Ed, as you said, we've been closely watching Lyon and Porto.

The players being watched are Hulk, Guarin, Bastos and Toulalan
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Sorry but the players being watched are Lloris, Lovren, Pjanic, Fernando and Rodriguez

LOL I knew if i mentioned liverpool signing freddy guarin his name would start popping up.
Hes really started playing well now at porto, lets get him signed

Liverpool are currently scouting Palermo trio Javier Pastore, Abel Hernandez and Edinson Cavani (napoli on loan) All young potential world class players who all could be available in the summer for the right price.

All this talk about Young coming to to us from Villa but worrying news that he bought a big house in London last week. Doesn't look like the actions of a man planning to move to the North West on contract for 4 - 5 years! My source, one of the Villa corporate sponsors.
Can anyone confirm the house purchase? {Ed001's Note - I did say his preference is for a return to the south, maybe Spurs have firmed up their interest? Or it could just be an investment buy anyway?}

Hi All,

Things can change very quickly in football but i do know that Adam and Young are very close to signing.

Benzema was also very close in January, he is still very much a target again, things can change but he is 1 of the Marquee signings that they want in the summer.

I also know for a fact that Kenny wants four top quality strikers at the club.

There are also other targets that we are looking at but i have no idea at the moment who they are.

I think it will be a very busy summer with good times ahead for all reds.

Again i may be wrong because things change, so please do not shoot me down in flames if these do not happen.

Cheers

Macca

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Thanks Macca for the update

in my opinion we will have as macca said top striker come in which is probably a reckognised one maybe in this list; benzema(french first choice), bojan(spanish future), hulk(powerhouse/ speed-i hope its him we get), lavezzi(suarez type player just more stocky and agressive would be a really good look with him in the team with suarez), negredo(good striker to have at our disposal/ verycomposed), maybe cavani(suarez already has a good relationship with him but don't think he is a target) and the other i hope is going to be kuyt, he is already a liverpool player so no cost just a renewed contract, a good striker to have around and he can play with anyone as he is a player who can easily adapt the style of his striking partner.

{Ed002's Note - Payet is likely to go to Paris Saint Germain - he really wants out of St-Etienne. If Liverpool can overcome the embarrassment of Comolli going back on his word that he would not raid Saint Etienne for their players, Dimitri Payet would be a realistic and available buy in the summer.}

For Ed002. Why would it be embarrassing for Liverpool to buy Payet in the summer? I understand that Comolli gave his word that he wouldn't raid St. Etienne but surely he meant that he wouldn't unsettle players that are settled at the club. You said yourself that the player wants out so in my opinion we are perfectly entitled to make an approach for the him. Why would we rule ourselves out of being able to sign a player that could possibly make a big impact at the club. Does Comolli's gentlemans agreement mean that we can't approach to buy any of St Etiennes players until he leaves LFC.

SUAREDZ

{Ed002's Note - It is not an embarrassment to buy Payet - it is an embarrassment to go back your word. I don't suppose that he will have any concerns about going back this summer if they want to - and a couple of players could well be targets. St-Et are more than willing to sell Payet so it would not be an issue. English clubs will have to pay a premium so it could satisfy everyone except PSG.}

Macca mate you say that young is close to signing have we agreed a fee with villa and are just waiting for him to sign cheers mate

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 15:51:09
Do you have any idea if Benzema would want to move here, and would Real sell? Also if you were to make a guess, how many signings do you think we might make? Cheers mate.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
By all accounts he has been told good things about the club by former Reds and was very interested in coming.

There is a chance Real will sell if they get there targets, Llorente is one of them.

No idea mate how many signings we will make.

