Liverpool FC Rumours

25 Apr 2026 20:24:30
Not ITK, but can read!
Apparently Alonso has agreed to become Liverpool Manager in the summer: Don't shoot the messenger!

25 Apr 2026 22:00:15
Love a bit of MSN News! 👍🏻 Let's hope they're right, eh.

25 Apr 2026 22:06:24
Let's hope they're wrong - it says Alonso wants to bring Van der Ven and Gordon with him!

25 Apr 2026 22:08:29
Not holding my breath, but I would like it to be true.

25 Apr 2026 23:39:46
I bloody hope so!

26 Apr 2026 00:02:46
Think Carra said it's a no go at the moment, but it may be revisited.

26 Apr 2026 00:56:32
That story's actually from Football365 which is a dogs*** site, they'll publish anything.

26 Apr 2026 09:18:34
Even if Alonso doesn't come, I'd be more than happy with Hoeness if he gets the energy/fitness levels up and gets us playing more aggressively.

We're so much better on the eye and a more imposing threat when we play like that.

26 Apr 2026 10:13:31
Alonso will go to City.

26 Apr 2026 10:53:36
Hurts to say this cos I idolize Alonso, but I get this vibe that we are more into him than he's into us (that kind of a thing), and that sucks.

When Slot was first offered the job, he was willing to jump into whatever fire to get it, and that is where this club belongs.

The manner in which Alonso turned us down last time still hurts, and the attitude right now (admittedly, I know nothing of it) isn't encouraging, if true.

I think Seb Hoeness should be our target, imho.

26 Apr 2026 11:23:41
I don't get why posters think we have this right that coaches should favour us over everyone, and be burnt for life if they don't initially choose us

Alonso played for us for 5 years.
Alonso played for Real Madrid for 5 years.
He actually made more appearances for Madrid.
He is Spanish.
Real Madrid seamlessly have an unlimited budget.

What am I not understanding?

26 Apr 2026 13:11:35
Alonso didn't choose Madrid over us. He wanted to stay at Leverkusen another season, as he had just won the league with them in the 23/24 season, so we went with Slot.

Then Ancelotti left Madrid at the end of the 24/25 season, so Alonso went to Madrid.

We had just won the league, so why would we have changed.

I don't see the "how dare he choose Madrid" narrative going on.

26 Apr 2026 13:47:45
Sa, my point exactly.

26 Apr 2026 14:15:31
Sorry, Lfc1312, wasn't trying to repeat what you had said, mate.

26 Apr 2026 15:42:46
Alonso was marking time at Leverkusen, waiting for Ancelotti to leave.
Nothing wrong with that. Most coaches will jump at the opportunity to coach Madrid. He didn't turn us down to join Man.United.

25 Apr 2026 18:09:50
Were FSG in attendance today?

Any reason other than to watch us play.... Could it be more interesting, like sorting out contracts and meeting the new guy?!
(Fingers crossed)

Thought they would do the Chelsea game and last home game of season....

26 Apr 2026 04:18:57
1 + 1 = 5.

26 Apr 2026 06:00:35
Anyone notice the smug laughter from the directors box during the supporters protest?

26 Apr 2026 23:43:52
Perhaps somebody in the box said something that was funny?

25 Apr 2026 07:48:44
Sascha Britschgi (Parma - Right Back)

Liverpool have had scouts watching him at a good few games this season.

They have a relationship with Parma via Leoni.

No idea of any fee or if the interest is serious enough to warrant an offer, but he's 6ft - and at 19, can only get better.

Merci.

25 Apr 2026 09:28:30.
Ylfp 2. He looks good on little clips I could find.

Still have high hopes too for YLFP 1.

I like the look of the kid, and I'd be very ok with this one. Looks strong too for a 19 year old.

25 Apr 2026 11:50:25
I know football isn't played on paper (or on the interweb), but this lad is shown as Parma's 17th best player on WhoScored and as a midfielder. Has played four games at RB this season.

25 Apr 2026 12:14:52
A CM who plays RB...he'll be perfect for Slot.

26 Apr 2026 10:14:42
How do we have a relationship with Parma? Because we bought a player from them?

26 Apr 2026 23:28:34
Midfielder playing fullback? Perfect for Pep Guardiola more like it.

24 Apr 2026 21:35:31
Liverpool source states that a mutual agreement for Arne Slot's departure is still on the table.

Arne Slot believes that without a new contract, he will lose authority.

