Liverpool Rumours 2

01 Feb 2026 18:30:53
'Lutsharel Geertruida-Liverpool deal considered OFF by Sunderland after talks not advancing today. '

Well, I guess it wouldn't be a transfer window without a failed transfer and a degree of disappointment.

01 Feb 2026 18:53:58
I refer you to:

01 Feb 2026 11:15:37
inb4 it's really complicated and expensive for Leipzig to cancel the loan to Sunderland and they end up demanding an extra £5m to make it happen in the last 5 minutes of the transfer window and the move collapses.

01 Feb 2026 18:54:50
We'll find out we hardballed on £5k.

01 Feb 2026 18:59:24
If only the transfer window was 30 days long or so, so we had time to work out these deals.

01 Feb 2026 19:10:34
Not surprised. We rarely get last minute deals over the line. We takes months to complete deals.

Pity. He looked a perfect addition.

01 Feb 2026 19:19:35
How inept can we be? The Guhie cockup in the summer surly must have given a lesson in how not to deal with a potential move!

I know this is not the same, and given how complex it is, due diligence seems to be left so late in the day. It's clear we need help, any target should have been ID at the beginning of the window at the latest. It's comes out with a day left that we are targeting a player already on- lone and a player still recovering from an injury. We are acting like desperate amateurs it's embarrassing.

01 Feb 2026 19:29:24
We've had enough time to get a deal done, after a failed attempt in the summer granted not all our doing we should have had someone in 1st January.

01 Feb 2026 19:38:12
Ed's any idea on why we one waited until the end of the window and secondly why we are going for players who are already on loan or injured? I backed Hughes in the summer but what the heck are we playing at. I would not mind if we just played Ramsey but we desperately need CB cover.

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea other than incompetence.}

01 Feb 2026 19:39:46
Why on earth would we leave it until the last hours of a transfer window to attempt such a complicated deal?
Smells like a Richard Hughes classic.

01 Feb 2026 19:40:57
This was just an emergency loan because of the Frimpong injury the other day, so wasn't being looked at for earlier in the window.

Any long term business seems to be for the summer.

01 Feb 2026 20:01:07
Getting Dom to re-sign whilst he's playing RB is not going to be easy.

Gomez needs replacing, why not do that now? A utility defender, but one who stays fit is what we need. We can't depend on Jo, Connor or Frimpong by the looks of things.

01 Feb 2026 20:17:43
Could be Sunderland being super awkward. The player was obviously buzzing with the idea of the move. They could of given the "green light" but with unrealistic expectations. We really don't know half of it. I know its frustrating especially when us man children go rushing to Youtube and start altering our imaginary line ups lol.

01 Feb 2026 19:46:17
That is what I was afraid of Ed. I hope Hughes either sorts it out or is moved on in the summer. We need some cover.

01 Feb 2026 20:29:05
It was clear at the end of the summer we wanted to sign a defender who could play more than one position with the pursuit of Guehi. To get as far as we did with that and knowing that we already lost Leoni, and with all of Gomez, Bradley and Frimpong having injury issues in the first part of the season, and with Konate and Gomez's poor injury history, as well as Konate's form, not following up on the Guehi interest on the grounds of "let's wait and see" is somewhere between extreme hubris assuming he'd wait and utter incompetence in knowing we had issues and chose to spunk the season away.

We're an iniury away to either Van Dijk or Konate away from catastrophe. F*** around and find out appears to be our new motto.

01 Feb 2026 21:02:02
Regardless id whether its Sunderland messing around or not. the fact it was obvious we needed defensive reinforcement months ago to end up on the eve of the transfer window shutting missing a target goes to show that there are other people aside Arne who's jobs should be on the line.
Should have been lining a deal up before the window opened.

01 Feb 2026 21:08:59
I think people are being harsh l.

1. Frimpong only got injured mid week so we weren't in the market *desperately* needing a fullback before that point (ie during the rest of the window)

2. Ornstein or Romano (can't remember which) reported that talks began several days ago with him, so we didn't wait until the last days, even though that's when the news broke.

