I need some help here, Ed:

Nikolay Mihaylov have said that he is likely to return to pool in summer (has he ever been here?), because he says he knows pepe reina wants to go back to Spain.
I found this from the official norwegian fan-page, probably copied from liverpoolfc.tv or something.
So the questions remains; Is pepe actually leaving? Could Nikolay Mihaylov become a good enough replacement? Or are we out for other goalies? Would be grateful for answer? ?? ?? ? ?

{Ed002's Note - We don't know if he is leaving or not. I am sure Liverpool will worry about it at the appropriate time.}

Here come the posts 'we should sign Gyan'. And I'm first, he would be the right man in my opinion. Young-ish, Quality & a proven PL striker. However I'm sure he'll have a big price tag on his head. Thoughts Ed?

Him and Suarez together? Not a good idea as he may try to take revenge over Suarez! {Ed002's Note - Liverpool turned Gyan down last summer.}

17 year old Finnish centre back Olof Parli, who is an emerging talent plying his trade for VFB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga is appearing on Damien Commoli's radar. Big and powerful, he is being likened to a more pacy version of Sami Hyyppia.

Have it on good authority LFC have made a move for two players- Balazs Dzsudzsak and Moussa Sissoko. Also Ive been told that we have agreed fees with Villa and Blackpool for Ashley Young and Charlie Adam, all that's left is agreeing personal terms. Karim Benzema was wrapped up in Jan for 22m. Comolli wanted him to replace Torres originally but RM couldnt sell as Higuain got injured. We have also been in contact with Leighton Baines' agent. Gary Cahill is wanted for the CB position but if Bolton ask for crazy money we will turn our attentions to Sakho.

LFC Scouts have been watching Peterborough Left Back, 22 year old Grant Basey. Any truth to these rumours? I don't think he's good enough for us imho.

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 18:28:03
Any chance of Klose Ed?
Thanks,

Burnsy

{Ed002's Note - Sure - but his wages are huge and at present there is no known interest from Liverpool.}

I see alot of people posting about pastore on here, hes a fine player but if we were to go for another centre mid for me it'd be benega, this boy is class

if we were to go for another central midfielder who wud ur preference be ed? {Ed005's Note - It would be Javi Martinez or Moussa Sissoko for me. Banega is an outstanding player however I would have doubts as to whether he would cope with the physical side of the PL. The other two are both strong and hard-working which would be better suited.}


excellent choices mate, more martinez than sissoko for me as a ithink we need more creativity, how old is benega by the way? i kno hes only young jus thinkin is there time for him to fill out an get bigger maybe better suited to the prem {Ed005's Note - I think Banega is 23. Martinez is creative however Sissoko is a very creative player himself from what I've seen. Either would be good.}

who does sissoko play for? i'll hav to giv him a watch {Ed002's Note - Toulouse.}

At dinner dance Sat night where Phil Thompson was guest speaker. . he said Reina will be gone at the end of the season and Enrique from newcastle will be signed. .also said we are intrested in Adam and Ashley Young. . .depends on united tho. {Ed002's Note - I amagine the club will be seriously PO he is giving out such information.}

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 17:24:07
Reina
Kuyt
Lucas
Agger

They are all signing new contracts.

Also, people should learn to appreciate Lucas. You don't just get in the Brazil starting team and wear the No.5 for nothing.

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 17:24:26
Still being told by my "man in the know" that our main target in the summer will be Lukaku and that an alternative would be Vucinic

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 16:12:29
Why do people want to get rid of lucas? he has improved greatly and been one of our best performers this season and last season. he is 24 years old so has many years ahead of him, is already a regular in the brazil national side and always gives 100% for liverpool. i agree we need another centre mid but why not get rid of poulson and bring in sissoko, then we have gerrard lucas sissoko meireles shelvey spearing

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 15:50:21
Ed, why would you think there would be a very good chance of Pacheco leaving?shame, cos don't really think he ever got a real chance(ie.start in a full strenght team with Stevie, Nando, Mereiles etc)

{Ed002's Note - He is clearly not in the plans of Dalglish - the only time he has made the bench is when there have been injuries. Time has come.}

Ed, what do you think of rumours that Pacheco would leave in summer. I hope, not. He is quite a talent. And also today Sissoko(toulouse) has confirmed, he would leave and has said Champions league is his target. Do you think, he would join us as we might not be in Europe for atleast next year. Thanks

{Ed002's Note - I think there is a very good chance that Pacheco will leave. I also think that whilst Champions League may be a target for Sissoko, he could be persuaded join Liverpool.}

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 13:37:08
Ed,

Is cavani available from Napoli?

why not offer A.Aqualani to Napoli plus cash for Cavani.