24 Apr 2026 21:51:33
We should respect his authoritaaaarrr.

24 Apr 2026 22:11:40
Time will tell, only another few weeks to get through and let's see what happens and what the future holds.

24 Apr 2026 22:18:52
That's posted by Indy....

24 Apr 2026 22:38:21
Liverpool sources. 😆 Awl Indy.

24 Apr 2026 22:55:37
@Raceylfc
Indykaila is an incel who works at KFC in Leicester (hence why loads of people replying to him on X make KFC jokes). Whenever he gets something 'right' it's cause he's copied it from other places, quite often here!

25 Apr 2026 05:50:30
There is a 50% chance Slot will leave, but a 100% chance the prediction is correct!

25 Apr 2026 09:36:09
Worry here for me is that the head coach - despite him not doing well this season - appears to believe there is a lack of authority to the position.

Meaning, Edwards and Hughes are running the football side of the club.

If that is the message that is going to potential new managers, we will end up with a second rate choice who is willing to answer to 2 individuals with no clue of how to build a successful squad and first team.

25 Apr 2026 13:07:44
Tomato source or Mustard source?
Maybe even HP source????

25 Apr 2026 14:53:07
Indy is not one person anymore. He has professional journos on his payroll now, given the size of engagement he has accumulated over the years. There was an article/interview with him a few months ago.

An impressive decade-long dedication to spoofing. Much like Fabrizio.

24 Apr 2026 14:17:38
Paul Joyce has claimed we are seriously interested in Inter right back, Denzel Dumfries. He will be available for just 25 million euros due to a release clause in his contract. That's a good price for a very good right back, but he is 30 years old.

24 Apr 2026 14:36:20
Hughes M.O "buy out clause" so probably got legs.

24 Apr 2026 14:36:45
Good price and fine player. Just seems out of character for FSG to sign a 30-year-old, although wouldn't be their first.
I'd be waiting for Spuds to get relegated and go Gray or Porro. I also like Kayode a lot. Maybe we are saving the funds to replenish the wings.

24 Apr 2026 14:44:30
Porro cannot defend.

Kayode is good, but would be 3 times the price of Dumfries. Denzel offers experience and quality for a low fee and has 3-5 good years in him.

24 Apr 2026 14:57:42
SirBobby, I'd guess that may be the club's thought process. We need to heavily invest in the wide attacking areas and in a top midfielder, so signing a right back because Bradley is injured will need to be sensible. We can't commit massive amounts of the transfer budget to a position where we already have 2 players.

I know people will say it's not our usual way, but when an opportunity arises, we do tend to take it.

Lambert, Toure, Milner, Klavan, Adrian, Thiago, Endo and Chiesa all spring to mind as cheaper and older market opportunities in FSG's tenure. Varying levels of success for sure, but with Dumfries it does feel like he's built for the Premier League. He's a big unit with a deceptive turn of pace. Other than Lambert, I'd say all of the above played their part in some good moments for our club.

24 Apr 2026 14:59:40
Makes sense. Assess Bradley without rushing him back.

Age profile adds some xp, to fill in and compete.

24 Apr 2026 15:03:51
Fully agree MK, I don't know if Denzel offers leadership/voice but we are crying out for some players willing to do the hard yards and the dirty work.

Not many in our squad you would want in the trenches.

24 Apr 2026 15:13:28
I think it makes sense. Get someone experienced to give Bradley and Frimpong time to recover properly and build up. Then hand over and be backup in a year or 2 as Dumfries gets older.

24 Apr 2026 15:17:59
I don't think that trying to become the Dutch national team is a recipe for success.

24 Apr 2026 15:18:13
Just sign the entire Dutch team to compliment Slot and his pedestrian approach to football...

24 Apr 2026 15:29:19
Wouldn't surprise me if we signed Memphis Depay and played him at CDM for 350k a week. Well, it would, but these are odd times.

24 Apr 2026 15:32:09
Let us not let current issues blight an entire nation of players.

We have had success with Dutch players in our side many times.

24 Apr 2026 16:21:15
Isn't Inter interested in Jones? Could be a swap or Dumfries plus cash for Jones.

{Ed001's Note - haven't we already got enough injury prone right-backs?}

24 Apr 2026 16:27:40
25 mill for a guy that played about 17 games, just turned 30!! Liverpool would be nailed on mugs to do that.
You could get
1. Arnau Martinez for max 12-15m, can also play centre back.