Getting players in that are good enough, improve us, are available, want to come and are affordable in January is difficult. There's no doubt about that.

Hughes and team haven't been great but I don't blame them much for this one.

01 Feb 2026 21:25:44
Hughes and Edwards out! The incompetence is inexcusable.

I half suspect It's not even incompetence, at this stage it feels like they're just looking for excuses.

01 Feb 2026 21:36:39
Navy, it's not about Frimpong "just" getting an injury midweek mate. Him and Connor have been a liability all season (and last season too for Connor).

Gomez has always been a liability, apart from that one season he was world class next to VVD.

Konate is fairly injury prone too. Leoni we don't have. Ramsey or any academy players aren't trusted.

We were already desperate before the Frimpong injury. Look at any of the clubs above us, they all have more cover in defence than we do currently. Look at Arsenal how they'd been able to still compete well (relatively) on all fronts because they have so many defenders who can play more than one position.

Like said above by VV, we lose one of VVD or Konate and we're pretty much done. we should've never been in this position. Hughes/ Edwards or whoever is responsible, has/ have shown to be extremely incompetent and should be the first one (s) to go in the summer!

02 Feb 2026 03:42:36
At least we don't have to play until next weekend now.
Give the players a solid week of training and recovery.
Arsenal, City, Chelsea, Newcastle all in action midweek.

01 Feb 2026 18:19:38
Reports now coming in that Lutsharel Geertruida is set to stay at Sunderland.

01 Feb 2026 19:26:31
Some reports saying he turned us down, and we've moved on to the Hungary right back.

01 Feb 2026 19:39:33
Loic Negó is 35.

01 Feb 2026 19:51:32
Rolland Salai. Seems more of a wingback / midfielder.

01 Feb 2026 13:53:27
Hello all,

The leak within the dressing room has been found.

It falls in line with some of the news you have been seeing lately, make of that what you will.

01 Feb 2026 14:35:48
My Money is on Jones being the leak.

01 Feb 2026 14:42:47
Jones causing issues, gets himself put onto the market as punishment?

01 Feb 2026 14:44:49
Get the plumbers in.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think it holds any water Avit..

01 Feb 2026 14:45:12
So Curtis?

01 Feb 2026 14:45:26
Please elaborate Victor!

01 Feb 2026 14:49:47
Give us a clue?

01 Feb 2026 14:59:22
Wow. Any chance you would reveal the traitor?

01 Feb 2026 15:00:35
Who is it, does anyone know?

01 Feb 2026 15:08:24
Any news on who or what?

01 Feb 2026 15:09:21
What news is that then, Victor?

01 Feb 2026 15:20:34
Are we talking about a player or staff? C Jones has been the only hint of transfer noise lately or maybe Robertson, can't imagine either to be getting involved in leaks.

01 Feb 2026 15:42:46
Curtis had more recent links away than Robbo, and the Inter one was out of the blue. Whoever it is and whatever their agenda we don't need it.

It's nice to get some transfer rumours, and we're not all naive enough to think there aren't problems in clubs, but the personal stuff was unnecessary.

Anyway a week is a long time in football and things feel better than they did after Bournemouth. If we get a good player in tomorrow things feel better again, if Villa draw or lose the pack gets a bit tighter, we just need to keep improving and picking up wins.

01 Feb 2026 15:44:58
Leak in Dutch is "Lek". So it's obviously A Lek Is Mac Allister.

CASE CLOSED 😜.

01 Feb 2026 15:59:46
Ned Flanders has retired as a Liverpool-Rumours ITK.

Joking aside, I've not heard anything over the last few days though so Victor could well be on the money here. As said numerous times, I've been expecting my source to be cut off.

01 Feb 2026 16:01:56
I think the Curtis story was the leak finding material. He was never going to move on, and it was fed via a single source.

01 Feb 2026 16:12:06
I'm preferring not to name people specifically, but I think people have been pointing a lot of their disrespect at the wrong people inside the club in the last few weeks. Particularly in regard to this internet fed "bust-up" after the Bournemouth game.

