Ed not really anything to do with LFC, but after watching the barca vs AC Milan game tonight and watching messi and villa they are not on the same wave length at the moment. Do you know what there falling out has been over and of it has been resolved, and who's side arethe club taking ?
Cheers
Aussie red {Ed001's Note - I don't know for sure what it was over, but it certainly has not been fully resolved as far as I can find out. The likelihood is that Villa will be moving on, clubs have been made aware of his availibility, so I guess that answers the question about whose side the club is taking!}


Eh, for one of the goals last night, did messi not pass to villa to score?! ;-)

any insight into january targets eds or macca surely with gerrards injurys problems we need to look at bringing someone in who can replace him?henderson looks like it might take him a couple of years to fill that role, gotze,ericson or gaston would be ideal!

the freshmaker {Ed001's Note - only thing I have heard for sure is a good chance Shelvey will extend his loan with Blackpool until the end of the season. The question has been asked about his likelihood of first team football if he returns this season, looks like he will stay there. That makes it seem very likely we will be bringing someone in.}


Cheers ed, who would your preferred choice be to bring in for stevie {Ed001's Note - for me Keisuke Honda and Moussa Sissoko are the two I have seen that could best play his role for the side. Though, if it was just a central midfield role that needed replacing, it would be Javi Martinez I would go for.}


Ed by Someone in do you mean in January, and do you mean a creative midfielder? {Ed001's Note - yes and more a deep lying forward/attacking midfielder.}


Ed do you think hamsik could be an option I think he is quality just what we need in my opinion and it's not motd fever I've liked him for a couple of years

KopEndDannyLFC {Ed001's Note - unlikely, Napoli are a pain, them and Udinese are particularly difficult teams to deal with.}


How much do you think we would have to pay for hamsik ed?

KopEndDannyLFC {Ed001's Note - off the top of my head, I would say Ł20m upwards, depending on how long is left on his contract.}


An attacking mid or DM and use maxi as an attacking mid for this season.


Wats the chance of lars bender, ed? {Ed002's Note - I would be surprised if he moved in January. Perhaps the summer.}


Eds how much do you think Javi Martinez would cost? {Ed002's Note - Ł34M plus VAT plus Agents fees plus VAT on agents fees.}


Javi Martinez for me would be a sensational signing, but as you say he would cost a lot of money.

Hey eds it might be completely stupid but would there be any chance of Thiago Alcantara of Barcelona? I think they were willing to let him go to raise cash for Fabregas but did he sign a new contract ? Thanks eds really appreciate the time you guys put into this site :) {Ed001's Note - they were never looking to lose him, just paper talk mate.}


I would love us to get our hands on him, javi martinez and a few other young spanish midfielders. Give us some movement I think we're short on without gerrard and meireles.


 

 

23 Nov 2011 21:11:29
LiverpoOl to sign nathon dyer and chris samba in january! And maybe lars bender


If that's to happen, that would not be any good piece of business, at all. We don't need new CB, as it has already been expressed (just look at the team), why. And dyer isn't good enough.


Nathan dyer and chris samba are s**t any chance of liverpool being linked with someone good

I have a friend who went to Brentwood School with Frank Lampard and still keeps in touch with him. During a rescent meeting he apparently said that Anelka will be returning in January on loan until the end of the season. Also Adam Johnson was close to a switch last window but he decided to stay and is glad now he did.


Well how about you prove it. My kids went to the Brentwood school, prior to our moving to Canada. Ask your mate which famous ex-England player currently has 2 kids at the Brentwood school. Along with the name of the famous ex-boxer and ex-Olympic Athlete.

ChrisE


ChrisE - He went there the same time as Frank so I doubt he knows who the people are you mention that are there now would he?
I can understand why you would choose to disbelieve me and it is your choice to do so, but I am joining in with the site by telling you what I know to be true. There is no need for you to come on here rubbishing me like this. My neighbour was also his teacher - Roger Gray when I lived in Billericay. How much more proof would you like?


Not attempting to rubbish you, however when u post something unsigned and name drop as sources i was trying to offer you a chance to back it up. I can't check the name you gave as we are no longer in the UK, however Billericay would be about right for teachers there. Re the names i gave, Rob Lee has his youngest son and only daughter there, Megan his daughter was in same class as my girl. Frank Bruno and Fatima Whitbread also have kids there.

