a person has a quote from suarez saying "it is not true I have an agreement with Real Madrid. I am thinking about my future but I have not decided anything yet. " Sort of putting my mind at rest, but suggests this could drag on and no one will be sure until 1st September.

Hoping if he does decide to leave he will go leaving us enough time to find replacement otherwise (no offence to Sturridge and Aspas) we will struggle till january AGAIN!

I'm confident that IF he does go, then we have targets in place to get him. (Not meaning Aspas)

Always the voice of optimism Ed002, bloody hell I'd hate to have been next to u on the titanic, if Suarez gives an inkling he wants out or Real offer a fee that's too good to refuse, he will be moved on, quickly and swiftly, LFC not about one person, BR will move fast this season, we must hit the ground running, Suarez is an asset, but the club is bigger than any asset, onwards and upwards 2013/14.

Gazz, you're forgetting we have Borini!

Suárez said in Uruguay on Wednesday that it would be “difficult to say no to Madrid” after claiming that his family had suffered as a result of the controversy generated by his on-field behaviour for Liverpool this season. However, on Thursday his representative, Pere Guardiola, insisted the player was “happy and will stay at Liverpool”.
With Suárez having signed a four-year contract at Anfield 12 months ago, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been given the public backing of the club’s American owners to reject any offers for him this summer. (inderpendant newspaper)
Agree0
Disagree0
Thats from a person on twitter and the quotes he has posted are from a previous interview
Agree0
Disagree0
What will be will be! I think Suarez has been great for us, but if he leaves it won't hold us back. BR is no fool and has already got us playing great football without Luis. With him out of the team it gave the option of putting Coutinho in "the hole" where he was awesome. I would love him to stay, but we can adapt without him and with the money it will bring, I think it could end up being to the benefit of the team. Time will tell.
Agree0
Disagree0
We should play hard ball like mr Levi and strike a deal that is a bebefit to us. 50m take it or leave it.
Agree0
Disagree0
Ed002 can u confirm whether suarez does have a buy out clause at 40m pounds as that is what loads of newspapers are reporting? I though you said 40m euros just allowed him to talk {Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation and what Liverpool will likely accept.}
Agree0

Suarez also told the ref that there was no way he just bit Ivanovic

Ah f*** yeah sorry borini. No offence mate.
Agree0

Read on the tv app this morning he's said that now is a good time to move and doesn't want his daughter to hear bad things about him. He keeps hinting and leaving and really the bad image he has is down to his own actions.
It'd be a shame if we lost him but there will always be someone else to replace him. No one player is bigger than the club.
Agree0
Disagree0
He is a very good player don't get me wrong but if he does leave I'm not to bothered really the amount of trouble he causes I was much more upset when Torres left

I agree eds suarez is off. thank god for that his a great tallent but how many times does he lose the ball and we then go and conceed a goal. not to mention the biting the diving the constant cheating. think we can find better not to mention a team player and may I add a commited player contracts stand for nothing these days.

Agree0

Agree Ed052, Suarez is Frank Bough i. e. off.
Get 50 mill (he's worth it, if Bale's worth 60mill +) and reinvest it wisely.
Could be a blessing in disguise, though I'm currently gutted.
Andy.
Agree0

We can't find anyone better than suarez because there are only two players that are better than him at what he does and ronaldo or messi wouldn't join Liverpool. And what about the goals he scores, without his goals we would have come 18th this seqson {Ed001's Note - or someone else in his position, as we wouldn't have just played with ten men in case you didn't realise, would have scored some and the rest of the team might have stepped up and added a few too. Especially as the forward in his place might actually have passed to a player in a better position sometimes.}
Agree0
Disagree0
Thanks eds for the profile. Any chance you could do a Luis Muriel one? I know its by no means a strong chance to get him but could be a possibility if suarez goes as we will need another creator/goal scorer type player and I personally don't get to watch much Serie A games except results as i'm from Australia, only get to see EPL, European and a bit of La Liga and Bundesliga. Anyway hope you can if you get time and if the rumours strengthen in the coming days/weeks.
Cheers {Ed052's Note - I will do a profile on Muriel, if you could post a request on the site please mate.}

