Liverpool Transfer Rumours

07 Mar 2026 16:06:03
I believe I saw that Grab has signed a new contract. I like that news.

07 Mar 2026 17:38:26
At 280k a week, oh hell no. He is nowhere near any levels this season.

07 Mar 2026 18:07:37
Cafu, never satisfied. If he wanted out, you would be moaning.

07 Mar 2026 18:17:05
Moaning, lol.
We're talking some decent players on absolute fortunes a week, because that's the only way that they'll sign, it seems. Either that, or Hughes and Edwards are intent on bankrupting us.
It's not justified, and it's not sustainable. Why are Gakpo and Grav on the closer ends of 300k a week?! It's ludicrous.

What's sob earning next, 350k for him to stay?! These players are not superstars, or near the level of a De Bruyne. Our wage bill has gone completely off the scale under Hughes, and we've nothing to show for it.

07 Mar 2026 18:55:36
Nothing to show for it? We won a league title for goodness sake.

07 Mar 2026 19:12:52
Forget about the finances!

07 Mar 2026 19:55:23
It's not my money, so I don't care. If we want to spend a billion to buy Mbappe and pay him 5 million a week, have at it. I support the club, the badge, not a financial spreadsheet.

07 Mar 2026 20:10:05
The owners have always made the club run as self-sufficient, so don't worry about the finances. If the club didn't think they could afford it, they wouldn't agree to it. And, by signing him to a 6yr contract, the club can virtually name their price should Real or Barca try to sign him.

07 Mar 2026 20:14:31
It's easy to forget because he's been around forever, but Grav is still only 23. He's still got a couple of years before he begins to hit his peak. We've seen for 6 months last season what he's capable of.

Whoever is in charge should be playing him and Szob in a double pivot, with him hanging back like last year.

07 Mar 2026 20:29:36
He is a good player, and we need good players, so good news in my opinion.

07 Mar 2026 20:55:47
Sorry, I do care about finances. This is a club that had a lot of financial issues not so long ago, and, while finances have gotten better, I worry that the team overpays for average players and gets into Manchester United territory.

Paying that much is not good for the squad. Then Szobo will ask more than Grav. Then others will ask for more, and that only works if you have steady income, but we don't even know if we are getting CL next season, so it's a big risk with the uncertainty around the manager and performances. It would have made more sense when Klopp was here, because we were more consistent in performances.

I hope the rumours are not true because I'm sorry about the club, and finances are part of it.

07 Mar 2026 08:18:19
Regarding Carras post.
I wouldn't want any Real Madrid player in regards to a Macca sale. It should be the full price that we want. Their team is average. They've two star players up top. When Vini turns up or Mbappes on the pitch they steal the goals for them. They're outplayed in every game I watch. They're an average side even with the most overrated PR machine in Bellingham.


As for some fans, very few that would want Trent back. He has horrendous. Every match he's played, he's played a huge part in them conceding or directly is at fault.
I wouldn't want not one player from that squad. Also rampant with personalities toxic to a dressing room.

07 Mar 2026 09:47:10
I'm sure there's a few good eggs there, personality-wise. Law of averages.

07 Mar 2026 10:10:14
Their team is average? What are you on?

07 Mar 2026 10:13:50
Unfortunately, not true, Davey. Just look at the disrespectful way every single one of them treated Alonso when he told them to do a guard of honour for Barcelona, or when they all had a hissy fit because Rodri had the temerity to win the Ballon d'Or over their precious little skid mark Vinicius. No, not one good one amongst them.

07 Mar 2026 10:34:24
I'd love Ibou to turn them down. Hopefully he has seen the media giving Trent loads again, and that puts him off. I wouldn't even go there for a day out.

07 Mar 2026 11:19:48
Have to agree with you there, Viktor. The whole squad is toxic. I wouldn't want any of them to join us at this juncture.

