For the last time people, Hazard will NOT be joining. Stop being lazy and read before you send another Eden Hazard related question, the answer has been no and the answer will be no for the foreseeable future. Waste of the Eds time and keystrokes. Mahalo and Aloha.

ed if gerrards still out or not fit enough by jan would you expect a bid for sissoko?DORSET RED {Ed001's Note - possibly, it depends on if he is approaching fitness and the form of other players. But I personally wouldn't rule that out if there are complications.}


Hi eds...

isnt moussa sissokhoa a defensive mid fielder?
if he is then how are we targeting him to replace gerrard?
thanks

nz {Ed002's Note - Moussa Sissoko is not a defensive midfielder.}


He is on Fifa 12, but then again Fifa reckons David N'Gogg is a striker! {Ed002's Note - Well he may be a DM in your game but in the real world he is not.}


Then what kinda player is he eds??

what are his strengths?

thanks..

nz {Ed002's Note - Surely you can do your own research in to this.}

which wingers do we have a chance of getting ed?
a johnson a lennon bale hazard or do you have anybody else in mind? {Ed002's Note - A right sided striker is being looked at in De Jong. Bale and Hazard are certainly not goining to happen in January.}


I wouldn't want bale near Liverpool. He is the most over rated player i seen. Dont forget the comments he said about Liverpool a while back.

hi ed, is there any clubs interested in maxi he said he wanted to leave and we need to get him off the wage bill. thanks {Ed001's Note - there were a few inquiries in the summer, but they came to nothing, I do believe there is still some interest from Spain, Villareal in particular. That is why I thought Musacchio had a good chance of happening as they were willing to deal.}


Do you think there is still a chance of Maxi going to Villareal with Musacchio coming the other way?

Thanks ed

maka
YNWA JFT96 {Ed001's Note - nope, it seems we chose to bring in Coates instead, partly, I am sure, to help Suarez settle in. It always helps a player become comfortable if they have a friend there.}


Hello Eds. So far, ye have:

Mussachio
De Jong
Moussa Sissoko
and possibly Gaston Ramirez.

What do you think would be the approximate fee for all of these buys if they are pulled off? {Ed001's Note - you are looking at round about 40m for all of them.}

hi ed was the possibility of these signing? adam johnson, luuk de jong, honda and sissoko (not momo) thanks {Ed001's Note - it depends on so many factors with all those players. Johnson needs to be replaced by City before they will consider letting him go. De Jong was really intended to be a summer target but other clubs are monitoring him closely, so there is a good chance we will move for him sooner. Honda is unlikely, we probably missed our chance last January with him, though he is available still. Sissoko is a difficult one, he is highly rated by Comolli, but he doesn't make the final transfer decision.}


I realy cant see us signing johnson, i feel that he is that good hes going to play his way into the team and leave mancini with no option but to keep him in the starting 11

Hi eds,

I was reading some old articles online about us having a slight interest in edinson cavani, just wondering if:
A. This was ever true?

B. We have any interest now?

And c. Would he consider in the summer? (if we get cl football)

Thanks guys {Ed001's Note - we did have interest in him in the past, but I believe it was never more than interest. I doubt we will move for him now.}


 

 

30 Oct 2011 20:29:10
Hi ed do u know any defenders we are interested in thanks {Ed002's Note - After the youngsters coming through (Kelly, Flanagan) and Coates and Enrique being bought in the summer it is not certain there is interest in any defenders right now.}


What happened to our interest in micah richards and is there any interest in kyle walker? {Ed001's Note - Kelly is the main reason we dropped interest in Richards, the right back spot is well covered with him and Johnson, while other areas were a priority. Not a chance we will get Walker, he is first choice for Spurs and looking to establish himself for England, every player knows your best chance of getting in the England team is to play for Spurs!}

Well eds

Just a quick question was at a party last night and some said something about higuian putting something on his twitter about talks wit us have u are anyone heard anything..

