According to City sources, Liverpool will make a counter offer on Man City's bid for Sterling. Liverpool want Jovetic plus 10 million for Sterling.Jovetic is one of Rodgers favorite players and he is convinced he is world class, but he has not been given the opportunity to show this at city, either because he was injured, or was out of favor.

Eds we have no intetest in Jovetic do we?

{Ed002's Note - No. Roma and, particularly, Inter Milan are interested in taking Jovetic back to Italy, perhaps initially on loan. His time in England has been plagued by injury and an inability to settle. Juventus have dropped their interest and moved on.}

Given Jovetic's injury history, I wouldn't think this will be plausible.

We already have 1 player who's injured often in Sturridge, so why bring in another striker, who is likely to get injured?

If we were to sell Balotelli and Lambert, I'd probably try and get Dzeko off of City if anyone. We could offer him game time, he scores goals and could add a hell of a lot more than what Mario and Ricky have.

Whether it is a viable option or not is anyones guess, perhaps the Eds could shed some light?

I want to sign Jovetic even less than I want Sterling to stay!

I'd rather give Borini a go than listen to a swap deal with Jovetic.

if that's anywere near the truth Rogers the Bodger should open a medical centre with all the sicknotes he's supposed to be buying. Just get rid of the idiot and get a manager who can see and buy real talent.
Our scouting system must have a link to all the footballing crocks around Europe.
lets sell our so called prized asset for no money and buy the sicknotes of football for top money to sit in medical room most of the season like Jovetic and that greek defender, sounds about right for LFC.

Good afternoon. Do we still hold a firm interest in Yehven Konoplyanka, regardless of whether Sterling stays or is sold? I believe the chance to get him on a Bosman is a no-brainer. Also who do you see as possibilities for solving our goal scoring problem? Is Lacazette a realistic option or do we need to set our sights lower and expect the likes of Danny Ings?
Look forward to your reply.
Cheers. Dodge.

{Ed002's Note - No - Napoli, Inter, Wolfsburg, Roma, Sevilla, West Ham, Spurs, Shakhtar and Bayer Leverkusen have shown recent interest in Konoplyanka who is able to sign a pre-contract with any non Ukrainian side. Spurs and Roma have put the most effort in to trying to put a deal in place for the summer and his representatives have rejected an offer from West Ham, telling them his preferred destination is Arsenal. Dnipro have offered him a new contract. If Liverpool were going to look to the player again (and I don't know that they are), then it would be to replace Sterling.

Lacazette won't be moving to Liverpool. I have explained which forwards the club has shown interest in.}

Ed, I hope you are right. Konoplyanka is a far more effective player than Sterling, and we will have plenty of change left over!

Hi guys I'm hearing a rumour from a well informed source.

Chelsea will move oscar and cech, possibly a few more this summer and will offer Liverpool what they want for sterling. Being a londoner sterling would take a Chelsea move and apparently mourinho has made him his priority this summer.

{Ed002's Note - Someone is teasing you - he is not any sort of priority for Chelsea.}

Have a friend who's a friend of David Sullivan's son, the West Ham owner (great source, I know) supposedly Rodgers' agent is already in talks with West Ham as he knows he's being replaced at the end of the season. I know it's vague and any sane person will write it off as rubbish, just passing on what I've heard.

30 Apr 2015 09:28:35
Rodgers doesn't have an agent, it's widely known he conducts his own business i.e contracts etc. So someone is winding you up.

30 Apr 2015 09:45:45
i don't believe rodgers has an agent,he had a pfa rep help him negotiate his contracts as far as i know. if true then that's an unbelievable story plus i can't see rodgers running,he needs to show character

Goodmorning Eds, one journo on Anfieldwrap(AndyHeaton) tweeted that there was a crisis meeting among the board, and that he expect heads to role. Is it true? and who do you expect to get his matching order?
Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - haven't Ed002 and myself been saying all along there are likely to be changes? This is not news, this is just someone spinning what is already going on.}

30 Apr 2015 09:30:46
He also said Rodgers' position was not on the agenda. I call bull***.

30 Apr 2015 09:37:58
Unless they wanted to save a discussion about Rodgers for another time.
