Ideal Transfer Window
Looks like and hopefully it is, an exciting transfer window ahead.
What transfer would you guys like to see?
Out:
1) Kelleher sold (love him, but need the cash)
2) Tsmikas, time to make way for a younger and better version
3) Nunez (love his endeavour, but over time, it is confirmed, he is not good enough)
4) One of Quansah/Gomez (I like both for different reasons but time for an upgrade)
5) Chiesa - matter of cutting loss, although early days. Based on what I have seen so far, my suspicion is he is not made for the robustness of the league
In:
1) Huijsen
2) Kerkez
3) No. 9 (please suggest) - I keep seeing Isak, but given the price, it is unlikely I would think
4) No. 6 - likewise, not sure who is reasonable and good taregt
5) RB ( if Gomez is sold, since not sure who else to provide back up)
6) Kudus- There is an outstanding player here, and should be considered if Diaz/Jota also leav
1.) 08 May 2025 12:55:44
Mean not entirely sure on how realistic but:
Cb - Huijsen or Murillo (though is left footed)
Lb - Kerkez or Robinson
Dm - Wharton or baleba
With forwards if he won’t sign extension would move Diaz and would also move Jota and Nunez. If three went Cunha, sesko and Jonathan David would be a plausible combination.
If we can go big Isaak or Morgan Rogers. But guess time will tell.
2.) 08 May 2025 14:12:44
Jota is a spent force.
3.) 08 May 2025 14:50:21
I’m not gomez’s biggest fan but the lad is very useful being able to play along the back line has more experience than anyone we could bring in, keeps his head down never moans or asks to leave ( I think) in fact I don’t think I’ve ever heard him speak. If he wants to stay I’d keep him. He deserves that he’s still a good player.
4.) 08 May 2025 14:55:08
I agree there scouse John. Doubt Gomez would generate a huge transfer fee and can’t think he’d be on a massive wage so his versatility might be better value than selling him.
5.) 08 May 2025 15:38:35
Newcastle offered 45m for Gomnez in the summer as part of the deal for Gordon. English tax.
6.) 08 May 2025 18:54:49
Just for the fun:
Out:
Kelleher
Gomez
Tsimikas
Elliot
Chiesa
Jota
Darwin
In:
Valencia GK
Frimpong
Huijsen/ Murillo
Kerkez/ Hato
Wharton
Xavi Simmons
Julian Alvarez
Sesko.
7.) 08 May 2025 18:55:37
That may or may not be the case Johnny, always sounded a duff story that to me, plus with another injury struck season behind him there is no way we’ll see another offer that size. He’s great backup and can stay for me.
8.) 08 May 2025 20:08:46
Kelleher is the absolute nailed on favourite to move sadly, as with Mamardashvili signing Kelleher will automatically move from second choice keeper to third in line, ye won't get any odds from the bookies for him going, great servant to the club, conducts himself admirably other players should have followed his prime example and also earned the respect that Kelleher will imminently receive. Jurgen will be the first with the richly deserved accolades.
Would not be surprised at all that with the Trent fiasco and despite Becks having adequate years left on his contract, that LFC would consider any serious offer around the circa 60 mill plus region, if he was signed for 68 million and went for the same that would represent shrewd buying and selling.
LFC have just been unjustly badly stung by player power we can't afford that repeatedly every year (no answer to Bosman transfers I would reluctantly say) half a loaf is better than none, also to consider is will Arne's first ever signing not be considered first choice next year! what could he reply to John Henry if Henry whispered why did you sign him to sit on the bench, when we already had a WC goalie with years on his contract?
Henry has probably muted that to Arne with regards to Chiesa, who knows Marv7?
9.) 08 May 2025 21:23:40
Ok, just for rubbishs and giggles here's my list:
Out:
Kelleher
TAA
Konate (we need a fee if he's not going to sign a new contract)
Tsimikas
Phillips
Williams
Endo
Morton
Elliott
Diaz
Nunez
Chiesa
Doak
Jota
In:
Marmadashvili
Frimpong
Huijsen
Hato
Wharton
Xavi Simons
Jonathan David
Julian Alvarez.
10.) 08 May 2025 22:59:26
For God's sake, anyone bar Fabio Borini.
White smoke at the Vatican today is that for the two RM players getting married pre-season.
Any Trent well wishers had their invitations yet!
