Sky sports reporting lfc apparently interested in balde from lazio? Ed002 said no interest before has anything changed or have sky got it wrong?

{Ed002's Note - Inter are interested in Kieta Balde Diao - I am not aware of any interst from the likes of Liverpool who looked at the player last year.}

04 Jul 2015 21:00:38
Have sky ever got a rumour right. ?

04 Jul 2015 21:01:06
It's not sky sports who are reporting this. They are just giving some of the gossip from other newspapers or websites

04 Jul 2015 21:23:58
It's just come from the players agent who said "Liverpool have a manager who loves players like keita" but he said there been zero contact from Liverpool.

04 Jul 2015 21:32:47
I hear a straight swap for borini! Any truth eds?

04 Jul 2015 16:25:24
Eds,

Do you see us going for Pedro as is rumoured as a replacement for Sterling?

Surely with Ibe, Markovic, Coutinho,Firmino & Lallana the last thing we would need is another wide or no 10 type player?

Unnecessary in my eyes.

Rogers has an very talented and in some cases very expensive bunch of players among those 5 and if he is the great coach he keeps telling us he is, he should be able to make these players better than Pedro while not blowing another £20m.

{Ed002's Note - It is difficult to see a move to Liverpool without Champions League football. Barcelona will sell at the right price and Pedro was offered to a couple of clubs, one as part of a convoluted part exchange but no deal could be struck for Kovacic.}

04 Jul 2015 21:07:22
I know we typically don't talk money here, but what price do you think they would be willing to sell at?

{Ed002's Note - A lot less than his €150M termination clause.}

Cheers Ed2.

I would like us to get one stellar fit striker signed up, get the players we all know need moved on moved on then get to work on preparing for a very big season for the club.

We have a very capable squad of players it's now time they and the manager show this and start the climb back to regular top 4 and contending for the big prizes.

I am very much in the Rogers out camp but if he can get the team playing again like we are capable of he will have my full support.

I really hope he does.

05 Jul 2015 08:05:36
He is reported to have been quoted as saying he PREFER'S LFC over Arsenal because he has more chance of first team football with us and that CL football isn't all that important too him for the coming season.

Don't know how true that is, or even if he would be a good signing but we obviously have hit an impasse with Benteke so would assume we will be looking for an alternative.

{Ed002's Note - I have to say that it is very unusual for a player who has just agreed to a contract extension to come out with statements such as these about Liverpool.}

05 Jul 2015 08:56:14
What annoys me about this rumour is we have Ibe so why spend huge money on pedro??

04 Jul 2015 15:40:11
Barcelona newspaper sport are claiming Liverpool have made an offer for Pedro as a replacement for sterling.

04 Jul 2015 15:58:25
Firminho??

04 Jul 2015 16:17:46
It's been said several times that Firminos addition had nothing to do with Sterling.
SPORT aren't that reliable but considering they might be signing Turan who can also play there, his game time might be even more limited and we have had previous interest. Could be them putting two and two.

04 Jul 2015 16:39:55
Firminho had nothing to so with the sterling sale. It was in the plan already.

04 Jul 2015 17:13:47
Even if marko goes on loan, there's a maximum of 4 positions, possibly 3 if we play 3 cms that will be occupied by coutinho, lallana, firmino, ibe, Sturridge when fit, benteke as it seems, origi, ings, and even milner. We just don't need another forward player.

04 Jul 2015 18:19:52
I'd love ibe and lallana to get a run in the team but in all honestly Pedro is better, isn't it about improving the first 11?

{Ed001's Note - not so sure Pedro is any better, I have no idea why he is so highly rated, he is exceedingly average.}

04 Jul 2015 18:49:59
The reason he is so highly rated is because he plays for Barcelona. If the worst player in the world played for Barcelona, he'd end up being highly rated!

04 Jul 2015 18:52:09
I think half of the people on here think it's fantasy football. Always want more.

04 Jul 2015 20:07:37
Several players in that Barca team would not hack it at another club, really.

04 Jul 2015 07:28:07
Inter Milan owner Erick Thohir flew into Liverpool YESTERDAY to hold talks to sign Lucas Leiva.

I know we have to sell some players but this guy is one imo we should be holding on to.

How many DM´s do they need?

Medel, Kondogbia, M´villa, Kuzmanovic, Krhin and now Lucas?

04 Jul 2015 09:56:05
Absolutely bonkers to sell Lucas Leiva if it's true.

04 Jul 2015 10:04:28
Why Liverpool? Didn't Ed002 say a while back the club have offices in London now?

04 Jul 2015 10:05:01
You can´t blame Lucas for leaving. He has been treated poorly. There is some footage of this on youtube - Search for "Rodgers let's lucas down gently"

04 Jul 2015 10:24:01
Really hope this isn't true

{Ed002's Note - Inter Milan held meetings in London with two clubs about players - Manchester City and Chelsea. Liverpool were no mentioned.}

04 Jul 2015 10:24:38
Always liked Lucas,but if he is going then offer him and some money and get kovacic.if not the only other midfielder we should go for is carvalho.hes a beast.

04 Jul 2015 13:09:16
Did you see Lucas on that daft spoof video, in the club shop, with the hoover and that ?
Hahaha, when he was going to throw that fella out with the Everton bag.

04 Jul 2015 14:18:23
How BR was being hailed as a great man manager beggars belief.

04 Jul 2015 14:39:01
I agree, he is our only recognised CDM. Unless we have designs on buying better then this could be a massive mistake. I'm sure our record with him in the team is a lot better than that without him.

04 Jul 2015 14:39:55
Tell them they can have him as part of the Kovacic deal.

04 Jul 2015 20:22:09
I know nothing about interest of Inter Milan in Lucas but I expect signing Internazionale Ondrej Duda from Legia Warszawa as replacement for one of KovacevicHernanes.
