99% certain now Liverpool are in the process of approaching Napoli with an offer for higuain plus a player, Liverpool want a large chunk of the suarez transfer upfront to pursue the Argentina striker. Higuain can play across the line of a front 3 as proved for Argentina this appeals to Brendan who hopes to complete a deal after the world cup
08 Jul 2014 23:14:14
Let's hope so! Seems unlikely to be honest but would be great!
Don't beleive for a minute
Drinking on a tuesday tut tut
Seems another one of those all the bits add up stories so let's make it up! Eg Benitez plus they've had Reina and been linked with agger/Lucas and were selling a striker
Please let this be true!
08 Jul 2014 20:51:40
Hi eds. Just saw that LFC are in talks with Napoli with regards to Gonzalo Higuain with the possibility of selling them Lucas and Reina. What are you thoughts about this. Any truth? Thanks in advance.
{Ed002's Note - IF it has been on Twitter it will be true - else, Liverpool are building debt.}

Evening all,
Not remotely Liverpool related but just turned Brazil match on after 25 mins. I guess I missed quite a bit of action. On a more Liverpool related note Lovren will be announced as a Liverpool player at the start of next week.
Liverpool are pretty confident that everything is in place just tying up the loose ends.
Cheers
08 Jul 2014 20:34:16
Do we have any interest in Lukaku? He doesn't want to go to Spain, mou doesn't seem to fancy him, would think Chelsea would prefer not to sell him to arsenal/tottenham, PL acclimated,
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea would have no problem who they sell him to. Liverpool have Lambert - they won't look to RL.}
Yeah lambert is the perfect replacement for Suarez, and all we need to do so, :/
08 Jul 2014 19:49:26
Hi Eds,
Could anyone let me know what is going to happen to Memphis Depay this summer? Surely he will not stay with PSV right? Also do Liverpool hold any interest?
Thanks in advance
{Ed002's Note - PSV's Memphis Depay has attracted interest from a number of clubs with Manchester City, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Spurs, Marseille and Manchester United looking to see of a deal can be struck this summer. Marseille have signed Batshuayi and dropped their interest in Depay although Spurs are pushing PSV for discussions and Manchester City has made it very clear to his representatives that they are capable of fulfilling a negotiation free transfer at short notice.}
Would love to see him at Liverpool. Excellent prospect. Can imagine him wanting to link up with Van Gaal though.
08 Jul 2014 19:38:07
Despite the Sanchez loss to Arsenal, Liverpool have now inquired about the availability of Mandzukic. Expect an offer to Bayern by end of week.
{Ed002's Note - He will have moved by then.}
To Atlético Ed?
{Ed002's Note - Yes.}
08 Jul 2014 19:20:19
What has changed that seven months ago we were trying like,,,,,, to sign Kono now we appear to have no interest at all and appear to be prepared twice as much for markovic
{Ed002's Note - I really don't know but no contact since January.}
08 Jul 2014 23:40:58
And a figure under what we had been quoted as offering mind boggling.
08 Jul 2014 19:10:27
Just a thought for the Banter page:
We could offer Willian more game time than he's getting at Chelsea. Now that we've got more funds, and given that the player wanted Liverpool in the first place, any of you think he would make a decent signing?
{Ed002's Note - It is no going to happen.}
Either your joking or a chelsea fan.
08 Jul 2014 16:37:10
Ed2 you mentioned about us being interested in Huntelaar. What's the situation with his club and would it be tough getting him from Schalke?
{Ed002's Note - Huntelaar has a year remaining on his contract and is keen to play for another top flight team that gives him the chance of a league title. CSKA, Galatasaray and Liverpool have shown some level of recent interest in Huntelaar - although the word of interest from Liverpool came from an Arsenal scout when I asked about any interest from Arsenal. The player himself could opt to sign a new one year deal which Schalke want, sign a pre-contract with a non-German side in January or run down his contract and seek a hefty signing on fee next summer.}
08 Jul 2014 14:33:05
eds do we have any interest in filip kostic from groningem? he was their best player last year, one of the best in holand. or dusan tadic?
