Hi eds first time posting, heard rumours of an agreement of 9million for salah raising to 12 with add ons, hoping its true is this so?

also mascherano with out doubt a great addition if we signed him but what do you think chances are of that happening this window?

thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Given how Mascherano left the club, the likely hate spewed by the fans and there being no interest shown by Liverpool; probably slim.}

I no he left under a cloud but his comment after barca beat the went someway to redeeming himself and I might b wrong but a lot of the reds I no would have him back in a heartbeat. The reality is most players these days are in control and when they leave it inevitably turns nasty. Look around, van persie, Torres, nasri, Rooney etc

{Ed002's Note - Actually it is more a case of the posters spewing their hate over many present and past players. Everyday I see posts hoping that players get injured so the club will buy others and other vile things.}

Ed's what's the chance of Isco of Madrid on loan? Not getting gametime at Madrid, and would aid his development if loaned out.

Benefits all parties really. I know it may be out there but we've loaned midfielders from Madrid before, and Madrid would gain from the deal also (player playing and wages paid, plus signing fee).

{Ed002's Note - No chance. Why would they sell him so soon?}

Not sell Ed loan. Would require returning Moses to Chelsea though.

{Ed002's Note - See previous answers.}

Don't know what Real Madrid you have being watching. Isco is a first team regular and is now hitting really good form.

Hi eds, doing an excellent job as usual, back hooked for the transfer window for about the 5th year running, just watching the Valencia game here and feghouli is a quality player who we have been linked with in the past, was just wondering if he would be an option, also ever benaga a player I have admired for a long time sitting warming the bench, we could do worse than have them both imo, what u think eds?

{Ed002's Note - Feghouli will not be moving. Banega might be. Southampton and Fiorentina placed bids for Banega over the summer but they were well below the asking price. Spurs also made enquiries. Napoli, Lazio, Roma and and Inter Milan have all been approached about the player in recent weeks.}

I think Banega would be a brilliant buy.

My girlfriend is from valencia and after spending xmas there I have been told by many of her family that they would happily sell him as they all think he's rubbish

Thanks for the input guys, if they think he's rubbish they would obviously take a small fee which would suit us the way we're dealing in the transfer windows these days, if we could get him cheap he would be an excellent buy, he's not getting game time and can't build his confidence, I've watched him since he came on the scene and was playing regularly then and he's definitely a talent, commands the ball all the time and keeps it moving 1&2 touch, would add some pace to our passing in midfield. Hope we go for him, thanks.

Hi eds is cissokos loan not a loan to buy does rodgers rate him enough to buy him and another lb i'm guessing not by us looking for one still

{Ed002's Note - I don't know he terms of the loan but I don't recall it being registered as a loan to buy. If it is, I would doubt the club would be considering left backs.}

Liverpool want Alberto Monero

{Ed002's Note - I think it unlikely that Alberto Moreno will be sold in the January transfer window. The full release clause for Spanish clubs is being asked by Sevilla and that has so far put off interest from Chelsea, Cardiff, Spurs and Real Madrid. Manchester United may well be one of the clubs that has also had him looked at.}
