ed002's Note - I think it is pretty unlikely I am afraid. Perhaps a 1/10.}

hey ed02, why are juve favs to sign aguero? what have they got to offer thats so enticing? they don't look like there going to be winning anything big in the near future with an average looking squad. cheers ozred

{Ed002's Note - Juventus are rebuilding, not unlike Liverpool. Manchester United and Chelsea flunked getting a package together that was acceptable to the player but my understanding is that Juventus were reluctant to pay the asking price for the player. Real Madrid, Juventus, Manchester City and Chelsea are interested but I have a sneaking feeling he could still end up at Old Trafford. It is all about money. Chelsea certainly remain interested as well. A tough one to call.}

Aaron Lennon to Liverpool - fall out with Harry & not in England Squads recently. Unfortunately this means Young is on his way to Man U, that's why we may go for Downing instead.

It makes sense that Balague is most likely referring to David De Gea moving to Man U. It s too early for any new developments regarding Kun. However I am told Iniesta will move to Man City for £50M this summer, leaving the door open for Cesc to move to Barca.

Also heard the reason we signed brad friedel was that liverpool will be releasing jones ( He has been very very sick and wont be able to play anytime soon, so liverpool are goin to offer him release and give him a sum of money which helps him and hes family out )... alot people saying its a terrible signing but it hugely inproves our bench . i honestly don't mind :)

It is actually his son Luca that has been diagnosed with cancer, there was a charity event shown on LFC TV. He explains why his football hasnt been up to a decent standard because of this. Cant say I am surprised given this, he seems like a really decent bloke and well liked by all his fellow pros, not just at Liverpool. Good Luck Brad wherever you go!

24 May 2011 11:57:35
I've been told by a good friend and a good source from inside Melwood that the club are doing everything they can regarding Sergio Aguero, his wages and transfer fee aren't the problem (we can afford him) it's the huge competition from across Europe.. both Milan teams, juventus, barcelona, real madrid, chelsea, man united, spurs, man city... and many more who all want in. However, i expect some of the teams listed above will not afford his fees (spurs, ac milan, juventus and possibly man united) due to rising debts and little cash available. I see real madrid as a no-go due to the local clashes and Barcelona don't really need him imo. That leaves Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Inter.
If Tevez does leave city it looks like he will go to Inter, therefore they will drop out of the hunt but City will then do all they can to get Aguero. I think Liverpool have a chance of signing him however it depends ALOT on the Tevez saga and whether Aguero wants money and Champions League, or to be part of the Anfield revival with the KING.
Who knows.

-----------------------------
Well considering he already lives in madrid, I can't see his daughter going to pre school in madrid evidence of him moving anywhere {Ed001's Note - isn't that his point? It seems to have gone over your head a little that he is saying that it is most likely to be a move to Real Madrid.}

Liverpool, have an interest in young potential, are looking at Lukman Haruna. The 20 year old Nigerian international plays for AS Monaco. Comolli's link with AS Monaco is being exploited for a cheaper fee. Comolli is thought to rate the youngster highly, seeing him in a similar mould to Essien.

Sources inside the club tell me Friedel will sign a 2 year deal in the coming days (he has verbally agreed to sign at this stage as stated in the press.) Kenny sees him as a good mentor to the younger keepers and can be a good keeper to use in the Carling Cup etc.

In regards to other signings not much has been going on. We have spoken to Villa in regards to Young, he has several offers 3 from EPL clubs (includes us) and one offer overseas (location unknown). Adam is being looked at and evaluated among other options in the midfield before a bid is made, these include Blaise Matuidi and Yoann Gourcuff.

Hulk is being looked at but is not priority. Aguero is simply a no go.

Benzema, possible. We will try if he looks to leave, but we will have alot of competition from clubs across Europe.

Also, as I've stated before, Adam Johnson is still being actively pursued. Expect this one to drag due to many key factors, my source seems to believe he'd wait to see who we bring in before he decides leaving City and CL football behind for Liverpool. I wouldn't hold your breath.

