Hi eds,

If the rumours of PSG interest in Sturridge have any truth whatsoever, Liverpool would be foolish not to accept a bid in excess of £30m wouldn't they?

While I'm a big fan of Sturridge who is unplayable on his day, he is unreliable with injuries and I think his attitude is a problem aswell, thinks more about himself than the team in general.

Finally, eds do you know of any interest in sturridge from PSG?

Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of PSG making any approach to Liverpool for Sturridge. The only vague interest they seem to have is in Firmino and they spoke to his agent about and not to the club - I have explained that before. PSG has identified a number of strikers they will consider with Ibrahimovich and, probably, Cavani departing. Some would only be of interest if their clubs made them available (e.g. Ronaldo and Neymar) but they are actively working on possible solutions involving a number of others. Unless something has changed, Sturridge is not on that list.}

Hope we don't loose firmino, he looks real quality.

I know eds will be tired about another striker question, but have we looked at Alexandre Lacazette since Klopp took over? We certainly been wasteful in front of goal this year. Also eds, know anything about Sturridge wanting out or club looking to sell him? There is smoke there since january, and noticed when defending of late, it's Firmino doing all the running as a striker and Sturridge is tucked on a right wing, not exactly tracking back too much. Seems to me like he's being protected and put in a shop window.

{Ed002's Note - No. Lacazette remains of interest to Atletico Madrid whilst interest from Newcastle and Inter (who would struggle to fund a move). Whilst Guy Hillion has continued to extol his virtues but there is no support from the folks in London for a bid at this time so prior interest of Chelsea has gone. West Ham enquired after his availability and are certainly interested as long as his wage demands are not too high as they will have the money for transfers but are very much constrained over wages. They have made it clear that they will not over pay on the transfer but Lyon will look for at least €10M more for a sale to an English side as they know what they can expect from elsewhere. He is not first or second choise for PSG but they could potentially turn to him. Juventus and Spurs have also recently had him watched but Juventus have taken it no further and Spurs have their sights set on someone else. Lyon are difficult to negotiate with and they may well see an Gallic shrug in response to any initial bids. Lacazette wants English money and Champions League.

I am not aware of Sturridge wishing to leave nor of Liverpool looking to sell him.}

Just wondered what the eds thought on lacazette only seen him play a cpl of times. Surprised we have not been linked with him yet, guess we will as the transfer window gets closer.

Agree0 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - Apart from the St Et game in November his season did not really get going until about six weeks ago - but right now he doing very well.}

Good to hear Sturridge has no interest in leaving.

When he's fit, and playing, we're a far better team.

Gotta love Bild. Linking us with most German based players. Now its Kostic again and Volland. The latter i hope is true.

{Ed002's Note - Actually Southampton and Bayer Leverkusen have been scouting Hoffenheim's Kevin Volland and will look to making offers should Hoffenheim be relegated.}

25 Mar 2016 12:35:47
So he goes to saints then us the following year for triple the price as per usual then ed.

Watching Volland play reminds me of Rickie Lambert and Shane Long play, hope Klopp passes on him.

Ed02. Love your work and I know this should go to the European pages but you seem most active here so I thought I'd take a stab and try to get lucky. Aaron Mooy has been the standout for the Australian team and I was wondering if any premier league clubs are interested? Thanks for all you do even if you don't reply.

Believable0 Unbelievable6

{Ed002's Note - This came up before. Melbourne's Aaron Mooy has been subject of declared interest from Al-Nassr, Watford and Feyenoord with Schalke 04 also known to have been watching him. The club has no interest in selling at this time.}

25 Mar 2016 12:08:39
I can tell you that if a decent European club like Schalke came in with a reasonable offer, Melb City would accept and Mooy would be off in a heartbeat.

Watched a few games in the Aussie league last year, I can tell you it is very poor.

And Fencey, it's still lightyears ahead of where it was 12 years ago at the league's inception. It will improve, but the grassroots coaching needs to be so much better. The sport has the highest participation rate amongst youth in the country, there is an abundance of parks and other facilities suitable for the game, yet the overall level of skill and technique is still far behind the rest of the world. Perhaps it is that actual lack of confined space - unlike South America and Europe - that to some degree inhibits the development of skill on the ball.

Is it true we have held talks with River Plate with regard to a summer transfer for Lucas Alario?

No reply EDs OR have you not heard anything?

Agree0 Disagree3

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any discussions with River Plate about Alario but it would mean Liverpool having to pay way over the odds in transfer fee and wages in order for him to qualify for a work permit.}

Looks pretty similar to vietto who I believe we were interested in.
