Evening Ed002, I always thought Aquilani would only end up in Italy, as despite his obvious ability and despite the fact that people want him to stay he still (as far as I am aware) doesn't want to play in England. If you have information that he is definitely going then that's good enough for me. I can't honestly believe that some still question your info. I think people just want you to be wrong because you aren't a Liverpool fan. That's just small mindedness. Thanks for all your good work.

Chris in Tamworth {Ed002's Note - You are ver sweet Chris, thanks.}

Ed002 cheers for the financial info, interesting stuff. How much is champions league football on average worth (appreciate you get more if you do well)?

Realistic red. {Ed002's Note - Last years figures in Euro: Teams competing in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season can expect to receive a minimum amount of 7.2m euros according to the revenue distribution system in place for the 2010/11 campaign.
Each of the 32 clubs taking part in the UEFA Champions League group stage that kicks off on Tuesday will receive a participation bonus of 3.9m euros , plus a match bonus of 550,000 euros per group game played. On top of that, the following performance bonuses will be paid: 800,000 euros for every win and 400,000euros for every draw in the group stage.
There are additional payments made to the teams that progress in the competition with 3m euros the reward for advancing to the round of 16, 3.3m euros for reaching the quarter-finals and 4.2m euros for a semi-final place. The winners of the final will collect a further 9meuros , with 5.6m euros going to the runners-up.
By way of example, any side winning all six group games would earn 15m euros – comprising 12m euros for their group stage performance plus 3m euros for getting to the last 16.
In addition, participating clubs will be entitled to a share of the market pool based on the commercial value of their domestic television market, the number of UEFA Champions League matches they play this season and their final position in the domestic league table last term. They will also keep their UEFA Champions League gate receipts.

Each of the 20 teams that contested the play-offs has received 2.1m euros.

I hope this helps.}

hi eds please post on rumours page. have said there has yet to be a bid from liverpool for aly cissoko.they have said if there is a acceptable bid he can come.do you think when some of the fringe players leave soon there could be a bid to go in.thanks mate {Ed009's Note - I am not so sure that a bid will be made right now, but if we sell sufficient 'dead wood', then that could change. I believe that centre back is of a higher priority to the board.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 22:34:33
hi ed's just wanted to know if were actually in for this marco bueno kid or is it just fabricated by the press? sounds like a serious talent for the future if we really are interested {Ed009's Note - I believe that he will be invited to trial for the club with the view to making a transfer afterward.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 22:27:04
liverpool to sign the mexican teen on trail with us and jeffran from barca as well

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 22:19:51
ed wat r the chances of these joining
Mata, Dann, Cahill, Enrique, Roux, Park Chu Young {Ed009's Note - Mata is very unlikely at this time - Downing was the primary left midfield target and Kenny got his man. I am not so sure that we will be signing a striker, especially if N'Gog doesn't leave, and for that reason I discount those two players. If one is brought in, they are realistic options. Dann and Enrique are possibly the most likely players at this time, with maybe Cahill and - I believe still - Cissokho following just behind. Personally I believe we will likely pursue a signing of Dann.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 21:37:35
Give a rating out of 10 on which players you think will leave?
Aquaman
Meireles
Cole
Kyrgiakos {Ed009's Note - Aquilani is almost certain to go. Meireles is possible, as is Cole. I doubt we will find a buyer for Kyriagkos and he will probably stay for a year, before leaving on a free. I do not want to do ratings out of ten, they are somewhat ludicrous. As an aside: a please wouldn't go amiss.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 21:11:21
ed do u think there would be any chance we might go for afellay from barca now that theyve signed sanchez from italy? fits our profile of young wit potential and i doubt he'd cost that much??keep up the goog work cracking good site {Ed009's Note - Affelay is readily available this window for a fair price. He is one of those players who we have always been linked with without showing any sustained interest in him. I have always believed he would be a logical addition to any Fabregas transfer, and I suppose that remains a possibility.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 20:56:36
liverpool are waiting in the wings but expect

leighton baines
adam johnson
gary cahill

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 20:40:53
EDs can you post this on rumours page pease............liverpool have made an opening bid of 5mil for 11million rated payet {Ed009's Note - Payet has moved to Lille.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 20:32:20
Spurs will sign Johnson if he leaves city and they are the only English club in for mata so far. I think Dann will be Liverpools only other signing the kids will be given a chance.

