Angelo Stiller prefers Real Madrid to us and Alonso wants him but they prefer Zubimendi
The next cab off the rank is one of these
Patrick Berg
Hayden Hackney
Morten Frendrup
Nicolo Rovella
Samule Ricci
Felix Nmecha
Frenkie de Jong
Lamine Camara
My pick would be Nmecha or Camara to give us more pace and power in midfield.
1.) 20 May 2025 20:44:26
Hayden Hackney is obviously the most plausible “next cab off the rank”.
2.) 20 May 2025 20:56:01
Thought zubimendi was heading to arsenal?
3.) 20 May 2025 20:56:12
Felix Nmecha is what we are missing in games eg against Newcastle. Power, pace and presence. I also like Nicolo Rovella for his intelligence and adaptability.
4.) 20 May 2025 21:06:28
One hopes he is not a "CAB-astrophe"
5.) 20 May 2025 21:26:18
I'm sure there was a linked midfielder, I think German, recently starting with J but I can't remember the rest of his name!
6.) 20 May 2025 22:16:50
Joshua Kimmich? Too old surely?
7.) 20 May 2025 22:25:53
Nah, Dominic, surname starting with J. We were linked in a few tabloid articles a week or so ago. I'm sure he was German or Dutch but his didn't sound like he was. Wracking my brains!
8.) 20 May 2025 22:39:43
Frenkie de Jong.
9.) 20 May 2025 23:19:19
OK, wasn't German or Dutch - he's Spanish - Mikel Jauregizar! Linked a few days ago.
10.) 20 May 2025 23:21:45
Meant to be a cheaper, younger Zubimendi alternative who can help shoulder Gravenberch's responsibilities. Would be a sensible signing at £25m or so.
11.) 21 May 2025 10:23:57
It doesn't surprise me that Angelo Stiller is of interest to Xabi. However, you would think Real would look at one of Zubimendi or Enzo if they go for a midfielder.
I'd be ok with Stiller coming in, but concerned that we would still lack a physical option in the squad for the rough and tumble PL games.
I have seen links to Reim's Amadou Kone and Monaco's Lamine Camara. Could we pick one of these up at a reasonable price?
12.) 21 May 2025 12:43:59
Is there any truth we are signing Ubermacano?
That’d give the squad a Lyft.
13 May 2025 21:00:41
So apparently if Konate won’t a new contract we’re looking at trying to do a swap with Real Madrid involving Rodrygo
It’s all tied in with a deal to release Trent early for Club World Cup and trying to get them to give us a free run at Huijsen
If Huijsen won’t come to us then we’re looking at
Strahinja Pavlovic
Oumar Solent
Antonio Silva
Ousmane Diomande
Obi Kouame.
1.) 13 May 2025 21:38:25
Really like rodrygo but where do we play him? We have Gakpo/ diaz on left and Mo on the right! Rodrygo can play through the middle but not as a CF or Darwin replacement. Even if we sold Diaz which I don’t believe will happen there is no way we block Gakpo.
2.) 13 May 2025 21:47:55
Well that deal doesn't look like happening, with real making an approach for Huijsen!
3.) 13 May 2025 21:53:46
Excellent rumour! A swap deal involving the early release of TAA + sale of Konate in exchange for Rodrygo and an option to sign Huijsen? What could possibly go wrong? Agents are licking their lips at that.
Seriously tho- play Mo through the middle or in Firmino’s old role and play Rod on the right. Easy.
4.) 13 May 2025 22:34:02
Murillo?
5.) 13 May 2025 23:00:31
It would be terrible to move Konate on and replace him with Huijsen.
As much as I want us to sign Huijsen, it's to add to the squad not to replace one of the starts leaving.
6.) 14 May 2025 00:07:22
If Konate doesn’t want to leave until the end of his contract Liverpool aren’t going to be able to swap him are they? Other than that a nice rumour ?.
7.) 14 May 2025 07:31:24
Surely araujo is worth more of a look than his partner Silva? He looks faster, superb on the ball with long or short passes, can carry the ball out of defence, decent in the air and is used to covering lots of space with benfica's high line, similar age, probably cheaper, can also play right back.
