Hi Eds,
Do we still hold an interest in Delph from villa? We were strongly linked last summer.

great site and thanks for all your hard work in keeping it ticking along.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - No, he signed a new contract.}

And what If he signed a new contract!??Liverpool can't sign a player under contract?!!! Pff

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He would have been out of contract at the end of the season - know he would cost a lot of money. Seems the vegetables are out in force again today.}

Hi just want to say great work with the website!Is there any truth in a Lucas for Kovacic swap deal? I know a little about Kovacic and that he is an exciting talent.I'd love to see him, emre, phillipe and lallana in a diamond in the middle!

{Ed002's Note - Even though he has very recently extended his contract, Inter are willing to sell Kovacic and have spoken with Arsenal, Liverpool and Hertha Berlin. Nikky Vuskan has said there has not been any approach to him from any club at this time and that whilst Inter may be willing to sell the player, Kovacic wants to stay at the club. Barcelona are plotting a deal that will see Alex Song and/or Pedro Rodrigues move to Inter on loan until January and then will be part of a permanent deal for Kovacic.}

Sorry to be a pain but does ed002 or any other eds or indeed fans know if papadopolous (schalke cb) contract is running out this summer?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - Kyriakos Papadopoulos' contract runs another year after this. There was previous interest in Kyriakos Papadopoulos from Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Dortmund but all of these clubs walked away due to cost or injury and they all purchased other centre backs. Recent interest is from Atletico and at Bayer Leverkusen who have him on loan. I don't understand why the Liverpool fans are asking about him again (you are not the first) - perhaps this is something in a newspaper or on Twitter, but I am not aware of interest at this time - particularly from a club that is overrun with centre backs. The club already has well respected young centre backs like Lloyd Jones and Paez who cannot get in to the side in addition to first team centre backs Kolo Touré, Lovren, Sakho, Skrtel and loaned out Coates and Ilori. If Rodgers just wants padding for the squad, it strikes me as an odd choice - but with Kyriakos Papadopoulos you do get a lot of padding for your money. I would be a little surprised if Liverpool were looking at him again, but not totally surprised if Rodgers were to simply spend more money for what appears to be the sake of it. Again, and I don't like talking about "injury history", but Papadopoulos has missed something like 22 games already this season and missed pretty much the whole season a couple of years ago. Again, right now he is out for the next three months. Rightly or wrongly, that would concern a lot of clubs and this has led Atletico to drop their interest. Bayer Leverkusen would like to make the deal permanent but are not going to overspend on the player.}

Cheers ed002, i know you don't like answering questions about random players but i just happen to come accross his name on the lfc website saying we in pole position to sign him on a non transfer fee basis. But yeah i agree unless we have a mass clear out then we shouldn't be signing any more center backs.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Well the LFC website is wrong - his contract doesn't run out until 2016.}

Hi eds, I was reading through where interest lies in players and the players which you have explained are in the positions Rodgers spoke about in the press. I feel apart from Lucas the club doesn't have a top defensive midfielder like Chelsea's Matic, Can for me looks like he would strive more going forward. Khedira is the only one on the list which you mentioned does the club hold interest in any other more defensive minded central players who could be available come the summer.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - Not really, the club has Lucas and Emre Can. Samper has been mentioned - I don't know but it is hard to see how he would be ready for the first team at Liverpool. Perhaps next year.}

Seems weird we wouldn't at least be thinking about someone. I like Can but he's young and also shown he can make mistakes, while Lucas is great but arguably a bit injury prone and lacks in terms of passing range (why else even try play Gerard DM?)

I'd love to see an Illara, Carvalho etc. to challenge/back up Lucas and see Can moved further forward.

I see the Benteke rmours are rife again.Supposedly 30M pus Lambert. Have Ed´s heard anything on this ?

Believable0 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - No, sorry.}

26 Apr 2015 13:13:48
Why would Liverpool be in for Benteke? A strong tall striker doesn't really fit into Brendan's model.

Agree0 Disagree0