07 Mar 2026 12:01:26
I think it might be Arda Guler, as Alonso has raved about him, but we have been linked with Camavinga quite recently, and Tchouameni
in the past. Hopefully it's Guler or Valverde.

07 Mar 2026 12:06:57
Trent has not been horrendous. He has been central for them in progressing the ball and creating chances. I would say that I would like Valverde, but honestly, he has been like a not-as-good version of Szoboszlai this season.

We need passers in midfield. Valverde is not a passer, he is another all-action midfielder who can fill in at full back, exactly like Dom, except Dom is better at pretty much everything, except maybe tackling.

07 Mar 2026 12:20:44
Real Madrid being Real Madrid will probably offer us someone like Ceballos.

Last time we got a player from them, it was Antonio Nunez who was crap!

07 Mar 2026 12:38:16
Not a hope in hell Madrid would allow Valverde to leave, or that he would be even remotely interested in the move.

07 Mar 2026 13:52:32
How about Endric (think that's the name). He's on loan in France. He likes the right hand side, has speed and skill too, and he can also play through the middle. Very young, a bit raw, yet bloody good imo.


I'd have him.

Valverde has played regularly at RB this season. He prefers central mid, engine on him is awesome, but would Sloz have to move left as Valverde is more RHS of cent mid.

07 Mar 2026 13:57:03
Yes dave small fish in big pond who come to another club and want to be the big fish in a small pond. My dislike for anything real madrid won't ever change and i still think there is something gone on over the amount of times they have won champions league and European cup i would not trust them as a club as far as i could throw them. YNWA

07 Mar 2026 15:32:40
Wasn't Valverde one of the players who led the revolt against Alonso? I keep seeing mixed reports about which camp he's in. I know Guler was one of the few Alonso "supporters" within the club, and he is now being ostracised by the rest of them.

So maybe he's the only one I wouldn't mind in Liverpool. But my original points still stand, and the rest can rot where they are.

07 Mar 2026 16:03:15
Rodrygo had been linked previously and was in a position of need. I would think his name comes up again, whether there is anything to it or not.

07 Mar 2026 16:39:34
Rodrygo is woeful, lightweight, and ineffective. The fact that Antony matches his output says enough. Rodrygo strikes me as a sort of wet fart who'd down tools because it's a bit cold. People mentioning Guler clearly aren't aware that he and Szoboszlai detest each other, for the record, Guler comes across as a weapons grade knobhead.

So, no thanks.
As for Endrick, that player tried to end Konate's season a couple of years ago, I've never forgotten that. He had no intent to play the ball, he intentionally went to injure Konate. I stand by my view that I would not want any of those people at Real Madrid here.

07 Mar 2026 16:51:52
I'd take Trent back all day, anyone that wouldn't is a bit bitter about it all.

He had a go, maybe the wrong way about it, but he would walk into our team.

07 Mar 2026 17:56:44
When Rat Arnold did that shhh thing, that was to us supporters. That was a massive two fingers up at us. He strung the club along by not being remotely honest about his intentions. As for his performances last season, it cemented my own view that he's a below average right back with an above average right foot. The number of decent performances (not good ones, as there were none of those) could be counted on the fingers of one hand. For the most part last year, he was a dead weight, a liability when defending, and only useful attacking if he could be bothered, and he didn't look remotely arsed most of the time.

The performances against United & Everton were particularly shameful.

And let's not forget that summer of 66 nonsense, his ego farce exceeds his ability by some margin. No, don't want him back at all, and it would be a criminal waste of valuable club resources to even consider it. If it dies bt work out. He can enjoy seeing his years out at a mid table club.

07 Mar 2026 18:26:41
Trent's a full back. He's in the Madrid line-up as a full back. He's defensively appalling. That's not even up for debate. He's been written about across Madrid's papers for how bad he is defensively. His overall game has also been exposed and spoken about.
You're mentioning progressive passing, lol, when half of his passes have been to the opposition. The lad will always pass some superb balls, but again, he's been horrendous.

