sly News - it is believed Liverpool's move for free agent midfielder Mohamed Diame is back on.
Diame, who played at Wigan in the 2011/12 season, is one of the top Bosmans around this summer.
The move appeared to have collapsed following the sacking of former Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish.
However, new manager Brendan Rodgers has given the green light for the deal, as he is big fan of Diame.
Liverpool could face competition from Aston Villa for Diame, with Paul Lambert keen to sign him after taking over at Villa Park.


We really are mid table team now compiting with likes of villa, Sunderland, WBA. We are shoping on cheap. I tought BR may go for some young exiting players, not the likes of diame


Didn't Man Utd pull out of signing this player because he has a heart condition?


Hes available on a free and and our competition for his signature is villa! says it all.


This is a pretty good player on a free & low wages, what the hell do you lot expect ? We are in Europe this year & squad depth is needed he can break down attacks join attacks and has a decent shot on him,
What do you lot expect? Madrid rejects? Remember we're we signed Benayoun from? Exactly, they may not play in the same positions but Yossi became a key member of our sqaud at one point, so i suggest you stop moaning or support another team

eds any idea if we have aproched sigurdsson yet or when we will? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool cannot approach the player directly. I don't know if an approach has been or will be made to his club.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 20:46:39
Maxi has not left Liverpool. He is still a Liverpool player as things stand. Whether he will still be a Liverpool player or not in the coming weeks remains to be seen but as yet, he is STILL a Liverpool player.

Thanks

Kam


Thanks for re-reporting whats already been broadcasted through most news sites. RedTurk

Ed do you think there is a chance of us signing leandro damiao? {Ed002's Note - Probably not. Leandro Damiao remains of interest to several clubs including Spurs, PSG, Roma, Sporting Lisbon, Inter Milan and Juventus. Lyon, Arsenal and Barcelona seem to have dropped any interest they had in the player. January 2013 may be a more likely time to move than the summer although with bids from Spurs and PSG on the table, Roma or Juventus may force a summer move - and these remain the most likely destinations right now.}


Are spurs a bigger attraction wheres there history here is a swan vesta put there trophies in that

Maxi Rodriguez has dismissed reports he has left Liverpool following rumours he had joined Newell's Old Boys in his native Argentina.The attack-minded midfielder was expected to leave Liverpool at the end of this season after making just 21 appearances, largely as a substitute, in the 2011/12 campaign. Maxi has 12 months left on his contract, but appeared to wave goodbye to fans when he made his most recent Anfield appearance in the thrashing of Chelsea at the beginning of May. After he was spotted in Rosario, it has been reported he had agreed a move to Newell's, but he insist this is not the case.Fans' favourite Maxi told Ole newspaper: "I do not know where these things come from. I have one year left on my contract at Liverpool and did not talk to anybody." The departure of former boss Kenny Dalglish and following appointment of Brendan Rodgers has given all fringe players at Liverpool a fresh chance.

Liverpool have an eye on Wilfred Zaha.

Will be let go for the correct amount of cash.

Palace even turned down a 7M bid from Bolton Wanderers.

JustinMac


Wouldn't want zaha


Id love this kid at liverpool classy pacy my youthfull liverpool team ......raina johnson agger skirtle emrique sterling shelvey gerrard zaha moses suarez


Bolton don't even have 7 million to spend ?


Id take him for a few mill, 1-3
AnfieldUSA


I know a lot of Palace fans, as I live in South London and although Zaha excites them, very often there is little end product. He is pacy and skillful but very much a head-down player. If 7m is being quoted it would be better spent elsewhere. Even Victor Moses would be better, not that I am an advocate of him either!

Maxi leaves LFC for Oldboys! - Sad to see him leave, very under rated by tactically inept fans.


Totally agree one of the few Liverpool players with a football brain.


I agree underrated, but the fans don't pick the side and decide the tactics.

Dirks Engine Room


Apparently not! hes said he still has a year left on his contract? I know this means nothing in terms of contracts but if hes come out and said it...he must be staying.


Only preliminary talks between the clubs so far apparently


All the best for the future maxi great servant to the club had many great games against Chelsea


A little worried how thin the squad is starting to look. 2 of our better players have left although expected it leaves us woefully short


Apparently not, just denied it, says he is "still" a Liverpool player.


Good finisher and was a credit to us but went missing for long periods and it was time to go home.


Fans' favourite Maxi told Ole newspaper: "I do not know where these things come from. I have one year left on my contract at Liverpool and did not talk to anybody."
Extract from sly


Maxi still at liverpool has one year left on his contract and has not spoken to other clubs.


Maxi has denied that he has left liverpool


Not true he is still at liverpool


Not true. and we need to keep him, quality player and perfect for Rodgers.


I agree that he is underated, but cannot justify his wage considering he spends most of the season on the bench.

Anfield Andy


If maxi had played every time instead of spearing dalgish would still be in a job

we always played better when he was on the pitch

give him another season, brendan can use a player like him


How can a fan be "tactically inept" unless they plan to get the bus the game but miss it.


Your comment lacks tact and you are inept.
I hear sly sports is hiring so look in to that buddy.

Hey Eds..I've read the posts regarding the teams interested in Belhanda but would Montpellier consider selling him? I'm sure I heard somewhere Girard saying he wasn't for sale this summer?

Many Thanks
Amz
{Ed002's Note - There is confirmed interest in Belhanda from Inter, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Arsenal and PSG and there is unconfirmed interest from Roma. The player says he wishes a move to Italy or Germany with Bayern Munich or Dortmund or to play for PSG if Italy Germany is not possible (seems he is not really sure where he wants to move to). A price of 30M euros has been quoted by Montpellier.}

highly-rated Senegalese midfielder diame who is a free agent after rejected a new deal at wigan but has seen move to Liverpool break down


If he is not good enough for Wigan , why do people think he is good enough for LFC ?


I have just read he wouldnt pass a medical because of a heart problem , which is why he does not do 90 mins very often ?
No idea if its true but thats what i read
Guinnessred8


Wouldn't want Disme anyway. Huddlestone would be a better choice


He's been looked at by real madrid and man united.. shows how much you know


If he wasn't good enough for Wigan they wouldn't have offered him a new contract, would they?


He made it clear to wigan that he did not want to stay once his contract ended.


