Today is a good day to be an LFC fan, macca, VG, Carra, the fields, square tomato, Ned, and any ITKs I've forgotten (apologise) all contributing. Taken a huge effort to fill the void of ed2 and his sad passing, but I'm happy with the level of ITKs we have that are actually accurate.

Reds,

I went to second echo what VG said.

As a new poster, I said back in June that we walked away from the Diomande deal. I took a fair bit of criticism for it, and to be honest it put me off posting again. But I stuck with it because that’s exactly what my source told me – we’d stepped away as we didn’t want to deal with Roc Nation.



I also said that Barcola would become the main target.

I’m not claiming to know everything, I’m just passing on what I’m told. Football changes quickly and things can always shift, but there’s no need for the hate from certain posters just because my information went against the usual ITKs in Robbo & Carra in June who were convinced Diomande was signing.

Thanks for posting, Grizz. I said the same to VGs post earlier, and I will say it to you. I appreciate your posts, and just remember, bad apples tend to make the most noise, but are always in the minority.

I don't believe I was rude, but I did doubt you early on, as there has been an increase of people imitating the usual itk, so apologies for that. Keep on posting!

Ndiaye, Ndukwe, Nyoni, three star men last night, next signing has to start with an "N" surname? Ndoni, new manager not bad either.

26 Jul 2026 19:59:59
People just need to ignore the haters; they're not worth paying attention to. You're always going to get a few; it comes with the territory.

27 Jul 2026 08:17:04
You have taken a lot more criticism when you make up false accounts to then 'Blow your own trumpet'. now that is a strange thing to do to try and be an 'ITK'. Sorry, stinks of desperation!

27 Jul 2026 13:29:44
I'm sorry, but anyone can come on here and say the opposite of someone else, and when it comes to play, Billy Big Balls. Lots of people do it, not because they are ITK, but because they are pessimistic.



You need tough skin to be an ITK on here, so, in that regard, toughen up, buttercup. So, either get in line with the rest of the other posters or just keep doing what you do and don't worry about the grief.

It seems Nduwe will not be able to secure his WP. So now we have only defenders out if which one has never played in PL and other one is 35 year old probably still top 3 defender in EPL. We will be forced to sign a CB with Leoni still not available.

26 Jul 2026 14:06:00
Apparently Barcola had spoke with Arsenal and seemed convinced, but Iraola spoke with him again and he's now 100% convinced on Liverpool and rejected PSG contract. Things are advancing quick.

I've tried to find out more about Rayan but Liverpool feel Bournemouth asking price is too high.



They are however keen on the versatility on Ferran Torres. Maybe one to keep an eye on.

Mac Allister definitely wants out though.

More positive news today.

DjimiT.

Thanks, DjimiT. Proper rollercoaster this transfer window!

Am I the only one who is more worried about signing a rb? We basically didn't have a rb all last season and still don't have one or really been linked with any. Frimpong just doesn't look good enough and Bradley, as much as I love him, he has two things to prove, 1, that he can stay fit and 2, that he is actually good enough to be our first choice rb.

A rb that can play cb would be good but I feel rb should be one of our main priorities.

26 Jul 2026 18:04:15
It's an absolute necessity in my book. I believe we're working on it in the background, but because of the amount of attention marquee signings get, we won't hear much about it until we sign a winger.

26 Jul 2026 21:06:02
I have asked my contact about our right back situation & he said Kounde is being looked at because of his ability to play both right & cbk, but also don't count out Spence!!... Personally, I think Spence would be ideal playing under AI as his tactics suit his style.

26 Jul 2026 12:49:01
Why are we in this position regarding Joe Gomez? Great lad but should have been sold on.
Why are we letting certain players who aren't first team players decide what they want to do? Jones, Gomez and Macca should have been replaced already with better players.

Also Chiesa as well.
We don't owe anyone anything, especially not squad players going into their last year of their contracts.

26 Jul 2026 13:17:11
Agreed, I'd be willing to give Jones an opportunity to improve under Iraola as he's only a squad player, but I'd ship Macca, Gomez, and Chiesa out in the morning. The problem is, of course, we have other priorities in a hyperinflated market.

26 Jul 2026 13:46:15
Good point, it might be worth Chiesa sticking around. He can be a sub to rest Isak, whose minutes need managing.
Gomez's injury, I am hoping, will force the club's hand to seal the deal for Zabarnyi, which to me is a no brainer, and, in light of Geo still recovering and Jacquet not playing for over five months and not yet ready to fully feature in pre-season matches, is a priority.

26 Jul 2026 14:34:22
The only real explanation can be that we're asking too much for them, Ron, or no one will meet their wage demands.

It's known we've been trying to offload Curtis all season, Chiesa for probably three or four windows, Gomez similar. All that time we've been paying their wages and arguably only Curtis has played enough minutes to warrant it.

I think Curtis is ok, so I'm surprised no one's taken him.

The injury records of the other two explain the lack of takers.

Macca is a bit different in the sense he plays at a high level internationally, so again you'd think a Spanish or Italian club would take him. His slow game would suit those leagues. I'm guessing we want too much for him, as I'm sure clubs there would meet his wage demands.

Four squad places, and we only get any value out of CJ.

Afternoon all

Anyone got any insight into whether Richard Hughes is actually working on transfers for Al Hilal?

Only seen it mentioned once online - but if that is the case, surely the club can’t be happy? And should have acted to get someone in to replace RH sooner?

26 Jul 2026 13:27:01
I know nothing about it, but it would be the epitome of stupidity if it were anything more than rumors, as he's currently under contract; this would be a massive breach of the terms of his employment, and he'd face regulatory sanctions and be liable for financial damage.

If it does turn out to be true, it proves without doubt he was never fit for the role.

26 Jul 2026 11:54:25
I have a theory. It's so far fetched I am scared to write it down.
However the end result is judge Bellingham joins us this summer and the prodigal son returns completing his mission. ?

26 Jul 2026 13:28:12
Any chance of getting your dealer's number? that's some good stuff!
