Hey ed, with aquilani so desperate to stay in Italy surely we could be touting him around to the likes of Napoli, even suggesting a player plus cash deal for hamsik or lavezzi? Both players would bring something to the team in the attacking third. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Matlock.
{Ed013's Note - He doesn't feel suited to the EPL and we are looking to offload him for money. Lavezzi and hamsik would be unlikely to do a deal with because they have committed to their club}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 23:50:39
When does the premierleague website update? I mean the team bar changing adding Swansea, QPR and Norwich and the table reseting?

 

 

 

30 May 2011 23:46:15
A lot of people are talking about using interest in players as smoke screens; does this actually happen?

Also my thoughts on the whole Ashley Young saga, it really seems many people are trying to guess where he is going. I doubt he has made up his mind especially as the season has just ended.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 23:43:58
Liverpool won't be bringing in any big name strikers this summer like aguero or benzema
We already have two top strikers in Carroll and Suarez, and with Kuyt pushing for a place with the new wingers that will come in, I reckon we'll bid for either Wickham or Long and use them as back-up this season
Both are young, have huge potential and want to move to the Prem, do you agree ED? which one is more likely?

Payne LFC
{Ed013's Note - I believe we will bring in a back up striker and I don't believe long or wickham are likely to join}

ed, i know its abit of a tricky question, but as a winger how much do you rate perotti. I know he has one agrentina cap and has played for sevilla for the past few years, but i dont think i have ever seen him play. I know Mata has quality from watching valencia on tv and spain u21s, and obviously i know about young and downing, but perotti is abit of an unknown entity. do you think he is good enough for us, and is he more of a second option if we dont sign 1 of the other players mentioned? any answer you could give would be very appriciated as i know nothing on the player.
thanks ed keep up the good work

{Ed013's Note - I am a big fan of perotti. I believe he would be a good addition and has a lot of potential. At a price of 8 million he is a bargain}

sorry to do this to you again ed, but is there a current or past prem player u could liken him too? and what are his best strenghts and weaknesses?
cheers mate {Ed013's - His strengths are he can play across the attacking midfield. he is creative and can score goals. I cant think about who he reminds me of at the moment I will get back too you}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 23:27:52
Speaking to a midlands based journo on twitter and reckons Liverpool really want Young and in his opinion he thinks 1st team football could swing Young's decision ?

 

 

 

30 May 2011 23:26:11
If payet goes to Lille does that mean hazard is leaving?

 

 

 

30 May 2011 23:26:03
Juan Vargas coming to Anfield, La Viola are looking to replace him with Sebastian Leto

 

 

 

30 May 2011 23:23:28
Can anyone tell me what the situation with Payet is? Seems to have gone a bit quiet.

Len {Ed013's Note - He is most likely going to Lille}

I was told by a friend who's partner's cousin is a Birmingham City player and he says that Ashley Young to Man United is 100%.

lets all hope so.......

 

 

 

30 May 2011 23:13:18
I've heard that Poulson will leave for nothing and that Shelvey will be joining Norwich on loan to gain some regular 1st team football. We will replace them with McCarthy and Adam. The pair will cost around £18million.

White Goodman.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 23:12:01
match mag have said liverpool are in the lead to sign edin hazard for a fee of 25 mil if u dont believe me buy it !!!!!

match mag are one of the most unreliable sources

 

 

 

30 May 2011 23:09:04
From the time traveller....

This is what I have seen from my trip into the future...Raul will be dropped in relation to poor performances due to abuse about persisting to wear his blue jeans at clubs...he will move on in Jan lack of football.
Kevin Doyle ST and James McCarthy RM will both sign Kenny has been to a couple of Ireland games in the past to watch them personally both fully committed players.

We will sign Charlie Adam for over 14 mil and he not worth that Jonjo and Coady out on loan..
Gerrard will play more on the right next season
Mata will sign and also perrotti if we can sell the s**te there will be a suprise signing at LB at present there is enough there in defense THOUGH WINGS MOST IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY LW

From the time traveller....

 

 

 

30 May 2011 22:59:50
By what ive been hearing, we've missed out on Young and i think these would be the players coming in:-

Perroti
Marvaeux
Adam
Dann
Enrique

does that sound about right Ed? all affordable, young and have shown an interest. {Ed013's Note - yes they sound like good targets}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 22:58:10
Liverpool officials meet 2 agents in nw and dalglish in london. Source - kop talk. Let the good times role on :)

 

 

 

30 May 2011 22:24:55
Sakho - 17m
Dann - 7m
Adam - 7m
McCarthy - 10m with shelvey on loan
Gervinho - 13.5m
Perroti - 8.5m
Downing - 18m
Marvuex - free

Summer over :)

 

 

 

30 May 2011 22:22:48
Do you think there is any chance we will sign Defoe from spurs? I think he would be quite a good addition. Thanks ed {Ed002's Note - I don't think so.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 22:20:13
As expected Madrid contact Valencia about Mata

 

 

 

30 May 2011 22:11:49
Lot of rumours today about benzema coming here any tuth to them even tho he sed hed like to stay
Sophie

 

 

 

30 May 2011 22:04:01
in my opinium the combination of Adam and Carroll would be lethal ! We should sign Adam, Adams left foot is quality, he would be a bargain! Ed what you think ? and anyone else would appreciate our opiniun.. {Ed013's Note - I do believe with his passing Carroll would be benefit}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 22:03:42
Liverppol are closing in on 20 year old Palermo starlet Javier Pastore. He can play as a Left winger and center forward. Fits NESV's policy on investment. Check it out!!!
---------------------------------------------------
and you would no this because a voice told you in your head

 

 

 

30 May 2011 22:00:37
will maxi still be at liverpool next season and i hope we sell lucas

He was Player of the season 2010-11 the most Consistent performer IMO the most improved player at the club. Why sell him now?

 

 

 

30 May 2011 21:26:58
ed is Ian mc garry speaking his own opinion are on behalf of bbc {Ed013's Note - It was his own opinion}

I don't know anything about Marveaux but I trust KK & DC's judgement. The eds generally feel that he is good addition to the squad. I read one ed saying he can play anywhere across midfield. Would that include holding & defensive midfield or did the ed mean the attacking positions? Just trying to gain perspective on the realistic targets. CHEERS! {Ed013's Note - Attacking positions}

any possibility of us signing pedro if barca sign mata? :D

 

 

 

30 May 2011 21:39:27
Ed02 and Ed13 could one of you guys give your own personal views on these players and your honest opinions on us getting them. Thanks.
Dann
Enrique
Perotti
Marveaux
Mata
McCarthy

I personally would love if this were our signings for the summer. Cheers {Ed013's Note - 4,2,6,3,6}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 21:36:43
Hi ed's apparently a journo on Radio 5 has said that young is coming to us I thought he was off to utd do you know anything about this?

Cheers
Quince

{Ed013's Note - He did indeed say this but I still think he is off to Man u}

30 May 2011 21:30:02
Sorry Ed I know you have done this plenty of times before but could you please Sakho's 1-10 rating of him being a Liverpool player next season ? Cheers mate really appreciate the work you and all the other Eds are doing ! {Ed013's Note - 2}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 21:29:42
the agent that was at melwood today was that of Eden Hazard's according to koptalk {Ed013's Note - They also said it was augero's}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 21:23:59
Hey Edds :D i was wondering Who do you think would fit best a our LB postion. also Surely the LB would have to be around 25-27 so we can Get Jack Robinson into the squad? Thanks JD {Ed013's Note - Izzaguire}

Said deal is as good as done

Hmm trusted source?

 

 

 

30 May 2011 21:23:57
One player who I would love to be at the club next season would be Sakho. Young, strong and proven at a decent level. 18m should be enough to persuade PSG to let him go. What are the chances of him signing?

Thanks.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 21:23:15

just looked at man city rumours and on there a few city fans have said adam johnson is coming to liverpool for 15 to 20 mil from the looks of things have you got any info on this ed? {Ed013's Note - I am sorry but I highly doubt he will be at Liverpool}

Bit of an update.....bbc5 live said that young may have picked lfc over mufc.(Not sure their source) A bid of 20mill was put into Vargas...and transfer movement could happen on thursday

 

 

 

30 May 2011 21:18:20
Does anyone actually know what's happening with young or downing? Do they even know themselves?


young seems scum bound downing is stalling on a new contract, maybe giving other clubs time to come in for him, i think he could well end up with us, another rafa target just like suarez was

 

 

 

30 May 2011 21:14:28
to the person who sed bellamy for 15 mill.
why wud we pay 15mill for a player who was on loan at a championship club last season

i see your point, im just thinking along the ines of more money to be spent on areas where we are seriously lacking, then that might just be me, i dont believe the owners hav the financial clout that some people on here are sure they hav, with there 50, 60, 70 m wishlists {Ed013's note - I understand and yes you are correct which should spend the money on other positions instead of upfront{


with wingers in my view the priority, who would your choice(s) be ? {Ed013's note - I would choose Perotti and mata}


yeah mata is quality, not seen alot of perotti, i think we should try an get a.johnson, i kno its nigh on impossible to get him but stranger things have happened, i also think willian would be a great buy

I think Kenny will look to sign a couple of BRITISH & IRISH players with Premier League experience. The following look the most likely.....