 

 

07 Jun 2012 18:31:51
hi eds i was just wondering what you know about fischer (spelling) from ajax? if he could be available? i know he is young and hasnt played for their 1st team but was meant to have been amazing in the next gen games scoring a hatrick against us aswell real talent 4 the future {Ed002's Note - Viktor Fischer is subject to interest from Manchester United, Hamburg and Werder Bremen.}


Hes class!


 

 

07 Jun 2012 18:29:45
maxi away back to argentina. good luck to him

Maxi is said to have joined his boyhood club Newell's old boys on a free transfer


NO he aint

Liverpool have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Mohamed Diame on a free transfer.

Diame was released by Wigan Athletic at the end of last season with a number of clubs interested in signing the defensive midfielder.

The likes of Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal have all reportedly looked at the Senegal international, but opted against making a bid due to the player's ill health.

Diame has a heart condition and keeps a defibrillator near to the touchline during games, but new Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers appears to be willing to take a risk on the midfielder.

Liverpool's initial plans to bring Diame to Anfield appeared to have been scuppered by the sacking of Kenny Dalglish, but Rodgers seems to have done enough to convince the 24-year-old otherwise.

Diame, who joined Wigan for £3m in 2009, has made 10 appearances for the Senegal national side and will officially become a Liverpool player on July 1


Im pretty sure he wont pass the medical because he has heart issues and needs a Defibrillation within 50 yards of him at all times, the very reason why barca rejected him in 2008, RED INDIAN


I still expect jay spearing to go wigan on loan to replace diame and maybe any couple of young players in a deal for moses


Any truth in this ed, i think this would be a good signing


Whilst im not saying this wont happen, i have to question a report like this when it says he has to wait until 1st of july. if he is a free agent, surely he can sign already


 

 

07 Jun 2012 18:06:55
Ed do you think lewandowski or doumbia are possible signings? {Ed005's Note - No mate, there are concerns over Doumbia's actual age added to the fact that CSKA are unlikely to want to sell mid-season.}


I thought he looked about 10yrs older than his reported 24yrs... whats the story with his age?


Hi Ed, what does that mean his actual age? isn't he 24 ? {Ed002's Note - It has been questioned.}


Ed, do you mean similar to what the concerns with Obafemi Martins, formerly of Inter Milan and Newcastle were?

As i remember Martins was set to have some of his knee bone (possibly Marrow inside the bone) tested to carbon date his age, or something very similar to this.

Cheers.


What do you mean 'his actual age' ed
Thank you :) {Ed002's Note - Yes.}


What do you mean concerns over his actual age? Is he older than he says he is or something? {Ed002's Note - Yes.}


Thats stupid eds age is easily found out with a dna test im sure a team like cska done all the test anyways i dont know many players with pace like he does at 34 so i wrecken he really is 24-THE POPE {Ed002's Note - A DNA test?}


Eds how old do they think he really is then id be bloody amazed if he'd scored all them goals and he was 43 lol that would be funny as hell


I know this isnt anything to go by but when i was playing Fm12 a few months back i came across him and i gob smacked by the age saying 24, he looks about 40.


And how old do you reckon Victor Moses is?


Haha dont care how old he is he is quality on fifa and we are never gonna sign him in real life anyway so stop talking about him! {Ed002's Note - There were concerns over the age of Freddy Adu as well.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 18:01:01
Ed, is the Clarke to West Brom story actually happening or have the media just added 2 and 2 and got 5? {Ed005's Note - It is happening as far as I'm aware.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 17:12:36
Eds is there any chance of us signing Rossi his a great player and with the surprise of villarreal being relegated don't forget he was a player linked to barc last season but they went for someone else a bid of say 12 million could be enough. Don't forget they were in the champions league so they may need to get him off the wage bill as they don't have the finance anymore

{Ed002's Note - No chance.}


People need to stop asking about Rossi. He may never even play football again. It's a sad story, really.


Rossi did his cruciate ligament in October, and then injured it again when he went back to training in April.

He may not play again this calendar year. Or possibly ever again. Unless Villareal make him available for free, he's a risk that no club is going to take at this time.

- Something Red -

Are we looking at Aly Cissoko still?
As Enrique as had a mixed season? {Ed002's Note - I am aware of what his agent has said he would like to move to Manchester United but Napoli seems a far more likely destination for Aly Cissokho.}


Jose Enrique cant defend, FACT. He's all arms when he should be using his legs. Terrible defender. Between him and Carroll it should be enough to put us off signing any Newcastle players ever again.


Despite maybe a couple of dodge games second half of the season Enrique as been solid so I don't think it's fair to say he has had a mixed season.


Cissokho is overrated and had a poor season, we would do well to avoid him as I don't think he would be good enough and he would cost a significant amount of coin.

07 Jun 2012 17:00:45
Hi eds just read a story of clubcall and i don't know if it's reliable or not but it says the agent of some player called Hassan Hissein has said sunderland, newxastle and liverpool are interested in signing him? Do you know anything? {Ed002's Note - I don't know anything of it. Sorry.}


Is this the Chad guy? 100ish goals in 200ish games and he's only 20... but plays in Chad. Can't see it somehow.


 

 

07 Jun 2012 16:56:33
Eds, how likely is it that Suarez will go to PSG? Knowing that that oil rich, I'd hike up the price & sell him. Sometimes you need to sell an asset & replace with a few.

Gav the Red {Ed002's Note - There is interest in Suarez from Juventus, PSG, Palermo and probably still Roma. There is a chance.}


When do you stop selling actually build a team? The Liverpool conveyor belt nothing like it!


Cannot believe people would want to sell our only world class player.

John B


Are you for real mate,sell an asset and replace with a few.......you don't sell an asset like SUAREZ you add to it with the same QUALITY that's the way to take the
club forward or are FSG trying to compete
on the cheap................

auntie annie..........


Even if we got a good price for him every other team will know how much we got and whack up there prices........never mind the fact that there's nobody as good as him that will come to us at this moment in time and anyone who does come will want to play with him.. YagEraDetinu


While-heartedly agree with John B. Haven't we learned in the past you don't win title with 1/2 players carrying the team. Torres & Gerrard did their best for us a few seasons ago, but we need more than just a couple of good plyers backed up by mediocrity. Keeping hold of Suarez is imperative IMO. Yes we could go and buy another world class player with his transfer money, but what are the chances of him making an immediate impact like Suarez did? He didn't have the best of seasons last time but the whole season was marred for us. That much controversy surrounding one player in a foreign country can't have done much for his confidence. Still he tried his best and still managed to end the season as one of our best players, despite missing 1/4 of it.

