Liverpool Transfer Rumours

15 Jul 2026 19:36:44
I heard that we have our eyes on attacking midfielder Sergio Arribas, and that he could be bought fairly cheaply by triggering a £21.4m (€25m) release clause.

15 Jul 2026 16:31:44
Can anyone confirm if Inter have come back with an offer of £27 million but we have knocked back as holding out for £30 million? Read a rumour today but unsure if it’s true.

15 Jul 2026 16:43:12
They are still sniffing, but nothing by way of any actual bid, I don't think, pal.

The NF interest might push them along, oh, and missing out on 2 players they wanted so far also.

15 Jul 2026 17:51:37
27 for what exactly?

15 Jul 2026 18:05:38
Sounds like they are talking about the rumoured Curtis Jones move to Inter Milan.

15 Jul 2026 18:31:39
Can anyone tell me if 27 is the trigger figure?

Ty.

Over n out.

Ta.

15 Jul 2026 13:57:37
Few rumours we are interested in Djed Spence! Any idea Ed? I hope not personally

{Ed001's Note - not heard anything on that sorry.}

15 Jul 2026 14:57:06
Not sure he offers more than we already have, perhaps pace, but is that enough......

15 Jul 2026 15:29:18
Absolutely shocking player. A poor man's Kyle Walker.

15 Jul 2026 15:39:48
Why are we being linked with nothing but MOTD fever or overvalued dross?

Is this Hughes's way of a leaving present?

In other news, VARgentina to win tonight, what's people's thoughts about the circus, I mean, match?

15 Jul 2026 15:49:35
Sorry, m8, I'm going for Argentina to win tonite only because of the media they ruin it for the rest of the world.

15 Jul 2026 16:07:30
England on penalties.
Spain to spank them hard in the final though!!

15 Jul 2026 16:18:32
I would love Spain vs England in the final, shughes55, but I have my doubts, because the refs and media have been tonguing MessiAH since it started, hence the VAR bit.

15 Jul 2026 16:33:31
We will win tonight and win again on Sunday. Come on, the lads!!

15 Jul 2026 17:14:43
Agree strongly with bulk, this has been a sham tournament with some teams being cheated through games, Argentina are the main ones, only in America would they be so blatant in cheating.
We will need be 4 nil up early, making it too hard to catch up even with ref and var helping them out all along.

15 Jul 2026 17:45:36
Liverpool need a right back.

Press: Let's link Liverpool to a right back.

I think this is all it is.

15 Jul 2026 18:08:22
BeKind, I found your use of the word "we" very entertaining. Have you forgotten which pages you are on?

15 Jul 2026 18:38:30
England to do it. Spain to win it Sunday though methinks but it'll be a 50-50 game. Anyway I'm shouting for Old Blighty tonight!

15 Jul 2026 19:34:18
No Mytton, I don't buy into all that rubbish. No idea what bearing the England football team has on politics.

I'm English born and bred and will support them fully.

The players playing for England have diddly squat to do with any of the nonsense and just make people look stupid tbh.

15 Jul 2026 19:48:32
Why would any English person want Argentina to win?! Embarrassing.

15 Jul 2026 19:49:34
I would take Djed Spence in a heartbeat. Can cover both fullback positions, good defensively and offensively. He's the only Spurs player I'd take.

15 Jul 2026 13:26:43
Hi Eds, Hope all is well and shout out to Ned. Just come back from a work trip in Timisoara and all the talk there is Andre Ratiu becoming the first Romanian to sign for us. His current injury is holding things up, but makes sense.

He's 28 so would imagine a small release clause (? ), played for Iraola' s assistant at Rayo so should suit style, was voted best right back in La Liga last year, but can play right wing too. A bit of experience whilst Conor matures.

15 Jul 2026 15:01:13
I actually think that signing would make sense. He is a good build, quick, and has experience, which we have lost a lot of that recently.

15 Jul 2026 16:34:20
This was rubbished several weeks back, unless it's come full circle.

15 Jul 2026 16:40:35
@Man of Todd,

Mohamed Salah, Andrew Robertson, Ibrahima Konate, the three who are definitely leaving LFC "never had any experience"?

15 Jul 2026 18:33:19
007, re-read my message, mate... I am saying we have lost lots of experience really. We're making the same point. 😉

14 Jul 2026 22:05:32
Should make it easier to wrap up Barcola now.

14 Jul 2026 22:18:53
I don't know. I just don't see what all the fuss is about with him.
Maybe I'm completely wrong in this but having watched him about 20 times, I think he's nothing special.

14 Jul 2026 22:21:06
Not for me, just don't think he would cut it in the most physical league in the world.

YNWA, stay safe everyone. ✊🏻

14 Jul 2026 22:21:25
He prob go partying with Roc Nation, then turn up half cut first day pre season! That's the new modern day footballer.

14 Jul 2026 22:31:00
The LW and RW markets don’t seem to be stacked full of realistic and available options atm, so if I have to pick out of Diamonde or Barcola to spend that sort of money on, it’s Barcola for me. He has shown much more quality, more consistently than Diamonde has, and has been a part of much greater systems in Enrique's PSG and the French national team.

Plus, the AFCON factor affects Diamonde and not Barcola. Do I think either are £100m players? No, but the market is crazy atm and Barcola is a superior player currently to Diamonde and doesn’t have a music label managing him. Even if you base it on this World Cup, Barcola had a far better one off the bench, mainly.

14 Jul 2026 22:31:12
He's quick, he can beat players coming inside, he can beat players on the outside. He can be found in the space behind defenders, he can receive the ball with back to goal and turn players. He'll be difficult to defend against in the Premier League.
He's a good player imo. He could be great. He's not a guarantee, though.

14 Jul 2026 22:37:48
Sorry Kman, pay £100 mill for a player just to be "one of the bench". What a waste of money, would rather take a punt on Bowen.

