Now Jones is on his way, will this finally start the ball rolling? It's so frustrating waiting and I trust the ITK's but just want to see the likes of Barcola training with the team ready to go, I have this horrible worry what happened last season with Guehi will happen again with Barcola.

Cheers

Pretty sure we are not going to get him. We can't sign him for 2 months. Hughes doesn't care. I can't believe how, for the whole summer, we didn't buy a right winger. Season is over even before start.

Cheer up, Rudjo!!

It's not as bad as you think lad.

20 Aug 2026 11:07:28
Rudjo, cheer up, man.

I remember when we used to say every year this is our year.

It's the biggest deal we are doing this year, so finance needs to be correct as there are also other areas that need sorting too.



We are probably still paying for other signings made last season and funds aren't endless.

I believe it will happen.

But the delay has definitely been frustrating. Deals can close quickly, such as Munoz and Araujo.

I expect us to sign Bracola or the club knows the fans would be on the streets. My only grief would be that we would pay the money what PSG always wanted from the first day!!

Another day no Barcola. Been 3 weeks as a done deal.

Sukhyrai, No self respecting Liverpool ever says this year is our year. The amount of areas needing attention, and here we are on the eve of the pl kucking off, and we are scandalously short in so many areas. What the actual f*** has Hughes been in the last 6 months? He has been an unmitigated disaster of an appointment.

20 Aug 2026 11:19:42
Hughes is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.

Tell me you weren’t buzzing when we signed Wirtz and Isak last summer. We all were. Finally, Liverpool FC are going after the very best talents in the world and are prepared to pay the money takes to get them.

Then we have a bad season and everyone says it’s Hughes’s fault, he overpaid etc, etc., even though he did shave substantial sums from the asking prices.

Fast forward to this summer and we are going after the very best winger on the market. PSG have quoted a price and Hughes is trying to get a deal done that suits us financially. PSG don’t need the money and don’t particularly need to sell him, so it was always going to be a tough negotiation.

We could’ve always just paid them the £145m they wanted, but then Hughes would get slated for overpaying.

I’m not here to defend Hughes, like everyone who seems to want to comment on his ability, I have no idea how good he is. I have to say though, since he’s been at the club, it’s been refreshing to see how ambitious we’ve been in the transfer market.

In years gone by, Munoz would’ve been bought as our main winger, hoping we could improve him. These days, we have more ambition than that, and I quite like it.

Hi all,

As stated previously, we're working to make a bid for Adam Wharton. He's keen to play for us.
The cost is lower than what the media sources say ...
At the same time, CP have an arduous task to bring in a replacement in time. Make of it what you like.

6


20 Aug 2026 11:01:46
Going into the last two weeks of the window, negotiating with Palace over a player to whom they haven't a replacement lined up. That worked out last summer didn't it?

6


20 Aug 2026 11:09:19
Please help me, why did we not negotiate this earlier in the window? What did we save?

1


20 Aug 2026 11:15:18
The club were doing it to wind you up, @WHNDM.

1


20 Aug 2026 11:17:31
Just leave the midfield as it is. 3 out of the 4 won the league. Who does Iraola drop for Wharton? Szobozlai and Gravenberch just signed new deals. I think Macallister leaves on a free in 2 years, so go and get him next year. Palace are a nightmare to deal with, so left it a bit late to get a late deal for their best midfielder.

1


20 Aug 2026 11:31:26
My uneducated guess would be that Jones is gone, so now there's more of a need for him.
He may have been a target even if Jones stayed, but now there's room for a good squad player.

Spurs in talks over Savinho and Marmoush, so Gakpo staying?

4


19 Aug 2026 21:35:31
No, as they still want Gakpo as he plays on left, Savinho plays rw & Marmoush plays no 10 or as striker.