Cheers

Macca {Ed005's Note - They want to use Benzema money for Llorente. But Benzema would probably cost about £30m now given his form.}

To ED sorry if this has bin talked about loads and its old news but just haired that marc albrighton could be on his way t liverpool he was just on 96.7 doin an interview and there was indercation of him coming just was wondering if you have any info on this or have haired anything at all off any of your sources. would realy appreciate it if you could reply to me if you could(i know you have lots to do on here) or any 1 else who sees this if it gets posted. i think it would be great t get him personally more so than young

through and through red YNWA JFT96 {Ed001's Note - I really can't see it happening Villa are very unlikely to sell one of their brightest talents except for ridiculous money. Though I have to admit I have never looked into the possibility purely because of that.}

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 14:27:10
Ed whats your knowledege of any interest in Antoine Griezmann of Real Sociedad? . is it likely that he may move in Summer 2011? {Ed001's Note - there is a lot of interest in the lad, we are defo in the interested parties and Sociedad do need to sell to raise money. It is only a matter of time before he leaves, not sure this summer will be the time though as he will be worth much more in a year's time.}

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 13:50:14
Has the Yann M'Villa deal gone cold, or is still in the balance?

{Ed002's Note - I don't know of any "deal" for the player. He remains an option - in my view a very good option.}

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 13:46:24
Heard a rumour that Young has already agreed a deal with Liverpool?

Eds? have you heard anything about this?

pagasp

{Ed002's Note - That would be tapping up then. No, it is not true.}

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 13:16:09
Hey ed's/ lads what's up?
Where has all the dann rumours come from and do ye think he would add more to us than we already have.
Also did ye see lfc interactive last nite when a caller rang Brian reade, they asked him about baines and he started laughing. Wonder does he know something or what?this ansaldi guy is a good player but I think his agent may just be polishing up his client by linking him with us.

I believe he will but on a better note than Torres. Also the ed that knows about French football who do you think payet will sign for?

Cheers
Fowler is god {Ed002's Note - Payet is likely to go to Paris Saint Germain - he really wants out of St-Etienne. If Liverpool can overcome the embarrassment of Comolli going back on his word that he would not raid Saint Etienne for their players, Dimitri Payet would be a realistic and available buy in the summer.}

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 13:00:01
Im definataly with you Ed on the Mexes vs Cahill debate. Mexes is miles ahead from Cahill and at a signing on fee of about £3m i don't see why we should be looking at anyone else foe centre back.

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 10:48:33
Hi ed is it true were linked to Christian Ansaldi is he any gud ? {Ed001's Note - he is very highly rated and the links do seem to have a lot of substance in them. What I have seen of him he looked top class, but that wasn't a lot to be honest.}

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 10:05:22
{Ed002's Note - I said previously that my understanding that Liverpool are very interested in Mexes of Roma who will be a free agent in the summer. Sadly, some people are convinced that he has already signed an agreement to play for AC Milan next season and wish to be vocal about their "views". So what the heck.}

Do you rate him? He's not the best around but he's alright, although had 1 or 2 problems in the past.

Well we can agree that AC Milan are interested in him and I guess he's keeping his options open.

Also I would take him for 3 million then pay 18 million for Cahill as long as that money goes towards other targets.

{Ed002's Note - Mexes is a very good player indeed and I think would be an excellent addition for about a £3M signing on fee. AC Milan are very interested in the player as well and I think a much more likely destination - but there is no signed pre-contract for him to move there. As for Cahill, he does not strike me as good value for money and I feel he is way over-valued - I see both Dann and Johnson of Birmingham as much better options. As I said, my understanding is that Liverpool do have a serious interest in Mexes and Camolli should be making the efforts to make sure the player is aware of that interest and aware of the benefits of moving to Liverpool.}

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 09:50:50
{Ed002's Note - I never comment on teams. But I do think Cahill is overpriced and I don't understand why Liverpool are interested in teh player (if of course they really are)}

Which center back would be good for us then? I can't think of to many.

{Ed002's Note - I said previously that my understanding that Liverpool are very interested in Mexes of Roma who will be a free agent in the summer.

Firstly, I would like to say great site ed's. Secondly I would like to point out that young will not be at LFC next season, he is on the wish list of man unted and as they can offer CL football next season, he will go there. In a way I'm glad tho as for that kind of money I wud prefer other wingers, maybe jarvis, turan and then use our youth as understudies. Let's be realistic. No CL footy means half the players won't choose us.
The dark red.