11.) 09 May 2025 01:00:26
In an ideal world (not that I think we get these) :
Out:
Keller
Tsimi
Phillips
Williams
Konate (only if he doesn't sign)
Morton
Chiesa
Nuñez
Jota/ Diaz (I'd say one of them, not both if Nuñez also going)
In:
Marma
Kerkez
Hujisen
DM (would love a destroyer next to Grav)
Cunha
Isak (probably stays with NUFC for another season if they get CL)
I have a feeling a lot can change in terms of CB, LB and RB in terms of who we get based on what happens with Konate. Ideally they get that sorted with him ASAP and it doesn't drag for too long.
12.) 09 May 2025 01:24:29
cornwell finest, you are changing the entire team! :)
the few occasions I saw Wharton, I was not impressed.
the players who impressed for premier leagure are:
1. Morgan Rogers - Very good, but I think between a 8 and 10, I feel like a more physical faster macallister. If we can do with him as a backup 6,8,10.it will be fantastic
2. Kudus - Outstanding player, I will have him over Diaz, or Gakpo
3. Cole Palmer - Very very skillful and intelligent player, maybe false 9 in our system.
13.) 09 May 2025 09:28:54
How hard is it to understand that if a player - say TAA or Konate - has a contract that they are happy to fulfill then the club can’t do anything about selling them. The club and the player both signed the contract so both knew what they were getting into.
As much as the club (and fans) want to sell him Rey can’t do anything about it if he doesn’t want to leave.
We can hope the any new contracts the club offer - having learnt their lesson - have clauses from preventing thus situation happening again - option for club to exercise triggering if contract extensions if players are ‘waiting’ to sign for Ian other club, as an eample. We shall see.
14.) 09 May 2025 09:37:41
I would prefer defensive additions over attacking ones. Kerkez, Hato and Frimpong (who could cover for Mo and afcon) . We need a no 9, with Nunez definitely going, and Jota likely too, and David is free, but I’d like Harvey to play more and a look at Doak as well in the squad. The full backs bar Bradley need an upgrade. And in a huge Robbo fan. I’d like to see Quansah on loan. He needs his confidence lifted. I don't rate him at RB or CB.
15.) 09 May 2025 10:01:29
1) Huijsen/ Murillo, Hato
2) De cuyper - Starter LB
3) No. 9 - Jonathan David and Delap as back up
4) No. 6 - Angelo stiller
5) RB - Guehi (As back upto Bradley and CB cover), Frimpong (As utility player, can play as RWB and RW cover for salah)
6) Morgan Rogers - HG and can play RW, LW and CAM.

What do guys here think of buying Huijsen and Kerkez?
In terms of in, I think this is great.
In terms out, it is suggested that it will be Quansah. Tsimikas is probably the one to make way.
I am not sure about letting Quansah go.
I would think that if we are not able extend Konate, better to sell him.
I do not see Konate being miles better than Quansah.
Robertson and Kerkez for the left should be sound enough.
Without TAA, who will compete or provide cover for Bradley?
1.) 18 Apr 2025 20:13:45
Quansah is not even at the level of konate when he joined the club, and is nowhere near his level now.
If we can't get him signed up, we need to try and sell konate, but that's the only circumstances in which I would sell him.
Quansah needs to knuckle down and become his own player, rather than trying to be the right sided Virg, as there's only one Virg and a poor imitation is not a great defender.
2.) 18 Apr 2025 20:21:16
Both Robo and Tsimikas need to go. Bring in Kerkez or Hato and use beck as well.
3.) 18 Apr 2025 20:40:08
Quansah, is languid and positionally poor. He is no where near Konate’s level…. He is still young and he has time to improve but personally I would loan him out for a year and see how he develops, as he is not yet ready.
4.) 18 Apr 2025 20:43:35
Couldn't have said it better myself, RugbyP regarding Quansah. As for konate, maybe he will sign now cos VVD has signed. And if he won't then, we need to let him go to wherever he wants and get a fee for him.
5.) 18 Apr 2025 21:06:49
Konate is streets ahead of Quansah but if he doesn’t agree a new deal then he needs sold along with Quansah, not instead of him.
6.) 18 Apr 2025 21:26:59
I would go for Hato before Kerkez.
7.) 18 Apr 2025 21:48:24
12 months ago quansah was the next van dijk according to everyone on here, how things change.
8.) 18 Apr 2025 22:04:05
according to everyone on here NEVER happened, what a daft thing to say.
9.) 18 Apr 2025 23:22:30
For it to be everyone on here, JK23 and OliRed would have to agree on something, and we all know that ain't happening!