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 20:25:08
Alright ED. What are the chances of signing Natxo monreal from Osasuna? He's good at defending which I'm hearing kk would look for. How much do you think he'd cost? And do you think he'd be a good buy?

Thanx in advance {Ed009's Note - I think the player would be relatively cheap. It is only a shame because I do not know of any interest right now. In honesty it has all gone a little quiet, after all we are trying to shift players first.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 20:12:17
Hi eds and fellow red

nothing to get too excited about but just seen in local news here in g vle sweden that liverpool are taking a 14 yr old kid william sherrif on trial from gefle if, will find out more about him and post back

swedish adam

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 19:20:42
Can't seem to get posted on here. Odd, because I read through loads of very poor posts before realising that mine has not made the cut once again. Perhaps it's because I don't run with the rumour herds - I've been trying to say for weeks that both Aquilani and Cole (and possibly Mereiles) are staying and that we're finally trying to build a competitive squad. The definition of "deadwood" on here is often quite myopic. Aquilani has not had the chance to be a 'flop' - and Cole has not suddenly become a bad player after his poor start under the previous manager and owners. Room will be made in the squad by loaning out Spearing and Shelvey, who despite punching above their weight for most of last season, flagged towards the end and showed that they are not quite ready. Other players like Ngog, Jovanovic, Degen, Poulsen, El Zhar, etc., we are just not getting offers for. Having said that, nobody on this site - not even the eds - are truly in the 'know.' Leave the assessment of 'deadwood' to the people that are at the training sessions. {Ed009's Note - make sure you check all the sites, not just rumours.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 18:40:46
Hi Ed, just wondering what the chance for Adam Johnson to Liverpool, maybe a "Marquee" signing :)


FyrenK {Ed009's Note - Johnson is unwanted by City and doesn't want to be there. He would, I am sure, be happy to play for Liverpool. Seemingly a perfect fit, but it is important to remember the club's restrictive policy of refusing to sell to anyone that could be construed as a rival. The only thing that should give you hope is Mancini. He has gained power in his position since he secure the FA Cup and a Champions League berth and, provided they sign a replacement winger, there is a chance he will become available. Not much, but perhaps an outside chance.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 18:26:11
ed002 do u expect the aquilani deal to go through as a loan or transfer??tanx {Ed009's Note - we believe it will be a permanent transfer.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 18:23:14
Hey ed whats up with DEFOUR?
Everyone gone quiet over him?

PITSILFC {Ed009's Note - He signed a new contract with Liege.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 18:15:13
With Aquaman possibly now staying has set alarm bells ringing for me as a rumour was out recently that Gerrard was not completely fit and still had a problem with his groin.So is he staying because of the Gerrard situation or is it his wages.
I hope Gerrard is fit but he has been very quiet about it all so i just wonder.
Do you EDS know anything?
Great site by the way {Ed009's Note - I still believe Aquilani will be leaving. His agent is obligated to say he is staying until the moment he leaves, to protect in the event of any hitches.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 18:12:46
Ed,
Do you know any info about Lfc been linked to Marcell Jansen?

Seems like a good solution for Lfc leftback. He's tall, got power n pace..plus also can play as left winger..

Value at 8m. What u think about this player?

dtg'LFC {Ed009's Note - He is more of an attacking left back, and I believe that Kenny will value the ability to defend above anything else. Other than, there is a chance.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 18:10:25
Ed why have we seemingly lost interest in Mata? Also any news on Jesus Navas? {Ed009's Note - Simple answer? Downing was the clubs number one target for the left wing and Kenny managed to buy him. I doubt Navas will be joining.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 18:06:04
Any chance of Jesus Navas signing ed? Are we interested and can you give me an update on the situation?

Thanks mate. {Ed009's Note - apart from the one undoubtedly reliable post on this site earlier today, I have heard of no interest in the player. His home sickness is well documented - albeit it has apparently been 'cured' - and he would cost a lot of money. The defence is a far higher priority at this moment.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 18:05:03
Quick q eds,

Was it definitely eden hazard that comolli was interested in as I hear his younger brother thorgen seems to have potential too.