{Ed002's Note - (a) No. (b) Tadic has moved to Southampton.}
If he has moved to Southampton, doesn't that mean were In pole position to sign him?
08 Jul 2014 08:41:47
Morning EDds & reds,
Jus a quick one for Ed002 if she about?
Do you think we will read or hear the actual fee for ls7 or will it jus be undisclosed? I only ask this because yesterday I read somewhere it was 62.7m now today in the paper it sayin the hold up in the deal is lfc want a major part of the 75m upfront? I know you don't like discussing finances & think that a very good idea as people get very confused, myself included. Iam not asking you to give us the actual transfer fee of suarez jus do you think we will see it somewhere?
P.s why do clubs mostly do transfers with undisclosed transfer fees, always bothered me that one.
Thanks
Kj
{Ed002's Note - There are no undisclosed fees just fees the club don't want to talk to the press about - what makes all of this talk a nonsense is the lack of a currency in posts.}
08 Jul 2014 19:26:29
any truth in yaya toure link
08 Jul 2014 19:40:53
I heard it was going to be paid in sheckles
08 Jul 2014 20:42:16
With the unrest that yaya toure is apparently feeling the daily express think we may go for him, I doubt we could afford that deal, but any legs eds?
08 Jul 2014 18:04:54
A couple of weeks ago Ed001 said he wasn't sure if Sunderland had actually bid for Borini or not, can anyone update us on his situation please Eds? I've been operating under the assumption that a good offer would be accepted and another striker would be signed, is that not the case? Is he looking like staying at the moment?
Thanks a lot & congrats on adding the avatar option. :)
{Ed001's Note - they are not keen on the asking price mate, it looks likely it will drag on.}
08 Jul 2014 15:05:00
Hi Eds, I was wondering if you've heard any updates about Dele Ali? Do you think we stand a reasonable chance and if so, would you see him being loaned back for a season or incorporated into our first team?
Cheers
{Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware there is no updates to give.}
Thanks Ed
We need to focus on the likes of Seyi Ojo who will be the next Pogba.
08 Jul 2014 14:05:55
Hearing again that LFC might be looking at Loic Remy. Have you heard anything Ed's?
{Ed001's Note - nope sorry.}
To be honest he'd be a good shout. 14 PL goals last season. In his prime, plays right, left and centre and experience of the league. Not sure what sort of character he is but he's always carried a threat when I've seen him.
08 Jul 2014 15:12:58
Contrary to what I had been initially told, Sanchez is now dead in the water. His wife does not want to live in Liverpool. This is already being reported by the papers I believe, so actually nothing new.
Bertrand will be coming in, as will Origi. Funnily enough, not once had Markovic mentioned to me.
08 Jul 2014 15:41:10
Thanks man.
Sanchez is dead in the water? Did he forget his armbands when he went for a swim
There should be time to resuscitate him! Get the man to a hospital!
I can believe that quite easily, the 2 cheap players we get the others, we don't bother with
Cheap doesn't necessarily mean bad, have a bit of faith, there's plenty of time for signings. Brendan knows what he's doing.
Jog on Norton you nay sayer. You think Lallana was cheap? Lovren & Markovic look like happening + Can, Lambert, Origi = £90 million odd pounds spent with 7 weeks of transfer window remaining. What the hell do you want!? I'm not even going to dignify your "we don't bother with" words, complain to Mrs. Sanchez if you're unhappy.
08 Jul 2014 15:03:17
Ed's not Liverpool related but can you tell me if Inter were actually interested in Tom Ince
{Ed001's Note - they were.}
08 Jul 2014 15:24:40
i am guessing his dad demanding this and that for his son put a spanner in the works.
Well then they need to sack the scouts how did they think he will fit his head though the door
08 Jul 2014 10:42:05
Eds
Are porto still looking to secure the services of Suso or has that ship sailed now?
Id love to see the lad get a chance next season along with Texeira, two very exciting prospects surley knocking on the door now?
Do you know what BR plans are for him now? Sell him, player swop, loan or has he now decided to give him a chance? He was of course back at training yesterday
Thanks in advance
{Ed001's Note - they are still interested, but a deal is looking unlikely now.}
08 Jul 2014 15:17:17
Would love to see Suso get a chance this season!