Would Mario Gomez be a possibility for Liverpool this summer? Excellent goalscorer and out of favour at Bayern (presuming Luis Suarez does in fact leave the club).
Thanks {Ed002's Note - With no interested parties in England so far it looks like Fiorentina might take him to replace Jovetic.}

Hi Ed001
Heard anything on the left back situation? Digne/sandro/aurtenetxe?
Or whether we're going to sell Johnson?
He was woeful last night! But that is Hodgsons middle name :)
Thanks
Mac {Ed001's Note - I haven't heard anything on a left back recently, but we won't until a move is actually made, the club have tightened up all the leaks. We only know what is happening so far because the selling clubs have loose lips! I don't expect Johnson to go anywhere this summer, his form has dipped considerably and his wages are high for a right back, but that also makes him difficult to sell. I expect him to stay, as his ability to cover left back makes him useful.}
Believable4
Unbelievable12
Digne is VERY unlikely. We would have to sell Enrique as both want to be first choice at their club, plus beat almost all of Europe's top clubs to his signature. Monaco or PSG most likely.
Agree0
Disagree0
Thanks Ed001
I'd be very disappointed if we didn't get a replacement for Suarez in this window if he's sold, I don't think we have enough quality up top to get top four
I personally would love Aubameyang as he's quick, can finish, and is versatile, your thoughts on him?
Also your thoughts on Atsu? I am unsure on him he looks scarily similar to Zaha which is worrying, are we close to a deal for him?
Thanks
Mac {Ed001's Note - I haven't seen enough of Aubameyang to judge him, to be honest, he does look quick though. Atsu I have to say looks raw, but he does offer versatility, which is a plus, along with the potential to be moulded into a player that suits us.}

Agree0

Why would this be a chock ed? if suarez decides to leave and chelsea bring in 1 or 2 strikers lukaku might want to leave. he might not want to loaned out again. malta {Ed001's Note - he cost them £18m, he is young, Mourinho rates him highly, he has already publicly commented that he is fine with another year on loan and they don't need to sell. It would be a shock.}

30 May 2013 18:48:03
Hope not. Not with his high anxiety issues. €20M (perhaps) can be spent wisely on some1 else like Arda Turan (hoping)
Agree0
Disagree0
A Risk? Why because he's good, Same way Mata was a risk. and ended up with downing playing left back, hmmm {Ed001's Note - not in the slightest, he is a risk because he is older than Mata, at an age where he is not likely to improve. But most of all because he has serious homesickness issues that used to be so bad that he couldn't even travel with the squad to away games at one point. He has had treatment, it has improved, but it is still a risk that it won't affect his play, a huge risk. If he was 2 or 3 million, it might be a risk worth taking, but 20m+ becomes too big a risk.}
Agree0
Disagree0
Too much of an outlay required to take a chance. He is a quality player but, for 20mil, comes with home sickness issues that are too serious to take a chance on. 10mil would be pushing it but worth it, 20mil and we can find better else where.

There is no buyout clause the 40 million offer just gives them permission to speak to him nothing else

Why would you want to go to Real? No manager? Well off top place in La Liga. Spend loads on players then get then ruin them if they don't perform. They're not that attractive a proposition.
They like us are in transition

They, unlike us, are in the CL. Oh, and have tons of great players. Real is a big step up from us at the mo, unfortunately.
Agree0

Such a well written article, clearly well researched, they have even gone out of their way to reduce his ban to a 6 game ban and make note of what would be "tapping up" if it were true!
40m buys you some decent talent so I'd take it and move on. He's a great player and its a shame he gets trashed by the press (he does bring it on himself though).
No man is bigger than the club

Agree0

Marca saying a bid has been made is real madrids way of tapping up a player, they do it all the time.
Suarez has said he's happy to stay so take his word for it and stop panicking, he's not going anywhere.
Agree0
Disagree0
Madrid are a better proposition than us at the moment for sure. But I'd urge any player that wants to leave Liverpool to really think long and hard about it, because I can't think of many who go on to better things and get the same adulation anywhere else, if they do leave.
Agree0

This Suarez talk is boring. It'll be the same every window until he leaves with the rumours.

Marca are no better than the Daily Star or suchlike.
Suarez may well end up leaving, but I'd imagine the article was no more than guesswork.

