Hey Eds, Love the site, on it at least twice a day! I was just wondering do you think Erikssen is on Liverpools radar and would he be interested in joining us? Personally I do think we would have the upper hand over the likes of Tottenham if he came to the realisation that we are building a young team that will gel very well in the next couple of years! Also with you saying Arda could be on his way out do you think Liverpool would spent 18 - 20 Mil on one player considering they most likely won't have a huge transfer kitty? Thanks would appretiate your toughts :) {Ed002's Note - Search engine please - all done done to death.}


His preference would be spurs over us not the other way around!

HI Eds,
Do you know what the truth is with Xabi Alonso. As the Express says that we are going in for him in the summer as he has declined a new deal with Real Madrid. {Ed002's Note - The likely summer departure of Galatasaray's Selcuk Inan has prompted interest in Xabi Alonso from the Turkish side.}

Eds as Mancini is likely to be replaced in the summer and the new manager will bring in his own players do you the think that John Guidetti will be made available as he is a very good young striker and would get a chance at Liverpool unlike M. Cty. {Ed002's Note - No.}

Hello Eds, hope all is well! Do you know if any clubs in particular have shown an interest in Ander Herrera?

Many Thanks {Ed002's Note - Not right now.}

Odds on Griezmann as a possible target for summer eds? {Ed002's Note - You are clutching at straws.}


Yea I know.


Shut it 002 {Ed002's Note - Seems the abusive fans are back - sorry - but thenext twenty posts are being deleted. Liverpool abusers hurting Liverpool fans again.}

Eds,
Need your opinion on who is our target for Defensive midfield cover?
Manuel Iturra on LFC watchlist? Any other names?

Heard that rodgers only given 25m in the summer + player sale. Is it true? Or is t depend on where we finish in the EPL table?

thnx much.


Kamal Adli. {Ed002's Note - I would not describe Iturra as a provider of defensive midfield cover - and I would perhaps not hold your breath about his arrival. To be honest if people don't think that Connor Coady, of whom much was expected, is able to provide cover at that position then the club should look to move him on. A lot of the fans just want to see money spent regardless - perhaps this is one case where they should look closer to home.}


Hello Ed,
I think in this case people realise Connor Coady is not good enough. I think it is good to look at the acadamy at time of need but you really need to buy when some position is a necessity.
For instance I really reckon Ryan McLaughlin will make it at RB and Robinson at LB so no point in wasting money there but really don't think Adam Morgan will make it at LFC and the sooner LFC move him on the better.


Connor did look solid vs Anzhi, but I don't know much more about him except that he's consistent in our youth squad. Can anyone shed some light on him? Sell or promote? I'd want to see Ryan Mclaughlin given a shout at RB and Wisdom at CB for cup games next season. Think they both have a future at LFC if they can make the step up.


What about Kelly? He possesses at least some of the attributes admirable of a DM and he is certainly young enough to attain the others. He's composed, strong, tall, a good defender (he's a natrual CB) and has fairly good feet.

Thoughts? Ed?


Coady looks too lightweight but unless he is given a chance we will not know if he is up for it. I think it is a position that we need to strengthen as when Lucas don't play we really do struggle, i'd like us to try for Gustavo, Alonso or Cambiasso as those 3 can challenge not just Lucas but for a 1st team place. i'd go for Alonso if I could.

I do think that we will benefit from the youth system next year as McLaughlin, Robinson, Wisdom, Kelly & Sama should provide cover for our current 1st team defense, Adojan, Texieria, Ibe, Sinclair, Ngoo, Suso, Sterling & Yesil should also provide cover, I am really looking forward to seeing some of the youngsters make the step up to the 1st team.

Ed2 is spot on we should atleast look at home for players who will be used only as cover, no player is going to sign only to sit on bench.


