Good day Eds. I heard some rumors that Liverpool is keen on signing Manuel Iturra of Malaga on the free in the summer. Is there any genuine interest or is this just lazy journalism? Tried the search function but no results. TIA

-Red American {Ed002's Note - If that is the case the club can get in now and have him sign a pre-contract.}

Good evening eds
I saw the other day someone mention the possibility of Valdes joining Bayern Munich, does that mean Manuel Neuer would be available in the summer

PM {Ed002's Note - If Valdes moves to Bayern yes. However, he is the second choice for Barcelona right now and their first choice will likely not be available.}


Only a fool would have Valdes over Neuer, Neuer is world class whilst Valdes was always prone to errors and only won what he did because of their attack


Cheers for the reply, seems this summer we could see a lot of goalkeepers moving around {Ed002's Note - Yes. Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Atletico MAdrid, BArcelon and Bayern all look like they could be in business for GKs.}


Is Neuer likely to leave Bayern Ed? Sounds a strange one to me, what with Neuer being as good as he is {Ed002's Note - We will see in the summer, but there will likely be interest from Barcelona.}


Ed is there fist choice courtois or de gea or neither and why are bayer looking to replace neuer is it just that pep wants valdes or performance related thanks {Ed002's Note - Courtois. Valdes has said he is leaving - Bayern has their budget from hell to spend.}


How big of a budget are we talking eds? like 100m+? thanks {Ed002's Note - Much bigger is available - €278M - but I am sure it will not all be spent.}


Neuer better than Valdes


Just a question ed, how has barren suddenly come into so much money? {Ed002's Note - Bayern has not suddenly come in to so much money. They are a well run club who are planning on restructuring for the future next season. They will have a new manager and will change their squad across two windows.}


Ed. There are a few things about this I don't understand. 1) Why would Bayern want a new keeper? Neuer is easily one of the best in the world. 2) If they are going to look for one why wouldn't they look in the league for one of the young Germans, Ter Stergen etc as it seems they like young German players.

~Fresh {Ed002's Note - Folks move on - stuff changes. Otherwise we would not have any trranser rumours.}

Ed who is most likely to leave Liverpool in the summer? {Ed002's Note - "Most likely" is not easy to answer, particularly at this time with the summer a long way off. As we have said before, Carroll, Skrtel, Coates, Reina will probably move on. There will be interest in Suarez - but it is all a long way off.}

Erikson will be made available in the Summer. How much interest is there from LFC? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Spurs, Inter and AC Milan have shown some level of interest in Eriksen in the past year or so. He has already rejected both Manchester City and Chelsea but AC Milan and Spurs remain the most interested clubs and Manchester City may well return for him again. Back in July the Milan Press Office were convinced of interest from Manchester United and they have let it be known that they expected a bid to be made by for Eriksen. Expect both Milan clubs and Roma to press if a bid is made by Manchester United and I remain in agreement with them that there is every chance of that happening. The player remains adament that he will stay in Amsterdam for18 more months before moving to Spain but would likely jump at the chance of a move to Real Madrid or Barcelona if the opportunity arises. However, Ajax will not let him run down his contract so a move beckons. The player will see out the rest of the season at Ajax and see if he can attract attention from Spain.}


I heard some talk not too long ago that he favors, unfortunately a UTD or a Bayern move.

FowlerGod.

I thought Eriksen was man united bound. If they get him and Strootman. Can we say they've won next years title already. {Ed002's Note - Back in July the Milan Press Office were convinced of interest from Manchester United and they have let it be known that they expected a bid to be made by for Eriksen.

What are the chances of ter Stegen joining in the summer eds?
Challo LFC {Ed002's Note - Search engine broken?}


10 Feb 2013 15:53:09
He's too young but would like to see him in future. But realisticly we going to need experience if Reina goes. Otherwise our team going to be a bunch of kids that won't be able to fight for top 4 position for few years.

He is young but not without experience he is a german international and an established first choice keeper for Borussia Mönchengladbach if he is wanted it would be better to move now if we wait for the future he could be out of our price range


He's having a poor season and keepers like Trapp are at the moment better,
Again is Trapp too young at 22.
Schmiecel at 26 is experienced and excellent.