/rant


Just because he stands out in a side that lacks flair doesn't make him world class. He makes a lot of bad decisions & doesn't score enough. If PSG offered £40m you would have to consider it. If he stays, it can't be as the main striker!


Suarez will not be going anywhere. He has stated several times that he is happy at Liverpool. What part of that do some of you not understand?


£50m Price tag will off Roma and Juve. CL football is only PSG offer. and huge intarest for him too. so if that happen then he may join PSG.


Don't you think LFC might line up a replacement before selling Suarez? Do you think the people who run the club are simple?


This is to gav the red teams like wolves and west brom get forced to take offers and let off great players and its my opinion with owners who are all about financial backing we should NOT sell our most talented YOUNG players at the club this would not be progressive would utd take offers on rooney? no they would pay him 280 thousand rather than let him go


If I was Rodgers I'd sell him. he's a troublemaker and has a history of it and he can be replaced with the transfer fee. I'd clear out the problems from last season, start fresh and take the club back to where it belongs with it's reputation in tact. This club has always a had a great reputation and last season it was dragged through the mud.


Once the club starts selling their best players it becomes a habbit. Other clubs see that and before you know it your another Aston Villa or Everton.


If we become a selling club we will go no where,

Hi eds all the info on affelay transfer news, it's confusin.could you please tell us what's happening with him?
Cheers ed great site.

And what's happening with diame? Plz answer in questions section!! Cheers {Ed005's Note - There is absolutly nothing happening with Affelay and as for Diame, Dalglish had him lined up what's happening now is anyone's guess.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 16:42:33
hi eds with everyone talking about adam johnson do you think that there is a real possibility we could get him? id love it to be true but cant see it myself {Ed002's Note - It is possible rather than probable.}


Whats the big hype over adam...players like jovetic and shaquiri would wipe the floor with him..YagEraDetinu


Adam can kick a ball accurately up the pitch FINE but so can carra over and over no1 ever states that plus adam does not have the agility to compete for the pool hes a championship player


I hope so.


 

 

07 Jun 2012 16:42:17
Hi Eds,

There were reports that we enquired about Wilfried Zaha from Palace in January and we were supposed to be getting him if they didn't get into the League Cup final. They didn't and we didn't but I was just wondered if anyone had heard anything more about him. A story's just made it's way onto the official website but it doesn't really say anything!

Thanks,
Andy Hall {Ed002's Note - He will be allowed to move this summer at the right price and Sunderland looks a possible destination.}

This information comes from one of the lads on a Liverpool forum I read from time to time. He was good mates with Adam Johnson when they were younger and there mums are still very close. He is very reliable and has been talking about Jonno way back when he was just starting out with Boro.

This was his response when asked about the rumours linking AJ to Liverpool;

"hold on to your ball bags boys...  there may just be some truth in this one. There's certainly something going on with him because he's been tight lipped about something he's not allowed to talk about."

A couple of hours later he came back with;

"right, his mam won't really give owt away either apart from this...

Adam has had an offer he needs to consider carefully. It's from a big club and although financially it won't match City what it will do is guarantee him a starting place in the first team and improve his chances of featuring at the next World Cup for England. He has also had an offer to return to the North East too. all offers need consideration. It's up to him in the end

so make of that what you will"

After a couple of the other posters said they reckon he'll stay at City for the money he replied like this;

"i get the impression he's wanting to play for England too which he would get by getting games. sitting on a bench at city is no good for him. Oh and just for the record, he's not driven by money to the extent he'd just sit and toss it off for a fat pay packet. however, while he's at City why the fuk should he not get paid a large sum of money? everyone else does! remember, a few years ago he knocked on our front door and offered to play for the same wage he was on at Boro! he doesn't give a sh!t about the cash."


Not that i fully believe this but if any team wouldn't match his 70,000k a week wage it would have to be cheap ass spurs..YagEraDetinu


 

 

07 Jun 2012 16:26:07
eds, When does the premiership fixtures list come out. And keep on with the amazing job you do for all the fans.

Bet we get Swansea away first match!

Hi eds all the info on affelay transfer news, it's confusin.could you please tell us what's happening with him?
Cheers ed great site.

And what's happening with diame? Plz answer {Ed005's Note - Nothing is happening with him mate - certainly in regards to a transfer to LFC.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 15:59:40
Hi eds, just wondering if there is any truth in the rumours saying Diame will sign for Liverpool on the 1st of July on a free transfer? {Ed005's Note - The deal was close when Dalglish was manager, I see no reason why Rodgers shouldn't push the deal through given our lack of options in DM.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 15:58:09
Mohamed Diame will officially sign for Liverpool on July 1st. Pops


 

 

07 Jun 2012 16:24:27
Macca your silence is deafening my friend!! We seek you here we seek you there? I think I can safely speak for most people on the site when I say your Liverpool FC titbits are the reason we breath air on gods earth! Throw us a bone will you fella! Heres a bit of Macca-esque info the Gaston Ramirez transfer to LFC is a no-go the buzz in Uruguay is that Suarez is leaving mersey-side and Suarez was a massive factor in Gaston signing for us. Expect him to go to PSG, Malaga, Cteh or may stay in Italy. My source is credible and well documented on this site previously. I really rate this kid hes akin to Patrick Berger but with a lot more end product, he'll be a revelation wherever he goes given time....Also please dont expect any Man City type spending while FSG own us, this was pointed out to me in an inebriated conversation with A FSG consortiom memeber named Martin Trust, we will live within our means and spend what we earn. The bigger picture is to make LFC financially fiscal in Asia, Middle East, Africa etc, commercially viable and then sell a few years down the line. Thats why we didnt go out and get a big name manager and wont have a massive transfer budget every year! Personally I think Rafa would have flourished under these owners but hey lets all wipe our tears and give Brendan all our love and support! The king is dead long live the king...Miami_Red


Pat burger had end product aplenty, and suarez is goin nowhere


Keep up will ya mate I've been saying this for ages FSG are penny pinchers we wont
win the prem. with this lot, also there wont
be a new ground..............

auntie annie...........