14 Jul 2026 22:41:28
I actually like the look of him. I like that he's always progressive, looking to pass and receive the return pass, always looking to stretch the backline.
Always moving and trying to make things happen.


Really like how he doesn't touch the ball too much from a standing start, and the speed over 5 yards is so good.
Bags of potential in him.
Probably not as good, but do see a little Thierry Henry in him.

14 Jul 2026 22:54:16
Bowen's too old - he'd just be a waste of money.

14 Jul 2026 22:59:04
Intel design, you have misunderstood Kman's post. He was saying that even based on the World Cup, to him Barcola had looked better coming off the bench than Diomande has when starting.

He's not suggesting we buy a £100m player to sit on our bench.

14 Jul 2026 23:08:57
Barcola seems afraid to get stuck in and take command. Standing on the edges of the game.

Defensively is one part. He needs to get stuck in on that side.

But also on the ball. He needs to demand it way more. Show for it more. Be the guy.

There's a lot there to work with but Iraola would need to work a lot with him to get him to top level.

I think the main work is on the mental side. If he can get his head screwed on and work hard, I think there's a hell of a player there.

He is an expensive project though and a gamble. But torn. On the fence. Will welcome him with hope if he does come.

14 Jul 2026 22:44:39
Bollocks Ron, he done naff all in one of the biggest games on the world stage.

14 Jul 2026 23:10:48
Anyway the losing semi finalists have to play the 3rd/4th playoff so it won't make it much easier to wrap him up.

14 Jul 2026 23:14:26
For me, the craziest part of this is that we would be putting all of our "winger chips" on a player that doesn't even play on the place we need bodies the most.

I know a lot of them "can" play Right Wing, but spending 100m to play him out of position, or even worse, get Rio there, is just a terrible look.

14 Jul 2026 23:18:21
Gotta be honest, I think the exact same about Mbappe. Watched him maybe 30 times for three different teams, and he seems like the French Sterling. All speed.

14 Jul 2026 23:19:48
Average players cost £100m now. The standard of footballers has never been lower.

I thought it was gonna be a good game but Spain absolutely destroyed France. The levels were miles apart. Didn't touch the ball.

14 Jul 2026 23:20:27
Wouldn't be paying over 60m for Barcola, no chance.

15 Jul 2026 00:09:51
The fact we don't seem to be moving away from both him and Diomande with us being led to believe there is no one else about just proves that Hughes is not up to the job for me.

15 Jul 2026 00:49:18
Intel design, as Zeddicus said. I meant that for France he has been mainly coming off the bench and making the desired impact. The whole French team just had a poor game again, Spain. I do agree that he isn't a £100m+ player, but neither is Diomande, neither is Wirtz nor Isak nor 90% of these players going for that sort of money.

Out of the targets we have expressed interest in, he is the best and most established. Unfortunately, I don't have the greatest of faith in our recruitment team plucking out a £40m gem from nowhere like they used to, although I do think Bowen would be a decent option. We could do with both, whilst moving on Chiesa and Gakpo like we should be.

15 Jul 2026 04:06:34
Olise was rubbish against Spain, I wouldn't be paying more than £60 million for him.

15 Jul 2026 06:28:49
Rayan for me. Iraola will know better than anyone if he can play at the highest level, and if he thinks he can, surely we go for him.

15 Jul 2026 06:40:49
Of the two, I would prefer Diomande. Seems more physical, plays RW more often, and is younger. Neither look like £100M+ players, though.

15 Jul 2026 07:02:31
I think Barcola could be great for us. When you think of the type of goals we scored with Mane and Salah under Klopp, we attacked with pace and on transition. Iraola's teams force constant transitions. We need players that, once we force those transitions and they are past the defence, are gone. Barcola is perfect for that. When we got into these positions last year, we couldn't capatalise because we didn't have the pace, then we'd either turn back or get the ball taken off us.

The 100 million that's being mentioned is crazy money, but that seems to be the new 50 million, unfortunately. Just don't write him off because of the fee. He is a very good player and could be a star for us.

15 Jul 2026 07:29:14
Diomande would definitely be my pick of the two for what we need. Even if we don't get Diomande, I still don't want Barcola.

15 Jul 2026 07:30:38
I have seen v little of Barcola, but what I have seen he's looked average enough. As I say, only bits and pieces I've seen of him, but if we do sign him for money talked about, he would want to be a lot better than that.

15 Jul 2026 08:21:52
Ron as usual spouting definitive rubbish. He's barely beat any player all tournament, scored very goals and done very little creatively. So I won't take anything you've just said seriously. Fans are rightly sceptical and if it's a shoot out between him and Diomande I'd actually prefer the latter.

15 Jul 2026 08:44:02
I agree with Ron. I like him.

15 Jul 2026 09:11:45
Barcola is just not the player we need.

I'm tired of hearing of players who can 'play left and right'. No. He's effective on the left and only on the left. Stop trying to put a round peg in a square hole.



I will stick with my prediction based on what I'm aware of.

We will sign Diomande, this deal is still very much on and he is someone we need far more than people think.

We will not sign Barcola.

15 Jul 2026 09:21:12
Barcola really is not that good imo. He has no end product and his decision making is poor. He is very fast and is typical of the modern day obsession of the athlete over the football player. Wide pass for me for the money.

15 Jul 2026 09:32:48
Frode Kippers - 7 appearances - 2 goals and 1 assist. Not saying he is great. However, they are not awful stats.

15 Jul 2026 09:34:40
Cue the whataboutery or similar, but I'm not a fan of having any player who uses a celebration that you see in a gangster rap video (specifically, double gun, "pop, pop, pop", etc). Doesn't belong in football where kids copy their heroes...