He's been out of position and found out many, many times defensively. We're also talking about bottom of La Liga opposition, too. Let's see how he fares against Doku.
I do not want any player back who saw this club as a stepping stone to build their brand. The club moved on. BTW, how's his Ballon d'Or coming along?

07 Mar 2026 18:30:27
Meg, you are entitled to your opinion, but to say anyone that wouldn't take Trent back is just bitter, you cannot say that!
You can't force your own opinion on others to make such a ludicrous comment. That's what dictators do!

07 Mar 2026 19:49:58
@Baz, So basically saying people can have an opinion as long as you agree with it?

07 Mar 2026 18:39:55
As a dictator of this group, I hear what you're saying and sentence you to prison for not agreeing..

Maybe full on, but he gets into our team currently.

07 Mar 2026 07:38:55
If we can get Salah, VVD and Gakpo off the wages that is almost 1M a week saved and we would not be far off from where we are today without any replacements.

Hindsight taken into account, I think club succumbed to pressure to hand out VVD and Salah new contracts.

It all fell apart as soon as the new contracts were rolled out.

Never will know the what if we let them go and signed replacements where would be.

07 Mar 2026 07:51:22
Of the 3 u have named, only 1 I would sell in summer is Salah. Last chance to get a good fee for him. If he was willing to be a rotation option, u could make an argument for keeping him, but that won't happen.
I'm going against the grain with Gakpo, as I believe he is a v good player to have in the squad, can cover 3 positions, and there is always a goal in him.

He has had a poor season, but he is not on his own there. Probably not good enough to start week in week out, but v useful to have as 4th choice attacker.
Not a chance in hell would I sell Vvd, still head and shoulders your best defender, and his availability is unreal.

07 Mar 2026 08:04:47
Why would we sell Vvd? He's still the best defender at the club by some margin and can still play. Some odd error ain't dissuading me from that fact. Until we have a capable manager, I'll refuse to criticise any of them.

07 Mar 2026 08:47:43
Another ridiculous post about money.
Just because we save 1m a week, it definitely does not leave us far off from where we are now.

Vvd is still one of the best Cb out there, but yes, let's get rid of him to save a buck.

Gakpo, not everyone's cup of tea, but maybe if he had some competition for his position, people would be speaking differently of him.



Mo is Mo... age has caught up with him, unfortunately. Still lots to offer if we could maybe change his role.

07 Mar 2026 08:58:47
On Gakpo, far too predictable, one-footed, and well and truly worked out by the opposition. Also, 3rd choice centre forward on his best day. At £200k per week (reported), far too expensive to be a versatile back-up. Could probably command a decent fee.

Selling him in the summer is the ultimate no-brainer.

07 Mar 2026 10:41:26
Gakpo, yes. Vvd & Mo, not yet, both have been way off, but you can't buy experience. The Rios and Nyonis of this world have no one better to look up to as a model pro. Yeh, Mo has dropped off this season.

Let's see what he's like in a team that plays quicker, and the opposition have more than one player at a time to defend against. He has earned the right to end his career here. Crap or not.

07 Mar 2026 11:00:42
Like the man said 'Let's not talk about finances.'

07 Mar 2026 12:44:19
Vvd still top class. Frode, so every poor player performance this season is because of Slot? And people call me deluded.

07 Mar 2026 13:12:23
Vvd easily still top 5 CBs on the planet. Imo still the best even if there has been a drop off.

07 Mar 2026 15:57:30
Definitely Gakpo and Salah to go.

07 Mar 2026 16:38:38
By this logic, why don't we just sell all our players and save millions each week!

07 Mar 2026 17:45:31
I think I have been watching a different Vvd. There is zero leadership from Vvd this year. He is a yard slower at 400k a week. 4 goals conceded this year because of his individual mistakes. No, he is no longer the world's best defender.