Slot was correct in his statement regarding people not knowing everything behind the scenes. A lot of clean up has been done by Virgil too, credit to him. Carra/ Fields will know what I'm on about.

01 Feb 2026 16:01:56
Love it Ed25!

My guess would be Salah

As a senior he prob has the most knowledge of what's going on. Also Carra has said previously he would no be speaking about Salah at all from now on. which i assume/ guess being more ITK maybhave legs

Not sure it is Curtis as Fields quite often says only positive things about him.

So Salah for me.

He is the one who has been most vocal publicly as well.

{Ed025's Note - im not sure who it is MR mate..

01 Feb 2026 16:34:01
This is hurting my brain - it's like a riddle, if someone can literally spell it out for me I would appreciate it greatly. So Curtis Jones is the leak? Or was the story about Curtis kicking off a lie? Oh there goes my head again. Can someone help me out here 🤣🙈.

01 Feb 2026 16:47:00
Wait. so Curtis is leaking info about himself going to Inter?

01 Feb 2026 17:25:52
This feels very Wagatha Christie, maybe Coleen was hired and the Jones story was all a ploy to root out out the leak?

01 Feb 2026 17:28:47
Always love a good whodunit. Like a good old one, the culprit will generally be someone whom we never expect. My money is on Endo. He might have been passing secrets outside the club by writing in Japanese, which no one in the club understands. Classic way of hiding in broad daylight. 😃😃😃.

01 Feb 2026 17:29:13
More gossip on here than a load of grannies down the bingo.

01 Feb 2026 17:59:10
Leaks been found but it's irrelevant as we aren't signing anyone and no one being sacked.

01 Feb 2026 17:58:46
What secrets have we got to leak? we have been rubbish all season, there's no secrets in that! only the truth.

Van de Ven has not played for Spurs today, not even on the bench, doubtful there will be any incomings/ outgoings.

LFC are currently Sixth in the PL, Manchester United three PL wins on the bounce now Fourth, they have no PL/ Cup midweek games till season ends, fresh as daisies for all PL games, no midweek game for LFC this week also.

I forecast around circa October that Manchester United would finish above us looking very good? even if Amorim had stayed as well!

So LFC face man city with a full weeks rest next Sunday 4.30pm KO Sky Sports, as a very poor newcastle face man city in the EFL Cup semi final this Wednesday at the Etihad, shooting practice also?

Sunderland have yet to be beaten in a home PL game, who are LFCs opponents away on Wednesday 11 February 20:15 Kick Off in the Prem after man city home next Sunday.

Marc Guehi has opened his man city goal scoring account just now! beating his own goalkeeper aptly named "Done A Runner", like he done a Runner on LFC last Summer!

01 Feb 2026 18:48:26
Now this is an interesting thread.

01 Feb 2026 18:53:22
I imagine the leak is not directly a player, but their agent. Though, I am not sure what exactly has been leaked in any event?

01 Feb 2026 19:07:02
How about STC as the leak?

01 Feb 2026 19:07:21
My guess that the leak is Salah's agent - Ramy Abbas.

01 Feb 2026 19:09:42
What's the point of this point of no names are mentioned.

01 Feb 2026 21:49:51
The biggest leak is the one who leaks that there is a leak.

01 Feb 2026 12:49:16
Hello all,

The move for Geertruida was approached with more optimism than confidence.

In the meantime, we were looking to other versatile options such as Seys.

An unexpected go ahead was given to make the move happen this window.

Versatility is seen as essential.

Ta.

01 Feb 2026 13:42:50
Bless ya.

01 Feb 2026 13:48:40
Hi Carra I see Sunderland have a buy option of £23m at the end of season so I'd hope we keep it the same and pick him up. Seys looks good and with Robbo and Tsimikas leaving it makes sense to bring him in aswell.

01 Feb 2026 13:48:40
Cheers carra.

01 Feb 2026 13:54:20
Cheers, Carra.

The Geertruida loan makes a lot of sense all round.

It seems like the Jacquet talks are getting close to conclusion. Any insight on what the lad wants?