{Ed025's Note - love it RP..
10.) 19 Apr 2025 01:09:04
Think Joe would be the most likely CB to leave, and i'd agree with that.
11.) 19 Apr 2025 02:18:01
Hopefully VVD can advise Quansah as to how to progress. VVD was similar when young attitude wise, so can obviously kick on with the right guidance.
12.) 19 Apr 2025 06:07:56
Nothing about Quansahs game screams that he is going to be a top CB. The guy is massive yet seems physically weak and doesn't seem to win a lot in the air. Positioning is poor and passing average. Zero aggression. If someone wants to pay us a fee for him this summer, we should snap their hand off.
13.) 19 Apr 2025 06:19:58
The 2 bournemouth lads would be my picks for cb+lb. i don't know much about hato so can't say on him.
I would still have in faith in quansah, this season has been messy for him only getting cup games and an odd game coming on. bit unfair to criticise him at rb as he not a rb, konate r vvd would struggle there 2. He has a lot to improve on but I think he can. Quite like munoz at palace for rb if trent goes, think he would fit v nicely.
14.) 19 Apr 2025 07:48:17
Hahaha brilliant Rugby.
15.) 19 Apr 2025 07:53:33
I have to say that based on what we saw last year I too predicted that Quansah would probably be in the England team for the next decade alongside Branthwaite. This year he has really fallen off a cliff after being substituted at half time by Slot against Ipswich in the first game, I don't know if he'll ever recover from that and work on his game enough to make it with us. I'd like to think so, I mean I even bought this year's away kit with his name on the back after his showings last year.
16.) 19 Apr 2025 08:12:48
Qansah is awful and if the 30 million. Is what clubs are prepared to pay I’ll piggy back him to any of the clubs who buy him, I don’t drive so has to be piggyback.
17.) 19 Apr 2025 10:07:44
think some of he analysis of Quansah is unfair. What was Virgil doing at the same age?
He needs time and space to grow into his game and for people to stop comparing him to the peak 28-yeard old version of what he may become.
18.) 19 Apr 2025 10:42:21
Do a deal with bournmouth for huijsen and keekez with quansah going the other way on loan for a year
Give konate a new contract if he doesn’t sign sell and buy another centre half keep Gomez as cover because he’s not going to generate much of a fee with his injury record.
19.) 19 Apr 2025 15:22:26
Nice one there, Rugby. I actually laughed.
17 Jun 2025 16:29:33
I read 1 post saying Isak is the number 1, and that the mkt is not fantastic for strikers. That Liverpool is happy to stay the way we are, and at best maybe go for stop gap like Watkins if we can't get Isak.
It sounds very sound, pardon the pun.
I think Watkins was the only one mentioned.
Does any of the other eds or anybody itk can suggest some potential stop gaps?
I think Watkins will do a good job for us, but if he is too expensive, then might as well take a punt on the younger potentials.
13 Jun 2025 16:57:05
If we do want another no. 9, given that Nunez seems gone, I would also let Chisea go.
We would still have plenty of cover.
Isak sounds and looks good, but can we really afford him?
Tsimikas is probably also gone, given Kerkez is joining.
Elliot too.
Morton can go too if we can get some cash, but do keep Endo.
If we do let go of Quansah, it will be such a pity, but it gives us a chance to upgrade.
We can only let go of one of Quansah or Gomez, definitely not both, even if Konate sign.
Without Isak, I think this will be a net 120M window.
With Isak, and thus more sales, it will easily be a 250M window.
03 Jun 2025 03:59:55
Ed001, saw yuor comments on Osimhen.
I think you are very spot on, on what is required to be a success.
Would like to ask, apart from Ishak, who else would you fancy.
I have seen (albeit all just highlights) of Sesko, and Ekitike, I am not really impressed.
{Ed001's Note - Lautaro Martinez would be great.}
24 May 2025 14:46:42
Nunez seems to be heading for Atletico, no?
Players who are leaving, I think there is a long line of them, Kelleher, Nunez, Tsimikas, probably Elliot, Morton, Endo, anyone in exchange will do, as long as we get good value.
I think with Wirtz is, that is it for midfield. Either Morton, Bajcetic (if he is still an option) or Endo will be the back up. And probably a mix it up change of role for Szobo.
I am happey enough with that, but I hope Endo is the on who stays.
With Frimpong, and hopfully Kerkez in and now Wirtz, just another 2 more to go.
A no. 9 and a centre back.