2. Ivan Fresneda for roughly 12m.

3. I think Vanderson for Monaco would be a decent shout.


And maybe Dedic for Benfica. Either way, Liverpool need someone that can play 3 games in a row without needing intensive care because it's ridiculous - just someone steady and consistently available, id say is far more important for that back line.

24 Apr 2026 16:39:34
Have to agree with Postklopp.

One of the biggest issues we've had on the right-hand side this season, in my opinion, is the constant rotation.

Due to injuries and availability, we have been flip-flopping between Bradley, Frimpong, Gomez, and Dom.

This has been a massive problem.

It causes disruption in the back four, and I don't think it has helped Salah's form either.

My preference would be to sign someone (if we do sign a right back) whose fitness can be relied upon to give us some stability as a starting point.

24 Apr 2026 16:43:28
Tbh,
The more I think about it, the more I like it.
Could do a lot better.
However, for the reported 22million pounds, he has big experience at club level (multiple finals) and also internationally (World Cup, Euros).
I'm not sure he's a leader as per se. But we do need 1 or 2 older guys that have seen it all and done it all before. Who won't buckle in pressure moments.
He's also 6'2".

Physical specimen. Great engine. That power and pace is what we've lacked this year big time.
He's got 3 good years in him. Only just turned 30 last week.


It allows us to spend elsewhere most importantly, a good bargain to bring in another body in an area that needs reinforcements. The injuries are a concern, but he had ankle surgery so hopefully that's the ankle injury taken care of.

24 Apr 2026 17:16:31
The club just needs to sign a proper right back. One in his mid twenties-ish, who is proven, is reliable, is able to defend and doesn't have constant injury problems. Whatever that costs and whomever that is, is the one to purchase. It's not rocket science, it's what we need.

24 Apr 2026 17:46:45
Dumphries is too old and he's been injury prone over the last two seasons with this season being particularly poor. Would be a rubbish bit of business. As if being linked to Randal Kolo Muani wasn't bad enough.

24 Apr 2026 18:03:37
Picard would say, " Make it so".

24 Apr 2026 18:16:24
This reminds me of when Man City went after Maicon, who was another attacking full back at Inter (ironically), and similarly around the age of 30. Apparently, to all and sundry, he was the best around, but as soon as he got on the pitch in England, he couldn't handle the pace of the league and was getting pelters every week.

That's what we'd get with an over the hill full back from Serie A. Don't make it so. Leave well alone.

24 Apr 2026 18:48:06
Being 30 doesn't bother me. Being injury prone is the worry.

Ability wise, I think Dumfries is a good player.

I wouldn't do it simply because of injuries.

24 Apr 2026 19:51:54
Awful idea. Injury prone. Not what we need given what we already have at our disposal.

I suspect Joyce is only mentioning it because we asked in January when Curtis was linked to go the other way.

A nothing burger, imo.

24 Apr 2026 20:59:24
I'd be going for Oscar Mingueza on a free, can play across the backline in a Joe Gomez type role.

24 Apr 2026 22:40:02
If I was gonna sign a Dutch rb who's recently had injuries it would be Read.

24 Apr 2026 22:55:35
Kayode or Fresneda, both forward thinking and decent defensively. Anyone else isn't worth looking at. Dumfries is a crab.

24 Apr 2026 23:43:04
Few bob for them two, Jerry. Just makes Bradley's injuries all the more frustrating. Not top class every week, but has had enough special performances to know that there could be a top player there.

25 Apr 2026 06:45:30
Fresneda 12m?

25 Apr 2026 07:51:27
Hardly "a few bob". That's Robbo value, and Ivan Fresneda is a Spanish U21.

24 Apr 2026 14:01:18
Reports suggest Ajax have made contact with Arne Slott to take over in the summer.

Jordi Cryuff has him as primary target for the job.

Ajax's current DOF also worked with Slott at Alkmaar and wants him.

24 Apr 2026 14:18:43
Jesus Sir Bobby, I am so unsure. What should we do? How can we afford to get rid of him as a manager, I mean, he spends more time in Holland than Liverpool. He is standing out as a top drawer manager, has his players willing to pick up his bags from Manchester airport on his return, as they haven't been able to sleep with him away from the training ground.