Are is it Chinese wispers

The faceman
Ynwa {Ed002's Note - Higuain is not in talks with Liverpool.}


 

 

30 Oct 2011 18:28:54
Ed.
Any change that Gareth Bale would consider a move to Liverpool because of the connection to Damien Comolli? {Ed002's Note - Let's assume no until the club show at least the slightest bit of interest.}


Chance* i mean


Not a hope in hell, the first reason being he hates the club and city, he was caught s. lagging the club off on youtube only for it to be taken off just as quickly as it was put up, secondly the cost, couldn't afford to buy him, a reported £60 mill price tag is on his head


Dont rate him, dont want him had, 1 good half of a season last year and he's rated at £60 mill!! I also see him as being very injury prone in the future.


^^ Well thats ok then. Your club is totally bottom on his wish list, so you wouldnt have to be bothered about him being injured.


Why would you even want Bale?? Am sick of hearing us connected with the stuck up little runt! He hates Liverpool and the cities people, so forget him. His comments wont be forgotten and i dont care how good he is i dont EVER want to see him in red!

hi ed, ive heard city are interested in shaqiri a left winger for fc basel do u think he could be adam johnsons replacement? {Ed002's Note - No. I would guess that the only change that could lead to Adam Johnson being available in January is an exchange of Tevez for Angel Di Maria at Real Madrid.}


Hey, ed but do u think that real will agree to let go di maria for tevez. I thought that di maria is one of their important players. Do u think the swap deal is likely to take place either in jan or summer.

Abhi {Ed002's Note - Tevez will almost certainly move in January with Kia Joorabchian actively trying to arrange a meeting with Miguel Pardeza (still unsuccessful). Real Madrid will offer Khedira but city will want Di Maria - I don't know if a deal can be done. An alternative for Tevez is perhaps Inter Milan will offer a deal including Maicon. Tevez is also available for cash should anybody have a spare £40M (the asking price) floating around.}


Ed002 Do Madrid actually wan't to sell Di Maria or would they wan't to keep hold of him? {Ed002's Note - Real Madrid would probably want to keep a hold of Di Maria and have already turned down advcances from at least one other club to discuss him. However, he and his agents have been pretty vocal about wanting an improved package and have generally been a bit of a nuisance to the club. Manchester City, if they can get a meeting between Joorabchian and Miguel Pardeza will make their demands clear. There is no way that Real Madrid are in a position to pay £40M for Tevez right now so a trade is the next best option. Khedira will likely be offered up and I don't think he will be of any interest to Manchester City.}


Interesting, brilliant, thanks!


 

 

30 Oct 2011 13:50:48
Hi Ed's do you know if we are watching Junior Hoilett or if there is any interest? Also if there are any other clubs interested. thanks {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any interest at this time. There were some unconfirmed reports that Spurs, Newcastle and Aston Villa have been interested - plus a couple of clubs from Germany.}

Ed is it true Adam Johnson from man city had a bust up with Mancini and would he be interested in a liverpool?
I don't even know yet if Liverpool are actualy interested or if man city would sell but I'll still ask ya {Ed001's Note - they have never got on.}


Very true. They don't like each other, Adam wants to leave and Mancini certainly won't try to stop him. They want to swap Tevez for Di Maria, which will then make Adam available. After he left Boro the club (LFC) were contacted by Adams 'people' and Rafa himself said he wasn't interested. From what I have been told is that he won't move to London and hates United so we must have half a chance, surely?


I keep hearing the reason Mancini doesn't like him is because of his attitude. Do we really want a temperamental body in the dressing room regardless of ability? Look at Tevez, fantastic player but causes disruption if things don't go his way...

I have recently heard a rumour that Barcelona are interested in Enrique. HAve you heard anything about this? (C)


This was in the summer


Barcelona are interested in Valencia left-back Jordi Alba, former Barcelona youth player.

maka
YNWA JFT96


I heard the same story recently but Athletico was the club.
I'm sure its just a rumour


Every club will be wanting Enrique at the moment he is absolute class! Best lb in the prem.

