Liverpool Rumours Mobile

14 Jul 2026 18:22:23
I've genuinely enjoyed reading and sharing information on here over the last couple of years, but lately the hostility has become a bit much.

I think I'm going to take a break for a while.

At the end of the day, this is a rumours site. The Eds put a huge amount of time into keeping it running, and plenty of people take the time to submit information in good faith.

As someone who's shared information myself, I know not everything comes off, and sometimes things change after you've heard them. Other times, people will simply get it wrong. That's the nature of transfer rumours.

Whether a rumour turns out to be true or false, the abuse and personal attacks aimed at the people submitting them have become exhausting to read. It's meant to be a bit of fun, a place to discuss possibilities, speculate, and then see what actually comes to fruition.

If you're after certainty, wait for the club announcement. If you're here for rumours, then there has to be room for people to be wrong without being piled on.

Hopefully things settle down. Until then, I'll be taking a step back.

Diddy Over & Out.

{Ed025's Note - dont let the nay-sayers grind you down Ned, us Editors value your input and sharing of information mate, if you require a break then thats fair enough but my advice would be to not Kow-Tow to these factions who offer very little and expect set in stone information when us in the real world know how quickly things can change, even the great ED002 got it wrong at times because all information can change at the drop of a hat, whatever you decide to do is fine my friend but please do it for the right reasons..

14 Jul 2026 19:11:43
Ah no, Ned. You are a great poster. Everyone has a right to a break, but make it a short one, please.

So disappointing if people who offer nothing but to criticize chase posters off who bring proper value to the site.

{Ed025's Note - absolutely Davey..

14 Jul 2026 19:18:49
Just don't read the haters. You will always get the people on here talking b******* to make them feel better, it's sad really, but I've learned to not take on board all the negative that life throws at you.
Hopefully we see you back very soon, Ned.

14 Jul 2026 19:18:57
Always enjoy hearing your news, Ned.

Don't let the small minority of prats stop you from sharing.

Hope to hear from you again sooner rather than later. 👍🏻

14 Jul 2026 19:14:04
Sorry to read this Ned. I've been coming to this site for more than 15 years. The toxicity has certainly increased over the years. From the majority of readers here I echo Ed's sentiment. Take time out as you see fit. If you come back and post then I for one would love to read your quirky posts and do appreciate them.

14 Jul 2026 19:23:01
Hope certain posters, wind up merchants and trolls that are unfortunately on the site are proud of the fact they are causing other to question being part of the community.

Keep it up lads and you'll be left with only yourselves to criticise and abuse.

No poster deserves it and the Ed's don't deserve all their hard work being ruined through these people.

Be better everyone. Be better.

14 Jul 2026 19:25:03
Very long time lurker, and I did post a long time ago but lost all my deets, but wanted to post up to say, Ned, I've really enjoyed reading your posts, it'd be a sad day to not read your posts.

Hopefully read you again in the none-too-distant!!!

14 Jul 2026 19:25:23
Ned, it will be a real shame if you do take a step back and you'll be missed. I bet the silent minority (like myself) appreciate all the info you've provided.

I think most people have an issue with fake 'ITK's' who Twitter gossip to stir up the fan base, and us supporters are intelligent enough to know the difference between the spoofers and the real thing.

People have even questioned Carra, Robbo, VG & TheFields, who have impressive track records. You've been honest enough to say you may not get as much info due to your source, but we all appreciate your input into the site nonetheless - and, as you said, things can change quickly in football.

This is a rumours site and is meant to be fun - if you're not having fun, mate, have a little break, but don't stay away too long, we'll all miss the 'diddly out's'.

14 Jul 2026 19:27:24
Will be a shame to lose you for however long, mate. Don't let the haters get you down. There's plenty of us who appreciate your (and anyone else's) input.

Having said that, look after yourself, and take as long a break as you need.

14 Jul 2026 19:28:26
Shame to see you go, Ned, there's plenty of us here who appreciate the stuff you post, but definitely can understand you not wanting to deal with the vocal minority that seem to have taken over of late.