Hi, ive seen some websites that say we are putting in a 12 million bid for Lars Bender. Can you say if this is true and if it is will he be a good addition to the team. Great site keep it up :)


Wow, with a name like that he should generate some good songs for the opposition....


Wouldn't be a great buy. He is a good player, though. Byut we've better player already in the centre. YNWA


 

 

23 Nov 2011 18:52:47
Any chances of signing Jan vertonghen or maybe Samuel Inkoom? Liverpool could use a bit of back up at full back positions
Clayven


Vertonghen won't happen if he leaves it would be to arsenal ed said that...inkoom great player but not back up he is superb


Is this dude for real we have three great right backs and three great left backs

KopEndDannyLFC


"It's brilliant for us. Kells (Martin Kelly) played at centre-back for the (England) U21s and that's where he started here, that's where he set out to be and maybe that's where he will go back to." Daglish. Make of that what you will, YNWA


 

 

23 Nov 2011 16:38:55
Hi eds,
Are the rumors about Liverpool and Chelsea batteling for dijon player Benjamin Corgnet true? {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any interest from Chelsea. Manchester United, Liverpool and Aston Villa have apparently had folks watch Dijon play Bordeaux either last weekend or the week before (my notes are none to clear). What I don't have any confirmation of is who, if anyone specifically, they may have been interested in. As a player Corgnet is having a good season after a pretty uninspiring season last year. I have no recollection of seeing him play at all.}


 

 

23 Nov 2011 15:44:24
Eds just wondering if theres any solid interest in any of our players? Cheers {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware of right now. I suspect that in addition to Aquilani, Joe Cole and Pacheco will never return to Anfield.}


 

 

23 Nov 2011 15:41:31
Liverpool are thought to be monitoring the progress of Norwich winger Anthony Pilkington with a view to making a move for the player in January.

The Chinese Football Association (CFA) will send two young players to Premier League club Liverpool's youth teams in January as part of its 'Future Star' programme.

Long Cheng, 16, will join the Reds' U18 squad, while Chen Xiaomao, 14, will become part of the U15 team

Liverpool have been linked with a swoop for Fiorentina midfielder Ricardo Montolivo.


How can people disagree when its on the LFC website {Ed002's Note - The Liverpool web site provides no more than a round up of what tehy find in the papers and on various web sites. It is not a statement from the club.}


You actually think the club would put its plans for the forthcoming transfer window on public display on their website? Wow.

Hi Ed

What is the latest with these players (are Liverpool interested) and which team are they most likely to join and which window (winter or summer).

1. Samba
2. Strootman
3. Bender

YNWA-SA
Liverpool all the way !! {Ed002's Note - Please use the search function and read the other posts.}


Most of us would use the search if half of the stuff that came up was even relevant...... so i think most people will stick to asking you guys to do your job... and answer our questions? {Ed002's Note - You really don't understand what our job is do you?}


You are paid to answer our questions ed so why don't you do it instead of telling us to search ? {Ed002's Note - Sure, whatever you want.}


 

 

23 Nov 2011 13:44:40
what are the realistic chances of liverpool making a move for cavani he is a top player and would be great with suarez i dont think carrol is any good great site i love the work you do {Ed002's Note - Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal have at one time or another shown an interest. I think it is very unlikely that he will move to Liverpool.}


He will go to Citeh.


Carroll no good ..he ant been given a chance another potentially great player liverpool will ruin ...remember crouch didnt score in his first 17 games but kept being put in team look wot happened got his confidence and was brill for us... carroll in then out sometimes dunt get a game at all he ll never get any confidence .


 

 

23 Nov 2011 13:26:51
from ireland and hearing that the coleman rumour has truth behind it , not sure if a bid will be made but there is certainly interest.

mr deeds


I am seamus colemans cousin it is true and he wants topclass football and thinks everton are in liverpool's shadow


Would be a good buy but dont see it happenung


He is Mustard that Coleman.


