Seen this morning the papers have jumped on the possibility of Marco Reus joining in the summer. I must be sceptical but I feel as this is just rumours created from the fact Reus celebrated in the week like Mane and Firmino. Eds I'd love you to tell me I'm wrong, any interest?

{Ed001's Note - I can't tell you anything about what the papers have said as I don't read them, but I trust you are correct that they have said it.}

reus has become the new gotze! very talented player but like gotze he has suffered from a lot of injuries.

Not sure Reus would be a priority to LFC.

Goalkeeper 1st
CM 2nd
CD 3rd

Anything else comes after them positions.

Whether the rumours are true about reus it got me thinking that 4 years ago we would have taken reus in a shot. Now he wouldn't get in the side, that shows progress.

There are a number of factors as to why I don't think we would make a move for him:

1) His injury issues are awful, he has struggled badly for fitness and it has affected him as a player.

2) The position he plays in is absolutely not a priority.

3) His price is still likely to be prohibitive despite his injury woes and we could simply find better ways of spending that money.

4) Klopp said he would not go back and raid his former club - so far he has not broken that 'promise', it seems unlikely he will do so in future.

It's likely a recycled story rather than anything new, the newspapers have got to print something so on quiet days the old links come out again. I'd be genuinely shocked if we did sign him and, to be honest, I hope we don't - a massively injury prone attacker whose transfer fee, wages, etc would be astronomical and who is a shadow of the player he was years ago.

TheKloppEnd, I knew a bloke once that danced like my ex missus! Does this mean Im going to end up sleeping with him?

All this silly talk about signing Reus really does get my Götze.

A question for Ed001 if I may,

Reading the posts, I've seen you saying that Napoli are not willing to let Jorginho leave. However, do you know if the player is pushing for a move away from Naples or would he happy to stay if Napoli are not willing to sell?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - as far as I know he is not looking to move just now. Napoli have stepped up and are top of Serie A, there really is no reason for him to push for a move.}

Cheers Ed, appreciate the reply. Looks like it's going to be an uphill battle to sign the player then, given that he's not looking for a move and also the number of interested parties involved.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he would need convincing to make a move. Nothing is entirely out of the question of course, but it is far from a likely deal, let alone a done one, as things stand.}

Jorginho is 26 y/ o, turns 27 this year. He just doesn't seem like a player Liverpool is going to go for. Plus the player has no reason to want to leave, as Ed said, and Napoli doesn't want him to leave. This could just be paper talk generated by LFC PR to push another player to sign, to distract from another signing or whatever.

Are you suggesting a smokescreen VDV!?
anyways, great if true and gets over the line. Meh, if not.

Agree7 Disagree0

02 Mar 2018 06:18:33
I think so, Faith. I would think Paul Joyce, who started the Jorginho talk, got his info from Liverpool. Personally, I doubt that we are really interested or that the player is. So it could be a smokescreen for something else.

Hi eds I read this morning that there is interest in lemina of Southampton haven't really seen much of him too judge as a player, but what happened too romeu of Southampton he was playing really well last year an looked quality obviously it's another Southampton player so would b hard work for us but he looked a great defensive midfielder has his performances dipped, if Southampton get relegated he will surely leave along with others, cheers.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - no one at Saints is playing well at the moment.}

VDV
There are things you are not aware like Napoli are looking to add Torriera from Sampdoria who will cost them big money. And that to happen they will need to sacrifice a player who plays in that position. it’s one of Diawara / Jorginho. His agent is aware of this situation and has not signed a new contract. I expect him to move if not they will have to sell someone else which is also a possibility ( Zielinski / diawara )
We ll have a new look Midfield for the upcoming season.

It's Man Utd that are keen on Jorginho according to ed002. He said in January they were talking to Napoli. Obviously, things change but I don't see a real interest. Still, expect us to go back in for Lemar personally.

Baby Driver, I'm sure you're right. I have absolutely no transfer knowledge. I'm just speculating based on my experience of LFC transfers and PR.

Agree1 Disagree0

Baby Driver i may be wrong but i think Torreira has a release clause active in the summer only of 25m Euros.

Agree1 Disagree1

02 Mar 2018 12:08:13
I’d get both Torreira and Jorginho! Do it!