01 Feb 2026 14:36:25
is it true that JJ favours Chelski and a 12 year contract?

01 Feb 2026 14:43:30
Cheers Carra, very optimistic news. I think it's smart business.

01 Feb 2026 15:32:10
Hi Cara hope you ok thanks for all your information is slot still going in the summer and Alonso is going take over? Your input is greatly appreciated thanks.

01 Feb 2026 15:46:58
Jacquet is signing up for nightclubs and benchwarmibg. Well done sir!

01 Feb 2026 18:05:57
Not wishing to be Rude! but whose Gert- Rude!

01 Feb 2026 11:01:01
Geertruida is a decent stopgap signing imho, hopefully we get the deal over the line.
I've seen a few rumours floating around that we are also trying to secure Dayot Upamecano on a precontract agreement.

01 Feb 2026 12:27:37
I don't really rate Upamecano at all but he will be on a free and we need at least two, if not three, center halves with experience at the highest level, so I guess bringing him in as a squad player would not be the very worst of ideas if he isn't asking for massive wages.

01 Feb 2026 12:31:21
That will be crazy, Upamecano. Konate was the better of them at Leipzig. If we are complaining about Konate, why go for the worst guy? Did you know a commentator once called him UpameGuire? Lol

Seriously, I hope not.

01 Feb 2026 12:47:19
Konate is miles better than Upamecano and his wage demands are less too.

01 Feb 2026 14:28:50
Upamecano would want huge wages though. I'd imagine in the same level we're refusing to give Ibou. More likely he's just using our name and signs back on with Bayern.

01 Feb 2026 11:50:32
Metal Mickey - My favourite all time rumour on this site dates back to 2011/ 2012 which read something like this:

'My friend is a high class window cleaner in Fulham and he was cleaning Clint Dempsey's windows when he happened to see an LFC screensaver on Dempsey's PC Screen through the window. Looks like Dempsey is nailed on to join LFC'.

Ed033 - if you could kindly dig up the original post and re-post? We could all do with a laugh. That was genuinely the funniest rumour ever on this site.

{Ed033's Note - 27 Jan 2012 12:39:21
A mate of mine is a high class window cleaner in the Fulham area and covers many very nice houses. He sent me a text last night reporting that Clint Dempsey's computer's screen saver has changed from montages of Texas to images of the wirral. Could this be the sign we were all waiting for?

Ian

01 Feb 2026 12:02:18
I love that. Brilliant rumour at the time. The things that would have aligned to have a window cleaner see that on Dempseys screen. Ha!

01 Feb 2026 12:04:24
I actually remember that! Clint Dempsey! We were very excited about it!

01 Feb 2026 12:23:33
Wow, why can't we have more of these sorts of rumours nowadays.

01 Feb 2026 12:25:56
Arne mate, that is boss lmao.
Reminds me when Simao was queuing in the Asda behind me and he was asking me about the best places for a night out. Great times!

01 Feb 2026 12:46:22
I can't believe i remember that. I've been on this site way too long. Yet not nearly long enough. My highlight was the night torres went and suarez and carroll came in on the tramsfer deadline day. Or ed2 continually stating that konoplyanka (i think it was him) hadn't actually been contacted but sly sports had him pretty much doing a medical with us.

01 Feb 2026 13:08:26
No rumour has come close to that since.

01 Feb 2026 13:12:49
I remember that. Clint Dempsey. And we were about to give up Jordan Henderson for him. 😂.

01 Feb 2026 13:13:35
Omg. Clint Dempsey. just makepeace and get over it.

01 Feb 2026 13:30:29
It would be remiss of me not to mention the Babelcopter.

01 Feb 2026 13:05:37
🤣🤣🤣 I remember it well, still as funny now. If not funnier. Well done Arne for almost getting it right and well done E33 for rooting it out.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks.

01 Feb 2026 17:34:07
Did we used to get regular sightings of potential signings getting battered sausage and chips round the corner from Anfield?

