Just seen we're reportedly looking at Amavi from villa. Remember one of the Eds talking about out interest in the Summer. Any update or just paper talk? Appreciate your work on the site, merry Xmas.

{Ed001's Note - we kept our interest, nothing has happened yet, I don't expect it to either, but he is a player we are tracking.}

Morning Ed1,
I know it's hard to predict but do you think we'll sign a couple of squad players in January.

The reason I ask is because I can't see us paying the excess for some of the players we've been linked with (Draxler and Pulisic for example) .

Thanks Ed and Merry Xmas to you and all the other Eds and Reds.

{Ed001's Note - personally I expect nothing to happen this January. While the club are looking for players, they want ones for the long term, rather than just squad players. It is very difficult to get those in this window.}

Except the last few long term players were obtained during January window . but gone are the days.

{Ed001's Note - last few? You mean Matip and Mane? Or where you talking about Caulker?}

I think he meant Coutinho, Sturridge and even Suarez were all signed in the January window and we know how important they had all become for our club. we seem to do our best deals in the January window if history is any indicator.

{Ed001's Note - hardly indicative of anything is it 3 signings?}

I'd argue Mascherano, Arbeloa, Agger, Skrtel, Maxi cloud all be included with the above as long term players.

{Ed001's Note - if you are going to go back that long, then you could list many more that weren't signed in January. I can't believe the stupidity of this whole thread. Utter wasted time even discussing this nonsense.}

Well you writing off the january window as one where no significant signings are made is also nonesense in that case.

{Ed001's Note - where did I say that? Nowhere have I said anything of the sort, you are making up crap in your head. Why lie? I said it was difficult, when did that become writing it off?}
