Teixeira will be paid more at Chelsea and Chelsea are in panic mode. Rumours that half Chelsea's squad want out. Shaktar aren't going to be taking us seriously if our first offer is 15M less than their valuation if they've got Abramovich's attention as well. Until we get back into CL we won't win these races. Sign Shane Long and dump Sturrige and Benteke. we've got Caulker.

Who are you talking about?

Agree13 Disagree1

21 Jan 2016 16:51:06
I doubt any decent player will take the risk of going to Chelsea, now or in the Summer.

Almost certainly no Champions League Football, and a squad rotten to the core.

And is he going to get a game at Chelsea or sit on bench. Can't see him replacing Costa up front or Willian on the right of attack.
So if he does go there, it's for the cash alone. Not for the game.

Agree4 Disagree5

21 Jan 2016 19:05:18
We said the same of Willian when he went there, now he's a regular. Hazards not exactly setting the prem alight, and even if he is behind Costa Willian and hazard he will still get game time, you're allowed to rotate. Maybe neither of us or Chelsea will get CL this year, but they're not exactly a worse proposition than us after a bad half a season.

Lets face it if you go to play in the Ukraine its pretty likely that money is your motivating factor. Probably end up in China.

21 Jan 2016 19:35:28
Wouldn't be anything to do with English policy on work permits! No just money. And u wonder why ends get p'd off.

Gutted we missed out on Willian.

He's the only Chelsea player to keep his head high and perform consistently.

Captain quality that.

Ron, isn't it the same here? unless bbc or espn confirm.

22 Jan 2016 11:14:00
This website?

It's much more reliable than BBC or ESPN rumours IMO.

Agree5 Disagree1

22 Jan 2016 12:06:04
Come on boys, half a bad season doesn't make Chelsea a toxic team that no player will sign for- granted we may not be as interesting as an option however. I am a bit sick of Liverpool fans suggesting players only join Chelsea for money. It may have been the case back in 04 but it certainly isn't now. We win plenty of trophies, have had regular CL football (won't next season but probably will year after) and we're a London club (which seems to be a big deal for footballers) . Teixera has said for a while now that he's very interested in a move to Chelsea. Also, regarding your comment on the Ukranian league, Brazilians often move there as they struggle for work permits at a young age, When you look at some of the South Americans who have played for Shakhtar you can hardly blame them for moving to Ukraine- Fernandinho, Willian, Douglas Costa, Teixera plus many more have developed superbly and got their dream moves to some of the biggest clubs in the world because of their time in Ukraine. Just wanted to get my point across, not start an argument or anything (in case you interpret my post wrong)

Agree9 Disagree2

22 Jan 2016 12:16:34
Also, when it comes to reliability, I've found that this website (not just Liverpool but all clubs) is by far the most reliable. I'm not sure who Ed002 is or how they know what they do, but their knowledge is absolutely superb. I remember years ago when Van Der Weil was linked with Chelsea and every news outlet in the world was reporting it was a done deal, but Ed002 told us on the Chelsea rumours site that we were actually trying to sign Azpilicueta instead and he/ she was bang on! BBC actual website is reliable but the gossip column is just from newspapers so you better believe its BS haha!

Agree7 Disagree3

22 Jan 2016 12:30:05
All good points, Saim. Its nice to get a reasoned Chelsea supporter on here, we've had plenty of good Gooner banter and a couple of OK mancs, so Chelsea are certainly welcome!

London seems to be a key stumbling block, especially if we're not regularly in the CL. However, I'm hoping that Klopp will help offset that for future transfers and we may start beating you, Arsenal and Spurs (as well as the obligatory mancs, both red and blue) to the odd signing in years to come.

Agree5 Disagree0

22 Jan 2016 12:52:00
Yeah I can't help but think Klopp will be a game changer when it comes to you signing big names, particularly German based players. In fairness I'm not actually the biggest fan of London (I'm from London studying in Liverpool, the irony! ) and I actually much prefer Liverpool, although I'm not made of money like these footballers so can't experience the full London lifestyle the way they can. Cheers for your kind words Zeddicus, the Gooners seem to be everywhere haha!