You folk should not be such red tinted. If an offer is available for Salah, Vvd and Gakpo we should take it and run, and I think that's why we gave them 2 year extensions - so we can get something in case it doesn't work.

07 Mar 2026 20:47:36
I never care about the wages when it comes to Virg. And Salah for that matter. The way I see it is they have earned every penny. They could have been earning much more at other clubs for the bones of a decade, but stayed loyal to us. Both all-time 11'ers. In Virg's case, if we just got him a top partner, he could play for years yet.

07 Mar 2026 03:33:17
Fresh take: We want to sell Salah and Gakpo, but if they're not 'starters' it wipes a combined £40M off their price tags. So Slot has to play them until the summer.

07 Mar 2026 04:29:28
Combined 40m for both of them? That's a steal!

I really hope Salah stays. If we really get a new manager next season, I wonder if he'll be back scoring goals.

Gakpo? I'm not sure. I don't have much thought about him, and I definitely won't miss him.

07 Mar 2026 08:16:42
I personally would be more than happy to see Salah, Konate, Gakpo, McAllister, Robertson, and even Big Virg go, regardless of the disruption it may cause. I would rather see a young, hungry team try - and win nothing - than this bloated transitional mess. Most of them have been great servants, but it's time.

07 Mar 2026 09:35:47
But if we play them, and our current (crappy) league form continues, and we don't qualify for the Champions League, then we lose £110 million.... That's a £70m hole the club are digging for themselves with this stupid short-sighted thinking.

07 Mar 2026 12:46:12
Not Virg's time yet. Still top class.

06 Mar 2026 22:19:46
Not MOTD fever here but I’d defs be looking at Joao Gomes from Wolves
When they go down. Cheap and perfect replacement for McAllister/Jones as a squad option. Would add some bite and mobility in midfield and not bad on the ball.

06 Mar 2026 22:44:50
Absolutely. Should have signed him in the summer of 2023.

06 Mar 2026 23:48:11
Hang on, hang on - we all agreed we are signing Mane from Wolves. I read it on this very board less than a week ago. He can play on the left, right and middle, and his level of development is light years ahead of Rio. Isn't that right, chaps, or did I misread the scouting reports last week?

06 Mar 2026 23:50:31
January 2023, even.

07 Mar 2026 06:49:35
WDW, I thought Rio was fantastic last night. He needs to improve his decision making, but that can only come with more game time. He gave us an injection of pace into our attack, so much better than Gakpo, so we would have been even better if we had Ekitike to front as well.


I see Gakpo had his hand in a bandage. Rumours say that he got it caught in the till, where he has been stealing a living all season under the watchful eye of his dad, Slot.

07 Mar 2026 08:27:01
Still slagging players and manager after a win.
YNWA, eh?

07 Mar 2026 10:03:44
Just fickle fans being fickle fans, Flash.

07 Mar 2026 10:29:52
I thought Gakpo played well. Not sure Rio is ready to replace him just yet, but I'd be happy for them to be duking it out for the left wing spot.

07 Mar 2026 12:47:40
That was the general consensus, Wdw.

06 Mar 2026 19:24:09
Does anyone else think that Slot leaving at the end of the season (if it happens) will actually be mutual? I feel he's homesick, he's giving players time off etc so he can go home and has no family network around him? I don't feel he's lost the spark so to speak but has been blinded by tactical inadequacies and possible homesickness.

06 Mar 2026 19:38:05
For all we know Arne's probably loving it over here on his own. Out for a few scoops every evening, then hits the casino. Probably like a bloke coming home from a stags having to go over to Holland every few weeks. Depressed outa his head. 😆

06 Mar 2026 19:38:22
If he feels homesick, he shouldn't have taken the job in the first place, knowing this was going to happen.

06 Mar 2026 20:14:22
I hope you realise there are quite a lot of unanticipated family events that can happen over an 18-month period.