15 Jul 2026 10:18:58
Young Rio is better than both Barcola n Diomende, let's spend tha dosh elsewhere, like Rayan.

15 Jul 2026 10:29:37
That's crazy talk, Koptie.

Saying Rio is better than Barcola is crazy enough, but then to go on and endorse the signing of Rayan in the same post is nothing short of lunacy.

Rayan would cost a similar sum to Diomande, and is not even as good as Madueke, never mind Barcola, Diomande and Rio.



There's literally nothing in Rayan's game that tells me he's good enough for us.

15 Jul 2026 11:15:35
Neither for me, thanks!! Not for that sort of money!!
After the huge spend last summer, not quite going to plan, we need to get this right and neither player is worth anywhere near the amounts banded about.
I'd rather someone like Bowen with very low risk who's proven in the PL even with a struggling WH side.


Diomande just seems like this summer's latest fashion accessory and flatters to deceive in my opinion.
Let's hope Iraola is allowed some input and has some of his own ideas of who he'd like to work with.

15 Jul 2026 11:17:54
Any team with RN starting on either wing is not going to win the PL or any L for that matter. It's as simple as that. I'd wager Mike Gordon & Co. recognise that fact. Go get Barcola and Diomande. Both will be fantastic for us under Iraola.

15 Jul 2026 11:21:51
100m for a guy who not even a regular for his club? Miss me with that stuff.

15 Jul 2026 11:43:14
Never once have I watched Barcola and thought world beater. The lad is all pace, no end product. He's young, that he might get better, but honestly don't think he's progressing. I think this now is his level. Not £120m for me. Diomande is a small sample size, strong, athletic, half-decent end product. Not a £130m player for me. If nothing's available, I'd rather get Bowen or similar as a stop gap, and see where the market is next summer.

Barcola cheap or out of contract. Diomande may not have another good season, other options may come available. We missed out on Grav just to sign him when it didn't work at Bayern. Next season is a transition anyway. It'll take them that long to get the fitness back up after that circus last season.

15 Jul 2026 12:04:58
Well, he's fast but that's about it. He has never impressed me and the price tag is ridiculous. 100M for a player who is basically the weak link in the PSG team. Very little end product, not interested in defending, and basically a left winger.

If we're going to spend 100M, we can get a very good RW and a very good RB, which is what we need. I doubt the club is actually pushing for this.

15 Jul 2026 12:22:00
Between Barcola and Diomande, I would choose Kvaratskhelia.

15 Jul 2026 12:29:27
So we can have 3 x 100m+ players who are underperforming? No thanks.

15 Jul 2026 13:07:15
Still think Gakpo will be our 1st choice left winger next season.

15 Jul 2026 13:12:31
@ He drank, the club is pushing to sign Barcola according to the ITKs that I trust and believe. I'd like to see your suggestions for both RB and RW that we require.

15 Jul 2026 14:47:49
How so? They've still got to play for third place on Saturday.

15 Jul 2026 14:54:16
Seems it didn't take people too long to forget Ned's post and start with the abuse.

It's ok to have differences of opinion, but calling people out or telling they are spouting nonsense is just not needed.

Amazing the amount of keyboard warriors.

15 Jul 2026 16:02:12
@Shankly's ghost, sure I'm quite happy to give my opinion as long as you don't chew me out! I'm in no position to argue with the ITKs, I just don't think he's what we need. Regarding RB and RW (and let me say, first, I am not Dutch or a Feyenoord fan, I just happened to have watched all their games last year). I'd love us to get Givairo Read from Feyenoord as an RB to rotate with Connor when he's back. Still only 20, got 10 assists last season and can actually defend properly as well as attack. Fast, and a real worker too. The RW who really catches my eye is Adeyemi at Dortmund.

Two-footed too, so no problem switching wings, which sort of dovetails nicely with Munoz. Just coincidence, but Feyenoord's Hadj Moussa is another RW who I have a lot of time for. Algerian international who had a mediocre World Cup, which is a good sign. Very left-footed, and doesn't have lethal speed, but really skillful, really good at getting into the penalty area and causing havoc. Another real fighter too, the sort of player Liverpool fans warm to. We ought to be able to get two of these three for less than 100M. Hope that's some food for thought. Cheers.

15 Jul 2026 16:35:36
HDS - Adeyemi signed for Barca already.

15 Jul 2026 19:52:06
No chewing out meant nor intended, Hds! 🤣 Adeyemi is a Barca signing and none of those left are top level players though. And we need too level players. IMO.

14 Jul 2026 21:01:15.
Potassium, I see one of your replies stating how reliable Ornstein then doubting Fields Robbo VG and Carra.
Ornstein is just another mouthpiece talking crap most of the time.
Only got to look at his articles on Slot and how he was staying, yet our fantastic four stayed steadfast that he was gone.


If you don’t want to believe them, just scroll down, but don’t call them guys given great info week in, week out.
Ned’s taking a break. We don’t need to lose anymore like him.

14 Jul 2026 23:27:58
Ornstein continually said that Slot wasn't going anywhere when our ITK continually said that Slot was going.

15 Jul 2026 06:36:14
What is this post? Were you too far down the replies and wanted to get noticed?

Awww bless.

15 Jul 2026 07:47:00
Beddoerocks, yeah that's exactly right. I wanted to make sure he saw my post to him and to him and everyone else that keeps having a go at the posters that go out of their way to make this site what it is.
Banter on here is sometimes fantastic, some very witty stuff, but then the crap that people get for sharing info if it doesn't happen that day is ridiculous.


So I wanted my post to be a new one for everyone to see. Yes, thought it would have gone in the banter section, but even better in the main page for more people to see because 99% of the people on here appreciate them and just as much as them 4 are people are sick of the stick they get.
You can have a difference of opinion, but there is no need for the abuse they get.