24 Apr 2026 14:53:14
I know, right, Bazza.

24 Apr 2026 16:22:23
As I said before, it could be a well we wanted Slot to stay, but are happy to let him go. A mutual agreement.

24 Apr 2026 16:54:05
Dumfries, I hope, is a joke, I'd do as good and I'm free.

{Ed025's Note - i will wait for Victor,s assessment of him.. :)

24 Apr 2026 19:52:48
Match made in heaven. He gets to move home and spend more time with his family and we can move on.

24 Apr 2026 18:20:18
Ed25, and it was his usual Gold 👍👍 🤣🤣

25 Apr 2026 08:50:02
How is the current squad balance when it comes to Homegrown etc... Are the club looking at the numbers, and do we need to prioritise homegrown players over foreign imports? Losing Kelleher, Morton, Trent, Quansah, Elliott, Robbo(?), possibly Curtis... Seems to me that we are pretty thin on the homegrown registration?

26 Apr 2026 12:56:05
Wouldn't that just be the best result possible. Get a release fee for him and be done with him. With any luck he'd take his beloved son Gakpo with him as his marquee signing. 🤞

23 Apr 2026 20:11:18
Hi Diddly Ho,

Would just like to remind the news that I shared back in September that Guardiola is going to step down at the end of the season.

Nothing has changed as far as I’m aware.



Not sure of any candidates to replace him but when I got told about it in September, Maresca was a serious candidate - even whilst at Chelsea.

Sadly no Liverpool updates recently, sorry.

Diddly out.

23 Apr 2026 20:59:01
Yeah I think Maresca is lined up for that role

23 Apr 2026 21:00:34
Thank you Ned
Very much appreciated

23 Apr 2026 21:19:19
Thanks Ned, maybe we could do a maybe swap Slot for Guardiola 🤣

23 Apr 2026 21:20:29
Well I hope so because that's an almighty drop off. He was terrible at Chelsea with the same budget

23 Apr 2026 21:50:09
Surely Kompany is in the frame

23 Apr 2026 21:54:24
Absolutely no chance City are going from Pep to Maresca!

23 Apr 2026 22:12:50
Thats the end of the line for Pep Ljinders also?

Oh Please "NO", it cannot be can it?

What a pairing for next season "Clot and Intensity"

24 Apr 2026 03:21:44
Just so long as Iraola doesn't go to Citeh or Chelsea with their apparent spending power or to Everton, as he will get a good tune out of an improving violin, I'll be happy.

24 Apr 2026 06:05:53
So a league winning manager last season and a likely league winning assistant manager this season. Sign me up.

24 Apr 2026 06:23:50
I hope Maresca does succeed Pep. I think it's reasonably well proved that when these great managers leave it's very difficult for the club to maintain the same momentum. I don't rate Maresca that much to be honest but again, with a lack of "big name' coaches you are having to take a chance on someone else.

Interesting times ahead in the PL. It might just suit Arteta and the Gunners.

24 Apr 2026 06:46:38
Pep G. to manage Italy? 🤔
La Gazzetta dello Sport all over the story today.
Gossipy queens that they are.
(Sorry, LFC unrelated).

24 Apr 2026 08:24:24
I see - Iraola >>> Real, Klopp >> Germany, Pep >>> Italy, Kompany >>> City, Alonso >>> Bayern, Slot >>> MCR airport twice weekly

24 Apr 2026 09:09:46
Only twice weekly SSSS?

24 Apr 2026 09:38:16
Can see Kompany to City, but he could be wise to stay at Munich until all the charges are sorted (so maybe 5-10 years). In terms of Liverpool, does anyone know if we are making progress on the lad from Red Bull? Papers are saying we have held talks, but the price seems ridiculous.

24 Apr 2026 12:45:41
He is very in demand so we will have to offer the best part of 90-100m euros I guess

24 Apr 2026 11:41:13
How about this scenario. Slot comes back, Liverpool have a slow start, Slot is sacked in October and Pep is brought in as the next manager.

24 Apr 2026 14:45:42
It won't be Iraola. He is not staying in England.

24 Apr 2026 15:19:48
And don't forget the next 450m spent on players that Slot wants, Stone...

24 Apr 2026 22:57:58
Don't see Pep stepping down, makes no sense. He will see out one last season to best Fergie's title record before he leaves. Not an ITK or pretend ITK, just my opinion, so punches of salt.