Gaston a no-go
Gaston signing for us.
It's been a long day at my end but what the hell are you going on about?


Who says Suarez is going nowhere?


 

 

07 Jun 2012 16:17:40
Diame and sigurdsson to sign Liverpool on July 1st. diame deal has been delayed until he turns 25 next week to avoid compensation.

{Ed002's Note - Why would compensation be due? Twitter nonsense Ia ssume.}


I think players under the age of 24 require compensation but i dont think that would necessary in this case as his contract has ran out hes not in the last 6 months {Ed002's Note - No. Compensation is required if a player was a product of the club's youth system.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 16:10:45
Any interest in Luciano Narsingh, 20+ assists and 10+ goals this season and only 21. {Ed002's Note - As far as we are aware there has been no interest in Narsingh from anyone other than Ajax and Fulham.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 16:06:47
Heard Miguel veloso is latest player being linked with Liverpool haven't seen much of him since leaving sporting Lisbon any of the eds no of any interest in him and if he would suit Liverpool has he made the Portugal squad for euros?
Shanklys statue {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any interest and he will be at the Euros.}

07 Jun 2012 15:46:51
Hi eds just a question I no you probably get this quite alot its about ramirez do you think hes a player br would be interested in surely he knows theres alot of talk of him coming to the mighty reds I would love to see him at liverpool next season and so do alot of other ppl surely he would want to keep the fans happy also how long do you think until you no who our real transfer targets are surely its got to be before 1st july sorry for the long message would really appreciate an answer keep up the good work {Ed002's Note - I cannot second guess what Rodgers thinks of Ramirez but as I have said previously Gaston Ramirez has been watched by Liverpool but I still remain unsure as to how strong the interest is from the club but would not be at all surprised if a push was made to sign him. He was available in January for about 15M euro plus a signing on fee - but Liverpool did not follow up on their initial enquiry. They will not now listen to offers less than 18M euros. However, Ramirez will move in the summer with interest being shown by Napoli, Wolfsburg, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Palermo and Juventus, who have made a firm offer. Unsubstantiated rumours suggest Manchester United, Spurs, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also interested. Sevilla were interested but I understand that Ramirez has no interest in such a move. Discussions took place between Bologna and Manchester City - adding to discussions that have taken place with Juventus and Napoli.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 15:45:05
According to sports mole we have signed Diame on a free to be confirmed on July 1 despite his heart condition...is this true eds? {Ed002's Note - I know of interest but no agreement.}


Hopefully not he couldnt even get a game for wigan and cost them a couple of points


 

 

07 Jun 2012 15:19:36
Hi ed could you please tell me is it possible or unlikely that we could get any of these players. Adam johnson,affealy and victor Moses? Sorry for the spelling. Thanks. {Ed002's Note - All possible rather than likely.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 14:34:01
Ed, how likely is Luuk de Jong, I was wondering after the change of management and the increased price expected after the euros.
Cheers

Jamo {Ed002's Note - Less likely as time moves on. De Jong will be one of those being watched this summer by a number of clubs from Italy, Germany and England. Interest has been shown by Dortmund, Liverpool, Lille and Newcastle over recent months but any waning interest from Newcastle has now been replaced by firm interest from both Spurs and Hamburg. It has been suggested to me that Lazio are looking to Luuk De Jong as a replacement for Tommaso Rocchi.}


We tend to screw up bad on these types of transfers if you hadn't noticed.


 

 

07 Jun 2012 14:30:20
Just read somewhere that Liverpool will sign Mohamed Diamé next month in order to save compensation fee as he turns 25 next week. Do you know if there is any truth in this eds? {Ed002's Note - I would not be surprised if there was interest but there is no compensation due - Twitter perhaps?}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 15:07:46
Hi eds , is there any interest in Nene of PSG looks like a good player , also any interest in Papiss Cisse or Hatem Ben Afra? , i heard that Arjen Robben wants of Bayern Munich do you think we have a chance of getting him? {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any Liverpool interest in tehse players right now.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 15:07:06
Is sigurdsson a definate or is this just fans being wappy again.

Scouse Ben


Wappy fans


 

 

07 Jun 2012 15:05:33
ED have lfc still got a decent chance of getting soldado? {Ed002's Note - I am not sure that it is a "decent" chance but certainly Liverpool have shown some interest in Soldado as have Milan and PSG. At about 25M euro or more Soldado would not be cheap but I think he would be a great option if he could be lured to Anfield.}

Hi Eds,

Just a quick question, could you see Sigurdson signing for Liverpool before Swansea appoint a manager? From my understanding is although he was unhappy with BR leaving he wanted to see who Swansea appointed first before making a decision and BR was not going to hijack any possible deal as a gentlemans sort of agreement.

Thanx

Muller {Ed002's Note - There is no way we can tell.}

Wilfried Zaha will be allowed to leave for the right price, according to Crystal Palace co-owner Steve Parish. any interest Eds and do you think he would be a good buy for liverpool {Ed002's Note - He will be allowed to move this summer at the right price and Sunderland looks a possible destination.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 14:26:09
Think we've established that Gylfi Sigurdsson is all but coming, and once Brendan returns from holiday, they'll confirm the management structure and we will be free to go about our business in the transfer market. Expect moves to be made in the next week or so. Rodgers will certainly look at Iker Muniain and bids will definitely be made for two players; Gáston Ramirez and Luuk De Jong. Aquilani will definitely stay if we can't get our valuation, and Rodgers is a fan of Joe Cole, but if he stays it will only be on reduced wages so it's effectively up to him. As for players out, we already know of those who have been released and Kuyt's left for Fenerbache. But Charlie Adam is definitely on the way out, the club will also listen to offers for Maxi Rodriguez, Jay Spearing, Doni, and Dani Pacheco. Shelvey will be allowed to go out on loan to a lower-table side to gain experience. There will also be a change in squad numbers with Martin Skrtel taking the #6 vacated by Fabio Aurelió.