 

 

23 Nov 2011 12:43:27
ok ed on a lighter note have u any info on this ,that when we came second to scum in the league in 2008 was it threw that we had 3 mayjor signings in the bag only for the owners to pull the plug at the last minute on the deals and smash the morale of the whole club from top to bottom for the next season in which was to be raffas last {Ed001's Note - we had Villa and Silva deals set up, there was another one as well, but I can't think who it was. So yes, we did have 3 major signings set up ready to go, before they got hit by the recession and pulled the deals.}


I thought villa only ever wanted to play in spain {Ed001's Note - he did, but, at the time, Valencia were desperate for the money and he agreed to make the move.}


I can't actually believe that !? If we had a David Silva in our squad at the moment we would be fully rivaling Man City at the top of the league, let's hope for similar deals in the summer if we make the top 4.
HX Red


Imagine those 2 players joining the squad we had at the time. We could of been unstoppable. So glad we now have the owners to get back up there

MIKEY


So thats what im saying ,that would of meant us going from being top 4 club to title contenders every season and a good run every year in champs league,we all said in raffa we trust we should have stuck by this instead of joining the hate mob made up by outside imput that got rid of him and got us the laughable woy in which we all knew wasnt going to get us near the level raffa had us at


With the money he spent this year if we had Raffa we would of had a few world class players and potentially been title contenders... Raffa the best manager Liverpool have had in last 15 years


It was Jovetic. I definetly remember Rafa saying in an interview that he had Jovetic in the bag.


Do u think there the broken promises torress has been on about
mattf


This is our problem right here, always looking in the rear view mirror.


Agreed. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Move on.
Just because Silva has hit his stride with City does not mean Villa or Jovetic would have made good. The former is about to be shipped out of his current club; the latter has been injured and is a shadow of his former self.


Only if we got them...just imagine at that point of time our squad...not saying Villa and Jovetic would definitely have been brilliant but still just imagine the stability we might have had for the coming seasons...maybe finishing in top 4 next season instead of 7th...good run in champs league...if that would have happened rafa would have been here and we would have been singing his name


The other player was Glen Johnson. After the Johnson singing Rafa said he had money to make at least 2 more top class singings

I don't know if this will help or not but I thought seen as the eds do so much for this site and repeatedly get asked the same questions I'd try to do a round up of responses for the most FAQ regarding player signings. I understand if this isn't posted as I'm simply using the SEARCH function to copy and paste the most detailed answers..

Hazard: Ed002's Note - He will not be joining Liverpool. Unless an extraordinary bid is made in January, Eden Hazard will not be available to the summer. Real Madrid or Barcelona is his preferred destination. PSG, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are all interested to one degree or another. I said over the summer that I would not be surprised to see Manchester United through their hat in to the ring with Hazard as well. I don't see Hazard moving to Liverpool, Juventus, AC Milan or Arsenal for that matter. Chelsea have maintained a long-term interest but one particularly influential party at the club sees the player as having an attitude problem

Erickson: Ed002's Note - Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and AC Milan have shown an interest in Eriksen, but he unlikely to move this year. Player would like a move to Spain.

Lucas Moura & Lucas Piazon: Ed002's Note - Lucas Piazon has signed for Chelsea and will be available from January. If Lucas Moura becomes available I suspect he will end up in Italy, but Liverpool have been one of numerous clubs to express an interest / Ed002's Note - Lucas was enquired about by Liverpool amongst numerous teams and the quoted price was $130M. He may eventually be sold for much less but way more than any English side will pay for an unproven teenager. There is, in my view, no chance of him moving to England or to Liverpool. If pushed, Roma or one of the Milan clubs could attract him away from a move to Portugal, but I doubt he will leave Brazil for at least two or three years.

Goetze: Ed002's Note - The chances of a move to Liverpool in January are vet low indeed - about zip. Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona have already been knocked back by his club and Goetze himself has made it abundantly clear that he wants to stay at Dortmund for this season, although no doubt a very significant offer would be listened to. Real Madrid may be able to persuade him to move. He has identified his favourite teams as Barcelona and Arsenal. There is also interest also from AC Milan - and I suspect that they are shifting their interest in Ganso to Goetze due to persisting non-EU quota issues. There may be some, so far unpublisized, interest from elsewhere announced soon.

Higuain: Ed002's Note - I really don't see it happening in January. If Higuain moves there are two possible destinations, neither of which are Liverpool I am afraid. / Ed001's Note - Higuain, though there is no chance of getting him. The main aim of the scouts this season is to find a goalscorer, Luuk De Jong was seen as one for the future, not originally as a January target, but he may well end up being brought in as his form has attracted so much interest

Luuk De Jong: See above

Moussa Sissoko: Ed002's Note - Toulouse's Moussa Sissoko is a fine player and has attracted interest from Lyon, Roma, Genoa, Juventus, Liverpool and probably Napoli. Arsenal and Milan's previous interest waned over the summer. Damien Comolli let Sissoko's agent know that Liverpool see his man as the ideal long-term replacement for Steven Gerrard but for some reason Liverpool failed to make the final push in the summer. Sissoko is available but both Roma and Lyon appear to have the edge over other interested clubs and as far as I know at the moment Liverpool have yet to follow up their previous interest.

