Ed02 if i can ask you about reports linking us with bertrand again- yiu were very strong on him when he left chelsea- anything in the rumours? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I think he would be a great choice Stevie but I am not aware of interest being shown by Liverpool at this time. He would however be a far better solution at this level compared to untried youngsters.}

Thanks ed - agreed with you when he was available last time agree with you again now. Any new links ed? Thanks again.

{Ed002's Note - There is an update in respect of Luan following a representative of Luan having said that the player has refused to sign a new contract in order to be able to force a move to England where he will get the wages he deserves - which is rather ironic as an offer from China at the end of 2015 failed due to significant wage demands from the player's representatives - who I would advise clubs to be very wary of, particularly as the player has complex thir party ownership with his agents and various others (not identified) owning nearly 35% of the player's economic rights. If Liverpool now want to push ahead with a transfer that needs to be addressed first as they have only recently been trying to prove no wrong-doing in the transfer or another player and will not want to be embroiled in any potential further issues.

How come 3rd party ownership is acceptble in some leagues but not others? Are FIFA trying to get a consistent approach?

They have done what they can to outlaw it but in some countries clubs are dependent on third party ownership to survive - and they have no sources of funds to buy the player rights themselves.}