Seem to remember quite a few posts about a local chippy (or was the source a joiner? )

01 Feb 2026 08:38:26
Lutsharel Geertruida in talks with the club according to Romano.

01 Feb 2026 10:26:43
Anyone is better then no one!

01 Feb 2026 10:55:26
i can't see Sunderland agreeing to cut his loan short so he can sign for Liverpool on loan? so are we trying to buy him?

01 Feb 2026 10:57:17
To be fair, I recall that ED002 (RIP) mentioned multiple times that he thought Geertruida would be a good signing for us.

01 Feb 2026 11:15:37
inb4 it's really complicated and expensive for Leipzig to cancel the loan to Sunderland and they end up demanding an extra £5m to make it happen in the last 5 minutes of the transfer window and the move collapses.

01 Feb 2026 11:23:00
We had the chance to get Guehi and we are now shopping in bargain basement land. If Slot is still Manager next season and Alonso goes elsewhere then FSG need to go.

01 Feb 2026 12:04:10
Have Sunderland any say in agreeing to this if they can't get a replacement in place?

Honest question as I don't know.

01 Feb 2026 12:24:16
Apparently Sunderland are okay with letting him go, he really wants to come to Liverpool by the sounds of things so they don't want to stand in his way.

01 Feb 2026 12:48:32
TheOne - what the sane FSG who re built one of the worlds great grounds / a state of the art training pitch and facilities, invested in numerous world class players and presided over our greatest success since Kenny's days?

01 Feb 2026 13:30:22
Why are we signing lots of Dutch players.

01 Feb 2026 14:03:31
Why does it matter madmax?

Under Slot we have signed one so far who had a choice of international countries to represent.

VVD has been excellent, Gravenburch has been integral, Gakpo contributed as much as anyone barring Salah last season

Wijnaldum, Kuyt were very good, Westerveld, Zenden.

01 Feb 2026 14:30:41
I'd rather this deal than Guehi on 300k a year.

01 Feb 2026 18:13:01
Indeed FM. Like everyone I was gutted we didn't get guelhi over the line in the summer and would have loved him at Anfield but what most seem to not understand is it's a business and yes £20M was a bargain fee but LFC was never thing to make him the 3rd highest player on £300k a week. That's £78M over a 5 year contract compared say with someone on £120k a week that's £31M over 5 years.

It's not just all about up front transfer fees. FSG have over seen the best success of this club since the 80s when I used to love watching hansen, barnes, rush and of course the king, anyone wanting fsg out need to seriously give their heads a shake.

{Ed001's Note - he wasn't asking that from us.}

01 Feb 2026 08:36:31
So, rumours of us signing Lutsharel Geertruida are starting to hot up. We have a real desperate need for a full back and centre back, and he fulfills both criteria's in one. Sounds like a loan, rather than a permanent transfer, though. So could very well earn a move to us with positive performances. Although, it will raise his price at the same time. Feel for Sunderland, as he has been a mainstay with them, but screw them :P

All makes sense to me. Hopefully get this over the line.

01 Feb 2026 08:55:04
Does make perfect sense. Can play all along a back 4 or 3 and holding midfielder. Honestly thought he would have been one of Slot's first signings.

01 Feb 2026 08:59:44
Ornstein reporting it, so must have legs.

Taking over his loan apparently. Makes sense imo - not many better, achievable options out there in this window.

01 Feb 2026 09:10:28
Certainly would suggest they continue to back Slot, if this does happen. He's a Slot man through and through.

01 Feb 2026 09:11:30
He was linked with us a before he joined them, so could be something in it.

Can we loan him given the arrangement with Sunderland?

01 Feb 2026 09:44:43
I've always been a big fan of his and have always wanted us to sign him, he has always come across as a lovely guy and is a good footballer, I'm sure slot can see him get back to his best again.

01 Feb 2026 09:50:16
Seems like a player can have two loans in a season arranged in different windows to answer my own question, and also so long as the clubs aren't linked. It's being reported Sunderland want a replacement in first, so not yet nailed on.

01 Feb 2026 10:15:49
Frimpong injured on Weds, wait til window almost closed to make late move. Hope it happens like, want Dom in midfield, but.

