Hello Ed's

Just a word on the Renia thing. Rory smith (of the telegraph) tweeted the main points of the interview Pepe gave.

He had just been asked how he felt about the rumours going round

He said that VDS is hanging up his gloves and that Arsenel were looking for a new keeper, but [he] had just renewed his contract so there was nothing he could do. [He] would like to chanllenge for trophies, of course. Champions League is important, but it is not fundamental.

So I can't see how that is him pushing for a move to OT (or even a move somewhere else). I do believe that is him waiting to see what direction the team is going in, and lets be honest with KK at the helm the only way is up. So can we stop all the 'he's leaving tomorrow' rumours.

Just wondering who will be heading to Arsenel tomorrow according to the papers. I'm gonna guess Danny Agger.

Cheers
JJ

Heard a rumour from a source, who knows a few faces at liverpool, he reckons torres has not got over one of his injurys and never will, this is why he and liverpool pushed for a move before it was obvious he was finnished, this way liverpool could cash in, and torres could get one last big pay day

In Response To This Stupid Statement. . . . . And It Was'nt Picked Up On In The Medical? FFS!
**************
Should do a 60m sprint in the medical. Would have seen Torres has lost his pace, never mind his touch. He will never be the same - happens to a lot of players that have bad knee injuries. Right Ed? {ed's note - it does, but I would expect he was tested thoroughly enough, unless Chelsea were just looking for a huge insurance payout in the future?}

Ed there are talks of Christian Eriksen in the summer. do you think there is any truth in these? i havent heard of him do you rate him?

True Red

{Editor Note: We have had him watched, I know that much. And I've seen him play twice only and I think he looks like a great potential.}

It's CITY who will push all the stops out to land REINA with a swap deal of JOE HART & ADAM JOHNSON being the offering


So when Torres was heading out City where offering us £50m and Adam Johnson. . Stop making s**t up its not even nearly true.

Pepe is going nowhere!

Seriously guys everyone guessing in what we have to spend in the summer. does no one listen to the dalglish interviews? nesv will invest money on any player if the people is right for for the club. so If we need 5players they will try a sign the right 5players. . people stop guessing and relax

With £35m spent of the £50m. We have an extra £10m to spend for the summer. £5m has been and will be used on fees. Fish face Aqualani will go for around £11-12m. I think we have missed out on Adam as there will be a bidding war at the end of season with spurs Man u and possibly Newcastle.

Targets so far
A Young (Bad value)
Hazard
Cahill
Adam (doubtful now though)

Ed do you know what sort of money is Tom Ince looking for? He looks to be a great prospect but i hear he is asking for a stupid amount because of his auld lad! !Nathan Eccelstone should be in good shape for a few starts next season.

As for the Torres being injured? Fernando has lost a lot of pace with his injuries. You could clearly see that over the past 12 months. We have had him at his peak, he is not as influential without his initial burst of pace. We will move on with KK.

{Editor's Note: This is not how the finances work. The summer saw income of about £56M and outgoings of more than £60M including fees. There is no pile of cash anywhere. The money raised from the sale of Aquilani will be near as makes no difference £7M after the remaining installment and fees are paid. No doubt a few will be leaving in the summer and a few coming in. The owners will be looking to balance the books but as a transition year there will have been plenty of additional costs (legal fees, one off payments to staff released from their contracts etc.) and I would expect that they will add some additional funding themselves. Please don't get too carried away though.}

How much money do you think we will have to spend in the summer?

I think NESV had 35 million available in the January window, they had bid 20 mill for suarez and 10 mill for Adam, so i think that's about right, obviously the Torres affair (possibly with Terry) changed that, but if that moves into the summer, that gives the following

35 mill ( Jan Budget)
15 mill (summer budget? ?)
12 mill aquillani
and maybe 15 mill from player sales.

Thats 77 million! What do other people think? what do you think will be the most and least likely amounts available?

{Editor's Note: I would imagine that there may be money available from sales. There was no £50M transfer budget for this year. Aquilani will go for €15M less €5M that is owed on him - so that is about £7M after after fees. No doubt there will be money raised from other sales and I expect that the owners may also be willing to contribute a little - but it certainly won't be anything like what you are suggesting.}

"We will go for adam, baines and a. young in the summer"
Why, there are better than Young about and possibly for less money, Baines is certainly no better than Johnson and Blackpool have already taken the mickey out of us re Adam although I agree he is a useful player.

Hey Ed's
Do you know anything about the Christian Eriksen rumors. . i hope we will sign him, he got a huge talent and fits the model from NESV


Niklas K. {ed's note - we have been watching him for a long time, that is all I know.}

 

 

 

08 Feb 2011 12:47:21
Ed, do you understand, or believe is there is any truth to the Ashley Young rumours? I personally wouldn't want him, we paid 35 million for Carroll, and that's saying something. Surely we should be able to bid for someone such as Mata or Turan, who I believe are much bigger talents then Young.