Agree3 Disagree0

22 Jan 2016 23:02:10
Why would anyone go to Chelsea? For the same reason they all do: a massive wage and a great city. I think the CL thing is way over valued (by us, not by the players) .

Agree1 Disagree3

21 Jan 2016 11:13:52
if ED002 would be so kind in providing us an update in Alex teixeira if possible?
I looked on the Chelsea page search engine and I seen a post from yourself when providing transfer updates for the guys and gals over there, you said you expected a deal to be done in January can you confirm if Chelsea still interested or have they taken a step back now? if so do you know the reason why, or was it the 2 clubs simply not agreeing a fee? I understand you a busy man and don't like to give hour by hour updates but this seems to have come way out of left field if this whole lfc teixeira rumour is true. thanks ed for your time and patience.

Believable3 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - Shakhtar's Alex Teixeira has accepted an offer to join Chelsea in January, but the move remains subject to (a) Shakhtar deciding to sell - and their owner is blocking any move at this time; (b) the clubs agreeing a fee and terms - but they have been negotiating - but the price was raised considerably, and (c) the player being able to pass a medical this month, . Juventus and and PSG have a declared interest and Spurs have watched him recently but it is unlikely an eventual move to Chelsea can be disrupted - but I suspect the summer is far more likely now. I am travelling at the moment so I am not sure what is happening with Liverpool.}

21 Jan 2016 13:02:48
Cheers ed002, your reply was a big help.

Agree5 Disagree3

{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}

21 Jan 2016 14:54:53
He (Alex) fits the profile of the players we are after, young with a hamstring injury.

Agree22 Disagree2

21 Jan 2016 16:10:55
he's not that young, Roy.

Agree7 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 16:54:05
And he doesn't have a hamstring injury, they have confirmed that rumour was false.

Agree2 Disagree1

22 Jan 2016 06:19:44
Read Ed002s reply!
He ain't coming to Liverpool if the deal to go to Chelsea is tied up.

Good old Daily Star! reliable as ever in writing rubbish.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - the player accepted an agreement, but the club didn't, read what Ed002 said again.}

22 Jan 2016 19:10:42
Fair point. Still can't help thinking this is unlikely to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 09:11:36
Alex Teixeira of Shakhtar eds? Omg is it true were in talks?

Believable7 Unbelievable2

{Ed001's Note - only thing I know about him is that Chelsea tried to sign him, that is my sum total of knowledge regarding him.}

21 Jan 2016 10:12:52
The rumours are unusually specific. Naming Ayre as part of a contingent out at LA. Unusual to mention names and places. There is the Florid a tornament on so we could be watching anyone. Has been a quality player this year.

Agree1 Disagree2

21 Jan 2016 10:15:35
Ed001 if it's true that Ayre is out in Orlando florida, it's probably another Donald duck he's going to sign isn't it.

Agree4 Disagree4

21 Jan 2016 10:17:55
Do you think he will end up at Chelsea ed, if we did get him a few midfielders would have to go we're overrun with em.

Agree2 Disagree2

21 Jan 2016 10:37:24
Preparing life without coutinho?

Agree6 Disagree9

21 Jan 2016 10:46:23
Just heard he has been left out of the squad for their upcoming game. Lots of rumours re 24.6m rising to 29m has been accepted. Didn't he use to play with Coutinho at Vasco too?

Agree9 Disagree1

21 Jan 2016 11:56:17
Could make sense if the club have already decided to move Sturridge on to West Ham, in this window. LFC is being too quiet about Sturridge given all the questions being asked. Texeira is not a full time striker, but his goals record the past season and a half is impressive. He could be turned into a striker, and would fit Klopp's high press, fast counter-attack style.