Rewflo {Ed009's Note - Comolli asked to be kept abreast of the situation a few months ago, but Hazard will not be joining Liverpool this summer.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 18:03:18
1 Jul 2011 16:53:23 so happy that aquman is staying now :) he can now prove to us what he can dom guess your source may not have been told the full extent of not have been told the full extent of the matter {Ed002's Note - Yeah, I know nothing. Sorry.}

------

Ill agree with ed here, aquas only reason for not leaving was wages as fiorentina were unwilling to even match his current wages nevermind increase them. I think shooting down an ed when they have explained all day that wages were a stumbling block is a little unfair.

{Ed001's Note - if Everton are prepared to sell Baines, why did they reject a cash plus offers deal from City?}

--------------------------

I am told they wanted a straight cash deal in the region of 20m... They didnt want the players on offer.

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 17:30:25
Aquilani's agent has said he is defo staying in merseyside. I can't see him going to Everton so looks like he's staying. I for one hope its true.


Aquilani spent last season on
loan at Juventus and although
the Bianconeri decided against
signing him on a permanent
deal, he was still expected to
depart Anfield.
Fiorentina had been
mentioned as a likely
destination for the Italy
international, but Aquilani's
agent has now firmly stated
that the player's future
remains on Merseyside.
"Aquilani will certainly stay at
Liverpool, " Franco Zavaglia
told Radio Mana Mana.
"Alberto has got over his ankle
problem, he's back in the
international set-up and has
the characteristics needed to
do well in the Premier League.
"He's in pre-season training
with Liverpool and has played
in all of the team's summer
tour games so far."

21 Jul 2011 16:41:29
Ed i know it is very unlikely but do you think there is any chance we might try and by hazard if we sell aquilani cole and meireles? He can play as an attacking mid and rw and we know that commoli is a huge admirer of hazard {Ed002's Note - You want to "hazard" a guess at my answer to this?}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 16:40:42
Jesus Navas Will Be Our Marquee Signing

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 16:32:57
Eds yous keep saying aquilani will be leaving but his agent keeps reitterating that he will stay is he just saying this or what is the real story

D690 {Ed002's Note - There is no point discussing it. I will just let the abuse flood over me. But think about this, if you were an agent like Zavaglia giving an interview about a player who is still contracted to Liverpool, would you not decide which words to use very carefully. Valcareggi does not perhaps need to be so careful in his emails and interviews. If it would help, I'll just say I am wrong and we can end all of the grief now.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 16:33:05
Ed002- i fully understand that, but iv heard we can release 350-450 a week selling our unused fringe players, and aguero would gazump shirt sales for all of those combined along with aiding our hunt for.silverware and therefore competition earnings, surely that makes it viable?

Anfield Andy {Ed001's Note - except that he also wants a large cut of the image rights, which reduces that value to people. Hence him still being on the market now.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 16:27:09
Adam Johnson(85%) and Diego Godin(99%).
Johnson will be signed once City sign Aguero, Godin could sign by the weekend.

Ok as we all know, DC and FSG are big fans of stats. DC has been using OPTA stats to search for Premier League players, which is a preference for both KD and DC for this season. We want experienced players with no time needed for bedding in. However one thing that we are particularly we are looking at for attacking players is chances created.

Charlie Adam - 64
Jordan Henderson - 78
Stewart Downing - 78
Ashley Young - 68
Charles N'zogbia - 63
Leighton Baines - 63
Joey Barton - 72

All of the above players were/are targets. Barton and Young arent anymore. Young as he has gone to United and Barton cause we got Henderson - Barton and Henderson are similar players, and both were targetted to be used for Andy Carroll.

We had a offer rejected for Baines, I am told we will be going back for him again. Everton are prepared to sell as they need money to improve the squad.

Charles N'zogbia, we are very keen on him, if we can get a few players out, we will place a bid for him. DC has contacted Whelan to tell him this, and thats what is holding up the deal to Villa. Whelan is hoping he can spark a bidding war in doing this. Player is up for the move.

Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing have signed already.

Also expect a move for Juan Mata if 2 of Alberto Aquilani, Raul Meireles and Joe Cole are moved on.