CB - Scott Dann
CB - Roger Johnson
CB - Matthew Upson
LB - Wayne Bridge
LB - Stephen Warnock
CM - James McCarthy
CM - Charlie Adam
LM - Chris Brunt
LM - Stewart Downing
ST - Stephen Fletcher

What you think ED? {Ed002's Note - I think you are setting your sights rather too low.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 20:58:05
i dont see the need in another striker, dirk kuyt has proven he can score goals this season, next season he can take a more periferal role an be used as a back-up striker, the summer should be spent getting in quality wide players and a good solid left back
the likes of marveaux and adam as squad players also, we need to carry on the blooding in of youngsters, maybe seeing the carling cup as the ideal way of doing that, much like wenger has done

what dya think ed ? {Ed013's Note - You are correct but i believe we do need a back up striker with pace maybe not someone like augero but similar}


i see your point, im just thinking along the ines of more money to be spent on areas where we are seriously lacking, then that might just be me, i dont believe the owners hav the financial clout that some people on here are sure they hav, with there 50, 60, 70 m wishlists {Ed013's note - I understand and yes you are correct which should spend the money on other positions instead of upfront{

 

 

 

30 May 2011 20:54:20
goal, reporting that atletico are ready to sell aguero but only at 39 million. Do you think liverpool will bid for him? and if not why not? as we now know with the new investors we certainly have the funds to do so. could aguero be the perfect signing to show the intent of liverpool and their new owners? what do you think?

-------------------------

I think a simple NO should suffice.....

The answer will be the same for Neymar and Sanchez as well.

what are your reasons for saying an emphatic NO - do you think the players wold not come or the owners would not spend that much money because me personally say, have faith - i think they would come - no doubt - theres optimism for you!!

 

 

 

30 May 2011 20:52:15
Re A young a couple of times journos are saying the same as the guy on 5 live. Who knows.... Ps ed I was the one who said about the vargas story on tabloid and forgot to sign me name...alex

Craig Bellamy in for 15m.. LFC are trying to dissuade his ridiculous 90k a week salary. KK sees him as the perfect winger/3rd striker when needs be.

P.s. he will take a wage cut.

Bambi on ice ..Your kidding me ... right ?

30 May 2011 20:39:48
Ed what's the difference between sakho and subotic and what would they bring to the team. Also how would you rate them out of 10 {Ed013's Note - rating on ability they are similar but likely to come Liverpool would be sakho is more likely}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 20:39:36
This isn't any major news but I think it's worth a post, my good friend is best mates with Adam Johnson from there boro days together, he has just came back from a holiday with Adam and I asked if he mentioned moving on from m.city, he said it depends on how many players come in during the summer but never mentioned Liverpool or any other club, just that he was waiting to see what came in. I know nothing major but better than giving people hope of benzema and the likes signing.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 20:14:07
Just heard that Ian McGarry has just said on 5live that he expects Young to sign for Liverpool and he says Liverpool are confident the deal is done.

I am not so sure.

AS Monaco have been relegated, meaning Djimi Traore will be returning to Liverpool on a Free Transfer as a bit-part player and to develop in coaching.

Hes been 1 of our worst defenders in the last 10 -15 years so cant see him being any better in old age and would probably make an awful coach, youve got to be either a blue nose or a manc.

I am a Rangers fan from Kilwinning and was out in Glasgow last Nyt at a nyt club called Bamboo where I met Charlie Adam. I was asking him who he would like to be playing for next season he said he hopes to be playing for one of the top flight teams but thinks Liverpool are front contenders as they have already spoke to His agent. Honestly would rather see him back at rangers but never going to happen but he is almost certain he will be playing for Liverpool next season as he has not heard about any other teams approaching yet.

was charlie adam not in dublin last nite

Rumours are all over the internet about Liverpool signing an attack minded full back goal scoring defensive midfield playing right wing goalkeeping striker, he goes by the name of smokescreen, have seen his name mentioned countless time on several forums and he was apparently spotted leaving JLA on a tandem with Damien Commoli.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 19:30:59
I read on 1 of the many l.pool pages on facebook that we have offered 20 million euros for vargas is there any truth in this? I really hope there is because he's a quality player nd I also hope we bid for sakho who's gonna be 1 of the best defenders in the world imo

 

 

 

30 May 2011 19:30:28
United have released Hargraves

Some interesting Free's out there -

Hargraves
Vaughan(Bpool)
Wendt
Marveux
Upson
Bothroyd

Not saying we should sign any, Upson for me is better than Soto and Bothroyd better than ngog, good squad players.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 19:24:24
According to carrie Baird ( footy agent) on twitter Liverpool are going for British or Irish players at the moment , not interested in elia drenthe or dzsudszak.

Interesting all the rumours of friedel now going to spurs. He and his wife have recently had a child and i know their mid wife, she knows nothing about football but asked him what team he played for and he said villa but was moving back to liverpool. I can only presume if he goes to spurs that they have told him he will be first choice. From our point of view i think its a clever signing, if jones is leaving then it means we have quality, experienced cover who will likely go onto coach but will not block the young keepers coming through in the long run. For him it makes sense as him and his family won't move but another year or two of first team football elsewhere may lure him down south.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 19:23:06
any chance liverpool will put a bid in for porto, s Rolando in my opinion he is better than Dann also i think liverpool should bid for Shane Long as reading wont make promotion and would get him relatively cheap. out of ten what are our chances? conor m.

{Ed002's Note - I assume this is a spoof post. But just in case it is not, please let me know when Neymar arrives at Anfield (for first team football and further development) and I will drive up to welcome him. And your concrete evidence about Aguero is, I assume, gleaned from KopTalk. I have indeed said that the chances of Aguero joing Liverpool are slim. Obviously your failure to sign your post and you remaining anonymous means that no-one will remember it it two months time I am afraid.}

k ed if your gonna take that tone with my posting reliable information from someone within the club. I am more ITK then you will ever be and the fact that Neymar has recognised that melwood has the best training facilities in the world and he wants to link up with the same Barca coaches which trained up Messi. Messi was his idol which can be easily found on the internet. Neymar is 90% likely to join Liverpool i have been informed. He has repeated quoted his desire to join us and can see just how good coach Kenny is. He is not interested in the money but more in fulfiling the potential he has got. And he feels Liverpool is the best club to go to as he will be guarenteed first team football along with Aguero. The conbined fee will be 70m. We will also sign Gervinho and a young 17 year old winger to add cover to the wings. The LB we buy would be Coentrao but he favours a move to RM because they are willing to pay him higher wages. FACT. We have enquired about Marcelo but DC perfers Cissokho. For a CB both Subotic and Sakho have been enquired about. DC wants Sakho and Kenny wants Subotic. The CM we will be signing wil be McCarthy because he is an ideal replacement for Gerrard but he will be loaned out to Wigan for a year. Finally we will be signing Honda for the creative midfield and to invest into the asian market. This is all fact ed002 so you can either believe it of just complain.

Overall the ins will be:

Neymar
Aguero
Sakho/Subotic
McCarthy
Honda
Marcelo/Cissokho
+some young players under 19.

We will be looking to line up like this

Reina
Johnson Carragher Subotic Marcelo
Lucas Gerrard
Suarez Aguero Neymar
Carroll.

This is accurate ed's. I have sources within the club and im very close to a few lets just say, members of staff.

Tabloidsport saying we have bid 20mil euro for vargas dont know how reliable they are {Ed002's Note - It is a recycled story from earlier in the week. There is certainly interest.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 19:11:29
Anything in the vargas offer ed? Is he a left back?, I'm sure he played centre mid for Fiorentina against us?! {Ed002's Note - He is predominently a left wing back and I think he would be great but right now the focus seems to be on Enrique.}

goal, reporting that atletico are ready to sell aguero but only at 39 million. Do you think liverpool will bid for him? and if not why not? as we now know with the new investors we certainly have the funds to do so. could aguero be the perfect signing to show the intent of liverpool and their new owners? what do you think?

-------------------------

I think a simple NO should suffice.....

The answer will be the same for Neymar and Sanchez as well.

But I do think that Sanchez is the only among the three who can improve the team and the squad......

Kenny Dalglish is desperate to bring Diego Perotti to Anfield, and has reportedly upped his offer by £1.5 million as fears grow that the Argentinian may sign with Juventus.