8.) 14 May 2025 08:36:35
If Konate is going to run his contract down, it's time to pop him on the bench. He won't have a chance of playing for France next summer so he might think again.
9.) 14 May 2025 10:13:20
Dow-ney,
I would not play Mo through the middle. Klopp tried it and he looked like a fish out of water.
Mo is an elite right footed left winger, keep him where he’s most effective.
Rodrygo on the other hand, he can play through the middle. Play Rodrygo through the middle and although we’d lack arial presence, he would score buckets of goals. I liken his ability to that of Suarez.
10.) 14 May 2025 10:28:40
@Brommers, why wouldn’t we want to play our best team whenever possible?
08 May 2025 20:10:33
Our current left back scouting list is
Milos Kerkez
Rayan Ait Nouri
Antonee Robinson
Alvaro Carreras
Alejandro Grimaldo
Theo Hernandez
Miguel Gutierrez
Apparently there’s a split between Kerkez and Robinson in the scouting dept and some staff think Carreras is the better option
There’s also a thought that if we do go for Frimpong that we will go for Hincapie or Hato as a left back hybrid instead.
1.) 08 May 2025 20:45:42
Kerkez and Frimpong would be very attack minded but would be fierce in a high press system.
2.) 08 May 2025 20:56:41
Don't understand the Robinson rumours at all. Average player any time I have watched him. Not sold on Kerkez either but at least he has youth on his side.
3.) 08 May 2025 22:26:52
hello Bmena-red, Kerkez will surely be a lot better than Robbo and the Greek are currently and pretty much all season.
Robbo and Greek out 25 million, Kerkez and Hato in 75 million, two potential young top class players in for circa 50 million is pretty good business i would say in todays climate. Hato looks like he could play DM/ CB if needs be also.
4.) 08 May 2025 23:03:46
Deal 007, make it happen. No excuses!
5.) 08 May 2025 23:19:37
Robinson done very well against Salah in our matches against them. I think Salah has said he was very impressed by Robinson.
6.) 08 May 2025 23:29:24
007. Not against those moves at all, but I don't see both coming in unless Hato is seen to be Virgil's successor.
Kerkez may well turn out to be a star signing but I just have my doubts. I would prefer Hato as he appears less one dimensional and offers more versatility. but only my opinion of course.
7.) 09 May 2025 00:15:21
The club will make a move for Hato.
8.) 09 May 2025 05:35:00
7 players are still an option for a position we have need filling tor over 12 months? I know we struggle to make firm decisions but this seems far fetched even by our standards.
9.) 09 May 2025 07:15:14
I really like the look of Hato. Hopefully Grav and VVD can help convince him to join if we make a bid for him.
If you believe the rumours, arsenal and Chelsea are also interested.
Surely on the back of a title win and the fact that he would be able to make the position his own as first choice if he performs would be a more attractive offer than those two clubs?
Arsenal have Calafiori and what seems like another dozen centre back/ fullback hybrids in their squad. Whereas Chelsea are a mess still and might not get CL football next season.
10.) 09 May 2025 07:21:27
Robinson done against Salah but so did Neco Williams ?.
11.) 09 May 2025 07:26:07
@Mark, there are seven potential targets if you chose to believe the OO’s unsubstantiated list of rumours. There’s no reason to believe the contents of the list - this is just a (poorly informed) rumours site after all.
12.) 09 May 2025 09:33:16
I honestly can't see any scenario where Robinson or Hernandez come to Liverpool, unless we have changed our recruitment model.
13.) 09 May 2025 09:54:29
Unless Hato is 7ft, he won't pass Viktors minimal height for a CB test. He could always change careers and be an air hostess though.
14.) 09 May 2025 11:32:06
Gutierrez is on the list despite being at Girona and City Group? Surely the supposed scouts should know that's a non-starter?
15.) 09 May 2025 11:58:54
Are t we looking at Cambiasso of Juve also.
16.) 09 May 2025 13:44:13
I'm very much impressed by Kerkez, the way he plays. He will be very good at Liverpool.
Some fan say Robinson played very well against Salah. My question is, will he be playing against Salah if we buy him?
17.) 09 May 2025 13:44:25
Anyone saying Robinson is average doesn't know what their talking about (anti American player bias perhaps? ) . He is one the best Left Backs in the EPL. Saying that is he right for LFC? Probably not at 28 years old this year.