WelshRed


I believe Martin Kelly will be taking the #6

Do we have any interest in Honda?
Wouldn't break the bank to sign him
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool were very interested at one time but may have blown their chance of Honda in January 2011 when he was available for about £8M. During the mid-season in Russia, Wolfsburg and Juventus were interested in Honda but the player said he wanted to move to Spain and the 25M euro asking price put them off. Recent enquiries for the player have been from Lazio, PSG, Sevilla and Palermo and Lazio nearly signed him in January. I suspect Lazio remains the likely destination but Liverpool could revive their interest. Talk of a move to Arsenal periodically arises.}


I prefer German cars ... Mercedes or BMW definitely better than Honda

hi eds do you think there would be any chance of us getting Thiago from Barcelona? {Ed002's Note - Very doubtful.}


Apparently he was offerd as part of a swap for Silva of AC Milan.God any chance we could swap him with Aquilani!Please,please,please!


 

 

07 Jun 2012 13:05:02
Eds any truth In Liverpool bidding 16mill or a Johnson? I hope so I think he will fit into liverpool team beautifully. Also any news on bodabouz ( excuse spelling ) or Luuk de Jong ? Thanks eds

Hi eds all the info on affelay transfer news, it's confusin.could you please tell us what's happening with him?
Cheers ed great site.

Huxleypig22 {Ed002's Note - Afellay has been out injured pretty much all of this season and I think future chances at Barcelona may be limited but the kid is keen to stay and Barcelona seem keen to have him as a squad player. However, I think it is still possible that he will be available in the summer and that Barcelona would listen to offers. Italy looks like one option available to him if he is sold and there may be interest from the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle.}

hi ed, is victor mosses a possible signing? Do you think he will match in BR style of play ?

{Ed002's Note - A possible signing, yes.}


Oh dear Ed002, what have you done! You do realise that to some people you've as good as said "he will definitely sign"

Chris in Tamworth


 

 

07 Jun 2012 07:59:38
Eds is the following true?

1) Jackson Martinez has signed for Porto

2) Steve Clarke is the front runner for the WBA job

3) Affelay's agent has said he isn't leaving barca

{Ed002's Note - (1) Not yet but it is very likely he will. (2) Certyainly the two parties are looking at a deal. (3) Afellay could still move - regardless of what his agent says.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 06:15:49
Eds,
1-Any interest from LFC, especially B.Rodgers on Burak Yilmaz? Release clause below 8M, would be a good choice for our in front of goal problem.

2- AMC - Gylfi Sigurdsson...Winger, right now Ryad Boudebouz likely to join if LFC make formal bid. Eds, do you know if Brendan Rodgers impress with Boudebouz based on scout report? Or, any other target in mind?


Need your answer on this. Cant wait to see Rodger's first signing.

Jramiqua'LFC
{Ed002's Note - Burak Yilmaz has attracted interest from Sevilla, Fulham, Beyer Leverkusen and Newcastle. There are also unconfirmed rumours of interest from Liverpool. I don't know what Rodgers thinks of RB.}

Adam Johnson has expressed desire to leave Man City in an attempt to secure more first team football and make England squad for world cup 2014. Believed to extremely interested in Liverpool and BR is a fan and is the exact match for what is needed for new style of football. £14 million may be enough to secure his services.


He has no hope of playing keep ball football, the most over reated player in engerland


OK enough with these sort of posts, they do my head in. Regardless of weather it is true or not at least quote sources after which tag with a name.


PS.. Sorry for picking on your post as there are far worse ones i could have used to vent my frustration on.

PDUK


He will go to spurs,on the last day of the transfer window, for 6 million.


Sorry I had posted my name and asked Eds or Macca to confirm. The names Mitch. Source is from someone close to him. He's not interested in money and wants first team place and in the England squad. Believe what u want after all it's a rumour site. Some are true some are made up. Cheers for your interest anyway

Anybody got any news on the new Assistant Manager?

Thanks,

Wont it be the person he took from Swansea - Colin Pascoe.

Thanks

Colin Pascoe

Ex swans player colin pascoe was rodgers assistant at the liberty and has now also gone to anfield


Yeah he's the same assistant Brendan had at Swansea


I believe Colin Pascoe is the new guy..

Senior contact at Genting, Charlie Adam off to Villa - £5m fee.

Red Squirrel


For a lose of 2mil ? I hope not!


Genting? As in Villa's Sponsor... who have absolutely nothing to do with the day-to-day running of the club? Seems legit....


Villa are a decent club.He would suit them if this is true.


Fingers crossed then we can get Gylfi and Rasmus Elm.


I sure hope so!


I hope thats true


Seeing as we are giving players away for less than we paid for them,how about getting rid of Spearing, Maxi, Cole, Aquilani for a start!


 

 

07 Jun 2012 11:58:01
Hey Ed, I have some very credible info that today Gylfi Sigurdsson will be given anfield tour.. NOTE: the deal is not yet completed but it will be done and dusted in a week..


It cant be done n dusted til july 1


I meant that the deal will be agreed between the two parties and also mark my words that Liverpool had a meeting today with FGS( future gen sports) regarding Demba Ba or lacina traore..


 

 

07 Jun 2012 11:47:38
Hello Eds,
Boruc is up for grabs for free from Fiorentina if Liverpool look for a decent goalkeeper. {Ed007's Note - Boruc has another year to run on his Fiorentina contract, there was a years extension option on his deal which the Italians triggered last month.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 10:57:55
Liverpool, Chelsea and other english clubs interrested in Victor Moses!

HOPE WE GET HIM!

IraqKop


Let chelsea have him! he can play on the other side to sturridge with torres through the middle in their carling cup team next season


He is so rubbish. Overated like hell he is just a big player in a small team. Look what happened when we bought Adam and Downing.....


Moses why? {Ed007's Note - To free his people and bring us The Ten Commandments. I'm sure it is mentioned in a book somewhere.}


Other clubs like... championship, hes too over rated


Hope we don't. He is good enough for Wigan, but has nowhere near enough quality to play in a team pushing for a top 4 finish (hopefully).

KB {Ed005's Note - He had a very good season for Wigan last year and will provide very good backup for Lucas Leiva. Or would you rather we had no depth in our squad and had to watch Spearing all next season?}


Hope we don't, he is just another second class winger, we already have Downing to fill that role.


Haha ed


He's not as good as people think he is so i'd pass on Moses...


 

 

07 Jun 2012 11:30:12
Sigurdsson is almost definite to join LFC now.

We are being kept informed over Boudebouz.