06 Mar 2026 20:42:34
Done to death.

06 Mar 2026 20:54:03
I think, if he goes, it will be labelled mutual anyway, no matter what the circumstances. Given the fact that he won us the league in his first season, the club would be more than happy to mutually part ways out of respect for his career. I'd be extraordinarily surprised if he was officially sacked. I don't think his leaving will actually be because he's homesick, although if he does go, I'm sure it will be cited as a factor, but we all know the truth.

I've heard that nonsense pedalled far too much. It's all too convenient for the Slot apologists that he just so happened to become overwhelmingly homesick at the exact same time his position came under fire. That's some coincidence.

06 Mar 2026 21:01:19
Slot isn't great. Saying the players are not giving their all is no excuse.

06 Mar 2026 21:33:20
I reckon he's been blinded by fullbacks bought who don't suit his inverted fullback system, breaking the transfer record twice for a guy who needed half a season to adapt, and another guy who isn't fit and is now injured, a CB, CM, and a highly paid liability on the RW who have all fallen off a cliff, high-profile departures, and multiple injuries to the backline.



Could go on.

And, I don't care that the obvious reply is going to be about making excuses. At the end of the day, he has to manage through those factors.

06 Mar 2026 22:26:16
For the record, I'm not a Slot apologist. I am, and have been, since most of this season, Slot out. So all this "apologist" nonsense can stop.

06 Mar 2026 23:04:32
We won tonight.

06 Mar 2026 23:14:36
The family thing only comes up cos we are below the expected level.
When someone's out of favour, ppl jump on their haircut, their kecks, the lot.

07 Mar 2026 12:56:05
The fact that apologist is used concerning a man who, in his only full season, gave us No.20 and is still in two competitions this year, just shows the absolute state of the modern LFC supporter.

06 Mar 2026 17:38:49
In regards to the rumour from Carra, and Macca being of interest to Real, if and I say if there is the possibility of a player exchange, could Trent be an option seeing as things aren't going smoothly for him in Madrid?

06 Mar 2026 18:06:43
It would have to be Courtois, Huijsen or Valverde. Trent, for me, no. We need an RB who can defend.

06 Mar 2026 18:09:52
I don't believe we would have him back personally.

06 Mar 2026 18:23:33
That rat Arnold can stay gone. Why have back a sub-standard right back who stuck two fingers up at the club and supporters?

As for wanting any of the Madrid players, you won't find a more toxic, foul bunch than them. There isn't a good one among them, and we'd be better off with cash money than their sloppy seconds.

06 Mar 2026 18:33:21
I was eagerly awaiting your response, Vik, and u didn't disappoint. Classic. 🤣 Not even Valverde eh?

06 Mar 2026 18:40:46
Valerde would be perfect for us.

06 Mar 2026 18:46:48
Huijsen is probably the only one I can think of. If Camavinga's injuries weren't a concern then perhaps he would be another.

06 Mar 2026 18:59:41
All the Trent haters on here who know so little about football that they fail to understand that Trent leaving was one of the biggest factors in Liverpool's poor form this season.

He has been especially missed by Salah, who never gets the ball early. And, seeing that Trent is allegedly so poor defensively, I wonder why our defence is not so watertight now that he's left.

06 Mar 2026 19:33:13
Not Trent.

Ta.

06 Mar 2026 19:40:05
Don't think anyone understates how good he was, or how we miss him. It's just the way he left. He wanted greener grass. Has he got it? Only he can answer that.

06 Mar 2026 20:30:36
Isn't Valverde injured for the season? Bit of a gamble.

06 Mar 2026 21:16:28
Zero chance on either end. Real only have 2 proper first-team RBs. Valverde can cover, and they have that young lad Jimenez, but he's still wet behind the ears. Carvajal is pushing 35, is injury-prone, and is out of contract come June. They'll definitely make a move for another RB, but it won't be to replace Trent. If he's not viewed as an immediate successor, he'll do as backup. On our end, well, I hardly need to say anything after the way things went down.

