Evening Ed do you think we are looking at Cavani? Is he a realistic option? Would he be your pick or would you look elsewhere? Sorry to fire lots of questions at you but I'm just wondering what type of striker, if any, we may go after thanks

Chris in Tamworth {Ed001's Note - I believe there are issues with Cavani, price, unresolved 3rd party ownership and attitude, which would rule him out. Obviously Luuk De Jong is very much on our radar, we have looked closely at Sow in the past as well, I don't know if the interest is still there though.}

Eds, with Hulks recent comments on his uncertain future, surely we will make atleast an attempt to sign him, he's just what we need, what do you think {Ed001's Note - I don't see him as what we need. He is not a clinical finisher and that is clearly what we need right now, so no I don't expect us to splash out the huge sums necessary to get him.}


Edss what kind of attack you think we will bring in the january transfer our attack is poor if we look at man uni we can see 4 attackers like rooney chicharito berbatov and welbeck and you think we can get carlos tevez because we need another suarez in the team tevez is th right player i think and do you think we will get a wing {Ed001's Note - not a chance of Tevez and why would we want a player that just wants to leave?}

Ed I saw you mention that Honda was turned down for 8m in January. 8m! That's all! He is just the calibre of player we need to add some creativity to our midfield, do you know why we did turn him down?

Thanks mate keep up the good work with the site(s)!

maka {Ed002's Note - I was very surprised that Honda was not followed up last January. But as to the reason why, I am afraid that will need a Dear Kenny or a Dear Damien letter.}


Madness if you ask me, 8m is a HUGE bargain for such a talented player..

maka


I think Honda came out and said he doesn't want to move to Liverpool.


I doubt Honda would have turned down a move to Liverpool at the time, around then he called his time in Russia hellish, it may have something to do with him being very prone to injuries, also he apparently has a few problems with attitude and his agent Keegs Ploegsma seem like like more of a ____ than most. But as we all know there is plenty to go wrong with a transfer and no-one outside the club know just how advanced any deal may have gotten, for all we know we may have been unable to agree a contract especially with us wanting all our players on 5 year deals.
another long pointless post from...
RustyNigel:)


Have u seriously just said we need to ADD creativity to our midfield? have you seen how many chances we have created so far this season?? think about it before you type it instead of just mentioning people you want us to sign

ed when is Luuk De Jongs contract up,this summer?if so what kind of fee do you think it would take to get him.thanks... {Ed002's Note - His contract has three years to run. He will cost about £12.65M (at a guess).}


Great value.


Thats some guessing

Eds is there any truth in the rumour that spurs are going to bid 20 million for Carroll in January and do you think Carroll could be available for transfer? Dubred {Ed001's Note - not as far as I know and no I don't.}


No disrespect but I don't think we would offer £2 mill let alone £20


I don't know I think redknapp would love him! He just needs time it's a shame for big Andy that we don't actually play the style that suits him! Dubred


Can have carroll for 10mill if ya want redknapp .. from kenny d


@ dubred, wouldn't suit his style we play quick attacking football on the deck as you found out (no its not a dig btw)

Hey ed do you think there's a chance we might try for Andre Ayew, we were linked in the summer and Marseille are not having a good season at all ? {Ed001's Note - I have yet to see any reason why we would have an interest in him. He just doesn't look in any way good enough.}


Andre Ayew not good enough and Downing is...he is 10 times the player and is a brillaint player ED should watch some football {Ed001's Note - ok, yeah I am sure that is what it is, because it is not like I ever watch football *rolls eyes*. You clearly haven't been watching Ayew this season, he is not brilliant in the slightest.}

Hello Eds.
Do you think either Honda, Cavani or Soldado could make their way to LFC in the summer of 2012? Thank you for the wonderful job you've done on this site, very much appreciated! {Ed002's Note - It is really too early to suggest who will be arriving next summer and it very much depends on factors such as the Champions League and who is leaving the club. Liverpool had an opportunity to buy Honda last January for about £8M and turned the chance down. I would guess he is off the list. Cavani would be very expensive and I suspect that interest from other clubs would result in a bidding war if he were to be available. It is also not clear if there is any remaining third party ownership issue with the player. Soldado is playing for his home town club but Valencia do have some financial issues.}


We turned down Honda for 8m? Seriously, what was the club thinking?!

Ed, do you think there would be a chance of us signing Pedro? Since Barca's purchases of Fabregas and Sanchez he's been on the bench and could be looking for a way out to find first team football?

maka {Ed002's Note - I don't know that there is any interest from Liverpool so it seems unlikely. However, I would think that Pedro could be available for the right offer.}


Since Sanchez been injured and Fabregas don´t play as one of the three front men in Barca, I don´t get where you´ve come up with this about Pedro on the bench. Pedro, Messi and Villa plays most matches up front for Barca, until Sanchez are back fully fit. Then these four are in for three places, and maybe in the long run Pedro could be 4:th option for Barca.