15 Jul 2026 08:26:29
Yet you don't have a problem slagging Slot or players, Grino?
Double standards much?

15 Jul 2026 09:37:49
Slot and the players are unlikely to read these posts. Those who post here are. It's a bit of a difference.

15 Jul 2026 09:49:06
Flash, I have slagged Slot, players, not sure about that one. I was disappointed in a few players last season, the likes of Frimpong, Gakpo, for their performances, but not really said anything bad about them because if they give their all, they can do little more.
But, as for Slot, I stand by every word I said because it was not an ability thing with Slot, it was a commitment. He did not want the job from February 2025, but did not want to give up his salary. He could have walked at the end of the first season, a legend, but he chose to destroy all the legacy while ripping off all the fans that pay good money to follow the club all over the world.


The standards he set last season were nothing short of disgraceful, then we had Salah getting stick for standing up to it.
But, also my posts were shared on here and not directed at Slot because I know he was not viewing this site, he was too busy in Ibiza.
I get my views on Slot might have been a bit over the top, and maybe he deserved more respect, but I would have liked him to show the fans that work hard all week and pay a lot of money to go to games some respect by getting the players fit enough to compete every game.

15 Jul 2026 11:28:31
Slot did deserve more respect than you gave him. grino. You called him a 'vile rat'.
And I wonder what you'd have thought of him had he walked away after one season 🤔.

15 Jul 2026 16:48:08
Rigsby, if he had walked at the end of the season because of family issues, I would have nothing but respect for him for delivering a league title but then putting his family first.
He owed us nothing, so that would not have been a problem. It was the joy he stole from fans because of the one thing everyone in that job should at least give, commitment.
So kids who would have gone last season as a special treat might never get to go again, and because of Slot's lack of commitment, their special day was destroyed because of his greed.
He got paid £6m a year, and I am sure got great bonuses for the league, so he did not need the money.


If you compare his commitment to Klopp, it was never in the same league. Klopp would have never just hung around for that last season just for his £12m a year and not give 100%.
Shankley would have dragged Slot out of the club by the scruff of his neck for his utter disrespect of the fans.
So I stand by my view of Slot, and no one will ever change that.
It was not Slot he had the issue with; it was his actions, and I never want to feel that about any Liverpool manager.

15 Jul 2026 17:30:14
Grino, you've already said, on more than one occasion, that you stand by what you said about Slot, so I don't expect you to change your mind. You shouldn't tell us about respect though, when you dehumanise the head coach of the club for not being very good at his job for a season.
And it's funny that no one mentioned Slot's lack of commitment the season before. I'm not saying it's untrue, but there isn't enough evidence for me to believe it enough to start calling him a 'vile rat' and hating him.

That was you, as well, wasn't it?
Until I know more, I'll file Slot's lack of commitment, stealing a living and robbing the children of treats alongside Jota's injuries being down to his PlayStation activities and the growing list of players disrespecting the club and fans by fulfilling their contracts.

15 Jul 2026 19:08:05
I think it's wild that someone would call a league winning manager, or any Liverpool manager, for that matter, a "vile rat", if that's what he said.

Supporters used to have more respect. It's a bit sad if I'm honest.......

14 Jul 2026 18:22:23
I've genuinely enjoyed reading and sharing information on here over the last couple of years, but lately the hostility has become a bit much.

I think I'm going to take a break for a while.

At the end of the day, this is a rumours site. The Eds put a huge amount of time into keeping it running, and plenty of people take the time to submit information in good faith.

As someone who's shared information myself, I know not everything comes off, and sometimes things change after you've heard them. Other times, people will simply get it wrong. That's the nature of transfer rumours.

Whether a rumour turns out to be true or false, the abuse and personal attacks aimed at the people submitting them have become exhausting to read. It's meant to be a bit of fun, a place to discuss possibilities, speculate, and then see what actually comes to fruition.

If you're after certainty, wait for the club announcement. If you're here for rumours, then there has to be room for people to be wrong without being piled on.

Hopefully things settle down. Until then, I'll be taking a step back.

Diddy Over & Out.

{Ed025's Note - dont let the nay-sayers grind you down Ned, us Editors value your input and sharing of information mate, if you require a break then thats fair enough but my advice would be to not Kow-Tow to these factions who offer very little and expect set in stone information when us in the real world know how quickly things can change, even the great ED002 got it wrong at times because all information can change at the drop of a hat, whatever you decide to do is fine my friend but please do it for the right reasons..

14 Jul 2026 19:11:43
Ah no, Ned. You are a great poster. Everyone has a right to a break, but make it a short one, please.

So disappointing if people who offer nothing but to criticize chase posters off who bring proper value to the site.

{Ed025's Note - absolutely Davey..

14 Jul 2026 19:18:49
Just don't read the haters. You will always get the people on here talking b******* to make them feel better, it's sad really, but I've learned to not take on board all the negative that life throws at you.
Hopefully we see you back very soon, Ned.

14 Jul 2026 19:18:57
Always enjoy hearing your news, Ned.

Don't let the small minority of prats stop you from sharing.

Hope to hear from you again sooner rather than later. 👍🏻

14 Jul 2026 19:14:04
Sorry to read this Ned. I've been coming to this site for more than 15 years. The toxicity has certainly increased over the years. From the majority of readers here I echo Ed's sentiment. Take time out as you see fit. If you come back and post then I for one would love to read your quirky posts and do appreciate them.

14 Jul 2026 19:23:01
Hope certain posters, wind up merchants and trolls that are unfortunately on the site are proud of the fact they are causing other to question being part of the community.

Keep it up lads and you'll be left with only yourselves to criticise and abuse.

No poster deserves it and the Ed's don't deserve all their hard work being ruined through these people.

Be better everyone. Be better.

14 Jul 2026 19:25:03
Very long time lurker, and I did post a long time ago but lost all my deets, but wanted to post up to say, Ned, I've really enjoyed reading your posts, it'd be a sad day to not read your posts.