Tsk - For once, I completely agree with Florian.

I don't think a single person on here underestimates how valuable Trent was to us, sure, that's half the reason everyone was so annoyed when he left. Regarding our leaky defence, it goes far beyond the right-back position or any hole left by Trent, which I won't get into. But, specifically with regard to Trent's position, you're failing to note that both our RBs have spent more time injured than fit, and our best RB this season has been our CM.

06 Mar 2026 21:35:00
I'd have Trent back.

You can't buy his connection and experience at the club. Well, except in this case we'd have to buy it to bring him back lol.

06 Mar 2026 22:38:41
Sorry, but I have to reply to this. Trent is a brilliant player, end of. The abuse he got and gets for being beaten now and again is utter nonsense. Every full-back gets taken on and beaten at least once in every match. Does a top keeper save every shot? Does a top striker score every chance? Does a top defender win every header? No.

He is by a mile the best RB in the past 10 years in Europe, and has been irreplaceable for us. I am a born and bred Scouser; yes, he could have handled things differently, but to call him sub-standard is laughable. He is up there with the best, like Phil Neal, whom I am old enough to have seen play.

06 Mar 2026 22:50:11
Trent could come back for me.

06 Mar 2026 23:02:41
Courtois? We have Ali... ludicrous suggestion.

06 Mar 2026 23:52:31
@Vik, the diplomatic corps must rue the day when you failed the job interview. 😉

06 Mar 2026 23:54:11
Meh, proper on the fence with that, to be honest. It would depend massively on the set up of the team. If he was protected and supported at rb, like what Hendo did for him, or even played at rw, then, begrudgingly, yes, as we have missed him.


Any set up expecting him to perform as a standalone full back with limited protection, though, absolutely not. He was and always will be a weak link defensively that will be targeted.

07 Mar 2026 00:17:14
Something tells me the player could well be Arda Guler, which would make sense if Alonso is coming. Apparently, they had a very good relationship, and Alonso rated him highly, having played him a lot when he was the Madrid manager. That, or Camavinga, although his injury record is a concern.

07 Mar 2026 07:45:50
Arda Guler also for me, Alonso. Great little player who could really blossom here, and gives me Coutinho vibes when we signed him and made him a superstar.

07 Mar 2026 13:08:08
What if Slot doesn't rate Guler?

07 Mar 2026 16:47:09
It'll be Camavinga or potentially Tchoumeni we're interested in. Is that correct, Carra?

06 Mar 2026 17:04:19
Is Jurgen off to Atletico? Read a few articles saying he's close to signing a contract with them. He sees them as the Spanish underdog club.

06 Mar 2026 17:27:36
From the most defensive manager in the world, to the most attacking manager in the world. That would be some jump. 😂

06 Mar 2026 18:00:40
Klopp did say that communication was so important in his job. He wouldn't be able to manage in Spain due to language barriers. Perhaps he has since learned Spanish. He does have a home in Mallorca after all.

06 Mar 2026 18:15:01
Atletico would be ideal.

Passionate fans, underdogs, 2 massive teams that get it their own way, he has to overcome.

06 Mar 2026 19:03:23
Comes from an unreliable source, apparently: Pipi Estrada, more of a presenter than a journalist, on El Chiringuito, a Spanish nighttime debate-style football show. Funny enough, it was the same bloke who started the Simeone to Inter rumours just a couple of weeks before.

06 Mar 2026 11:31:20
Hello all,

Friday update.

Talks with Ibou Konate and a new contract with LFC 'were' going well.

Now Real Madrid have re-entered the picture after leaving the room months ago.

Liverpool FC are resigned to letting him go to Spain and feel messed about BIG time by all involved.

Joel Ordonez is a option for us and would happily agree to a move, fee would be no issue.

I was informed last night if Spurs are relegated, LFC will make a very important offer for Luka Vuskovic.

Van De Ven price seen as ridiculous but still liked by the club.

