Hi Eds, What are the chances of us signing Eden Hazard because the rumours of him coming have picked up again? {Ed009's Note - as low as they were when rumours picked up last time; perhaps a one in ten chance if he completely alters his stance.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 21:41:35
Hello Eds what was the Jovanivic deal in the end did we have to pay a percentage of his wage or are we free of him? {Ed002's Note - It was a free transfer. Liverpool will have paid off all or part of his remaining signing on fee and bonuses. We will likely never know exact details but perhaps £1.5M to £2M.}

Hi Eds... Do you think that enrique is the only LB kk wants?I watch a lot of him since January and I just don't see the star quality of the likes of A Cole or even Baines Also I have backed LFC e/w to win the league, what is your prediction? DubRed {Ed009's Note - I am afraid that neither Baines and certainly not Ashley Cole are even possibilities to move to Liverpool. Perhaps that is part of the reason he is looking at players in the ilk of Enrique. I believe that Liverpool will probably come fourth next season, at the expense of Arsenal.}

Liverpool FC are ready to offer both David N'Gog and Sotirios Kyrgiakos on top of £10m for Bolton Wanderers and England international centre-back Gary Cahill.
This is from footybunker.com,any truth mate......
LFC4LIFE {Ed009's Note - just speculation at the minute, but Cahill is a viable purchase if a reasonable price could be negotiated.}

Hey ed, any news on Poulsen leaving mate?

maka {Ed009's Note - I am afraid there does not seem to be anyone interested, and he and his agent are doing everything in their power to insist he wants to stay at Liverpool and sit on his big salary.}

Samba and Gallas are likely options

is soto likely to be moved on? {Ed009's Note - If somebody made an offer for him, we would definitely look to sell. Unfortunately he has been given an obligatory new one year contract having made the required amount of appearances last season and he is unlikely to garner much interest I am afraid.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 17:08:37
Gary Cahill signing rumours seem to be gathering pace, 10m with N'gog and Kyrgiakos going the other way?

cahill to sign in next 48hrs along with enrique both good players but no ricardo tevez's...... source youth team head physio

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 14:36:44
Sorry if I read it wrong, but I just glimpsed at the SSN info box at the bottom and I'm sure it had Aquillani's agent saying something along the lines of:

"If AC offer £8.75m, it will be accepted"

Like I say, that might not be accurate, I only just caught it before it disappeared.

Any truth in this Ed?

Or is his agent just making up more rubbish again?

SMC {Ed009's Note - I am afraid I am not watching Sky Sports News right now, but Milan are an interested club and that price would probably be sufficient to sign the player at this stage.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 14:45:05
enrique will sign but not next week also we will sign dann but nearer the end of the window

please post on rumours

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 14:24:36
Sorry if its already been asked. do you know anything regarding Hazard?

RobLFC {Ed002's Note - There is nothing to report about Hazard. It is simply a blogger starting a rumour.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 14:24:11
Jose Enrique and Scott Dann will arrive in time for the Sunderland game.

There will be one more addition to the team after that, no idea who it is like.

Suarez does not want to leave, just some made up rumour.

I also fully expect Poulsen, Degen and Cole to be off the wage bill by the time the window closes.

Liverpool to hijack move for Hazard after Barcs tell LFC to forget about Afelley bid...? can't see this happening myself, surely no truth in this? Your thoughts Ed's?

Kop of the South. {Ed002's Note - Nope, no truth. It is from a random blog I am told.}

Suarez given five days to prove Liverpool fitness

Luis Suarez will have five days to prove to Kenny Dalglish he is ready for Liverpool's opening game of the Premier League season.

Widespread reports are claiming Suarez will miss the Reds' curtain-raiser against Sunderland at Anfield following a long Copa America campaign that saw the Uruguayan score in the final and pick up the Player of the Tournament award.

Liverpool would be keen to have the former Ajax man available against the Black Cats, whom Suarez tormented at the Stadium of Light last season. The diminutive frontman scored from a seemingly impossible angle and forced John Mensah into a professional foul that resulted in a red card.

Dalglish, contrary to reports, appears willing to give his prized asset as much time as possible to prove his sharpness before the big season kick-off, and Suarez will return to training on Monday before being assessed by both the Liverpool manager and the club's medical staff.

