Hi ED002, have arsenal moved for Salah?

Believable7 Unbelievable20

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal has indeed made an enquiry for Salah.}

Do you happen to know which team he would prefer to move to if he has the choice? I know you can't read his mind, I just wonder if he's said anything about either team.

Agree0 Disagree4

{Ed002's Note - The player says Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea are the three clubs he would choose to move to - I would doubt his wish will be granted.}

Merry Xmas Eds!

Who's in the driving seat for him as all the reports are saying we are nailed on to sign him?

Would be a good addition in my view if we do sign him, i'm stil hopeful.

Agree1 Disagree2

{Ed002's Note - I have explained what I know.}

Salahs agent has told Basel that he wants the move to Liverpool and is 100% commited.

Agree5 Disagree0

Anything could change aye ChiefScout till he signs the contract.

Agree0 Disagree0

I take nothing for granted anymore.
Until he signs and we have him on our books nothing is a done deal.
Who would have thought last summer we would be in this position with Suarez?
We were nailed on to sign players in the summer for them to end up at another club due to a "change of mind"
99% certain of going to LFC means that there is a 1% chance he will end up some where else.
Lets just hold fire and trust that he see's the vision we have here because I can see the good times coming back to our great club.
We are progressing in the right direction and BR is the right man for the job. Who ever comes in I am sure it will be for the good of the team.

Hey eds, question about Rakitic. A lot have teams have been linked with him. My question isn't if we are or not, but if you think they would pay the rumored 40 million for him. Surely he isn't worth that?

Believable15 Unbelievable4

{Ed001's Note - I very much doubt he would cost that much, they are short of money, desperately short. The whole of Seville is basically bankrupt mate.}

Thanks

Agree0 Disagree0

Its just sad that clubs like Sevilla have to sell their players due to bankruptcy. But business as usual in England.

just a thought any further news on Pastore of PSG not heard anything for a while I thought he was nailed on at one point any progress.

Believable2 Unbelievable14

He wasn't nailed-on at any point.

Looks like we are in pole position for the signature of Sallah also Aspas and LFC negotiating with Real Betis regarding a January loan deal till the summer with an option to buy.

Seems like Swansea are also after aspas, eds is he regarded as a failure and will be shipped out?

Seems an odd decision to sell him without giving him a chance, even if we sell for what we paid we have probably have been paying 50grand + a week so that's a million near enough

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Swansea, Levante and Real Betis are interested in taking the player on loan.}

He has not settled in the country.
Swansea are interested and it may be worth a consideration because they have players of the same nationality but it is Real Betis that are in pole position to get the loan deal.

Hi eds, have you heard anything about Wellington Nem of Fluminense at all? I went to a game that he played in a while back and have been trying to keep track of him since. He looks like the real deal and might not cost as much as other already established players that we are looking at.
Cheers,
RedRed

Believable1 Unbelievable17

{Ed002's Note - He left Fluminense in the summer and moved to Ukraine for a significant fee. He has struggled with a bad injury but efforts are being made to force a move back to Brazil with Corinthians. He won't be going anywhere near Liverpool.}

Eds,

Salah for 7 million pounds? I thought he would cost a little more than that. I know you don't like to talk money, but I thought he would have cost us at least 12 million? If we do get him in for only 7, I think that would be great business. Intelligent player who would fit into our system perfectly.

Believable10 Unbelievable8

{Ed002's Note - There is really no point in discussing the money due to the confusion it will cause. Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool, Dortmund, Spurs and Fiorentina have shown an interest in Mohamed Salah, and Basel will look to sell in January. The player says Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea are the three clubs he would consider - would doubt his wish would be granted.}