Talksport is claiming that Dalglish put forward a £7 million bid to coax Perotti into moving to Liverpool, but the midfielder's club Sevilla want to hold out for an £8.5 million offer.

Juventus have come into the mix though, according to reports, and have 'made contact' with Perotti to offer the star a move to Italy rather than England.
The Italian giants' involvement in the transfer is an interesting twist, considering Liverpool is already in a tug of war style talk with Juventus over the movement of on loan Alberto Aquilani.

Should the Italians snare Perotti from Liverpool, Dalglish may be a lot less willing to negotiate a lower price than the 16 million set for Aquilani's permanent release.
---------------------------

Again I see no similarity between the two.

I would say both are disjoint (SETS). No relation with each other.

Conta, the new Juventus coach plays 4-4-2 with two defensive midfielders, hence he has APPARENTLY made it clear he doesnt want Aquilani......Infact he isnt happy with Pirlo either......

But I wouldnt mind keeping Aquilani, though we know he doesnt want to come. I can understand that because unlike English players Italian players do want to play for their country and he doesnt want to miss out on Euro 2012......

As far as Perotti is concerned, only Ed can shed a light on it?
Ed, pls comment.

LiverBird {Ed002's Note - I don't have any confirmation about bids but I do believe Perotti to be a good and viable target and one I have listed as a likely candidate.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 19:01:27
Hey ed what is Marveaux situation
and what does pre contract mean do v get the 1st favor????

{Ed002's Note - The Marveaux situation is that he has yet to have a medical and he is getting up to fitness and he will very likely be joining Liverpool. A pre-contract typically applies in the last 6 months of a contract where a player who is becoming a free agent can sign for a club from another football association. It is irrelevant in the case of Marveaux. Most of the discussion in the last couple of days comes from a recycled interview.}

How has Downing suddenly changed from a no goer to possibly leaving. Did he really refuse a new contract?

I had a funny feeling that Villa might let both Young & Downing leave as they have Albrighton and are keen on N'Zogbia.

I have a very funny feeling that Kenny really rates Downing and he will come. My hunch.

I would like Mata & A. Johnson or Perotti personally.

Hi Ed and fellow fans, what are your thoughts on Sakho.
Unlike Dann and P Jones, Sakho has the height and strength to be as strong as AC in the air. He is also a great tackler, allot of pace with awesome vision to add to a strong pass. For me he has the potential to have a role such as Vidic for LFC. The asking price is high but well worth it, but Kelly and Sakho would be a great centre partnership.

Wheeler92 {Ed002's Note - I think Sakho would be a great buy but we know Liverpool have already baulked at the price. Maybe they will return for him.}

------------------

I agree with both Ed and the person who posted this.....

I have seen Sakho regularly in the Europa League this year........he is a monster of a player.....but a very good thing about him is he can handle having the ball with him unlike Carragher/Skrtel.....Good ball and tactical intellgence......Can tackle whenever required... Plus fantastic build.......Should be kind of NO BRAINER....but then Comollli, Dalglish and Co. are better people than us......

But the crux is AGAIN I feel Ed is correct about the player and the situation at the moment........

Great Job Eds

 

 

 

30 May 2011 18:49:30
Payet is about to sign an improved contract with Lille becaus. Perotti will sign for Juve. Gervinho bid has been lodged but player prefers Arsenal and will probably move there with Hazard. Mutaidi is a fall back option/smokescreen if Sissokho doesent sign which is extremely unlikely. Downing as ive said for a while is a done deal. Please guys dont expect a massive summer in terms of marquee signings we are in a transitional phase. Our aim is champions league qualification then gentle progression on a title assault. Dont expect big star names for a season or two. Rome wasnt built in a day guys. By the way my information comes from a football agent friend whose contacts are involved in the above deals. Ed can you answer a question for me do you thionk weneed a winger like young who goes past a man and crosses or do you think we need a winger like perotti who comes inside? which type would benefit the players we have more? Oh i almost forgot, Elia will sign if we can agree a reasonable fee. His club wanted silly money in Jan but they hope there will be a bidding war and get an inflated price. However there is intrest from spain, Italy and Germany. Peace and Love {Ed002's Note - Liverpool need a couple of wingers to improve the squad. They will need to be able to have all of the attributes you mention.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 18:45:57
Aren't Celtic frontrunners for Shane Long?

Its possible there will be some news out of LFC in the next few days, but I'm not overly optimistic.

Are there any championship players we have been linked with apart from long or wickham (very very very overrated) {Ed002's Note - There was also a link to Oxlade Chamberlain a while back.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 18:15:43
Is there any truth behind the talks of a 5mill move to Napoli for Lucas? That's an insulting valuation

 

 

 

30 May 2011 18:08:09
Ed what is the situation with Kevin Gameiro? think he would be a good option for LFC but who else is interested? {Ed002's Note - Newcastle have placed a bid but the player has set his heart on Valencia. Liverpool do not appear to be in the loop.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 18:04:34
Aquilani in a straight swap for Udinese centre back Cristian Zapata.

News of the move will probably come out at some point this week.

Mata's looking unlikely, he's holding out for a move to Barcelona. Which may happen if they can't negotiate Rossi's price down.

Secret Squirrel {Ed002's Note - If a deal cannot be struck with Juve there is perhaps an option of Milan.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:57:06
Hi ed(s) Do you know if Everton are in for Scot Danns, heard that they are reportadly chasing him. Slightly worried cause sometimes we miss out on poss diamonds in the rough, where as Moysie seems to pick em up. Obviously he would choose us over our neighbours, but unless we bid for him he may have no choice.
Redan {Ed002's Note - There is rumoured interest in Scott Dan by Everton and a number of other EPL clubs.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:56:43
Ed002's I am not going to insult you but you keep refering to mata as he is going to play in the under 21's European championship. FACT look it up yourself Mata was born on 28th April 1988 that makes him 23, so can we have facts and not fiction please (Credability is key)
---------------------
To whoever posted this, you say credibility is key (although you spelt it wrong!) what a shame your post doesn't have any credibility as you seem unaware of the rules concerning under 21 football. You said you were not going to insult the Ed but I'm afraid I am going to insult you. You are a moran FACT

30 May 2011 17:55:43
Ed do you rate bojan of barca and do u reckon he would make it in the pl {Ed002's Note - Aside from Liverpool, there is also interest from Valencia, Arsenal, Dortmund and Bayern Munich. It was suggested to me a couple on months ago by a very well respected football pundit that Bojan may be offered up as part of a deal to take Juan Mata to Barcelona. If he came to the EPL I have no reason to think he couldn.t slot right in.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:51:09
if the window to sign foreign players opens on 1st July then how can Madrid complete the signings of Sahin and Altintope already??? {Ed002's Note - They are complete subject to processing when the window formally opens.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:50:06
I think I know a player who fits the bill for everything and we could get for under 15m-20m the Danish maestro cristian eriksen {Ed002's Note - Perhaps next year. All efforts by Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and AC Milan to express an interest in Eriksen have been pushed back.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:48:05
Lets put one rumor to bed, alright. Elmander has joined Galatasaray. He wont be joining Liverpool, thank heaven.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:40:03
Hey Ed, what you think of our chances of getting Shane Long from Reading after their poor showing in final today? Surely he worthy as a cheap alternative back up striker? Maybe one of 2 irishmen singning wit McCarthy from Wigan? Also affely i think wud be decent buy for roung 6-7 mil? I feel A.Johnson wil stay at City unless big signing like Sanchez cums in, then we could get him 4 cheaper then 12mil been quoted. Whas ur thoughts Ed? {Ed002's Note - Aside from the earlier responses which I assume wou haven't read, I guess there is a chance.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:38:18
What's liverpools chances of signing friedel now? It looked only days away last week, and at the minute who is the main left back target for dc and kk? Thanks (am reali liking ed013)

{Ed002's Note - There are less chances of Friedel joing Liverpool than him joining Spurs. There was an offer made for Enrique that was turned down - so it is likely that he is. I will tell Ed013 what you said - you know he's a guy don't you.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:32:47
ed what are the chances or liverpool getting neymar or aguero or tevez as he wants out of city {Ed002's Note - 0, 1, 0}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:27:32
Since I have posted that mata is going to the Under 21s in denmark, I suggest the guy telling the editor to look at facts! To do his own research! This is from an article if you are still adamant your correct. "Spain have included World Cup winners Javi Martinez and Juan Mata in their squad for the European Under-21 Championship in Denmark but there was no place for Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets." This is not a rant I just feel the editor is doing his best to provide the best information, then you get people like this. THINK

