Serbian media are reporting that LFC representatives met with Marko Grujic yesterday. Do you know anything about this Ed002?
{Ed002's Note - I think it extremely unlikely that Liverpool has been given permission to talk to the player.
Red Star Belgrade DM Marko Grujic's move to either Chelsea or Inter was scheduled to happen in January, but it is now unlikely that he will move before the summer. There is also interest from Napoli, Hamburg,Wolfsburg, PSG, Manchester United, Everton, Manchester City and Roma but both Inter and Chelsea looking to an early deal - Chelsea have already held discussions with Red Star and have made an offer that was not deemed acceptable. Inter have now also held discussions but would need to better the offer from Chelsea - which might be problematic for them in the short term as there focus is elsewhere and money is an issue. The club and the player will look to hold out until the summer for his preferred move to Italy if necessary - but I understand he is coming around to the idea of a move to London. Chelsea would be willing to leave him in Belgrade if they could do a deal in January but this is probably one for the summer.}

A certain Mr Joyce from the E####ss has reported our interest Ed. Nothing in it then as far as your concerned. You'll do for me mate.
{Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation as I understand it to be - if he is saying Liverpool has been tapping up the player you need to ask him about it and not me.}

I Like the look of hkm. Looks big and strong, would look better in our midfield and coud even add tk someone like allens game.
{Ed002's Note - He would be a replacement for Lucas if Liverpool are interested.}

Which is long overdue for the simple fact of Lucas growing age, I wouldn't want Lucas to leave but to have a apprentice for him ready made for the day we need him, the boy is only 19 even 2/3 years half starting and he will still only be 22 and hopefully fit to take over from Lucas.
Could you provide us with any news regarding this player ed in the coming weeks about wether you can confirm our interest?
Thanks for the reply.
What do you think of the player btw? Is he highly thought of?

{Ed002's Note - I have told you where the interest is and regardless of Chelsea and Inter having discussions the club are not looking to sell in January.}

If we bought a cm, why would he replace Lucas when Allen is not as good? Lucas isn't exactly ancient guys.

Thanks for the reply Ed002.
Grujic is a DM, and hence Ed002's reference to him potentially be a replacement for Lucas if he arrived.

The player himself has said he was given permission to speak to Liverpool by his club.