23 Apr 2026 19:02:30.
I'm not getting involved in the managerial news, other than saying Hoeness was on the original shortlist to replace Klopp.

This is more about confirmation on CJ potentially leaving. It has nothing to do with money, more about game time. The club have indicated they want him to stay. He feels he should be starting a lot more, he knows he would be elsewhere.

Absolute torn by the decision because of his love for the club. Villa are very interested as are a couple of teams from Italy.

Juve are also reluctant to pay what we want for Alisson, unless he indicates he wants to leave. He hasn't as of yet.

23 Apr 2026 19:57:09
Don't blame you not getting involved, it's a bit messed up now!
Thanks for your input and info, hopefully CJ stays but hey, who knows!
Thanks again. 👏👏

23 Apr 2026 20:00:39
Jones isn't anywhere near good enough to be starting. Just a cold hard fact.

23 Apr 2026 20:22:42
I think he suited more to the Italian league or Li Liga than the prem.

23 Apr 2026 20:26:21
Sorry, I love a homegrown player but he isn't good enough for a regular start unless he goes mid table

23 Apr 2026 20:38:37
After the way Villa treated Harvey I wouldn't give them eff all.

23 Apr 2026 20:40:37
I like jones, but also on the same breath he's bang average. If he wants to stay and be a bench warmer great, if he wants to leave to progress, great. Not fussed either way.
Thanks for info fields.

23 Apr 2026 20:49:22
After the way they've messed Elliot about, I think Curtis should stay clear of Villa. Clearly whoever is signing their players isn't aligned with their own manager so can't trust any ideas of getting more game time

23 Apr 2026 21:06:17
Blinkered opinion
That guy goes on to another premiership team and excels
Host of posters will say he shouldn't of been sold
I'm of the belief Harvey Elliott shouldn't have been sporadically used throughout his Liverpool career.
Genuinely feel CJ and Elliott can be our push on

23 Apr 2026 21:20:44
Gazza, Jones is 25, not some kid, he hasn't ever kicked on. He's not going to suddenly develop into a top class midfielder. This is as good as he'll ever be. And that's mediocre.

23 Apr 2026 21:26:07
Comparing Elliots situation with Jones possibly going there is like comparing eggs with bacon. Elliot is on loan and they didn't want to pay, so didn't play him in the league because of it. Jones would be moving permanently.

Both Milan clubs have shown interest, as well as Napoli. Not bad teams for "mid table" player at best eh lads 🙄😂.

Gazza, I fully agree mate. Both are talented players with their prime still to come, they have plenty of room for growth.

23 Apr 2026 21:36:12
Id take Elliot back and let Jones go. I've always backed him, but he's never really lived up to the potential shown. Looked great in short spells and when given a run off games but always got injured and takes ages to get back there.
If we get a decent offer, I'd let him go.

{Ed025's Note - i would ditch both of them personally Westwood..

23 Apr 2026 22:03:41
Same Ed25. Slot gets hammered and rightly so. Then the rose tinted spectacles come out and players who really aren't of the quality or physicality to wear the shirt are somehow our midfield solution. Madness

24 Apr 2026 01:01:34
Jones is a squad player but never a starter for me. As it stands now, I'd have him as fourth choice midfielder behind Grav, Szob, and Wirtz. Still, I don't think he is as bad as some posters make him out to be.

People talk about him as if he is some kind of Sunday-league level player who's just lucky to play for Liverpool because he is a local lad.

24 Apr 2026 04:26:30
It's still one - nil though isn't it? Everybody on the board has a solution but if you add together everyone who uses this board Slot, in only one full season, has one more PL title that us all put together.

24 Apr 2026 08:45:17
Is jones the new linguard we always be a young player with potential? He's not good enough end of, just because he has a L postcode doesn't mean he has to stay

24 Apr 2026 09:38:08
Can someone tell me what is your benchmark of a midfielder as most are slamming Jones?
Not every player is a top player. We need squad depth too. Jones can play various positions and that's a good player. We don't need a squad of superheroes but a squad of players happy to be here and play for the team.

