ed, have you heard the rumours of birmingham goin into administration? if that does happen the team who finished 6th in the league will get there euro place.


jay b {Ed009's Note - I do believe that is what would happen. It is a similar situation to Portsmouth, isn't it?}

Pacheco keen to leave Liverpool. We had a rubbish season last year. Why didnt Pacheco get some game time?

‎Pacheco, 20, scored two goals in six appearances having joined Norwich on an emergency loan in March, and is now looking for a new club.

"I hoped for a lot more [at Liverpool], " Pacheco said. "Why should I deny it? I was told I was going to have opportunities. Quite simply, if they don't give me more opportunities, I am very clear I want to leave. Above all, I want to play and if I have to leave to do that then there will be no problem.

"Logically it's a disappointment to see that you don't have any playing time, but in such a situation all you can do is work and I hope to have minutes in the Under-20 World Cup to demonstrate what I am worth."

Eds, not sure if this has been mentioned before and one which i understand is progressing in recent days, Antonio Cassano from AC Milan, not at all sure about him but was at a charity golf dinner and vibe was that we were close to agreeing a fee, my only doubt on this conversation was his apparent age, late 20's so would this fit with so called "new" policy? Just wondered if you guys had picked up on this? Or just cheap table wine fuelling the bull
Red kev {Ed009's Note - I am almost certain the will not be signed. Not only is he old, he is an incredibly unsettling presence in dressing rooms.}

hey eds ive been reading this rumours for a few weeks now and ive seen posts about gary cahill but can you plz let us know what is hapening with him? thanks robbie {Ed009's Note - There is interest from the club, and they are perhaps interest in N'Gog. There is a chance a deal could be struck but it is relatively unlikely as the player ideally seeks Champions League football.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 23:04:45
With a supposed fee of 38m for Aguero, makes the 35m we spent on AC seem crazy. Though i'm sure Aguero is probably on a couple of quid more.

Hi all the Eds. I am addicted to your LFC rumours and replies. I am on holiday tomorrow for 11 days and will miss the banter. I am cruising the Adriatic and will try to keep in touch with the transfers probably via SSN. Anyway love to all our fans, players, club and KK.

I think us Lucas fans will just have to give up on these anti Lucas posters. If their not sure of his talents after last season they never will be.

He dominated both United and Chelsea's midfield in all 4 games. He's aggressive, an effective tackler, has great positional sense, high stamina levels and is great in the air. His passing range is more suited to the short game but he can thread a great through ball when in the right position and his biggest attribute like Kuyt's is his mental strength.

He works seriously hard through every game, his head doesn't drop like say Torres or Gerrard when things aren't going his way. He really is a model professional and has been incredibly loyal to Liverpool, when he could have easily cut and run.

I salute players like Lucas as despite not being the most glamorous player he's one of the first names I would put on the team sheet. Surely multiple international and club managers couldn't be wrong could they? That includes Kenny, who I'm sure wouldn't sell him as he offered him a new long term contract in March.

Will people stop going on about Lucas leaving. This is our player of the year last season and someone who has worked hard for the fans respect, and still people dislike the lad. People are saying that he might leave because of a number of midfielders coming in, but why would he? He is surely a starter, he stepped up when Mascherano left and for me has proved his worth.

Remember he is a defensive midfielder, is that the case with Charlie Adam or Jordan Henderson? No not at all. Agua may leave, Raul may leave......Lucas will definitely not be leaving so please cut the crap

What happened to the interest in the winger elerjo (spelling) elia because in January apparenntly it was a done deal thanks ed

Liverpool are close to signing three young strikers - Pachuca starlet Marco Bueno, Nacho of Albacete and USA Under-17 ace Villyan Bijev.

The Bijev transfer has already gone through, with the American going straight on loan to Belgian team Genk.

Bijev shone on trial for Liverpool, playing 45 minutes for the Under-18s in their 8-0 victory over Stevenage.

He scored a hat-trick and won a penalty in that time, and the Reds were sufficiently impressed to offer him a three year deal.

Also playing in that game was Nacho, who claimed two goals himself, and the young striker also looks to have landed himself a permanent contract.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has reportedly paid £150,000 up front for the teenager, with a further £350,000 possible depending on success.

Finally, Liverpool have offered a ten day trial to Mexican striker Marco Bueno.