18.) 09 May 2025 14:09:26
Du cuyper should be in this list as Liverpool scouts have been spotted watching him numerous times this season. He also fits the fsg model more.
19.) 09 May 2025 19:04:21
Kaiser i don’t care where players come from but i do think Robinson is vastly overrated his work rate is and running power is first class but he gives the ball away far to often for my liking with simple passes. He reminds me of Jota in that way so massive no no from me I would rather Owen beck be given a chance that spending the reported £50m mark talked about Robinson.
06 May 2025 20:32:10
So according to all the ITK online our current scouting list for a new right back is
Wesley
Vanderson
Hector Fort
Andrea Cambiaso
Ismael Doukoure
Andrei Ratiu
Guela Doue
Matim Fernandes
Jeremie Frimpong
Givairo Read
Kiliann Sidillia
Oscar Mingheza
Lutsharel Geertruida
Frimpong would be my choice but Geertruida is a Slot favourite and covers 3 positions so might be better value if we have limited budget.
1.) 06 May 2025 22:03:54
Joao Cancelo has been sighted at Gregg’s in the Swan.
2.) 06 May 2025 22:33:02
I thought it was him going into bexleys.
3.) 06 May 2025 22:56:28
Always liked Dumfries and not MOTD fever.
4.) 06 May 2025 22:57:10
That wouldn't be enough right backs for Gareth Southgate, Casey.
5.) 06 May 2025 23:26:01
It’s not true lads, it was the pound bakery, and then he went into Hays travel to get a good deal on a weekend in benny.
6.) 07 May 2025 12:55:46
@Casey, if those are all ITK's then my money is on Anton Gaaei :)
31 Mar 2025 22:30:26
So I'm hearing there's been discussions between ownership and coaching staff on whether to invite Klopp to trophy presentation at Anfield if we win the league. It's felt players would be ok with it but ownership don't want to embarrass Slot. It's going to be drip fed to media in next few weeks to gauge if fans would accept it.
1.) 31 Mar 2025 22:48:15
Ridiculous in my opinion.
Klopp is a legend but there’s no reason he should be involved in the trophy presentation.
Why not invite Rafa, Kenny, Rodgers and Hodgson?
This is Slot’s victory, no-one interfered with Klopp’s trophy celebrations.
2.) 31 Mar 2025 22:59:34
Agreed. Jurgen should not be there. It’s Slot’s day.
If he wants to celebrate with the fans, sit in the stands or join the crowds for the parade.
3.) 01 Apr 2025 00:32:58
Defo Slots day . if Jurgen wants to attend the game . plenty of seats for him to sit in.
4.) 01 Apr 2025 02:02:47
Invite him to be part of the presentation itself or as a guest? If it's the latter, then I don't see a problem with it. But the day should be for the players and the current coaching staff so I'd have to give a hard no if he is planned to have any kind of involvement.
That being said, the league is not won yet so these should be on the backburner until it is confirmed that we are the league winners. We still have a job to do.
5.) 01 Apr 2025 02:34:42
Don’t think Klopp would do that anyway tbh. Not the type to want to steal the limelight. I hope to see him in the stands though.
6.) 01 Apr 2025 03:10:08
There's nothing won yet.
7.) 01 Apr 2025 03:32:23
Slot’s day, yes. But it was Klopp’s squad.
8.) 01 Apr 2025 04:55:19
Please can we win the thing first! Don’t for one second believe this rumour anyway - talk about jinxing yourself!
9.) 01 Apr 2025 05:16:19
I don’t think he should be present at all personally, it will only detract from Slot’s moment/ achievement.
10.) 01 Apr 2025 07:14:32
Could he not be on another bus with the likes of Milly and lallana as guests? They weren't able to experience it so a nod to their achievement would be fair imo.
11.) 01 Apr 2025 10:52:50
Didn’t Slot say a few weeks back that he has invited Klopp to attend on match days or the AXA centre whenever he wants to? Seems it is more of a ‘thing’ for users of social media than it is for the club.
12.) 01 Apr 2025 10:54:51
Klopps already stated he will be at the parade. But as a fan on the streets with the fans. Class act of a man and won't want to take the limelight of Slots achievement!
