Heard that Brendan Rodgers has had discussions with the owners over January funds and has already drawn up a list of players he's looking at. Unfortunately he isn't going to be millions to work with, so expect more to go in January, with poss. another 1 or 2 in. Downing will definitely leave, as will Joe Cole. Dani Pacheco is another possible departure. In we are looking at Gary Hooper, purely because he won't command a huge fee and knows where the net is while Angelo Ogbonna is someone else Brendan likes, with him fitting his centre-back quota. We're also looking for a new left-back to replace Enrique, but I think that search could go until the end of the season.


Ogbonna could fit into left back as could Agger & young Robinson. Hooper rumours seem to be gathering pace and as you said it will be a small fee around £5m, i expect 1 of Sturridge, Bent Or Walcott as 2 are out of contract in the summer and the other is available.

BigD


It would be a big mistake ta sell dani pacheco he needs a run of games its plain ta see he is a confidence i wud play him on the wing as his balance is unbelievable


No Llorente?


Are you stupid 5million for hooper when we turned down 7mil good 1 try 12million then celtic will concider


Why won't Hooper command a huge fee? because he plays in Scotland? Liverpool couldn't afford Hooper right now, players who score in Europe are expensive and he will be no different and he won't leave a team in the Champions League to play for a team that's not

Eds - Seems to be some paper speculation lately about Tom Ince and Man U. Do the Eds know if Liverpool had any sell on clauses with his transfer to Blackpool or even a buy-back option? {Ed001's Note - none that I am aware of.}


Why would you want to buy him back good riddance to him and his dad.


There was no buy back we were happy to get him off the books.


My son trains at carrington every Friday night with the local schools (I refuse to attend cos of it being at Utd) one dad has told me that he has seen Tom Ince there a couple of weeks ago!


18 Oct 2012 10:59:45
IF true=Another transfer cock up! Why no sell on Clause? Heard him and his Dad a pain over progress and cash. But have we bit off nose?-Another fine mess

Question for eds,

A while back there seemed to be interest in David Texeira. Do you think there is still interest? He seems to be off to a slow start with with FC Groningen this year.

Thanks.

Lee
YNWA {Ed001's Note - I believe we are monitoring his progress this season.}

Ed002 do you see negredo or navas as options for jan as they have both been quoted as saying they may have to leave due to the financial problems at seville? {Ed002's Note - I understand Negredo could be sold if a significant bid is made. There is a chance that Arsenal may look to Negredo as an alternative to Adrian Lopez to avoid becoming involved with any "bidding war" with another club. Liverpool could well become interested if a replacement for a departing player is needed and the money is available, but I suspect the summer might be a time when that could happen. Navas, no I don't think so.}


17 Oct 2012 18:57:45
People actually still ask about Navas?...


Yes because his homesickness isn't the problem it once was


Not 2 months ago, They were still talking about his home sickness and crippling anxiety... So how would you know sir?


Navas? If you can cure his acute, severe homesickness, why not?

Hi edds, my cousin works for the FAI (that's the Irish FA). He was on the beer with shane long after the game against faroe islands and shane let it slip that he was Liverpool bound soon. Please post this its not BS. BTW he would be the goal machine we need. YNWA dubred.


I doubt any player in their right mind would comment on a transfer to another club half way through a season..... once that would admit the club going too would have ''Tapped'' the player up!!


I keep hearing this nonsense rumour, just tell me one thing, why would West Brom sell?

Chris in Tamworth


If we sign him it will be even LONGER till were at the top


Absolute bull....was watching the match last night. the irish team were flying straight home after the match and bed in some hotel in dublin...so very much doubt they went on the piss by the time they got back to dub


Perhaps not. Posted by Shane Long?


Ha Shane Long he is absolutely sh!t


Don't want a player who drinks alcohol and tells people the inner workings of the club.
Good job this rumour is B**L S**T


Shane Long Goal machine? priceless


Shane Long would be a brilliant addition in my opinion but i dont think it will happen, my cousin is good friends with him and a big red and he knows nothing about a move. hopefully im wrong YNWA


How is Shane Long rubbish? He made our defence look amaturish when we played him. Good player, although i don't believe we will be looking at him anytime soon.

Afternoon Ed's and fellow Reds,

Since we've appointed Dave Fallows and Barry Hunter to head up a new scouting system, do you think they'll put forward potential names and player profiles they have put together based on players they scouted for City? Obviously we cannot compete with City in terms of transfer fees and wages and I am not stating that, I was just wondering whether they have started afresh at a new club with different ideas or would they still put forward potential targets they found at City?

Cheers all,

Ninja Skrtel {Ed001's Note - they would put forward what they already had, then they would start afresh looking for now targets based on our needs and budget.}


I did know that Barry had joined the back room staff until a few weeks ago. Hopefully he will do a good job for us.
Was a great manager the 2 times for us a Rushden & Daimonds and a lot of the players he brought in are playing at a higher level.

Hopefully should do good for us.

Nice to have you back Barry.

AFCrushdentillidie


It was easier to scout for City


Wouldnt be Suprised to see them go back to city for John Guidetti. Top talent but unlikely to get a chance there especially if they add Falcao to their list of top strikers.

Hi Eds,
Watched the Chile v Argentina game. Took particular interest in Matías Fernández (An amazing footballer). Do you know if there is any interest or has he been scouted by Liverpool.
Thanks {Ed001's Note - I remember we looked at him a while back, I mean a few years ago, maybe even Rafa's time. Not heard any more about it though since then, so I don't know if we are likely to revive our interest. He was playing for Villareal at the time, not sure if that's why I am thinking it is Rafa who was looking at him or not.}


No weren't we looking at manuel fernandes that plays for Besiktas


So what do you folks think of him (Matías Fernández) as a player. Is he as good consistently, or he just had an amazing game last night?