Also, Jesus Navas is attracting interest from LFC, but apparently when we enquired, we discovered that he suffers quite badly from homesickness.


It has been well known for years that Jesus Navas suffers from home-sickness, which is why he couldn't play away games until a few years ago and barely ever played for Spain internationally.

Jolly Red


Lol, the world and his dog have known about Jesus Navas suffering from home sickness for years.


Don't worry we can buy him a home here..


Jesus Navas has homesickness!?!?!?

NO WAY!!

Breaking news, guys...

McSnuggles


Discovered? It is widely known that Navas suffers from homesickness. He can barely leave Sevilla some of the time.

TSP


The eds on this site have been saying for the last two years that he suffers from home sickness, maybe they should get a job with lfc, either that or your source is actually one of the ed's!


His home sickness is well known, in fact he had to have treatment before the world cup, so I doubt we would have discovered that out now

Prelen


We discovered something thats been widely known for a couple of years?

So it's an old story recycled or nonsense


How does only LFC does not know about Navas's homesickness when everyone in football does???


Seriously? We were just informed of that? you mean to say that liverpool didnt know of his extreme homesickness problem with so many spaniards in the club? In my opinion thats a blow to your credebility...


The Jesus Navas homesick thing has been common knowledge to everone now for a couple of years. So not sure where leaves your post?


Everybody has known this for at least 3 years!

Mpc


"Also, Jesus Navas......." Dear eds: Your site has transported me back to 2010 where we were looking at buying Jesus navas. Please can you reverse/repair the tear in the space/time continuum that is quite obviously present on one of your servers.


Regarding Navas, this has been known for years! Yet, you believe LFC just found this out, askin about him? People need to stop acting like they have inside info!


It is very well known that Jesus Navas suffers with homesickness and is why he suffers when away with the National team. I think Liverpool football club would of been well aware of this as it is not a secret. However I hope your right, as Navas would be perfect for us...fingers crossed.

RAH, YNWA


Think almost every person with a basic knowledge of football knows Navas suffers from home sickness!


 

 

07 Jun 2012 11:01:47
Sigurdsson looks nailed on for Liverpool. BR will also sign Iker Muniain and Luuk De Jong. That will conclude his summer spending. Not sure of transfer fees or wages but an educated guess would be a combined fee of around £45m. He will also sign a young understudy to Reina also. But this will go unnoticed like the Texieira(spelling) deal.

Not sure when these deals will be completed by as De Jong has gone to the EUROs and his transfer therefore will take the longest to complete.

More info in due course

Thanks

Kam


We already bought an 'unnoticed' young goalkeeper in Danny Ward a few months ago, and the boy's going to be brilliant


I would love that but i doubt its true. also did we not sign wrexhams goalkeeper and other young gk's already ?

07 Jun 2012 10:59:17
i hope interest in a 16M bid for adam johnson is true but i do think you could get him cheaper than that for around 10ML

I would offload stewart downing as i think he is awful and i dont think he is good enough how on earth he made the england squad is beyond me

chris R


Downing is not a player I admire that much, but in his defence..Downing actually created 55 goal scoring chances last year..... Second only to Suarez with 61. It isn't his fault that they were not taken?


Downing is still one of the best wingers in the premier league and can only have a better season than last year. 16m for Johnson is true


Did you know that Downing was 2nd for chance creations last season, behind Suarez. {Ed007's Note - Their cookery teacher must have been really impressed. Maybe a Come Dine With Me Special is on the cards.....


We bought Henderson for 16mn,Downing for about 20mn and Adam for 8mn. Getting adam johnson for more than 10mn must be a joke. Please no more inflated prices for average players.


Agree with that.Downing has never impressed me at any of his clubs.I was disappointed when we bought him and would be relieved to see him make room for another wide man.
CR


Give Downing a bit of time. He has got undoubted talent and I'm sure Rodgers will champing at the bit to be the one to finaly make Downing realise his potential. If it doesn't work out this season he will be gone next summer


I would keep downing for another season


 

 

07 Jun 2012 10:41:52
The Burak Yilmaz rumour to us seems to have no legs. The only team that might of made an inquiry for him is Atlético de Madrid and that would have triggered the clause that allows him to consider options (thought to be around £5m).

The thoughts from friends in Turkey is that this is actually really only a wage negotiation with his team rather than any indication he will leave. I'm not saying I know just simply that the current set of facts do not support the idea of him coming to us.

Ibrahim Afellay to Liverpool?

Liverpool Plot Surprise £9m Bid for Barcelona Attacker


Dutch sources believe that Liverpool will attempt to lure Ibrahim Afellay from Barcelona this summer, just months after he joined the the Catalan club. The Dutch international playmaker is said to be unhappy about his lack of first team chances and this has led to speculation that the former PSV Eindhoven man may be interested in a swift Nou Camp exit.
LiamsBiz


He's staying put, end of!!


Not much of a surprise then is it?


How could he be unhappy with his first team chances he's been injured nearly the whole time he has been there lol


This really is sloppy research!
Copy and paste ''Liverpool Plot Surprise £9m Bid for Barcelona Attacker'' into google and guess what... the article was from over a year ago!
At least check out the source before posting.
TomLfc85


Your copy paste is obviously recycled, he's been with Barca for over a year...

They cant play an injured player?


I think tello is almost certainly gonna stay at barca they have an extremly high rating of him and are deep into contract talks from what ie heard is that true eds? cheers CRAIG

Liverpool interested in Cristian Tello

Liverpool are interested in Barcelona's emerging 20-year-old forward Cristian Tello.

The Spain Under 20-s striker is out of contract at the end of the season and is being tracked by a number of clubs including Benfica, Valencia and Malaga.
LiamsBiz


You just writing every rumour you can find in a search engine???


Yes a brilliant young player just breaking into barca first team of course he will join Liverpool


Would prefer Tello but he probably will stay with Barca or may be a part of a deal for Falcoa from Athletico

Hes in talks to sign a new contract


Take it its a barca day then yeh'

Javi García to Liverpool?

Javi Garcia's agent has claimed two Premier League clubs along with other sides around Europe are chasing the Benfica midfielder.

Garcia has established himself as one of the most sought-after players in Europe after impressing at Benfica since his arrival from Real Madrid in 2009.