01 Feb 2026 10:54:05
Would be a versatile addition and loan is a good idea, considering the changes at the top and summer rebuild that has been mentioned.

01 Feb 2026 10:56:38
I can't see Sunderland agreeing to cut his loan short so liverpool can loan him?

01 Feb 2026 12:24:22
Ok now this would be a sensible move for January. It shows that they recognise the issue and actually want to do something about it.

01 Feb 2026 12:33:21
Give them Calvin.

01 Feb 2026 12:50:32
Ramsey to them would be a good shout if they were interested. Needs games desperately and a run of games somewhere. I have to say I don't know what position he plays for Sunderland. Is it midfield or defensive?

31 Jan 2026 17:30:41
Liverpool update. – Xabi Alonso

Liverpool have reached a verbal agreement with Xabi Alonso to become the club's next head coach, subject to final contract details.

The deal is in place in principle for the 2026 transition, with Alonso committing to the project as the long-term successor.

Manchester City have not yet approached Alonso or his representatives – contrary to some reports, no formal contact has been made from the Etihad.

Liverpool are actively exploring an alternative structure that would allow Alonso to join immediately rather than waiting until the summer. This option carries additional complexities around compensation, legalities, and the handling of Arne Slot's current contract.

Arne Slot's departure is now a firm decision – whether that occurs immediately or at the end of the season remains the only outstanding question.

No player is happy with Arne Slot and his training methods. Some players have said he is too calm.

Alonso wants this job.

The wheels are turning at pace. A reunion with the 2005 hero is moving from possibility to near-certainty.

More on timing and structure as it finalises.

Some boy wilson on x apparently confirmed this. How accurate it is nobody knows i suppose.

31 Jan 2026 17:48:06
Well some people will know how accurate it is, officials at Liverpool, Alonso's agent, Alonso himself.

Thanks for passing it on.

31 Jan 2026 18:54:22
"Liverpool are actively exploring an alternative structure that would allow Alonso to join immediately rather than waiting until the summer. This option carries additional complexities around compensation, legalities, and the handling of Arne Slot's current contract. "

Or we could just pay out his contract.

31 Jan 2026 19:35:58
I'm not saying there aren't some genuine ITKs that post here but the amount of people now posting to get attention is getting out of hand.

31 Jan 2026 20:04:48
Really appreciate the itks, but I do find these pretend itk posts beyond belief. Just takes a weird psychological profile to pretend to know something beyond your ken….

31 Jan 2026 20:10:25
Tbf to OP, he did post his source, and not that he is ITK.

31 Jan 2026 20:46:55
Only ones I pay any attention to are Carra and TheFields.

31 Jan 2026 22:38:17
I'll respect Slot and forever be grateful for what he did last season. But the football we've played this season has been nothing short of awful. Yes the players have a massive part or play. Mistakes, lack of bite etc is unforgivable but slot sets the tempo, tactics and master plan and to be frank he's got it horribly wrong.

This squad has been reigned in, shackled and nullified with his tactics. Thank you but we must move on.

31 Jan 2026 22:42:48
Dont pay attention to any of them.

31 Jan 2026 22:53:12
Just copied and pasted off Twitter from Wilson cox.

31 Jan 2026 23:30:58
Metal Mickey - Its a copy and paste from WilsonCoxLFC on twittwer. OP clearly states that at the bottom of the post, he never claimed to be in the know.

01 Feb 2026 01:35:15
It's a rumour he's reposted give the lad a break, thanks for taking the time.

01 Feb 2026 01:39:12
Thanks chewy and the kop army.

Im not in the know, Clearly some people don't read the whole post.

Again the Eds should change the title of the page to "Liverpool facts". To let certain posters get their ocd rubbed.

Just trying to pass on certain bits of information that might spark a debate and let people that haven't intrest or time to monitor other sources get some rumours to mull over.

Keep it to yourselves but I did hear we are signing. copied and pasted from the Sunday world.

