Liverpool rumours 5

02 Feb 2026 11:48:37
Can anyone explain why we walked away from the Geertruida deal? He was Slots captain wasn't he? Plays RB, CB and DM all three positions need filling. Prem proven, £20m deal option if same as Sunderland. Seemed an absolute no brainer. Have I missed something?

02 Feb 2026 12:02:06
Yes. That Sunderland refused to cut his loan!

02 Feb 2026 12:07:46
Sunderland said no.

02 Feb 2026 12:16:04
Think it's because we got Jacquet …. FSG looking long term and taking a gamble on getting through to the end of the season?

I am pretty happy with the signings that have been made in 2025 and future looks bright…, the hiccup is in my view due to Slot and his training staff…. His tactics in first season looked fine but he has not progressed in a positive way and has stumbled when facing teams that have gone physical with concentration on set plays…. we will get through this but we really want to finish top 5 to guarantee Champions League otherwise we will see downturn in finances.
Think a change of coach is inevitable as Slot man management has been found wanting…. Xabi Alonso looks to be a better fit for LFC…. He gets the club and the supporters…. It's not guaranteed to be a success but it's the best bet for a Klopp style of play next season.

02 Feb 2026 12:24:59
I did wonder, given it was reported that RBL would have to pay Sunderland £5m to end the loan early, whether we would offer the £23m as a straight sale to RBL and pay the £5m on top - still a decent option at £28m.

02 Feb 2026 12:49:20
Oh ok, thanks. Most places that was reporting this said Sunderland happy and wouldn't stand in his way. Fair enough if they changed their mind. Shame can't push it as he seems ideal.

02 Feb 2026 12:54:43
Well Calvin Ramsey is now being linked to going out on loan surly that means a right back might be coming in?

02 Feb 2026 12:55:47
I would say that is a very acceptable fee to get the deal over the line for a player that knows slots football system.
Begs the question why it was left so late to make the move and why are we not willing to pay that bit extra to seal the deal.


If we don't make top five at the end of the season we will lose a lot more champions league money than five million.

02 Feb 2026 13:04:52
If Sunderland don't want to do a deal or the terms would be not be favourable then that'll be why it didn't happen, whereas I think we did drop a bollock with Guehi and Semenyo, we nailed it with Jacquet, and credit to the lad too for not wanting to become another chattel for Chelsea to chuck away when there's a new flavour of the month.

02 Feb 2026 13:16:01
Is the fact that Xabi played for us the only reason he looks to be a better fit? Genuine question. Like HOW does he get the fans, because we liked him and he said the generic complimentary things EVERY footballer says during his time here? Torres said them same things, more so even and look how that turned out? Alonso would not be coming here because of his love for the club he would be coming here because we are at the absolute top of the game at the minute.

If we were in the situation we were in when Jurgen took the job i don't think he'd give us a 2nd look, and that's not a criticism it just shows how big of an absolute legend jurgen was. And this is from someone who loves Alonso, just my honest feeling. I think a lot of fans oversell the relationship between him and the club.

02 Feb 2026 13:58:02
Ramsay going out on loan could just be because every other defender isn't available and Slot still won't play him!

However, would it be too cute for us to loan Ramsay to Sunderland to make Geertruida happen?

02 Feb 2026 14:03:31
I'm holding out hope that there is a fresh twist in this saga.

02 Feb 2026 14:53:15
To be fair Florian, he has always referred to himself as a Liverpool fan, continued to say how much he loved the team even after joining Madrid, celebrated Liverpool scoring and winning games in his short spell as a pundit, and has come back to Anfield multiple times, that's not something that Torres has done.

02 Feb 2026 14:39:47
Is there anyway that we could get him in the summer.

02 Feb 2026 14:46:58
How could a player who was not even capable of nailing down a spot in the starting 11 for Sunderland be a good acquisition for LFC?
All dutch coaches basically do is buying dutch players or players from the only league they seem to know, the German Bundesliga.


We must get rid of Slot asap.
We need a real coach and a staff with knowledge beyond the dutch and the german leagues.

02 Feb 2026 15:24:21
Utter xenophobic nonsense, Earp.
Why am I reading so much anti Dutch sentiment on this website recently?
How is it even getting posted?
I don't want to appear 'woke', but some of you should get out more, maybe read a book every now and again, speak to the odd human; that kind of thing.

02 Feb 2026 15:35:02
Im sure the Sunderland manager would think the same as Slot, that he already has better options Zedd.

02 Feb 2026 16:21:12
Why do people think Ramsay is such a good player, I don't think he's done much on loan whenever we sent him out, and has never shown much with us either. Genuine question.