Hopefully read you again in the none-too-distant!!!

14 Jul 2026 19:25:23
Ned, it will be a real shame if you do take a step back and you'll be missed. I bet the silent minority (like myself) appreciate all the info you've provided.

I think most people have an issue with fake 'ITK's' who Twitter gossip to stir up the fan base, and us supporters are intelligent enough to know the difference between the spoofers and the real thing.

People have even questioned Carra, Robbo, VG & TheFields, who have impressive track records.

You've been honest enough to say you may not get as much info due to your source, but we all appreciate your input into the site nonetheless - and, as you said, things can change quickly in football.

This is a rumours site and is meant to be fun - if you're not having fun, mate, have a little break, but don't stay away too long, we'll all miss the 'diddly out's'.

14 Jul 2026 19:27:24
Will be a shame to lose you for however long, mate. Don't let the haters get you down. There's plenty of us who appreciate your (and anyone else's) input.

Having said that, look after yourself, and take as long a break as you need.

14 Jul 2026 19:28:26
Shame to see you go, Ned, there's plenty of us here who appreciate the stuff you post, but definitely can understand you not wanting to deal with the vocal minority that seem to have taken over of late.

14 Jul 2026 19:38:16
Funny how people can't read. The clue is in the title of the website. It's not called Liverpool-Facts.co.uk.
Some people just love others being wrong or falling down, it's the state of society these days. Nothing better to do, Ned. I swear it's because of these people we still have "do not drink" on bottles of bleach.

14 Jul 2026 19:40:55
We love you, Ned - don't let the knuckle draggers win. You are 1000% more important than them, so don't let them get away with it. They'll see this as a victory. I'll back you on the frontline from now on, so you are the true victor!

14 Jul 2026 19:46:05
Ned, if they go low, you go high. :)

Idiots will be idiots.
Fools will be fools.

But us normal folk appreciate you and others who post in good faith.

14 Jul 2026 19:47:49
How can you hate Ned Flanders?

Chin up, Ned,
Fowler and the OGs on this site have your back.

14 Jul 2026 19:48:51
Ned, this would be a great shame. Your posts are always informative and delivered with great wit.

But taking a bash from anonymous forever angry cynics can take its toll, so I do understand if you want to take a step back.

Either way, you should hold onto the fact that 99% of the people on this site love your contributions - it's just the 1% who tend to shout the loudest.

Now Slot has gone, they have decided to fire their canons on the people who give most to this site.

14 Jul 2026 19:55:17
Enjoy the break, Ned, but please come back. I, like most people on here, value your posts and opinions. This is as close to social media I do, as I can’t be doing with all the p****s. My advice is, just skip the posters who, you learn over time, offer nothing but negativity.

14 Jul 2026 19:56:47
Ned, don't give in to the keyboard warriors. Most of us enjoy and look forward to your posts. Don't give in to the haters.

14 Jul 2026 20:00:14
Stay with us, Ned, you are one of the posters I always look out for.

14 Jul 2026 20:00:25
Hey Ned, for every single toxic poster there's a hundred who appreciate you and the ITK's contributions. This is a place for Liverpool fans to share, enjoy and respect one another. We all have a common interest, but some of the stuff I read would suggest otherwise. YNWA, my ar@e.

14 Jul 2026 20:00:37
Agree with all.... Stay, Ned, ignore the trolls. We appreciate all you share.

14 Jul 2026 20:14:50
Please don't stop, Ned. Your posts are really good. We appreciate the rumours (I know I do and you will see plenty of support from others too). I especially love the quirkyness of your "diddling," and it will certainly not be the same without those posts.

14 Jul 2026 20:18:19
Won't somebody Please think of the children?

14 Jul 2026 20:18:42
I think Ned is one of the genuine posters, and I personally enjoy reading your posts. However, this forum has recently become a hotbed of people claiming to be in the know, or receiving genuine information, which is actually becoming tiresome. I have no issues with people sharing rumours, and we are genuinely lucky to have people like Ned, Carra, Fields and VG who I genuinely think have access to info, but it's when you get the random username claiming they have info, it just gets a bit boring.



If you want to share a rumour, there is absolutely no harm in saying it's your opinion. Over the years, I've found the best part of this site is just sharing thoughts on who we should and shouldn't sign. The ITKs were a bonus.

Hope to see you back soon, Ned. Hope the leftorium is doing well!

14 Jul 2026 20:22:11
Don't do that, mate.

Sod the haters.

14 Jul 2026 20:23:50
When it's your post, Ned, I know it's worth reading and enjoyable. But I agree, mate, there can be a slight toxic element to this site, which is a shame.

I think this isn't just this site. Some people are at the ready to hammer others for the slightest thing.

Some people are just absolute Richard heads.

14 Jul 2026 20:27:25
Where is the hostility? Seems pretty chill to me.

Take care, Ned. 🥸

14 Jul 2026 20:28:42
It's a rumours page for rumours. Personally like reading them, and Flanders, you might be a bit of a Charlie Church, but your posts are funny. If a rumour turns out right, then fantastic; if it's not, well, it's not the end of the world. Worse things happen than a rumour in a page meant for rumours not happening.

14 Jul 2026 20:31:20
Hi Ned, I enjoy your Intel and posts. Please don't stop posting.
When I get down, I try to make myself understand that, with good intentions, there will always be bad. Otherwise there would be no meaning of good. Try and rise above, my man.

14 Jul 2026 20:31:54
Ned, you bring a smile to me and I'm sure many others with your "Diddly Ho" "Diddly out" signature move! I don't even care about the rumors; you have an infectious personality! So please know that many people read your comments and value your contributions to this community. The world is a hostile place these days, so please don't isolate yourself.
YNWA.