Hi Eds - can you please post this, as it is 100% accurate.

I am a UK journalist working in Spain and I can confirm that Sergio Kun Aguero will indeed be signing for LFC over the next few days.

That's all I have.

I live in Madrid and my daughter and Sergio aqueros are the same age(we live in the same place) and as far as i know his kid will attend the first year of pre school in september here in Madrid, id bet my house he(SERGIO) goes to Madrid next season.I expect Mata to sign.

Why would Ath Madrid sell Aguero for 25 mill? Why would villa swap downing for Cole? Go post sh**e on the mancs page lad. Unless your the manc... {Ed002's Note - I think you will find it is more like wishful thinking from a Liverpool fan.}

The 25 mill bit was bad enough, but this clown can't even spell ACCEPTED, that's why I thought he was a man utd fan lol

ssn just stated that liverpool interested in downing and have made contact with west ham concerning parker . for me downing be a great signing and not a big time charlie but not so keen on parker don't see him as an improvement to squad yeah he stood out for the hammers but they were poor . what do think ed {Ed002's Note - I think Downing would be a great buy. Parker just does not seem to fit the bill for me. It is tough to see where he would be used and at 30 or so he is not one for the future.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 10:26:48
Real Madrid will be looking to sign Kun as Mou sees him as the only striker he wants, Talks of Llorente have cooled. If/ When Kun signs for Real Madrid, Benz will be shipped out. Real want 40mill for Benz. LFC, Man U, Arsenal and City have shown interest. Real are also trying to make a player swap deal with Ac Millan involving Kaka and Thiago Silva.

In my opinion these are some of the players we need..

Wings

Ashley young and juan mata(can both play upfront)

Defensive

CB Scott dann or Gary Cahill

LB Leighton baines or fabio contrao

I think these postions should be our prioritie.

The situation!

Hi ed, i just wondered if you had heard anything about the possible signing of Welliton? As I have just heard from a very reliable source that Liverpool have shown an interest in him.

RedChef {Ed002's Note - This was asked recently and all I know of any certainty is regardless of interest from Wolfsburg and Hamburg, I expect Welliton will move to Rubin Kazan.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 10:17:50
just read on marca that gil marin has stated that aguero will NOT be sold to real even though they've offered the buyout clause of 45m euro, i still don't think we'll get him but what a signing it would be, also sergio canales another player we've been linked with looks like he's off to villareal although according to the press this morning arsenal and city are after him, more lazy made up journalism from the red tops.

Liverpool to announce the signings of Friedel, Adam and Downing in the next week.

Young wants to move to Man U, for CL football and higher wages.

Liverpool are in talks with Valencia over Mata, and Newcastle over Enrique.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 10:12:47
@{Ed002's Note - They also posted it a week ago. I really don't think it is true.}
They also said Young had signed, they said they had a document showing this and if you got two friends to join the page they would show you it, then they refused. They said there would be a big announcement at 4 yesterday and guess what 4 came and all we had was silence... I was banned for disputing their claims.

Same here ed, i was banned for saying they make up stuff, they even have fake profiles of people that write on there wall saying great site, keep up the good work etc

Also heard the reason we signed brad friedel was that liverpool will be releasing jones ( He has been very very sick and wont be able to play anytime soon, so liverpool are goin to offer him release and give him a sum of money which helps him and hes family out )... alot people saying its a terrible signing but it hugely inproves our bench . i honestly don't mind :)

{Ed002's Note - It seems they had much to say over Mata as well. I would recommend just ignoring them.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 10:08:52
Just a observation on my part. If Liverpool wanted to make a clear statement of intent in the transfer market surely it would be prudent to make your biggest signing the first one and the earlier the better. All this talk of Aguero might yet have something in it as it would help the acquisition of other top players. Only time will tell, however if the said player is on the move I for one expect it sooner rather than later. {Ed002's Note - A "statement of intent"?}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 10:02:26
Morning all
Just been told by a good friend of mine who is a spurs fan is that scott parker has a choice of lfc or afc
spurs were desperate to sign him but west ham refuse to do any deals with spurs due to the on going stadium issue been told the price is between 8 - 10 mil
i would love a scott parker if he was just a tad younger what are your thoughts edds

 

 

 

24 May 2011 10:01:59
I have a feeling we may not get our 1st targets this summer....It's defo apparent that youngs teamates think he will go to man u, so he must have said that to someone and the back of the rags today suggest fergie is ready to make a strong move as soon as window opens....With regards to ashley young ED where do you think he will end up?