Hello Eds,
I don't know if this has been answered before but are Reina and Skrtel Definite outs in the summer or is there a chance they could stay?

I think it would be better for the Sqaud if both of them Stay while we replace Jones with a Quality young GK.
sell Coates and get a fullback who can play both LB and RB while moving both Kelly and Wisdom to CB.
Get a decent back-up to Lucas from France as there are some real gems there.
and Finally Get Ince and one of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang/ Heung Min son/ Carlos Vela to replace Downing, Carroll and Assaidi.
This way we keep the core of our Squad while making it more competing for CL Qualification.

{Ed002's Note - All have been dealt with at length - try the search function.}


10 Feb 2013 13:28:39
I can see Ince coming as long no one else bids for him. We might get scared of mounting bids from other clubs. Aubmeyang (soz for bad spelling if so) didn't we pass on him?

Ed002 do you see kevin strootman as a possible summer signing for Liverpool? {Ed002's Note - No. There is very strong interest from elsewhere.}


So just because there's interest elsewhere he won't come to us?

{Ed002's Note - Manchester United and Liverpool took a look at Kevin Strootman early last season (when Dalglish was in charge) but tentative enquiries were met by a reluctance to sell so soon after his arriving. His performances have attracted further interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, Valencia, AC Milan, Schalke 04 and Hamburg. However, for now I expect him to move to Manchester United or Milan in the summer.

As an aside, I have banned you and deleted the rest of your post.}


What club ed? {Ed002's Note - Manchester United and AC Milan.}

If mancini continues to slate joe hart after every game do you see him moving on at the end of the season? {Ed002's Note - You should ask this on the Manchester City page.}


10 Feb 2013 11:43:11
Swap Hart for Reina? I wouldn't say no but think BR and FSG would say no though.


If they want to give us him go ahead world class. What I don't get mancini blames hart for mistakes so he's not made mistakes?


It is likely Mancini will go in the summer, if not before the weekend, so all bets with City players are off.

Hey eds what's up marcus from Trinidad here. Looking forward to fluid attacking football vs west brom and 3 points. I agree with you that Reina has been a great liabilty just to think he was great for us psychologically against our opponents. I remember him in 08/09 our first game standard liege he saves a penalty and in the return leg saves us at least 4 times terrific stops to keep us in the game. He gave our back line that edge, comfortability knowing that his presence was there. Great player for Liverpool fc so sad to see the drop in form. maybe the xavi valero guy was really working wonders aye. eds I know tomas kalas is on loan to vitesse from Chelsea his performances have been quite good strong fast cb what are your thoughts on him as a player.
Thanks eds Marcus from tdad enjoying the carnival! {Ed002's Note - Kalas is impressing those responsible for overseeing Chelsea's players who are on loan in the Netherlands and Germany again. He will return to the club in the summer, with most other loan signings, to be assessed by the new manager and the coaching staff.}


10 Feb 2013 09:45:27
Forgive me for being dopey but when in hell did Chelsea sign Kalas? Bit gutted about that. {Ed002's Note - In 2010.)


10 Feb 2013 10:04:46
Cheers ed 002 for reply mate. In 2010 I was at too many raves and mind bit scrambled back then :-D Gaz {Ed002's Note - I can understand how all that ick-ick nonsense music scrambled the brains of a couple of generations. Did these "raves" happen outside of Liverpool at all?}


10 Feb 2013 10:26:58
Ed 002, yeah I live in south east.


Hi Ed 002! Have you let slip out that you think Benitez will be out at Chelsea this summer? ;-) ra1969 {Ed002's Note - There is no secret he will be gone in the summer.}


 

 

10 Feb 2013 00:01:33
Hi edds with man city almost losing the title to man u. Do our think they will sheikh things up sorry.

Do you think they go after any Liverpool players

And I think Joe hart is overrated {Ed001's Note - no idea, I wouldn't even like to bet on who their manager is come the summer, let alone who they will be buying.}