14 Jul 2026 19:38:16
Funny how people can't read. The clue is in the title of the website. It's not called Liverpool-Facts.co.uk.
Some people just love others being wrong or falling down, it's the state of society these days. Nothing better to do, Ned. I swear it's because of these people we still have "do not drink" on bottles of bleach.

14 Jul 2026 19:40:55
We love you, Ned - don't let the knuckle draggers win. You are 1000% more important than them, so don't let them get away with it. They'll see this as a victory. I'll back you on the frontline from now on, so you are the true victor!

14 Jul 2026 19:46:05
Ned, if they go low, you go high. :)

Idiots will be idiots.
Fools will be fools.

But us normal folk appreciate you and others who post in good faith.

14 Jul 2026 19:47:49
How can you hate Ned Flanders?

Chin up, Ned,
Fowler and the OGs on this site have your back.

14 Jul 2026 19:48:51
Ned, this would be a great shame. Your posts are always informative and delivered with great wit.

But taking a bash from anonymous forever angry cynics can take its toll, so I do understand if you want to take a step back.

Either way, you should hold onto the fact that 99% of the people on this site love your contributions - it's just the 1% who tend to shout the loudest. Now Slot has gone, they have decided to fire their canons on the people who give most to this site.

14 Jul 2026 19:55:17
Enjoy the break, Ned, but please come back. I, like most people on here, value your posts and opinions. This is as close to social media I do, as I can’t be doing with all the p****s. My advice is, just skip the posters who, you learn over time, offer nothing but negativity.

14 Jul 2026 19:56:25
Stupid sexy Flanders.

14 Jul 2026 19:56:47
Ned, don't give in to the keyboard warriors. Most of us enjoy and look forward to your posts. Don't give in to the haters.

14 Jul 2026 20:00:14
Stay with us, Ned, you are one of the posters I always look out for.

14 Jul 2026 20:00:25
Hey Ned, for every single toxic poster there's a hundred who appreciate you and the ITK's contributions. This is a place for Liverpool fans to share, enjoy and respect one another. We all have a common interest, but some of the stuff I read would suggest otherwise. YNWA, my ar@e.

14 Jul 2026 20:00:37
Agree with all.... Stay, Ned, ignore the trolls. We appreciate all you share.

14 Jul 2026 20:14:50
Please don't stop, Ned. Your posts are really good. We appreciate the rumours (I know I do and you will see plenty of support from others too). I especially love the quirkyness of your "diddling," and it will certainly not be the same without those posts.

14 Jul 2026 20:18:19
Won't somebody Please think of the children?

14 Jul 2026 20:18:42
I think Ned is one of the genuine posters, and I personally enjoy reading your posts. However, this forum has recently become a hotbed of people claiming to be in the know, or receiving genuine information, which is actually becoming tiresome. I have no issues with people sharing rumours, and we are genuinely lucky to have people like Ned, Carra, Fields and VG who I genuinely think have access to info, but it's when you get the random username claiming they have info, it just gets a bit boring.

If you want to share a rumour, there is absolutely no harm in saying it's your opinion. Over the years, I've found the best part of this site is just sharing thoughts on who we should and shouldn't sign. The ITKs were a bonus.

Hope to see you back soon, Ned. Hope the leftorium is doing well!

14 Jul 2026 20:22:11
Don't do that, mate.

Sod the haters.

14 Jul 2026 20:23:50
When it's your post, Ned, I know it's worth reading and enjoyable. But I agree, mate, there can be a slight toxic element to this site, which is a shame.

I think this isn't just this site. Some people are at the ready to hammer others for the slightest thing.

Some people are just absolute Richard heads.

14 Jul 2026 20:27:25
Where is the hostility? Seems pretty chill to me.

Take care, Ned. 🥸

14 Jul 2026 20:28:42
It's a rumours page for rumours. Personally like reading them, and Flanders, you might be a bit of a Charlie Church, but your posts are funny. If a rumour turns out right, then fantastic; if it's not, well, it's not the end of the world. Worse things happen than a rumour in a page meant for rumours not happening.

