Hi Eds,
Was watching an interview via Youtube earlier and Tony Evans claimed Rodgers initially pulled the deal on transferring Sturridge to Liverpool in the summer and then had Sturridge forced on him the winter window. True, b*******, or massive oversimplification?

{Ed001's Note - Rodgers did no such thing, he pushed for the move to go through.}

Cheers, Ed001, appreciate the reply.

Thought it seemed a bizarre statement to make and I couldn't see how it could be accurate. He basically said Rodgers quashed Sturridge in the summer as he wanted Dempsey instead. Then when that didn't happen, FSG pushed Sturridge on him in the winter.

Agree0 Disagree0

To be fair who cares we have him now that's what counts and if it is true i'm sure brendans a very happy man to have the best english stiker out there

Agree0 Disagree0

I heard it was benitez who rang gerrard and told him he was available and gerrard passed the information on to Liverpool I also believe that he (benitez) told him that coutinho was available too.

Agree1 Disagree0

The question is why come out with something like that when Liverpool are trying to focus on finishing strongly?

Is he trying to unnerve Sturridge for some reason, I already feel uneasy as it is when Sturridge gets subbed nearly every game, the lad must be thinking WTF.

Agree0 Disagree0

Afternoon Ed's, hope all is well, excited for tonight!

Seen a few rumours doing the rounds that we had representatives at Roma vs Torino game last night. They were apparently there to watch Miralem Pjanic & Alessio Ramagnoli. Do you have any information or knowledge of interest in the two? Ino we were linked with Pjanic abit a while ago and he is a very good player.

Thanks alot

{Ed002's Note - PSG and Manchester City remain keen on the signing of Miralem Pjanic. Spurs are aware that he could be available at the right price - but that is very high. Manchester United also made an enquiry in the summer, but it went nowhere. Dortmund seem to have dropped their interest. It would take a very significant bid for him to move this summer and I rather think he will stay.

I am not aware of Liverpool interest in Romagnoli who the club was looking to send out on loan next season. I would think another teenage centre back who is somewhere well down the pecking order would not be top of Liverpool's shopping list.}

Suspected that may have been the case! Cheers mate

Any interest in herrera from altletico bilbao? I remember utd had interest in him last summer and couldn't match the price tag which was near 30 million? Is he any good as I heard much of him apart from him being a player who is suppost to be carrying bilbao in la liga this year? Cheers eds

Believable2 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - There is no interest in Herrera, certainly not at the price that was being asked last summer (which was higher than the number you suggest). He gave an interview saying that he was humbled by the offer made in the summer by Manchester United but Bilbao is his club and by rejecting the offer they have shown they wish to keep him.}

hi Ed02 in the Liverpool echo tonight it said we are being linked to herrera, but it did state this was just a rumour from around the web, is value is rather high but it said we are looking at him to be gerrards replacement, as I've said its just a rumour

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - See above.}

Eds you have confirmed our interest in Dzsudzsak and that we could well push ahead for him in the summer. Do you see him at this stage as being a better option than Konoplyanka?

Also who else is looking at him please? Have we looked at him recently enough to suggest we still are interested or was it b 4 Xmas period?

Believable1 Unbelievable6

{Ed002's Note - There is certainly interest in Dzsudzsak from both Everton and Inter. However, in respect of Liverpool I suspect it is an old story being recycled, as Liverpool showed interest in Dzsudzsak whilst at PSV and again in January 2013 when the club enquired after a loan. Schalke and Parma have also shown some interest. It would certainly not be out of the question for Liverpool's interest to have come back, but there is nothing confirmed by his agent - so I suspect nothing is going on with him right now.}

Hi Eds,

Did coutinho have any other offers on the table other than ourselves before he signed. I think I heard Southampton made an offer, is this correct?

Believable3 Unbelievable6

{Ed002's Note - He was very close to a move to Bologna on loan and Southampton did show interest.}

Eds
a) do Bayern hold an interest in Suarez?
b) If so might they consider making a player + cash offer?
c) (getting progressively more obscure) Who would they most likely offer and could Götze be a player they'd consider letting go?

Believable1 Unbelievable23

{Ed001's Note - not that I am aware of.}

26 Mar 2014 10:24:53
Answer to b is yes, but only players they feel they do not need!
Answer to c is absolutely not!

Agree0 Disagree0

Mehhh doubted it to be honest just love watching Götze play and that's probably the only real way he could join us

Agree0 Disagree0

Surely if he wanted to go, and bayern wanted him to leave, they could just sell him to real or similar and use that money to buy Suarez, as I couldn't see him taking a step from best team in the world to us?

Agree0 Disagree0

Keep Suarez, go for Shaqiri, good times! He is strong and stocky, good manipulator of the ball, excellent left foot and a nice bit of pace.

Gotze will be there for the forseeable future I'd imagine, even if he did become available in some parallel universe he would be way, way out of our price range at the moment.

Agree0 Disagree0

Kroos, Boateng + £40m please. sell reina, coates, agger, assaidi, enrique, aspas. Buy Rodrigo Moreno for a little £30m, Alberto Moreno for £15m, Pedro £23m & Cole for free. then bring Suso & Borini back.

^-- the only conditions Suarez should leave under in the summer.