01 Feb 2026 03:12:15
@Ecogsi, perhaps 2 wins in 4 days with an aggregate score of 10 - 1, auto qualification to the last 16 of the CL and a pasting for the Geordies might be a little bit of a start?

01 Feb 2026 06:10:28
Dont forget the unbeaten in 16 run just a week or two back WDW.

01 Feb 2026 08:45:39
Fingers crossed WDW but we have to approach games like that every week not one in six.

01 Feb 2026 09:46:32
"Liverpool facts"

Lol.

31 Jan 2026 13:07:03
Hello all,

Liverpool have asked about availability and price for Brugge left back Joaquin Seys.

Signing would be for the summer.

Ta.

31 Jan 2026 13:18:50
Cheers, as always, Carra.

31 Jan 2026 13:18:55
Im for gettign 5m for robbo now rather than nothing in all fairness. That would depend on bringing someone in though.

31 Jan 2026 13:24:49
Joaquin Seys it's true.

31 Jan 2026 13:25:09
Cheers Carra! Straight on YouTube to watch every time he's kicked a ball!

31 Jan 2026 13:31:12
Cheers, Carra.

Had hoped we might get his team mate, Joel Ordonez, this month to help us out.

31 Jan 2026 13:32:03
sounds like another leak detecting rumour / name. plugging those holes.

31 Jan 2026 13:41:51
why r we getting a left back? as back up to Kerkez?

31 Jan 2026 13:45:20
I'm just wondering what the point is in asking about players when we know we're getting a new manager in the summer. What if the new manager doesn't feel he is right for the setup he wants to implement? And if these are players bought without his input, how can they expect success on the pitch with such a transfer model? It's like telling someone to become a mechanic and choosing his tools for him, when you yourself know nothing about fixing cars.

I don't get it.

31 Jan 2026 14:03:21
Passes the YouTube test.

31 Jan 2026 14:30:22
Apparently he can play as a right full back and on the wing too, looks a useful player.

31 Jan 2026 15:31:15
That's why we have a head coach now instead of a manager, Bulk. The head coach is able to inform on the kind of player he needs but doesn't have final say as to the player who is actually brought in. We need an LB regardless though so getting one in makes sense.

31 Jan 2026 15:32:51
Incredible bulk we won't be bringing in a new manager it will be a head coach.

31 Jan 2026 15:33:58
Both Robbo and Tsimikas will be off and Beck won't make it. Chambers is the one but needs experience.

31 Jan 2026 15:45:25
We'll end up with Simon seys.

31 Jan 2026 15:48:54
We don't know we are getting a new manager in the summer Mr Incredible Bulk.

The ITKs here have said we are but they said Semenyo was done about an hour before he broke it was going to City. Not having a go at them or saying they're unreliable, but they have said certain things that haven't panned out.

31 Jan 2026 16:03:59
Thanks, Carra.

One of them players who loves to get forward but defensively gets caught out often, I've only seen him a few times though so probably wrong to have an opinion on the lad.

31 Jan 2026 16:30:25
Another more suited to playing wing back.
Can see us playing 3-5-2 next season whether it is Slot or Alonso.

31 Jan 2026 17:07:26
Hi Bulk

We don't have a manager we have a coach and the role of a coach is to get the best out of the players they are given.

31 Jan 2026 17:08:10
Finally!

After all those years the Joaquin rumours are back 😁.

31 Jan 2026 17:57:33
Nice one Carra. Any sign of activity in the rest of this window?
Thanks.

31 Jan 2026 18:28:28
Karius passed the YouTube test for a lot of posters back in the day. Just saying.

31 Jan 2026 18:37:41
Blast from the past, Ron.

31 Jan 2026 18:51:06
My point is Dracred / Ravelston / Jari, is that Alonso (apparently) will be the new "head coach". So why are they looking at bringing players in when Slots not even got one toe out the door yet? Not to mention that both, or one of Edwards and Hughes could be following him. Then there's the coaching staff. Can this new player they want to buy be coached to the best of his abilities with the incoming staff, whoever they are?