19 Aug 2026 21:37:56
They want CG for CF.

van de ven signed spuds contract extension today, LFC interested in Nwaneri of Arsenal, who are close to signing Konsa and Alvarez in this mornings papers. Reinjders gone from moneychester to Saudi League, Haaland has a mystery injury, Fernandez and Cold Palmer to moneychester also, doing the rounds, Rodri gone the biggie they are doomed with a midfield two of Kovacic and Anderson, none of them would get into our four midfield quartet, Mascara of moneychester favourite at the bookies for the big welly first.

Ed025 Moyes after Nwaneri on a season-long loan, good loan signing that, and for Arteta to take points of rivals by EFC doing well against PL opposition.

4


20 Aug 2026 06:55:00
Liverpool should be trying to sign Nwaneri.
Rayan would be my first choice for the rw, but I've been hoping we could get Nwaneri for some time.
Pace, ball skills, he has them in abundance and he's homegrown. Needs to work a bit on strength, but he's very young and that will come.


He also has to work on game intelligence and final ball. That will definitely improve under Iraola.
Arsenal have Madueke and Max Dowman, so Nwaneri has to make a decision on his career. He needs game time.

19 Aug 2026 19:35:31
Does anyone know if there is any truth in Baleba being offered to us instead of UTD? And how he wants us over them? I think he’d fulfil that 6 role, has Premier League experience and maybe is a safer bet, fitness wise, than Gavi? Obviously if Gavi can stay fit and prove it, I’d take Gavi.

4


19 Aug 2026 21:14:42
I hope not. What a terrible signing that would be.

14


19 Aug 2026 21:16:56
I think this has just been made up to piss Utd fans off.

12


19 Aug 2026 21:16:56
He's desperate to join Utd.

7


19 Aug 2026 23:12:31
No reliable sources, just bottom-tier fan accounts. He's not an improvement on Grav anyway.

1


19 Aug 2026 18:09:26.
Kieran Morrison looks like he’ll go on loan to Sheffield Wednesday.

Calvin Ramsay looks like he’ll go on loan to St Mirren.

Ifeanyi Ndukwe looking like he’s going to Levante on loan.

Curtis Jones sale agreed to Inter Milan.



I did say the other day we’ll probably see 10-12 players leave the club in these final 2 weeks of the window and it looks like that exodus is starting. Hopefully clearing space for some new signings!

28


19 Aug 2026 18:36:56
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near.

8


19 Aug 2026 18:47:42
Do you still trust Richard Hughes to make signings? He might blow 130 mill on 1 player again, but that'll likely be it.

15


19 Aug 2026 18:57:41
What's that slogan, stay calm and support Liverpool, so stay calm, allow the process to work and enjoy all the new names.

16


19 Aug 2026 19:05:38
Calvin Ramsay looked sharp in pre-season, should keep him and give him some hours.
I would prefer Chiesa to be offloaded, Endo I will still keep until we have reinforcements in midfield.

8


19 Aug 2026 19:20:45
Ramsey is linked with St. Mirren. That, in itself, shows his level. Keeping him would be a waste of a non homegrown spot.

17


19 Aug 2026 19:24:52
Bezos is skint mate. Big season for Szobo playing Right Back and Right Wing.

When Isak gets injured in our 3rd game, who's upfront? Wirtz. 😂

It's been a terrible window this for Liverpool. Should've just kept Salah.

26


19 Aug 2026 19:41:46
Somehow Hughes has successfully managed to further downgrade an already threadbare squad this summer. The sooner he and Edwards feck off, the better.

Robbo replaced by one of the worst footballers I've seen in a red shirt in the last 10-15 years. Couldn't even get a game at Roma.

Konate replaced with a loan signing.



Jones replaced with a kid.

Salah replaced with no one (so far).

Not to mention, Endo, Chiesa and Elliott are still going to be employed by Liverpool Football Club well into 2027. Absolute madness tbh, Edwards and Hughes have been complete and utter disasters.

17


19 Aug 2026 19:48:12
Ramsay classes as non homegrown, so good to loan him out. Hopefully Chiesa, Endo and Elliot are moved on.