Though the 17 year-old has drawn inevitable comparisons with Manchester United ace Javier Hernandez due to his nationality, in truth he is more of a second striker - a younger and of course rawer Luis Suarez, if you will.
At the recent U17 World Cup, he scored just once as Mexico claimed the trophy, but his creativity and earnest running won him considerable acclaim as he set up numerous goals for his strike partner Carlos Fierro.SOURCE-FANATIX

hi eds congrats on 100% record on rumours can u tell me anything on the lucas situation? is he in milan as ive read? any real news on left and centre back posistions? great site thanx again steviep48 {Ed009's Note - I don't think that he will leave. There is certainly nothing at this time to suggest there is anything in the rumours.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 19:30:26
lucas is in milan intersesting

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 18:55:09
Ed is juve favourites if periera moves ?
Jim22 {Ed009's Note - I am not sure who is favourites. Liverpool have made an enquiry but that is it. I don't think that anyone else has bid either at this point.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 18:39:15
Liverpool have agreed a 12 million pound deal for Mario Balotelli, with Jovanovic, Cole and aquilani going to city, likely to be finalised in the next 48 hours.

Liverpool have also been in contact with bayern munich, concerning Phillipp Lahm, a fee hasn't yet to be agreed, but it is thought to be around 18-20 million, possibly a few players going in the opposite direction.



trusted source. {Ed009's Note - Did City decide that Aguero wasn't the player for them, that Jovanovic suited their needs far more.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 18:33:53
eds is it true that lucas is looking to leave because of the recent arrivals of a number of midfielders??
lfc4life {Ed009's Note - There is no reason to believe this is true, more than any other newspaper rumour.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 18:04:13
Hey all not really a rumour but I am in Finland and big sammie hypia is tomorrow coming for a ride in our car for rally Finland so I will be asking him if he will be back for some sort of coaching role will let you know tomorrow eds can confirm ip address {Ed009's Note - I hope you don't mind me doing this, but you should post under the name Keith, or an alternative name of course, in future. It will help give credence to your posts and give you an affinity with other regular posters.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 19:28:39
Ok ive heard a lot of Bull spoken of late now for a fact speaking to a very good friend of mine who plays for everton football club at left back he is desprate to join KK and the rebuild and he is going to do what he can to force the sale

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 19:21:28
In the last 3 days or so, we are supposed to be signing the US stiker with bulgarian nationality, the mexican kid beuno (sorry about spelling), and also another striker for the ivory coast?

Do we think we will get all 3?

Red from the wood {Ed009's Note - I am not sure who the ivory coast player is I am afraid, but Nacho, Bijev and Bueno are all likely to be signed, or are signed.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 19:08:11
Anyone got any decent knowledge of Alvaro Pereira? From what I've seen for Uruguay he's fairly strong in the tackle, great going forward but a little Glen in his positioning. If that is the case, would seem unlikely for the money Porto are asking but he's young with scope to develop and would hopefully settle quickly with Suarez around.

Cheers,
Papa G

Ed, sorry if this has been said already but are Liverpool interested in Pjanic? Im only asking because its the first i have heard of it. He would be a great replacement for Aquaman.

Thanks

Wheeler92 {Ed002's Note - See earlier posts.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 17:14:50
Hi eds just like to say i would be more than happy if we signed..

Alvaro perrea and Santi cazorla

I dnt think any think anyone else would be neccessary

Whats your thoughts ed would u be happy with these aqusititions {Ed002's Note - It is not going to happen - Cazorla be moving to Malaga or there is a remote chance of him staying at Villareal. No chance of a move to Liverpool.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 16:51:04
Liverpool have made an approach for Gary Cahill, the opening offer around £12mil plus add ons, rising to £16mil. They also said they can sign David Ngog at a discounted fee of £3mil (he's up for £5mil) if they make a decision before the end of next week.
Raul Meireles looks set to stay following Aquilani's proposed move to Fiorentina and Poulson on his way to craven cottage. Steven Gerrard likely to be out to late August early September.
Liverbean.