{Editor's Note: There may well be interst in Ashley Young. Whether it lasts in to to summer then we will see if the club wish to follow up with a bid. Much will depend on teh player - if he does not sign a new contract then I have no doubts that he will be put on the market and sold. There is no reason for the club not to enquire after Mata and Turan. However, Mata recently signed a new contract with Valencia and appears to be contented right now - so a summer mover anywhere is unlikely. As for Arda, he will likely be on the market in the summer and Atletico Madrid will certainly be in pole position for his signature if Aguero leaves as expected. Although not a direct replacement, Atletico have made it very clear that they have an interest in the player. LIverpool will need to do some work to bring the player to Anfield - but it remains a possibility.}

Here are my views :

young , adam , leighton baines (probably not), paco alcacer , christain eriksen and 1 or 2 other big name players!

king kenny to stay on as permanent manager doing a brilliant job.

what do you think ed ?

Adam O'K ;) {ed's note - I have to be honest, I really hope we are not going to look at Young in the summer, there are far better players out there.}

 

 

 

08 Feb 2011 12:07:00
Liverpool will sign young, adam, marveux and LB who is currently reletively unknown maybe even to kenny and co at the moment. hazard, lukaka and the likes are unrealistic as we have already spent big for young talent we won't be spending crazy amounts however, compared to what we are used to it will be a bit of a spree! even more so considering what we have already signed

 

 

 

08 Feb 2011 11:41:32
We will go for adam, baines and a. young in the summer and play a 4-3-3 formation

Why all the constant speculation on Reina. all he said is that he wants to play champs league football and win trophies. of course he does, the guy is a winner! he didn't want to win medals then we wouldn't want him. we need players like him.
come the summer, he will see the progress that the club has made.
anyways, man u have no money. they bought a no body keeper from denmark who was lingering in the Norwegian league (top quality) and is 26. swerd purchase Alex!oh sorry sir alex

 

 

 

08 Feb 2011 11:02:51
Its ok saying no ones bigger than the club and if they want to leave let them, but i would rather we find out why all our top players want to leave all of a sudden, i said last week about rumours of sg and jc fighting with ft and pepe, they both pledge themselves to liverpool a month ago now nando has gone and pepe is refusing to deny any move to manowe?who will they chase out next?suarez, raul, it has nothing to do with cl, b4 anyone comes on calling me stupid, just think it could be possible, everyone knows even the eds about sg thinking he is bigger than the club, im not saying get rid of them but lets get to the bottom of it and at least find out, nando has said he will say in a few weeks the real reason he left, so something has gone on somewhere,

 

 

 

08 Feb 2011 10:46:58
Ed has the liverpool website been taken over by evertonians or worse man u fans cause over the past week or so they have been more negative storeys than I can remember last week torres like carlo saying he will come good for chelsea (who cares what he dose now ) now they are reporting the reina to mau u story and its not in the rumour section ever got its own heading just wondered if anybody has any views on this as well

 

 

 

08 Feb 2011 10:33:26
According to tony barrert from the times
he said pepe has a release clause in his contract
said it on twitter

Just to put this Pepe thing into perspective. He signed a 6 year deal last April so he has just over 5 left. In the interview he gave which would have been translated from Spanish (how many times do things get lost in translation) he stated that he wanted to challenge for titles and play in the champions league. He states that he knows that manure (my word not his) will be looking for a keeper but he is contracted to Liverpool.

If Roy was still in charge I would be worried and I know KK sold FT to Chelsea but I can't imagine him letting ANY of our players let alone Pepe join them especially after the whole Heinze thing.

Just want to put this into perspective before everyone starts scaremongering

What do you think Ed?

KopIdol

{Editor's Note: He gave politically correct responses and dodged what he could. But the door is ajar of course. I am not sure that Manchester United will have a serious interest in Reina in any case.}

Hi ed. . was reading the Gaurdian and this young chap from Athletic Bilbao came up. . He is only 18 and totally fits in with our current policy of investing in young tallented players. His name is Iker Muniain, I've checked him out on youtube and he does look very good and very raw!. .He has helped his team get within touching distance of the champions league spots, and i haven't yet heard his name linked with everyone and their uncle yet. .I think we could do a lot worse then checking him out!. .what do you think?


YNWA

SI {ed's note - excellent player, but I doubt he will leave just yet, they will hang on until he is 21 or so and will be worth a lot more to sell.}

I was thinking of making up this EXACT rumour just yesterday! !
Great minds. .

Pepe Reina rumours on sky sports are crap. Check out the place they came from The Sun, taken well out of context and are just fabricated news. Same old crap from The sun.

Morning Ed, I've just been talking to an ex Blackpool player (he played there mid nineties in their midfield initials MB, I said I wouldn't put his name on here!)
He is still in contact with some people over in Blackpool and he has been told that Mr Charlie Adam is a done deal for the summer.
He doesn't know figures or why it wasn't completed in January window but only that the agreement is in place!

He did arrive at the bridge late in the day and in his own clobber, an hour later it was announced that the deal was done and he was then straight in for interview, not sure he could fit a medical in that quickly, Chelski were desperate for him and i think perhaps (not fact) that they just wanted the deal done, could that be why he was left lingering until 2-3 hours before the window was closed?

Couldn't be! could it?

Ed,
just read on espn India website that Pepe Reina has admitted to moving to Manchester United in a summer and it seems the old whiskey nose is ready to put in a bid of 20 million to activate the release clause of the GK's contract.

Can u find out if there is any truth in it or not? ?

{Editor's Note: There is no release clause. All he did was politely dodge a question.}
