Liverpool Rumours Archive May 07 2015

Where would the eds see dybala moving to? Also who would the eds realistically like to see up front next season? Are there any links to luis muriel anymore?

{Ed002's Note - (a) Not Liverpool. (b) It will depend on the money raised. Benzema or Higuain would be possible if Liverpool don't piss money away as usual - but would they want Champions League? (c) Muriel was only an option if Suarez had gotten what he wanted and left the summer before last.}

I'd love to see higuain at liverpool

07 May 2015 20:20:37
Benzema would be perfect in my opinion he's been fantastic for two seasons at Real Madrid but overshadowed by Ronaldo. Higuain I haven't seen much of since his Madrid days before an injury which he didn't seem as good when he came back afterwards although in comparison to other names being mentioned I would take him happily. Vietto would be great too if he was possible still

Wow Ed, Benzema or Higuain would be possible,

I'm not biting on that one mate lol, but would love either of those.

Origi & Ings will do us just fine I'm sure.

{Ed002's Note - Read all of the words.}

Today has just proved that you need to wake up and smell the coffee. Higuain and benzema? Get real. More like ings. I swear some of our fans are deluded, no wonder were the laughing stock

Eds,

With your knowledge of the club and you're undoubted contacts, does the committee share the fans view that our priority is a proven , top class striker.

Could you see them honestly going all out and more importantly attracting a Benzema / Martinez / Higuain with or without CL as it's been so long since we secured a player like that I've forgotten what it feels like.

Concerning that Depay, another of these fluid, off the wing , type of players is the one we seemed to have been most keen on signing when this is nowhere near our priority this summer

{Ed002's Note - It simply doesn't work like that.}

Hi eds, First time poster here. I have seen you mention that Higuain and Benzema could be possible Liverpool targets, but who out of the two would you prefer to see in a liverpool shirt? I beleive we have to target one of these two as they are proven world class strikers which is what we need to go all out for this summer.

{Ed002's Note - The issues are as I explained - (a) how much money can the club raise through sales (b) are Liverpool interested in them (c) will Liverpool throw the money away elsewhere (d) would they be interested in a club not playing Champions League football.}

Hi Ed002

You say Benzema or Higuain may be possible but I'm just wondering why you think that is so? With Benzema I'm guessing its something to do with him wanting to be the main man which he does not get at Madrid? Liverpool fans do treat their 'marquee' strikers well (suarez, torres), always have done and I can see the appeal in being the main man at Liverpool. Higuain must feel important at Napoli though right? despite serie A being a so called weaker league.

{Ed002's Note - I have explained the rationale in the post - I am not going to answer questions packed full; of clichés like "main man", "marquee strikers". They are simply footballers - no more, no less.}

Ed002 you've shot yourself in the foot with that one. Que the endless posts about higuain/benzema. I feel for you guys

eds reds so as expected, depay goes to united!!!!if i'm realistic and have said before, son, konyaplanka, milner, montoya, neto.considering where we need to strengthen, and expence no cl i think with what we have and the above plus the likes of ilori back off loan, we could do very well next season.

{Ed002's Note - Ilori is up for sale - but over-priced by the club. There is no Liverpool interest in Konoplyanka. The others perhaps.}

07 May 2015 19:37:28
Okthanks ed

07 May 2015 20:53:20
What was IIori bought for

07 May 2015 09:23:03
Hi eds, I wondered if we had shown any interest in Derlis González of FC Basel. What's the score with strikers who are we looking at? Benteke, Martinez, Mandzukic?
Thanks for all your efforts

{Ed002's Note - Benfica has enquired after buying Derlis González back. Liverpool has no interest. I have said which forwards I am aware Liverpool has looked at.}

07 May 2015 09:05:18
Gday Eds,
Just read a report of Liverpool interest in Menez, he's had a great season, any truth?
Thanks

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any interest right now from Liverpool. Menez said last summer that he would like a return to Monaco but they were not showing any interest - now they are. Certainly Inter are open to selling the player and whilst at PSG last year there was interest from a number of clubs, including Liverpool but they failed to approach the player, his agent or the club at that time.}

07 May 2015 11:06:06
Menez is at AC Milan not inter

{Ed002's Note - Thanks.}

Depay has chosen Utd . But we knew that anyway to be fair .

07 May 2015 10:14:47
This is another Lou Macari episode. In 1973 Macari was wanted by United but the club was slow in negotiations so Macari flirted with Liverpool to create a reaction. He visited Anfield as well I think. That flirting had the result that Macari wanted and United signed the player within days. The fact is that United are always going to be ahead of Liverpool in attracting players. That is one of the extremely sad facts of life.

{Ed002's Note - There were three clubs with a declared interest - one backed out. There is no "flirting". It is simply just another possible transfer - try not to make any of this stuff "special".}

07 May 2015 10:31:48
It has been known for a long time in this country that Depay wanted to join United. That has always been his first choice. The fact that the club seemed to be turning its attention to Bale has prompted Depay to remind them that he is still around and available. There is nothing 'special' about that!

{Ed002's Note - Nothing involving Bale has impacted Depay at all.}

07 May 2015 10:45:13
That is not the opinion here

{Ed002's Note - Well I am sorry to say your opinion is simply nonsense. Not everything is about Liverpool - in fact, practically nothing is.}
