Di marzio reporting we have interest in Sergio Romero. What do use think of him? Better than mignolet? What's he like?

nothing spectacular, probably not better than mingolet either but a very good back up!

He's great! Hope to see a fellow Argentinean with LFC shirt again. In Brazil WC he was thought to be a liability because of his lack of gameplay in the earlier months at Monaco but he proved all wrong and did excellent.
He was very close to joining benfica a couple days back but the transfer didn't go though in the end

Not necessarily an upgrade on Mignolet, who is younger and "better", but a VAST upgrade on Jones (disclaimer: I like Brad, but that's my opinion). He's built like a basketball player, proven too

Decent keeper but not the solution imo. Can be flappy and lack confidence at times.

I have heard we have enquired about Arda Turan for 10mil plus lucas? Any truth?

Also Suso is apparently part of the Moreno deal.

morning ed's n reds, have to say I'm ecstatic about Moreno finally been agreed. just a quick question for ed001 if he's around, I read this morning in the local rag that ilori might be going to Cardiff on loan. you heard anything of the sort? cheers

{Ed001's Note - I hadn't but I will ask around.}

I hope so - would be invaluable experience getting loaned inside the UK, experience I don't think he is ready or is going to get with us just yet

Hi ed, did you manage to find out anything regarding this? thanks for all your hard work regardless

{Ed001's Note - I believe Cardiff have someone different lined up, Morrison or someone from another Championship team, Reading if I remember correctly.}

Thank you ed, appreciated

{Ed002's Note - PSV and Bordeaux are the most likely destinations right now - Deportivo was on the cards but is not any longer.}

A local northwest news website has said that Sulley Muntari was spotted in Formby on Saturday night and it has speculated over a possible move to Liverpool.

Its hardly a reliable source (and I use term 'news website' very loosely) but I thought I would share the speculation for the enjoyment and criticism of others. :)

Really? Surprised as BR would have seen him up close against AC in preseason. He was awful.

Probably Everton's Marquee signing.

Hai Eds and Reds

Banter please

Liverpool in for a second round talks with Etto with the player wanting a 135k per week, One year contract.
Papers reports

Thoughts.

Posted yesterday I would welcome him. Not on those sort of wages though!

So he was willing to move to Ajax on 35k a week but wants 135k a week for us? Did you get this rumour from viz?

Even his agent knows that he will be lucky to get half of this, if not a third, in his age, but you can always start high and you never know, if we or Everton or someone else are desperate for a striker someone may offer him 100K a week. I would have paid him 13k rather than 135K a week (still huge salary) plus 50K for every goal plus 25K for every win achieved when he is on the pitch plus big trophy bonuses.

You have got to be kidding me. My rubbish detector is ringing

Hoping this is a joke

They would undo what has been a good summer by signing him imo. Can Ed002 confirm whether there is any interest?

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - I am aware that his representatives have spoken with Liverpool. I am not convinced it would be a good move for the club, but he brings experience and, of course, goals.}

He also brings a pension book, bus pass and meals on wheels. I'm here all week!

I'm not sure on the E'to signing tbh. I was hoping for Bony personally, but wherever E'to has played, even at Chelsea he has a 1 goal every 2 games ratio, which given the chances we'll create again this year, sometimes you just need a clinical finisher. If it was E'to and one other striker in when Borini is sold, then it would be fantastic business. Just E'to and I'm not convinced.

My spelling of Eto'o wasn't too clever either
