Helo ed, so many rumours on diff football sites saying immediately sterling is sold we'l bid for marco reus. Another question I wanna ask is are we still interested in kovacic n incase we bid for reus are we still going to try 2sign benteke also?
If we can sign reus n kovacic then we are in for a great season.

{Ed002's Note - I have dealt with Kovacic and Benteke at length. The Reus situation is that Borussia Dortmund offered a significant cash sum to the player to sign a one year extension to remove the release clause that German clubs could use to force a deal for the summer. Manchester United's interest has moved on, at least for now. Chelsea stepped back from any deal in December after several discussions resulted in a significant issue becoming clear - if that goes away then it is possible something could still be done, but I very, very much doubt it. Bayern is no longer pushing for him. Real Madrid would like a deal but need to move others on first - which it looks like they will try, but it could be 2016 before they want to make a move for him. Barcelona may still look to striking a deal for January 2016 as a replacement for Pedro - but Reus has made it clear that he feels let down by them last summer. Arsenal will be interested if he is available but my expectation is he will probably remain at Dortmund next season.}

I'd be amazed if Reus considered coming to Liverpool when much bigger, richer clubs would all be lining up to take him. See Salah & Willian last season.

His price and injury record might scare other suitors off.
