Erm, not sure how true this is.

Approach has been made to Chelsea to take Mata on loan. Rejected, but talk of a perm deal is taking place.

Eds, you heard news on this?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any talks about a permanent deal taking place. Someone mentioned the approach regarding a loan being made, and certainly there has been an informal approach about a loan from another club, but that is all I am aware of.}

Thanks 002. I understand you're a Chelsea fan. What is your view on Mata, surprised he is not a starter and If LFC did bid, who you see him interested without CL football? {Ed002's Note - Mata started on Saturday and was on the bench for the other two games - the first of which he was not really ready for. All clubs have a squad of players but only 11 can be on the field at the same time. If Mata said he wanted to leave (he hasn't) and Liverpool or any other team made an offer acceptable to Chelsea and an offer acceptable to the player, then the club would not stand in his way.}

Would there be any chance of a loan coming off if Liverpool pursued this one?

If not then he would be well worth the money to buy if Liverpool wanted him, is the interet real? {Ed001's Note - it isn't happening. }

Cheers 002. I'm very surprised after last season or so there is anything in the press linking Mata with a move. Should be first name down on the team sheet

Ed, how true are the rumours linking us with Ljajic of Fiorentina? {Ed002's Note - Ljajic is certainly available and certainly trying to engineer a move out of Fiorentina. An expected move to Milan for Ljajic failed to be completed initially as Fiorentina prefer not to do business with them. Torino have dropped their interest. A new contract with Fiorentina was rejected on August 23 and Atletico has immediately turned their attentions to Eriksen after being told that the player will move to Milan (his preferred destination but Fiorentina are not keen to sell to them) or Roma (his likely alternate destination). This will likely run until close to the end of the window.}

Ed,

Was wondering if you saw any potential for LFC to make an approach for Ben Arfa before the window closes? Newcastle are a selling club and with BR stating his desire to bring in a LW.

Also, are you surprised at all by the lack of interest in Feghouli, especially considering Valencia's financial situation?

zpd {Ed002's Note - The lady sat opposite me says if Ben Arfa were to move this summer it would only be to PSG. Whilst Valencia's Sofiane Feghouli was stalling on signing a new contract in January, his agents were scurrying around looking for interest in the player as leverage or as an alternative to Valencia should he be sold. A number of high-profile clubs were approached to see if they would be interested in the player but it would be nothing but speculation on my part to suggest serious interest of not. Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Liverpool and Southampton (and probably others) were invited to take a look at the player but he was to depart for the ACON. However, Paris Saint-Germain has made more than one approach for the player but were told that he is not available. Since then a new contract has been agreed with Valencia and if they were to sell in the summer because of financial difficulties then they would look for a couple of teams to be keen enough to push up the price - otherwise they will look to hold on to the player - even though he would be agreeable to leaving.}

Hi Eds

Is there any interest in Real Betis' Alvaro Vadillo as a LW?

A few prem clubs are following him.

thanks {Ed002's Note - Spurs, Swansea, Porto and Arsenal have shown an interest but Real Betis are not looking to sell this summer.}

A good player - potential to be a very good player.

My concern would be that he's not close enough to the finished article as of yet and we need someone who can make an instant impact.

I see on the lfc page Pacheco is still amongst the squad, is this because there hasn't been any interest in him?

Needs to leave and get played in my opinion. {Ed002's Note - There was some talk of Celta Vigo and Almeria showing an interest in Pacheco but I understand that Cordoba are of the opinion that Pacheco will be joining them this week. There was also interest shown by Recreativo but it came to nothing.}

I just want to throw Andre Ayew out there again as a target and get the views of many people including eds. How would everyone feel if this was the guy to take our left sided spot?
personally he ticks all the boxes and would be great signing with pace power creativity and an eye for goal whilst still at the relatively young age of 23.
I'm sure many on here will throw me to the lions, yet again for this post like my last, but I don't have anyone in the know, and just like to throw out possibilities and suggestions? Look forward to positive and/or constructive feedback? {Ed002's Note - Marseille were told yesterday that Newcastle will be making their expected bid.}

Better options out there for me in Turan, Muriel, Vela, Eriksen, Ince, Konoplyanka & Shaqiri.

Andre Ayew, he is a good player but just a good player nothing else. he misses a lot of chance especially 1 on 1s with the keeper, and the keeper wasnt good either

I'd guess most of us have never seen him in action and know little or nothing about him so won't say yea or nay over him.

I believe that Ayew would be a great signing. I've only seen him play in the CL and the French Ligue 1 a couple of times, but he looks a great addition with pace and power. With such a short time left on the transfer window we should pursue such a player in stead of targeting somewhat unrealistic players, such as Eriksen (he has seemingly declined to play for us previously this summer), Turan (he plays CL with Atletico and Costa wanted to stay there as well), Shaqiri (a loan deal might be possible, but unlikely). Let's make a move for Ayew now! {Ed002's Note - You need to register to use the site now.}

BigD. Eriksen isn't a Left Sided player, Konoplyanka for me is not proven enough (could be a flop), Muriel will not happen, Vela tbh I'm not even sure.
Turan is a good player, but Rodgers has his doubts about his pace&fitness.
Shaqiri, is almost too good, he's at Bayern Munich. However I do dream of him coming. For me he would be just like Cout & DS, because at Bayern he is not a starter, just like Cout & DS at previous clubs. But, Shaqiri would be better than both of them.
