Ed who will sign sanchez {Ed002's Standard Response – I will try and explain what I know to be correct and what is “rumoured” about Alexis Sanchez. We know that Chelsea and Inter Milan have made unsuccessful bids, and we know that Manchester United and Barcelona have a declared interest. Juventus had previously been interested but were hoping that (a) Sanchez stayed under the radar until a deal could be struck, and (b) Udinese would look kindly on an arrangement that included some cash and several players either in exchange, on loan or in part-ownership as part of the deal. As an aside Juventus have proposed a similar deal for Javier Pastore. Anyway, there was a January meeting with Chelsea in Monaco and broad agreement was reached over the transfer before Giampaolo Pozzo said that the deal must include a loan of the player back to Udinese. Whilst Barcelona were apparently willing to agree to this until the end of the season, Pozzo proposed that whoever Sanchez moved to should allow him to be loaned back for 18 months – hence the end of any discussions. I expect that Juventus will not come back in to the picture. Although Sanchez has been watched by numerous teams, there is nothing new other than a "rumour" that Manchester City may be preparing a bid as well. They have, like Juventus, recently been knocked back in a bid for Pastore and are likely to aim their cheque book in another direction – this may well be Sanchez. I suspect that we will see a saga drag out through the summer transfer window as Pozzo puts the player on the market, takes him off the market, values him at €100M and so on. Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and Inter will all likely remain interested but could well tire of the expected drawn-out negotiations. Manchester United and Chelsea were both originally wary of the player being not quite as robust as needs be for the EPL. Perhaps Inter will get their man. Now you know as much as I do about the matter.}

Was just looking on the liverpool site on the media watch page, and saw that we are linked with matt jarvis.

now i know he is not a big name player, but i think he would be a very good player for us, better than ashley young aswell.
young comes in and out of games, and his crossing isn't always the best. jarvis is younger, consistantly in the game, got the second most crosses in the box to downing, i don't know who is faster but i think jarvis uses the ball better and would be cheaper, so less risk

what does ed and other site uses think ? {Ed002's Note - I don't know too much about Jarvis - there is interest from Newcastle and he is having a good season. Whether there is interest from Liverpool is questionable.}

Expect bids for Hazard and Sanchez by LFC. They will, however, not be joining. But at least we are showing intent in the transfer market.

I heard about Gago for 8 million in the summer, but wasnt he lined up for a last day move to man city, for 15 million .Surely if he can go for 8 million in the summer, City would offer a better wage than we could.What do you Know about the City Gago deal breakdown in January Ed? Do you rate him. I think he would be a great buy. {Ed002's Note - I think he would be an excellent buy at £8M which is about half of what Real Madrid paid for him. There is plenty of interest in him and I expect the fee will be somewhat higher. Everton, Spurs and a couple of Spanish sides seem interested. He may wait until the managerial situation at Real Madrid is resolved. A possibility though.}

Ed why don't you think we will get benzema you only gave him a 2 out of ten chance of signing cheers eds

{Ed002's Note - I disagree with Macca that it is a done deal as I know of no firm interest in the player from Liverpool at the moment. Things may change, but we don't have time to go through and justify every x/10 figure I am afraid.}

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 19:12:48
Ed- How do you feel about javier pastore? Would there be any chance of us getting him/ where do you think he would fit in? {Ed002's Note - I don't see any chance of Pastore moving to Liverpool.}

Kenny wants 6 top class signings in the summer. The kitty is 40m + whatever he gets from player sales. KK will sell Maxi, Ngog, Jovanovic, Konchesky, Poulsen, Aquilani, Soto, Insua to recoup about 30m.

With 70m, KK wants a prolific ST, 2 wingers, a left back, a creative midfielder and a defensive midfielder.

Benzema, Young, Dzsudzsak, Baines, Adam, M'Vila are currently top on the transfer list but I have no idea if we will succeed in getting them all. However all of them are currently interested in joining us. I do know that if we don't get Baines, we will attempt to sign Enrique.

The Unknown**

In addition to that, our main formation will be 4-4-2 and Meireles will be used sparingly at CM, and more as a AM and RW.

Is there still an interest of Antoine Griezmann and how would you rate him? {Ed002's Note - One of a number of decent French wingers, there may still be interest.}

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 15:41:34
Ed what are the chances out of 10 for signing these players:
Turan, hazard, sanchez, downing, adam, coentrao, hulk, mata, d.alves, m'villa, payet, young, benzema, xabi alonso.

{Ed002's Note - 3, 0, 0, 2, 8, 1, 2, 1, 0, 4, 4, 7, 3, 2}

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 14:59:01
Ed, do you know if we have been looking at Javi Martinez? I think he is ideal for the PL, and would love to see him play for us. {Ed002's Note - He good player and one of numerous central midfield players who the club have been linked with. I very much doubt that he will be moving to Liverpool this summer. Charlie Adam remains the target for such a role.}

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 14:21:00
Chelsea stalwarts John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba will all be shown the Stamford Brdige exit door this summer.
ED.can try for Lampard and Terry {Ed002's Note - I expect only one will leave - perhaps two. They will likely leave because of their age and the squad being reshaped. I somehow doubt Liverpool will be looking to raise the age of their squad.}

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 14:09:55
Ed you hear anything bout diego from wolfsburg? {Ed002's Note - Not for a while. All very quiet from the Diego front.}

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 13:56:16

Ed have chelsea stolen our target vila boas?

{Ed002's Note - Not as such. VillaS Boas was previously a Chelsea employee. He remains "in the picture" like Mourinho and might well end up back there some time soon. Liverpool were never in any of these plans.}

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 13:24:38
I still think one signing we should make in the summer is James McCarthy, he's going to be a cracking player!

Adam

"Griezmann came close to joining Liverpool during the last transfer window and the 20-year-old remains high on the Anfield club's wanted list"
as i reported at the start of the window, we will make another attempt for him in the summer.

Anyone know much about xabi prieto there's talk in today's paper about kenny chasing him.

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 10:40:10
{Ed002's Note - I avoid comemnting on teams and wish lists as much as possible.}

I wouldn't blame yea, for example if you probably said yea I like Mata in the team then for the next week you be harassed saying you said Mata was signing and where did you hear that from and what's your source etc lol

corkpoolred

{Ed002's Note - Exactly.}

Hi Ed
With all this talk of left-backs (Enrique, Monreal, Kadlec, Baines etc) whatever happened to the rumour during the last window of us bringing back Warnock from Villa?
I seem to remember it was only a possible loan deal but do you think he could come back on a permanent basis in the summer and do you think he is good enough to solve our left-back problem?
Keep up the good work!

It seems that Newcastle are interested in Maxi Rodriguez and David ngog for a combined 9 million.

3 million maxi
6 million ngog

For me personally i hope this is true as these two don't really add anything yes ngog has some pace but lacks goals.

for 9 million i would hope we bought in a winger who can cross the ball for carroll as he will be a waste of 35 million if we don't have wingers to cross to him

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 02:45:44
Ed what are the chances out of 10 of us signing the following players:

Hulk
Sanchez
Juan Iturbe
Ganso
Banega
Coentrao
Sakho

{Ed002's Note - 2, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 2}
