Liverpool rumours 2

25 Jul 2024 05:54:28
Ed’s 002
Hearing Emenalo is set to try and lure Salah again but with a low ball offer knowing he can get him for free next summer.
£30-40m being touted, assume this is complete BS and Liverpool would not even think to consider such an offer?

{Ed002's Note - The budgets for the PIF owned clubs have now been settled so Mr Emanalo will be shopping. I have no idea what Liverpool would except but they are actively looking to a replacement for Salah.}

25 Jul 2024 13:27:33
The Saudis need to drum up some serious interest in their farmers league vanity project. In that regard Salah is worth a lot more than 40m, regardless of having only 1 year left on his contract.

25 Jul 2024 10:18:22
Now they’ve been settled Ed do you foresee Saudi clubs moving for anymore of our players?
Diaz perhaps, with it unlikely he gets the move to Spain he wants.
Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - Tgere is interest in Salah and Alisson. May be one of the few options open to Diaz.}

25 Jul 2024 17:33:47
Fans thinking we'll get more than £40m for Salah are daydreaming. Whatever you think he's worth they know they can get him for free in 12 months and his influence and status won't have declined at all.

25 Jul 2024 21:59:38
Total nonsense Nevada.

24 Jul 2024 21:46:49
My son does baggage at Liverpool airport and he's just seen Richard Rios get off a plane and be greeted by a fella in a Liverpool blazer. Expect things to move quickly on this one.

24 Jul 2024 22:17:43
Greatest one so far.

24 Jul 2024 22:39:56
You should tell your son not to smoke spliffs at work.

24 Jul 2024 22:42:13
Did he have Simao in his suitcase?

24 Jul 2024 23:32:53
Top class old school rumour though.

25 Jul 2024 04:32:12
All the best rumours involve John Lennon Airport.

25 Jul 2024 07:17:42
This is getting rowdy now😂.

25 Jul 2024 07:29:22
Was the Liverpool rep wearing a red scarf and hat too?

25 Jul 2024 07:46:45
I imagine it would be a big security breach if someone from the club managed to get airside to greet a player.

25 Jul 2024 08:36:44
Liverppol rep getting out the car in a full kit.

25 Jul 2024 08:42:16
Brilliant rumour.

25 Jul 2024 09:01:11
Still waiting for the babel copter and flight tracking rumours.

25 Jul 2024 10:13:21
I saw Mbappe there too wearing a Liverpool top. Apparently he has asked Real Madrid for a move as Liverpool Echo has persuaded him.

25 Jul 2024 10:45:43
I love all these home made ‘rumours’ - it adds fun to the website and God knows we take ourselves (myself definitely included) way, way too seriously too often.

25 Jul 2024 11:20:30
Being picked up by Peter Odemwingies chauffer no doubt.

24 Jul 2024 13:06:14
Just a whisper. LFC are quite so confident that VVD will stay for this season. Konate, however, needs to compete with JQ for the starting spot, may be tempted to go to PSG at the right price.

Hence, two replacements might be needed - one for Konate this summer, and another for VVD in 2025.

Inacio (left footed) is the first choice for the replacement. Other options being scouted extensively are Bremer (right footed), Hancko (left), and Jhon Lucumi (Bologna, left footed) .

24 Jul 2024 13:38:10
Thanks, that saved me reading all the footy gossip this morning 👍.

24 Jul 2024 13:46:01
I see a right sided CB as more likely this window than a left sided one. I mean we need to replace VVD, but assuming he extends, who exactly is the left sided CB we’re going to bring in this window that is of the required level to replace VVD in a year or two and also will be happy to be in that back-up / squad player role?

24 Jul 2024 14:20:58
Inacio could be available for as little as £25m. Better to get a replacement sorted now, rather than be in the market for one in 18months, as prices will go up 10-15m as clubs will know we're in the market. Look at the CDM situation last year.

Also, Konate, Gomez, Quansah, VVD and even SVDB (likley to leave) are all right footed. a left footed cb makes the most sense, you're even covering LB as well. Jorrel Hato, Ajax kiddie must be on Richard Hughes list also.

24 Jul 2024 14:33:05
Why is inacio price now 25m thought he was 40m at least?

24 Jul 2024 14:33:11
I've read an article this morning stating that Leverkusen could be looking to sell Hincapie as it seems more likely that Tah stays. Problem is he expects to be a starter. But as he can also play LB, he might be ahead of Robbo. But I guess the same could be said about Inacio/ Hancko.

24 Jul 2024 15:05:37
Faith, Dean Huijsen as a longer term replacement, predominantly left footed but comfortable playing right side as well, 6’5”, strong on the ground, good in the air (as you’d hope) and relatively mobile for a big lad. Had a decent season at Roma and Juve are looking to sell to get some money in as he’s a very saleable asset.

24 Jul 2024 15:32:41
@longthing76 - Not sure mate, was stated on the yesterdays RedmenTV podcast that he's now available for around £25M.

24 Jul 2024 15:58:59
Get Inacio in asap. Even if VVD signs a contract extension, let them battle it out to be number 1 LCB. Plenty of games to play next season for the both of them to get the minutes.

24 Jul 2024 16:11:03
100%, potentially around 50/ 60 games next season, Konate and Gomez are bound to pick up a few knocks along the way.

24 Jul 2024 16:24:24
Juve aren't looking to sell. They may need to sell but their preference is not to and they'll avoid it if they can.

24 Jul 2024 18:50:52
Hasn't Gomez been talking to Emiliano about a move to SA?

24 Jul 2024 19:22:55
Joe needs to move on, great player on his day but injuries have cost him badly.
Konate cannot string 5 games together without looking wilted or getting injured, again a beast on his day but way too inconsistent to be considered reliable.