Thanks,

RM {Ed001's Note - if Everton are prepared to sell Baines, why did they reject a cash plus offers deal from City?}

aquamans agent jus came out an said "he is staying at liverpool" He's in pre-season training with Liverpool and has played in all of the team's summer tour games so far."

21 Jul 2011 16:11:30
Quote from Aquilani's agent speaking this afternoon.

The agent of Alberto Aquilani has categorically ruled out a move to Fiorentina. "He's staying at Liverpool."

Reports have been emerging that a switch to Florence could be on the cards, with the player even willing to accept a pay cut.

However, speaking with Radio Mana Mana on Thursday, Franco Zavaglia has dismissed such speculation.

"Aquilani will certainly stay at Liverpool, " the representative underlined.

"Alberto has got over his ankle problem, he's back in the international set-up and has the characteristics needed to do well in the Premier League.

"He's in pre-season training with Liverpool and has played in all of the team's summer tour games so far."

Liverpool signed the playmaker from Roma two years ago before sending him on loan to Juventus last summer.

The Old Lady decided not to take up their option to sign him outright.

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 16:02:21
Hi ed just a quick question after some players are sold and the wage bill is down will there be a limit on what Kenny can spend like is we sell for example if by next week Aquilani is sold for 9m Jovanavic leaves on a free and Spearing is loaned out will Kenny only be allowed to spend te 9m or will he be able to bid for the likes of Mata or Vargas {Ed002's Note - I really don't expect a bid to be made for Mata. The manager set out his number one target as Downing and not Mata and has managed to buy the player. Try and not think so much about money.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 15:59:05
RE: Taarabt move to PSG

understands, however, that Liverpool could yet attempt to gate-crash proceedings and lure the Morocco international to Anfield.

Can't see it myself when you consider what a loose-cannon he is. Good player though.

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 15:58:08
Capdevila has signed for Benfica...we can put to bed those rumours....thank god...

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 15:56:55
Enrique would be a risk and might not be a successful signing.

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 15:52:23
Ed, do you know if any discussions have taken place with Everton regarding Leighton Baines? and would the player be interested in coming to us? {Ed002's Note - None that I am aware of.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 15:52:17
21 Jul 2011 15:48:54
Ed is there any truth in the Alvaro Pereira rumours?

Cheers {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware of at this time - but I am trying to find out.}

Ta, would be a good signing if true what price would we be looking at.

21 Jul 2011 15:32:57
Hi Ed what are the chances of signing Park Chu Young from Monaco and who do you think we will sign for CB and LB if anybody.

Cheers {Ed002's Note - Chances remain for Park Chu Young - but he has offers on the table from Schalke and Lille. There has been pleanty of discussion on the other positions and I don't see any point in speculating at this juncture.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 15:31:19
Who are you Ed? And how do you know things that Aqualani deal more or less through? {Ed002's Note - So you want sources before you can believe me? I have been explaining for quite a while that this was about to happen. There should be nothing unexpected if it does go through.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 15:25:16
Hi ed just wanted to know the situation with aquilani and how much we may get for him? And the situation with alvaro periera? Haven't posted in awhile as been busy. Thanks again. {Ed002's Note - Please read the other posts.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 15:16:18
Brett Kitching (Utility Player) from St. Johns. swap deal speculated by Mike Myers involving Flanagan going in the opposite direction on a one year loan deal. Expected to be completed within the next 4 working days. What's your opinion ed? {Ed002's Note - Nothing from me.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 15:12:52
ed do you rate alvaro pereira from Porto. What about aquaman.
st
YNWA {Ed002's Note - Alvaro Pereira is a good player. Aquilani is dealt with elsewhere.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 15:01:24
eds, its getting to the point where im feeling insulted by the bulls it that gets posted on here and expecting some of us to believe this tosh. i wish you could just not post obvious b.s. great site and you seem to know what your talking about. its spoiling the site

THANKS,

From SSN

Reports in Portugal claim Liverpool's hunt for a new left-back could see them move for Porto's Alvaro Pereira.

Any news on this?

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 14:46:57
Hi Eds

In relation to Aquilani, are Fiorentina the club in question?

Shame really, but I suppose best outcome for everyone when taking everything into consideration.