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:08:06
Eds, do you have any news on either Diego from Wolfsburg or Elia from Hamburg? i think that they would both be quality signings an was just wondering if you had heard anything? Please answer, i never get answered! thanks {Ed002's Note - I am guessing that you never get answered as you ask questions that have already been asked and answered because you have not made the time to either read through the posts or use the search facility.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 17:10:42
Sorry if you have been asked this Ed... but who is most likely to secure shane long's signature this summer?
Thanks, Nelly. {Ed002's Note - Given the match only finished half an hour ago, I doubt he has had a chance to think about his future. There has been speculation about Liverpool but for regular first team football perhaps there are some mid table teams where he could become the first choice. I don't know.}

{Ed002's Note - OK, I have no credibility then. You are an example of the totally ill informed that write in to the various sites every day taking swipes and digs at other posters and editors. You type the word "fact" in upper case to stress your point - not caring if it is right or wrong. How many times did you write in to tell me how wrong I was over Coentrao earlier in the week. However, I do thank you for beginning your post by saying "you are not going to insult me". As I said, Valencia may well wait until after the Under 21 Championships where Mata could well put in a very good performance.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 16:45:17
Hi eds do you believe that mata will sign because we all know the fee is not a problem however if he does go man city he won't get to play and if he goes barca then were will Pedro play. The only likelihood is the mighty reds what do you think eds
Brian YWNA {Ed002's Note - I can only assume it must be invisible ink. I will yet again restate: It would not be entirely out of the question that Liverpool could push for the player and make a concerted effort to match any other offer from Manchester City etc.; and then there is a chance Mata could join. In order to get the best deal, Valencia may want to wait (a) to see if Barcelona show an interest; (b) until after the Under 21 Championships were he could well put in a very good performance.}

30 May 2011 16:26:53
Ed002, since you seem to have good info on most matters French, could you give any guarantee that Liverpool haven't as yet made bids for any of our French targets (Gervinho, Payet, Matuidi, M'Vila, Sissoko and Sakho)?

{Ed002’s Note – I can’t give guarantees that bids have not been made. I can confirm all have been the subject of discussion, at one level or other, between Liverpool and their clubs.}

It's just that I've been hearing some rather disturbing rumours about LFC making a measly, insulting " 3m" bid for Blaise which apparently had the chairman of his club going amok. It's also claimed that Blaise was offered a laughable "3k" wage increase.

Now, I can't confirm or deny any of this, and I wouldn't want to start making speculative views, but if there's any truth in all this, it would be a very, very unfortunate situation.

{Ed002’s Note – I have not heard anything like this but would note that Newcastle were under the opinion that the bid for Enrique was derisory.}

I've no problem with the notion of bargaining, but this would be utterly insulting and unacceptable behaviour. Offering a third of what a player is worth?
Isn't that we did with Suarez in January?

Granted, we ended up getting the player, but I'd say that much of that was due to the player not having much in terms of options.

Had, say, a United/Inter/Milan, came in, we wouldn't be singing "I just can't get enough" right now.

{Ed002’s Note – All of this is correct. The negotiating tactics and conducting the negotiation in public was something I would hope led to a lesson being learned.}

And would you have blamed Ajax and the player for snubbing us, after being insulted in such a manner?
I certainly wouldn't have.

Good Fowler! Even Chelsea (who are supposed to be classless) didn't resort to such despicable behaviour in their pursuit of Torres.

Right now we supposed to be negotiating with Mata's rep, who's believed to been "impressed" with us thus far (as with Suarez back in Jan). Now what are the odds of us putting in 12m bid for him? Knowing our "very astute" negotiators, I'd say 9/10.

However, problem this time round is that Valencia will have many prospective buyers and the player a plethora of options.
Some teams just won't tolerate this "lowballing" nonsense.
And we'll end up a joke, the laughing stock in Europe.

I don't seek to write off our negotiators, even when the window's barely openned.
But I must say that following the Suarez nigh-debacle, and Comolli's distateful conduct in his dealings with clubs, I rest a wee bit uneasy.

{Ed002’s Note – As I say, one hopes that a lesson has been learned. The issue with Mata will surround what other options are available and who else bids. Interest has also being shown by Chelsea (waning), Manchester City and Manchester United. Barcelona may well also become interested at some point - and if they do show their hand I feel he could move there. Manchester City was reportedly heading the queue but had an offer rejected. As such, it would not be entirely out of the question that Liverpool could push for the player and make a concerted effort to match any other offer; and then there is a chance Mata could join. In order to get the best deal, Valencia may want to wait (a) to see if Barcelona show an interest; (b) until after the Under 21 Championships were he could well put in a very good performance.}

The feeling is that, it might not necessarily be "CL football" which cost us some of our targets, but our modus operandi in negotiations.
The Suarez transfer wasn't supposed to drag on. It ended doing so.

We're interested in and want to sign Matuidi, Payet and perhaps Sissoko.
One wonders how no significant inroads have been made in this regard.
Valencia want to sign Gameiro. I'm led to believe that they've positioned themselves to seal the deal pretty soon. No beating about the bush. No farce.

Real wanted Sahin. They quickly moved to wrap him up.
There are lots of other clubs that, as we're speaking, are working on closing some deals.
At the risk of sounding an impatient, whinging. moaner, I often ask myself:

"Okay, we want Matuidi; he'd be interested; his club would sell (at £8m-£9m). So why haven't we sealed the deal?"
Why won't we swiftly swoop for our target when we've decided on it?

I can tell you right now that terms could (should) have long been agreed with Etienne and Blaise.
How and why they haven't I cannot for the life of me say.
I mean, it's not like we started the scouting last week.

Fellas, I'm not being impatient here, but just raising valid concerns. If you're happy to sit there and believe we have the best negotiators in the world who're executing their tasks impressively and that we're moving at the right pace in the window, by all means, be my guest.

Anyway, Ed002, about my question earlier.

Hi ed, all the talks been about hazard and gervinho, but I've heard from a source were interested in sow from Lille as r backup striker. U heard anything? Jay from Ireland
{Ed013's Note - No sorry}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 16:16:12
Apparently there is a possibility of Kaka going back to Milan. Real Madrid have inquired about Gerrard's long term fitness as there is interest in bringing him to Madrid if / when Kaka goes... Playing along side In front of Alonso makes some sense!

30 May 2011 16:11:00
Have we contacted players clubs and agents for players such as McCarthy, Adam, Perotti and Mata?

Thanks James Price {Ed002's Note - I refer you to the answer I gave when you asked the same question 12 minutes ago.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 16:09:16
I look at this page regularly and have seen many players linked this summer. I feel Scott Dann, Charlie Adam and Sylvain Marveux are near certainties to sign and i also feel a fellow irishman is soon near to joining our club in the fee of 8mil plus add-ons. The big signing of the summer wil be mata of valencia for round 16mil plus. Perotti I feel wil be a better and cheaper alternative then ashley Young as i feel he is a very good player but wil want huge wages. Sakho would also be a very good signing for the future and someone who would be a key player next season. If we were ta go for one top striker i feel we shud go all out for benzema as Llorente will sign for madrid paving way for a move to us.Finally Gervinho based on worldcup and league performances would be another good winger. Watch this space. Lifetime Liverpool fan. YNWA

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:59:27
Ed, has there been any official contact made with Adam, McCarthy, Perotti and Mata

Thanks
David Matthews {Ed002's Note - There has been confirmed contact with the clubs of all four at one time or another recently. That is far from confirmation that all will join of course or that bids have been made even.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:54:04
I just wanted to ask that now that perrotti looks more likely what do you think his rating is now. I remember one of the eds said he was a 5 out of 10 what do you think his rating is now eds. Btw great site keep up the good work.

___________________________________
This is good news considering we are close to sealing another young talent ! So if he signs its looking like we will have Perotti , McCarthy and Marveaux ! And probably only 20m spent ! Whats your thoughts Ed ? Cheers mate, {Ed002's Note - I don't know if the has been all of this bidding that has been suggested but I have been saying for some time that there is a good choice of Perotti signing and Juventus is the opposition. The problem is I get drowned out by the Hazard fans.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:52:22
ED, was there ever any genuine interest in Reading's Shane Long? {Ed002's Note - I really don't know. The name came out of the blue a couple of weeks ago.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:47:35
Eds, ive watched alot of spanish football this season and have been impressed with piatti and griezmann. both great wingers with loads of potential. is there any possibilty of either moving to anfield this summer? {Ed002's Note - Piatti may well head to Atletico Madrid, Udinese or even Valencia. Griezmann I am less sure about. Everything has been pretty quiet and no move appears on the cards at present. Valencia, Marseille and Lyon have shown some confirmed interest in the past and repordedly Barcelona have taken a peak.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:47:07
I no its not likely but as Miroslav Klose is a free agent, surely he must be worth a punt as a backup striker {Ed002's Note - It would be horrendously expensive with signing on fee and wages for a guy in his 30s. If Liverpool are going to start going down that route I would start fearing for the financial future.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:39:35
Ed, Is there a strong possibility about Juan Mata from Valencia joining the might Reds. I have heard talk and rumours but what are the odds of him joining us. I also expect Madrid and Barcarole to be floating around, no? If you could, please list how likely he is to join us