Agree4 Disagree4

21 Jan 2016 12:49:35
Teixeira pulled a hamstring hours after Ayre got on the plane, no joke apparently.

Agree4 Disagree3

21 Jan 2016 12:30:17
Rumour seems to be growing as the day goes on, now being reported on the BBC website as a standalone story, this is usually when I start to take notice!

Agree6 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 12:55:56
Hope this is true. rated this player for a long time.

Agree9 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 13:03:47
This is no Joke! but apparently Texeira has pulled his Hamstring and is injured, it must have happened when Ian Ayre chased him around the street looking for him to sign a contract but hopefully the deal will still be signed.

Agree5 Disagree4

21 Jan 2016 15:00:05
Hopefully even with Ayre, the thought of working under Klopp can still make him come. If true that is, can Liverpool afford that amount right now before moving players on?

Agree3 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 15:44:23
'Sky Sources' have finally jumped on the bandwagon and are now reporting the story, so it must have legs somewhere! Everything crossed for me that they can pull this one off! ynwa.

{Ed002's Note - So here is a little update (from Brazil): Whilst Shakhtar's Alex Teixeira has accepted an offer to join Chelsea in January the move remains subject to (a) Shakhtar deciding to sell - and their owner is blocking any move at this time; (b) the clubs agreeing a fee and terms – whilst they have been negotiating the price was raised considerably (and Chelsea won’t be held to random), and (c) the player being able to pass a medical this month. He has had scan of his right thigh due at some point today after he pulled up in training on Tuesday morning. Five bids (two formal submissions and three verbal) from four clubs have been made to Shakhtar since November and each has been rejected as Mr Akhmetov does not want to sell the player at this time. The clubs are Chelsea, Juventus, PSG and I understand Liverpool. Spurs have also watched him in recent months. His agent sees an eventual move will happen but he doesn’t think anything will happen in January unless someone were to offer his club the very high asking price they have placed on him. And I suspect the summer is far more likely now.}

21 Jan 2016 18:15:18
Here the play by play: We bid. Low. Media hype revs up supporters start believe.
He's been spotted at John Lennon airport, announcement imminent.

We've signed Shane Long on a six year deal for a fee of £32 million pounds, more to follow.

All the best.

Agree10 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 18:50:53
Coutiniho has him all over his Facebook page all 26 Goals this season pics from when they were young, just saying, doesn't mean anything. Pray Long was the smoke screen please god.

Chelsea back in with a €41 offer for Alex Teixeira.
We need to up our offer to get him.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed023's Note - We've offered a lot more that €41 - I've offered €75 for my local side}

22 Jan 2016 19:23:45
I want to point out that Mikey Mouse and Donald Duck make over 12 billion in profit every quarter. That's 48 billion profit a year. Maybe time to rethink the Mikey Mouse references.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 09:07:03
Apparently we are discussing a deal for Alex Teixeira with the club ready to make a offer.

Believable10 Unbelievable1

21 Jan 2016 09:37:23
I heard we have offered 32million euro's but they want nearer 50 million. I think he will go to Chelsea in the Summer. What a player though.

Agree7 Disagree5

21 Jan 2016 09:39:28
A lot going round on the Internet €32m has been offered apparently but it's similar sites that had us nailed on for Pato.

Agree2 Disagree2

21 Jan 2016 09:40:30
We are definitely trying to do a deal for Texeria. Liverpool executives are currently out at the Florida cup where Shaktar are playing. We are looking in the region of £25m but Shaktar want nearer to £40m. Other premier league teams also have executives out there trying to make a deal happen.

Agree5 Disagree1

21 Jan 2016 09:44:17
Thank God we're signing another attacking midfielder, we haven't got any!

Agree9 Disagree4

21 Jan 2016 09:44:58
Confirmed by Paul Joyce from the Express. Ian Ayre has flown out to the USA to discuss a deal for Teixeira! The lad has 22 goals and 3 assists in 15 games.

Under the radar, similar to Firmino in the summer. Much better from the club.