Moussa Sow: Ed002's Note - Sow is available but I don't know that Liverpool are interested

Seydou Doumbia: Ed002's Note - He is doing well in a league which is not as good as the EPL. He is available at the right price which will be more than £25M but Liverpool have not shown any interest in the player so I would say it is unlikely at this time.

Lavezzi: Ed002's Note - No, I don't think Lavezzi will be joining in January. Liverpool's interest in Lavezzi pre-dates the last January window. He has an agent in Frederic Guerra who does a really good job of talking up his players without being pushy; and a fabulous technique where he denies interest in his players from major clubs thereby attracting attention to them. It is also likley that he will stay at Napoli - although there is potentially interest from several clubs including Manchester City (who need a replacement for Tevez), Zenit and Inter.

Villa: Ed001's Note - his relationship to Messi is not really of any interest as we haven't even spoken to Barca about him as far as I know.

Hummels: Ed002's Note - Summer is a long way off but Hummels is perhaps an option but there is strong interest from Italy (Inter and Juventus) and there will no doubt be interest from elsewhere should he become available in the summer.

Ganso: Ed001's Note - I doubt we have any chance of Ganso, we are not amongst those teams that give the big wages to tempt players. Players like Ganso go where the money is, they are not coming to Europe out of love for a team!

Neymar: Couldn't find a detailed post so simply - No.

Subotic: Ed001's Note - hard to say right now, Dortmund aren't looking to sell and there would be a lot of competition for his signature. There is a long way to go until next summer... he has turned us down in the past, I would think Coates was the player bought instead though.

Marin: Ed002's Note - AC Milan, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Napoli, Juventus and Roma have all shown an interest in Marko Marin in the past and I hear that Arsenal are interested at the moment. Much will depend on whether or not Liverpool make the Champions League as to whether he is a viable option or not; and the summer is a considerable distance away at present. Perhaps Italy is the most likely destination, and I understand his preferred destination

Coutinho: Ed001's Note - I believe the interest is there, there was certainly interest in the Rafa era and I don't believe it was dropped.

Jovetic: Ed001's Note - I have not heard of any connection or us looking at him, so it seems unlikely. / Ed002's Note - I assume you mean Jovetic. He is no longer available.

Martinez: Ed002's Note - If any English club has enquired it will likely be Manchester United. I was told a few weeks ago that Inter Milan may make a bid for Javi in January if they decide not to take Juraj Kucka from co-owners Genoa. I am not convinced that Bilboa will want to sell the player in January, and if they do they will want something over 40M euro.

Kagawa: Ed001's Note - I don't think it is likely to happen in Jan, it really depends on their willingness to sell him, which is unlikely in January / Ed002's Note - As we stand at the moment, Kagawa has interested the club in the recent past.

Podolski: Ed001's Note - we are looking at him at least, as are a lot of teams, including Arsenal... We are looking at the German league, we have been to watch some Koln matches (I am told Podolski is the object of interest), but that is all I know.

Hoillet: Ed002's Note - I really don't know. There is no interest that we know of / Ed001's Note - possibly, he has been very hit and miss when I have seen him. He certainly has the potential to be good enough

This list took me under 20 minutes to compile, honestly, the search function is great. Just type in the name of the player you'd like to know about and the eds have probably answered it over 20 times.. I may have missed a few names but I'm sure you can find a response if needed. I apologize if any of the eds views or circumstances surrounding these players has changed. I hope this helps some of you in one way or another.

Thanks
Chris {Ed001's Note - the only one that seems to have changed is Kagawa, I am told we have had him watched again recently on at least two occasions. But watching him and bidding for him are two massively different things!}


Good post , but I think people will continue to ask about these players.

red deano YNWA


Thanks for that. would be nice if something like this was done every week for an update and kept at the top of the site so everyone can do a quick check and not waste the time of the eds.

red rout


{Ed002's Note - It is pretty easy to use the search funtion so perhaps you (Red Rout) could do it next week. As for Kagawa, after a really bad couple of months or so at the start of the season he is now playing well again.}


Great post!

