Pedro to Chelsea confirmed, could this be the start of the striker merry go round? Newcastle will have to make a move regardless after losing Wilson, could be an interesting week or two. Ekitike news seems to have quietened down I just wonder if he might end up in a Liverpool shirt after all.
1.) 29 Jun 2025 20:16:19
Maybe, but not sure what’s the next move that will be triggered. I’m sure Brighton will have someone lined up, but it won’t be one that Newcastle will be targeting I doubt.
Confused why he’d go Chelsea, they just bought delap and have Jackson (who I think gets some undue hate), so that’s 3 strikers between what 21 and 24? Along with all the others they have to get rid of.
2.) 29 Jun 2025 20:18:31
Stuie boy is correct that’s what I’m asking.
3.) 29 Jun 2025 20:35:27
I would think they will do what they can to keep isak with a bumper contract and who they go for is anyone's guess, puts that one to bed as far as we're concerned I reckon, I hope not but we'll see.
Chelsea seem to be carrying on with the young players on long contracts approach, they looked unbalanced last season maybe even more so now.
4.) 29 Jun 2025 20:43:28
I think Jackson will leave, probably outside of the premier league.
I don’t see the fuss about Pedro at all.
5.) 29 Jun 2025 22:28:25
Pedro is primarily a SS or AM. He only played CF when Welbeck was injured or rested. Pedro is better on the LW even, than he is at CF. There is absolutely no reason why he can’t play with Delap or Jackson. The tricky part in my opinion is how to play him and Palmer together. I think they’ll get in each other’s way. Also they both score about 50% of their goals from penalties so something has got to give there.
Once we signed Wirtz, our need for a player like Pedro vanished. We need a proper goal scorer now.
6.) 29 Jun 2025 22:54:19
Bad move for Pedro I think.
7.) 29 Jun 2025 23:51:16
I think money talks in the case of Pedro. Why go to Chelsea and wait for playing time, when Newcastle would give him a better opportunities
Doesn't make sense, but then again neither does Chelsea's transfer policy.
8.) 30 Jun 2025 00:06:36
Pedro replaces Nkunku and Felix as they will both be moved on. Delap and Jackson for the middle. Neto/ Madueke for RW then Pedro and George for lw.
9.) 30 Jun 2025 01:22:05
I can see Jackson playing as a 5.
He wants to play up top but Maresca has said I want you back.
Palmer will play in a midfield three with the Brazilian Emerson and another ex City player Paul Lake.
10.) 30 Jun 2025 03:36:50
The Chelsea fans will dub Palmer the barbarian then, rigsby!
11.) 30 Jun 2025 09:30:25
I think we can probably gauge the age of site users by those who ‘got’ Rigsby’s post and those who didn’t. I’m firmly in the ‘got it’ category….

26 Jun 2025 19:09:22
One for the eds, has there been any noise regarding gonçalo ramos? Looked like a world beater a few seasons ago and isn't playing much at PSG. Would he be a good fit or even under consideration?
{Ed001's Note - no noise but they are in the middle of the CWC.}
1.) 26 Jun 2025 22:56:59
Funny how his entourage are out making noise a couple of days after the Williams to Barcelona move has gotten serious. now he wants to stay.
2.) 27 Jun 2025 05:11:25
Looks awful every time I watch him.
3.) 27 Jun 2025 08:24:46
He looks like the after picture of John McGinns risky face surgery.
Bang versus player. He’s so slow.

John McGinn is James from the digitally animated film of James and the Giant Peach. Have a look.

Nunez to Napoli for just under £40mill plus add ons, not sure on how accurate that is but fingers crossed.

[Ben Jacobs] Liverpool want 70M Euros for Darwin.
{Ed077's Note - and Ed077 wants Sydney Sweeney riding him ? Want doesn't always get
2.) 25 Jun 2025 18:42:44
Kinda makes sense - they wanted to pay €40m, we lowered our ask from €60m to €50m and what you say sounds like €45m + add ons.