Dave {Ed002's Note - As I have said on numerous occasions, don't expect Young to be nailed on and expect Manchester United to get involved. I have no idea where he will actually go, it is a toss of a coin. I expect Nani to move on which does leave a vacancy.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 09:41:47
Ed do you have any info on the friedle rumours? {Ed002's Note - There seems to be substance to the potential move of Brad Friedel on a two year deal. I still haven't figured out why though.}

the fields of anfield road facebook group have posted that we have had a bid accepted for aguero!

any news on this ed? {Ed002's Note - What was the date on the posting?}


'Before i go for my sleep, let me assure you that we have bid accepted for Aguero'

that was posted just 20 minutes ago. i'm not one to believe everything i read! But apparently the group is run by liverpool season ticket holders with good connections and apparently their usually on the money. thoughts?

{Ed002's Note - They also posted it a week ago. I really don't think it is true.}

Just read a story on The Metro's website about Hulk, Rolando and Falcao of Porto. On it, it claimed that Hulk could be available for as little as £9million and that he was likely to be the cheaper of the three.

What basis could they have for such a low valuation?

Ed? {Ed002's Note - Hulk is probably staying at Porto after signing a new contract with a nifty €100M escape clause. I guess the Metro item may be old news recycled. I don't know, but it is nonsense.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 09:14:25
Do you really think young will go to man utd?
If he wants a regular game he won't, he will be competing aginst nani, park, valencia so I couldn't see him getting a regular game.
So I really think he will sign for us! As its almost guarenteed he will start every game!
Cheers, Nelly. {Ed002's Note - I would not be so sure that Nani will still be at Old Trafford next season.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 09:05:06
Aguero will not be signing for LFC. We can not compete with man city/ chelsea/ barcelona/ Milan teams!!!

1 no european football
2 wages can't be matched compared to these
3 he wouldnt be happy to be rotated.

Its silly talk Liverpool do have money now but there not going to go spend £40 million on one player. yes we spent £35 million on carroll but that wasnt our money it came straight from Chelski. Carroll was going to be singed in the summer for around 20-25 million but we needed him then to show intent and it was proved.

If Aguero signs for Liverpool i will gladly admit im wrong but we just don't have tose sorts of finances!!!

 

 

 

24 May 2011 08:55:51
No where in any of the Aguero literature does he say his destination will be the premier league let alone Liverpool. Not being a pesamist being a realist, if he does go to a prem club it will be one of the money bags in the CL.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 08:50:55
£8million bid for Scott Parker has been accepted from Liverpool and one another team, trust me

24 May 2011 08:49:56
Dont hold your breathe over kun. Too expensive, No CL to offer we would be priced out regardless. He will stay in Spain. Friedel, Rumours on various sites state two yr deal on the cards at LFC. C. Adam, LFC And Utd are interested in him, But he will go to Utd . Apparently Jan Window showed disrespect towards Blackpool. A Young is also Utd bound CL football being the carrot.

Hey Ed / Eds,
Do you think young Dale Jennings (Tranmere) might be on Kenny's radar or been watched at all?
I think they'd miss a real potential star by ignoring him. I hear Bayern Munich are after him.
What do you think?

JFT96 {Ed002's Note - I know of teh reported interest by Bayern Munich but nothing confirmed. Aside from that I have heard zip about the player.}

So based on the BBC's info on Aguero.......if Joe Cole leaves as we all expect him to that would free up the No.10 jersey...........mmmmm maybe just a long shot but stranger things have happened......makes all the news we heard about Sergio being in Liverpool( at Maxi's gaff over the xmas)a bit more interesting...was that all he was there for.......we shall see soon I suppose

 

 

 

24 May 2011 08:36:48
Just seen this on BBC's football section:

Atletico Madrid forward Sergio Aguero has asked the Spanish club to release him from his contract.