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 16:49:13
Ed, how realistic is Pereira signing, since Porto is asking lot of money for him?We didn't want to pay 11 or 12 mil for Enrique, i don't see us paying 15 and more for Pereira. {Ed002's Note - I suspect he is an option who has been considered - as many others. I would not read too much in to it just yet.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 16:15:13
ive heard that liverpool are going for Miralem Pjanic for 10 million pounds but lyon are holding out for 12 million do you think this is a rumour or some truth. Im wondering if this is happening becaue Lucas is in fact actually going. Or kenny has decided that we need another midfielder for some reason instead of a left back {Ed002's Note - I am not sure that this has anywhere to run. Sorry.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 16:05:45
Santi carzola signs for malaga. Another one Eds got right.

I love annoyed ED002 so I am trying my best to annoy her.

26 Jul 2011 15:32:30
Rumour around white heart lane is that liverpool are attempting to resign Peter Crouch 9 mil

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 15:08:44
Is there any new on Insua leaving, presonally i want him to stay thank ed. {Ed009's Note - Liverpool are clearly okay with the player leaving, having allowed him to talk with Roma over a deal. Unfortunately one couldn't be struck, but if somebody else comes in, which is relatively likely, he will leave.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 15:05:09
please post this n rumours page
ed, do u think we will offer ngog plus cash for cahill as bolton want to sign him {Ed009's Note - {Ed009's Note - I definitely think that we could get Cahill, there is a real chance of the player. Price is the only barrier and I suppose N'Gog moving the other way is a distinct possibility. I do believe Bolton would be interested in the player, but swaps are relatively rare.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 14:54:54
Sorry in advance if this was asked.

Ed, how good is this Bueno kid?

Corkpoolred {Ed002's Note - As you say he is a kid, and I am afraid I know little that can inform.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 14:10:16
The Mexico Under-17 striker Marco Bueno is set to arrive at Liverpool next month with a view to signing what may be a five-year contract.
His current club Pachuca held a meeting with the player and his parents on Monday to agree arrangements, with the youngster reportedly due on Merseyside sometime between 10 and 12 August to begin training with the reserves.
"A pre-contract with the parents and Bueno was signed to be sent to Liverpool, " the Pachuca vice-president, Andres Fassi, told El Universal. "So we are accepting the 10-day trial and the conditions, if the English decide to keep him."
Bueno, talking about the prospective move to England, said: "I have to face it with great motivation and commitment to represent the country in the best way, and with faith that everything is achievable. It's a life experience that I will never forget, I'm very excited about that and will give my best. Where the opportunity arises I will make the most."
Reports in the Spanish media also claim Liverpool have secured a deal for the Albacete youngster Nacho, who had a successful trial with the club's under-18s earlier this month. The Spanish press say the Reds have paid £150,000 up front for the striker with a further £350,000 of potential add-ons, plus a 15% sell-on fee.
Villarreal, Atl tico Madrid, Real Madrid and M laga were all reportedly interested in the player.

Aqualani will still be at liverpool till january . Raul Meireles is about to go out on loan to galatasary on loan till january with Milan Jovanović move there full time. this deal will pave the way for Arda turan to move the other way . aqualani as been given more time to fight for a place at liverpool and is about to turn down a loan move to florentina. aqualani as been given the option to go or stay and fight . but liverpool need to drop wages which means that meireles will go to galatasary on loan till january to give him chance to stay and fight. aqualani as 2 day to decide his future

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 14:02:41
Dominic Vieira, a football writer in Portugal (I think), just posted that Liverpool are close to signing Pereira. Also, he is claiming that the sale of Aqua is needed to fund the move. Not sure how credible he is as a source, hope this is true as he is a very good player IMO

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 13:35:32
HI ED heard a strong rumour that the mighty pool will be getting melvut erdinc on loan from PSG and also will be signing per metersacker for 16 million

daniel ayala
daniel pacheco
maxi rodriguez
cristian poulson
soritis kyriagkos

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 13:13:29
Aqualani to Fiorentina is a smokescreen. He will join Arsenal for a fee of around £8m - 10m, once Fabregas and Nasri leave.

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 13:12:30

Eds, 2 players i am asking about here. Matias Silvestre and Alex Milosevic, were these just rumours created by managers and/or clubs to drum up interest in the player, or has there been any genuine interest in either of the players??