Thanks Jamie Bunnan
{Ed013's Note - There is a possibility that we could sign him. It depends on the player him self as a fee is not a problem}

Is there any interest from any other clubs. Have we contacted Valencia or are we just known to be looking at him. I'm guessing the transfer fee would be about £21M {Ed001's Note - there is a fair bit of competition, from Spain, Italy and England.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:35:41
Just been talking to Paul Gerrard - Stevie's brother. He told me Fernando Llorente and Mata are both close to complete. Reina been instrumental in both signings.

re:

Can any one tell me if we are looking at Alex Witsel? Is he any good? Would he be in the starting line up or a squad player? ED have you any info pls? {Ed013's Note - We are interested in this player but it seems arsenal are more likely to make a bid}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:28:24
Ed has anything changed on the Mata, Perotti or McCarthy stories ? Cheers. {Ed001's Note - not yet, I have never understood why negotiations take so long, but they do and there is only likely to be news when something changes. In other words when they either fall through or are completed rather than just while they are ongoing.}
__________________________________
I know Ed I never understood how it takes so long to make a bid, hold talks with the club, agree a fee, sign a contract and have a medical !
I mean on deadline day it doesn't take long but other than then it takes weeks ! Cheers Mate.

Ed, do you believe Charlie Adam is good enough for Liverpool? I think he only stands out at Blackpool because he is a good player in a bad team. What do you think? {Ed013's Note - I do think he is good enough his set pieces are worth 7 million alone and he has a great passing range. People need to realize that he scored 13 goals and 9 assists in a team that got relegated and is a midfielder. He was the reason for nearly 2/3 of there goals to me that speaks for it self}

=========================
yeah but ed most of his goals were from penalties. i think only one goal was scored fom open play. if he came to liverpool i doubt he would be taking the penalties. i am not convinced by this player at all as of yet. but i trust kk if he thinks he will provide something for the team

The answer will no doubt be no but can anyone actually confirm anything about Liverpool transfers? And what is our transfer kitty?

____________________________________________

Re:

Alright mate, currently no transfers are 100%. Marveaux seems to be the closest and expect him to sign in a couple of weeks however as I say nothing has been confirmed transfer wise.

In terms of a transfer kitty no explicit amount has been mentioned I presume this will be subject to the owners, Comolli and Dalglish, on what they deem is necessary.

30 May 2011 15:25:03
how do you see charlie adam fit to our system...any suggestion from ed... {Ed013's Note - He reminds me of a alonso type position to feed the balls to gerrard. Although he is not as good as alonso}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:24:37
My man tells me Jeffren Suarez is looking likely. Have you any news on this Ed?

Chris in Tamworth {Ed013's Note - No sorry}

Ed way do u think are the possibilities if Jose boswinga (spelling) joining {Ed013's Note - No}

Ed, as of all the hype and rumours about Perotti, Mata, McCarthy, Adamand Hazard. Could you please take a little bit of your precious time and name the clubs in order of those these players are likely to be with next season. As of ma y fans I'm buzzing with all the players linked
Thanks: Luke Powell {Ed013's Note - Perrotti- Liverpool, Mata- really not sure, McCarthy-Liverpool, Adam-Liverpool and hazard- Lille. But that is my opinion not concrete. }

So itdoes look positive for Perotti, Adam and McCarthy? would love if Mata signs and I would expect Hazard to remain for one more season due to Lille in the CL?
Also happy that Young is edging towards OT, very over-rated {Ed013's note - those 3 are the most likely in my opinion}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:20:16
heard a rumour of James Milner coming to Anfield.

Have u heard anything Ed.?

So when does the transfer window open i thought it was june 1st but im doubting myself cos just seen some1 put july 1st????? {Ed013's Note - !st of June for British signings and 1st of July for foreign signings}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:12:53
To me, it seems very simple on what KK and DC should do. Sign Mata and give him a high wage (approx 100-120k). Also sign Perotti. Both are young and show heaps of potential. KK should get these deals wrapped up ASAP before going to sign anyone else.

Do you agree ed?

Thanks. {Ed013's Note - Yes but maybe not as much for his wage.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:09:01
Liverpool should sign dmitri sychev as he is a free agent soon, would be a good 3rd striker and is at the peak of his career and is a very good finisher wiv both feet

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:05:40
Liverpool will get Charlie Adam and at best one other player this summer, neither will be 'high' profile player and the club will be lucky to spend 30mil in total. Young is a goner..to Manu so lets all forget about this one. Things aren't as rosy in LFC as a lot of you guys are saying. Let's be honest and realistic rather than filling these pages with wishful thinking!

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:04:06
If a.johnson and harzard are unlikey who do u think we could go for for rw cuz perotti plays on lw don't he? If adam does come in do u think kd will push gerrard or mereiles out to rw?i hope not cuz they not natural wingers...
{Ed013's Note - Perroti can play right and mata can play left but does not matter where they start as they would shift sides during the game. And it depends on if we get these players.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:03:41
Dmitri Paye set to sign for Lille. Does it hints Hazzard out? At the moment which club do u think is more at action to land this guy eddie?

 

 

 

30 May 2011 15:03:06
hi ed :). if we are likely to sign a RW who would u say is looking most likely at present? cheers

Comolli seen checking in at Manchester airport. The flightdesk was Easyjet and it was going to Hamburg. Doubt this is for Elia though, he is not the kind of wideman we need to supply Carroll.
I have heard Dennis Aogo may be the man we are looking to sign. He is a German international left-back.

Ayrey

=============================
no he wasnt

30 May 2011 14:54:45
I think we should sign for lb either one of vargas/izzaguire, cb eigher one of sakho/dann, lw mata, cm charlie adam, rw eigher one of a.johnson / hazard, back option for striker bojan if possible do u know what the possibilty of signing any of these players ed?
{Ed013's Note - izzaguire is more likely then vargas. Dann is more likely then sakho. Mata and adam have a high chanve of being at liverpool. Adam johnson and hazard unlikely and bojan depends on price tag}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 14:53:19
Liverpool will make them an offer they can't refuse. Who would want to turn down the mighty reds as they enter a new much more exciting era. We should put bids in for whoever we want, and if they are really worth it then splash the cash. What are the top 5 signings that you'd like to see ed? {Ed013's Note - Mata,perroti,Cahill,izzaguire,adam}

liverpools 2 left wingers next season will be s downing abd S Marveaux

 

 

 

30 May 2011 14:45:00
I believe we only need 5 new signings to mount a title charge next season. This is working on the basis of quality, not quantity:
Muniain as a 3rd striker or to provide options
Perrotti - a much needed winger. For the prices that are being touted i would buy him twice
Mata - Another quality winger. Everyone knows what he's about.
Angel - Quality left back - can both attack and defend and wouldn't cost a ridiculous fee- a player we are screaming out for.
Sakho - Young, strong, consistent, versatile could provide cover at left back as well and I believe he will be a star of the future. If we don't get him now. someone else will and we will live to regret it.
Any thoughts Ed, also do you have any more knowledge than me on the availability of Iker Muniain?
Cheers, please post, great site!
{Ed013's Note - They are all good signings but I'm not sure about the availability of Iker Muniain}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 14:44:12
What about shane long as a back up striker save spending loads on someone unproven in england, i think that he is a decent player and a class goalscorer
Also, why is sakho rated at around 16mil is he that good eds
Jordlfc
{Ed013's Note - Sakho is good but also has potential to improve that why he rated that much}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 14:41:06
ed

can you please tell me the players we have been linked with that actually have a good chance of coming
{Ed013's Note - Adam,dann,Marveaux and mata}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 14:38:15
Eds, Do me a favour and rate our chances of landing these players out of ten? (I know you must be sick of it by now, Sorry!)

McCarthy, Adam, Dann, A.Johnson, R.Johnson, Mata, Benzema, Aguero, Marveux, Young, Downing, Sturridge, Perotti, Hazard, Gourcuff, Friedel.

Cheers lads, Doing a great job. {Ed013's Note - 7,6,5,1,1,4,2,1,1,7,1,2,1,4,1,1,2}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 14:35:47
Alot of talk regarding Dann which i find interesting, i got to say Roger Johnson is a player i been impressed with. Had a very strong start to the season and was odds on to become a regular starter for England. I think he would be well worth looking at. What do you think eds?

Adzii
{Ed013's Note - He is a good player and is home grown which is good. We are interested in him and are thinking about placing a bid}

Fantastic Stuff! Thanks Ed013 i will keep you updated with any transfer news over the coming weeks.

