I reckon Sky will buy O2 and then make a grab for Talktalk.
I think Vodafone and Liberty have all but agreed to merge, they just can't agree on how to do it. So they're having their experiment in Holland first as a precursor to a full blown merger in a few years time.
If Liberty were to grab 02, I don't see how Vodafone would welcome that as a major competitor to them in the UK.

Attempt by whom?

Would it not be more likely that 21st Century Fox would buy O2 (as a spoiler to LG since Murdoch and Malone are no longer on the best of terms) with favourable terms for Sky UK using their network then a view to merging them when they eventually buy the total Sky Europe business?
Sky are quite a lean business (debt wise) and I don't think they'd want to be saddled with the amount of debt that an O2 deal would bring.