I have been an avid reader of the site for quite a long time and when I found the site it was mainly information from sources (some credible) stating sightings of players at the ground / hotels / or in cabs, information from friends / family who are close to a player / scout / sources within the football club etc, you get the picture. Some information would be days or potentially weeks ahead of newspapers.

Now the site is full of questions asking for information on who've we scouted and our chance of signing this or that player and I've seen this player on YouTube and are we going to sign them. Or I've bought this player on Football Manager and he's greatť etc. A real sea change of people posting on the site.

The Ed's have been doing a sterling thankless task of answering pointlessly regurgitated questions and I'm now bored of scrolling through these questions. So thanks for this post and I hope all the YouTube and football manager posters can use the search option and refrain from posting for a year or two.

I live in hope.

Stingray {Ed002's Note - I saw the University of Miami football team in the Renaissance hotel in Tampa last Saturday night.}


Thanks for the update on Kagawa ed.

@red deano YNWA: I'm sure people will still ask about players because they either can't be bothered to read earlier posts, or use the search function. It's great getting a personal response from the editors but when they have to repeat themselves x amount of times a day it must get annoying. I'd be insane by now I think!

No problem red rout. If I had the time and the ed's allowed I wouldn't mind posting something like this weekly, but at the minute I'm not so sure that would be needed. Things don't change every week with most players on the list, they simply won't come to Liverpool as the eds have mentioned many times before. It's certainly a good thought though, but would people really read it? Something like this might stop some traffic to the site as well, with people just popping back each week to get a quick update?..

Thanks
Chris {Ed002's Note - Chris, if you want to cobble together a weekly summary that will be fine with us.}


The football team might of been taking their latest cash gifts or seamstress entitlement?

What are our chances out of 10 of signing any of the University of Miami Soccer team? I bought 1 on Football Manager and he turn out to be worth millions! I think he was called Buck Rogers......

Stingray


I agree Stingray, the visitors to this site has changed a lot but in my opinion it is the best LFC website on the net, including the official page obviously. I started visiting about 3 years ago, but have only started posting the past 2-3 months. The banter with some other fans is usually fantastic, although sometimes can get a touch out of hand. I agree that it becomes tiresome reading through the same questions over and over again, but some people just can't be arsed to use the site properly which is a shame considering all of the hard work that goes into it.

Ed002 - I won't be able to do it every week but I visit numerous times a day and if there's a dramatic change in player(s) situations I will happily take note and compile a similar list as and when..

Thanks
Chris


I am a lifelong fan and I worked in Germany for several years. I watched and played a lot of football there and have said on many occasions that Podolski would be perfect for us. He looks a Liverpool player through and through, he is in his prime, a proven goalscorer for club and country and I'm convinced he would make an immediate impact. Cologne is twinned with Liverpool by the way.


@chris and eds

I am more than happy to do a summary with chris and maybe not every week but every 2 weeks as like chris said not much would change out of the transfer window. If you like the idea I will do one one on the 7th Dec and then chris on the 21st dec and so one and maybe weekly in the transfer window? just an idea as TBH i dont really post as i have zero insiders and prefer to not look stupid with lies.

@ED002 I hope i have not pissed you off as I understand the work load you must go through with the other EDS doing this. but thought the idea would maybe help unburden you lot a little

red rout {Ed002's Note - Why would it piss me off?}


 

 

23 Nov 2011 12:26:35
Ed is there any interest in Wijnaldum as far as you know? I think he will add much needed creativity to the team....and any idea how much he would cost? {Ed001's Note - we did look at him in the past, I believe his price tag was extremely high, so we never bothered to follow up our interest. I have no idea what that price tag would be though.}


He Joined Ajax i think, im sure we were quoted Ł17m which at the time we was unable to afford due to dumb and dumber being in charge(hicks n gillet).


He scored 2 at the weekend looks an ok player but not worth more than 6 to 8 million and would take over 10 to get him


 

 

23 Nov 2011 10:39:10
Morning Ed(s) - How much mileage is there in LFC's alleged interest in Anthony Pilkington?
The Goatherder
JFT96 {Ed001's Note - none as far as I am aware.}


Well thank the Lord for that!
The Goatherder
JFT96

Hi Ed's,

Hate pestering you on transfers but i couldnt see anythings in the search function..
Ive heard we could possibly be looking at M'bia from Marseille.. Its my 50/50 source who informed me so dont shoot me down if were not! Just wondered if you've heard anything thats all...