26 Jul 2011 12:11:39
why dont we buy n'zogbia for 9.5m, we cant go wrong, even if it doesnt workout we will get the money back for him.his a top player and he has pace which we have been lacking for years on the wing.9.5m for him is a bargain.i personal rate him at 15-18m.what do you think eds. {Ed002's Note - I think he is going to Aston Villa.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 12:10:07
Liverpool will not be selling Brazilian midfielder Lucas despite speculation that he would help balance the books after Kenny Dalglish's heavy spending this summer.

Lucas is still wanted at Anfield.

The Reds do not normally comment on transfer speculation, and are making no official response concerning the rumours, but a source at the club told ESPNsoccernet: ''There is nothing to say about this. It is rubbish''.

Lucas was voted Player of the Year last season at Anfield, but with £49 million of new players brought in to bolster the midfield over the summer - Stewart Downing from Aston Villa, Sunderland's Jordan Henderson and Blackpool's Charlie Adam - competition in his department is fierce and the Brazilian's options might be more limited.

However, having only signed a new deal in March, Dalglish sees him as part of his future plans and still views him as starter ahead of the likes of Joe Cole, Alberto Aquilani, Christian Poulsen, Jonjo Shelvey and Jay Spearing.

let lucas go if he wanted too, he has put up with enough grief from so called fans, no less then 25 mill though. i think hes a top lad and deserves a startin place. i have seen on here that 8 mill is the cost.....piss take. barry worth 20 odd mill then lucas gotta be worth at least 30 mill. kk will sort it out.

26 Jul 2011 10:56:38
Just checking the Liverppol website, it is pretty obvious who is expected to leave this summer, as the following have not been given squad numbers:

Aqua man,
Degen,
El Zhar,
Insua,
Jovanovic

and i aslo expect Ngog, Pacheco, The Greek and Poulsen to leave All dead wood and then some additions:

Cahill/Dann
and a young striker. That will be it, no marquee signings, but a better quality squad.

Hi everyone, just found this site while searching for some good rumour sites, first post.

I have a contact in the Villareal camp, (Spanish cousin) and he tells me that Liverpool are showing interest in Santi Carzola and he is up to a move, but it is deciding between us and Malaga (who he also sees as a good move).

We have not launched a bid but we have enquired so as to his availability.

Thanks, only been on this site for about 30mins and I'm already hooked

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 10:23:34
Ed this is one of the most riduclous rumour I have heard lucas to be sold by us.he is best defensive medfeilder in league by mile and among top 5 in world.
Ask real madarid how with makaleli they won everything and since he was sold have failed to replace him.it is one of the most underrated positions in team.
I thought he was bargain at 6m when rafa bought him and this boys attitude is worldclass.if hendo was worth 16m then I won't let a team even say his name less then 30m.look for how much dejong was bought by city and he is not even worth to tie lucas laces.
I am big lucas fan.this kid is gem so don't even think of selling him as he will improve 100 times more he is only 24.

Hi ed. Any truth in the aquilani move to fiorentina or just a loan move? Also do you think cole will be kept untill january? {Ed002's Note - The deal is a loan to buy deal and he will be gone tomorrow by the look of things. I understand that the details of the deal are pretty much in line with that discussed over the weekend.}

 

 

 

26 Jul 2011 09:38:51
The worry is that if we don't finish top four then barca will come in for Saurez next summer with the same bullying tactics being used in the fabregas deal. The press will link him with all the usual suspects, like they did with Stevie for years (and later Torres). So for gods sake get it right now Kk - we have the hottest striker on the planet with Saurez - the board couldn't have dreamed he would have done so well in just a few months. He must be worth triple what we paid for him Imagine selling Saurez for 20 mil now He must be worth at least 60?


So, please invest properly now. A world class centre back and a top quality back up striker and a solid left back please.

The Trotters also want a striker but Liverpool's £6m valuation of David Ngog could mean they pursue Birmingham's Cameron Jerome instead.

As for disharmony, I really leaving. As for disharmony, I really don't know.}

Liverpool will turn their attentions to Jose Enrique once again as they believe they can now get the price down to a more realistic 7-8 million following Enrique's outburst on twitter. Like with every Porto player Liverpool were getting quoted an outrageous 25 million euros for Alvaro Pereira and an enquiry is as far as it has gone. They are being encouraged in their pursuit of Godin however, Atletico want 15 million for him and Liverpool will not pay that.