14 Jul 2026 20:31:20
Hi Ned, I enjoy your Intel and posts. Please don't stop posting.
When I get down, I try to make myself understand that, with good intentions, there will always be bad. Otherwise there would be no meaning of good. Try and rise above, my man.

14 Jul 2026 20:31:54
Ned, you bring a smile to me and I'm sure many others with your "Diddly Ho" "Diddly out" signature move! I don't even care about the rumors; you have an infectious personality! So please know that many people read your comments and value your contributions to this community. The world is a hostile place these days, so please don't isolate yourself.
YNWA.

14 Jul 2026 20:33:07
Don't do it Ned, I've thought about it many times myself, but it's far too much of a good site with the majority of posters being sound. As well as some of the best people around editing this site to make it what it is.

It's that time of year when the little impatient kids start turning up, don't let them put you off posting.

As FPF said, Fowler and the OG's have got you, mate.

14 Jul 2026 14:09:59
Hi all,

As seen today via David Ornstein, Liverpool have begun briefing journalists regarding the Barcola deal. As I have advocated for the past few months - I strongly believe Barcola will be a Liverpool player. All parties are happy to conclude a deal and talks with Barcola's agent have been very positive in the last few days.

14 Jul 2026 16:04:55
Well flump me! Keep it up, Vg, it's nice. 😎

14 Jul 2026 16:07:59
Cheers, Vic, any idea of the fee yet?

14 Jul 2026 16:13:58
I'm not really sure of a fee, but I've heard whispers of a price in the region of 100m pound. Talk of 150m upwards is incorrect.

14 Jul 2026 16:14:13
Thanks, VG.
Keep up the good work. All information is welcome.

14 Jul 2026 16:22:37
You're a legend, Vik.

14 Jul 2026 16:26:30
I believe you, VG, even if you didn't space.

14 Jul 2026 16:33:17
Surely Bayern Space should be

Bayern


Space

?

14 Jul 2026 16:36:34
VG, you are a legend, keep it up, mate. I have a feeling Barcola is probably already under way. Be interesting who you think is on the right hand side.

14 Jul 2026 16:37:05
Cheers, VG.

14 Jul 2026 16:40:38
Cheers, Victor.

14 Jul 2026 17:16:51
Alright, Victor...

What I don't understand, the club releasing info regarding Barcola yet nothing for the likes of Fabhino, and more recently Munoz out of the blue?

Cheers, Drogie.

14 Jul 2026 17:24:53
It all depends on the deal. In Munoz's case, that was a late hijack. By publicising our interest, we only strengthen Newcastle's position by allowing them to negotiate further.

In Barcola's case, the understanding both PSG and Liverpool have is that we are his preferred destination.

14 Jul 2026 17:40:52
Cheers, Victor. Nice update.

14 Jul 2026 17:47:34
I'm confused why we are going for a LW when we clearly need a RW.

14 Jul 2026 18:26:26
Barcola can play all across the front 3. Perhaps the plan is we sign him this season, he plays on rw, then next summer we sign a Diomande or another rw, and he moves over to the left. That’s what we did with Mane. There are not a lot of great wingers out there.

BB is probably the best that is available, so we just have to get him and make do. It is still an improvement to what we currently have.
Also, with Isak, not necessarily bad to have a winger who goes outside and crosses/pulls back.

14 Jul 2026 18:30:53
The RW market seems to be pretty empty at the moment. Even Diomande is primarily a left winger (although he has played on the right for RBL).

14 Jul 2026 18:31:01
Skezza, Barcola is right footed, so could easily play on the right if needed, although I do think he generally plays on the left. I guess it depends on what formation we're going for, especially as we already signed Munoz, who also prefers to play on the left......