02 Feb 2026 16:34:33
All of that on a day we bought a French centre back, from France. Although we are being linked with three other Dutch players this afternoon. lazy journalism perhaps.

02 Feb 2026 18:29:32
Quiet Earp

Under Slot (who doesn't decide which players we buy) we've bought one Dutch player. In Klopp's time, we bought 5. What's your point here? Klopp didn't buy a single German. Last time I checked, the Dutch are not terrible at footie.

02 Feb 2026 20:30:27
Quiet must be thinking of Ten Hag, must bring back sad memories.

02 Feb 2026 07:30:34
Kees Smit being linked for a late deal this window. Don't know the player but think he may have been mentions as a talent to watch out for by someone on the forum.

02 Feb 2026 08:54:48
I'm pretty sure the world and his mother are after Kees Smit. Would be a very difficult deal to pull off, and that is before considering the transfer deadline ends tonight, at 7pm. Having said that, would love to finally beat Real Madrid to a signing for a change.

The player must be exceptional if every big team in the world has tried to get him. Hopefully we come out on top and he excels, or he don't and becomes a flop. Either way, hectic end to the window.

02 Feb 2026 09:07:52
Got his future stars on fifa looks decent.

02 Feb 2026 09:22:02
We just need to sign someone called "wallet" now and we have all the things I check on a morning before work:

Keys
Jacket
Wallet.

02 Feb 2026 09:34:43
How reliable is the source?

02 Feb 2026 10:33:24
What I've seen it's here would be allowed to leave but this isn't a rumour.

02 Feb 2026 10:34:33
JJ was seen as a superior option to MG for various reasons.

Buying up the best young players around is a good strategy, provided we pick up the odd VVD/ Ali when possible.

02 Feb 2026 10:38:37
FSW, the source is DaveOCKOP, so not terribly reliable so let's wait and see.

Ron, we also need to add Spectacles and Testicles to that list to complete your checking process before leaving for work.

02 Feb 2026 11:21:48
Isn't Kees Smit another attacking mid where we are very well stocked?

02 Feb 2026 10:54:16
I've not seen anything of Smit apart from what I've just looked at on YouTube. But from that small sample he looks quality but is he what we need for our midfield.
It's great having all these gifted ball playing midfielders but you do need to earn the right to play and our midfield is wide open.


I would love a Henderson type midfielder in there at the minute would improve us no end.

02 Feb 2026 10:58:01
If I had the choice of any midfielder I would love bruno guimaraes in there think he would transform us.

{Ed025's Note - great player Grino...and just what you need imo mate..

02 Feb 2026 11:43:27
Think he gets in every team in the league ed025.

{Ed025's Note - really Grino?, hes a good player of course but maybe you are slightly over-egging him a bit there i would say mate..

02 Feb 2026 11:49:15
He's more of an around type. Has been compared to Pedri on the ball. Some of the best managers around like flick or enrique don't play with what we'd class as a destroyer. i've no issue filling the midfield with ballers and trusting them to use their heads.

02 Feb 2026 13:10:14
Ed025 who's midfield do you think bruno guimaraes does not get in then Ed?

{Ed025's Note - i cant think of one Grino, im a massive fan mate..

02 Feb 2026 13:13:48
Flick and enrique don't manage in the premier league though Florian it's totally different to Spain France Germany and Italy lots of bang average players have gone from here and looked world beaters in them leagues.

02 Feb 2026 13:48:37
Ron, Maybe we should sign Ciro Immobile (phone) to go with Kees and Jacquet…?

02 Feb 2026 14:06:43
Wont get in Everton's ahh Edd25 🤔🤣.

{Ed025's Note - its affordability with us Chrisy, he wont be coming to Everton any time soon mate..

02 Feb 2026 15:21:33
If we're looking at young midfielders De Cat would be my choice, defensively minded, only 17 but physically developed already for a lad his age.

02 Feb 2026 15:39:04
How many Premier League teams did PSG beat on their way to the champions league last year Grino? Pretty much all the best sides we have to offer. Barca have beaten Newcastle etc.

01 Feb 2026 22:40:50
Jeremy Jacquet to LFC deal agreed for Summer 2026 - Paul Joyce.

01 Feb 2026 22:47:34
Sky reporting he is signing now and being loaned back until the end of the season.

01 Feb 2026 23:06:01
FSG OUT

Oh wait.

01 Feb 2026 23:08:57
Looks to be one of the strongest young CB's out there, and we gazumped CFC.

Bastoni and a new, rugged RB next and we are good to go.

