This may keep your pallet hydrated red fans.

Liverpool have in the past month checked out Mehmet Ekici but looked to have opted on signing Gotze ahead. Jonas Hector, Timo Horn and Kevin Volland are also being strongly targeted as Liverpool prepare for summer recruitment.

Can also confirm Skrtel will leave in the summer. I'm sure there will be more added to the list as time progresses.

Were you got this info from?

Thanks Blair.

Ekici is not very good. I would rather an injury prone gotze to be honest. Volland is someone I could get excited about. Horn, Volland and Hector would be tremendous acquisitions and be an upgrade on Moreno, Migs and Ibe.

Hope we do not go into another transition season due to too many changes.

I've heard the same about Goetze and Hector. More specifically, Liverpool have been weighing up Goetze's injury record.

Gotze and Volland? I have to say that would give us mouth watering options in attack. Coutinho, Firmino, Sturridge, Gotze, Volland, Lallana, Ings, Ibe and Origi. That is 9 players competing for a maximum of 4 spots though. I think it would be goodbye to Sturridge if this is the case. For all Lallanas haters, he is happy to fight for a place, works like a trojan, and has finally added goals and assists to his game with 5 goals and 8 assists already this season despite being in and out the side.

Sturridge on the other hand will not be impressed with having to compete for places (see his time at Chelsea for proof), is stil a massive liabilty in terms of fitness and doesn't press at all. Firmino, Coutinho, Gotze and Volland would probably be the first choice quartet. Ings, Ibe, Origi and Lallana will all happily fight for gametime. Sturridge, Benteke, Balotelli and Sinclair are all in the same category though as they seem to think they deserve to start every game and be pandered to. None of them try hard enough on the pitch. I can't see Klopp putting up with players who won't put a shift in.

Never really seen volland play, any good?

07 Apr 2016 18:05:38
Volland is a very good player.

07 Apr 2016 08:54:52
I might be mistaken but haven't the Eds said that Liverpool haven't shown any interest in gotze nor made contact with BM? Why do people continue to assume we are signing him? I don't get it.

07 Apr 2016 23:54:06
Some people just lv a name. How many heard of Xavi Alonso or Sami hypia before we bought them?

08 Apr 2016 07:50:40
The eds are not always right, they give good info but get plenty of things wrong, Some people hang on every thing they say on here.

Hmasson2-Xabi Alonso was a Spain international and had just played for Spain in the Euros, everyone who has a decent interest in football should have known who he was.

08 Apr 2016 20:29:43
Also, he was one of the revelations of that season 02/ 03 when a wildly unheralded Real Sociedad team with Nihat, Darko Kovacevic, and Oscar De Pedro (great left foot) ran Real Madrid of Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo, Raul and the galacticos all the way till the end for the La Liga title before succumbing at the tail end of the season. Alonso was NO way an unknown player.

Hey ed001, I just saw on the Arsenal page that you think that it's "more than likely" we will go after Mkhitaryan in the summer. Has there been any interest shown as of yet and would you personally like to see him join?

{Ed001's Note - are you sure you read that correctly?}

06 Apr 2016 14:42:21
Cant see it myself, I think he will more than likely end up at Arsenal.

{Ed001's Note - and I never said anywhere that he would likely end up with us.}

06 Apr 2016 15:53:40
the player himself is not a big fan of klopp, so that in itself makes it a non starter.

06 Apr 2016 16:17:35
Dags said that a certain Mr Klopp would be interested and you said more than likely ed. Have a mid read something here?

{Ed001's Note - being interested and moving for him are two different things.}

06 Apr 2016 16:52:27
Oh okay, thanks for clearing that up ed and apologies for the misunderstanding.

{Ed001's Note - teams will have interest in hundreds, but only a tiny proportion of those will ever be moved for mate. I really wouldn't get your hopes up on him, sadly.}

Mkhitaryan cost like 25mil pounds when Dortmund bought. Now will be nearer to 40mil if Dortmund sell as he is integral part of their team. No. dun think klopp will pay that price. Zielinski though. is different proposition.