14 Jul 2026 20:33:07
Don't do it Ned, I've thought about it many times myself, but it's far too much of a good site with the majority of posters being sound. As well as some of the best people around editing this site to make it what it is.



It's that time of year when the little impatient kids start turning up, don't let them put you off posting.

As FPF said, Fowler and the OG's have got you, mate.

14 Jul 2026 21:01:39
It's just youngsters, Ned. Today's generation. No manners, and thrive on causing drama. Rise above it, else they'll all take over.
It's just about recognising those who have genuine comments and those that don't. Easy to pick out, and once you do, it's water off a duck's back... especially for us oldies.

14 Jul 2026 21:04:33
Do what's best for you, Ned. Your mental health ain't worth compromising for the knuckle-draggers, mate.

14 Jul 2026 21:22:29
Have always enjoyed your posts, Ned. It would be a real shame for you to stop, there's always been naysayers. I would pay them no heed if I were you. By all means take a break if it's getting to you, but do come back.

14 Jul 2026 21:25:16
It would be a shame to lose your contributions, Ned, where else will I hear rumours that end with "diddly out".

14 Jul 2026 21:34:09
You are very much valued on this site, Ned.

14 Jul 2026 21:36:32
Hey Ned,

I think i speak for 90% of us by saying, we appreciate everyone's efforts that have contributed to the success & development post ED002! I don't vocalise my appreciation for most of the contributors ( as do many), which leaves the few very frustrated individuals to dominate the feedback.

There's a lot more silent posters than you think that do value all of your inputs. Unfortunately, the dummy-out-the-pram posters take the limelight which should be ignored!

It's all a bit of fun this! We wouldn't be on this site if we all didn't love this club, some just have a very funny way of dealing with the highs & Lows!

Look forward to your future contributions buddy!

14 Jul 2026 21:38:51
No, Ned!
Your contribution to this site is not only welcome, it's outstanding. Liverppol Rumours will be the poorer without you. Losing both you and Ed 002 would be a catastrophe.
Please (just for my own selfish reasons) don't go!
With love ans the kindness of regards
Killingholme_Clay

14 Jul 2026 21:44:12
Good luck Ned. :)

To the ITKs, genuine question, is the anonymity not helpful for dealing with comments from other random and anonymous posters?

14 Jul 2026 21:47:21
Ned gutted people have made you feel like this is the time we live in unfortunately.
The amount of abuse I've seen Carra Robbo fields take over them saying slot was done was a joke only for them to be right.
Yet the people that doubt Them listen to the twitter tw@s the Italian gobsh!t and the reporter clickbait d!cks.


The site lost Macca, ed002 was close the going because of the crap he got before he was sadly taken.
I can say Ned I love your posts insightful with a touch of humour.
So don't let them get to you Ned just skip the bad posts this site needs people like you and 99% of the people on here respect your posts and appreciate them.

14 Jul 2026 21:52:04
Don't go neighborino. We love the diddley do. YNWA.

14 Jul 2026 19:29:32
I have been an avid reader of this site for many many years. I never bothered to post as I know sweet FA in terms of info.

I just wanted to say Ned: I for one enjoy reading your titbits. You along with the other usual suspects who we all know have a great reputation help to make this site what it is. Along with the great work by the Eds.

I enjoy reading everyone's views. Even if I don't agree with them.

Don't let a few negative people get you down. The vast majority of us really do appreciate what you bring to this page!

14 Jul 2026 21:50:04
Kinell Ned, what's Springfield without it's very own Yosser Hughes, as the Eds say don't let them mushes get you down lad, your sound

14 Jul 2026 21:51:33
Ahh Ned sorry to hear that mate. It's easy to say "ignore the knobs", but if its affecting you then I don't blame you. Hope you're back soon mate. My message to the people who have given you, Carra, TheFields and anyone else who shares info a hard time is this: these people have made a greater contribution to this community than you have. If you're incapable of accepting the simple fact that all rumours don't turn into actual transfers, that information is shared in good faith but events can change.

That you choose to take cheap shots at the very people who contribute to this community, then you don't belong here. For the good of this site, either leave it, or do not post any more comments again, because you ruin it for everyone else and are not welcome here!

14 Jul 2026 22:01:01
Ned, don't step away. I enjoy your posts and I enjoy any snippet of information that comes through here whether it's on the money or wrong. I just love the rumours and chance of signings.

An idea for the admins... Respect to the posters, any cruel negativity should be met with a yellow card, a second episode should be met with a red and time out, a third and it's pack your bags.



This site would be nothing without the hope and dreams of signing players, we need the posters who are in and around people who 'may' have an inkling what's going on.

14 Jul 2026 22:06:14
One of the good ones imo.

14 Jul 2026 22:17:59
Ned, I did the same, and I completely understand your reasoning. It's draining and negative.

You are only sharing information passed on that you have been told.

Always found your posts great, to be fair.

Haven't experienced the same, and choosing to move away from posting, I get it and won't beg you to stay.

Mental health is so important, and people don't realise how much silly comments, abusive tone and attitude wear people down.

All the best fella.

14 Jul 2026 21:02:43
Ned.
You're one of the few who's posts I scan for first.
I reckon there will be far more who appreciate your posts than those that don't.
If you need to take time out we appreciate why, but don't let the f*****s get you down.

Im a long time reader. Occasional poster. always look for yours, thefields, robbo and carra. and ed01 and ed025 replies before reading through fully.

14 Jul 2026 22:27:07
Easy to tell Ned, or any ITK, or.even any poster to.simply ignore the haters.the problem is we all have at some point, been personally affected by a response to at least one of our own posts. We know what it feels like, but i could never imagine what it.must be like when regular posters like Ned, get the amount of abuse that they do.

For selfish reasons, I hope you dont.take a break mate, .but its understandable that you feel that way.