13.) 01 Apr 2025 11:51:17
Ron
Why would they invite Kenny Rodgers. Good singer but not sure he would turn up.
14.) 01 Apr 2025 13:47:31
Ron I read your reply as Raffa, Kenny Rodgers and Hodgson ?.
15.) 01 Apr 2025 14:24:33
Remember what day it is reds lol.
16.) 02 Apr 2025 15:21:17
Kenny Rodgers would be welcome Barry ?.
Casey's banter posts with other poster's replies to Casey's banter posts
22 May 2025 16:25:06
Apparently Alan Hansen going to present trophy Sunday?
No word yet if Klopp going to be there.
1.) 22 May 2025 16:55:35
Yes - the club has confirmed Alan's presenting it. From one GOAT CB to another. Warms the heart given his health issues recently.
Mark and Jo McVeigh of the Owen McVeigh Foundation are bringing the trophy pitchside as well, which is a lovely touch.
2.) 22 May 2025 17:35:02
To be honest Klopp can’t be there. It would only overshadow Slots achievement this season.
3.) 22 May 2025 18:06:48
That would be cool. Last captain to lift it when we could watch properly.
4.) 22 May 2025 18:07:37
Unless Arne asks him to come. I think that would be a very nice gesture.
5.) 22 May 2025 18:17:06
Klopp deserves to be there to enjoy what he missed out on due to covid.
6.) 22 May 2025 18:23:11
He might get invited to be on the bus Monday.
7.) 22 May 2025 18:32:47
Klopp isn't one to take the limelight much like Slot. I would imagine Klopp will be there but def not front and centre.
8.) 22 May 2025 18:53:21
If Klopp wants to be at Anfield he should be welcome. It won’t overshadow anything if he is sat in the crowd or in a box and supporting the team along with the other fans. It’s not like we will bring him out onto the pitch to lift the trophy.
9.) 22 May 2025 20:35:41
Slot deserves the praise and the limelight.
If Slot wants Klopp to be there then that’s cool, but if he doesn’t I’d completely understand it.
Basically it’s up to Slot.
10.) 22 May 2025 21:48:51
Klopp should sit this one out. come back to watch a game next season. Its Slots time now.
11.) 22 May 2025 23:41:20
He could sit in the directors box with KK and Rushie etc.
12.) 23 May 2025 03:38:26
Strange argument that Klopp shouldn’t be there as he might overshadow Slot.
Should we alllow Jocky to be there? After all he might overshadow VVD.
Slot and the 24/ 25 squad should be everybody’s centre of attention. Everything else is a bonus.
13.) 23 May 2025 08:02:37
My view is that it's probably more important whether RBL will allow Klopp to attend, given he is employed there. It's not exactly like asking for a day off for "personal reasons". They probably would not like it: I wouldn't if I was a his Boss, despite being a LFC supporter.
08 Aug 2024 07:54:13
He’s a bit underwhelming for a first signing for me and I have concerns about his passing and physicality and those of you expecting Alonso MK 2 are going to be disappointed.
Good analysis on you tube for him
Pythagoras in boots.
12 Jul 2020 19:23:33
I’m hearing we’re looking at a straight swap with Ox for Rice at West Ham. Covers midfield and centre back for us and they want more of a goal threat in midfield so suits both parties. Let’s us sell Lovren, then all we need is a back up left back and a forward.
04 Jul 2019 06:12:40
I’m sorry if what I said was sacrosanct but keeping Milner because he can play left back sums up why we won’t win the league. I’m not questioning his attitude, professionalism or work rate but I’m a dinosaur and would prefer all my central midfielders to be able to pass, run, tackle, create and score goals.
We have a midfield full of work rate, stamina and fitness but urgently need creativity.
{Ed001's Note - Milner can pass, run, tackle, create and score goals.}
03 Jul 2019 21:19:28
Well if we don’t upgrade/ freshen up our midfield then we’re going to struggle to keep pace with Man City. We need more creativity, pace and a goal threat.
I’d take any 2 of the following
Fernandes
Maddison
Havertz
Doucoure
Tielemans
Coutinho
And I’d let Lallana and Milner go.
