Two things eds
*Anyone hold an interest in Sterling? He's been outstanding recently and I'm worried a big wage could tempt him else where, particularly with PSG supposedly looking for a young winger.
*Any update on El Shaarawy's situation? With Milan looking likely to miss out on UCL could he be looking to move elsewhere?
Thanks as always!

{Ed002's Note - (a) Not that I know of. (b) Arsenal, Real Madrid and PSG would all like to strike a deal with Milan at some point but El Shaarawy is generally happy where he is and Milan have no intention of selling unless a very significant offer is made. Those quoting him not playing might want to consider his injuries. Previous interest from Monaco and Spurs remains unconfirmed and Napoli dropped out of the running over the summer when they signed Callejon, as did Manchester City when they signed Jovetic. Do not be surprised to see an offer from Dortmund, or just possibly Chelsea if they cannot get another target.}

Was wondering about Sterling a bit earlier. For me, he's probably as good already (and younger) than say Lamela, Shaqiri, and possibly Draxler, yet I don't hear much hype about him in terms of transfers. Same for Sturridge. I guess it's a good thing that people don't see some of better young players as obtainable? Or are they just not highly rated enough to be transfer targets?

Agree0 Disagree0

Sturridge has just moved, and both players seem happy at a club doing well, in the English premier league. Most young players are signed from lesser clubs (not in the case of the 3 mentioned as such) or other leagues with less competition. I do wonder about Lamela though now, as Roma are doing far better than spurs. Dealer could play at the best teams in the world, which shalke are not.

Agree0 Disagree0

Eds, are we just wasting time reading the rumours linking us with Marcelo?

Believable3 Unbelievable49

{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid would want €30M for him but would certainly be willing to do a deal with Suarez if Liverpool are interested.}

Ed02, no thanks we will keep Luis and find someone else for £30 million

Agree2 Disagree0

Eds, is Liverpool interested in Alfred Finnbogason as a back-up striker? Thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable8

{Ed002's Note - Heerenveen's coach Marco van Basten has said interest in Finnbogason is from Everton, Villareal, Napoli, AC Milan, CSKA, Hamburg, and Werder Bremen, but it is Galatasaray who want him as a replacement for Drogba and have the edge.}

Ha! Great minds and all that Noski, I tried 2 post exactly the same question today! Would make sense to me, think we had a sniff before and apparently he had a trial at Blackpool. Eds do u think he could cut it in the prem? Also plays left wing so definitely fits out needs

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - See above.}

Hi Ed, I would love to see Mateo Kovacic to join Liverpool as I think he will be perfectly fit in the system (esp his dribbling skills to go back and bring the ball forward). I just want to hear your opinion on Kovacic's ability and the chance for Liverpool getting his signature?
Thanks,

Believable11 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - A representative of Mateo Kovacic has made it clear that the player cannot perform under Walter Mazzarri and he would be ready to consider offers from certain clubs - effectively Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich or any of the major London clubs.}

31 Mar 2014 22:22:00
Thanks Ed02. Does it means Liverpool is not an option as he only wants to consider offers from selective clubs? How do you rate him? Do you think he's someone who will improve the team?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He is certainly looking to move on but any interest from Liverpool is speculative right now. Everyone and his dog is listing everyone and his dog as being of interest to Liverpool seemingly.}

Any chance in the Chileans Vidal and Alexis Sanchez? Would do just perfect

Believable3 Unbelievable10

{Ed002's Note - Vidal no. Sanchez will probably be available but Liverpool has not shown interest at this time.}

Sanchez is left sided right? and predominantly a winger? what a signing he would be, absolute beast

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Eds

Great win yesterday and i'm starting to beleive we can win this thing.

Were being linked to more Defenders again with Marcelo and Lovren doing the rounds. Surely we have enough Defenders as you have stressed recently.

Also do you know of any interest we may have in Behrami from Napoli?

Regards

Believable4 Unbelievable4

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has shown interest in Behrami in the past but I am not aware of any current interest from them.}

Behrami interest was during Benitez's time I think.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers Eds

What about Lovren and Marcelo rumours mate? All tosh I would think?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Marcelo would cost €30M but Real Madrid would be interested in a part-ex deal. Lovren would have made sense last year when he was cheap but it would mean the end for Agger or Skrtel if there is interest now (and I would not rule that out) and a bunch of money being spent.}

I've been watching quite a bit of Bundesliga at recently and just wanted to throw a name out for any of you Eds or reds to respond to.

Ricardo Rodriguez, left back from Wolfsburg. Looks very very promising. He is available? Would Liverpool be interested if he were?

Keep the faith boys, only 6 more!

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - Wolfsburg's Ricardo Rodriguez has attracted the interest of both Milan and Napoli. It is fair to say Chelsea and Manchester United took a look at the player but for now it has ended there. Sunderland enquired over the summer. I expect a move this summer.}

Cheers Ed2,

Have you seen much of him yourself or heard if he is rated highly? Would love us to be in for him.

Watching him this season he is easily better than the natural LBs we have (I'm still considering Flanno to be a converted RB however brilliantly he is playing at LB) and he is still young as well at only 21.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He is well thought of.}

He would be perfect (although it's also been brilliant to see the progression of Flanno at LB). Rodriguez has impressed more often than not this season but I seem to remember ED saying a little while ago not to hold our breath on this one. And of course there is no confirmed interest from us at this point which is a shame.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed001/002 -

Hope you guys are well. Wondering if any of you guys have heard about Jerome Boateng coming to Liverpool? I've asked around but have not received validation either way; which suggests it is nonsense.

Cheers

Believable1 Unbelievable9

{Ed002's Note - I would not think there is any chance of a move to Liverpool this summer.}

Hi eds
There's quite a few rumours on the web saying we're signing Marcelo for 25m in the summer, can't quite see why he would want to come here but maybe it'll be different for players if we ended as champions? Cheers

Believable4 Unbelievable36

Would prefer that we went for Luke shaw, Marcello not worth that much