Manchester United and City are both thought to be keen on Garcia with the 25-year-old impressing against United in this season's UEFA Champions League campaign.

Arsenal and Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in Garcia with Benfica facing a fight to keep hold of him at the end of this season.
LiamsBiz {Ed002's Note - Manchester United, Arsenal, AC Milan and Bayern Munich have certainly been looking at Javi Garcia but I suspected there may well be a push from Manchester City to take Garcia as a replacement for Nigel De Jong. However, Garcia has signed a new contract at Benfica making a move less likely and I suspect Manchester City will turn their attentions to Martinez.}


 

 

07 Jun 2012 01:33:02
Hi Eds, awesome website you's have here.
Just wondering, now with Steve Clarkes confirmed departure, do you think there's any chance Rodolfo Borrell could be the new assistant manager, and do you think he'd be ready for that job? {Ed002's Note - I really don't know.}


Will most likley be colin pascoe who joined liverpool from swansea with BR , he was also BR assistant manager at swansea 1+1=2 YNWA

Paris interested in Luis Suárez

Reports have surfaced that PSG are ready to offer Liverpool striker Luis Suarez an escape route out of England.

L'Equipe reported that the nouveau-riche French league leaders are desperate to sign a world-class forward and have turned their attention to the Uruguay star after failed bids in January for Carlos Tevez and Alexandre Pato.
LiamsBiz


Why would we sell a world class forward when even with big money we cant buy 2nd class players. Last year we had money but none of the super players wanted to play for us.

Arvin


Reports have surfaced? Where does meaningless language like that come from? Pray tell, when and where did it 'surface' and were there any Chilean miners with it because that's how old this story is.


Suarez is STAYING


French League leaders?? Why do people who have absolutely no knowledge of football keep posting utter crap is beyond me!!

Reading are reported in taking stirling on season long loan deal for next season i think this would be a great move for both let him get first team action wit reading this would bring him up another level what u think edds and also i think let aqualani just leave the club its more trouble than its worth looking for a club for him he dosnt want to be here so let him walk i know we wil loose a big chunk of money but he wil be off our books please post {Ed002's Note - He cannot go on a season long loan.}


Why cant sterling go on a season long loan? {Ed002's Note - He is not old enough until December.}


Stirling will get more first team chances. Swansea would be better than reading if there were a possibility of loan.

Arvin


He can only go on loan in January, toni silva could go on season long loan

Not a chance, he doesn't wanna leave everton for Chelsea, what makes you think we have a chance??

With Villareal relegated from La Liga last season and our need for at least one more striker, is there any chance of us making a move for Guiseppe Rossi? {Ed002's Note - None.}


Rossi tore his right ACL last October and, just as he was preparing to return, tore it again in training last month. By the time Rossi is scheduled to play again in early 2013, he will have been out for at least 14 months from competitive football.

Hey Eds,
What happened to the interest in Chris Eriksen? Also, Besides Suarez, Carroll and maybe Bellamy, what quality strikers do we have? Could Borini be a chance? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and AC Milan have shown an interest in Eriksen in the recent past. He has already rejected both Manchester City and Chelsea but AC Milan remain the most interested club. The Milan Press Office are convinced of interest from Manchester United and they have let it be known that they expect a bid to be made by for Eriksen who remains adament that he will stay in Amsterdam for two more years before moving to Spain. Expect AC Milan and Roma to press if a bid is made by Manchester United.

I doubt Borini will return to England.}


Christian eriksen will eventually move to barca because it is his dream club

Hi eds , is Liverpool showing any interest in Karim Benzema he is good {Ed002's Note - I doubt it.}


What are you on about


 

 

06 Jun 2012 23:32:19
Hi eds,

do you think BR will give Sterling and Suso a chance in the first team, they both look like they are very quick, technical and intelligent players so i think they would fit into Rodgers style of play pretty well {Ed002's Note - They are kids - a cameo or two.}


Suso I would say is a very viable option for next season at 19 almost 20. Raheem too. Whever happened to if you are good enough, you're old enough?


This is our problem with youngsters! Do you think Arsenal thought Chamberlain was too young? No, and now he's going to the Euro's because he's a special talent like these two. I'm not saying they should be first team, but they need more first team football if they're to develop!


Sterling already has had made a breakthrough. Suso isn't ready just yet


Suso is 20 and still a Kids ?


Rooney was a kid a 16 and hasnt looked back. need to start giving the youngsters a run out at least 15 GAMES. Hopefully these two can take some cup games by storm and fight there way in to 1st team contention. BBRed


I would put them both on the bench and start bringing them on whenever (or if) we get a safe lead...carling cup aswell
they'll def fit into his style of play...


Kids have a place in team if good enough, these two are. It will be the same old story, nerture young players and sell them, why not get them playing, it's the only way they willn get better.


You will never win anything with kids!


The physicality of the game would be one reason why they wouldn't be always starting options. The could get injured easily and that wouldn't be good for us at all.


 

 

06 Jun 2012 22:23:25
Eds, apart from sigudsson who do you think BR will possibly target from what your hearing from all the speculation. {Ed005's Note - Impossible to say at the moment - many players scouted by us in the past could well be off the agenda given the change in management. Then again, maybe they will be targeted. Thing will become clearer in coming days.}


I'm so excited :)


From what i imagine, Rodgers will obviously have had his own scouting work done at Swansea, but now he is at Liverpool, he will have a different structure to work within. Which could almost certainly in many a case change many targets for Rodgers and now also Liverpool.

Although he still seems set on Sigurdsson, this might be as he proved himself a very good player in the Premiership and he did well against some of the better teams. Or it might be because Rodgers feels the qualities he looks for in a player, are that of a player who can play at the very top of his profession.

He might like Ed/s said, lean towards signing players that the Liverpool scouts have watched and compiled data on.

Then again another option is that Rodgers might wait to see how players fair in the upcoming Euro's. It's a waiting game .

BR' note pad


Wil there be a new DOF installed or BR will hav the say on players transfers ? {Ed002's Note - There will be no DoF.}

Hi Ed's

I've been following this site dailey for about two years - Great job, it's grand!

