Liverpool Transfer Rumours

18 Dec 2025 18:59:33
I've seen the rumours that City and United are driving for Semenyo

What are the chances, and do the Eds' know his preference?

{Ed025's Note - im hearing that its Liverpool Dean, but as we all know things can always change in football mate..

15 Dec 2025 21:24:46
Ed 1 - Times report that City will make a big push for Guehi in the summer .

I know you said your pretty confident he’d still chose us but do you think this will harden our resolve to get it over the line in January and not chance leaving it to the summer window?

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - we were already intent on trying again in January, due to the injury to Leoni.}

15 Dec 2025 21:38:57
Thanks Ed

Going to be an interesting window for sure &
Not just for us.

{Ed001's Note - very true.}

15 Dec 2025 22:31:35
We can’t wait until the last day of the window again, that’s for sure. He comes early or get someone else in.

16 Dec 2025 03:15:05
What if ‘someone else” doesn’t want to come?

16 Dec 2025 06:58:37
We really need 2 cbs in Jan but we certainly have to get 1 in. Guehi I think will be trickier in Jan than most people seem to think I'm not sure palace will let him go considering position they in league and also good chance in europe.

16 Dec 2025 07:39:47
If its a non starter with Guehi hopefully we move on quickly, right now we only have VVD and Konate as senior centre backs available.

16 Dec 2025 09:55:43
I think the Guehi outcome will ultimately be determined by the winner of Glasner v Parish. Parish doesn't want to lose his prize asset for free but Glasner doesn't want to lose his captain. I suspect it might come down to the ability of Palace to sign a Glasner approved replacement.

16 Dec 2025 12:45:11
Sounds like Glasner has officially told Palace that he will not be renewing his deal. Not sure whether that has any influence.

16 Dec 2025 18:26:07
I imagine it would FPF.

17 Dec 2025 05:07:07
If I was Parish or Glassner or anybody else at Palace, I’d hang onto Guehi like a limpet. From their point of view he is their captain, a natural leader by the sounds of it and is leading Palace to one of their best seasons ever.

The further they go in Europe and the higher up the PL they finish the prize money should comfortably exceed what they would get for him in January. I’m not convinced it’s a done deal on January 1st.

17 Dec 2025 21:05:41
Is Writz being offered for sale or is it just rumours?

19 Dec 2025 06:33:03
I think it's just rumors - there's no way liv would be selling wirtz after such a short time

plus he's also been improving recently, there is no good reason to sell him as of now.

15 Dec 2025 10:00:57
Hey ED01,

Hope you are well matey. Do you see with what’s happened and what’s been said Slot somehow turning his position around? Or is this too little to late in terms of the club and board?

Added if Slot was relieved of his duties would you take Gerrard and Heitinga as interim until a longer term like Alonso becomes available?

Thank you.

{Ed001's Note - as far as I know, Hughes has always backed Slot and he will be fine so long as performances keep improving.

I would not be a fan of any interim manager, I am not a fan of that kind of thing unlike Ed25. As he admitted last night during the podcast.}

15 Dec 2025 19:03:22
Can we at least have Jurgen come and bollock the players back into fitness!

15 Dec 2025 22:43:28
I should imagine Millie had a word with a few of them at the weekend 😉.

15 Dec 2025 22:45:39
Gerrard as interim? Come on, he was a phenomenal player for us but he is no where close to being good enough to manage us. I’ll never understand the obsession with fans wanting him as manager.

15 Dec 2025 23:14:35
Not many wanted Gerrard as manager, maybe somewhere in the coaching setup at a push. A few weeks ago things were looking a bit desperate for us, thankfully it’s improved.

There could be some rival fans on here distracting from their own managerial woes at the moment, who knows. It’s Thomas Franks turn to feel the media pressure today, probably be Amorim tomorrow. Arne’s having a nice break from it, let’s hope that continues.

16 Dec 2025 07:51:31
No one wanted Gerrard as manager, however some were of the opinion we couldn’t do any worse at one point under Slot. Hopefully Slot can push on for now and continue to stabilise and turn things around, otherwise this will continue to raise discussion around Gerrard.

16 Dec 2025 17:02:14
Can you see slot gone at the end of the season even if we win a trophy?

17 Dec 2025 05:17:28
I wanted Slot to leave about two or three weeks ago, primarily because the club appeared to be - at least according to social media - in complete disarray, rather than him being a poor manager. I thought a fresh face was needed to restore order. I was wrong on two counts - listening to social media and over exaggeration of the disarray.

From a football perspective I think we would not be getting rid of a manager who would have won trophies year on year. Perhaps a case of, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

14 Dec 2025 10:04:52
Hi Diddly Ho,

Mo and Arne have had clear the air talks and Mo will not be leaving in January.

