Read 3 articles today stating were in poll position to sign shaktars Douglas costa in January. Any truth eds?

Believable9 Unbelievable7

{Ed001's Note - those same sites were saying he was about to sign for Spurs just a few days ago. No one has agreed a deal for him as of yet, there is a very good chance he moves in January though, just nothing is done right now.}

Thanks for the quick replay mate, is there a chance we will make an offer? Cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it is difficult to know in January, it tends to be all a bit of a rush as clubs jump on players as soon as their availability becomes known, if they need him. Because it is such a difficult market, clubs struggle with planning for it ahead of time. Especially in years preceding a World Cup, as players out of favour, whose national team have reached the finals, suddenly force a move. Costa is one of those who is expected to do that, with the season being a bit out of sync there and him not being assured of a World Cup place. Dortmund are very interested in him too, they need a player like him and they do have some cash to spend, plus a need to invest in the squad. So it won't be that simple to buy him.}

Hi eds, thank you for all the hard work you put in to keep us all up to date, would just like to know is Jordan rossiter going to be given any form of first team experience this season? And will jack dunn be going on loan any time soon do you think?

Thank you in advance

{Ed001's Note - I would expect Rossiter to get a chance in the cup, maybe even some subs appearances if injuries hit the midfield.

Dunn has been the subject of interest, but from the wrong clubs so far, the club would like him playing nearby so he can train with us on a regular basis still. I do expect that he will finish the season out on loan, if the right one can be found, at the right level.}

Ed 001, you simply had to say it out loud didn't you? LOL Hope the ones getting their chances step up well!

Hi eds, great site.in terms off rumors and fact there alittle form the truth- but what I've herd is that we are still looking for CM LM and in jan, looking at LB/RB options for summer due to cost - but I've not herd off any ST-AM at all that are possible.now as daniel is injured and aspas is are only st on the bench who can't get a game do you think there any plans for life without suarez in the summer, and if he moves and is ther any names you come across that have some truth in it.also suso form is inproving do you see him in are plans.(brendan does seem to like him)

Believable7 Unbelievable2

{Ed001's Note - if Suarez goes, he will be replaced, if not a lot will depend on Borini with regard to strikers. So nothing is even close to being decided in that regard, the summer is a long way off.
Suso has a question mark after his name, purely because he is seen as having a long term future with us, but it is up to him to have patience and fight for his place.}

Ed001, do you believe that Suso will earn his place in the team, rather than demand it?
He comes across as a likable guy and has always spoke of the need to improve in order to gain more first team games.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I would like to think he will work for his place and give it a season or so, he does seem the type to do so. It is just that agents and the like are always in a player's ear, that is what worries me.}

Hi Eds, is there anymore rumours about Borussia Monchengladbach player Granit Xhaka, looks like a great player, would fit in LFC's play style very well, hope all is well and Merry Christmas

Believable5 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - Xhaka moved to Borussia Mönchengladbach last year although there was interest over the summer from Inter, and Lazio had two offers rejected. Roberto Martinez looked at him as Wigan Manager last year and may well still be interested now he is at Everton. I would not discount both Inter and Milan looking to him at some point. I am not aware of confirmed interest from Liverpool but there would be no chance the player would want to sit on the sidelines waiting for SG to retire as some suggest he should do.}

Thanks eds

Ed002 is agger a targey for Chelsea??

Believable1 Unbelievable27

{Ed002's Note - Sniffing Twitter again?}

No ed just because he is always moaning about not playing and we have a over load there

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - So it has what to do with Chelsea.}

Good 3 points today.

Malumbu of west brom looks decent.

Any teams interested in him eds?

Could be a clever purchase!

Onwards and upwards

Believable0 Unbelievable14

{Ed001's Note - yes there has been a few times looked at him. Pulis wanted him for Stoke, Southampton considered him prior to the arrival of Wanyama.}

Eds you obviously don't think there was anything wrong with Agger today, what's the situation? We brought in Sakho (new to the league) and Toure who although good at the start of the season for me has been poor against hull and arsenal. Skrtel has done OK no more, no less. But I still think Agger is our best defender, clearly he and Sakho can't play together (both left footed) or if they can they haven't been given a chance. Agger has said he will not push for a move, but hS had a few times where he's pulled out of the squad on match day. For me letting him go would send a message out that we are not holding on to our best players and I wouldn't be happy with a pairing of Sakho/Toure/Skrtel for the rest of the season if we were to sell in January we would have to bring in someone else, we are conceding far too easily, your thoughts.

Believable0 Unbelievable10

{Ed001's Note - he simply can't play every game, he has to be managed.}

Matty, I think Agger is a fantastically skillful player but you have described him as our best defender which suggests you have not noticed the number of times this season he has failed to mark his man or allowed him a free header . Have a look at the Norwich goal this week . Rodgers spent the previous 48 hours in the press emphasising that Agger's main job was to defend yet he still switched off when asked to defend a simple cross .

Unfortunately for Danny, the coaching staff have noticed how often this is happening which is why Sakho will gradually take over in the next few weeks . Just a personal view .

I am convinced that, even if Agger is fit for the Tottenham game, Sakho will keep his place . Sakho can defend .
