Hi eds, tony Barrett has said gotze has his heart set on Liverpool and we want to sign him. He's supposed to be very reliable when talking about Liverpool. Why wouldn't be sign him if everything checks out.

if you scroll down the page you will see a valid reply from ed 1 about Gotze.

Agree4 Disagree18

02 Apr 2016 14:43:19
I remember a while ago some of the Eds said that the club has tightened up considerably in terms of disclosing information, not much gets out now, it would be coming from Goetzes end. As such without that link to the club anymore the likes of Pearce and Barrett aren't necessarily right. Though I'm not sure.

Actually we already have our very own goetze in Texeira.

Agree0 Disagree22

{Ed002's Note - History - he has played about a game a season for Liverpool and is moving in the summer. Even Goetze can manage more than that.}

02 Apr 2016 19:49:16
Leek, deluded mate.

Gotze is a world class player and he's on 22.

Agree1 Disagree15

{Ed002's Note - Bayern Munich don't agree.}

02 Apr 2016 21:17:46
He was world class at Dortmund but there was at least two players better than him when he was there in reus and lewondowski. At Bayern he had 1 good season and hasn't really cut the mustard. Some good performances but injury prone and inconsistent has kept him on the bench. If you have seen him play you would see why, Bayern just have superior players to him. I get why people want him, he's been quality in the past and he's a marquee name. I would say he's a good purchase depending on the price. He is no more than £25m player. And with the likes of coutinho firmino and lallana surely that means someone on the way out. It's just a signing that's a luxury signing rather than one that makes sense, for me.

Tony Barrett has never been right about anything LFC - it's always a copy of what other journalists have said.

Agree3 Disagree22

02 Apr 2016 23:13:09
Sounds like Jurgen is not ruling it out. I would rather Gotze over over Lallana, mostly because the manager may get more out of Gotze but I guess that would remain to be seen.

Of all the silly rumours pertaining to Klopp and his ex players we should be hoping Lewandowski materialises. I know we need players in other positions more, but it's fun this pre transfer window speculation, isn't it?!

And the ironic thing is we finally have one of these players we have lusted after for seasons genuinely talking up a move and we're like "nah. "

Anyhoo. I'm more concerned that we might not finish in the top half at the moment. We need to get some "W"s down.

Agree6 Disagree12

03 Apr 2016 01:11:35
Robbo, between lewandowski and reus, i like reus more.

Agree3 Disagree16

03 Apr 2016 01:12:29
Never mind a keeper sakho is a liability at the back he makes everyone nervous as hell.

Agree8 Disagree20

03 Apr 2016 03:48:33
It's a good thing that Bayern don't think he's world class.

Agree3 Disagree11

03 Apr 2016 10:31:40
Banter, Sakho had a bad game yesterday and when he has a nad game he has a stinker but that's getting rarer by the month. His consistency is improving considerably and I think he and Lovren have been superb over the last 6-8 weeks. I point to games against United in the League and Europa.
When he is on form Sakho dominates aerial battles and is quick reading the game. he's like a wild dog version of Agger.

Agree9 Disagree9

03 Apr 2016 11:26:40
Banter, Plus we've got Matip coming in already! Or has he already been forgotten about and decided as not good enough?

Agree4 Disagree9

03 Apr 2016 09:15:54
Reus would be good, but we have Firmino who is maybe not like for like but would play in a similar position. I know Reus plays as a striker but he is yet again an attacking mid, when we are short on fit strikers. If we knew Sturridge were going to be fit for 9 of every 10 games next season then we'd be set but there is that question mark now. Maybe it's not the most important position to fill but in the context of Klopp's ex proteges coming to club, we should hope for Lewandowski.

Look it's not a serious proposition, just a tongue in cheek observation.

I feel it's going to take a long time to untangle the mess we're in having signed the players we have done. I would guess that after another 2 seasons and 4 transfer windows we will have a quite different team.

Agree1 Disagree8

03 Apr 2016 12:07:51
Sakho looked a bit tired from international duty yesterday but was superb last 20 mins, he is a top defender.

Agree6 Disagree9

03 Apr 2016 12:51:17
With Sakho being a defender. His errors are more prone to scrutiny than say, Sturridge or Can. Both didn't have games to there own standard. Sturridge one on one with the keeper and misses. If that was Benteke this page would be going mad! A few times Can have the ball away yesterday and got out muscled by Dembele but I haven't seen a mention of that on here. There mistakes are not as goal threatening as Sakho's. If he makes a mistake its leading to a attempt on goal and is scrutinised more.
As good as Coutinho was yesterday and the player he is. Should he be missing the target from 16 yards out?

Agree8 Disagree7

Question for Ed001

Im sorry mate its on Gotze.

In YOUR honest opinion do you think we will push to get him in the Summer?

And do you think we need him?

Believable0 Unbelievable18

{Ed001's Note - no and no.}

02 Apr 2016 12:32:49
Really hope we pass this one by. We do not need Gotze, and certainly not for 20 million plus. There are more important positions that need to be improved on before we go for luxury signings. BTW Ed001, any truth to the Yarmolenko rumors? He is a winger and a very good one at that so would definitely be a quality addition imo.