Lower than most would’ve wanted, but will still show a slight profit for PSR as his purchase price will have been amortised over the 3 seasons he’s been with us (I think he joined on a 5 year contract, so 3/ 5 of his fee will have been amortised already.
3.) 25 Jun 2025 18:47:14
Half price sale! Everything must go!

Hi Ed077. Sydney Sweeney here. I’m on my way around to yours. I’ll bring my own saddle.
{Ed077's Note - I'll get the lubes ??
6.) 25 Jun 2025 19:04:37
If i was a betting man, id say Hughes will not be accepting such a reduced fee from Napoli, why would they? Why not play Napoli off with the Saudis and everyone else to drive the price up? Hughes is a hard negotiator.
7.) 25 Jun 2025 19:21:21
Elliotts a tough one, clearly loves the club, cracking left foot, works hard and seems a good kid. But just doesn’t seem to have the physicals for a slot team in the middle, and we have salah on the right. I bet he will look good if we sell him, and might seem like a regret, but not sure he will get the opportunity if he stays.
8.) 25 Jun 2025 19:29:08
We all love Harvey Firmane but unfortunately passion for the club isn’t enough otherwise we’d all be playing for Liverpool.
9.) 25 Jun 2025 20:53:36
No need for the lube youll slot-in fine I bet.
10.) 25 Jun 2025 21:10:11
Harvey is 100% better than Curtis jones.
11.) 25 Jun 2025 21:10:42
Hughes being a hard negotiator is better than him hardly negotiating last window.
12.) 25 Jun 2025 22:54:25
They are a different type of player Magico but Jones does what he does better than Harvey does what he does.
Harvey has shown glimpses of brilliance at times but ultimately he is largely anonymous when he plays. I don’t think you can say that about Jones.
13.) 25 Jun 2025 23:58:09
Now now let’s not talk about money Ed002 will be looking down on us tutting YNWA Ed.
14.) 26 Jun 2025 01:20:16
Add ons : €50 for every time he’s offside.
Hughes: DEAL!
15.) 26 Jun 2025 02:54:52
Harvey's time was up after the loss to Plymouth Argyle. Slot put his trust and faith in him to lead the team that night, and he was invisible.
16.) 26 Jun 2025 05:14:19
That game against Plymouth is taking on legendary status isn’t it? It was a second string team sent out to try and get a result that didn’t happen - a bad day at the office for an already under strength team. Yet Elliott and Chiesa and one or two others seemed to have ruined their careers based on 60 minutes in what the club took as a ‘gimme’. I think Elliot has it in him to be a very good player and Chiesa, if he ever does get to the right levels for the PL could well be excellent.
17.) 26 Jun 2025 06:44:12
Yep, WDW, absolutely right.
I think the powers that be at LFC are more intelligent than to base their decision on whether to keep or sell first team players on a single game in the middle of the season a long way past the end of the M5 where none of the players were used to playing together.
If having an anonymous game or two was reason to sell we'd be hawking Mo Salah!
I love Harvey, and I think he'll be a brilliant player. I think he'll flourish given game time and we'd kick ourselves if we let him go and do that against us instead of for us. Think how furious the Fulham fans are to see him in red!
I think he could be (or could have been) a future LFC captain.
Clearly it's going to be very difficult for him to get game time in a midfield packed with world class talent.
Maybe a loan, or at the very least a sale with a buy back clause, is best for everyone. But I hope we keep him, and rotate more to keep everyone fit and at their best.
18.) 26 Jun 2025 09:46:32
You don’t spend £116m on a ten and keep the spare.
Harvey has played games in succession during this tournament and proven how good he is. He needs games and match sharpness. He needs to play twice a week, not once every six weeks.
With the arrival of Flozza Dubs he isn’t playing. It’s in his interest to leave. Brighton looks like the perfect club.
I wish him well, he’s an absolute belter but Slot likes people who can cover the ground, Harvey doesn’t do that.
19.) 26 Jun 2025 09:57:26
Ron i nearly fell off my chair with the offside add on, that was proper funny.