Manno


I agree with manno he has been superb this season i had doubts over him signing but now i think we got probley the best signing of the summer, it wouldnt suprise me if barca are interest cos he probley one of the best left backs in the world i hope he stays


No way!! jose enrique will not go to barcelona he has just joined and is fitting in at the club he is also playing well and he would not get into the barcelona team

Hi ed not trying to make something out of nothing here but do you know if Adam Johnson doesn't celebrate when he scores due to the whole not getting on with Mancini thing, at first I thought it was because he was playing in the carling cup but he did the same thing yesterday in the league ? {Ed001's Note - I don't know, I have never given it any thought to be honest, I will ask and see if I can find out for you.}


Maybe he is one of the wolves fans lol

Danny Murphy's passing has been superb. Yesterday he was Fulhams star man and played in Alonso style of defend & creat.
Ed was Danny Murphy ever thought off to return to the reds?
He would of been cheap and is still loved by his loyal red support.
Anyway, were right behind United now and the top 4 is wide open.
Physic red {Ed002's Note - Murphy is now in his mid 30s I guess. I don't think he will be returning to Liverpool, but (as you say) he will be cheap.}


We are trying to take steps forward not backwards would he be good enough for City, Utd,Chelsea no dont think so, so why would he be good enough for us??


Does he not pass the ball to a pin head? Defend? Is his vision still top draw?
Would he be cheap? Could we get a year or two out of him? Would he play with pride and passion?
If the answers are yes then there's a sign of a good useful squad player.
I never said we should get him but ask if there was interest considering be is still quality.
Your probably right when you say he wouldn't get into the united or Chelsea but that doesn't mean he's rubbish.
McAllastair comes to mind for me.
Physic red


Murphy plays nearly every game for Fulham. He would be a squad player for LFC, so don't think he would move back. He is still a good player, maybe left 2 years too early. ak

Hazard - and why isnt he?? {Ed002's Note - Eden Hazard will not be moving to Liverpool, or Arsenal for that matter. Real Madrid or Barcelona is his preferred destination. PSG, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are all interested to one degree or another. I said over the summer that I would not be surprised to see Manchester United through their hat in to the ring with Hazard as well. Previous interest from Juventus has been on the wane.}


Yeah he could move to us in the summer,why not,if we get champions Lge contrary to opinions!


Has anyone noticed how ED002 always dismisses Liverpool links with the top players? But always indicates that Chelsea and Utd are real candidates. {Ed002's Note - And yet again the anonymous internet warrior starts. Do you want good information or BS? You don't have the balls to leave an email address or sign your posts even. Cretin.}


Ed 002 i didnt leave that last post but i do believe in what he is saying that you do dis any player that is linked with Liverpool for some reason and it sounds anti-Liverpool.
better sign this {Ed002's Note - Er, no it is nothing to do with being anti-Liverpool, it is an attempt to bring you good information. If I am aked if Neymar will be signing for Liverpool this January I will be honest and tell you that he is not. You for some reason see that as me being anti-Liverpool. I admit I did say that Liverpool would not sign, among others, Coentrao, Alexis Sanchez, Young, Neymar, Ganso, Falcao, Canales, Dzsudzsak, Gomez, Taiwo, Tevez, Alves, Cavani, Goetze, Hulk, Ilicic, Iturbe, Klose, Lucas Paizon, Lucas Moura, Martinez, Muller, Higuain, Hummels, Neymar, Pato, Sneijder, Wolfwinkel, Adebayor, Reus, Ribery, Aguero, Bastos, Costa, De Federico, Defour, Demba Ba, Eriksen, Falcao, Forlan, Hazard, Jose Angel Valdes, Lamela, Lavezzi, Lucas Ocampos, Malouda, Nasri, Navas, Ninis, Nolito, Oezil, Menez, Modric, Pastore, Pjanic, Robben, Subotic, Vargas, Vidal, Banega, Barrios, Benzema, Boudebouz, Cazorla, Clichy, De Bruyne, Etoo, Godin, De Gea, Elia, Hernandez, Jovetic and Llorente in the summer - and I was correct over those. I did of course get Sebastian Coates wrong. So your point is? If you want me to not give any accurate information and just provide you with the bullshit that you want to hear then why not be honest and say it.}