This is going to get very old, very quickly.
Club should hold out for 50m, accept 45m, and move on.
Enough of this circus.
Agree0
Disagree0
Anyone who thinks Luis is staying at LFC is out of their mind, he's as good as gone, I'd bet all I have he won't be at LFC at the start of the new season. He doesn't seem entirely happy to me so we should let him go with a pat on the back and say thank you. Despite his mistakes from time to time, he'll always be welcome at Anfield and you never know he can still come back some day. In the meantime we should take 50 million for him and buy four or five excellent players to bolster the squad. THEN we will stand a good chance of CL football in 2014/2015. if it means letting Luis go to get us back to the top, then so be it. The club must always come first. Brendan has proven to be a good manager and has done well in his first season, imagine how well he will do with four or five new exciting players in the squad, have faith in him, I can see us actually winning the Premiership now, yes, it's far off at the moment, but we are closing the gap, little by little, don't be surprised if we get 4th or 3rd next season, it could very well happen. Let's just keep the faith and support Brendan all the way, through the good times and the bad times.

If we are to believe what is being written in the press, I would urge suarez to look what happened to a certain mr torres. the grass is not always greener on the other side. stay with a club that is definitely moving in the right direction, and worry that if he went to real madrid, they are a club in transition, and don't even have a manager at the present. if I was him i'd stay and be part of the future

It doesn't really matter what Marca say, the £40m is only a figure that allows the bidding club to talk to Suarez. This is not the price that LFC would have to sell at. that is a price that they will set themselves on what they see as Suarez's market value.

Even after aspas and alberto are we still looking at other forward players or is dcm going to be the next position?
p. s great site, really helps especially with the amount of players that LFC get linked with nowadays {Ed002's Note - Chelsea were surprised how high the asking price was - which given his injury problems makes them nervous and they are looking elsewhere.

If £40m is not a buy out clause. The player is allowed to discuss a move. What happens next? Could Madrid turn around after agreeing terms the player confirms he wants out and will never return to Liverpool etc at that point can they say. erm actually we only wish to pay £25m as his terms were higher than expected etc. Are we at that point totally stuffed? {Ed002's Note - I expect this will drag on some time.

No-one should really be surprised by the story as Real conduct all their transfers through Marca newspaper. It's their way of stirring a player's interest without it being seen as tapping up.
If Suarez is to go I really hope that the club put the arm into Real instead of rolling over and meekly accepting whatever scraps fall from the Madrid table.
I would settle for Benzema, Alvaro Morata and a few quid. if they truly want Suarez.
Agree0

30 May 2013 14:45:38

I like Benzema, to be fair I can't see why he would want to come to us
Agree0

Can't see how Liverpool can attract players of this calibre without Champions League football, let alone without European football in any way.
We have Carling cup and F. A cup opportunities, as well as Premier League football to offer, other than that we are not in any shape to offer huge wagers to Real cast off's. I'd understand if Xabi were included in a deal or was allowed to leave and desired to come back to Liverpool but only because of his fondness and history with us, which would still surprise me tbh.
Less Ego and more Iago. :)

Not going to happen but benzema plus 15 20 million would be excellent business, these things rarely happen though in reality but hey let's see what happens

Take that all day long. If Luis really wants out there is no point keeping him. Benzema is awesome. If this happens early with say £20m plus player we have got a goal scoring top player and decent money for another creative player like Tello or Eriksen.

Hey Eds,
Just heard that Monaco were set to beat us and Tottenham to the signing of Ben Arfa from Newcastle for 10million pounds? Do you know if we actually had any genuine interest in him?
Dani
(Also, were we ever looking at Dries Mertens?) {Ed001's Note - none that I know of, too injury prone to be worth the price. We have looked at Mertens but I think our two Spaniards are instead of him and other options.}

Mertens would be a very good addition to the team, plays RW or LW scores goals has pace, good dribbling and crossing

As we will more than likely be without Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez for the start of the season, BR is looking to bring in an experienced striker on a short term deal alongside Iago Aspas, it's likely that it will be either David Villa, who is on his way out of Barca, or Fernando Torres, who Abramovich is looking to cash in on for as little as 1o million pounds
We are also in the market for Loic Remy if any of the above deals fail to materialise.
It's likely that Downing will leave for Fulham for 8-10 million, That money will go towards any players scouted this summer in the u21s
So it will be a busy window as always for Liverpool