Agree3 Disagree16

{Ed001's Note - none that I am aware of, I expect him to be linked with all and sundry as usual.}

02 Apr 2016 12:43:22
Owe i see . Wish i hadnt of asked now mate lol. Can i ask why on both?

Agree0 Disagree13

{Ed001's Note - because signing him would come with suspicions of tapping him up, which, thanks to Gerrard, the club is already under the microscope over. Secondly because we don't. We have an injury prone striker, we don't need one in midfield.}

02 Apr 2016 14:55:05
Ok mate. So you don't think we will push to sign him because we will open ourselves up for tapping the player up? Surely won't stop Klopp if he wants him and we have not tapped him up to date.

Agree0 Disagree11

{Ed001's Note - the fact that they talk constantly through texts would mean that the club might make the decision for him, that it is not worth the risk, even if he wanted him. I would hope he would have more sense than to do a Rodgers and buy yet another attacking midfielder we don't need, just because he can. He made the mistake in January of bringing in a player we didn't need, I would hope he learnt from that.}

02 Apr 2016 15:52:13
Surely this sort of thing is reaching a bit Ed. Old managers text players all the time don't they?

Agree1 Disagree12

{Ed001's Note - but, thanks to Gerrard making tapping up claims in his book, our club is in danger.}

02 Apr 2016 15:55:40
I could see Benteke sold and push firminho up top. Than gotze could be a option. Can this club sign someone who's as good as gotze.

Agree1 Disagree14

{Ed001's Note - we have Firmino and Coutinho who are as good.}

02 Apr 2016 16:35:03
I have heard from a good source that Gotze is likely to happen.

Agree7 Disagree15

02 Apr 2016 16:35:45
Ya they are I also rate lallana but with style kloop trying to play u need a options . To give players a rest whan they need it.

Agree2 Disagree14

02 Apr 2016 21:23:21
Firmino and coutinho are actually better in my opinion. Both can have their off days but in terms of natural ability and stats they are better. As for lallana, really like lallana although he has been more disappointing than impressive since he's come here, he's probably a better dribbler and harder worker than goetze, but goetze is just more productive than him, which is the most important thing in football. Don't think we need goetze though, would have preferred texiera if we wanted to get an attacking midfielder.

Agree2 Disagree13

03 Apr 2016 09:38:34
All clubs tap players up I know this first hand, yes SG was stupid in saying this in his book but ed all clubs are looked at it doesn't make it worse for lfc because SG mentions it.

Agree0 Disagree9

{Ed001's Note - yes it does, he was an idiot to give them a chance to prove something they could not otherwise have any chance of proving.}

03 Apr 2016 10:25:45
Surely him coming in would mean the end of Lallana or say Barcelona going for the likes of coutinho

Can't let comments Gerrard said us going for a target can you?

Agree0 Disagree9

{Ed001's Note - depends on the target doesn't it..}

02 Apr 2016 09:41:41
Todays rumour doing the rounds is: Liverpool are lining up a £25m bid for Dynamo Kiev's Andriy Yarmolenko.

Believable12 Unbelievable24

02 Apr 2016 09:48:03
Yeah seen that. It's began which was expected (especially now with rumours of middle east investment) . got to admit I'd be very happy with Gotze, Yarmalenko and Ter Stegen.

Agree6 Disagree19

02 Apr 2016 10:59:48
I'd sooner we kept the money and spent half of it on a player who would be better value.

Agree5 Disagree18

02 Apr 2016 11:23:57
Yarmelenko ripped Azpilacueta a new one In the Champions league. 25 million these days seems fair, Considering we got 50 for Sterling.

Agree9 Disagree16

02 Apr 2016 14:41:26
Hate to contradict you Yipster, he didn't tear anyone a new anything. He looked one paced, gave the ball away lots and just doesn't look a top class player. Would be gutted if we wasted that kind of money on him.

Agree3 Disagree14

02 Apr 2016 15:37:50
You must have watched a different game to me then Mr dennis.

Agree3 Disagree12

02 Apr 2016 23:56:31
Watched the game and he didn't look much more than a 6/ 10 player at best and the funniest thing is that there's a highlight real on YouTube which makes his performance look even worse! If that were possible.

Agree2 Disagree7

03 Apr 2016 15:13:26
We need to stop dealing with the Ukrainian teams. All oligarchs who don't seem to like making a deal with American FSG. No thanks.

Agree3 Disagree2

03 Apr 2016 15:45:52
Unfortunately agree with fear, never seems to work out with Ukrainian teams which is a shame because the players we have tried to get from them (konoplyanka, mikhitaryan, and texeria) for me would have been great signings. but never happen!

Agree2 Disagree2

03 Apr 2016 17:26:07
I wouldn't waste any time sending scouts out there frankly. Never mind the fact that Yarmelenko simply isn't that good.

Agree1 Disagree2