It's all too bizarre of a model to work under if i'm honest. Can't say it's worked out too well for us this season. I know if i was in charge of the team, i would want to have the final say on who i am going to coach rather than some pencil pusher.

31 Jan 2026 19:05:49
Excellent Carra. That's an inspired left field spot and fits into Alonsos style of play.

31 Jan 2026 19:49:28
What year was that Ron?.15-20 years.?. seems like yesterday!

31 Jan 2026 21:19:58
It's a shame the rumours page died. It used to be really good fun. E
When did it switch to the majority of people taking everything people say literally and either attacking the contributor or believing 100% that what has been posted is absolutely bound to happen. Like I say, it used to be a laugh.

31 Jan 2026 23:49:58
Is Joaquin Spanish for Simon?

01 Feb 2026 10:01:22
Great player Joaquin, the equivalent of an aspas or a totti for betis.

31 Jan 2026 05:43:42
Hearing that Mama is joining Besiktas on loan, which frees up a non homegrown place for Dumfries. Makes sense as allows Frimpong to play further forward when he's back from injury.

31 Jan 2026 08:54:39
Isn't Dumfries injured and not played since November?

31 Jan 2026 08:59:43
Imagine Dumfries and Frimpong returning from injury in the same game. March 1?
Watch out West Ham, the rehab brothers are coming to ambush ya!

31 Jan 2026 09:50:32
All of these mad rumours are designed to smoke out the moles. Ali's injury record, plus woodman being championship level mean there is no way Mamma is leaving on loan. He came in knowing he would be back up.

Dumfries, Jones, Mama rumours do not make sense - they are planted rumours, with a specific intention.

31 Jan 2026 09:51:30
Lets get harry Kewell back for the left wing also.

31 Jan 2026 10:02:40
Ken Aguero eating a meatball marinara in Aigburgh.

31 Jan 2026 11:45:21
Never heard of Dumfries…. is he any good?

31 Jan 2026 12:16:58
I would love to see Dumfries playing for us!
He is a very good player and i will never forget last years CL semis against Barca. He had 2 goals and 3 assists in those 2 matches and was easily the best player on the pitch!

31 Jan 2026 12:54:20
I love the idea of Edwards engaging in a bit of Wagatha Christie to smoke the mole out. Bring Coleen in as a consultant - she'll crack the case straight away.

31 Jan 2026 12:58:57
Quiet Earp, he's nearly 30, just coming back from surgery and won't be available until March. There's literally no point signing him. He also looks very injury prone having missed 14 games last season and 25 this season. Arthur Melo vibes here.

31 Jan 2026 14:12:19
Surprise! Another Dutch signing.

01 Feb 2026 00:50:28
Im still waiting for Simao.

30 Jan 2026 23:41:04
An enquiry happened and that's as far as it went. Jones remains commited to the club.

The falling out rumours are just that, rumour as well.

31 Jan 2026 02:48:32
That is excellent news, mate. 👍.

31 Jan 2026 04:27:14
It was his bday yesterday and he was in Training and slot wished him and the team clapped and slit joked he is now 25 and one of the big boys.

There is a video proof of that. This indy kaila dude is just over the top.

31 Jan 2026 05:07:02
I'd expect lots of rumours leading up to deadline day. Well we usually do lol but more so than usual as journos and those random fan pages on social media try to monetize Liverpool fans desperation for transfer news.

31 Jan 2026 07:35:02
Thanks the fields, makes complete sense.

31 Jan 2026 08:45:20
Hi TheFields,

What was the inquiry about?

31 Jan 2026 08:56:41
If its a Dutch style birthday he has to bring the buns and cakes and sausage rolls for everyone, Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag, Curtis.

31 Jan 2026 13:26:38
Smoking out the mole.

31 Jan 2026 13:48:24
If he was available RRH.

Aye 1jj, a lot of the rumours that are flying about are just balls. If I posted half the stuff I've heard over the past week, you would know that.

31 Jan 2026 14:12:43
Jones worth at least 50mil.

{Ed025's Note - hmmmmm..

31 Jan 2026 18:01:08
50 million for Jones 😆😆😆😆.