6


19 Aug 2026 19:50:34
I'll judge Hughes on the 1st September.

19


19 Aug 2026 20:01:15
Ramsey is 23, by the way, and his contract is up next summer. Surely if he's been loaned out the club cannot be thinking of giving him a new contract. The very fact that at 23 and having featured in a fair bit of our pre season, St Mirren are the club showing most interest in him shows where he's at in his career.

Just let him go play there for a year and leave on a free next summer. And good luck the lad.

10


19 Aug 2026 20:01:45
What are you on about, Wirtzy?

Kerkez has looked good this preseason, and he never played for Roma...

Jaquet and Araujo are both miles better than Konate...

Nyoni has a much higher ceiling than Jones...

And there's still time to buy a RW...

Unclench, my man. Unclench.

16


19 Aug 2026 20:06:05
Edwards is gone so the blame lies solely with Hughes. Yes, it's been an underwhelming transfer window, and we will deserve everything we get, or, to be more precise, the trophies we won't get.

4


19 Aug 2026 20:24:23
The blame for what exactly, WD40?

5


19 Aug 2026 20:26:16
Gojonesgo, I guess he was talking about Tsimikas and the replacement being this summer not last summer where Robbo's actual replacement occurred.
Extremely dramatic, however.

Also Konate's replacement was/is Jacquet, not Araujo. Both are miles better than Ibou.

Salah was shocking last year, so Rio at RW is probably an upgrade, although I get the feeling Barcola will play out there a lot with Gakpo at LW.

We'll probably see a very up for it Gakpo this season.

If we can get Wharton in as well as Barcola, our XI does look pretty dangerous.

12


19 Aug 2026 20:30:14
Gojonesgo,...

Kerkez has quite clearly not replaced Robbo's role of last season as the lb rotation option.

Jacquet was bought when the club were expecting to keep Konate, so he's evidently not the Konate replacement. It's a short term loan, which I don't hate, but it's a short term solution nonetheless.



Nyoni having a higher ceiling than Jones has nothing to do with the fact he's not ready to play nearly 3000 minutes of football this season.

And we haven't bought a rw and very well may not buy a rw until next summer.

4


19 Aug 2026 20:35:12
Drama! And back in the real world...

4


19 Aug 2026 20:50:00
If Jacquet is Konate's replacement, then why were the club still trying to get Konate to sign a new contract in April when the Jacquet transfer had already been agreed?

8


19 Aug 2026 20:51:04
But, hey, exciting times as McConnell is staying!!

2


19 Aug 2026 22:02:17
@ The Fifth Element, because they're wrong. As you say, the club bought Jacquet with the expectation of also extending Ibou. So not exactly rocket science that Araujo has been brought in to replace Ibou.

Leon, I'll judge us at the end of the window. Either way, Hughes is a buffoon and is the top tier management. Doesn't make me or anyone else less of a fan.

Rumour has it James McConnell is staying and will be part of the first team this season.

14


19 Aug 2026 17:38:29
Excited if true to see him in the Carabao Cup and whatever minutes he can get.

5


19 Aug 2026 17:41:16
Just like a new signing.

13


19 Aug 2026 17:42:00
Nyoni takes Jones' place and McConnell, Nyoni's spot.

12


19 Aug 2026 17:44:18
He's a neat and tidy player but with very limited physical attributes at Premier League level.

9


19 Aug 2026 17:49:52
Needs to go out on loan, turns 22 in a month and is not going to play. With Jones going, we need to bring a MF in. This thinking that we will be alright with Endo, Nyoni and McConnell over a long season will end in tears. Would be a couple of injuries away from disaster. I do expect us to bring someone in though.

11


19 Aug 2026 18:08:39
We should have kept Tyler Morton. He's twice the player McConnel is.

24


19 Aug 2026 18:31:11
Morton is twice the player Jones is too.

24


19 Aug 2026 18:38:42
McConnell is another who flatters to deceive but still gets chances under successive managers. There must be a player in there for that to happen, but I just don't see it.