14 Jul 2026 19:05:28
Maybe move Rio to RW.

14 Jul 2026 19:36:18
Agree Rio can play left or right, but I think counting on Rio to start the majority of games is folly. He needs to grow and add muscle.

14 Jul 2026 14:41:29
The last 48 hours have seen significant dialogue with PSG over Barcola. Barcola keen on the move. Not saying it will be done but there is a lot of groundwork being done.

14 Jul 2026 15:48:26
Thanks for the info.

PS. If you want to have any credibility on this page, then you need to get with the program and space out your sentences.

14 Jul 2026 15:51:29
Should just rename this place LFC Twitter. More ITK's than KFA's.

14 Jul 2026 16:30:56
Cheers, starseeker. Not after credibility. Don't usually post. Just sharing what I've been told.

14 Jul 2026 18:14:39
Who gives a flying f*** abouts spaces !!!
Less of the bull, focus on the job, all sounds promising and appreciate the info.

14 Jul 2026 18:58:18
🤣 @ FloM.

14 Jul 2026 11:58:49
Afternoon,

Interest in Manu Kone has been played down by sources close to him.

Told that he only has eyes for Manchester United.

Which is ironic considering his name is Manu.

Cheers.

🔜🇧🇷🐺

14 Jul 2026 12:36:46
Ahh the ITK spaced out lines trick... classic.

14 Jul 2026 12:41:22
It would be ironic if he didn't want to join Man U.

14 Jul 2026 12:44:03
Hi all,

Hear that. Kone is not on our radar, although Roma are open to sell him in order to comply with the financial fair play rules.
Joao Gomes looks done.
Lamine Camara could follow, but will depend on outgoing players.


Sano and Acheampong are unlikely.
Liverpool keep an eye on Nathan Collins, the Brentford captain, and Jules Kounde of Barca, but no inquiries as of yet.

14 Jul 2026 13:06:59
I wonder if the increase in ITKs on this site coincides with the massive uptake in AI chatbots. Wouldn't be difficult to set up a simple agent that scours the internet for the more reputable reporters of information, compile together, and then, hey presto.

Or, maybe I'm just more pessimistic in my old age...

14 Jul 2026 13:10:36
Kone is a Liverpool fan. He's said it in multiple interviews. Come on. If you're going to lie, at least make it believable. If Liverpool had gone for him, he'd be a Liverpool player.

14 Jul 2026 13:18:36
Nathan Collins & Joules Kounde are scraping the barrel.

14 Jul 2026 13:21:33
Just people getting encouraged by gullible fools stuie.

14 Jul 2026 14:04:45
Kone only has eyes on Man United because they are offering a higher basic wage, whereas Liverpool have often gone down the road of offering less basic wage but more incentives and bonuses.

Cheers.

14 Jul 2026 14:35:02
@stuie - boy,

It coincides with the very sad passing of Ed2

14 Jul 2026 15:55:43
Manu Kone is the type of player we need in our midfield. Tough tackling and physical. Those traits will always serve you well in the EPL. Something we severely lack.

14 Jul 2026 15:44:41
You about ed? What do you make of Nathan Collins?

Being Irish I would love to say I see a fantastic player there but, while I do like him in green, I just don't see a player at the level of LFC.

Who would you like to see us sign for cb? Zabaranyi or Murillo probably be my picks.

Cheers man, hope you're well and enjoying the heat!

{Ed001's Note - Collins is very average, not a chance we would consider him. Murillo for left or Zabarnyi for the right, depends on which we are looking for. I like both.}

14 Jul 2026 11:07:01
Hype at training centre probs someone is having a medical.
Jao Gomes?

14 Jul 2026 11:14:33
Pre-season training, nothing new.

14 Jul 2026 11:15:00
Or just players reporting for pre season.

14 Jul 2026 11:28:29
Is the van about?

14 Jul 2026 12:11:55
Isn't it fitness tests today?

14 Jul 2026 11:59:31
Are the sky reporters there with a purple dildo in their ears?

14 Jul 2026 12:53:46
Has anyone checked his flight itenerary?

14 Jul 2026 18:51:08
@Fatwallet, I still laugh my ass off when I remember that transfer deadline day. 😂 Whoever that Everton supporter was, is and always will be a legend! 😂😂😂

14 Jul 2026 10:37:47
Morning Lads,

Been recently told that Liverpool are working on multiple deals at the moment.