20.) 26 Jun 2025 10:24:54
If Saudi don't want to pay silly money then to be honest I'd say Nunez is worth no more than £40million plus some add ons. How much would you be happy to see us pay for a striker who has deteriorated over the last 3 years and coming off a season having scored 7 goals?
21.) 26 Jun 2025 10:31:05
Nunez is approaching his best years. He’s not gotten worse, he’s in the hardest league and still has a GA comparable with Firmino.
He is not a bad player, he is in the wrong league with the wrong manager for him.
22.) 26 Jun 2025 11:54:44
“Nunez is approaching his best years” - that has made my sides ache I laughed that much. He had two good games against us about 4 years ago. Since then he has steadily deteriorated. How you reach the conclusion that his best years are coming just makes me laugh every time I think about it. My wife thinks I’ve gone mad.
23.) 26 Jun 2025 12:27:35
Yep, that’s clearly just daft.
He plays for Liverpool. No Liverpool player is a bad player. He plays regular international football for Bielsa.
So Klopp and Bielsa think he’s good.
Lad on the internet doesn’t.
Liverpool pay him more than we will ever earn because he’s a very good footballer. His hold up play is good, his attitude was astounding as was his work rate. His heads up his arse as Slot doesn’t fancy him, but he’s a good footballer.
I’d tend to agree with the 60,000 at Anfield as opposed to a lad on a forum.
21 Jun 2025 16:29:59
A fun one from Twitter, no doubt make believe.
: Liverpool want Víctor Osimhen (26) but Napoli won't make any discounts on his £64M release clause - #LFC have offered an equal exchange deal including Chiesa and Nuñez for Osimhen but Di Laurentiis wants: Chiesa + Núñez + £17M in order to make a deal,
@ValterDeMaggio
.
1.) 21 Jun 2025 16:49:59
Hughes and Edwards do not bend to the will of dodgy CEO's wills.
The Italians can F right off if they think they are going to chisel us down.
2.) 21 Jun 2025 16:55:18
He’s a tough negotiator but it seems we would be getting our pants pulled down a little bit in my opinion.
3.) 21 Jun 2025 17:26:41
Simple no.
Chiesa could get 15mill
Nunez 50 mill
That's 65 mill
So we are not adding 17 for a player that wants out. We can wait them out.
4.) 21 Jun 2025 17:34:17
Italian papers few days ago said Liverpool value Nunez at £51m. So add in Chiesa at 15m we have a deal surely.
5.) 21 Jun 2025 18:02:41
Osimhen for now, cheap and cheerful, whilst waiting for the Isak Deal to happen, whenever that may be.
6.) 21 Jun 2025 18:13:31
Who do you want to watch at Arne-Field next season Nunez, Chiesa or Osmihen! and i'm pretty sure Arne knows who he wants to select out of the three, who would all rival managers (E/ C, Premier) like to face out of the three, also who improves the team the most Nunez, Chiesa or Ozzy!
lastly who would Premier League, European defences rather "NOT" face out of the three?
Chieas and Nunez wages will probably circa combined pay for a good portion of Ozzys wages also! always strive to improve your own team first is the number one priority of any transfer?
7.) 21 Jun 2025 18:21:07
Osimhen's release clause is £63m.
Football Italia has reported a verbal offer has been made by Napoli for Nunez of around £36m-£37m, which is below the Reds’ valuation. The report from Football Italia claims Liverpool would accept “around €50m” for Nunez which converts to just under £43m.
Add on £10m to £15m for Chiesa and it still doesn't match Osimhens release clause. Now it's not 17m short but still short.
I suppose it's down to Nunez, we'd probably get more from Saudi but maybe he won't go there. Hard to see Athletico paying g much more than what Napoli have offered. Problem is we want shot of Nunez and if the teams he wants to gi to won't pay a decent fee we're either stuck with him or we have to let him go on the cheap.
8.) 21 Jun 2025 18:21:43
Osimhen: “cheap and cheerful”.