4


19 Aug 2026 18:54:14
McConnell has been the most disappointing out of the youngsters this preseason. So, this is either rubbish or he's doing something incredible in training.

4


19 Aug 2026 18:57:04
St. Etienne,
I don't see it either. He always looks laboured and rushed on the ball to me.

4


19 Aug 2026 18:42:18
Florian
It's delusional to say the least

1


19 Aug 2026 19:45:59
McConnell would struggle to get a game for most Championship sides and this is the level of Liverpool's now 5th choice midfielder. I'd love to think we're bringing a midfielder in but that would be foolish thinking to say the least.

3


19 Aug 2026 19:54:48
Yes it is Irish. Out of the three, Trey has a future here. A top talent, but that's what he is, a talent. Totally unproven at the highest level. The other two named are simply not good enough over a season. Doubt either will ever start another league game for the club going forward.

2


19 Aug 2026 20:57:12
Our midfielders at the moment are Grav, Macca, Szobo, Wirtz, Endo and Nyoni... Elliot is still there too.
Why are people being overly dramatic? You'd think McConnell or even Nyoni is gonna need to be playing every week.

If we buy even one starting midfielder, Nyoni barely gets a game. One of Grav, Szobo, Macca or Wirtz doesn't play. Can you see that?
How many players do we need for the same positions?

4


19 Aug 2026 22:06:55
Kloppdog, it's got absolutely nothing to do with numbers, the quality isn't there at all. Beyond Szobo, I'd argue every single one of those midfielders either has huge question marks going into this season or simply isn't anywhere near good enough for a team challenging at the top.



More of an effort should have been made to offload deadwood like Endo, Elliott, etc., and replace them with more useful players.

1


19 Aug 2026 22:38:18
Wirtz, if all those players stay, Endo and Elliot won't be playing.. they are squad players.
And 2 players who have never let us down when they have played might I add.
Saying Szobo is the only quality midfielder we have is also ridiculous. This is the midfield who were outstanding when we won the league just 2 years ago.
Of course there are questions after last year, but we can't blame Slot for everything, get rid of him and now say well actually all his players were rubbish, because we haven't brought in a shiny new toy.


The fact people are excited about Wharton or Beleba over the players we already have shows numbers are exactly what it's about for some people. Just want new ones, no matter who they are.

McConnell can take Nyoni's spot.

0


19 Aug 2026 16:20:06
Quick update with the caveat that this info is not from my normal trusted sources.

Barcola deal will be in the region of £125-130m, the issue is the up front payment.

A deal for Mbaye is not currently being worked on.

A deal for both Wharton and Gavi is in the works, we have open dialogue with Palace and Barca about signing them. Camarra will come into the equation if a deal for Gavi doesn't materialise.

Jones to Inter is pretty much done.

Koumas ans McConnell are likely to stay at the club with Ramsey, Morrison, Bajcetic, Wright and a few other youngsters moving on loan.

Expect a very busy couple of weeks with a load of non-starter rumours as well.

19 Aug 2026 16:38:31
Cheers TheFields. Hope you are well.

19 Aug 2026 16:39:02
Great news, TheFields. If everything works out we'll be well set up!

2


19 Aug 2026 16:40:00
Yes, TheFields!! This is what we want to hear, Barcola and 1 or 2 quality CM's are music to our ears.
Potentially frees Szobo up to cover some RW minutes too. Great news.

4


19 Aug 2026 16:40:48
Appreciate your info, TF.

I am not too keen on Wharton or Gavi.

Are we still in the market for right wing regardless? Or is this dependent on Gakpo sale? I am hoping we sign a right winger and Camarra rather than Wharton.

4


19 Aug 2026 16:43:53
Still need a RW, though, TF.
No news on that front?

1


19 Aug 2026 16:45:20
Cheers, TheFields.

Barcola fee is eye-watering. PSG taking us to the cleaners.