Joao Gomes is under the process of being finalized.

A surprise move for Arnau Martinez is currently being looked at as he has a release clause of under 10 million pounds.

I wouldn't rule out a late move for Adam Wharton and Yankuba Minteh.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇲

Cheers.

14 Jul 2026 11:02:45
Just what we need after last season. Late moves so that new players can't adjust and start slow.

14 Jul 2026 11:57:15
Late moves?
The WC is still on!

14 Jul 2026 12:41:47
Arnauuuuu not Martinez. 😱

14 Jul 2026 12:54:41
Where does this Arnau fella play, and what club is he at, pls?

14 Jul 2026 13:27:00
Jesus, Oli,
I mean just go to Google and type in the name.
You could find out everything you ever wanted about him, and more, in 10 seconds.

14 Jul 2026 13:35:22
I think Yan is far too happy to play along here, based on his ever-changing statements regarding who his dream club is and who his dad supports, it's pretty clear he has no problem talking pure waffle. I think he's very well aligned with Rocnation and their approach, a perfect match. Congratulations to them and all their hard work to achieve another season at Leipzig.

14 Jul 2026 14:13:51
@OliRed, Right back, 23, Girona, La Masia graduate. Traditional full back, not exceptional going forward, good in key defensive areas and ball retention. 10 would be a pip, had a lot of interest in La Liga last season. Would serve us better than JF imo.

14 Jul 2026 07:19:43
Just seen this posted by ITK space (prev Bayern Space).

My understanding is that, even if Yan Diomande and his representatives return with a willingness to join Liverpool, the club have made the definitive decision to move on and will not do business with them or Jay-Z’s Roc Nation following events that, as detailed in my earlier reports, were unprecedented in European football history for all parties involved.

14 Jul 2026 08:20:29
Well, we'll see how it plays out. I think we do need to walk away, if we haven't already, as ITKSpace stated. Diomande needs to move agencies for the good of his career, I think.

14 Jul 2026 08:36:46
Blink twice if you need saving, Yan.

14 Jul 2026 09:25:17
Storm in a teacup. If we want the player, he wants to come and we can agree a deal with Leipzig. He will come no matter who his agents are.

If one of those 3 things aren't there, then he won't.



No point getting stressed about it and constantly searching Twitter. We all know that these Twitter accounts post things for engagement, so take what they say with a pinch of salt. Good or bad.

14 Jul 2026 10:17:37
Nothing good comes out of Jay-Z. The dude is evil, not too different to Diddy.

Someone needs to tell Yan to change agencies.

14 Jul 2026 09:40:12
I am curious as to what exactly the actions are. If you could also post his comments regarding that @2Shoes, it would be great.

14 Jul 2026 10:25:26
Hilarious you think Jay-Z is his actual agent. The ignorance is mind boggling

14 Jul 2026 10:46:03
@thekoparmy, With regards to his comments, I believe it's in relation to what he posted on 28th June... which is as follows..

Inside the Red Bull football group, and particularly at RB Leipzig, there is a growing conviction that Yan Diomande's camp used Liverpool's genuine interest as leverage to accelerate Paris Saint-Germain's pursuit. Personal terms with Liverpool were indeed agreed, which subsequently led to an official approach to RB Leipzig, something that, as virtually everyone within the industry knows, does not happen without a prior agreement with the player. The prevailing belief today is that this sequence of events was designed to increase pressure on PSG to step up their efforts and move more decisively, which has now happened, while Liverpool have already moved on in recent days and shifted their focus towards other elite targets.



