Ed Any truth to the Liverpool interest in Honda and Alex Pearce? I understand at one point we were interested in him, It says he is available on a free which I find hard to believe, do you know anything about his contract?

I imagine the bulk of the summer budget and player sales will be on replacing Carra, Coates and Skrtel if they leave instead of more attacking players like Honda. {Ed002's Note - Try the search engine.}

as it looks ever more likely that Mr Suarez will be leaving in the summer is there any prime targets that we would be going for ED?
I hate to be negative but I can't see the 3rd best player in the world not playing in the champions league and with Pep Guardiola calling. {Ed001's Note - perhaps he might like to stay another year and see if we can challenge for Champions League next season? Bayern might well call, but his price will be going up by the week, I am not convinced they will match our asking price, not when Cavani, Falcao and Benzema are likely to be available.}


Just to clear things does this €40 million clause just allows him to speak to other clubs? If so does does that mean we don't have to sell him at that price?

GuvTOB {Ed001's Note - as far as we know, yes, that is correct. Impossible to be sure, but it is very common to have that kind of clause in a contract, while the selling price clause is very unusual in the UK.}


How does it look ever more likely that he will move? Because he's scoring goals? Or because dribblers on here keep banging on about it 24/7.

Get a grip people. Sick of reading the same sh*te


Thats insane surely that's not true about the clause when he just signed a new contract and we bought him for 23mish wheres that logic {Ed002's Note - My understanding that it is correct.}


It is a bizarre situation regarding a release clause if it's true. However, irrespective of release clauses or not, in this day and age if a player wants to leave there is not much a club can do about it.
All we can do is support him to the hilt and make him realise that this great club is where his fortunes lie. If he went it would be a massive loss.

What's the point of a contract then


I wouldn't include Benzema any where near that list of calibre.

Eds. - if Reina leaves, any interest in Ben Foster or Paul Robinson? {Ed001's Note - none that I know of in Foster and no one has shown interest in Robinson, which is why he is still where he is.}


Seriously!? PAUL ROBINSON. Horrendous option.

FowlerGod.


Foster would be good. If we're after a cheapie, we should look at Rob Green, he must be desperate to escape QPR. {Ed001's Note - he is also useless. Green I mean.}


No chance of Robinson, worst keeper
Ive seen always beaten at long range not worthy of our shirt.


I can see Joe Hart getting fed up with the blame at city and depending on who takes over from Mancini in the summer, either us or Arsenal going for him. That's based on there being a bit of a merry-go-round of top keepers this summer.


Mignolet from Sunderland is my choice although I would like to know pols views on the Newcastle/Celtic keeper (can't remember his name)
Daniellambretta


I love how this post has 0 agrees. Must be the first time ever


Forster

Any interest in the keeper Rafael from Santos? he's only 22 and looks very impressive. Just wondering.


Don't want to be buying a goalkeeper directly from the South American leagues {Ed002's Note - There was interest in a cash plus player deal (Doni) last year.}

Why is skrtel not in the bench for the Wigan game? Further signs of a falling out and him leaving?

Cheers

Kyle


Injured mate he hasn't recovered so he was dropped.

AndyKopLiverpool


He's injured


He's injured. Hope he leaves anyway


Too bad we didn't sell him to City in the summer for all the cash they were offering.


I thought City wanted Agger and not Skrtel?


Injured

Eds during the olympics there was a lad playing for senegal moussa konate? Or similar he was 19 and the top scorer in the tournement from midfeild he was a very well built young lad. just wondering where he's at and who's intested? Cheers {Ed002's Note - He moved to Krasnodar in the summer.}

Just wondering eds, you say Honda would not be available on a free, but the METRO are reporting that he is? Why is there a difference in opinion between them and you? CSKA have been quoted by METRO as basically saying they can't force him to stay?

Cheers {Ed002's Note - So who are you going to believe, me or The Metro?}


He signed a 4 year contract with CSKA in December 2009. His contract runs out December 2013, not this summer.


The Metro.


Too bad the Metro doesn't bother to use Google, eh? As someone else said, he'll be on a free in the winter, not summer. 2 seconds to find out for yourself.