Both Wharton and Gavi/Camara? Wowsers.

9


19 Aug 2026 16:46:48
Would Gavi and Wharton be either or both? Would be delighted for both but I would assume that would be Macca out along with the announced departure of Jones.

Any idea on who we are looking at for RW if not Mbaye?

Exciting times.

1


19 Aug 2026 16:47:14
Cheers, TheFields. Hoping we get Mbaye as well.

3


19 Aug 2026 16:48:20
Cheers, TheFields, hope you're doing good.

1


19 Aug 2026 16:51:02
So no right winger, Fields? That's concerning if Rio and Munoz are going to be played there as first choice, and neither is a rw.

1


19 Aug 2026 16:56:26
Thank you, Fields.

Wishing that the transfer window closes smoothly.

1


19 Aug 2026 16:57:31
I'm good, now that I'm back in reality. 😂 Hope you're all well.

A winger depends on Gakpo leaving. I know Rayan has always been first choice, but it will be difficult. El Mala was also mentioned.

That would mean either Barcola or Rio playing predominantly on the right tho. Mbaye could come into play tho. I just don't have the sources in France to find out definite tho.

15


19 Aug 2026 16:58:11
Thanks, the Fields - two midfielders and Jones leaving will give Wirtz some cover too, with McAllister and Szoboszlai both able to play there.

I still think we'd lack a bit of experience on the bench in the forwards, but if this comes through we're almost there imo.

1


19 Aug 2026 17:00:01
Yeah, I'm afraid that's a bit too high on the wishful thinking scale. Going from the current possibility, we sign no one to replace Jones, to signing two high profiles and keeping McConnell? It just doesn't add up in any shape whatsoever. If we can get Wharton, I'm already shooting fireworks, but even that seems like a distance possibility.

2


19 Aug 2026 17:03:00
Even if Macca, Jones and Endo leave, surely with Szobo, Gravenberch, Gavi, Wharton and Nyoni, space for McConnell would be limited?

I love those options, and of course that's a more competitive and balanced midfield than we currently have, but I would wonder, if McConnell would be set to stay, would that imply Nyoni is likely to go out on loan.

Both McConnell and Nyoni would need guarantees of consistent game time, you would think, to be happy hanging around the fringes of the first team squad this season.

1


19 Aug 2026 17:06:27
Next week, guys, that'll be our week.

4


19 Aug 2026 17:13:55
PSG selling Barcola for £125m while buying Godts for EUR55m. They've really pulled our pants down there. If he was really worth that much, he would be starting for them and they wouldn't be okay with letting him go.

It's the kind of thing we used to do.

Seeing as we are now on the receiving end, it really makes me worry about the current decision-making at the club, especially as the experienced FSG potentially won't be the ones overseeing things in the not too distant future.

10


19 Aug 2026 17:15:02
The fee Man Utd were rumoured to be offering for Gavi was £40m plus add ons. Apparently he said no to them, but also no intention of leaving. It wasn’t reported whether Barca were willing to sell, although he’s hardly played due to game management after injury. I’d put that one in the possible but why would we risk it type category. Unless he’s just viewed as a cheap squad option to replace Curtis, if that was the case though I’d guess he wouldn’t come.

With Wharton it’s been said repetitively he’d be a Macca replacement. So does that mean he’s off, if Wharton is definitely on.

On Barcola, if the price fields is quoting is about right it’s got to make you think why have we waited all summer to drastically overpay for a player in a position that’s not critical.

If we still haven’t agreed an upfront fee as well. If we were willing to go that far on the fee it should have been tied up weeks ago, he should be training with us now and bedding in.

We can’t afford another Wirtz or Isak who take a year to bed in when we’re shelling out crazy fees. It’d be different if the brinkmanship results in us paying £90m plus add ons, if that was the case you’d accept the delay was worth it.

8


19 Aug 2026 17:17:17
Can see "things change quickly in football" in a few days. Sorry, no offense, but no way we are signing two CM's this season without Macca departing.