£75m (cheap apparently) .
€355k a week (and absolute steal) .
Publicly criticised his national team coach.
256 days injured in less than four years.
27 in October.
Cheerful?
It’s amazing to me that so many massive clubs need a proven striker and yet this player is not wanted by any of them. So much so he had to spend a year of his prime years on loan in Turkey.
I wonder what all these clubs are missing? How have they all got it so wrong?
Do they even listen to people on here?
9.) 21 Jun 2025 19:13:41
According to the ITK posters on here, thw wage demands are not as much as stated by the press, and yes, 63m is quite cheap as far as world class forwards go.
The fact that his temperament is apparently a risk is conjecture - he has plenty of offers and has not simply signed for a Saudi club in search of riches, at least not yet.
For me, Osimhen is a safer bet than Ekitike at 100m euros, and would likely score more goals than Sesko at 70-80m, in my opinion.
Why0why -Are you saying that you have superior and detailed knowledge of the forwards available to us and know who we should choose? Please do tell, and let's see if you are right mid way through next season.
10.) 21 Jun 2025 19:52:15
We bought Chiesa for £10m and he hasn’t played a full game for a year - how do we reckon he’s worth £15? Presumaby if we keep him for another 2 years and he doesn’t get a game he’ll be worth £25m?
11.) 21 Jun 2025 20:17:25
Maybe it's the reported 400k per week he was looking for before his move to Turkey. Maybe that put many teams off trying yo sign him? It's been said on here by one of the good posters (Carra, Akira, TheFields) that he is willing to drop his salary expectations so now we may see more interested. Since the window opened the following have been reported as having an interest in signing Osimhen from at least one source following a quick search online, Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, June, RM, PSG, Saudi Arabian teams and of course Galatasary.
12.) 21 Jun 2025 20:45:22
Vango, it’s widely reported by multiple sources that he wants £400k a week. Ed002 confirmed it last year and his demands haven’t changed since.
13.) 21 Jun 2025 20:56:08
Publicly criticising his manager is not “conjecture”.
Being classed as “the most difficult time of my professional career” by Juves sporting director is not conjecture.
Costing £63m is not to be dismissed as cheap considering his age highly limits a significant sell on.
His poor injury record is not to be dismissed.
His salary demands ARE NOT KNOWN BY ITKS
What is observable is he’s never played for a massive club - ever - even though loads of them need a goal scorer.
Do you suspect amongst SD and coaches there is some chat about him? Can you give one sensible suggestion as to why he is on loan in Turkey in his prime? Do you think the “conjecture” and all the factors listed my mean there are risks to the reward here?
14.) 21 Jun 2025 21:10:21
WDW
It was still a cheap purchase by Liverpool. I would reckon he would still have suitors at £15 million. It still feels a steal in my opinion.
15.) 21 Jun 2025 21:18:58
Chiesa is worth whatever someone is will to pay and there are a few suitors apparently. If true then its really not difficult to suggest £15m. Supply and demand, obviously last year no one wanted a cheap winger, this year a few seem to be looking and not many options.
16.) 21 Jun 2025 21:41:26
Nope, no way, no chance, ridiculous…. If true of course!
17.) 21 Jun 2025 21:54:08
Isak won’t happen imo - Newcastle owners on drugs with some of the ridiculous demands being mooted! Osimhen although admittedly a born goalscorer he has some baggage and wage demands laughable. Alvarez doesn’t want to leave Spain so Martinez or Sesko are more realistic targets but we’ve got to sell Nunez AT ALL COSTS in this window??!
18.) 21 Jun 2025 21:58:55
WoW let's be fair, the Napoli social media team spouted some awful racist stuff at him, so I can see him not being comfortable with that.
19.) 21 Jun 2025 22:08:25
for £200 million we are better of with both Gyorkeres and Etike but need to sell Jota and Nunez.
20.) 21 Jun 2025 23:04:33
Lofty
10,000% what they did was ridiculously bad and that is no reflection on the player.