"Luis will be back next week and we will start thinking about him then," Dalglish was quoted as saying in multiple Friday newspapers. "He's had a fantastic summer as an individual and as a team player.

"We'll see how he is when he comes in. We can't predict how he is going to be like. But he should be pretty happy with himself and pretty confident looking forward to the start of the season."

Newcastle yet to receive Liverpool bid for Enrique

Alan Pardew has revealed Newcastle have not received a "concrete" approach for Jose Enrique, but the manager is braced for the defender's departure.

Enrique has been linked to a move all summer, rejecting the chance to sign a new contract at St James' Park in order to seek a club challenging for silverware. The Spanish left-back also expressed frustration on Twitter, insisting Newcastle will never improve while they sell players of the talent of Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan.

Liverpool have been linked to Enrique since the 2010-11 campaign came to a close, although interest appeared to cool when their initial advances failed to progress. However, widespread reports on Wednesday claimed the Reds were set to make a forceful approach for the defender, who will overlook the lack of Champions League football in order to join the Anfield club.

Reports had suggested the Reds were hours away from signing Enrique, something Pardew dispelled, but he did hint that the Magpies were expecting movement in the coming days.

"Enrique is still here and will play on Saturday [against Fiorentina]," Pardew said. "I don't see an issue that he won't start."

Commenting on the Liverpool speculation, Pardew added: "I know there's interest in Jose, but no concrete interest. We are poised to react to that [when it arrives]."

Meanwhile, the Newcastle boss scoffed at the claims of Bayer Leverkusen winger Tranquillo Barnetta's agent, Barry McIntosh, who claimed his player would never consider accepting a £40,000-per-week salary at St James' Park. McIntosh did, however, intimate that his client would be more tempted if the offer came from a club nearer the top of the league.

"In terms of those comments [from McIntosh] I'm not even going to go there," said Pardew. "To say £40,000 is a derisory offer - that's ridiculous."

Eds ... I have read once again on the official LFC website that the press are linking us with Eden Hazard again. Could this be true ? as I though he was Arsenal bound to replace Cesc

Do you think we have the funds available for this purchase ? and do you think we are really looking at at Hazard?

Mark {Ed009's Note - He will not join Liverpool this summer, though I am not at all sure he will move to Arsenal either.}

Swansea City winger Nathan Dyer could be set for a shock switch to Liverpool, after the Premier League new boys signed Wayne Routledge as a possible replacement

Enrique deal agreed

www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/media-watch/enrique-on-way-to-liverpool

the link was on the liverpool website {Ed009's Note - Once again, this is not official and not a comment from Liverpoolfc.tv itself. As far as I know, the talks of a fee being agreed are unsubstantiated as of yet.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 12:59:22
Eds, what chance would you say we have of signing Samba from Blackburn? {Ed009's Note - If we bid: relatively high. We could afford the player and he would likely prefer us to Spurs. Arsenal would be his top choice though. I don't know of any interest in the player though.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 12:22:56
Ed, what's the latest on any incomeings to the club? Cheers mate {Ed009's Note - There is no solid update to give I am afraid. As was the case before I went on holiday last week, I would suggest Enrique is the most likely left back still, and Dann probably the most likely for centre back. At the same time though, there has been nothing more than previous enquiries and a bid for Enrique, so it is only prediction at the minute.

What has changed is, as I am sure you know, outgoings. Jovanovic has left to Anderlecht on a free - and for once it is a genuine free - as we don't have to pay any more of his signing on fees I believe. Aquilani has interested parties in Fiorentina, Juventus and Milan. Ayala is close to leaving.}

Liverpool are lining up Anderlecht midfielder Lucas Biglia as a replacement for Lucas Leiva. news from ssn. but whice club is Lucas joining? any news Ed? {Ed001's Note - none, it is nonsense.}

French giants Paris St Germain are chasing Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole.

news ssn.

