Ed001 I said other managers mate
Klopp (to a certain extent with Harvey & Darwin) Emery & whoever the Saudi teams manager are implied in my comment.
Perhaps Iraola unleashes Chiesa and Elliot next season and brings Darwin back and I'm proved wrong.
Only time will tell ??♂️
{Ed001's Note - Klopp has said he made a mistake not playing Harvey more and Emery was not playing him because it would have made the obligation to buy kick in.}

Good morning all, new gaffer wants to talk to everyone before deciding on their futures, Joe Gomez would still like to stay, it was never an option to leave before because his wife didn’t want to uproot, the club have pretty much said it’s up to him what he wants, they respect he’s the current longest serving player.
Joe has told me Curtis loves the idea of Italy which is not good news in my opinion but again Andoni really wants to speak to him and ideally have him in America, let’s hope he changes his mind.
For a fact the club will stop all negotiations if Curtis says he’d like to stay now.
The mood from what I know at the moment is excitement about a new coaching set up!
{Ed001's Note - good to see you ST.}

Cheers Tomato, hope you're well, mate. It feels like it's been years since I saw you post!
06 Jun 2026 10:12:18
Wow,
The nostalgia!
It's gotta be 5+ years since you posted, is it?
Great to hear mate, thank you.
06 Jun 2026 10:16:34
Welcome home ST. Glad to see you posting again.
06 Jun 2026 10:19:15
Cheers ST, great to see you back! Glad Joe is keen to stay.
06 Jun 2026 10:20:39
Welcome back ST. Brilliant to have you back with us.
06 Jun 2026 10:22:49
Nice to have you back, ST!
I'd be very happy for Joe to stay. He's a very good defender when fully fit, adds great experience to the squad, and always seems to have an excellent attitude without complaining about game time or position he gets played in. Top pro in my opinion.
06 Jun 2026 10:32:51
Square, amazing to see a post from you again.
Please tell Joe to stay. And if he can get in Curtis's ear to stay as well and sign new deals.
These 2 are worth far more than the change they could bring in, and we'll need a big squad this year. I sense there'll be minutes to go round.
06 Jun 2026 10:40:36
Welcome back ST. It's been a while.
06 Jun 2026 10:44:13
Nice to hear from you again, St. Personally, I hope he stays around as I just have a lot of time for him. He doesn't cause problems when he's fit, then he's always ready to step into any position.

Elliot is a decent squad player, but I'm not sure who he replaces in a starting 11. I imagine the club will go quite big on the Salah replacement, so he's up against that player or Wirtz.
Don't think Elliot or Chiesa have started a PL game in 12 months, and not sure how many both started the 12 months prior.
Nunez has been out of his Saudi league squad since Jan and has been released on a free.
Nothing against the 3, but if they aren't deemed good enough by previous or other managers then I can't see much changing under the Iraola.
{Ed001's Note - you really think Slot's judgement is sound? I give up, people spent months whining about him and then want to back his idiocy.}

Wdw rio only bypassed the u18s/u21s he has been foolishly be promised first team football, that's not earning it, ed1 has said he should be back there learning more than step overs and cutting inside, 2 assists and 1 goal isn't great
{Ed001's Note - I have said he is not ready for our first team, putting him in the youth leagues is not what he needs. A proper reserve league would be good, but as we don't do that any more, he either comes in and out of the team and plays irregularly or goes out on loan. But he is not ready to be a starter.}

Ed001 do you see Iraola going to his old club Bournemouth for potential signings would Kroupi or Rayan be options for us as Diomende looks set for PSG and Barcola is too expensive and imo not good enough.

{Ed001's Note - I doubt he will have that much say.}
05 Jun 2026 17:05:13
He has to have some say, cause he is more of a football man than the data boys.
05 Jun 2026 17:20:13
Zippy, what makes you so sure Diomande is going to PSG when our very own and consistently proven ITKs all say the opposite?
05 Jun 2026 23:49:09
Oh me, me, pick me, sir!!! Is it because the glass is half empty, sir?. ?

I agree, but I would look inward first.
Rio and Trey are already in first team squads, and given Iraola has an opportunity to work with the younger players whilst many senior guys are at the WC.
In defence, we have the younger 17-19 year olds that we have bought in the last 6-12m, along with Jacquet and Leoni coming back. I'd say central defence isn't essential to strengthen further, but someone like Senesi would be a no brainer to me, especially as the gaffer knows and has played him regularly. However, some folks do doubt his defensive awareness, including Ed001, and I haven't seen him play enough to argue with that. However, given his history with Iraola, if the gaffer thinks he can do a job to cover injuries and whilst Leoni and Jacquet play themselves into form, then it makes a lot of sense.
In midfield, we do need first team ready players, especially if Macca and/or Jones depart. Looks like we are linked with Wharton and Scott, along with Camara and a few others. For further depth we have Nyoni, McConnell, Bajcetic, Elliot who should either provide that dept or be sold on.
Up front, hopefully we get Diomande and other LW who can play up front. I would also be interested in Bowen, depending on how much he would cost. Left footed right winger with pace (although a bit slower now) who scores goals. Could be a decent option for 3 years whilst the newer players and academy prospects come through.
So out of the cheaper options, I would go with Senesi and Bowen

Do u think ed1 wirtz play as the 10 centrally with 2 midfielders behind and 2 wingers either side? Seen a previous thread on here where they say wirtz plays from left for Germany and also did that previously for leverkusan, don't think that will get the best out of him imo
{Ed001's Note - I expect Iraola to play him in a number of different roles. He likes to mix things up and play to attack the opponent's weaknesses.}

Long time reader and I post now and again. But like man of todd I've not listened to any podcasts, where do I find them?

Ed001 Robbo Carra fields anyone got any updates on Sobs contract talks.
If he does not sign this summer do you think we should sell because I don't think we want him on his last year because we don't want another season of the Trent and Konate crap because if he does not sign soon he obviously been tapped up by Madrid.
05 Jun 2026 09:13:02
Was wondering if RM's £150m bid was for him, but not Premiership they said.
05 Jun 2026 09:37:41
I'm sceptical about that rumour, as it was reported "not Premiership", and then the article included Declan Rice in their list of potential targets!
05 Jun 2026 09:46:49
Michael Edwards is reportedly on ~£10M/year with FSG (per recent claims). That's huge for an exec - roughly £192k/week, solid top-tier PL money but not quite top 5 level (Haaland ~£525k/wk, Salah ~£400k).
Let's see what the boys are made of now, we have all these contracts coming to an end.
05 Jun 2026 11:35:01
I think Perez was talking about Olise.
05 Jun 2026 14:04:24
Yeah, Olise would make sense, Racey.
I did get excited that they may value Macca at £150m, but sadly not to be!