The 22-year-old Argentine international extended his deal to 2014 in January but his buy-out clause was reduced from £52m to £40m.

"After five intense years a stage in my personal development has ended and I have to move on to a new one, " said Aguero on his website.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham have been linked to Aguero.

"I said long ago that when I wanted to go, I would say so publicly, " added the Atletico striker. "And the time has come.

"So I keep to my word and here I am. I find it hard to leave Atletico. It hurts and saddens me."

Aguero has scored over 100 goals for Atletico since joining from Independiente as a teenager in 2006.

Heard that kenny wants to bring estabilshed players that have played in england for a while rather than spending over the odds for foreign players.

As Man U have gone after young kenny has now turned his attention to Taarbat a fee has been argeed of 11.5 million not sure if joe cole is in the deal i doubt it tho. They have also started talking to blackpool however they are being as stubborn as last time as but a fee in the region of 4.5 million is being talked about. Scott dann will be the other signing not sure how much for though and this is still early stages.

Team:
Reina

Kelly Carragher Dann Johnson/ Enqriue


Gerrard Lucas Spearing/ meriles

Suarez Carrol Taarbat

24 May 2011 07:50:29
why would we waste a salary on a 40 year old villa reject and whats with the average players Nzogbia will always look good in a rubbish team like Wigan Adam is way overrated what happened to all the big names Enrique is also way overrated SORT IT OUT COMMOLI

 

 

 

24 May 2011 07:19:19
Hi Eds,

Please can you post this:

Guys I believe we have to be realistic and understand that players which have been linked with the club will also be linked else where and for that reason we don't stand much chance against the richer and more favorable teams

Friedel will come back and will be our number one.
Pepe has never come out and said that he is staying. He has only spoke about next season as one that looks exciting. He has to say certain things otherwise It would look to obvious that he won't be here. Also expect a bid from Man city for Steven Gerrard.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 07:13:15
any chance of nani ed?
{Ed002's Note - I doubt it.}

 

 

 

24 May 2011 05:01:42
Friedel - Free / Jones
Enrique - £11m / Konchesky, Insua, Degen
Dann - £6m / Kyrgiakos
Adam - £7m / Poulson, Aquilani
Marveaux - Free / Jovanovic
Young - £17m / Cole, El Zhar
Benzema - £20m / N'Gog

Just read on ESPN's soccernet.com that Aguero has now asked to leave Atletico Madrid. Apparently (or supposedly) there is a clause in his contract that says he cannot join Real Madrid, even if they meet his buyout clause. Ed, with that being said, do you think it's a possibility that we are going to look into this? He almost signed a few years ago. {Ed002's Note - I think it very unlikely.}

Brad Friedel will re-join Liverpool after rejecting offers from West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa to remain in the Midlands. The veteran keeper has agreed a two-year deal with Kenny Dalglish.

(this is something i got from facebook) why would friedel want to play back up???

-------------/ -------------------

Patrick Barkley announced Torres leaving before we had even signed Suarez. He got alot of abuse for it as you can imagine. Alot of Guillem Balagues info on Torres was incorrect, especially regarding his contract, as he was using Benitez as his source who wasn't aware of the knew clauses put in. The echo journalists and other British based press reported buy out clauses in contracts tha Balagues incorrectly said were not there. So although he's correct on allot of Spanish based info and has good contacts, just like anyone he is not always right.

 

 

 

24 May 2011 01:09:25
I can confirm Charlie Adam has been signed by Liverpool and Ashley Young's representives are now negotiating with the club.

For those of you who think Liverpool are going to be signing foreign talent think again, KK is wanting to restore the culture of the club back to what it was in 70-80s, and can only achieve this is by recruiting british talent.
