Seeing quite a few reports that Liverpool and Chelsea are struggling to agree a fee for Bertrand, looks likely he will go to Southampton on loan now

Well, the talk worked wonders!
"Want to join the Old Saints or the New Saints?"
"New Saints for me-looking forward, not back,- just signed!"

Loan to soton has been confirmed

Who you reckon then for left back? . I think if Liverpool wanted Bertrand they could have easily pushed it through! Must be a target they'd prefer?

I might be wrong but wasnt he in a Bayern shirt aswell?
Agree2

Had a look at that he is with . diego contento(not a bad one either) who is a left back . but saying that doubt them going tonight is anything to do with a transfer! :/
Agree0

Might be something to do with Bayern on tour in usa!
Agree3

Bayern arrive in New York this afternoon, presser at 4.30 local time, play Club Deportivo Guadalajara tomorrow, Friday they are going on a river trip, then they fly to portland ready for the next game.
Or Shaqiri could be coming to meet up with Liverpool.
Which do you think is most likely :D

Hi ed1. Do you think LFC will go for bony or do you think they will leave it now till january to looj for another striker?
Believable9
Unbelievable19
{Ed001's Note - I am not sure mate, probably wait now you would think, I would expect the focus to be left back. But it doesn't seem to be the way the club are working, so I would have to say I yes.}
I would be made up with bony.
he is far better than remy in my opinion. he is a proven goal scorer in the english and dutch league (check out his overall game/goal ratio - its 210/110!) . he is very strong and great a heading a ball in the back of the net. he also has great feat and ideas when on the ball. Although his pace doesn't seem to be up there with remy's his long shots and finishing are superb. He brings a different factor if he was to be brought into our squad. I feel much more excited with this possibility. Plus I feel he would compliment Sturridge much better.

I believe the player instead of Remy will be Bony.

I find it astonishing that 6 people have pressed the unbelievable button when this lad has said all along that the info he provides is what the players believe is going to happen. Why don't the 6 of you go back and view Macca's posts over the years and see how accurate the lad's info is.
He obviously has access to first hand info which he kindly shares on here when he knows something. I'd like to say thanks to Macca and how much I appreciate this great info you share with us. Cheers mate and thanks for the heads up regarding Bony, he will definitely be a good addition.

{Ed033's Note - it's possible that 1 or more of the 6 people are indicating that they don't want Bony, rather than disagreeing with Macca.
30 Jul 2014 12:46:02
Nice one Macca good to here from you. I hope we get him.
Agree1

Have to agree although he would not have been my first choice at start of window. still think pedro would have been a great player to grab but anyhow, I do think we need another striker who will give us more than a handfull of goals
Agree2
Disagree0
Im not sure that bony is going to do 20 goals but what he will do is keeping the ball up in offence. he is brutal strong and can hold away any defender I pl and cover the ball so the rest of the team can catch up with him up front, that is a very good skill of the game that he master and I think that would be valuable for us. plus he is a good striker with booth feet and head. I think he would cost quite a lot though.

IMH there are also many trolls from other sites that will agree or disagree just to be awkward. don't get me wrong Liverpool fans do it aswell. I think that's why they were removed from banter as it got a bit in sensitive at times (for instance on rip posts). Thank you anyway Macca nice to see you back.

How is Bony any different to Lambert? Both target men, strong, good with their feet. I guarantee we won't get top four. Now I await the reaction of others, saying I am not a true fan etc. In my opinion he is not good enough and as a result the top four is gone. Thanks for the update though Macca.

Thanks for the update I was starting to wonder if Br was going to bother with a striker at all, keep it up with the updates please.

Bony will get at least 20 goals.
Agree0
Disagree0
Reports from Swansea player's say Bony looks better than ever before. I think he's the perfect player to hold up the ball between our attacking midfield and Daniel. With Markovic and Sterling on the wings, and possibly Coutinho or Lallana behind, we would look very dangerous -- strong and quick on the break.
Can't wait to see if he does come in. A legitimate 30 goals (in all competitions) striker.
Agree0
Disagree0
Never wanted Remy (too similar to Studge), Bony much better as can play as link up man. And he won't dive half as much.
Good move if less than 17m

Hi Eds, couple of questions regarding the fullbacks situation. 1- do any of you know what's happening with the Javier Manquillo deal that seemed to be on the verge of being completed 5/6 days ago, its gone pretty quiet but is that a result of wrapping up deals for Lovren and Origi? 2- Who is our number 1 left back target now? (presuming moreno deal is all but dead unless we stump up or they lower the asking price which hasn't happened so far).
As always thanks for the work and info always appreciated.
Believable9
Unbelievable7
{Ed001's Note - I don't know what is happening with the Manquillo deal at all, sorry. As for number one left back target, that was Moreno. That won't change just because we don't get him, he was the number one target. Anyone else will always be at best number two target. We have stepped away from that deal though, the only chance it would be resurrected would be if his club decided they needed the money to strengthen other areas of the team. Our offer is still sat there for now. We did return to the Bertrand possibility, and looked at some lad from France, I don't know a name sorry and we have spoken to Porto again regarding Alex Sandro.}
When you say 'spoke again' regarding Alex Sandro our interest must be pretty sting then? DO you know the outcome of the talks?
Thanks
Agree2
Disagree0
{Ed001's Note - no idea the outcome, though knowing Porto are not in desperate need to sell, I would expect we were priced out of a deal. Though they have recently signed left backs in preparation for him being sold.}
Is this lad from France the Monaco left back Kurzawa ed?
Agree1
Disagree0
{Ed001's Note - no idea sorry, I wasn't given a name for him.}
Hey ed001, any new updates on outgoings?
is it true Suso is in negotiations of a new contract? if true surprised how that turn out, from almost moving to Porto to negotiating a contract.
Agree1
Disagree0
{Ed001's Note - Rodgers likes players who will fight for their place and show a good attitude. So there has been some talks about it yes.}
30 Jul 2014 10:12:30
Would I be right in assuming Alex Sandro would probably command a large fee?
Agree2
Disagree1
{Ed002's Note - Try the Spurs page.}
Without going into detail. How far apart are we with our valuation and what Seville want? For the layman fan like me all reports suggest we are around £4m. Given we will be playing Champs league and we are currently pretty cash rich, £4m doesn't seem a great amount in order to get our number 1 target in. Obviously this is an incredibly simplistic view but one I can't help get frustrated with as I feel full back is an area we were weak in last season and one where we can improve.
Thanks
Agree1

{Ed001's Note - there is more to it than that.}
Would you care to share? I guessed it was. Always more than meets the eye

{Ed001's Note - it was all the details, not just amounts, but timing of payments, add ons, etc etc.}

Ed002, I assume Jack was talking about the brazillian left-back at Porto.

Morning Eds
Quick question, is there any possibility that LFC could get Ron Vlaar from Villa
Cheers
Believable2
Unbelievable35
{Ed001's Note - we have not shown any interest in signing any more centre backs. Our target was always Lovren and we got him.}
Is there any reason Liverpool would get Ron Vlaar, is the question.
Would be fith choice at best.