{Ed002's Note - I agree that Manchester United are also interested in Young and have repeatedly told folk that. Sadly many don't agree as "Macca" has told them that Young, along with Adam and Benzema are effectively done deals. I also happen to disagree over Benzema being a done deal. But what do I know?}

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 03:14:59
Based on rumours my ideal Summers ins would be:

Ashley Young - £14m
Arda Turan - £13m
Charlie Adam - £8m
Jose Enrique - £8m
Gervinho - £14m (would love Benzema but he'd cost about £30m)

That totals £57m on my list but perhaps a few million more for those players would be required. I reckon we could rake in about £25-30m (atleast £20m) from player sales which would leave a net spend of perhaps around £27-37m. I think our team would be improved and the squad would be improved slightly so all in all it wouldn't be bad business.

Ideally, I'd like to see a holding midfielder added to this so perhaps someone like Yann M'Vila would be ideal and available for about £15m? So a net spend of possibly £42m-52m.

What do you think of this ed? Do you think this would be viable for the Summer and even realistic? Thanks. {Ed002's Note - They are all achievable although interest in Arda Turan seems to have waned.}

 

 

 

26 Mar 2011 03:23:10
Hi all fellow lfc fans :-) mexes is a target only if we can't get first option gary cahill. charlie adam will have 2 choose between tottenham and lfc. Fernando gago is still on. Young will be an lfc player, contrao is nailed on despite what people say. Benzema deal is off, bojan nailed on And expect mass clearout. kenny will become full time manager by start of next season with sami lee leaving and clarke as assistant. Lfcscoutynwa

Hey Ed's. .
What we need is width and pace. We will buy 3 wingerss in the summer, 2 of these will be Young and Payet - 2 very good wingers.

We will also buy a creative midfielder, Charlie Adam (a done deal).

I think we'll get rid of big Soto and buy a young strong centre back - Micah Richards (possibly if City are willing to sell)

We'll send N'Gog out on loan. (I went to see Liverpool play several times this season and he is just awful)

A tough tackling defensive midfielder will also be signed - Yann M'Vila

Finally a Young, British striker will be added to the squad - Connor Wickham

I hate to say it but I think Reina will leave and there are only 3 goalkeepers that are good enough to replace him - Neaur (spelling), Akinfeev or Lloris.


Akinfeev
Payet
Young
M'Vila
Adam
Richards
Wickham

Expect a busy summer. .Any thought's on this Ed's? Great site by the way! {Ed001's Note - all possible, but I doubt we will get all those, but certainly you are on the right lines of the player types we are aiming for.}

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

Thanks for replying Ed, so which one(s) do you think are most likely to join? Cheers. {Ed001's Note - Adam and Young are the most likely of those. Payet is probably next in likelihood.}

It makes me laugh listening to these 'Rumours!'
Firstly, good work editors, You do z great job!
But seriously. . Some of these posts are totally unfounded wishlists of the top 5, 10, 20 etc young players in Europe? Of course Liverpool are 'watching' these players? Along with many more? So are UTD, Athletico, Milan, Bayern etc?
Coming on saying. . "Liverpool ins. . Turan, young, Adam, baines, Enrique, benzema. . Etc etc is almost as predictable as. . "Liverpool outs. .poulson, Insua, n'gog, blah blah blah?". .
A few months ago everyone's sources had Honda in a red shirt alongside Turan?
Could people please confirm they know f&ck all before we need to ask by signing off an exotic / shadowy pseudonym like "the phantom" or "the insider"! !"
As it happens my only source is HP chilli, but I do work in football and am a match going red. I work with journalists but thankfully am not one myself.
Aside from the well known. . I.e- arsenal bid for pep, we bid for young etc. . I do know that Adam really wants to come to Liverpool and is desperate to do well as he feels his chance may be slipping away after missing out in January, and that's sort of from the horses mouth.

January ins. .
Adam
Young
Payer
Benzema
Banega
Adam again
Greizman
Turan
Young again
Honda
Affelay
Baines
Cahill
Enrique
Mexes
Me
Me ma
Me arl fella
Yer ma?

. .and so on and so on.

That said, great site. .

Keep the faith

Eddie