Hi Ed was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me?
1. How much would Luis Alberto cost?
2. Christian Eriksen has apparently opened the door for a move to Liverpool. Just rumours or truth?
3. Finally, with Suarez's agent coming out and saying Suarez is happy at Liverpool, do you think he is really happy or is it just Pere Guardiola trying to help Liverpool get the highest bid possible?
4. Is there any interest from Liverpool in Papadopoulos of Schalke?
Thank You.
ROI. {Ed001's Note - 1. If you mean the lad from Sevilla, the deal is something in the region of 5m, though I am unsure if that is pounds or euros. Also I think that the deal includes add ons which could take the price higher.
2. Truth, but only keeping his options open as it doesn't seem Dortmund are as keen as he thought.
3. Again I just see it as keeping options open, he will wait and see what offers are on the table then decide.
4. There is interest, the price would need to come down though or he won't be going anywhere.}

Eds,
Is it true we already submit 12m offer for Kyriakos Papa? But Schalke wants 15m instead. rumor his father/agent will hold talk wth Liverpool is it true?
Suarez likely sold & with Sturridge injury prone, any name touted to replace Suarez? Jackson Martinez, Soldado maybe?
Heard tht if offer come around 40m or more, Suarez is allow to hold talk with that club for possible destinattion. Care to comment?
If Reina sold, any pparticular keeper that we look at? Begovic, alex Mccarty or even Casillas?
thnx much Eds.
Getting addicted already to this site since transfer window approaching.
-Zareef- {Ed001's Note - personally I don't expect a like for like replacement for Suarez as there isn't one out there. I have no idea what is happening with the Greek defender, it seems his injury history has scuppered any deal due to the high asking price. It could be just a bit of bartering though.

Very similar in style so he will only join as a replacement for Suarez, i'd imagine he would be expensive though at around £18M - £20M

Ed if we manage to get him along with one of Lamela, Rodrigo (Benfica) or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang we could very effectively replace Suarez's influence on the team.

Morning Eds & fellow Reds,
I'm seeing lots of rumours and newspaper reports claiming the deal for Aspas has been tied up, but figures are being quoted between £6-10m. His parent club, Celta Vigo, are in a relegation dogfight with 1 game to play (Espanyol on Saturday). My question for you Eds is this. If they are relegated will we see a lower price i. e.6mill? Or if they remain in La Liga will we have to stump up more towards the top end of 10mill?
I have never seen him play, hope Brendan has unearhed another gem here as it looks pretty nailed on.
Thanks as always for all the hard work Eds,
Fowlers Nostril {Ed001's Note - the price is agreed and not related to that at all. They would need it all just to survive relegation anyway.}

THe Ed is correct. The price is agreed already.
If relegated the clause was at €7million but to get him before other teams and to avoid a bidding war we agreed the price of €9million. Good business. if there was a bidding war it could have gone to this anyway.
The confusion of the figures co es from €9Million is £7.7million.

hi eds,
any chance of navas? {Ed001's Note - Sevilla are looking to sell players, Navas has had treatment for his homesickness and has made statements regarding wanting a new challenge. It seems interest in him, so far at least, has been a little muted, probably because most teams are nervous of how he will adapt. Right now, we have a good chance, if we can put enough money on the table to convince Sevilla to sell, but I would expect others to move in and try and get him too. I really don't know what the lad himself really wants to do with himself, he says he wants a new challenge, but will he really want to leave Spain altogether? Though he might not have a choice, as only Barca and Madrid look in a position to buy him there, neither have yet made a move for him. It is hard to say what will happen, whether we will even really follow up the initial interest is hard to tell. It is such a big risk.}
Believable9
Unbelievable20
Are we really considering Navas ed? I can't see why when his return is quite poor for someone considered to be world class. His goals and assists over the last 3 years are about even with Downing, and even though seville need money they would probably still get 12-15m for a player who had zero goals and only 6 assists in 36 games this year? {Ed001's Note - he does seem, on the face of it, poor, but the stats only tell a small part of the story. Sevilla are in turmoil, they have been for a few years now.}

Hence the sudden interest in Navas, as the club becomes aware of Sevilla's need to sell.}

Navas would be good as he is a goal threat, has pace can dribble and gets in crosses but he is homesick, regardless of treatment I believe it would be a big risk as his fee will be £15M+