Do you still expect him to leave
{Ed002's Note - He wants to go for game time.}
Thanks for reply
08 Jul 2014 10:11:03
Eds has any interest in tello gone now from lfc? Do any of the eds expect him to move if so where is looking likely?
{Ed001's Note - he is likely to move on, but it seems our interest has gone for now.}
08 Jul 2014 09:46:03
Ed's what's the situation with Konoplyanka? Is he available? I really think he could be a real star for us. Is there a possibility we can go back in for him?
{Ed001's Note - he is available, but I don't expect us to go back for him now, we have moved on, for now at least.}
08 Jul 2014 13:45:58
Someone today was saying West Ham are putting in a bid for him
Would be good if we could get Konoplyanka, he's proven at international level too and for £10/12m would add great depth to Liverpool.
08 Jul 2014 13:11:38
Good afternoon everyone.
Do LFC have any interest in Ricardo Rodriguez the Switzerland L/B. He really does seem to be an excellent talent.
Here's hoping.
08 Jul 2014 09:11:43
Eds do you think lovren deal can be done? He definatly seems set on lfc, if the quotes are to be believed? Also do the eds have any idea about possible left backs or other defenders? I'm hoping Bertrand and caulker were lazy journalism or last resort options, don't think they're really the quality we need.
{Ed001's Note - Lovren seems to be the only player being chased for centre half, we were never in for Caulker, just lazy journalism because he played for Rodgers in the past. I have no idea if a deal can be done, depends on how determined Southampton are to hold on to him.
The left back issue has been done to death on here already, Bertrand is an option.}
Moreno is stil an option for LB according to the Echo as we have agree the fee but not the structure of the payments.
08 Jul 2014 08:57:38
Hey eds, do we have any interest still in Lars Bender? With Lucas looking like he is heading out the door, we need atleast one more midfielder to fill the void.
Thanks in advance.
{Ed001's Note - I believe we are not looking for a central midfielder at the moment.}
We have a holding midfielder, Emre Can bro, he is a special talent and will shine next to hendo this season
Ed if Lucas was to leave do you think we would look to add another cm? would leave us a bit short if Gerrard or Hendo got injured imo.
{Ed001's Note - no, it would not be likely, not this window anyway.}
Leave us a bit short? Emre Can and even Lallana can play in the more attacking role with Henderson/Allen behind.
08 Jul 2014 10:45:04
has seydou doumbia been looked at or got any interest by LFC or any clubs?
08 Jul 2014 13:29:55
The guy who has been claimed to be 40 by others?
08 Jul 2014 09:36:00
Morning Eds,
I hear that Jose Enrique is back in training now, are we still looking to sell him if possible?
{Ed001's Note - yes.}
08 Jul 2014 13:30:42
I think he will stay for another year.
08 Jul 2014 08:40:35
Good morning
Question for Ed001 if you are about mate
How serious is our ineterest in Huntelarr?
Has there been any communication between the clubs and agents over the possibility of a transfer?
I personally don't rate him and he will be 31 by the time the season kicks off
In regards to Sanchez, has a fee and terms between Barca and Arsenal actually been agreed now? Is it true Man CIty have become interested, and have LFC given up on a possible transfer 100% now (seperate to the LS Sale) or is there aglimmer of hope?
I know a lot has ben written recently, but only from red top rags and ssn who only seem to copy and paste each othere rubbish anyway
Thanks in advance Eds
{Ed001's Note - Huntelaar is only one option, we didn't get him initially and took Lambert instead, as he offers more in terms of all round play. Now we are keeping tabs as a possibility depending on getting other targets in first. There has only been a question of his availability, as far as I am aware there has been no actual move for him.
I am with you, I don't rate him, but he is seen as a different kind of partner for Sturridge or Lambert, depending on injuries and form. Personally I would rather look elsewhere, he was terrible at Madrid, struggled badly considering the players he had feeding him chance after chance.