4


19 Aug 2026 17:18:24
Ooooo Fields to the rescue.

2


19 Aug 2026 17:20:21
Thank you TF. Keep chanting. 😁

3


19 Aug 2026 17:25:31
Honestly, don't see the point of signing Gavi or any interest in him, his knee is absolutely done for long term and he's only likely to carry on getting long term injuries. One hard tackle and he's done for again.

You'd think we'd learn from signing the likes of Oxlade, Thiago & Arthur that players with a history of injury issues simply cannot be relied upon. If Barca are keen to get rid, then there's a reason and it's not a good one.

8

Cheers, Fields, good to see you back in your natural environment amongst the 5g. I hear too much of that chanting in drum circles can give you Covid.

Leaving it too late for any of that, I think.

Cheers, Fields... Hope something gets done soon as it'd be good to get him into the group as early as poss.

Awesome news, Tf! Bit of positive hope there, if all goes as planned.



So:
Striker: Isak, Koumas, Gakpo, Ekitike (inj)
LW: Gakpo, Munoz, Ngumoha, Koumas
RW: Barcola, Ngumoha, Munoz, Koumas
CAM: Wirtz, Gavi, Macca, Szobo
Double Pivots: Szobo, Grava, Macca, Wharton, Gavi, Nyoni
LB: Kerkez, Tsimikas, Chambers
RB: Frimpong, Bradley, Gomez
CB: Vvd, Jacquet, Araujo, Leoni, Gomez, Chambers
GK: Allison, Woodman, Davies, Jaros, Mamar

Now this looks like a team ready to challenge for titles! Come on Reds!

If 10% of that happens I'll eat my battered work boot, thanks for the info nonetheless.

Hopefully it's just agents chatter with Gavi, it'd be another very high wage earner who's more out than in. Wharton, I'm not bothered about either.

Hardly exciting. Wharton will get outmuscled and Gavi has the knees of Bruce Forsyth. The ITKs have been pretty iffy. Hopefully this continues.

I'd rather Camara over Gavi or Wharton for more defensive solidity.

I really hope we don't sign Gavi... a year out with ACL and meniscus injury, then 5 months out with meniscus injury again on the same knee!

You can't be signing someone with that history to come play in the most physical league in the world, an accident waiting to happen.

I'd rather Wharton in a double pivot for forward ball progression, he's like a cruise missile launcher similar to Xabi Alonso.

Camara may offer more defensive solidity but the ball will be 'stuck in defence'.

I'd be a lot more concerned about the prospect of RN being a first choice starter in any position than I would of Gavi, gammy leg and all, being part of our midfield selection.

Gavi has played about 21 times this year since his successful surgery, including twice for Spain at the World Cup.

Dunno why people keep saying his knees shot. It's fine now. I did update this yesterday.

Got to ask yourself why Barca would sell a Spanish int though, Nevada, and this isn't his first major injury. The fee rumours suggest a problem with him.

On Wharton, he's not what's needed, but loosely I can see why we'd swap out Macca and replace him with Wharton. I suspect Wharton is marginally better than him.

On the wider point of a difficult market, it's even more critical to spend what you have wisely.

So why spend big money on Wharton, for example, when someone like Sadiki would cost less and be more valuable to us, or an injury risk player.

It feels like our transfer team are scrambling around desperately at the end of the window, after missing our main targets.

Wharton is a far better player to have in the squad than CJ. He'd also have more drive and commitment than MacAllister based on what contributions he has provided so far since joining. I believe he'll be a great signing.

As nobody has mentioned it and it's all gone deathly quiet, does anyone know whether Curtis Jones is going to Internazionale or not? There just doesn't seem to be any information on here.

Awaiting medical according to the reports I have read.

Majority of our ITKs are taking a break, some due to the ignorance of some of our fellow users of this site. This might be the most depressing window so far, and no Carra, VG or Robbo to make it any better.
