Hey ed's and reds,
I've just heard that Bertrand is near enough done.
Sorry if he's not the player you all want for lfc but BR knows him well and will hopefully get the best out of him. So let's get right behind the lad.
Thanks

Hey ed's and reds.
Just wondering if it's a case of lallana and shaqiri or whether it's more of lallana OR shaqiri situation?
As I just can't see where all this money is coming from especially if you add a cb (lovren) into the equation plus the imminent arrival of moreno. Obviously player sales will help but as Ed002 has taught me the transfer fee is only one part of the overall cost.
Always really appreciate any comments, thanks
YNWA

{Ed002's Note - I think it is unlikely both will move to Liverpool Deano.

And you are right about the transfer fee being part of the cost, and just to be clear that we don't get any further questions on the matter - for transfer fees, what is paid by the buying club would typically include:
(a) Transfer fee - the big number.
(b) Any levy applied by the local FA – 5% for the EPL.
(c) Tax due on the transfer fee – typically this will be VAT (at varying rates across Europe) some or all of which should be reclaimable.
(d) Agent fees – this may be to one or more agents (as an example, Liverpool have spent about £25M plus VAT on agent fees over the past three years leading to this window).
(e) Tax due on the agent fees – typically this is VAT at the local rate where the agent bills from – it is not reclaimable.
(f) Intermediary fees – this may be to one or more sponging leeches(what do you mean you have a super agent?) .
(g) Tax due on the Intermediary fees – typically this is VAT at the local rate where the Intermediary bills originates from – it is not reclaimable.
(h) Signing on fee to the player (possibly including non-reclaimable VAT if the player is VAT registered).
(i) Legal fees.
(j) VAT on legal fees which is reclaimable.
(k) Moving/relocation costs for the player.
(l) VAT on moving/relocation costs which is reclaimable.
(m) Paying up insurance costs to the selling club (sometimes waived).

What is paid by the selling club would typically include:
(a) If the player is under 24, a Solidarity contribution paid to his previous clubs responsible for his training - this is 5% of the transfer fee received.
(b) Any monies owed to the player if he did not request a transfer – again this is 5% of the transfer fee received.
(c) Any monies owed to the player in terms of his contract (typically outstanding owed wages (not future wages) and bonuses).}

henrikh mkhitaryan to have a LFC medical on Tuesday.
Deal for Ilori is due to be agreed soon.
mignolet to be finished by the end of the week.
Also Luis alberto to be signed possibly on Wed.
All very positive signing for now and the future

hey ed's and reds,
Just a few things, it would seem that lfc are going to either release or sell around 10 players.
Now after looking at who these players could be you kind of get the idea of what we need.
I would say the priority should be a CF, DCM and a RB. These would all be starting 11 players.
Then we would require another FWD, GK and a LB as backups.
So this leaves me to wonder about the need for a milner type player??
As we have can and Hendo that are similar box to box players, this seems like an odd signing.
As our Need is surely more for a DCM type player!
Also If ings is as close as some say then would it be him plus an inside forward/winger or him plus a CF??
I do like ings but only as a backup CF and due to sturridges problems if ings is second choice then he's basically our number one CF.
I think we currently need a more proven and reliable option for the second choice CF role.
As we seem to be getting linked with a lot of wingers/inside forwards, this would either suggest that we are planning for sterlings departure or looking to play one up top in the 4231 system, if the latter is the case then I would then be sceptical of trying to sign ings as well.
More questions then answers I know but I find our recruitment strategy confusing at the best of times.
Thanks for your time

Personally think we'd benefit from a CF, WF, CM, and back up GK.

CF - If interest in Son is true and attainable would be fantastic, personally higuian would be my choice but not sure if we can afford or attract him - luis adriano could be a great free!

WF - Can only see this happening if sterling or another player goes. Think a naturally wide forward would be a massive boast but have lot of players who currently play this role (even though are more suited centrally) - personal choice Konoplyanka (free)

DM - Need cover for lucas and think hendo/can are much better box to box to aid the attack. Unsure about this as weird role to fill, but kondogbia is my unrealistic choice, apparently kovavic is availbale but not seen much of him, but rumoured

GK - Rumours or Neto etc, but just think we need better back up than jones, but giving Ward a chance would be my choice.

as for RB/LB have plenty on our books and plenty who can cover.

If sterling or someone goes think a perfect summer would be:

Son, Konoplyanka, Kondogbia, and Ward being promoted would be fantastic and make us a great team that can compete.

An unrealistic summer replaces Son with Higuian - a realistic replace son with adriano and kondogbia with kovavic

Hey ed's and reds.
Firstly imo I would of thought lfc would be going for a more versatile fwd, as studge will be our main cf next season so the other fwd could get some games playing wider.
However with the speculation regarding bony maybe this suggests the the two up top with the diamond may be used a lot again this season! which could explain going for such a player! As him and studge offer different things but both offer goals. I would be interested to here ed001 opinion on the possibility of bony if possible tho? As he's always very knowledgeable on these matters.
Also I see a lot of lfc fans going on about reus! While he is a lovely footballer, I think some need to realise that sterling is getting very close to reus' standard already. I think that sterling could fill that number 7 shirt and role for many years to come and we should be very excited to see him develop further.
Thanks

Hey ed's and reds,
As I get the feeling that Mr ed001 was not a great advocate of remy!
I was just curious as to who ed001 would realistically go for as our backup striker/winger?
It's seems like lacazette might be a viable option and he certainly has the versatility required, the only worry there is how quick he can adapt and the fee.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated
Thanks

{Ed001's Note - personally I would save the money and give Ibe and Dunn etc a chance, if need be. I am just thankful we didn't get lumbered with Remy the mercenary to be honest.}

Hi ed's and reds,
So as its been mentioned on here, when luis leaves there will probably only be one more attacker added.
I may be wrong but this now seems to be markovic of benfica.
Now I know that ed001 has stated that he would like to see younger players given the chance as back up players, which I agree with btw. My only concern is the fact that sturridge is clearly made of glass and is very susceptible to injuries, which in turn seems to leave us lacking in a competent back up striker apart from lambert.
Does this concern anyone else or just me?
I think if origi was coming in this summer then my concerns would be appeased, however this is very unlikely.
Appreciate any of the ed's thoughts thanks

Hey ed's,
Obviously it has been stated that lfc are trying to get a winger in to add to the potential lallana signing.
All I wanted to know was when suarez goes do you see this adding a 3rd attacking player to our wanted list?
Always appreciate you time ed's
Thanks

Just reading the comments re defence and just thought I would add my two cents ha.
For next season I would keep sakho at lcb and have ilori at rcb and then have emre as the cb like a Baresi type sweeper/distributer.
His potential in that position is massive. Then have the team near to what is is now apart from a new dcm eg wanyama.
anyway thanks for your time.