I think we have a lot of exciting player material in our youth ranks, especially Sterling, Suso and Coady. But we have had a lot of exciting youngsters, who never cut it in the first team, i.e Nemeth, Pacheco, so on.
Do you know, how highly these 3 players(Sterling, Suso and Coady) are rated by the club? And if that could possibly affect our tactics in the transfer market?

Sigetty-DK

{Ed005's Note - They are rated highly especially Suso.}


I hope they really are, get some playtime under BR and are not wasted or sold for chage


Curious whether they're going to play him as a deep-lying play maker or on the wing.


Also sometimes they are lost at Liverpool, Tom Ince for example. Who was thriving after going to Blackpool.

Hopefully Rodgers can help sort that out with Rodolfo.


I think Sterling will get a sniff as well.Certainly has a lot of ability.
Coadys problem is that we have a lot of competition for CMF but he has time on his side.


Well they're probably still young enough for playtime ;)


Since Suso's debut screamer against Newcastle he's looked the part. Really hope he can be included this year.


Coady will NEVER be a first team player, sterling as we all know has already had a taste kf first team action, both he and suso are expected to shine and progess towards the first team over the next 18 months they will both be squad players for the europa league next season unless they are guaranteed 1st team football through a loan move.

Haggis.


Suso and Sterling definitely need some game time next season, i'd be happy to see them on the bench next season rather than buying anymore average squad players. Sterling will be class, but is not mature physically, he should work on that over the summer (just like Nani has done at man utd).


As BR was looking to take Sterling on loan at Swansea, that would suggest he was gonna get some game time. So hopefully he may still do so now.
The Real KB


Coady not good enough for first team?? You are bonkers mate.... I play 5 a side or 11 a side on a thurs night near st helens on artificial and coady is always there with his mate. I've played against him twice and the kid is a different class...sublime first touch and quick as you like over the first 10 yards.... I'm no slouch and have played professionally (albeit in the lower leagues) as have my mates but they have all said he's class.....He'll be first team mark my words he IS more than good enough...

Evvothered


If shelvey, henderson, spearing and charlie adam get a chance, then conor coady will have his chance in the first team - he has for more potential than the above..


I'd just like to throw this out there, sterling is 17 till december at this age in oxalde-chamberlains carear he was playing tegularly in league 1 which is better than liverpools reserve team. I don't know why we bother with an academy as its proven that it's better to buy kids like shelvey from charlton who's far better than coady,Roberts and almost every player in the academy , players should be allowed to be loaned at a young age to lower league clubs as this is proven to work better for the players


Andre Wisdom is our best youth.

I've been hearing that Llorente has asked Torres and xabi alonso about Liverpool & he has said hel be playing in the premiership soon


No he asked about the prem not Liverpool ,we won't be getting fernando torres


No he didnt ask them about liverpool. he asked them about england and the premiership. hes been linked with spurs and arsenal.


One Carroll in a team is enough.
We are doomed with two targetmen who needs to be fed, we cant even feed one of them!
Carroll > Llorente all day all night baby!


In the Premiership but not for Liverpool


Fernando Llorente? the same guy that laughed in the media and said 'why would her go there' when asked about the manager Bielsa to Liverpool

Where exactly did you hear a conversation between Llorente, Alonso and Torres talking about playing in the Premiership? Assuming you are Spanish speaking too of course.

ed what is your opinion for Piatti from Valencia ?
He is quick and has good dribbling skills.
Is he a possilble target ? {Ed005's Note - I think he's a fantastic player however if Sigurdsson comes I think we're covered in the attacking midfield area}


Ever Banega fast and hard working player.


He actually plays more wide left and can also play wide right.


Could piatti be used as a winger though?

Liverpool have activated Burak Yilmaz 5 million release clause
35 goals in 41 games this season for Trabzonspor in turkey.

Well done Rodgers


Where's the proof ? {Ed016's Note - there is none, it's a rumour}


Why do Liverpool want players no ones heard of when we are after Hulk {Ed016's Note - not heard any news about that mate.}


Is he any good kuyt probably get golden boot over there in turkey


Do you have a source for this or have you just made it up


If thats true it could be some shrewd business


He certainly knows how to find the net , he d make a good signing for five million


If this is true i ll be happy because it shows rodgers is looking beyond what we normally see ie soldado munian blah blah blah {Ed016's Note - Exactly what I have been trying to tell people but I get the "Negative Ed" stick for telling people that we won't get players like Cavani, Hulk.}


Let's hops so. we need a goalscorer badly. yilmaz, schurre or de jong would all be welcomed.


Any truth in this eds?! Never heard of him. {Ed016's Note - Just a rumour. Nothing solid behind it.}


2 footed greedy bastage he is but you'd like that in a striker. Arsenal are interested in him. could be a steal.

Chi-Paul


I've seen him play! He's frikin awesome skill like Suarez but way faster!
If its true, fantastic for Liverpool!


Ahem... Look good on YouTube...

Much like the Borini rumour yesterday, It'd be nice if this were true, it's always good to bring in young talent that is a little more experienced in the professional world. But i have serious doubts about the authenticity of this post.

The Turkish league is quite weak. But if we were to get Yilmaz (age 26, 55 goals in 75 games since he moved to Trabzonspor in 2010), then let's hope he does well and has a bit of class about him.

Personally i want/ed Luuk De Jong as i think he's going to be top quality. I know that Soldado is high on many people's ''wish list'' as well and Soldado is the finished article, although i don't think we would be Soldado's first choice unfortunatley, nor Luuk De Jong's i fear .

But i'd happily start next season with Carroll, Suarez, Yilmaz and Bellamy.

LoL Ollieston/ed :)


Now this one is an interesting rumor. I have never heard of or seen this guy before, until now, but he clearly knows how to finish, is big and strong, and seems to have genuine pace. Also seems to be very composed under pressure. This could be shrewd if true.


I thought he was on his way to Borussia Dortmund ? Looks a real finisher, just what we need

All hail rodgers, please do not go for big names like munian, hulk etc but for good players in small league and we can save money and can produce quality. look at cisse and cabaye in newcastle. they didnt cost many but look at how they are bring the success to toons

Guys i am a lifelong Liverpool and Trabzonspor fan.
But this guy is not that sick.
He performs against low teams and against top teams he is bad.
But i would love to see him in a Liverpool shirt!


Don't know about this - but I have heard reports from Turkey suggesting he is attracting interest from Italy.

Phil :-p