Mo does not want to leave the club.

Ask mentioned just before that interview, Mo and the management team are on different ideologies. That is still the case, but things are not all doom and gloom.

Both Mo and Arne want what’s best for the club overall, this isn’t all about Mo being dropped.

Semenyo is expected to come in January as a RW option, not an immediate replacement - as has always been the case. The club want a deal done early but Bournemouth may try prolong it.

Guehi again, nothing has changed. He’s wanted by us by CP haven’t budged on their fee.

I hope my next update is a development on one of the deals being close/ done.

Please don’t forget to support our club in the good AND the bad A criticism is acceptable but it needs to be for the good of those in charge as of now.

If not before, Happy Holidays to all and the best in the new year.

Diddly Out.

14 Dec 2025 10:25:37
Happy holidays? Perhaps your John, Tom or Billy? 🤔.

14 Dec 2025 10:26:14
Hi ned . thanks as usual

Got to be honest semenyo in from Jan sounds like another explosion ready to happen .
If he is indeed mos replacement long term he is obviously going straight in the team . mo is away all will be fine . but what happens when mo comes back. ? Is he going to fight for his place or just expect to be started . or even if he gets subbed off .
I hope we don't mess about with CP . we want guehi. we need him especially with lack of depth or options there . so just pay the fee and get it done.

I don't suppose you have heard anything on poor Harvey? Likely coming back in jan . hope he just doesn't sit on the bench like the other non slot favourites.

Happy days. hopefully a week between games means we can work on some very good game plans .

14 Dec 2025 10:37:52
My apologies, Mo and Arne have had the clear the air talks. Mo and his agent have also had discussions with the club as well - clearing that air too - this is a very important bit I forgot to mention.

14 Dec 2025 10:52:25
@MightyR3ds

I’m not sure on how the rotation will work when Mo returns - but we continue to start seeing our new signings become a core towards - certainly something to be excited for.

As for Harvey the last update (few weeks ago) I had was the club and AV are exploring options to end the loan early. A early termination fee will be paid by Villa but I’m unsure of the amount, may be negligible especially if we are able to move him elsewhere. I did know of a couple of German clubs interested, but I wouldn’t be surprised if other clubs come in from elsewhere.

In my own opinion I really think Villa have messed Harvey around - this is just me speculating but it wouldn’t surprise me if Emery didn’t know about the deal until it was done. Surprisingly common in football these days.

14 Dec 2025 11:09:31
I really don’t think anyone on this site is not supporting the the team and criticism is required when things are not correct otherwise your living in a dictatorship. Slot has rightfully been criticised along with some players and club officials. All the fans want the best for the club and team it’s that simple.

14 Dec 2025 12:01:34
The Salah stuff is all posturing, surely. He is at peak value now in the context of a 2 year contract, and his form is usually woeful following AFCON.
Semenyo is ready now and will open up space for others. Mo won't fancy being a sub.

14 Dec 2025 12:26:12
It’s not just about Mo being happy either. The club can’t afford Mo not to be in the starting eleven. He’s being paid way too much to turn into a rotation option.

From a wage perspective somebody on those wages needs to be a pivotal part of the team.

14 Dec 2025 12:31:55
I think the thing is @Coul that some of the criticism is just personal opinion and not really based in fact and / or without any understanding of context within the club. You also have to remember that FSG own the club and have the right, as owners, to do whatever they want.

That’s not a dictatorship, that’s business decisions down to the owners. If you, me or anybody else expresses any opinion about the club FSG ignoring the opinion isn’t a dictatorship.

14 Dec 2025 12:34:40
There’s criticism which is constructive and then there’s daft comments like
‘Slot is clueless’
‘Slot has no man-management skills’

Both exist from time to time.

14 Dec 2025 12:35:13
City and Spurs both want Semenyo and going hard for him aswell as us. I think all three will agree fees and it will be upto the player to decide. We have until 10th January. Nothing Bournemouth can do if we offer the release clause and player agrees. Guehi I don't reckon will happen in January.

Glasner already unhappy with Parish about not bringing in players in the summer so will not want to lose his captain midway and Guehi is an honourable man. Expect him on a free in the summer and another perhaps Ordonoz coming in January.

14 Dec 2025 12:51:50
WDW not saying you can’t ignore criticism it’s the fact of trying to say that by being critical we are not supporting our team which is nonsense.

14 Dec 2025 13:10:01
The club aren't just going to pay silly money either for Guehi either with him being free in a few months. And they shudnt either. if its true Palace are asking what they were asking for him in the summer well that's just silly. We were getting offered 20m for Trent Arnold last year, that's the most the club should be offering for Guehi.

14 Dec 2025 14:05:20
I think one of Jacquet or Ordonez is more likely to arrive than Guehi given Palace are participating in another strong season. Glasner and Parish won't want outgoings.