Agree8 Disagree2

21 Jan 2016 10:10:58
from trying to loan a prem experienced striker to this guy? i doubt it.

Agree1 Disagree2

21 Jan 2016 10:19:35
The lad has been on the wish list since Klopp came mate. He has tracked him since he bought Mikhy a few years ago. Chelsea have tracked him also. I can see heartbreak lads with Chelsea doing a willian again. But to be fair Chelsea have been negotiating for a long while. Keep fingers crossed cause the lads top draw.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 10:22:46
If we do get him it'll mean that we've spent another whopping bundle of cash to sink the club into massive debt. I almost hope we don't, but it is a very exciting sign that we're even trying to get such a player. I expect he'll end up at Chelsea in the end though, because that way he can crash on the couch of Akhmetov's gaff at One Hyde Park.

Agree1 Disagree2

21 Jan 2016 10:34:01
Would make sense to me - can play striker but also as a pacy goalscoring winger/ wide attacking mid. He's more Sanchez than Milner.

Agree4 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 10:34:52
Bloody lot of money again if true! Can't see us paying anywhere near €50 million, has to be just speculation. Maybe ayre is just in Florida and that's what they presumed ;)

Agree0 Disagree4

21 Jan 2016 10:43:18
Red Dawn he plays anywhere in the forward line. Used to be wide left before Mkhitaryan was sold to Dortmund.

Agree2 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 10:55:34
Everyone just ripping this unsubstantiated rumour off The Express website and/ or This Is Anfield website then? I'm more of a cynic. Until he's holding an LFC shirt in a non descript flat in town flanked by Ayre then I'm not getting my hopes up. Would be nice though.

Agree4 Disagree2

21 Jan 2016 10:58:12
Being reported the deal has been agreed £24.5m rising to £29m. Got to admit I know little about him but his goalscoring record is good for an attacking midfielder, albeit in lesser leagues. Possibly an indication Coutinho is going to leave? or will he play upfront?

Agree4 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 11:07:14
Red Dawn just let Klopp get on with his job hey if it's true. That's the sort of player who can make a difference.

Moaning for moanings sake. It ain't even funny at a banter level anymore.

In fact let's all set a new standard of being positive and supporting the team. Other fans are laughing at the way we behave.

We have been divided and conquered over recent years by press and other sources. Now let's get it sorted.

YNWA.

I don't think Ayre would fly all the way out to Florida if he wasn't confident of a deal being done.

21 Jan 2016 11:36:24
Is it legal to play two Teixeiras? Lol.

Agree6 Disagree1

21 Jan 2016 12:08:07
Apparently he was left out of the game yesterday but it could be just a coincidence.

Agree0 Disagree1

21 Jan 2016 10:01:29
Ed002 anything on it mate please?

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed002's Note - He was left out of the game because of injury. Any move at this time of the year is going to be very difficult and the price is a lot higher than people realise.}

21 Jan 2016 12:53:16
"Apparently he was left out of the game yesterday but it could be just a coincidence. "

Hamstring? If so, I'm extremely confident we will get him!

Agree4 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 12:16:18
Lol @ Red Dawn. Another attacking midfielder and another Brazilian. 😎

Think we'll be outbid though.,

Agree2 Disagree1

21 Jan 2016 12:46:29
Reported where? I just read he pulled a hamstring in training just after we bid for him. Which explains why he's out of the squad. Our curse strikes again!

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 12:46:36
Ed002 has been very quiet on this topic. Until he confirms it then i will take it as BS.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 12:56:19
Just read he was left out because he pulled a hamstring. it's official then, he's obviously signed for us!

Agree3 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 13:38:28
Irish what's that on yr nose?

Agree1 Disagree1

21 Jan 2016 14:24:13
I think it's fair to say this isn't bullsh*t.

I can see the price being a lot higher than 24m though especially in a winter window. The kid obviously has a lot of interest and the club certainly aren't going to be desperate for cash given the fact that the owner is super-duper rich and able to wait.

Agree2 Disagree0

21 Jan 2016 15:05:48