01 Feb 2026 23:11:37
If this is correct it will avoid another farce like Guehi. Furthermore, maybe the club will think it will passify the fans for not signing anyone else as cover or permanently in this window. Liverpool fans are not that naive FSG, you have still put our season at risk.

01 Feb 2026 23:35:40
Hughes incompetent again!

02 Feb 2026 00:02:47
Looks like Man U tried to hijack the deal but were unsuccessful.
I suppose because we had Coates and now have a Jacquet, they wanted to follow on from Paul Parka. Maybe we just had deeper pockets?

02 Feb 2026 00:45:41
I will say, we seem to be doing well in securing CB talent for the long term. Leoni is already in and I expect big things from him when he's back. Jacquet appears to be highly rated. I think Ndukwu could be a real talent. And the 2 other youngsters in Ndiaye and Adoka seem like shrewd signings as well.

It would be great to see the club work really hard to convince Bastoni to leave Italy to compliment lots of young talent at the position.

02 Feb 2026 01:43:08
Ndukwu hasn't signed yet maybe one for the summer.

02 Feb 2026 05:17:52
@KP, according to the official Liverpool FC website, we have agreed a deal with the player and Austria Vienna subject to international clearance so to all intents and purposes he is our - due to join in the summer and going into the U-21s.

On a different note we now have VVD, Gomez, Leoni, Nallo, Wellity, Jacquet, Ndiaye, Adoka and Ndukwu and the summer window is still just a mirage on the horizon. I haven't counted Konate as he hasn't re-signed a contract. Him notwithstanding we have nine CBs, even without Bastoni and Gertruida and the German lad whose name I can't spell but starts something like Schlotter-something.

We can all sing:

'Too many CBs, we've got too many CBs
Too many CBs we've just got too many CBs'.

02 Feb 2026 05:20:14
Another thought, will Jacquet's nickname be Kenny?

02 Feb 2026 05:39:13
It's good that Jacquet is cool with playing in Conf League next season. 😅.

02 Feb 2026 07:18:42
Which one's are the first 11 replacements for VVD and Konate?

02 Feb 2026 07:24:47
Good bit of business, very highly rated. We beat off quite a bit of competition to get him. Well done RH.

{Ed001's Note - we beat Chelsea to get him, no one else would go near the price being asked. Chelsea can't even get their own players to want to come back from loan periods, hardly a difficult sell to get someone to choose us over them! A team where you will be rotated constantly, no matter what position you play or how well you perform. Or he can join us, desperate for a centre-back and if he does well he gets a place and keeps it. You would have to be an utter moron to be unable to get a player to choose us over them right now. That could change if Rosenior turns out to be good and builds a settled side, but players do not like to be rotated for the sake of it like happens there right now.}

02 Feb 2026 07:42:13
Thanks west derby didn't realise it was on the official site. Looks like CB is covered. Now to get a lb to replace Robbo/ Tsimikas and a fit RB.

02 Feb 2026 08:35:15
Man United were in the mix for him, Real Madrid, Chelsea. Chelsea were emerging as the clear favourite to get him, as they did with others like Caicedo over recent years so it's nice the tide is turning away from them.

It's not to say they would have paid the asking price, but most of the big teams pay as much if not more than we do in salaries and bonuses. He's a very high profile and sought after player, and we've done well to get him surely.

02 Feb 2026 08:50:18
All good @KP.

I'm old school and want a DM. I don't think we've ever replaced Fabs.

02 Feb 2026 09:01:17
And a combative midfielder.

02 Feb 2026 09:03:12
Chelsea did offer him a 45 year contract though Ed.

02 Feb 2026 09:05:02
No Something Red, it's Gillet out, Jacquet in.

{Ed025's Note - not many will get that Ron, nice one..

02 Feb 2026 09:39:49
This is a great signing. We will have 2 young, top-quality RCBs in Jacquet and Leoni. Both have experience covering at RB too so that side of the defence looks well covered from next season (and takes the pressure off Leoni coming back from his injury).

Not sure if either are overly comfortable as a LCB so presumably we will still need to find the long-term Virg successor and hopefully we can bring in somebody like Bastoni.

02 Feb 2026 10:08:45
That price is crazy for such a limited CV, Ed1. When you consider Huijsen went to Real for £10m less. Even Yoro was cheaper. Hughes is scaring me more and more with every negotiation he does. It's not how we used to do things. And he isn't even coming in now for that premium price when we are desperately in need for that position.

{Ed001's Note - it is very odd.}

02 Feb 2026 10:54:45
Love your work @Ron 😁.

02 Feb 2026 12:51:56
Seems like we're just looking for problems. Not sure what's wrong with securing a top talent who represents better value in terms of the all round package than others in the market.