I disagree. BR has said he needs 2 players per position and a youngster as cover.
With Lucas injured we have had not like for like replacement. This has led to Allen or Hendo covering for Lucas wich has disrupted balance of midfield. If Cody was good enough then he would of got some games with Lucas injury and now Allen out for some time.

We definitely need another squad player for Lucas, although it is not priortity.

It's even more surprising that sahin was not played in his true position and then gets moved halfway through a rumoured loan that's cost us 4 million quid?!

Any interest in Shawcross from us or other clubs, we've been linked in the past and he is a Liverpool fan himself as I know him and his brother from childhood, constantly over looked by England but I think he's been decent for all the years Stoke have been in the Prem {Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any interest in Shawcross right now.}


Thought he was a utd fan? love to see him play a few games for england though right on I really like to see an england page I know there's an international page eds but still
love the site


No mate he played for the academy and youth but he was a Liverpool fan saw him wih his kid couple of seasons back buying it the kit that's when Dalglish was linked to buying him aswell, he's better than Steven Taylor who's been called up no doubt about that

hey ed 02! are these rumors of Liverpool weighing up a move for diego capel true? your valuable answer will be appreciated! {Ed002's Note - Liverpool aproached Sporting about taking Jeffren on loan in January. Both Swansea and Braga have shown an interest Diego Capel whow will likely be available after what has been a pretty torid time.}


Capel wouldn't be a bad option if we could get a loan to buy deal, would certainly be better than Jeffren.

Hello eds.

Ive been watching Maya Yoshida ( spelling ) this season and he has really impressed me. Strong, smart and fast, what's the possibility for him going to LFC?

Best regards WikingRedNor {Ed002's Note - Given he has only just moved to Southampton and Liverpool has shown no interest in him, about zero right now.}

With the eds saying bayern have a huge war chest and a new manager coming in the summer, obviously there is likely to be a lot of incoming transfers. Surely they will have to let players go, who do the eds think are likely to leave and who may be of interest to Liverpool or other English clubs? {Ed002's Note - Ribery, Pizarro, Gomez, Robben, Boateng, Van Buyten, Badstuber, Contento, Luiz Gustavo and Tymoshchuk could all be leaving. Liverpool has not shown interest in any of these and I would not expect any to move to Liverpool.}


Luiz Gustavo would be the pick of the bunch for me as we desperately need cover for Lucas and he can more than provide competition as he can cover various positions which is what Rodgers might be on the look out for.


Holger Badstuber would suit us at the moment young and top quality, suspect City and others will be looking at him however. Any interest from other clubs in Ribery Eds? {Ed002's Note - There is a little interest right now - it will become clearer in the summer.}

Those players won't be cheap, I'm afraid they are simply out of our reach.

Ed002 what do u make of reports that we are going to try and sign victor wanyama? the mail reports we have been watching him all season {Ed002's Note - Sounds like nothing more than speculation. Wanyama will be moving in the summer after a summer move to Arsenal failed to materialise last year and QPR had an offer rejected. Both Manchester United and, particularly, Arsenal remain interested in Wanyama but were reluctant to pay the sort of figure Celtic were looking for in January. Given that Begiristain has hinted that Manchester City are considering making a bid for the player as well Arsenal may have a battle on their hands. I would say that Manchester United is the least likely destination as they are pushing elsewhere with their interest.}


Add him to someone we should be looking at but aren't lol


 

 

19 Mar 2013 09:29:03
Any chance of an offer for ilkay gundogan? Bit like Alonso just significantly younger {Ed002's Note - Gundogan will likely be sold in the summer and there is interest from Rubin Kazan and Manchester City.}


Would be a class addition! Don't see it happening but one can hope. ha ha.

Nico


Once again would be a very good player as cover for Lucas or 1st teamer in a 2 man midfield

We have had scouts at Nuremberg games watching Japanese midfielder Kiyotake and all reports have been impressive. From what I understand, Henderson will be sold and Kiyotake will be a cheaper replacement.


Would rather sell allen then henderson