However, it has no real impact on all the other issues that seem to follow him.
It’s mad that people here feel they’ve unearthed a gem that somehow big clubs have missed the boat on for about 9 years. What seems more likely…every big club has got it wrong OR he comes with baggage and that baggage is filled with red flags?
21.) 21 Jun 2025 23:32:01
I’ve said for 18 months that we need a CF, but to be honest apart from Martinez and Isak, I’m not convinced that any of the others that are being; talked about. I have a feeling that if it’s going to be Isak it’ll happen next summer which basically gives us Martinez. Just my opinion.
I like the saying the right player at the right price’ and I think the club tends to stick to that but in the CF case it might really be ‘the right player at the right time’.
22.) 21 Jun 2025 23:56:10
What happened to the interest and meetings about Martinez? Is he no longer an option?
23.) 22 Jun 2025 05:18:04
I wouldn't spend silly money on either of them.
We have 6 front line forwards already, 3 of which didn't perform optimally last season. Sell 2 and keep the one that might fit into a Wirtz system better. Spend money on defence. Done.
24.) 22 Jun 2025 06:47:44
West Derby Wanderer IV. Id take Martinez too if Isak is not available, but surely Inter will want silly money - Italian clubs rarely offer reasonable deals .
Napoli are one of the most difficult clubs to deal with and are undervaluing Nunez and Fede - Fede has had a year off, a years expert training and a big wake up call - he's likely to be a better player than he was.
25.) 22 Jun 2025 07:57:10
Is it just me or does Osimhen remind you of Balotelli?
26.) 22 Jun 2025 08:47:11
Crazy Nunez is only valued at that.
The way he’s made out by some he was world class that was being let down by his team mates ability to pass the ball to him earlier.
27.) 22 Jun 2025 08:54:32
In what way Anglesey?
28.) 22 Jun 2025 10:14:46
With the rumours floating around about Inter right now with dodgy sponsorships and such, they may end up with a lot less agency in transfers than they would like. Just depends how true things are.
29.) 22 Jun 2025 10:24:46
No Anglesey. you’re making an opinion from reading these posts. No one really knows what his personality is.
30.) 22 Jun 2025 10:49:31
Letstalkaboutsix
Yeah, but that works both ways. No one knows if he’s sound or an absolute nightmare.
However you can observe things and form an opinion.
He’s been described as a nightmare to negotiate with.
He’s had 256 days injured in less than four years.
He’s not a secret yet no one good has signed him.
In his prime he’s on loan in Turkey because they’ll pay his very high wages.
His current salary is €355k and that’s too much for us.
He publicly criticised his national team manager.
So people are not assuming things. These are public record and forming a view based on this is not unusual.
Neither is observing he’s older than players we sign. Ian Graham said the oldest we aim to sign is 24.
Thiago and Chiesa broke this mould and I suspect they reinforced it.
31.) 22 Jun 2025 12:35:15
Napoli does not play Osimhen but plays hardball. Contract until 2026 with an option for extra year. De Laurentis is a tough negotiator and only tries to get a financially best deal for him. On the other side, he is also not averse to simply keeping a player on contract even if he does not play and not selling him.
Peronally not a Osimhen fan, imo the character does not fit our team. Current salary is € 250K p/ w. If he demands much morem 400K? (presume tax in UK is much higher than in Italy. ), better to stay away?
32.) 22 Jun 2025 16:16:37
And Vango - I’m suggesting with so many red flags around Osimhen it’d make sense to trust the judgement of experts in this field who don’t want anything to do with him as opposed to lads on the internet who spend their time obsessing about Richard Hughes work schedule.
33.) 22 Jun 2025 20:04:50
Perhaps Victor could bring all these red flags with him and hand them out to Kopites on his home debut.
I'll get my coat.
34.) 23 Jun 2025 09:23:03
Absolutely no way are we signing this massive bell end.
35.) 23 Jun 2025 09:27:51
'27 in october'
Haha, and that's old now? Flipping eck. I don't want us to go anywhere near the lad, but using age 26 as an issue is baffling.