If superstars were making teams good, then look at the list of players PSG let go and now they are far better. Messi, Neymar, Mbappe all of them gone.
A squad of mixed talent if better and Jones is a good example.
Thanks

24 Apr 2026 11:07:07
Curtis, if fit, should be a genuine starter in the domestic cup matches and a squad choice for league and possibly CL matches

24 Apr 2026 11:34:01
I hope Jones stays. We're not going to have a team full of prime age Stevie Gs to be considered for the squad

24 Apr 2026 13:31:18
Fields, nice input, but the Italian league is not what it was. Don't take it so personally, he simply isn't good enough to be starting (with that said, neither is Macca). That's just a fact. Inter and Napoli have been Italy's best sides for years, but not near the level for the Champs League, hence Inter getting humiliated in the final.

If this was back before Juve's 10 years of dominance, you might have a point, but Serie A is severely lacking in talent and funds.

24 Apr 2026 14:04:23
Isn't it a bit of an oxymoron to say Inter aren't good enough for the Champions League, because they lost in the final? 🤣

24 Apr 2026 15:16:29
Not really, better sides got knocked out by the champions earlier on? e.g. Arsenal, Liverpool, Villa, all by the winners PSG. That side of the draw also had both Madrids and Man City. Just like when England got the luck of the draw in the World Cup 2018. Again, hence why Inter were extremely lucky. PSG went down to 3rd gear, it should have been 10-0.

25 Apr 2026 06:02:47
Both should be sold unless happy to be squad players. Nowhere near good enough to improve the team consistently as first team players.

23 Apr 2026 18:11:11
Hi all,

Sorry about the constant different posts. Getting a lot of info lately so passing more on than usual.

The club are looking at bringing in Rafael Leao. Player is open to the switch. I believe he is being looked at as a potential Gakpo replacement, should the Dutchman leave.

23 Apr 2026 18:42:16
Victor. Any info is appreciated mate
Keep posting bud

23 Apr 2026 18:46:52
Whenever I've watched him, he hasn't been great!

23 Apr 2026 18:48:05
Overhyped. Rather Gakpo. Thanks for update VG

23 Apr 2026 18:51:29
If the price is right he would be the ideal squad rotation option and wouldn't block the pathway for Rio.

Ken

23 Apr 2026 18:53:02
Did read he was available for €40-50m

23 Apr 2026 18:56:02
Love all of the updates VG. Keep them coming!

23 Apr 2026 19:04:07
VG keep um coming buddy we really appreciate it.

VG thx you mind reader

I was just about to ask about this. few occasions I've seen him doesn't feel me with confidence. friend of mine recently went to san siro to watch Milan play and he said he is the biggest strop of a player he has seen in years. constantly throwing arms in the air when doesn't get passed to. doesn't track back. very lazy.often looses the ball.

Gakpo had a stinker of a season like nearly all the team. so think I would rather keep him out of the 2 to see if he can recapturea bit of form.

HOPEFULLY with a new man at the helm.

I'd have him over Gakpo like but still not hugely convinced u less it's a good price.

Cheers Victor. I had heard his name mentioned as a potential addition, versatile forward who would offer some desperately needed pace, especially if Diomande is the other. Just a worry how much our pressing from the front/attackers dropped statistically this season from last season and Leao doesn't really fit that mould of a Salah, Firmino, Mane from years gone by

Diomande works hard off the ball Alex, he's not shy of putting in work.

Not a fan of either Gakpo or Leao tbh.

Much rather have Bradley Barcola
Belter of a player who will get better too, young, versatile, 12 goals and 9 assists this season and without being a regular starter for PSG.
Open minded about a move too from what I have read.
Barcola and Diomande would light up our attacking options.

Never seen him have a good game tbh but haven't seen that much, massively hyped, flatters to deceive

Leao is a phenomenal player in my opinion. I think people are underestimating him. At Milan he is pretty much their only threat so teams can double up or even triple up on him. If we had Leao, Isak and Diomande as a front 3, they're all equally dangerous so teams would be all over the place trying to deal with so much pace and power. Every time I've watched Leao, he's absolutely rinsed whatever full back he's been up against.

Don't sleep on him. At 26, he's also a very similar age and profile to when we signed Salah and Mane. He could really kicked on and become a mainstay in our side for the next 4-5 years, by which time Rio will be 22 years old and ready to play twice a week (hopefully).

I saw this on a story couple of days ago on one of the random football pages I follow on facebook
Wonder if that's a page you run Viktor :)