Ha ha love it ed, they do think every player wants to join them blah blah, very sad lot


No one believes liverpool will sign all these players but neither will manu or chelsea. but as always u say its never going to happen when it comes to liverpool. while u always say manu and chelsea are in with a shout. its got nothing to with wanting to be feed bs either. u just sound dismissive of liverpools ambitions and nobody but those running the club really know what those are. {Ed001's Note - you are talking rubbish, he does not say Man Utd or Chelsea are in with a shout of signing all those. You need to grow up a bit, stop thinking everyone is anti if they aren't telling you what you want to hear. A lot of those players would only move to a club that is in the Champions League, in case you haven't noticed, Man Utd and Chelsea are in the Champions League. We aren't. That is why, in a number of cases, those two clubs have a chance of signing players we don't have a chance with.}


 

 

30 Oct 2011 09:27:15
i was wondering if we get in the cl next year would hazard be a possibility {Ed002's Note - Almost certainly not.}


Of course he could poster,if he can go to Chelsea an aging team he could move to a younger team like Liverpool that are taking steps forward and will be a force in the next 2 seasons


We wont get in the champions league next year


 

 

30 Oct 2011 08:50:39
ed who do u feel we should sign and what positions need strengthing {Ed002's Note - In January the club will look to minimise spending I suspect. A great deal was spent on the team in the summer. There is clearly interest in Luuk De Jong but other players coming in will likely be replacements for any that are leaving, cover for injuries or cover for positions where weaknesses are perceived by the management team. There may be some minor changes, but don't expect too much.}


I have to disagree with you ed002, the reality is the net spend is not that high at all given the players sold and the players off the wage bill. I think that should Kenny want a player I reckon the funds would be there. I for one would love to a creative right winger as I feel we really need some options for that flank. {Ed001's Note - you are forgetting how much was spent paying off the dross.}


Bigger changes needed!still way off.Dont and gap will widen again


Agree and the owners will want to give the club the best chance of success within reason so if a great talent to available to the club I can see them handing Kenny the £


 

 

30 Oct 2011 08:13:06
Ed i was wondering if liverpool still got interest in antoine griezman this lad got lot of potential he is good for the future {Ed002's Note - I really don't know of any serious interest from Liverpool. Players are watched all of time by scouts representing the likes of Liverpool and more often than not rumours begin when a scout has attended again and is doing no more than taking a look at one or two players. Valencia, Marseille and Lyon have shown some confirmed interest in the past and repordedly Barcelona have taken a peak. The only club that made serious enquiries in the summer were Athletico Madrid and we are aware that such a move would have been acceptable to the player. He tried to have his buyout clause reduced so he remains interested in a move withing Spain.}


 

 

30 Oct 2011 02:12:19
hi eds
is luuk de jong deal a 100% ?
if the deal happens will liverpool still be interested in adam johnson
pragyan

{Ed002's Note - It is nothing like 100% I am afraid, there are other clubs interested. It also has nothing to do with any possible move for Adam Johnson - there are a number of criteria to be met before that could happen.}


Hi, ed if mancity do find a replacement for johnson in january, would we try to buy him or wait until summer as u r suggesting we would minimize spending for january. I personally feel we should go for him if he were available in Jan or else some other team could go for him or something like dramatically change his case as was done with bale at tottenham when he all of a sudden boomed when he was almost sold before. Thanks

Abhi {Ed002's Note - If he becomes available in January there may well be interest.}


 

 

30 Oct 2011 00:03:41
I eds do you know if we have any interest in cms for a long term replacement for gerrard and do u know if we are interested in christiean eriksonn? ( don't fully know how you spell it ) {Ed001's Note - yes, Comolli has even told Moussa Sissoko he sees him as the long term replacement for Gerrard. Yes we are interested in Erikssen, we were trying to sign him and Suarez last January.}