Theres risk with every purchase or contract, we found that in the summer with Isak and Mo. Buying or paying for established talent doesn't always guarantee results, and between them we'll be paying over £500k a week and we've hardly had a tune out of either all season.

Probably the last experienced premier league player we bought before then was Macca, who also hasn't been great. It's an inflated and difficult market.

02 Feb 2026 13:23:07
The official LFC website states that Liverpool do not yet consider the signing of Jacquet to be guaranteed yet. Not sure why, but that is clearly stated.

Anyone got any clue why, or is it a case of needing work permits etc.

02 Feb 2026 13:47:21
My initial thoughts on him is he looks lightning quick and can pass well with good feet.

Negatives are he looks weak for a CB and a bit rash.

He is very young so you'd hope he can iron out those two and turn into a fine player indeed.

A lot of money for a CB that still needs polishing.

Think he will struggle initially but could turn out to be very fine business long term. That pace intrigues me in a CB because I believe Liverpool CBs need it and he looks one of the fastest you'd find. I think we paid too much and I think he needs work. But still. Think it will work out long term if he bills up which he should do naturally with age. Him and Leoni could be a very very good long term pair. Hopefully anyway.

02 Feb 2026 14:20:16
Hugo i. e. before Hughes. And it wasn't just Premier League experience. It was experience from the top 5 leagues, ideally with European experience if they were coming from abroad, having play at least 170 games in their career but under the age of 25. That was our transfer criteria before Klopp won the standoff with Edwards and our hit rate was ridiculous. We should never have moved away from it (Thiago, Nunez, Gakpo).

I'm not going to applaud Hughes for throwing stupid money at an inexperienced kid. We're behaving like United under him and it scares me.

02 Feb 2026 15:15:33
You must scare easily! Tbf Manchester United threw stupid money at anything until recently. I quite like both Cunha and Mbeuno as an example of better business they did in the last window.

I agree with the point on how moving away from a template can result in big mistakes like buying injury prone players like Thiago, or players who don't fit a style of play like Nunez. Gakpo is an odd one in the sense I'm not really sure what we saw in him at all, whereas I do with the others.

Richard Hughes I'm not sure about, but I'm hopeful Jacquet will prove to be a very good signing. I'm also hopeful Konate recovers his form and stays, and that VVD steps back up.

02 Feb 2026 21:44:08
Something Red you missed the part where he was loaned back. Happy to write off the season then… thought so.

01 Feb 2026 22:26:31
A here we go from Romano on JJ! Great signing be sweeter if it was for now.

02 Feb 2026 01:18:27
It will be Phil Collin's for now.

02 Feb 2026 08:49:44
No Jacquet Required 😉.

02 Feb 2026 09:53:14
"No Jacquet required", Acered? - Classic!

01 Feb 2026 22:24:35
We just signed Jeremy Jacquet.

02 Feb 2026 00:04:10
I'll get me coat….

01 Feb 2026 22:02:33
We are close to agreeing a £60m deal for Jeremy Jacquet to arrive in the summer.

01 Feb 2026 22:28:30
Confirmed by Romano.

I suppose he's seen as an Ibou replacement by the club?

We don't spend £60m on a 3rd choice centre half.

01 Feb 2026 22:33:50
We need a winter jacket now, not a summer jacket.

{Ed025's Note - i like that FW..

01 Feb 2026 22:35:56
60m plus 10m add ons, personal terms agreed.

01 Feb 2026 23:12:26
Does that mean this season, while not being written off, but being a case of being left to the God's and what will be, will be.

01 Feb 2026 23:46:56
I'll get my Coates (older members will recognise this one)

01 Feb 2026 20:37:57
Eh up Ed's an reds, are we looking at Sallai from gala?

01 Feb 2026 20:41:40
Jeez, to say that would be underwhelming is an understatement.

01 Feb 2026 20:57:52
Isn't he a right winger?

01 Feb 2026 21:13:48
Isn't he rubbish?

01 Feb 2026 21:32:50
Find it funny that Romano has being reporting us trying to get a deal done for JJ for days now and its barely mentioned here. We all know he's signing a 15 year contract at Chelsea.
Although i could see Hugo reaching out hyping up the Anfield lure.

01 Feb 2026 21:53:00
He's also 28. I haven't seen him much to say he's rubbish, Ali Baba.

01 Feb 2026 22:30:21
Scrap that. Deal done for JJ
Isak, Wirtz, Hugo, Kerkez, Frimpong, Leoni and now Jacquet. I don't care what colour tongue Hughes has. These are some proper signings.

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.

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.