Man city to have summer spending spree And clear out. Adam Johnson 8m To liverpool
Villa to sell Young to Man U and Downing to stay.
20m Hazard decides to join Liverpool.
What I would like to happen but unlikely.
How great would Johnson and Hazard be on the wings.

That's one o the best that i have saw on this site mate. That made me laugh

 

 

 

30 May 2011 14:31:06
The deals for marveaux and McCarthy are all but done. Liverpool have made offers for Mata and perotti and are waiting for a reply. And we are waiting for valuations and feedback for the others before any bids are made

 

 

 

30 May 2011 14:27:02
Hey ed, do you see eriksen from Ajax as a viable replacement for gerrard? I think we could trump alot of the big guns of Europe by landing him. Do you think we stand any chance of signing him or would he rather bide his time in holland until one of the big continental sides come in for him?
Thanks, Matlock.
{Ed013's Note - I don't think there is someone that could replace gerrard. Although he is a good player but not sure if he is one of our targets this summer}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 14:13:09
Ed, I was just wondering how come people are so uncertain about us having an I interest in Eden Hazard, after all The Mirror did report last week we had made an official bid for him and Comolli was keen to tie up the deal for the Belgian.... please reply {Ed002's Note - Hazard signed a new contract with Lille and if he cannot get a move that suits him (Barcelona and Real Madrid were his preference) then he could stay and play in the Champions League next year. Juventus are very keen but cannot offer football at the highest level right now. Arsenal, Liverpool, Juventus, Real Madrid, Spurs and Barcelona have shown interest or admiration for the player. I would not be surprised to see Manchester United throw their hat in to the ring as well. If he does move and I was pushed for an answer, I think he could end up in Italy, possibly at Inter. The recent Liverpool bid rumours seem to be little more than the recycling of the story of Damian Comolli asking to be kept informed of any movements for the player and this is several weeks old.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 14:12:07
Hey fellas, I have heard that it's not Mata who we are talking to Valencia about no, it's their CB Ricardo Costa and RW Pablo Hernandez. Both class players and would be great additions to the squad. Thanks ed.

Ashley Young was a smokescreen for Juan Mata. LFC want more continental players in their squad and Mata is the calibre of player LFC need.

just wondering is there any word on adam.. also have yous any info on eila..

PABLO YNWA {Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed in respect of either player. Adam remains on the likely list and the club walked away from the asking price for Elia in January but may be interested again.}

About the Aquilani situation: if Juve aren't willing to pay up and the lad really wants to go, how about DC showing his worth and negotiating a swap deal involving Milos Krasic, a quality wide man...after all juve are also rebuilding like us and we got a better manager and league status...

ive heard that Brad Friedle (spelling) has signed for spuds as there new no1, they must be desperate as hes 40 year old, would have liked him at anfield thou to help with the coaching and would have been a good back up to pepe.
Have you heard this ed?

Paul the red

{Ed002's Note - I think Spurs have the edge.}

Hey ed, what happened with all the talk about Affellay and Gago go?? Even Pedro Leon from Real looks good, what are your thoughts???
cheers Samuel from Melbourne {Ed002's Note - I suspect that neither Pedro Leon or Gago are of interest or will be moving to Liverpool. I think Barcelona will be prepared to let Affelay go, but he may be offered up in a deal for Fabregas.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 12:49:04
{Ed001's Note - all that is waiting on Marveaux's deal is his recovery from the op, if he is ok the deal is there agreed and ready to sign. McCarthy I am not sure, all I know is we were in talks with Wigan. Adam deal was all agreed in Janaury, but then Oyston refused to sanction the deal or even speak to us. Last I heard Adam was not even sure if the deal was still on the table but he was going to have a week or two off before sitting down and sorting out his future.}

Any idea about when Marveaux will have recovered or be ok for his medical i assume? {Ed002's Note - He is ready to have the medical pretty much anytime now. He wants to get some fitness back as well.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 12:44:37
Thin the person who suggested Lukas Podolski is right, we should be looking at him. Podolski on the left carroll through the centre and suarez on the right. that will be some front three.
Ed you know of any interest or weather the play would want to move?
Pops {Ed002's Note - There is no interest from Liverpool in Podolski that I am aware of. I doubt Podolski going to a club where he cannot be sure of a starting place - it would put his international career at risk.}

There is no confirmation of any offer, but he remain, in my view, a very good option.}

30 May 2011 11:49:11
LFC were never in for Aguero... Smokescreen for Benzema and tbf no one (media) knew of interest in Benzema in Jan when infact we were very close to getting him, until Real changed their minds and pulled out at the last minute forcing to us to resort to buying Carroll, a summer target, for a very inflated price. With Real looking certain to get Aguero and Llorente atm it doesnt look too good for Benzema as Jose rates Higuain much more, and Jose only wants 3 top strikers (same as Kenny). It will be Gervinho or Benzema as Benzema plays as a striker aswell as a forward winger, similar to Gervinho.

Just a recap on what I know.

8m bid for Perrotti went in Friday night, 9m bid for Gervinho lined up but on standby waiting on what Benzema says to us, if hes interested in moving to us anymore, wage demands and how much Real are looking for though I been told 17-23m should do it.. Been given the go ahead by Mata and Downing's agents to make a bid as both agents were impressed with the Aim and Vision of FSG. Also Reina put in a sneaky word with Mata. Expect bids shortly. Matuidi and Adam in advanced talks with LFC officials, personal term talks will continue with Adam over the next 2 or so weeks. Cissokho's agent has contacted us telling us how he has his heart set on a LFC move. Thats what led us to be interested as we had thought he wouldnt be available this summer. We have doubts over Enrique's defending and lapses of concentration. Newcastle looking for 14m when we could get Cissokho who is a better LB, for the same price. Lyon are looking at him to replace Cissokho. Enquiries made for Jones but thats all it is atm, BRFC willing to sell at the right price. Godin, Sakho, Cahill. Vertonghen, Tomkins also being monitored.

If there is a bidding war for scott dann, and even tho he may be valued by LFC at 9 mill and others bid £15m or more, has Dann the last say where he goes regardless of fee?
--------
liverpool will not get involved in bidding war for scott dann. They will offer 6mil and Birmingham will accept. The reason they will accept is because Scott dann will force throught the move.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 11:38:19
to the guy who said marvaux was signing in the summer as it was on the lfc website. yes it is but its only a report from gossip columns, and as it says it does not necessarily represent the view of liverpool football club. if you are going to post something you copy from the liverpool site, then read the complete article before doing so.

Joey7BartonJoseph Barton
if am not offered a new contract, my hands are tied. I will continue to do everything in my power to bring a trophy to St James next season.

I copied this from the Joey Barton twitter page people were mentioning early. It was written 18 hours ago.
Lets hope they keep him...........

 

 

 

30 May 2011 11:13:40
Outs are (at least):
Konschesky
Cole
Jovanovic
Aurelio (although i'd rather he stayed)

source: LFC shop - sounds like a stupid source, but i found out Johnson had signed because you could get your shirt printed with Johnson 2 before the signing had even announced on the official site!
Jova, Cole and fabio have been shunted rite to the bottom of the list, and Konschesky isnt there at all!

 

 

 

30 May 2011 11:05:31
This is not a rumour as such, but I've just noticed that Cole 10 has been removed from the options to be printed on a shirt on the Liverpool fc webstore. Is this a signal that he is leaving?

hi ed, can you tell me which players are close to a move to liverpool? thanks {Ed002's Note - Marveaux, perhaps McCarthy and Adam.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 10:43:09
Hi ed's,

Great work, just read on lfc.tv (transfer gossip) of a target being Axel Witsel from Standard Liege and our scouts have been at several of SL games.

I've not heard his name previously and wondered if you can give us an update of interest and ability.

Cheers {Ed002's Note - There has been interest in Witsel from both PSV and Liverpool, but the player has an oft stated ambition to play for Arsenal. Arsenal may or may not be interested in the player who remains best known for his leg breaking tackle on Marcin Wasilewski.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 10:34:50
Dave.. {Ed002's Note - So where is the £200M plus coming from?}

Yeah don't think there is much chance of getting them all...but one or two of this calibre would be a statement of intent...Don't think signing the likes of Dann, Adam, Marveux will send shockwaves to our premiership rivals do you?

Dave {Ed002's Note - I think it unlikely that the owners are planning to spend £50M or more trying to make some sort of "statement of intent" to scare other teams in teh EPL. The club need to improve the squad and their are key positions that need work. Out of the list, all of which are very good players, Sakho would be the most likely buy and we know Liverpool have already baulked at the price. Maybe the club will go back with another offer. Sadly, I really don't see Alexis Sanchez or Neymar as being guys who are going to arrive this summer.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 10:28:27


Liverpool have agreed the signing of Rennes winger Sylvain Marveaux, after the pacy Frenchman settled a pre-contract agreement at Anfield to sign for a free transfer in the summer.