Cheers

Adzii {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any Liverpool interest in Mbia and at this time they have not spoken to Marseille about the player at all.}


Thanks, ill go and slap my freind.

Adzii


 

 

23 Nov 2011 09:49:59
Eds could u clear something up plz, is N.Gaitan transfer possible or am i right in saying he is part owned by third party ownership? Thanks

BigD {Ed002's Note - There is no third party ownership of Gaitan and I am sorry but he will not be moving to Liverpool in January.}


So which Benfica player signed a new deal start of the season that included third party ownership, i thought it was Gaitan, but it cant be as you say. {Ed002's Note - There are numerous players in Portugal, Italy and Spain that have third party ownership, but not Gaitan.}


OK ed Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Couple of questions for you:

1. Do you rate Coutinho.
2. What are our Chances.

BigD {Ed002's Note - Inter offered to loan Coutinho to Bologna as part of a deal for Gaston Ramirez that fell though. I don't think they want to sell but may consider a loan and I suspect they will listen to decent offers. Coutinho would need a work permit so any move would not be easy. A possibility for Liverpool.}


Ok, How does it work regarding work-permits for players? {Ed002's Note - The situation with work permits is that a player will be granted one if (a) he has played 75% of games at full international level for two years, or (b) if an exemption is applied for and granted under the "exceptional talent" provisions. For example, if a case is made to the authorities that a young South American is a demonstrable talent and clearly one for the future, it should be reasonably easy to have an exemption granted. If however, a pretty much run of the mill or average player was being bought and it was clear they are not appreciably better than those which could be found locally, or are being bought because they are cheap, then it will be much more difficult to obtain a work permit. The downside of the system in the UK is that the "bigger" English clubs can cherry pick the decent talent available and can obtain exemptions, and the rest of the players are assumed not to be talented enough for an exemption (as Chelsea or Manchester United etc. don't want them) and therefore obtaining the exemption is much tougher.}


OH i see thank you for that ed.


 

 

23 Nov 2011 04:54:06
liverpool will sign andy polo.


Be good signing but don't see it happening as last i heard Hamburg were already in talks.


Are you sure it's not Marco?


Marco ?
Who's that mate


Good player. He can play in the hole. Robbie


Yeah, Polo is absolutaly mint!

red deano YNWA


Marco would definitely be worth exploring.
-SH-


With a name like andy polo maybe he should be down a hole


 

 

23 Nov 2011 02:53:58
hi ed's is there any chance of us looking at navas? {Ed001's Note - it would be a huge risk to pay the money necessary to take him from Seville, especially as there is a very good chance he would not settle away from home.}


I'd rather promote sterling.


Totally agree promote young Sterling with Suso and Silva.


Promote Sterling or sign a world cup winning superstar....

Hmm...


Superstar ? ? What has he ever done ? ?

If we don't promote than what is the point of having an academy and reserve team, So basically what you are saying is we should copy what Chelsea and M.Cty have bin doing and buy talent and forget the kids ....

BigD


Jesus Navas get's homesick whenever he leaves Seville.

Agree with everyone else, let's promote from within and build organically, rather than have a bunch of mercenary transients just there for the pay packet.


 

 

23 Nov 2011 02:15:36
Hi Eds.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I recall LFC were interested in Diego Forlan some time back. This may well be a loan move, and he partners well with Suarez.
Your comments.
Regards Shankly's Red Army. {Ed001's Note - some time back is the bit to be noted. Far too old and highly paid to be of interest now.}


 

 

23 Nov 2011 01:48:46
Ed is it true that liverpool will make 15 mill bid on Roberto Soldado? {Ed001's Note - I doubt we will be bidding on him in January, as for price, I haven't a clue.}

Sorry mate I didnt mean the betting odds What are the chances of Mario Goetze choosing to come to us rather than Arsenal, and do you see it happening in January? It would be a real statement becasue he would cost £25M + {Ed002's Note - The chances of a move to Liverpool in January are vet low indeed - about zip. Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona have already been knocked back by his club and Goetze himself has made it abundantly clear that he wants to stay at Dortmund for this season, although no doubt a very significant offer would be listened to. Real Madrid may be able to persuade him to move. He has identified his favourite teams as Barcelona and Arsenal. There is also interest also from AC Milan - and I suspect that they are shifting their interest in Ganso to Goetze due to persisting non-EU quota issues. There may be some, so far unpublisized, interest from elsewhere announced soon.}