36.) 23 Jun 2025 10:34:43
No silly, it’s not old for a human. It is older than Liverpool choose to buy. Liverpool buy 24 and under. There have been two notable exceptions (Thiago and Chiesa) and you can arrive at your own conclusions about those deals.
We buy at that age so there is a potential sell on if the player explodes and WANTS to leave (think Countinho) then we will get huge ROI. This is not my opinion, view point or feeling - this is what Liverpool do. Ian Graham who was fairly pivotal in Liverpools transfer successes details this in his book. He also explained it using English during an interview so it’s quite easy to understand.
Great baffled incredulity though, nailed it.

Lots of positives from the first game of pre-season, firstly hats off to both sets of teams and fans on what must have been a very difficult day.
Young Rio looked a menace every time he was on the ball, Stephenson and Nyoni both very assured, mama looks to have a bit of donnaruma about him, kerkez looks excellent, nunez an ice cold striker re-born?
For those who didn't get a chance to watch there were some really nice moments with both sets of fans singing Diogo's song.
Rest in peace lads YNWA.
1.) 13 Jul 2025 23:13:33
The scenes at the end where the players and coaches stood Infront of the fans as they changed Diogo's song were very emotional, Gary Gillespie was in bits after it on LFCTV. Something that will live with me a long time, well done to all the fans today. Both sets, immaculate x.

Carragher got in based on appearances. There's a small justification for each choice on the original article.
10.) 13 Jul 2025 10:38:12
Robbie Fowler?
11.) 13 Jul 2025 10:41:09
Kenny Dalglish is clear at no1.
Not only a top talent but the best of mankind.
12.) 13 Jul 2025 10:41:41
Roger Hunt? Billy Liddell? I’d have Sami before Carra.
13.) 13 Jul 2025 10:54:22
How you can have a top 20 without god is beyond me
Top 20 list mmmmmm
Up the pool.

Queen of the scotty road - try reading a bit slower, its an AI generated list I stumbled across that i thought might be a bit of fun for discussion on a Sunday morning.
15.) 13 Jul 2025 11:09:44
Just relieved to see AI is still a bit not good and we are not all about to be replaced.
16.) 13 Jul 2025 12:38:09
Depends entirely how you quantify 'greatest'. Hendo captained the club to our first league title in +30 years but he would be warming the bench if competing with Rafa's late 00's midfield that didn't win a thing. talent and accomplishment are two very different things.
17.) 13 Jul 2025 13:08:38
And that’s why AI is still a few years off before it wipes out the human race.

If Stevie is the greatest midfielder of all time where does that leave Souness? In my life no one other than Zidane has come close to Gerrard.
19.) 13 Jul 2025 14:12:08
Carragher and McManaman don’t belong on that list.
20.) 13 Jul 2025 14:32:45
In my opinion I think Souness was better than Gerrard as he was a more complete midfielder. I’d pick him over Gerrard every time because opposition players were terrified of Souness. I think Hansen said that the players thought they could beat anyone because Souness dominated the middle so much.
21.) 13 Jul 2025 14:33:14
Keegan has to be higher.
22.) 13 Jul 2025 14:53:54
Fair enough, I’m constantly speed reading so missed the A. I. bit, won’t catch me using that garbage anytime soon.
23.) 13 Jul 2025 15:16:16
I agree not very intelligent that artificial is it ?.
24.) 13 Jul 2025 15:50:12
If Souness had not returned to manage us, and had not talked to the sc*m- he would have been remembered solely for his playing and been right up there.
The most complete midfield player I have had the pleasure of watching play for us.
25.) 13 Jul 2025 16:14:25
Carra played over 700 games for Liverpool, openly admits there were better players, but he constantly played well, put in some shifts and was instrumental in a number of trophy wins. Just be open and honest and say you don’t like him as a person.