25 Jul 2024 04:44:04
Sepp and Phillips likely to leave so we'd need another CB (at least) in the squad. Also we're one VVD injury away from being in a terrible place defensively so you'd think the CB coming would need to be seen as a starter.

25 Jul 2024 08:49:49
VV - not sure Hjulsen is the name fans are salivating for.

But I would see that as a far more realistic option in this window as a transition from VVD. Can’t see us getting someone like Inacio in this window unless he’s coming in ready to compete and potentially not play a lot. That would be the scenario for a “big name” but seems less likely imo.

25 Jul 2024 15:05:01
“Just a whisper”

Scene - Sefton Park, early morning. We see a man sat by the lake, he is feeding the swans, he is approached furtively by another man in an overcoat and fedora.

“Shshshhshhshhshshs”

“What? ”

“Shhshshs shhshhs shshhshs new contract for Virgil”

“Aaaah”.

25 Jul 2024 23:30:32
I want to know when it became normal for CB's to specialise as being either left or right sided to be honest. Maybe I just never paid enough attention when I was younger but I don't recall Ferdinand, Terry, Campbell, King, Adams, Hyypia, Carragher having a 'side'. Yeah they can have a preference but they shouldn't be incapable of doing the other side. It's like Jones saying "oh no I can't play on the right side of this midfield 2 or 3. I can only play left side".
Baffling honestly.

24 Jul 2024 10:38:00
Any interest in Richard rios colombia/ palmeiras dm anyone rate him and could Diaz have a word.

{Ed002's Note - Lots from elsewhere.

24 Jul 2024 11:02:46
Hello, I posted a few weeks back about my cousin doing the security on two houses for Liverpool players incoming.

This work has now been carried out and maintained one of the players he said it was pacho. He has said he is certain it is him the tenant’s surname is Tenorio over a 18 month tenancy. (He knows it is this long as that’s how long his security contract is for) .
Why it is taking so long I have no Idea neither does he but says this can be quite normal as in the past when they have planned moves but certain factors like loyalty bonuses paid on certain dates and not wanting to lose them, too players and agents just playing the game to get the contracts they want and it adds delays.

As for the Spanish player still completely in the fog about that one as he hasn’t been instructed any further to finish the work just that is in the pipeline with the usual quotes and extras that clients request.

That is the only update I have for it throw it away or believe it a little that is up to you just passing on what I have been told


He has also done work for one Everton’s new boys that moved in and has been instructed for one more but on a 12 month contract.

24 Jul 2024 12:06:38
Cheers for the info Eddie.

I’m stumped on the Spanish player! Only one I can think of is Raphinia (Brazilian playing in Spain ) or Nico Williams (seems Barcelona bound) . Maybe that’s why it’s all gone quiet as they’re not a target anymore…

I have a gut feeling pacho might sign but remain at Frankfurt for another season, like we did with Naby Keita.

24 Jul 2024 12:10:53
Nice one Eddie 👍.

24 Jul 2024 12:27:36
VEIGA? OLMO? WILLIAMS? MOLEIRO?

{Ed002's Note - It is simply BS.}

24 Jul 2024 12:27:37
So I just heard from a fella I know who polishes solar panels with Brillo pads that the Spanish player is Zubamendi. He’s moving in and has a special paddock for his Aplacas (Trevor and Simon) .

He will be sharing the no.6 shirt with Ederson. Deals done, just need to confirm the Alpacas don’t have rabies.

24 Jul 2024 12:27:48
Dani Olmo is also spanish and Slot is probably interested.

{Ed002's Note - You are like the biggest most gullible suckers.}

24 Jul 2024 12:30:40
Pacho and Zubimendi and the Twitter explodes :D.

24 Jul 2024 12:34:44
A good old school rumour. Is the Spanish player Olmo?

24 Jul 2024 13:50:04
I think sharing a shirt wouldn't allow the mobility we would need from a No 6.

24 Jul 2024 12:55:28
Ed002 we love an old-school rumour, go easy on us, like a mother humouring her toddler.

{Ed002's Note - It is nonsense this that clutters up the rumours page I am afraid.}

24 Jul 2024 17:09:59
I like that in this post it's his cousin that does the security where as the last post it was his brother. Can't even get the story right with which family does the "security"

24 Jul 2024 18:35:57
OMG.

The rumors of late have been pure Gold. please don't stop them from being posted Eds.

We've had players who are in-laws, to cousins who install the security systems in the new players houses, to a few more that I can't remember but just WOW.

These old school rumours are the best!

The transfer market might be slow but these rumors make up for it 🤣.

25 Jul 2024 01:39:02
Could be a Spanish Goalkeeper.

24 Jul 2024 10:21:08
Hi Eds, do we have any interest in Giorgi Kochorashvili? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - To replace Becker?}

24 Jul 2024 11:05:54
The lad was asking about the Georgian midfielder from Levante. It's not a goalie from Valencia who's name is Giorgi Mamardashvili.

24 Jul 2024 18:55:59
Stan. Barak may or may not be a lad? ✌.

25 Jul 2024 11:01:29
eddielfc1 IS that you, Eds?

{Ed001's Note - what?}

24 Jul 2024 10:16:31
Hi Ed: any serious interest from Liverpool in Matt O’Riley? …. cracking player with very high ceiling for improvement imo. Cheers!

{Ed002's Note - RTP.}

24 Jul 2024 12:01:40
Surely we’ve enough midfielders like him?

24 Jul 2024 12:02:46
I did search ‘Matt O’Riley’ and nothing came up but no worries, I’ll keep my fingers crossed :)

24 Jul 2024 16:02:39
I'll keep mine crossed he doesn't sign.
