Most of you know I rarely post rumours, but today i was shown a photograph of 5 people in a restaurant in liverpool. Nothing special but it included Stevie G, Skyrtl and Doctor Zaf, plus two other gents. I arrived home to find Doctor Zaf sacked.very strange and no idea why Skyrtl was there, didn't realise he was a big mate of Gerard. No rumour, just interesting. maybe?

Google liverpool birthday Tel and its top of page. If it is from that.

Google Skrtel Birthday and look at the piccies. If they wearing the same clothes then it's the same event. At his bash Skrtel looks like he's wearing a dark crew neck sweater with a white shirt underneath. Matching earrings handbag and stillettos, with an in season permed shaved head.

No, it wasnt from that marco, it was in a small cafe/ restaurant, not very glitzy, and they wernt dressed up. Photo was from someone who spotted them today sitting around a fairly plane looking table somewhere. Definitely today, because when it arrived he brought picture over to show his pal with gerard. No idea what purpose of meeting was, prob nothing to be fair, it was just news so thought i would share.

It's a new indian restaurant in mount pleasant
Apparently Gerrard is a big fan and some of the other players go there quite often

Goodbye drinks/meal for the Doctor?

Skrtel goes anywhere. I've seen him sitting outside Costa coffee in speke retail a few times. Next stop the lobster pot with Paco Ayesteran shocker

Telegraph reckon Suso to AC Milan not happening - perhaps there is a chance for him yet at Anfield.

08 Jan 2015 21:26:58
Its a done deal mate .

I think the bridges between Liverpool and Suso are pretty much burned. One of the Eds said he was trying to leave last season too.

I don't blame the guy to be honest. Especially when the likes of Balotelli who has done absolutely nothing come in and get given a spot in the starting 11 or bench.

Xerdan Shaquiri has joined Internazionale on loan.
Next. . .!!

08 Jan 2015 15:28:57

Hi Ed

Im sorry to ask but seens as everyone else is at it. Do we have any interest in Milner or Pjanic?

{Ed002's Note - Manchester City are looking for James Milner to agree a new contract. I am not aware of any interest from Liverpool right now but would expect that the club would choke on his wage demands.

PSG and Manchester City remain keen on the signing of Miralem Pjanic but both are constrained by UEFA sanctions. Liverpool and Spurs are aware that he could be available at the right price - but that would be very high and the player has no interest in either club. Manchester United also made an enquiry before appointing a new manager, but it went nowhere. Dortmund seem to have dropped their interest. It would take a very significant bid for him to move in January and I don't see that happening.}

Gday Eds,
If we do sell Lucas do you think we'll bring in a replacement?
If so, are there any hints who that might be?
Personally I think that'd be far more important than signing flappy Ochoa who is in no way better than Mignolet.

Thanks!

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool don't need a replacement for Leiva with so many midfield players on the books. Right now his move is very much in the balance in any case.}

09 Jan 2015 09:14:04
So many? 3 for 2 positions? Henderson, Can & Gerrard, with Stevie unable to play two games per week, doesn't seem a lot to me. I'm not including Allen because he's not good enough to be a 1st team Liverpool player and never will be imo.

{Ed002's Note - You want to get down to Anfield and daub some abuse on the walls about Allen and all of the other trash you want out. Let them know how you feel, perhaps a small fire.}

09 Jan 2015 11:11:13
Well that's a rather glib remark. Why would I do that? I'm not hating on him nor do I any other player. I've nothing against Allen, simply don't see him as good enough to be a 1st team Liverpool midfielder, I'd love him to prove me wrong but his stats since joining the club don't lie. He has never consistently provided enough in attack or defence. You think differently?

{Ed002's Note - No I just think it appalling that you don't even count him as a first team player - but that is the modern day Liverpool fan for you.}

09 Jan 2015 11:17:57
Oh & the only player I want out in January is Balotelli and I've never posted anything unjustly criticizing any player. Maybe you're mixing me up with sb else.

{Ed002's Note - So you also want to keep Allen who you don't see as good enough for Liverpool? Stranger and stranger.}

09 Jan 2015 12:59:45
Sigh. I was talking about the quality of our squad and having minimum 4 midfielders for 2 positions in our first team. Obviously he is in our 1st team squad and will not be leaving in January unlike Lucas perhaps. I've been a Liverpool fan for 3 decades so your 'modern day fan' comment is meaningless.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool is overloaded with players already. Can plus a couple of youngsters in Rossiter and Williams play in that position as well.}

A very good point and I would personally love to see players from the youth set-up getting a chance. Tbh I think I've somehow forgotten about them since Rodgers seems to have stopped considering them. He's quickly losing all the credit earned from giving the youth it's chance at first.
