Hi Ed,
Was just scouting through the posts and used the search function but I can't seem to find out if we have made a bid for Shaqiri or not, do you know if we have bid or just expressed interest in him?
Cheers
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of a bid at this time.}

Hey Eds,
Was just wondering if we have looked at Kevin Volland and what other teams are interested in him?
Cheers
{Ed002's Note - Clubs will all be aware how well Volland is doing and Hoffenheim will not want to sell mid-season. Dortmund want to take him in the summer.}

Hey eds, used the search function on Salah there as Ed002 said that he updated us on the situation but I can't seem to find this update, any chance you could copy and paste it again please Ed002?
cheers
{Ed002's Note - There is a difference in valuations.}

Hi eds, I was just wondering if you know if there has been any developments regarding Sakho. I used the search function but the last post that came up was 3 days ago saying no bid yet. Cheers {Ed001's Note - not that I am aware of sorry.}

Do we have any interest in Benedikt Howedes of Schalke? Heard his name banging around last year but haven't heard much since. I'd prefer him to Papadopolous and Anderweild to be honest. {Ed002's Note - Not going to happen.}

Hi Eds,
Currently doing a statistics project where we fit a model which will say where a club will finish in the league (only doing a few teams like Liverpool, Utd, Arsenal, City, Everton, spurs and villa) . I've been looking to find data for excel spresdsheets on totals spent on transfers each year and various other stats but have no joy so far. Was wondering if yee would have any idea where I could find this data? (Looking back maybe 10-15 years or so)
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - The accounts of all clubs are available and will give you the annual expenditure on wages, transfers and, critically, other payments such as agent fees (which you cannot exclude - as an example, Liverpool have spent £40M plus VAT on agent fees over the past three years). If you use transfer fees alone (which Transfermarkt will summarise and have correct at the start of the season but not during the season (due to the way the obtain data) then you will have a distorted view. Finding someone with access to the UEFA data will give you the correct transfer fees but not any of the additional data.
Aside from that I don't know what other data you are unable to find. f you want any such model to be valid, you need to build in such variables as injuries.}

it sounds a big task of a job mate good luck in it.

Not sure whether simple statistic model like logictic regression will give you an answer in your predictions, seems to be more complex econometry problem, but good luck.

Agree with eomer, would be really interested to see the result!
Can't guarantee how accurate the prices are but seem to be to what was reported. Probably a good starter for 10.

Good luck!

Cheers Ed002, luckily for me the lecturer is an idiot and knows nothing about football. Doing only a basic enough regression model to predict the finishing position of a premier league team based on their net transfers, wages and other data with about 5 or 6 predictor variables. He really just wants us to be able to use the statistical software for real world problems so it wouldn't have to be ground-breakingly accurate! Cheers for the info!
{Ed002's Note - If that is the criteria, it won't be accurate at all I am afraid.}

Oh no I know full well it won't be accurate but its something easy to talk about for myself and he won't have a notion of what's going on anyway so it suits all parties involved.
Cheers.

Ed001 was just wondering if you know if Robinson still has a future at LFC? Always thought he had potential and has played great so far vs Roma.
Cheers
{Ed001's Note - he didn't, but he is getting a chance in preseason to change minds on that. It is up to him now, but I expect him to be moved on.}

Eds has Liverpool and Bayern Munich discussed the transfer of Shaqiri or have we only expressed an interest in the player but not yet acted on this interest?
cheers
{Ed002's Note - See an earlier answer.}
17 May 2014 22:51:57
Sorry Ed, incorrect info, was a fake page
{Ed007's Note - No worries mate, that's exactly why we all hate getting bombarded with questions about what someone has said on tw@tter. If people want to know if something on tw@tter is true ask the person that tw@tted it.}

Hey Ed02, was on the Newcastle banter page (checking reaction to Cabaye's impending departure) and see that you've mentioned us trying to pry Grenier from Lyon! You think we have a chance of getting him in before the deadline or even at all?
{Ed002's Note - It was a mistake, it should have said Newcastle.}
13 Jun 2015 01:19:07
Is there any way to find out what the agent has said online Ed apart from here where I understand why you wouldn't want to say it. This kind of stuff interests me as I do business and a module based around negotiations in college.
Cheers
{Ed001's Note - no, it was not said publicly.}

Eds do yee know the name of the Derby keeper? Was watching them the other night and his distribution was spot on
{Ed001's Note - if he was fit, it would be Lee Grant, who isn't usually known for being particularly strong in that aspect, but McLaren has been working on passing a lot with the players.}