We'll never stop the toxic replies at times, but at least they are in the minority.

Ed's do an amazing job, but the site loses a little.something when posters like Ned don't share.

14 Jul 2026 22:43:47
Sorry to see you go, Ned.

Some of these trolls are not even Liverpool supporters, and they just come here to wind people up and cause division.

Thanks for all the info you've shared. I always enjoyed the Flanders comedy to it too.

14 Jul 2026 22:48:09
Ned, don't let the minority get you down!. ❤️

14 Jul 2026 23:01:01
Always enjoy reading your posts, Ned, often make me chuckle tbh. Can't say I've seen anything too hostile on here myself, but maybe that's just me. Hope you stick around.

14 Jul 2026 23:10:20
Long live the Ned! Long live the Ned! Long live the Ned! Long live the Ned!

Don't let the minority win mate.

14 Jul 2026 23:11:02
Oh now look. Flanders gets all the love about his funny posts and decided to go and concentrate on his already successful stoopid Leftorium Store and now we won't get his inside info any more. Stoopid knuckle draggers. I miss stoopid Flanders.

Hopefully only a short break, Ned. This site needs a bit of craic every now and again. See you soon.

14 Jul 2026 23:11:42
Stay with us, Ned lad.

14 Jul 2026 23:29:51
Not posted for a while but reading this makes me sad, Ned. Don't give in to the naysayers.

Love reading yours and other people's rumours on here. This is the whole concept of this great website!

It's ironic and amazing to see several replies to your post from people who 'are' naysayers most of the time. Hypocrites!!!

14 Jul 2026 23:54:22
Sorry to hear that, Ned. The world has become toxic because of social media and too many keyboard warriors out...

It's like you're not allowed to debate or disagree with people anymore without people getting offensive with it.

I enjoy your posts anyway, and it's clear from the comments, so many do, so I hope you stick around.

YNWA!

15 Jul 2026 00:17:28
I think you're seeing from the replies that there is much love on here for you, Ned. The rewards for everyone here are bigger than the price you pay. What you give here is important, but your wellbeing is more important than anything else. Hurry back though...

15 Jul 2026 00:21:22
Ned, whatever you decide to do, I must say I have always enjoyed your posts, and you were one of my few go to guys on here. Stay strong and stay going. You are great craic!

15 Jul 2026 02:15:45
Big love to Ned.
Just to add weight to the thread.

15 Jul 2026 04:09:27
Next week we will probably sign, or what you said will be true. These trolls are ridiculous, and without you guys the ITK's would be nothing.
Keep it coming la! It is nearly always right from you, Carra, and the other guys, but I get where you're coming from.


You're trying to give info you have and excite people, and all they do is moan and say the opposite.
Take your time, and you know what is going on, and we will read it when it's actually done, and you can sit back and say I told so so.
Howdy ho neighbour.

14 Jul 2026 23:24:28
Ed's maybe more filters and stop these trolls giving abuse! I've not seen any in fairness but if it's there we don't want it here!!

15 Jul 2026 06:40:35
Good on you, Ned.

This used to be informative and Fun.

The negativity and personal attacks are tiring and not good for anyone's mental health.

Hope you return. All the best.

15 Jul 2026 07:21:17
Good luck, Ned. Take a break and hope to see you back soon.

Do much negativity and toxicity on social media these days and too many keyboard warriors.

A fair few on this site at times too - trolls, those that while professing to support the club completely forget that the inclusiveity and welcoming nature are what everybody loves about the site and club - YNWA are just random letters to these 'people' and so many random user names these days are the ones that seem to shout the loudest.



I hope you continue to share what you hear, don't let these few drag you down - you're better than them and have the support of nearly everybody on this page.

14 Jul 2026 19:27:49
Don't diddly go Ned!

We need characters like you, it's the heartbeat of the site, but your comments are not lost on me. Apart from ribbing Ed025 occasionally I try to take the rumours as they are meant to be, just that. It's the only place I trust for getting stuff right, but wouldn't criticise anyone who puts their head above the parapet. For the ones who clearly don't I just ignore, what's the point in fuelling their egos?

To all the randoms who criticise and abuse for the sake, have a day off.

15 Jul 2026 07:08:57
I took a break about a year ago for the same reason. Not been near or by but opened the site today to see if anything has changed. The Eds were always solid and did a great job with some added humour and they, above all, really don't deserve the haters comments.

I was hoping to come back and see a refreshing change. I haven't read through much yet but this post, Ned, does not give me hope.

What are these people all about?

{Ed025's Note - i wish i knew Metro..

15 Jul 2026 07:42:55
I chose to do the same Ned, many years ago. back in the days of Ken Aguero and the classic rumours we had back then, alongside the legendary wit of Ed002. I've never really come back, barring the odd comment, it'd be a shame for you to go, but totally understandable. You do what's best for you fella, and tah for the posts to date. 👍

15 Jul 2026 09:16:00
Sorry to see you go, Ned, and hope you'll be back soon, but fully understand the need to walk away when the need arises.

Stay strong YNWA.

15 Jul 2026 08:39:55
What a great response for you Ned. So many posting support who don't comment often or at all.
Would love to know how many visit this site per day for updates and little snippets of information? I bet the majority is genuinely nice guys who appreciate your post Ned, like I do, compared to the the ones who comment often with negative posts.
I tend to look at the names of the posters before reading the comments and scroll past the ones I've decided to be douches.

Hope you change your mind but you've got to do what you feel is best Ned.
Big shout out the Ed's, not sure how you manage. Getting through all these posts and keeping the site running for our benefit must be a difficult task!


Over and out.

{Ed025's Note - like most things in life the majority are nice people mate but you will always get the odd pot herb, you wont believe the amount of posts that get binned but most of it is good stuff..