Just copied this from the LFC website this morning!

 

 

 

30 May 2011 10:24:56
Ed002 there must be a big chance of Park Chu-Young now that Monaco are relagated ? Be a great edition to the squad?

Square tomato {Ed002's Note - I would have thought so, but.... A couple of weeks ago PCY gave alengthy interview where he spoke of his new bride and what teh future holds. He made it pretty clear that he will only move to a club with Champions League football. For me, he may be being unrealistic. I also think that he would be an ideal solution to Liverpool's need for an additional versatile striker. We will have to wait and see.}

hi ed i have a good sourse and he has told me we have tabled a bid for sevilla perotti around 7 million no desision as yet from sevilla but we have bid. i also understand we have met twice with mata farther his manager last being on saturday talks went well and a formal offer is to be made this week he will be are big name transfer. also understand that aqua man will be leaving despite intrest cooling from juventus there is more intrest from inter and ac milan.
We have made enquirys on clichy from gunners and could get as cheap as 8 million as his contract runs out next summer and we are waiting on the gunners as they are yet to have talks with him as weather he will sign a new one if not he will be sold and we are front runners for him.


ALL FROM A VERY VERY GOOD PAL WHO DOES KNOW THE RITE PEOPLE WITHIN THE CLUB.

Ed if FSG and DC are serious about being in for the best youth players out there then we would be making SERIOUS moves for Hazard, Sanchez, Neymar, Pastore, Bojan, Sakho, Lukaku etc etc....If we were to make serious offers they would have to listen, instead we are waiting as our prem rivals start making moves for these players.. The FACT of the matter is we are looking at cut price alternatives...Dann, Mcarthy, Adam, Marveux, Nzogbia..I have a feeling the revoloution may take some time!!!

Dave.. {Ed002's Note - So where is the £200M plus coming from?}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 09:52:13
*This is not a rumour*

We are closing in on our targets, & expect a couple of players to sign, who havent had a mention in the press/ media.
cb: C.Zapata 12m
lb. D.Aogo 7m
cm. C.Adam 8m
lw. S.Marveux 0m
rw/ st. B.Ruiz 9m
st. W.Zaha 2m

We will sign J.McCarthy from Wigan for 8.5m, but he will stay with Wigan for another season, as part of the deal.

Thank god Young is off to the spam never wanted this overrated player at Anfield. I would not want Adam there either basically far better players out there we could sign than two overrated British players.

Any more news on Mata Ed ? Seems to have gone quiet.

{Ed002's Note - Well I would not expect too much action at the moment. There is interest from other clubs and I suspect that, in order to get the best deal, Valencia may want to wait (a) to see if Barcelona show an interest; (b) until after the Under 21 Championships were he could well put in a very good performance.}

"I got a txt from a friend on Friday saying that a deal for Joey Barton to come to Liverpool has already been done. the bloke I got the txt from is normally good with the ins and outs at Anfield, he has connections with the Echo sports desk, but this one had me scratching my head. what do you guys think? {Ed002's Note - The concensus of opinion is that Liverpool fans would rather he did not make the move.}"

I wouldn't listen to anything that comes from the echo sports desk, they haven't got a clue anymore and are usually days behind.

30 May 2011 09:42:20
Ed can you confirm if we do have genuine interest in Jan Vertonghan from Ajax?

Would be a quality signing if we did get him.

{Ed002's Note - The only confirmed interest I have noted in the player is from Arsenal, Manchester City and Bayer Leverkusen. Sorry.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 09:34:05
Morning Ed002 I got absolutely slaughtered last night because I posted that I had heard from a friend connected to West Brom that Dann was going to the baggies in a swap deal with Morrison. Ed013 had not heard this rumour so I thought I would run it by you to get your take. Thanks

Chris in Tamworth {Ed002's Note - I have heard nothing about West Brom Chris but Everton may be interested.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 09:32:45
Hi Ed's

A quick question, 12 months ago we where sniffing around two quality attacking midfield's / wingers Keisuke Honda And Bryan Ruiz. The question is do you think there is still any interest? As I see it there are a lot of positives if both players (age, quality, type of player needed, cost of them and commercially Honda is a no brainer)

Thanks,
Markolfc {Ed002's Note - Liverpool may have blown their chance of Honda in January when he was available. Although it is coming up to mid-season in Russia, Wolfsburg are interested in Honda though. As for Ruiz it has been quiet. It seems that Porto have looked at him as a replacement for Falcoa who may be moving on and both Benfica and Shaktar remain interested.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 09:30:39
Charlie Adam is 1/5 with Sky Bet to be a Liverpool player next season, Ashley Young is 1/8 to be at Utd, Drogba is Evens to be at Galatasaray and Fabregas is 4/6 to be at Barca, so the top two look like done deals to me, these betting sites are notmally spot on :)

 

 

 

30 May 2011 09:20:20
Hi ED, are we interested in Lukaku, Aguero, Mata, Hazard or Sanchez thanks. {Ed002's Note - Anderlecht want €30M for Lukaku and priced the player out of the market. His agent is now hawking him around a number of clubs trying to muster up interest in a cheaper deal. It is unclear whether Liverpool are interested, but they have been in the past. There is no interest in Aguero at this time. There is interest in Mata and Comolli has expressed his admiration of Hazard but it is unlikely he will be joining. There is no interest in Hazard.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 09:16:51

I work for the club as a soccer schools coach. We had a meeting at anfield on wednesday with the chief scout Dave Moss about scouting foreign talent. He told us that kenny and commolli have a great working partnership and that they are at the academy on a regular basis checking on youngsters. He commented On the youngsters whoove been apart of the first team reccently and he thinks the likes of Raheem Stirling, suso, David Amoo and a few others will break into the first team next season.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 09:09:06
30 May 2011 01:47:12
Ed, do you believe Charlie Adam is good enough for Liverpool? I think he only stands out at Blackpool because he is a good player in a bad team. What do you think? {Ed013's Note - I do think he is good enough his set pieces are worth 7 million alone and he has a great passing range. People need to realize that he scored 13 goals and 9 assists in a team that got relegated and is a midfielder. He was the reason for nearly 2/3 of there goals to me that speaks for it self}

++ Ed013 is correct, our interest in Adam is for his quality left footed free kicks and corner delivery. We've missed Aurelio's left footed free kicks this past season.

With a target man like Carroll in the box a quality free kick and corner specialist like Adam is worth probably 10 or 12 goals per season - not to mention the goals he'll score himself.

The guy can also pick out a long pass. He's a battler who plays with passion and the fans love him. He's no Messi but put him in a team and he'll help bring it all together (like Alonso used to do)

ed- what are the chances of us getting adra taraabt, and are we still interested cheers {Ed004's Note - I don't know}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 08:58:23
Seen people start to mention bojan but he won't be joining lfc. Arsenal and manure are likely to be making a move for him.
Wouldn't surprise me if we moved for seb larssen on a free.
Looking at Dann, but again arsenal are showing interest so may start a bidding war. If we have a bid accepted expect the move to lfc. Might also look at roger Johnson but I'm not sure about him myself.
Last one I've not seen mentioned before is chu young park from monaco who is likely to leave now they have been relegated.
Cheers

 

 

 

30 May 2011 08:58:18
Are Liverpool looking to sign mata, perotti and marveaux? And I've not heard anything about payet for a while so is that over?

 

 

 

30 May 2011 08:57:19
Is it not true that nobody outside the club really knows what's going on as we now do business the Liverpool way. I expect the club to make a statement this summer however I Feel we will nit know anything until deals are done

 

 

 

30 May 2011 08:49:30
Whats the gossip today fellas???

 

 

 

30 May 2011 08:39:02
eds, why has no-one posted about podolski? his straight line speed is something we're in need of up front to support carroll and suarez, and he's got a cracking long shot on him. what do you reckon the chances are of signing him and do you reckon he'll be a valuable asset?

77chris {Ed004's Note - Yes, I rate him very highly and he is a very good player}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 08:34:06
If there is a bidding war for scott dann, and even tho he may be valued by LFC at 9 mill and others bid £15m or more, has Dann the last say where he goes regardless of fee?

 

 

 

30 May 2011 08:29:38
29 May 2011 22:30:22

I have literally just spoke to Stewart downings best friend he has just told me there is no chance of a new contract and he is going to sign for Liverpool this is concrete please post! {Ed002's Note - Ah, a concrete post.}

Maybe, but a concrete post is way better than most of the rotten wooden posts we get on here. And I know it's only Youtube, but Marveau looks whack! Not sure why we'd buy him.

This is 100% true i was with his best mate whos just come back from ibiza with him was in middlesbroughs youth set up with him and downing has said hes had enough at villa and wants out liverpool his preferred option!!