It is agreed between Barca and Arsenal, but City were talking to them over the weekend and we could still make a deal as well. It would then be left to the lad to choose where he goes. It does seem extremely unlikely we will though.}
Ed001 you mention other targets, is this other forward targets other than Markovic and Origi? If so who would your preferred choice be out of the other targets, I myself have never rated Huntelaar except from a season or so back when he averaged a goal each game he hasn't ever shown the work rate or desire he should.
{Ed001's Note - I don't have any preferred choice from them mate, only player I would like to add is Sanchez.}
08 Jul 2014 12:44:08
I really rate Huntelaar, think he's a great player. Umnfortunately, I don't think he'd enjoy playing how we play - too must responsibility around the pitch
Would negredo be an option from city? He does have an eye for goal and I read he may be surplus to requirements, especially if city get Sanchez.
I think most people are of the opinion that we need a good replacement for Suarez. Lambert will be a very good backup, aspas may be going elsewhere, borini perhaps isn't Liverpool quality just now and may move on, origi is probably for the future and markovic is a winger.
Fingers crossed anyway.
My other worry though is the amount of players coming in, which may upset the balance of the team. Eg. Spurs.
Liverpool can't win though can they? If they don't get players in to deal with the amount of football we are going to play, they get slated, but if they do, then we all start worrying about the amount of new players.
Hi Ed, I agree and appreciate all what you are saying as the Sanchez saga been done to death
But is there any possibility that we pay more to get him as I do not want to see us struggling this season just because we do not have a top goal scorer as we need one
{Ed001's Note - nope.}
We still have the 2nd top scorer from last season in the PL, do we not? And with the addition of Lambert and Lallana, 5 of the top 20 goal scorers from last season (more than any other team)?
08 Jul 2014 00:44:15
Eds is there any chance we could sign firmino
{Ed002's Note - No.}
08 Jul 2014 01:59:14
Ed is leandro damio still an option for us to replace suarez or what about luis muriel?
{Ed001's Note - I didn't know he was ever an option to replace Suarez.}
08 Jul 2014 08:29:42
What happened to that guy? Hadn't been following him at all but from what I saw a few years ago and considering Brazil's options, I was surprised he wasn't in their squad. Has he really dropped off?
He really lost form this past season
What do you guys think of luis muriel as the guy to replace suarez
Luis Muriel? You mean the guy who last season only managed 4 starts for Udinese last season? Think he might have some fitness and form issues to address before we consider that one.
08 Jul 2014 01:55:13
Hello Ed(s)
This is the period of the year when so many millions of peple are 'involved' in the management of their beloved teams. I am no exception! Been pondering about a good replacement for LS. I thought for a long time and came up with these names:Alvaro Morata, Jese Rodriguez, guisepe rossi
Have we any interest in these guys?
{Ed001's Note - no, no and no. Not as things stand.}
08 Jul 2014 01:32:25
I was talking to a fellow scouser today, who has a good job at MK Dons. Apparently, Dele Alli has offers from 7 PL teams, but no one has matched their valuation as yet. He also said Liverpool would be his preferred destination.
Hi ChiefScout, did they give any idea of what the valuation is? Are we one of the 7 bidders do you know?
Cheers
6 of the top 7 plus Newcastle, and yes, Liverpool are one. No idea what finances involved mate.
07 Jul 2014 20:53:13
hi edd any idea who is in the running to replace Louie Suarez if the Belgium kid we bought goes back on loan?
cheers.
{Ed002's Note - Huntelaar.}
I think Klaas is Class
Cheers;.
I thought ed001 said we weren't in for huntelaar? Very different players for me. huntelaar is similar to lambert and at 30 isn't what I would call a Suarez replacement
Or Torres, or Clint Dempsey.
08 Jul 2014 08:26:57
I may be supping a glass of lager as I say this, therefore lack of judgement may be my escape clause, but I do support this idea. Yes, we do have players in this position, but for depth, experience and reputation for scoring goals across European leagues, I believe Huntelaar to be a very professional consideration.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Tottenham said about Roberto Soldado last year. I mean seriously, Huntelaar? Are you kidding me?
07 Jul 2014 20:19:03
Ed's already read the posts and used the search function but haven't found anything new. so could u please tell me what the current situation regarding rojo is. are we interested and who all are intrested in him?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Back burner.}