It is worth noting that a growing number of senior figures across the European game privately point to the player's representatives at Roc Nation Sports, the US-based agency handling Diomande, believing the negotiations were conducted with little regard for the long-established customs, discretion and unwritten code that have traditionally governed elite European football transfers, with several figures remarking that the approach felt more akin to an American franchise-style negotiation than the relationship-driven culture of Europe's elite game, leaving many within RB Leipzig, Liverpool and wider industry circles privately describing the entire episode as an unnecessary circus that, in their view, eroded professionalism and trust.

14 Jul 2026 10:48:01
There was a photo of Yan Diomande with LFC part-owner LeBron James yesterday.

14 Jul 2026 11:04:10
That's cause LeBron is a closer friend of JayZ.

14 Jul 2026 15:35:33
LeBron moved on fly.

13 Jul 2026 20:30:07
Evening Gents.

Diomande is still on, regardless of any rumours.

Rbl are also being difficult.

I've been told Joao Gomes is basically a done deal.

We're also looking to sign Kone.

Cheers.

{Ed025's Note - nice one Robbo, cheers for the update mate..

13 Jul 2026 21:03:48
Does that end the Wharton interest then? Or are we selling a couple of midfielders?

13 Jul 2026 21:06:52
With how it's played out and what his agency is like, is it worth it?
Can't imagine what they'd be like if we sign him and his contract is up for renewal.

13 Jul 2026 21:11:51
It's not all down to his agents.

It's payments, difficult getting into finances in football because they're messy, it's not a case of a bank transfer.

I still see it getting done.

Cheers.

13 Jul 2026 21:17:36
We can't be signing somebody called Man U.

13 Jul 2026 21:23:43
Gomes seems a sensible purchase. Premier League experience and tough tackling.

13 Jul 2026 21:33:58
Are you guys excited for Joao Gomes? I'm having a really hard time trying to understand how he moves the needle for us at all.
I've known him since he played in Brazil, and for me he just screams squad player/another body. He wasn't even the "6" at relegated Wolves, of course, they had to tackle and defend more there, but I don't see how he's an upgrade on what we already have, and for a squad player, I'd much rather see what the likes of Trey and McConnell can bring.

13 Jul 2026 21:40:20
I think the Kone interest ... Might be too late, I think he's goin to United.

13 Jul 2026 21:45:03
If Kone goes to United then we still have Adam Wharton.

13 Jul 2026 21:47:07
Indeed, Robbo. Deals like this are very complicated to complete, and there is a lot of posturing and fake news going on, as well.

Like I always say, let the process play out, and no need to start jumping into conclusions with everything you read.



Also, I find berating the player for not doing nor conducting himself allegedly in the way some fans want, a bit petty, OTT and dishonest.

13 Jul 2026 21:48:58
Cheers, Robbo.

If we're being honest, they're both pressing machines and a perfect fit for Iraola's system. A double pivot of Gomes and Kone would give the back line the protection it needs while allowing Wirtz and the rest of the attacking players to play with far more freedom.

13 Jul 2026 21:49:26
PostKlopp, don't know about that yet, mate...
United are desperate. It's in Kone's interest to come here. Doesn't matter if we need to sell Jones; Kone'd be an improvement.

13 Jul 2026 21:52:04
Tanks for the info.

13 Jul 2026 21:55:00
To be honest, I think that we need to bolster our actual defense with someone like Tino Livramento. He ticks all the boxes for a rightback.

13 Jul 2026 21:56:25
Thanks for the update, Robbo.

13 Jul 2026 21:58:53
Gomes and Kone to replace Jones and Alexis would be fantastic.
Both would offer more, and consistently, than the departing two.
We can even lose Endo, who can be covered by a young player.

13 Jul 2026 22:01:59
I completely agree. Endo seemed like a bargain when we first signed him, but what has he actually done for the club?

13 Jul 2026 22:04:25
Looking to sign Man U? Viktor won't be happy.

13 Jul 2026 22:33:34
What has Endo done for the club? Jeez, some people have short memories. Worked his socks off, been the ultimate professional both on and off the field. Played a big part in our success until Slot decided that our defence didn't need someone to cover them.