 

 

 

30 May 2011 08:09:34
Morning Ed's

I said a few weeks ago I would go for Jones and Dann, Is it possible we could go for both and play them as a new CB pairing ? We conceded over 40 goals last season and it must be the worst for a number of years?


I am also hoping like many we have transfers done and dusted before pre season starts so the squad have time to gel together

30 May 2011 07:45:14
ed
are we gigning adam and mata and macarthy this season.
will man utd get them just so we dont
plus which big player are we most likely to try for
all the best ed you are all doing a wonderful job
{Ed004's Note - I doubt Man Utd would sign a player just so Liverpool couldn't}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 07:40:57
do you think we have a chance of signing jesus navas think he would be a great signing, rumours have gone cold.out of ten?
{Ed013's Note - 1 as he suffers with chronic home sickness and I believe he is not suited to the EPL}

Jesus Navas no longer suffers from the homesickness he previously did, hence he travels with the spanish squad for away games now! Regardless, we wont go for him.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 07:39:07
Hi Ed's, is izzaguire any good? dont know much about him myself. {Ed004's Note - From what I hear he is a very good player, but I have not see him play}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 07:32:50
LFC will not be able to compete with the big guns on highly rated players on transfer fees.
When will our scouts get us players like Man U hernandez a bargain at 6million. We need to be smart and start working on these kind of players rather than go head to head with the big spenders.
These players will not demand CL etc they will be out there to prove a point.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 07:31:44
Ed I was just wondering if we have beeb looking at players in the Bundesliga? More specifically... Gotze, Kagawa, Podolski, Mertesacker and is there still interest in Gomez? I think any of those players would be excellent signings including Podolski who I see as a Premier League style player and much more suited to the English game. {Ed004's Note - I can not see him leaving, Gomez, that is}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 07:01:21
Hi ed just saw on wiki about Mccarthy.
It says Liverpool and Squad no: 15 as club info.
What we already signed him? {Ed004's Note - No, Anyone can edit Wiki}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 06:11:22
Ed, how long do you think before Conor Coady and Suso come up to the team? {Ed004's Note - I think it will be after this season coming}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 05:15:37
Good Morning Eds,

what's happening on Arda Turan front?
Has he agreed to join A.Madrid?

Are they waiting to finish Auguro deal and then announce Arda's?

KK was very interested in him before and so why is he not backing up the interest now? Any idea /information regarding this?

thanks

 

 

 

30 May 2011 03:47:27
Ed understand that Comolli will be sugesting players to Dalglish and he will approve not the other way around. Dalglish said that he will not bring any players that are not as good as the players we have. There. Is strong interest for Mata Cissokho. And Perroti so they all have a 9 out of 10 chance of wearing. The No.s 11 20 and 14 respectivly next season don't mind what you heard. Comolli will land Hazzard. He will be desperate to prove to the owners and the fans that he has major pull in the sports world. I feel we need a holding Mid, a defender and striker in addition. Vargas will also come because it was between us and madrid and now that Madrid have Contrao he is our just watch and see. No moves for adam or dann. Caroll to be sold next season unless he shapes out. Red Robben out.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 03:08:15
i know 4 a fact all these eds are wrong, mata will sign 4 22m, dann will sign 4 8m fulfilling a life long dream and our marquee signings are perotti and lavessi- how di i know this cos i play golf with ronnie whelan and that what he is being told {Ed004's Note - Everyone is entitled to their own opinions}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 03:00:30
How long does it normally take before we start seeing some action in the transfer market, I can't remember how long it room after last season ended. will we have to wait til July to start seeing it all unfold ed?

D.H YNWA {Ed013's Note - I believe things will unfold this week}

Ed, is this based on anything or simply a gut feeling? I am excited for this week now {Ed004's Note - I think it was just a gut feeling}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 02:15:58
Hi ed, there has been rumors that Charlie Adam and James McCarthy are very likely to sign, but both these players play in the same position as Centre midfielders. So who do you think is better and who do you think is more likely to join? Or maybe both may sign?

Dan ynwa. {Ed013's Note - Both are equally likely to sign and it is hard to say who is better because mcCarthy has a lot of potential but Adam is older so at the moment adam but in the future McCarthy}

Hi eds, I see one of the recent posts was about Bojan Krkic from Barca, I believe he would be a great buy and be a great asset to have but the poster mentioned 15-20 million to get him, but isn't his buyout clause now 100 million euros?

Thanks
{Ed013's Note - He has a buy out clause between 80-100 million but if barca want to sell him im sure they will sell at a lower price.}

15-20m is wht barca need to get rossi. {Ed013's note - They need 35 million to get rossi he is highly rated in the Liga BBVA}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 01:36:02
are there any players that are in talks with liverpool ed ? {Ed013's Note - I am led to believe we have held talks with mata}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 01:35:37
Our problem positions atm are LB, CB, CM, both wings and I think another striker is needed. Who do you think will be the most likely to be signed by Liverpool for these positions? {Ed013's Note - LB- izzaguire CB- dann Wings- mata,perroti CM adam}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 01:31:27
Who do u think is more likely to come in as our lb out of vargas, clichy, enrique, izzaguire or angel i personally think enrique is not good enough have'nt seen much of izzaguire is he any good? I'd go for vargas from what i've seen good at going forward but how good is he defencivly? Great site by the way keep up the good work.... {Ed013's Note - i would go for izzaguire}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 01:30:36
wat siging do u tink liverpool will defo make ed ??? i knw that french winger is 1 marvaux but who else {Ed013's Note - Adam}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 01:28:38
wat r the chances of mccartey of wigan signing for liverpool ed ??
{Ed013's Note - I would say 7}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 01:24:04
Hopefully u are right.. In my eyes we should sign fredel, dann, clichy , Adam , marveaux , eila , mata , Aguero.
This would cost 100 mil..
Should raise 30. Mil..
70. Mil.. Total
In my eyes this is a frighting team and world class would u think nesv would spend this money and what u think

Pablo ynwa {Ed013's - It is a frightening team but the one worry in that team is augero as he may want europe. I have a feeling they will spend big maybe not 100mill but near 80 mill}

the teams looks good three things though either perotti or mata, elia or payet and maybe gervinho and not aguero but aguero is still a chance as hes up for grabs but i'd like bojan.

 

 

 

30 May 2011 01:21:21
ed plz can u reply ... wat r the chances of juan mata and downing of aston villa ? {Ed013's Note - mata is about a 5 and downing a 4}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 01:12:04
Who do you think will be axed from the squad? And are there any youth players that you think will break into the team next season?
{Ed013's Note - sterling and amoo I think will break into first team even if it is the bench. There is a number of players like cole, the greek etc that may be axed}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 01:11:04
Ed do u know of any interest in sakho aswell as dann looks an exceptional strong defender to cope in premier league also i think wingers are main priority this summer would like to see mata and adam johnson do u know of any interest from us on any of them?
{Ed013's Note - There is interest in sakho as DC is a fam. There is definite interest in dann and mata but not sure about adam johnson.}

 

 

 

30 May 2011 01:10:24
hi ed013. would just like your opinion on the £15m thats been reported as birminghams valuation of scott dann? iv not seen enough of him to be able to make a judgement on his valuation but 5-8m were the prices branded around days ago. now iv only read it in the sunday rags but can see a few teams being interested an starting an auction. for that money i wouldv thought we could get more high profile cb than scott dann. cant see many kids wantin dann on their prize lfc tops lol hope we look elsewher if thats what they want. very good player but 15m???

{Ed013's Note - I agree I would not pay more then 9 million for him but they are trying to cash in as there are a host of clubs after him}

Ok I now u must get fed up of rating our chances re players eds so I've got something slightly different to ask which I don't think has been asked before, what rating would you give for us signing a high bracket player eg Aguero, Hazard, Neyamar, Ozil etc...

Cheers

i dont believe you can be suited to a league if your good enough your good enough.one more question what would give charlie adam out of ten, id give him 3? {Ed013's Note - I would give him 6. I have a feeling that he will be in a Liverpool shirt next season but that is my opinion}

wouldnt be suprised if we go for hazard aswel as he has just came out and sed he does not no if he will be playing in the champions league with lille this year so dagleish has been given the green to to spend on him also

please please please hope these rumours are true

Eds what are the chances of Bojan from barca coming? could be a great back up with striker with him being so young and can also be used in the wings
{Ed013's Note -there is a slim chance as we have been interested in the past but it depends on the fee barca want which could be high and not worth it}

Now that everybody is settled on the McCarthy rumours and most people are looking forward to his arrival, maybe it's time for people to stop writing off players from the SPL and lower leagues, had we been blessed with KK at this time last year we would have bought McCarthy from Hamilton for 1-2million.

I know anyone can pull the wikipedia prank to generate transfer rumours, but Juan Mata has joined Liverpool according to wikipedia.