Thanks

Hi, eds. what are the chances of robert lewandowski. He's just the no 9 we need!

Ratan {Ed001's Note - I wish.}


 

 

17 Oct 2012 16:46:33
Ed's instead of throwing names at you would you be able to let us know who we are looking at as poss jan transfers... I know it's still very early an things can change but it would still give us an idea...

Please reply and Thankyou for all your hard work and time.

OxRED {Ed002's Note - There is certainly interest in Hooper. I think other options, as discussed, have been looked at.}


Thankyou
:-)

Ed002 any chance of dzagoev being a target in jan? {Ed002's Note - No, I would think not. He recently signed a new contract.}


If we can buy out the contract, I don't think there is any problem. {Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you mean by "buy out the contract". If the player would have wanted to leave he could have agreed a deal in the summer to leave after his contract had run out in January.}


He did well in the euros

The Sturridge rumours are true we are looking to get him on loan in Jan for the rest of the season, however Brendan is looking to sign another permanent striker in Huntelaar, Walcott or Llorente but the latter looks less likely. The owners are gambling on the Andy Carroll transfer in the summer to West Ham for 17-20 mill to use the money they don't have yet on these players.

I have also heard rumours of the club looking at Paul Robinson as GK to give competition to Reina


Paul Robinson!! Are you trying to be funny?


Why would a team let someone go on loan for the last 6 months of his contract. More likely do be a sale ... if anything..!


I would rather have Paul Robinson the full back in goal.


True, chelsea will not let a possible 12-18 million go down the drain for a 6 month loan incase Sturridge does not fit the liverpool system and leave for free.


Paul Robinson is crap. Brad Jones is a better keeper that Robinson. In fact my 4 yr old daughter is a better keeper than Robinson.


20m? West ham won't pay that for Carroll.


What are all youse on about, Paul Robinson is ex England quality


Haha playing for England is hardly a sign of quality

Hi Eds,

I see that the rumour linking us with Daniel Sturridge won't go away and stupid money up to the value of £20m is being banded around, for me I can't understand what all the fuss is about he is an average player with an attitude problem who did well in a poor team (sorry Bolton) he is a poor mans Wellbeck and i wouldn't have him either, surely there are better strikers who would become available if we were to spend anywhere near £20m!!


It won't be £20m he is out of contract in the summer it will be around £8m.


Couldn't agree more. if we want to progress we need to buy great players, not average ones that are overpriced because they are english.

the wise one


Poor man's Wellbeck? Wellbeck is only a pup himself!


 

 

17 Oct 2012 14:32:31
Hey Eds, reports are saying that we are linked with a move for Marcelo Brozovic from Dinamo Zagreb. Have you any news about this that you could tell us? {Ed002's Note - There may be interest but it is coming from his agent. The only certainty I know of is interest from Genoa.}


17 Oct 2012 15:08:40
Another agent using our clubs name to infate his players price.....


 

 

17 Oct 2012 12:17:43
Eds sorry if this has already been asked but a few sites are now reporting that we are going to try and take Daniel Sturridge on loan in Jan with a view to a permanent transfer in the summer but how long has he got on his contract is it 18 months that has been reported by The Daily Mirror or is 12 months ?

Thanks.

BigD {Ed002's Note - As far as I know it runs to June 2013.}


I hope we dont go for him

Muggitzo


Really cant see them letting him out on loan if his contract is up in June 2013.Also he`s not worth near the rumoured 20 million price tag.I wouldnt mind taking him on loan with a fixed purchase price at the end of somewhere between 10-12 million.


Id take him, if his contract runs out June 2013 then i agree he is not worth anywhere near £20m, more like £8 - £10m at best, we need a striker thats why he has been linked to us at extraordinary prices but in all truth it will be around £10m in Jan for a permanent deal.

23yrs old
English
Sell on value so fits the bill with FSG
£10m
Good business

BigD


Wouldn't have him on a free !!


 

 

17 Oct 2012 12:15:34
Afternoon Eds. Any interest from Premier League teams in Tomer Hemed? {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware. Did he play well yesterday or something?}


 

 

16 Oct 2012 23:19:35
Hi eds

Great job on the site. I had a question. have we ever looked at Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Shakhtar Donetsk? Excellent attacking mid with a great eye for a pass, and he's been banging in the goals over the past few months.

I think he would be an excellent addition to the team.

Cheers

Ray {Ed002's Note - Other clubs yes, Liverpool no.}


So according to the EDS we cant get anyone with class {Ed063's Note - Where does Ed002 say that? I bet 100 dollars you've never even heard of that player let alone watched enough of him to have a decent opinion. The other clubs may not be Barca or Real etc, they could be Villa and Birmingham. Then if we were interested you'd complain that we were looking at mid table tripe.}


17 Oct 2012 16:13:49
I find it highly funny that the people who moan at the ED's on here never leave their name or anything.

In terms of the player, I have seen him a few times, and agree with Ray that he looks a good player.

Again in relation to the 'anonymous badman', I am on this site, around 5 times a day, and have been for a very long time, and I cannot remember any ED ever suggesting we can't get anyone with class.

Your work is much appreciated ED's and Macca by myself, and most of the people on here. Unfortunately, we live in a world where a few people are *****s.

Keep up the good work

YNWA

Muzzafan


Shame that Liverpool isn't going for the player. This man is a real cracker.


Well said Ed63, Ed02 takes a ridiculous amount of unmerited abuse


 

 

16 Oct 2012 20:38:35
Any real interest in Kevin Grosskreutz Edd? {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware.}
