Liverpool Rumours Archive May 10 2014

I had confirmation of a few players the that Liverpool scouts have been to watch during the course of the last 2 seasons. One of the names is Alex Telles, a Brazilian, 21 year old, Left back currently playing at Galatasaray in Turkey. He only moved there last January but apparently he's one to watch out for this Summer.

Another Brazilian, Rodrigo Ciao, a 21 year old Central Defender/Defensive Midfielder is also a player that has been watched at São Paulo numerous times. Liverpool did make an approach in January but negotiations broke down. It may be too early for both these players and they may well end up in Italy or Portugal but I'd still keep your Ear to the Ground.

Also I want to add I don't think Liverpool will pay over £16M for Adam Lallana. I'd be very surprised if an agreement was made between Liverpool and Southampton for him this Summer.

Ciao and telles ---- sounds like something from school?

Lallana will be worth 20 mill and we will sign him soon I think.

Lallana, according to a newspaper, will sign for Liverpool within the next week for a fee in the region of £20m

Has to be around 20mill as bournemouth get 25% sell on fee when saints took him at age of 12

Any chance of holger badstuber be a perfect partner for sakho next season? Agger out badstuber in. I know that may not be popular but he hasn't done it for me this season
Cheers

Tbh, we've conceded more goals whenever Agger didn't play. I like Badstuber. But I don't want Agger to leave. But after reading Carra's comments about Rodgers not being the biggest fan of Dagger, I'm begining to think that, he's on his way out.

The same Badstuber who has missed pretty much the entire last 2 years of football through injury?

If Agger has not done it for you this season, how can you suggest Badstuber who hasn't played for 2 years?

Ed I've heard Jose Enrique is wanted by Sunderland, is it likely he'll leave this summer? Especially if we want a new left back.

{Ed001's Note - he is up for grabs.}

Hi Eds Anyone looking at Kevin Volland who plays in the Right Wing for Hoffenheim and also Florian Thauvin also Right Wing for Marsellie in France. Would be good acquisitions for Liverpool

{Ed002's Note - Volland won't be moving this summer and Marseille are not looking to sell Thauvin having turned down a couple of bids from EPL sides.}

Ed02, I saw you say earlier that Lallana is 'open to a move'. Does that mean open to a move in general, or open to a move to Liverpool? Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - I understand he wants to move on with his career and would like to see what offers are available. I would think that Liverpool can press ahead and make the transfer happen as long as they make an acceptable offer.}

, we can then expect a lengthy transfer saga ending in Lallana joining Spurs.

Jokes.

That could happen. Or Chelsea may just price him away in the last minute(e.g: Willian, Salah). But I feel he may go to United.

Us and acceptable offer don't always go together. But if we've learnt from previous mistakes then hopefully we can get him. got to say I love lallana as a player even before we were interested so if we could get him that would be amazing

I imagine an acceptable offer will be a lot more than the £20m being thrown about in the press ed?
Loads of extras and agent fees and the like as well.

Ed02 any idea what sort of valuation Southampton have for Lallana

{Ed002's Note - We don't want to discuss money.}

If he wants to move on to progress then spuds is not that move, Chelsea would b for the money and to play a bit part as they r already looking at shipping midfielders out n players who have arrived haven't had a decnt run despite all the games the club played in such as cups, league n CL, Man U would b attractive due to the clubs status n clear desire not to repeat this years performance but they don't have a manager in place and that creates uncertainty plus again the midfield isn't the immediate problem area. That leaves us, with a great visionary manager, with CL to be part of for the first time for most of the players and an opportunity to nail down a place in a team on the up. We are after an attacking forward and my choice, based on what I have seen of the players we have interest in would be lallana or kono but that deal is obviously complex.

Now that's the tricky part-making an acceptable offer(just kidding)
Hope we don't do another salah

Hi eds, are Fernando and menez free agents in the summer? If they are do you know who they will likely join for next season? Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect Fernando will complete his move to Manchester even after agreeing a new contract with Porto. Fiorentina are still pushing the hardest for Menez.}

hey ed do we have any interest in André Ayew looks like a decent player like or am I just being stupid? thanx guys Keep up the great work. :)

{Ed002's Note - l'OM are more than happy to sell Andre Ayew and if anyone makes an acceptable offer to both the club and player then he will move on. Knee surgery blocked any chance of a January move but he is now back fit and in the team. Last summer saw some interest from Newcastle, Inter Milan, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Dynamo Kyiv. Liverpool also enquired after a guideline price for the player. Right now there has been no firm interest in the player raised with Marseille by any of these clubs - but Napoli do have an offer on the table. The player has suggested he would like to move on to a "better" side and cited Chelsea, Real Madrid or Barcelona as ideal destinations - he will be waiting a long time for that.

If I remember correctly, a while ago, one of the ed's said we have some sort of interest in Jack Cork. Is this still true? Or has the interest dropped?
Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - I believe he is no longer available due to getting back into their team, so our interest has dropped for now.}

Hello eds,

Great work yet again, hope yall are exicited for a busy sunmer. I wanted to get your opinions on Andre Hahn and Leon Goretzka. I've watched a good amount of Bundesliga games this season, they have both progressed really well and are maybes for the WC. Any interest in them from LFC or others?

Thanks again

{Ed001's Note - sorry, I have no idea.}