15 Jul 2026 10:27:15
Ned, don't let the few who find meaning in life by others being wrong, just to justify their own sad existence. There is much love and respect on here for you, pal.

15 Jul 2026 11:39:04
Rise above the hostility, Ned.
If you can't, fair enough & best wishes to you.

15 Jul 2026 12:15:16
Just re-registered after a lost password just to say I appreciate the input from every rumour submitted and especially those who go above and beyond.

A rumour site without rumours is a dead site. Go look at the Arsenal rumours site and see what this place would be like without people like Ned contributing. Days without posts, no interaction, just wouldn't be on my daily read list with the people who post here regardless of accuracy.



If you want any degree of certainty, this isn't the place, but if you want to get some insight into how football transfers work, how things change so quickly and actually get a little peek behind the media curtain, then maybe be kind to those who provide the information.

S.

15 Jul 2026 12:18:09
I used to post a lot on here about 20 years ago, but stopped due to a long-term illness and other reasons that I won't go into (I had a different use name in those days). Started posting again recently, though I am not at all ITK, and I can understand how you feel. It was much more friendly and basically just more fun in those days, I don't recall endless dogfights between users. There is a certain amount of smugness and schoolgirl-level back-biting on here now, and it's not pleasant to see.

I hope you take a break and then come back, the more cordial posters there are the better. I'm not going to blame any particular generation for this, it just reflects the sadly poor level of discourse all over the internet, regardless of subject. Anonymity should not be a cover for bad manners and bullying. Take care mate.

15 Jul 2026 12:24:03
All the best, Ned. Hope to see you back soon.

15 Jul 2026 16:07:47
From more of a lurker/reader, Ned, just want you to know I greatly value ur info and humor. Hope to see you back soon.

Thanks, Neighbor!

14 Jul 2026 14:09:59
Hi all,

As seen today via David Ornstein, Liverpool have begun briefing journalists regarding the Barcola deal. As I have advocated for the past few months - I strongly believe Barcola will be a Liverpool player. All parties are happy to conclude a deal and talks with Barcola's agent have been very positive in the last few days.

14 Jul 2026 16:04:55
Well flump me! Keep it up, Vg, it's nice. 😎

14 Jul 2026 16:07:59
Cheers, Vic, any idea of the fee yet?

14 Jul 2026 16:13:58
I'm not really sure of a fee, but I've heard whispers of a price in the region of 100m pound. Talk of 150m upwards is incorrect.

14 Jul 2026 16:14:13
Thanks, VG.
Keep up the good work. All information is welcome.

14 Jul 2026 16:22:37
You're a legend, Vik.

14 Jul 2026 16:26:30
I believe you, VG, even if you didn't space.

14 Jul 2026 16:33:17
Surely Bayern Space should be

Bayern


Space

?

14 Jul 2026 16:36:34
VG, you are a legend, keep it up, mate. I have a feeling Barcola is probably already under way. Be interesting who you think is on the right hand side.

14 Jul 2026 16:37:05
Cheers, VG.

14 Jul 2026 16:40:38
Cheers, Victor.

14 Jul 2026 17:16:51
Alright, Victor...

What I don't understand, the club releasing info regarding Barcola yet nothing for the likes of Fabhino, and more recently Munoz out of the blue?

Cheers, Drogie.

14 Jul 2026 17:24:53
It all depends on the deal. In Munoz's case, that was a late hijack. By publicising our interest, we only strengthen Newcastle's position by allowing them to negotiate further.

In Barcola's case, the understanding both PSG and Liverpool have is that we are his preferred destination.

14 Jul 2026 17:40:52
Cheers, Victor. Nice update.

14 Jul 2026 17:47:34
I'm confused why we are going for a LW when we clearly need a RW.

14 Jul 2026 18:26:26
Barcola can play all across the front 3. Perhaps the plan is we sign him this season, he plays on rw, then next summer we sign a Diomande or another rw, and he moves over to the left. That’s what we did with Mane. There are not a lot of great wingers out there.

BB is probably the best that is available, so we just have to get him and make do. It is still an improvement to what we currently have.
Also, with Isak, not necessarily bad to have a winger who goes outside and crosses/pulls back.

14 Jul 2026 18:30:53
The RW market seems to be pretty empty at the moment. Even Diomande is primarily a left winger (although he has played on the right for RBL).

14 Jul 2026 18:31:01
Skezza, Barcola is right footed, so could easily play on the right if needed, although I do think he generally plays on the left. I guess it depends on what formation we're going for, especially as we already signed Munoz, who also prefers to play on the left......

14 Jul 2026 19:05:28
Maybe move Rio to RW.

14 Jul 2026 19:36:18
Agree Rio can play left or right, but I think counting on Rio to start the majority of games is folly. He needs to grow and add muscle.

14 Jul 2026 22:59:59
Now that France are out of the WC, Barcola is obviously unhappy and would probably welcome a move to LFC. I think we should have him on the right, Gakpo/Ngumoha on the left, and Ekitike/Isak up top. Title winning lineup!

15 Jul 2026 00:22:47
Now we're talking. Thanks, VG.

14 Jul 2026 14:41:29
The last 48 hours have seen significant dialogue with PSG over Barcola. Barcola keen on the move. Not saying it will be done but there is a lot of groundwork being done.

14 Jul 2026 15:48:26
Thanks for the info.

PS. If you want to have any credibility on this page, then you need to get with the program and space out your sentences.

14 Jul 2026 15:51:29
Should just rename this place LFC Twitter. More ITK's than KFA's.

14 Jul 2026 16:30:56
Cheers, starseeker. Not after credibility. Don't usually post. Just sharing what I've been told.

14 Jul 2026 18:14:39
Who gives a flying f*** abouts spaces !!!
Less of the bull, focus on the job, all sounds promising and appreciate the info.

14 Jul 2026 18:58:18
🤣 @ FloM.