Even then, didn't bitch and complain, but knuckled down and continued to work hard. Purchased for a low price and has easily paid it back. Won't ever be remembered as a top50 player, but definitely should be remembered as someone who contributed to the club's success.

13 Jul 2026 22:37:14
Cheers Robbo. 👍🏻

13 Jul 2026 22:40:12
Cheers Robbo.

Hoping to reel a few in sooner or later, now preseason is underway.

Thanks, Robbo. Hope Gomes is done. In this market he's less than half the cost. Good quality. Already settled and proven to this league. Would be a great signing. Not sure on Kone? Is he good? Not interested in WC fever, is he good enough?

From the negative I've read here around Diomande and his agents, I hope you're wrong.

Rather walk away. Too much £. Already a hassle before he's with us. There will be contracts to negotiate down the line. Head turned by PSG with 1-2 yrs left. Or Madrid. The fathers. The agency. Not from what impression I've built up.

13 Jul 2026 22:45:04
Great information again, Robbo. Much appreciated. It's going to get busy.

13 Jul 2026 22:51:32
If all of these possible transfers complete then that's a title winning team with Iraola at the helm.

13 Jul 2026 23:01:27
If you're so sure, Phil, then tell me. Give me an actual example. Sure, he made a couple of tackles. But what did he really do for the club?

You saying he contributed to the club's success is redundant. You could say that about anything, by your "logic", the fact that a giant red beach ball didn't roll onto the pitch was crucial to our success.

13 Jul 2026 23:06:09
*By your "logic", you could say that the fact a giant red beach ball...

Alisson, Endo was top class in his season under Klopp. Never a first choice, but was steady as hell when called upon. Also thought he was our MOM in the cup final, when he played through extra time with a broken limb.

Rarely appeared under Slot, but he was good value for the season he gave us.

14 Jul 2026 00:08:44
What does 'what did he do for the club' even mean?

It's such a shallow question to ask / statement to make.

14 Jul 2026 00:09:05
Joao Gomes and Kone seem a huge double up, unless we're reverting to the Klopp days, where we have 3 work horses. But where does this leave Dom and Alexis?

14 Jul 2026 00:33:48
Thank you, Robbo.

Anyway, the top target is Diomande.
Joangomez is a good buy for the price.

I hope you can fill the squad with the rest of your money.

14 Jul 2026 00:52:01
Cheers, Robbo. Any strong interest on our players? Looking out to this many midfielders, im guessing some will have to make way.

14 Jul 2026 01:09:05
AlissonLFC is a classic example of how we demand loyalty from our players while giving them none in return. Endo remained on the pitch while being quite seriously injured, so that we wouldn't go a man down while defending a corner. That injury put his World Cup hopes at risk, and it did ultimately rule him out of it.



What did he give for LFC? He sacrificed his last World Cup appearance just to defend a corner for us. If you can't appreciate that, then I have nothing else to say.

14 Jul 2026 01:22:47
Never mind what Endo did for us, I'm more concerned about what the Romans did for us.....

13 Jul 2026 23:49:09
@Robbo - Hi, is there any truth to Diomande demanding private jets, housing for his cronies and all the other sillyness?
Are there any red flags that you're aware of and would you walk from this deal if it were you?

14 Jul 2026 02:01:47
AlissonLFC, Livramento is a good player but we don't need a 3rd injury-prone RB, would be an expensive and bad signing.

Vikytaum, I think Gomes would be an upgrade on Jones and Macca. We need more steel and workhorses in our midfield. Dom, Wirtz and Grav can provide whatever Macca and Jones offer.

We now need a different type of mid to add what we don't currently have: steel, tackles, hard work. Kone and Gomes are good shouts to add those attributes in my opinion.

I'd personally be happy with Gomes and Kone, especially since they would be reasonably priced.

14 Jul 2026 04:26:21
WDW IV, the aqueduct?...

14 Jul 2026 06:08:19
And it's safe to walk in the streets at night!

Thanks for the update, Robbo. It's been quiet for a bit, so it's good to hear things are still happening.

