Hey Ed's!

I just wanted to know if you think Suso is still part of BR's plans. If so, then I don't understand why we were so keen to sign Alberto.

Thanks guys. {Ed002's Note - I would think Liverpool are looking to hang on to Suso but I suspect he will now be wanting commitments and I doubt Rodgers would be willing to make any. We will see next summer.}

Commitments as in promised playing time? {Ed002's Note - Right, at least in terms of opportunities.}

Ed 002, it will be a shame if he were to leave - I really thought this would be his breakthrough year.
On another note, how is Connor Coady doing this season - another one with the potential to break through next year.

keep up the good work by the way! {Ed002's Note - It is a breakthrough year - just not at Liverpool. You will need someone else to answer about Coady.}

Alberto mainly plays at AM. Suso plays mainly on the Right.

Would be a damn shame if Suso were allowed to move on. I think it would be a big mistake. Reminds me massively of David Silva and I think he has the potential to be better since he has more acceleration in my opinion. {Ed002's Note - It is a matter of giving him games really.}

I don't think that Rodgers or anyone in his right mind would let Suso go. Also we would have more games to play (champions or europa league).

So difficult to break through and even harder to sustain a regular place when we are pushing on. sterling is an example and Ibe is possibly better IMYHO but he is not getting a look in. Meanwhile we loan out players to get experience but this doesn't always seem to work either. Wish we could have B teams in this country

Ed002 I read the big part you done on players who could possibly move to Liverpool in January and it was grate my question is about young players going out on loan like sterling illori even Alberto (I understand a lot of players only came but are very young and also players must come in before others leave etc {Ed002's Note - My understanding is that Sterling will be available for a loan. A possible loan move to Spain might become a January option for Ilori who has shared his disappointment at the lack of opportunities at Liverpool with another player. Alberto would not likely be going anywhere.}

Any is anyone looking for a transfer to leave for good apart from suarez {Ed002's Note - Certainly Coates and Reina.}

True that good man

Players like Alberto should be given some game time when we have won games eg against Fulham last week-give him the last 20 mins to get som PL experience and a sense that he is valued.

Ed you think we could go for Mata in summer or Jan?. I mean let's be honest, he is too much quality to warm the bench, and I wouldn't mind if he doesn't track back, He just needs to score and create goals which he is deadly best.
He is the few players I love at chelsea, calm and composed Man on and off the pitch, with him and countinho, they would make any defenders look like cat and mouse, such is his talent.
If we finish in top 4, we would have a good shout to get him, I don't see chelsea winning the league, So it doesn't matter If chelsea is 2nd or 4th?
Whats your say Ed. {Ed002's Note - I would think it most unlikely. At the start of the window there was interest in Mata from Barcelona and Real Madrid and, whilst Chelsea do not wish to sell, if the player wants the move there are players from both clubs that Chelsea would consider in part exchange. Mata has said he is happy and doesn't want to leave so for now everything is fine.}

Ed002 have any teams held any interest with Xhaxa (excuse my spelling) of Basel? Looks one hell of a player and very young still? {Ed002's Note - Granit Xhaka moved to Borussia Moenchengladbach last year although there was interest over the summer from Inter and Lazio had two offers rejected. Roberto Martinez looked at him as Wigan Manager last year and may well still be interested.}