Diomande is top of the attacker list, I will put my neck on the line and say he joins us this summer.

Plenty of potential outgoings including Chiesa, Salah, Gakpo and others.

Curtis Jones can also be added to that list too, move to Italy could be on the cards.

Szobo wants to stay for the coming seasons but a departure in the future cannot be discounted. Expect him to sign a new deal.

Macca is also wanted by Real Madrid who seem intent on signing our entire team. Keep an eye on this, A player could be used in exchange too.

I'll also add, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards making a dogs dinner out of everything they touch makes forthcoming moves very difficult to judge.

Ta.

06 Mar 2026 11:47:10
Cheers, Carra!

It feels like such a mess at the moment.

There have been some timely quotes from Ordonez being a Liverpool fan as a kid this morning. Nailed on to not sign for us, then.

06 Mar 2026 11:54:42
Amazing, Carra.
Thank you.

06 Mar 2026 11:56:27
A lot to digest there. We've already signed a few centre halves, although all are young, and most of our wingers are being linked with moves away.
Does this indeed point to Alonso coming in in the summer and a move to a formation like he played at Leverkusen.

06 Mar 2026 12:02:18
Brilliant as always, Carra. Thanks for the updates!

06 Mar 2026 12:09:46
I'm shocked that Madrid are considering paying a fee for someone!

Yeh, again, as with Konate, he served us well, but my personal preference is that a midfielder does not spend most of the game rolling around and falling to the ground. Obviously a technical player, but just too slow, small and lightweight; he offers nothing Elliott couldn't do, imo.



Mmmm, I can see, with Edwards and Hughes staying, unless the apparent love for Xabi sees us drop Hughes. I think if Alonso wanted the manager role, they would give it to him.

06 Mar 2026 12:13:41
Be ok to see Konate go if we could get a decent replacement.

But please no to Van de Ven, bro's literally just pace. He is nowhere near good enough.

06 Mar 2026 12:15:29
Also no updates on manager change? Still on for Alonso and Slot to leave in the summer?
Thanks, Carra

06 Mar 2026 12:36:28
Serie A is the type of league that would suit Jones, to be honest. Would love Wharton to come in, but Palace would be a nightmare to deal with, unless the player forces a move, and even then, maybe not as straightforward.

06 Mar 2026 12:42:45
What about Angelo Stiller?

06 Mar 2026 12:56:27
Cheers, Carra, for the update.

06 Mar 2026 13:11:45
Thanks, Carra.

06 Mar 2026 13:18:11
Cheers, Carra, as ever, much appreciated.

06 Mar 2026 13:25:20
The Ibou situation is an absolute disgrace from all parties involved. Honestly, Madrid have absolutely bantered us about in the transfer market the past few years. It's ridiculous.

06 Mar 2026 13:55:07
I think Vuskovic/Ordonez and Diomande would be very good signings. I see Barca seem to also be in for Vuskovic, so it will be interesting to see if that goes anywhere.

None of those outgoings seem terribly impactful. Hopefully it means Rio and Nyoni can get some more time.

I'm actually very hopeful about our CB situation. I think Leoni will come good after his injury.

I also have confidence that Jacquet and Vuskovic/Ordonez will be very good as well. VVD can guide them also, which is a nice plus. I also think the young players signed in January show a lot of promise.

I expect the club will be looking at 2 wingers, 2 midfielders, a FB and a CB over the summer. Should be an interesting summer.

06 Mar 2026 14:08:35
Finishing work early and a Carra update. I'm like a dog with two dicks as me old man would say.

06 Mar 2026 14:38:47
Can we get an idea of how they are making a dog's dinner of things?

06 Mar 2026 14:41:37
I don't often say this about football players, but Van de Ven is a disgrace of a player this year. His attitude has been absolutely rubbish, and his form has been even worse. The lad just looks like he doesn't care and can't be bothered to put in a shift when his team is getting dragged through the mud. Romero is a complete arse, but at least he looks like he cares about winning a game. Van de Ven looks like he checked out ages ago and is just waiting for a big club to come get him at the end of the season.