14 Jul 2026 06:23:04
Endo has been a good professional but he definitely didn't play a big part in Slot's success.

He played 170 mins in the league the season we won it and 90 mins of that was after the league was won.

Of course he played a part. All the squad did. He just didn't play a big part.

14 Jul 2026 06:36:55
Aquaduct? More like Aquilini.

14 Jul 2026 08:26:54
Thanks for the update, Robbo.
I understand that your posts have high credibility in this community.
But my personal opinion is that I really hope you are wrong about Diomande. There are way too many red flags for me.


I really hope the club mgmt turns their heads in other directions.
My favourite type of players has always been guys like Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota. But, unfortunately, players like them don't grow in trees...

14 Jul 2026 08:47:28
Alissonlfc, Livramento has lots of injury problems, the Toon fans love him, but are frustrated he isn't fit (missed 36 games last season), so not really a viable option.

14 Jul 2026 11:58:05
Not sure on Joan Gomez, Rokki
But I'd rather have MBeryl, she scores more.

14 Jul 2026 12:49:05
Okay, but apart from the aqueduct, Aquilani, and Salah, what have the Romas ever done for us?!

13 Jul 2026 19:38:52
Might’ve been said already, but hearing we’re in talks for Haissem Hassan.

He’s got a €12m release clause, that’s an absolute steal! Only caught bits of him at the World Cup but he looked really promising.

If he wants to come and we can get him for that price. 🤌 What a signing. 🔴

13 Jul 2026 20:14:51
Obviously, World Cups can be very misleading, but he did look good in the 2 games I saw him play.
Definitely looked like he needs to work on his fitness tho. Was destroyed after only 70 minutes or so against Argentina.
But at that price, looked like he could really develop into some value.

13 Jul 2026 21:28:04
He was great in the WC, but his club record is not so great. Hopefully, he can kick on, if he indeed signs for us.

13 Jul 2026 21:28:39
I’d hope we’re not. Non home grown spaces are limited and should not be wasted on footballers whose only career success was one or two games in a 4 week summer tournament. It’s almost as bad as the ridiculous hype that Amrabat got (who is also largely rubbish, bar on a solitary World Cup tournament).

He’s been pretty woeful the last three or four years, and there’d be no reason to look at him otherwise. 0 goals last season is a poor statistic for a winger, whichever way you dress it up.

13 Jul 2026 21:49:24
Indeed, Cumber. Like you, not sure the WC is a yardstick for any player, but as you said, he was a nightmare to play against and has legs for days. I wouldn't mind him as a squad player should we sign him.

13 Jul 2026 21:59:26
A punt signing who can be sold on for double in a year's time if he doesn't tear it up.

13 Jul 2026 22:06:11
People seen him against Argentina...... Argentina must be the slowest team at the WC and are dependent on a moment of brilliance from arguably the greatest of all time... I'd tread extremely carefully here!

13 Jul 2026 22:44:41
He's rubbish.

14 Jul 2026 01:24:34
I love the idea of 'taking a punt and if he's rubbish sell him for double in a year'. Made me laugh out loud.

14 Jul 2026 01:50:57
He had 0 goals and 3 assists in the La Liga last season. He had a decent World Cup but I'd stay well clear of him.

14 Jul 2026 08:56:29
15 career goals in over 250 games, with none in any upper tier comp, I'd struggle to see what the data suggests he'd offer, even at £10m.

14 Jul 2026 10:31:55
Not good enough, even as a squad player. Reminds me of Assaidi, can take on players for days but has virtually zero end product. He said Salah had to 'babysit' him through the game so he could show his best. I think an easy swerve from me.

14 Jul 2026 12:25:42
I remember Houllier getting in early for Diouf and Diao pre World Cup. Great man, terrible signings.

14 Jul 2026 19:00:26
They were s*** signings, as he will be! He's 10 million for a reason.