Saurez and Cavani would be good lethal combination for Liverpool.

thanks

{Ed002's Note - Cavani may well be available but player exchanges are quite rare. Expect Aquilani to be sold in any case.}

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 13:30:12
Coentrao won't be our new left back, as he's likely to sign for Bayern after they agreed a 25m Euro fee with Benfica

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 13:08:32
Hi Ed do you think there is a serious interest in Musacchio? Would you rate him as good enough? Also why don't we put in a cheeky bid for Modric surely he would like a move to a big club?

{Ed002's Note - There is rumoured interest in Musacchio but no confirmation. As for Modric, why put the effort in to making a bid for a player that the club do not seem to be interested in. It makes no sense.}

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 11:58:28
Liverpool are preparing a bid for Palermo's Javier Pastore, the deal includes £25m & Alberto Aquilani. Also a move for PSV's Balazs Dzsudzsak of around £12m is on the cards.

Hi Ed

Just wondering the likelihood of these players:

Adam
Young
Marveaux
Benzema
Baines
Payet
M'Villa

I know you have commented on these players before but I am wondering if there has been any other developments.

P.S- Who do you believe to be the most likely CB, LB, CF and ML or MR

Thanks

Burnsy {Ed002's Note - There has been no change to the liklihood of these players arriving. I am not sure how I can answer which would be the most likely position to be covered as I certainly think that Liverpool will be looking at a number of players from these positions.}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sorry Ed,
A bit of miss communication on my part, I meant :
Who do you think are the most likely players to fill these positions?

So the Adam, Young and Marveaux deals are likely, while Payet and M'villa remain targets and Benzema is unlikely in your opinion.

Thanks,

Burnsy

{Ed002's Note - I think that Manchester United may influence the Young move. Payet is a possible target for the wings with several other players. M'Vila is again an option, but much will depend on Adam. Options for other positions include Sissoko and seemingly Jarvis. For left back a number of folks have been mentioned including Enrique and Santon.}


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

Hi,
How likely is Baines, is he the most likely LB.

Also, do UTD have definite interest in Young?

Thanks
Burnsy

{Ed002's Note - I think there is an outside chance of Baines only - and yes, United do have an interest in Young.}

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 11:26:27
What do people think of replacing Lucas Leiva with the other Brazilian Lucas- I saw glimpses of him on Saturday and thought he looked like a true Brazilian unlike our pretend one.


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

Isnt he going to Chelsea?
Lucas Piazon,
Am i right Ed

Burnsy

{Ed002's Note - No, that is a different and much younger Lucas. The Lucas who is at Sao Paulo is Lucas da Silva - who has only started out on his career this season and is most unlikely to make a move this summer. Perhaps tomorrow there will be some Ghanaian player to take the focus of the Brazilians.}

Mirror reporting:

Manchester United are closing in the signing of Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea, according to reports in Spain.

Not concrete by any stretch, but if true would mean they would not be going for Reina. . find it hard to see Arsenal spending £20 mill on a keeper, seeing as that would be their entire years spending in one go.

Best get comfy Pepe!

Hi Ed,
Sorry to bother you again but i have just been reading a piece on Lucas.
The piece talks about how we will get only 3million for him.
Do you :
a) Think he will go,
b) Think he will get a new contract
or
c) Go for only 3 million
Thanks,
Burnsy

{Ed002's Note - If he knows what most of the fans here think of him, then he will leave. I would expect that if he does go then he would demand a higher fee than £3M.}

Ed, what do u think about this link with javier pastore?? do u think we have a chance

{Ed002's Note - Realistically it is not a link as such. However, the player may be available this summer and if Liverpool wished to enter the bidding with Juventus, Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid (as a minimum). I am not convinced that Chelsea are doing any more than monitoring Pastore's situation at present, regardless of previous interest, but they are looking for a long-term replacement for Frank Lampard and may still try and tempt Palermo with a significant cash only offer. Juventus has previously offered their standard deal of several players either in exchange, on loan or in part-ownership as part of the deal. I understand an offer of €20m in cash plus Raffaelle Palladino, Sebastian Giovinco, and Amauri was made. So the bottom line is that Liverpool could enter the bidding, but it is likely to be a very expensive sale, even if it does happen this summer.}

Ed what u think of our chances of signing fernando llorente. he's young and he is similar as torres. I think we can have him for below 30m. what u say? ? {Ed002's Note - There is a chance but Real madrid and Bayern Munich seem to have the edge. If Inter cannot get other targets then they too may mane a move for Llorente.}