Ray {Ed002's Note - Yes. I expect it to go through next week sometime.}

From ESPNSoccernet:
Sources close to the deal' have told A Bola that Liverpool are ready to pay the 20 million release clause to sign Uruguay international Alvaro Pereira from Porto. He can play at left back or left midfield.

Not sure where this comes from or who the player is to be honest, seems like if this happens someone with a reasonable value is on the way out.

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 14:25:39
Sorry Ed, I'm a bit lost. You say a permanent deal has been struck for Alberto Aqulani. Can you please tell us more details Please ed, I don't want Aqulani to go so please fill me in Thank you very much {Ed002's Note - I did not say that. I said that I understand that the deal offered is a permanent deal.}

According to serbain media, Jovanovic didn't agree with Anderlecht and has left Belgium.

Ed002 do you think we will offload the deadwood you listed ha many thanks....lfc. {Ed002's Note - You will be pleased to know that Aquilani is all but done I am told.}

Is this a loan move or a permanent deal for Aquilani? {Ed002's Note - We think it is permanent.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 14:12:12
Hello eds, Got any news about players goin out. Who are the players that are close to depart. And what is degen doin at Liverpool when his contract was expired as told by ED001.
Thanks {Ed002's Note - Both matters are addressed by earlier answers that somehow you missed when reading all of the posts.}

Any truth in the spearing to wolves move ed's ?.I know he did a good job end of last season but can't see him gettin much of a look in this season even thou kk likes him.

Rigg10 {Ed002's Note - Wolves are interested in taking the player on loan.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 13:36:35
I would just like to confirm that Jay Spearing is NOT being sold There is a possibility of a loan, but he will not be sold.

Thanks, James.

Just seen on SSN we're in for Taarabt but can't guarantee him first team football

Any truth in this?

Jonared {Ed002's Note - I very much doubt it - he seems destined for PSG.}

Hi eds SSN claiming were intrested in adel taarabt but his advisors speaking to PSG as we wont gaurantee 1st team football.
Waste of money if you ask me he'd soon be found out in the premiership
Also hearing that wolves in for Ayala aswell as Spearing.

Speaking to a newcastle player during close season. Told me Carrol was a bargin for us. Henderson we were seen coming and he ain't the player for liverpool and from what this player said Enrique is defs going to Liverpool and surprised that the sale hasn't gone through yet. Interesting

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 12:10:13
Heard a rumour from a friend of Roy evans' son that Liverpool will be lodging a formal bid for Nolan Roux in the next couple of days, with Ngog heading back to France

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 12:02:40
Hi Eds.

Unai Emery admits that Valencia may lose Juan Mata this summer.

"The chance that Mata will leave the club exists. We wish that he stays, and Mata has also expressed a desire to be in Valencia, but on the other hand, we can not stop a player who wants to move for economic reasons or to a larger club."

"So if we get a high bid from a club - an offer which is good for us and for him, we have to let him go."

Any chance that Liverpool will sign him this summer or winter?

{Ed002's Note - A slim chance but as I have explained before Liverpool's number one target was Downing and that deal has been completed.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 11:57:36
i feel we still need two wingers one is great but if downing gets injured we are back to square one, i read we are still interested in nzogbia, what happened to the ryad boudebouz from sochaux rumours he looked a proper box of tricks, we need another winger as well as a cb and lb, bob paisleys skids

Ed001, how many more signings do you expect? And who do we classify as the "deadwood"? {Ed002's Note - I am afraid that Ed001 is not around today so like it or not you are stuck with me giving and answer. I would think two or three more players is likely. I personally would not classify any of the Liverpool players as "deadwood" - and I rather think the club have enough respect for the players not to refer to them in that way as well. It seems to be some of the fans who lack this respect and see the fringe players as "deadwood". The usual suspects of El Zhar, Degen, Insua, Jovanovic and possibly Pacheco may well be considered surplus to requirements. I am not so sure what the club plan for Ayala.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 10:55:31
{Ed002's Note - There may be one or two players to come in after fringe players have been moved on. From a strategic standpoint Liverpool need to know where they stand over players who will be leaving, what wages will be saved, what money will be coming in and what the staff costs will be for next season. The club carries a fair number of fringe players that are not going to be a loss to the squad from a footballing perspective but will unburden the finances. This includes the likes of El Zhar who is costing more than £30k per week and Degen who is on a very high wage but still not 100% fit. I am told this morning that Fiorentina that there preference is now a loan for Aquilani but I think they may be persuaded otherwise - but in either case wages are an issue. The costs associated with releasing any of the players from their contracts - could prove to be very high, so the owners are being responsible in their financial dealings.}

Hi ed i was wondering why the club haven't told the likes of Poulsen, ElZahr, Degen, Kyrgiakos & other usual Dead Wood that they have no future at the club?