The metro more reliable then eds! {Ed001's Note - why don't you go and read that instead then? After all, they are so reliable they don't even know the rules regarding contracts, that they can't end mid-season.}


The Metro.
Greek12 {Ed002's Note - So a freeby in the summer then.}


He's going to be a freeby come Xmas what's the biggie?

John


Thanks for the info Ed002.

Don't bother if these muppets don't believe u!


The metro ha ha, use your head mate!

Wilfred bony, stefan vrij, keisuke Honda and Alex Pearce will all be signing for Liverpool. Anymore arrivals will depend on player sales.

Reports coming out of Russia that Liverpool are trying to thrash out a deal for Honda. Would any other teams be interested Ed's? {Ed002's Note - Lazio and Valencia, although Valencia might be priced out of a summer move.}


Ed does that imply we are interested again? {Ed002's Note - I really don't know of interest at this time - is this from Twitter?}


No I saw it from various websites.


Were we actually close to signing him last christmas? Or was that merely rumours? SInce if he turned us down once, I doubt we would go back in for him {Ed002's Note - January 2011 it was.}

Liverpool are eyeing a move for long term target keisuke Honda who will be available on a free. Rodgers is keen to sign him on a pre contract. {Ed002's Note - Honda cannot sign a pre-contract at this time. He will not be free in the summer.


Honda's contract ends at midnight on 31 December 2013, after the end of the Russian season. The Ed is correct. He cannot sign a pre-contract at this time.


Hello Ed,
from what I can gather, he has a contract until dec 2013 so he should be pretty cheap come summer. Reckon he could be an option or is he most likely to end up at Lazio? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool were very interested at one time but may have blown their chance of Honda in January 2011 when he was available for about £8M. During the mid-season in Russia, Wolfsburg and Juventus were interested in Honda but the player said he wanted to move to Spain and the 25M euro asking price put them off. This summer we saw enquiries for the player have been from Lazio, PSG, Sevilla and Palermo. It seems to be the longest running of the Liverpool (and Arsenal) related "rumours". Honda was close to leaving last summer with a move to Lazio only failing at the last minute and I understand that Lazio would still be interested at the right price. He has had a bit of a strange season in that he has been scoring goals but his performances have been criticised - which seems to have put off Dortmund who have taken a recent look. Valencia have shown interest recently and would like to have him sign a pre-contract in the summer but I imagine the player will wish to see what options are available.}


The russian season is now summer to summer, but the contracts before hand still stand.

ed, s
you said there is a chance of reina leaving the club what is the chance of kevin trapp being his replacement are Liverpool intrested in him:)
would love to hear from you
sterlin red:) {Ed002's Note - I am not aware of interest in Trapp from Liverpool.}


I believe Maria Von Trappist available, rubbish in goal, but will cheer up the dressing room with her singing


Aside from Ochoa, w/c other keepers are Liverpool interested w/? {Ed002's Note - Al-Habsi was mentioned.}

With Hueng-min son stalling on a new contract does that mean that there is a possibility that he will be leaving his current club. If yes do Liverpool have any interest? {Ed002's Note - A number of clubs, including Liverpool, have been looking at Hamburg's Heung Min Son for the past year. Certainly Spurs, Sunderland, Lille and West Ham have had him watched on more than one occasion leading up to the end of last year and Spurs had a bid turned down in January. Since the New Year some interest has been shown by Dortmund, Manchester United, CSKA Moscow and Chelsea, who would look to a deal that sees a player as part of an offer. Hamburg would like to keep him and I expect him to move in the summer, but a move to Chelsea or Manchester United could see him sat on the bench and that may not be what he wants.}


03 Mar 2013 10:20:05
So could/would Liverpool place a bid? {Ed002's Note - At this time it looks unlikely.}


 

 

02 Mar 2013 06:31:49
We are heavily scouting Holland and Germany so additions should be expected from their in the summer. The rest will probably be from the Premiership and Championship.
What's Cabaye's situation eds? I've heard of interest.
{Ed002's Note - I would doubt a move for Cabaye in the summer and there has been no interest shown by Liverpool.}

Ed 2 of my posts about kondogbia weren't published I just tried the search feature and it yeilded zero results

Surely someone has asked about him before?

Why the secrecy on kondogbia? Lol {Ed002's Note - Kondogbia only moved in the summer and there is no interest from England in him at this time.}


Sounds like a cross between kone, drogba and nzogbia