26.) 13 Jul 2025 17:54:10
If it’s an all time list how come there is nobody on the list from 1982 to 1962, when Tommy Smith signed as a 17 year old? ‘All time’ didn’t start in the 1960’s.
27.) 13 Jul 2025 17:57:28
Carra is an absolute knob.
28.) 13 Jul 2025 18:36:16
I have never met Carragher so I’m judging him on his football ability alone.
Top 50 on a good day.
29.) 13 Jul 2025 23:03:20
Am I missing him or did Becker not make that list?
And Carra might have played a lot of games for us but that is more indicative of the lack of options imo. Good player but no way is he one of the best centre backs we have had unless you were limiting the list to the last 40 years.
01 Jul 2025 20:12:56
Maybe a touch of WCC fever but Yildiz looks like some player for Juve, moves a bit like kvaratskhelia and always looking for the ball, definately one to keeo an eye on. Would be some player to sign out of the blue and no doubt very expensive!
26 Jun 2025 06:42:45
A fun fact to start the day, Harry Kane has more Premier League goals in the last 3 seasons combined (30 in 38) than Darwin Nunez (25 in 95) and as we know tired old Harry has been in Germany for 2 of them.
I do still think Darwin will come good somewhere but sadly not here. With any luck he goes and does a Forlan post Man Utd.
1.) 26 Jun 2025 07:35:40
Harry has also claimed more goals from his team-mates than Nunez has in the last 3 years as well.
2.) 26 Jun 2025 08:08:57
Jesus, that's some stat! Less than 30 league goals in 3 seasons as the number 9 of one of the top teams in the country is just plain brutal. Undefendable. Will be a huge addition to the squad getting someone actually good enough up there leading the line, gamechanging.
3.) 26 Jun 2025 09:45:19
@FM, he just isn’t fit for purpose at the level. End of story really.
25 Jun 2025 18:32:55
Out of interest when the time comes would anyone be interested in joining a fantasy football league, Maybe pin the joining details across all the rumours club pages?
1.) 25 Jun 2025 18:38:48
There is/ was one set up I think?
{Ed077's Note - Should I give it a go ? Start 1 this coming season? Set up a Site wide League? Free or Entry fee with weekly wins?
2.) 25 Jun 2025 18:39:09
I think there is one already Ernest. I’m sure the code will get posted again in a month or so.
I can’t remember it as I joined a few seasons ago and so get entered again automatically.
3.) 25 Jun 2025 18:50:33
Sounds good to me Ed077.
4.) 25 Jun 2025 19:49:37
I would enjoy that as I don’t have anyone to do it with, used to do it with my old job and it’s fun.
5.) 25 Jun 2025 19:50:39
There is a league every season. Maybe we should all put a pound in a pot and top 3 positions win a prize?
6.) 25 Jun 2025 21:56:57
Ed077, I think Ed033 pins the code to the top of the banter page around the start of the FPL season….
{Ed077's Note - cool.
7.) 26 Jun 2025 02:13:26
I'd be happy to stick a few quid in this year!

Slotsredmen is no doubt saying that if Newcastle go in at £75 million on a player valued at £86 million then we won't go in at £80 million, or start a bidding war over and above the asking price.
15 Jul 2025 07:18:25
Al hilal according to this mornings rumours, inzaghi wants him supposedly.
14 Jul 2025 07:42:25
Of course you are Frode surely that's what this site is about? For me as long as it doesn't go beyond what happens on the pitch then it's only natural to have an opinion. We criticise or big up potential signings in the same way but im sure nobody wants anything bad to happen to any of them personally.
13 Jul 2025 19:16:12
From the bits I've seen he wouldn't be an upgrade on Nunez, maybe he's just showing some support on the day of our first game since the recent tragic events.
13 Jul 2025 09:03:22
There are some good players coming out of Ecuador.

14 Jul 2025 17:06:47
Offers something different to what we have, could be a decent signing.
13 Jul 2025 16:15:54
Bobby is off to Qatar to play for Al Sadd.

There has to be a place for Fowler as well probably for Mane.