If the club had told them the they will be searching for clubs. Now the agent of this Poulsen guy come out & said his future lies with LFC & he is ready to fight for his place. Would this agent guy say such a thing if he was told he has no future at LFC. Konchesky realized he has no future & Left, greedy Jovanovic knows it & is searching for a club but still has no intention of lowering his wages.

I assume we are two or three players away for a title winning quality team & if all these dead wood leaves we can bring those one, two or three players. But dead wood is stuck to the club, a burden on LFC , ruins of a disastrous Era. I am sure we will qualify for Champions League but with these dead wood remaining at the club we won't win the title this year.

IF WE MISS OUT ON CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OR FAILS IN WINNING A TITLE I WILL BLAME NON OTHER THAN ALL THESE DEADWOOD WHICH HAS BECOME A BURDEN ON LFC & IT'S FUTURE.

{Ed002's Note - Unfortunately it is not quite as simple as you think to move players on as the players are under contract with Liverpool. However, the club will no doubt be trying to figure out how to best deal with moving the fringe players on. Options (in order of preference) are:

(a) Sell them (e.g. Mavinga, Konchesky) and if there is money owed to the player for signing on fees, then pay up;
(b) Let them leave on a free (e.g Jovanovic) - it means paying up any outstanding signing on fee and bonuses;
(c) Agree to release them from their contract for a negotiated settlement figure - perhaps all of any outstanding signing on fee and bonuses but half of the wages that would be due for the remainder of the contract;
(d) Release them from their contract - paying up all outstanding signing on fees, bonuses and wages that would be due for the remainder of the contract.}

Sorry mate but I don't agree, if earning over £50,000 a week isn't enough to fulfill anybodies dreams then I don't know what is.Most people work for over 40 years in the same job and all they have to show for it is their wages.

I didn't realise you were a frequenter of this site mr tevez.

Perhaps if your dreams are success rather than money then your dreams are not fulfilled with the promise of riches.

By your rationale anybody in any job earning over 50k is living the dream. I earn over this amount, I am a tax accountant. Am I living the dream? I certainly didn't dream of it growing up.

Not everbody measures success by the size of their wallet. Good luck in finding yourself a new club carlos

expect me to- I don't know how you expect me to answer a question phrased like "why are you so sure". I have explained since day one that Aquilan was unhappy and wanted to play in Italy. He has told everyone who will listen the same. The club have allowed his agent to talk to possiblye buyers. He is close to striking a dea buyers. He is close to striking a dea with Fiorentina, all that needs with Fiorentina, all that needs resolving is the wages. I have said these things over and over again - what else do you want?}
-------

Fiorentina are hoping a deal similar to robinhos move from city to milan, where city continued to pay a portion of his wages after sale to milan.

I don't believe it will happen though, more likely is aquas agent will angle for bonuses in place of a higher basic wage..

Can't be 100% sure of this but I believe the agreed price is 7.5m

Rewflo {Ed002's Note - Actually I am told this morning that Fiorentia has now proposed a loan to buy as another option.}

Ed's SSN saying we are interested in pavone, but surely at 29 he would be too old? do you know of any interest? {Ed002's Note - I am guessing it is no more than an agent talking up his player. I really don't see it happening.}

Ed
Want to know something from you if possible.my sources tell me we have money to spend on transfers but owners have been spooked by wage bill visa a vis the quality that squad have.thus statements that need to sell before buy from club.

They also say kenny has few surprises left.
But I am not sure I think we may be out of money and now buys will purely depend on sales.
I to be honest am little worried and know it will be unfair to expect great things from present squad.even kenny being such a great manager.

Please your thoughts ed.

