I understand that a bid has been made for Turan, the offer is approximately €19 million and I am unsure of the club.

I believe it is Arsenal but heard Liverpool may start to pursue him in the coming days.

Anticipation is the bid will be rejected.

Eds you say Shaqiri isn't one if the players Bayern are looking to sell. Who are they may I ask?

Gustavo? Badstuber? Contento? Are there any others?

Gustavo would be a truly incredible signing, if only we had interest. Maybe in a swap deal for Suarez :)

{Ed002's Note - Shaqiri was not one of the players that they were looking to sell. There was some talk of a loan to Hamburg.

Ribery was available but there was a difficulty in selling the player and it was agreed that a new deal would be offered - which he accepted. He will likely leave next year. Badstuber was on the list but a further injury makes a move much less likely. Gomez has gone to Fiorentina. Pizarro was offered a new deal to provide cover until the expected arrival of Lewandowski. Robben, Boateng, Van Buyten, Contento, Luiz Gustavo and Tymoshchuk are available and could all be leaving.}

What are Chelsea doing with KDB? He played really well for Bremen last year, consistently outperforming Schurrle who they have signed and now they sign this Ginkel player who occupies the same position.

Have to be honest and question where he will be, would absolutely love Liverpool to sign him if he wants to leave due to no game time.

Any interest from any team? I think I saw Dortmund were interested? {Ed002's Note - Dortmund and Leverkusen are interested in KDB but he is staying at Chelsea this coming season.}

Hi Ed, been looking at posts over last few days and nobody has asked this question so I was wondering if you know.

What is currently happening with Suarez, obviously very very likely to leave but are Liverpool currently actively seeking a buyer or are they simply waiting for an approach or has any team made an approach?

I imagine that we are actively seeking a buyer then that could decrease value but at the same time the longer that goes without a buyer must also affect his price in a negative fashion? Also do you anticipate Aspas signing by next week as he is talking as if everything is done?

Thanks, {Ed002's Note - Liverpool are aware of the interest of five clubs and they are aware that at least other one club that is not interested. They will be expecting offers and proposals and it will be just like any other transfer. I cannot say when any deal for Aspas will conclude but I suspect it shall soon. There is an issue with another agent saying he has a claim on the deal - this is actually not uncommon at all. But they will figure it out.}

People are complaining about not having enough strikers or goals in the team.

We have sold the goals of Shelvey, Downing and loaned Borini; that isn't even ten league goals.

We will have a full season of Sturrudge which is potentially 15-20 goals. Moses will add 5-10 goals likewise with Aspas. I can see Hendo improving further from last year and if Suarez comes back and gives 100% he can easily get 15-20 goals like Studge.

Kolo and Sakho will also add a much larger threat to the opposition from set pieces. And with Johnson injured we won't have an attacking right back who either cuts onto his left or loses the ball so Kelly can hopefully stay fit.

That's not mentioning the creativity that we have added with Coutinho, Aspas and Moses.

Plus we have heavily improved our defence, potentially the best in the league with Kolo, Sahko and a rejuvenated Skrtel. Plus Mignolet will get us 10 points at a minimum.

We should be nearly 20 points better off and in contention for top 4.

What this transfer window showed most is how a transfer window could work in the future regarding season long loan deals.

Expect with the financial fair play to see the much more often in the future.

We have Cissohko and Moses with Borini out on loan. Arsenal have Viviano and were trying desperately hard to get Ba. Lukaku went to Everton and Unuted nearly signed Coentrao.

The reasons these will be more common is that the club can get a fee and potentially the player will perform well and either increase in value or become a first team player.

If Cissohko is a success then we will sign him which is a no risk way of signing players.

I remember a few years ago Napoli loaned Cavani from Palermo with a option to buy if 12m. After having an incredible time the 12m was a steal when he could have commanded 30 million to another club.

Loans are no risk deals.

To say Sahko isn't a 'marquee' signing is blasphemous to say the least. He is a top quality, champions league quality, young, hungry, from a top team and comes with a large transfer fee.

Of course he is a 'marquee' signing; unless in the Oxford definition of 'marquee' signing includes "Must be Brazilian and an Attacker".

{Ed002's Note - He moved in with #WonderDogSparky yesterday.}

Started the window with Mkhrtryan and we seemed the only team interested until Dortmund bid and got him.

A month later we found a new player who was available for a similar price. Maybe different styles as Mk was more of a central player and Willian a left sided player but another club were more willing to pay more; than an already inflated price.

We don't have another month, under two weeks but there are in my opinion players in a similar to smaller price range available that I hope the club look into.

Turan is the most similar to Willian in that he is left sided and able to play in the centre as well as being a fan. He is also available this summer. Seemingly nobody else has serious interest ATM so I hope we pursue him.

Another player who I could see us signing would be Griezmann, 2 years ago he was an incredible player, last year he was still very good but outshone at Sociedad by Illiaramendi, Inigo Martinez and Ruben Pardo. Sociedad would probably sell for a similar price as Turan; £18-22 million and would suit our system.

Players I really would like Liverpool to avoid are Konoplyanka, Yarmolenko and Dzsdudszak( Good attempt?) as they aren't good enough. The Ukranian league isn't the greatest, Mk was a solid prospect due to being so far ahead breaking records and such. Yarm and Kono aren't breaking records and both have a ceiling or max ability level of a Lennon or Walcott; as well as being overvalued.

The Hungarian just simply doesn't suit us, he prefers to play as an out and out winger getting in lots of crosses; would fit in at United but not in our system which requires the ability to come inside or the craft to work an impossible ball Tia striker like Coutinho or Aspas can.

Any thoughts Eds on where we will look to next? Imagine all of these have been addressed. {Ed001's Note - I can't see past Turan myself, he is pushing himself forward again, we have spoken to his club, but I am not going to get my hopes up.}

Willian
Siquira
Sahko


That is some football manager shizzle right there.