I'm not sure why he thinks he deserves it either. He's not anywhere near as good as he thinks he is. I would be very disappointed if we went for him. He might be a talented footballer, but he absolutely does not have the right mentality for a Liverpool player, much less a respectable Prem professional.

06 Mar 2026 15:15:38
Letting Gakpo, Chiesa and Salah go all at once makes no sense unless Alonso is coming and wants to play with wing backs with a back 3 rather than wide forwards. It would leave too much to do in terms of transfers and filling out the squad - it's a struggle for the club to work on more than one transfer at a time.

06 Mar 2026 15:24:04
Romero's an absolute liability, but you're right, Patrik. VDV's attitude has been terrible. Vuskovic would be the Spurs defender I'd go for, too. I think Leoni can be an absolute star for us.

It would have been preferable if Ibou stays, but if not, best of luck, don't let the door hit you on the way out. I'm sure the club will bring another top young talent in.

06 Mar 2026 15:36:34
I wouldn't touch Van de Ven with a barge poll, he's a loose cannon.

06 Mar 2026 16:10:59
Thanks for the update, Carra. I hope you are right about Diomande. He looks like a star in the making.

Hopefully, Hughes and Edwards don't make a mess of things for us, I really feel they dropped the ball with Guehi and Semenyo.

On Konate, if it's true that as soon as Madrid show up again he wants out, then good riddance..

06 Mar 2026 16:13:17
Love those updates, thanks, Carra.
Can't help thinking, though, that with those players moving on, that's a big void to fill, a lot of money going out again. Yes, we'll bring money in, but it's also the disruption to the squad, another season to "bed in" new players.

06 Mar 2026 16:22:21
Like, Trent, it's been obvious for over a year that Konate was running down his contract to leave on a free. It makes you wonder how dumb they are to not see that. Of course he's been messing them about.

06 Mar 2026 16:23:59
Thanks, Carra.

06 Mar 2026 17:01:20
Cheers, Carra.

I'd take Kulusevski off their hands.

I also think that we need an experienced CB to come in.
Leoni and Jacquet are most likely not to be starters next season... but spending 60m for a bench warmer seems excessive.

06 Mar 2026 17:21:54
Have to admit, Carra, there isn't one Madrid player I'd want as a makeweight, trash the lot of them. Cold hard cash.

06 Mar 2026 18:45:09
Only Real players that might be of any use would be wingers. Brahim Diaz would be a useful option as a RW or AM. Then maybe Mastantuono as well, although it's not gone well for him so far. Guler is a prat, and Rodrygo is overhyped and just did his knee.

06 Mar 2026 18:45:35
I would say that if Madrid want MacAllister and Konate, they are welcome to them.

Not to slate our players, but they've been our worst two this season for me, until Konate did better of late.

I know Konate may have been struggling with his father being ill, so I don't take that lightly.

06 Mar 2026 21:36:58
If we accept Edwards and Hughes have done such a terrible job, can we cut Slot some slack, then?

06 Mar 2026 23:15:03
No, Faith, we can't.

07 Mar 2026 07:48:19
Thanks Carra. The Luka Vuskovic transfer would be really nice. Very very talented lad.

07 Mar 2026 08:58:24
Why, Faith? Was the squad not good enough at the start of the season? The current PL champions? How can that be laid at anyone else's door except Slot's? Pretty sure he still picks the team, system, style of play and training. Can't blame that on Hughes and Edwards.

07 Mar 2026 09:13:02
So, who would replace Konate? I want him gone, but I don't watch many games outside of Liverpool ones. Could anyone please give me some names with experience, since we bought many young CBs (except the one from Dortmund, because he is left-footed, and I haven't seen a left CB play RCB, and VVD is not leaving this offseason)?