Semenyo seems like the one Hughes wants, so can see that one happening too.

I read that our scouts are watching Rennes v Brest and Lyon v Le Havre this weekend.

Jacquet was suspended and Fofana is out injured, so maybe they are watching other targets.

14 Dec 2025 15:45:44
Thanks for the info and seasons greetings to you, Rod and Todd!

14 Dec 2025 17:27:59
Cheers for update Ned. Keep the info coming 👍🏻.

14 Dec 2025 17:28:16
Ned, I’m of the view that the Villa loan was a waste of time. Elliott would be better served going to Germany, France, or Spain he’d flourish playing regularly in a less physical and more technical level of football. He was never going to succeed at Villa because as soon as results go badly, he’d be the first one dropped.

15 Dec 2025 22:52:41
@Coul, totally agree with the sentiment of your last post - assuming the criticism is thought out and constructive. Unfortunately, in the heat of the moment (being charitable) that’s not always the case,

{Ed025's Note - you need to lighten up a bit WDW,..its Christmas, get that pole out of your arse mate and treat others as you would like to be treated, you never know you might enjoy it more...Scrooge.. :)

13 Dec 2025 23:03:34
There is definitely interest in Michael Olise and also interest in Salah from Munich. There's no chance of a swap deal but people are negotiating. No idea where it will end up but we will find out.

14 Dec 2025 11:28:29
I am not sure about Michael Olise. It seems pretty easy for former EPL players to be on fire in the Bundesliga. Serge Gnabry, Jadon Sancho, Luis Diaz.

14 Dec 2025 12:04:44
Salah would clean up in the Bundi.
I like Olise but reckon there are as good players out there for less.

12 Dec 2025 17:54:12
Just reported on Sky that Mo is in the squad for tomorrow.

12 Dec 2025 19:01:23
No Gakpo, possibly no Isak and Chiesa clearly slept with Slot's wife or ran over his cat or something, so there's not too many options.

At least we can't accuse Slot of being petty about it and insisting on leaving Salah out despite the above.

{Ed025's Note - lets hope this is not the end of it though SR, we need a public apology to the club, his team mates the manager and the supporters, a mandatory £800,000 fine (2 weeks wages) and a warning as to his future conduct..at least..

12 Dec 2025 19:10:11
Now, question is, is this reconciliation or a send off.

Regardless, fingers crossed for a result on Saturday.

12 Dec 2025 19:25:29
A public apology for his public outburst would have been nice. He will clearly have to start as there is no way he sits on the bench, and that worries me. Maybe he will be so full of fury that he bags a few, but if he is as flat as he has been for the past 20 games or so, then all our momentum will be lost, and we will lose - and there is no way he can be subbed.


And I can’t really see him risking injury right before Afcon. I would have liked to see him come back after that tournament, and after an apology - but not right now.
He has let the club, his manager, and teammates down, and his inclusion may well likely lose us the game just so we can bow the knee to him before he moves on.

12 Dec 2025 19:39:29
This is win win if he starts. He plays like he had and it vindicates him being dropped. He bags a hat trick and even if he leaves, it's a great send off and we are likely to win. Personally, I think he'll spoon every attempt at controlling the ball and lose possession constantly and we'll all thank him with a love in at the end.

12 Dec 2025 19:45:15
As a supporter of 45 years I don't need any public apology, I would accept a 100% on the field when Mo plays.

12 Dec 2025 20:16:06
Private apology to behind closed doors is enough. Anyone with any sense can see that’s what’s happened, I just hope he means it!

12 Dec 2025 21:31:34
Ecogsi, you are way wiser and more measured than me. I think you are right, and it’s the sensible way to draw some kind of line under this.

12 Dec 2025 21:45:35
Wouldn’t be surprised if Salah gets brought on with 10 minutes to go, regardless of the score.

12 Dec 2025 22:19:08
Ed025.didn't know Slot was on 400k a week, no wonder he won't leave 🤑.

{Ed025's Note - he should be Strom, dealing with them ego,s in that dressing room mate.. :)

12 Dec 2025 23:05:10
Mostersouness- club has to come first. Slot and salah can’t make this about them. The only way out for the club was for salah to apologise behind closed doors and for slot the players and more importantly for slot accept it and move on. We’ll see what happens tomorrow bit I’m hoping slot swollen the embarrassment and salah when he enters the field reaches the standard expected, plays well, claps the kop and does no interviews.

He can talk about what’s gone on when he’s retired, he’s earned that ❤️.

12 Dec 2025 23:10:28
Seems slot has a big ego himself.

13 Dec 2025 00:42:08
I hope Salah starts, he's got a point to prove and we'll see something special from him I think.

12 Dec 2025 23:25:19
ED025, he'll need all that money for his flights home n Ibiza / Dubia holidays bfr the seasons ends.