Regards
Red indian {Ed002's Note - There may be one or two players to come in after fringe players have been moved on. From a strategic standpoint Liverpool need to know where they stand over players who will be leaving, what wasges will be saved, what money will be coming in and what the staff costs will be for next season. The club carries a fair number of fringe players that are not going to be a loss to the squad from a footballing perspective but will unburden the finances. This includes the likes of El Zhar who is costing more than £30k per week and Degen who is on a very high wage but still not 100% fit. I am told this morning that Fiorentina that there preference is now a loan for Aquilani but I think they may be persuaded otherwise - but in either case wages are an issue. The costs associated with releasing any of the players from their contracts - could prove to be very high, so the owners are being responsible in their financial dealings.}

Ed i was wondering if we sell Aquaman for about 12 million (hopefully) do you think Kenny will then but an offer in for Cissokho since we havent had a decent left back since Riise? {Ed002's Note - Aquilani will not raise £12M. I don't see a bid being made for Cissokho right now.}

Ed's why are you so sure of Aqua leaving? I really think he might stay and give it another go. {Ed002's Note - I don't know how you expect me to answer a question phrased like Wwhy are you so sure". I have explained since day one that Aquilani was unhappy and wanted to play in Italy. He has told everyone who will listen the same. The club have allowed his agent to talk to possiblye buyers.

Liverpool are reportedly tracking Hamburg's Marcell Jansen as Kenny Dalglish looks to bring in a new first choice left back. The 25 year old former Bayern Munich man had previously been a target of former Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson and is considered one of the best players in his position in the Bundesliga and is a regular in Joachim L w's national team set-up.

£10mil apparently is the asking price

Is this a runner for left back, lads?

Various sources are saying that Liverpool are reportedly tracking Hamburg's Marcell Jansen as Kenny Dalglish looks to bring in a new first choice left back. The Merseyside club have been linked with moves for a number of prospective new signings and are now considering a move to bring the German international to Anfield.

The 25 year old former Bayern Munich man had previously been a target of former Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson and is considered one of the best players in his position in the Bundesliga and is a regular in Joachim L w's national team set-up.
Could be a good buy strong , athletic and attack minded but also strong in the tackle.
Not sure how much he would cost.What do you think EDS. {Ed002's Note - Perhaps.}

alex chamberlaine 12 mil what a bargain ed he fits bill and can play on both wings were buying young so y aint we in for him he will go to arsenal and 2 years down the line he, ll be worth 15 to 20 mil id give them 12 mill plus loan the spearing and cody {Ed002's Note - It is a lot of money for an unproven teenager but it is possible that there is interest from Liverpool as well as Arsenal of course.}

Hey Eds, Valencia's president said they are willing to listen for Mata. I know Arsenal are possibly the front runners to land him, since they can offer him CL.

However out of the top three, Arsenal is the one who is going to fall out of the three. Will the new philosophy and KK persuasion be enough to sign Mata? {Ed002's Note - Spurs and Arsenal have already held discussions. Liverpool bought their number one target in Downing. It remains very unlikely but just possible.}

all these left-backs rumors - Enrique, Cissokho, Jansen, Clichy are just smokescreens. the real target is Baines of Everton. If you look at the signings we have so far, Downing, Henderson and Adam, they are all top contributors in terms of goals and assists. Remember Commoli always talk about statistics. And Baines was one of the top performers in the EPL last season. KK will sign Baines, and Insua will be the backup.

Eds is their any chance that these player plus cash deal aquilani for enrique are true?


Red Pinero {Ed002's Note - No. Aquilani's problem is not Liverpool, it is not playinging in Italy. As such, there is no sense in moving to Newcastle.}

 

 

 

21 Jul 2011 03:03:48
Both Lukaku and Aguero are getting away. Man City have entered talks with Athletico Madrid regarding Aguero, and Chelsea have made a formal bid for Lukaku.

can someone round up the players leaving.

Who is out of door? who has left. {Ed002's Note - Mavinga has gone and Jovanovic is pretty close to leaving. Aquilani's deal rests on an issue over his wages.}

 

 

 

20 Jul 2011 23:48:08
Ed was just wondering if we are geting a fee for insua if he leaves if so how much ?

D690 {Ed002's Note - If there is a fee it will not be too much.}
