Hi Eds, what's your opinion on Shaqiri looking ( according to the athletic ) like he might stay?
They said as well that Harry Pickering is a cheap option as a backup left-back.
Also do you know of any interest in Hoffenheim youngsters Nick Breitenbucher and Melkamu Frauendorf?
Seen some reports on them lately.
Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool have to consider what they can sell Shaqiri for and how much they could spend on a replacement for the first team squad. If there is no interest it leaves little choice than to stick with him. Many clubs are looking at trading players and few have cash to spend.

Harry Pickering (LB) Crewe Youngster watched at the start of the year by Brighton, Reading and Watford.
Melkamu Frauendorf (AM) is a well thought of 16 year old and I know Union Berlin made an enquiry that was rejected for family reasons, but a transfer to the Liverpool and the UK at this time would be very complicated, although potentially possible.
Nick Breitenbucher (LW/RW) There have been discussions between Hoffenheim and Chelsea about the kiddie but there is also interest from Schalke who are looking at exchanges, kids and Free Agents.}

Eds, what is in the way of the Carlos/ Shaq part exchange? Is this dependent on Lovren being moved on first? if so, how likely is that?
cheers.

{Ed002's Note - Right now Liverpool do not have the money to make it happen and Seville are working on another option whilst other clubs have a declared interest in Diego Carlos.}

Ed, would Diego Llorente be a more affordable option to Diego Carlos? Have Liverpool looked at him?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Yes he would.}