{Ed025's Note - unless he gets the team firing you are probably right Strom, i think he has until January or else mate..

13 Dec 2025 09:02:49
Pure hatred for the Manager on this website with lot's of so called fans jumping on a bandwagon and wanting the Manager to fall on his face. As I said before, I thought the fans on this website were a bit different but obviously not. If we can start winning games then it could be a fairly successful transitional season especially in the Champions League since we just beat the finalist in 2/ 3 previous years in their own back yard.

Looking for a solid home performance today and then the momentum could really grow.

{Ed025's Note - i must tell you WM the feeling in the city seems to be that there is not a lot of sympathy for Mo mate, Slot has come out of this very well in fact, not for his tactical acumen but certainly for how he has conducted himself..

13 Dec 2025 09:29:32
Interesting insight Ed, AFCON has come at the right time I think, let the dust settle a bit and shift the focus back to the team.

{Ed025's Note - yeah i think thats worked out well Ernie, the white noise has to stop now and we dont want any silly comments from people when they go away on international duty which has happened in the past mate..

13 Dec 2025 09:41:28
Although the club may have been planning for Mo to go, and sounding out other clubs etc, Mo has been daft in going about things the way he did.

It’s another interesting day though, because if Mo plays a direct part in a win then the press may say it’s some sort of vindication of him, if he plays and we lose then the opposite could apply.

On a side note we’re being linked with a right back Palestra today. Although Connor plays well when fit I think it could be a good move to reinforce the right side.

13 Dec 2025 09:59:20
Thats why i personally think he will be brought on if things are comfortable or if there is an injury Hugo, surely Slot has to stand by his reasoning for dropping him in the first place.

13 Dec 2025 10:11:54
Ernest, Slot might start him in place of Isak.
Who knows, he may excel as a 2nd strker kind of role, 2nd spring of sort.

13 Dec 2025 10:41:14
Maybe so, I hope Chiesa gets the nod. The lad has never once spat his dummy out and gives everything on the pitch.
We will know in a few hours.

13 Dec 2025 11:07:15
Ed025. most people are split 50 / 50 on the manager in the city . esp the people i talk to, everyone wants us to do well but some can't see it happening but some die hards think its too early for a change of manager . I agree with you think he got till new year to sort it .

As for Mo I think he was right in what he said but maybe not in public . sure there is enough media people to let out little stories anyway so his side would have been heard anyway.

{Ed025's Note - i still think Mo was out of order Strom but of course thats just my opinion mate, but Liverpool supporters need to make their mind up on Hughes and Edwards though, they have been slated for throwing Mo under the bus but even if that is true aren,t they just doing whats best for LFC?, you complained when players left on a free and yet they may be making a business decision for the betterment of the club by selling Mo while they can get good money for him to reinvest in the squad?...just a thought..

13 Dec 2025 11:53:28
You’re right Ed, particularly in the sense that dealing with some of these very wealthy and egotistical players is not easy. The general rules of business won’t apply in the same way for the player as it may for the club, and we do want to get a fee for him if he goes.

The idea that you can pay someone £400k a week for sitting on the bench is fantasy stuff, regardless of how great he’s been. That’s what’s got Man Utd into the mess they’re in.

It’s possibly too simple today to think they should be all communicating with each other, and acting like adults. Everything is being played out in public, even his lunch with Hendo, and it’s become more of a game than the football which is never a good thing.

{Ed025's Note - i agree Hugo..

13 Dec 2025 13:53:47
They signed Mo up on a big wage but he could have got triple that in Saudi. so they thought he was worth it or on the other hand they might have promised him things for him to sign . me being a bit cynical they could have well been protecting the club, like getting a transfer fee in a year, who knows eh .

as for the Spanish Judas he to me is like that other Spaniish Judas Macmanaman, no proper scouser would do that to their own club . but that's my personal opinion about him .

13 Dec 2025 14:21:03
Thing is football fans up and down the country have been saying player power is ruining the game, no one is bigger than a club etc.

Isak behaved quite badly really to get out of Newcastle, although he claims a gentleman’s agreement wasn’t honoured. That hasn’t worked out well yet. Quite often it doesn’t, and it’s not a bad thing if there’s a shift back towards clubs holding a bit more power. We were also fed up with the way Trent gave the club the run around last year, and the way Konate is doing similar this year.

I don’t mind us taking a stand, and agreeing contracts but then selling a player. If Mo was on top form we wouldn’t sell him.

In this instance I didn’t like the idea of Mo being ostracised or forced out, but I was in agreement he should have been dropped. Let’s hope for a win, a cameo from Mo and a farewell wave as I think that’s what’s likely to happen here.