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 11:34:09
Pepe Reina is gonna be injured for quiet some time this season. That's why Dalglish signed Doni despite having good reserve options. That's why big european clubs who where monitoring reina during last season didn't even approached him.
it's all fixed over here. sad for football

(Ed, you would publish this truth if you got any guts.) {Ed001's Note - but you are lying, clubs did ask about Reina but were told he was not for sale at any price. That is why he came out publicly and made the statement about being happy at the club and not looking to leave. So clearly your info is not reliable as he was approached.}

Any concrete news on what is going on with Aqualani? All seems to have gone quiet again.
Cheers Boycey {Ed002's Note - Fiorentina, Juventus and AC Milan appear to be the possible options.}

Hi eds where the hell are these rumors of Suarez not settling in at Liverpool from? It's one poster on here saying big clubs are watching him. I've searches everywhere can't see anything I think it's someone just chatting complete crap. There is no substance to this is there? {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware of.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 09:54:57
Ed what is happening with Enrique? I thought he was supposed to be signing but there's no news on a fee being agreed at all. {Ed002's Note - As I said yesterday this still seems to be very much unconfirmed rumours nothing else. Liverpool put in a bid at the start of the transfer window that was rejected. I don't know of another bid for Enrique yet, but there is a lot of speculation.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 10:24:29
HI ED strong rumours being banded about in italian press and websites is that liverpool are selling aquilani to fiorentina and are using him as a make weight in a deal for juan manuel vargas.Also on the left back hunt enrique is not coming because newcastle keep mucking about with the transfer fee so liverpool will turn there attention to carles planus of barca b he is being watched in fifa under-20 world cup comolli is out there now.on the outgoings degen is going on a free to zurich and kyriagkos is heading back to aek athens.

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 09:52:31
Enrique deal will be completed by 5pm on Wednesday. Very reliable source so please dnt ask for names.

i heard that PSG are interested in Joe Cole, have you heard anything? I hope to God it's true {Ed029's Note - I heard the rumour a while back but I don't think it is true}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 09:41:28
Heard from a reliable source due to his fantastic Copa America the "big guns" from Europe and monitoring the Suarez situation - especially as he has not settled at all in Liverpool.

Liverpool are back in for max clayton of Crewe -

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 08:57:32
According to the Daily Mirror, Liverpool are lining up Anderlecht midfielder Lucas Biglia as a replacement for Lucas Leiva.

One line from the back pages this morning is that French giants Paris St Germain are chasing Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole.

ED you have any idea if these two points are true?

O'seunfunmi (Anfield Red) {Ed029's Note - I personally can't see Lucas leaving as he had his best season for us last year and I think he will still anchor the midfield. It is merely speculation as we have bought a few midfielders. I believe the Cole to PSG rumour was an old one from a few weeks back that has resurfaced but I could be wrong}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 08:35:41
Hey ed where are these reports of biglia being a replacement for lucas coming from?
I don't believe they are true but what the hell man {Ed002's Note - As far as I am aware it is no more than speculation, as was the Spurs interest as far as I can tell. Arsenal enquired after the player but there is nothing right now to suggest Liverpool have done. However, there would have been some discussions over Jovanovic so it is not out of the question that Biglia was discussed with Anderlecht.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 01:59:48
France Football reports LFC have reached an agreement for Victorien Angban and after passing his medical he will sign a 5-year contract.

Are liverpool getting Swedish left winger Alex Kacaniklic back from Fulham? former Reserve player that Hodgson sold.

Arrived at Liverpool from Helsingborg in the summer of 2007.

Within two years he was promoted from the Academy

A naturally gifted footballer with a sweet left foot, Kacaniklic is capable of scoring spectacular goals as well as making them.

A wonderful effort against Arsenal in the FA Youth Cup final at the Emirates Stadium in May 2009 showcased his undoubted ability.

He has also represented Sweden at U16 level.

Ed what do you think about Miralem Pjanić from Lyon {Ed009's Note - I think he has the potential to be a very good player indeed. The chances of him joining Liverpool this year, in spite of that, are pretty low indeed.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 00:37:16
What happened with liverpool bid for Adel Taarabt-Midfielder- QPR -French footballer, Compared to poor version of Zinedine Zidane . {Ed009's Note - What bid would that be? The player looks only wants to play for PSV. It is somewhat farcical to compare those two players.}

 

 

 

05 Aug 2011 00:13:24
I'm sure Liverpool have interest in Cahill but it will all depend on whether Chelsea and Bolton arrange a deal for Cahill/Sturridge, which I think Coyle wants.
If not, Ngog would be Coyles next choice and we could get Cahill as a result
