Saw Diomande described as a ‘Mane regen’ recently ? Absolutely million miles from him, I know he’s young, but you can just tell he won’t ever have the physicality or tenacity to be anywhere near Mane. He’s more of an Eze/Olise, nothing really outstanding about him even in an abysmal German league, definitely doesn’t have the electric pace required.

Ngumoa has been more impressive. I’d actually prefer Gordon if Diomande is anything over 50mil. Someone with a little bite and fight in him. We are absolutely full of jelly already. We need some players who don’t care about ruining their manicures and fresh blow drys.

In a competitive field of s*** opinions this is a leading competitor.

Imagine thinking a one trick pony like Gordon is a better option than probably the most exciting young talent in European football.

The only trick Gordon has is doing a Clare Balding impersonation.



As for "he won't have the physicality" and the nonsense about not having "electric pace", he's 6ft, built like a brick s*** house at 19, and he'd beat Gordon every time on a sprint, and he is explosively quick.

27 Apr 2026 00:40:20
Thought Wirtz was the most exciting young talent?

27 Apr 2026 02:52:39
Sadio Mane was playing for Metz at the same age.

27 Apr 2026 10:52:36
Wirtz took over from Sancho.

27 Apr 2026 11:46:08
I don't think Diomande is anything like Olise or Eze. He's much quicker and more physical than both of them. His pressing numbers, as you would expect of an RB Leipzig player, are very very good.

He has some attributes that Mane had, eg, he is two-footed, a good finisher and rapid.



However, I agree that he is not a Sadio Mane regen. Nobody out there is at this moment.

As for blow drys - have you seen Anthony Gordon's trim?

26 Apr 2026 04:14:23
Looking at the squad going into the next season, I feel like we definitely need to sign two RW to replace Salah. If Plan A is to sign Yan Diomande for 87m, thoughts on resigning Harry Wilson as second winger? He's free, homegrown and grew up in our academy. We could do a lot worse?

26 Apr 2026 08:30:35
I don't think so myself, Gav. Would rather see Rio get time on right or Kieran Morrison. Also, Frimpong can cover rw as wing as well.
No doubt we need a new player to start there next season.

26 Apr 2026 08:44:54
He left for regular game time and no doubt will be seeking that from his next club. Apart from the odd purple patch, he is an average player, in my opinion. We should be looking to the future rather than 29 year old ex players.

26 Apr 2026 15:22:59
Whoever we bring in, they will need speed and directness. Nothing against Harry Wilson, but perhaps not the profile we need right now. If we did, we could just keep Harvey Elliott or give Kieran Morrison a chance who are similar profiles.



If the Diomande fee restricts funding a second winger deal, looking at cheaper options like Leicester's Abdul Fatawu, Lyon's Malick Fofana, Hoffenheim's Bazoumana Toure, Al-Ittihad's Moussa Diaby and Wolfsburg's Mohamed Amoura might make some sense.

27 Apr 2026 08:23:32
Frimpong couldn't cover tables let alone cover rw or r anything.

26 Apr 2026 00:30:47
Red Sox just fired their manager and some other coaches.

26 Apr 2026 01:43:05
Wonder if FSG dialled the wrong number.

26 Apr 2026 12:40:20
So, FSG can do it. I hope Slot reads that !!!!

26 Apr 2026 18:51:00
Sadly, FSG only approved the sackings. It was Red Sox CBO Craig Breslow who pushed for it. Probably the equivalent of Edwards for us.

26 Apr 2026 22:42:37
Brilliant, SJ. ? ?

26 Apr 2026 00:21:04.
I genuinely do not mean to disrespect or discredit anyone on ‘tis brilliant site!

I was at the game earlier. Travelled over from Northern Ireland until Monday.



I suspect the direction of travel is that if LFC finish top 5, assuming Slot wants to, he will honour his contract?!

For me that view is only strengthened by the reliable posters on her saying Alonso appears unlikely for LFC! No judgement against anyone who posts on here in good faith because circumstances within football change in a blink!

25 Apr 2026 16:56:13
Chiesa and Rio are surplus to requirements under slot.
Find another club fellas.

25 Apr 2026 17:06:14
Rio? The kid's 17 years old and has gained plenty of experience this season.

25 Apr 2026 18:21:35
Find another club for the manager (and maybe Chiesa), but Rio can succeed under a better coach.

25 Apr 2026 19:53:18
Find another club yourself lad.

26 Apr 2026 18:09:34
Tbf it's been terrible watching this year.

25 Apr 2026 09:47:52
Am sorry, but all this talk about is Slot staying or going, and it's 50% one way or another to me is nonsense. The club are a very professional business and they will have made their mind up by now one way or another. They will not go into preseason without a manager in place that they are very confident will last the full season.

They will not buy players without consulting the manager for next season to ensure the player meets that manager's game plan. Why spend say 60m on a player who the manager feels will not suit his system?

25 Apr 2026 14:45:10
Not how it works under the current model, mate, that's why Arne's a head coach and not a manager. He gets input, his suggestions will be heard, but he has no power. Hughes and Edwards make the calls on transfers, and they will continue to do so in spite of who the manager may be next season. Arne hinted earlier in the season that he didn't get the players he wanted and also spoke about the lack of squad depth, strange thing to do if you just happily spent 450m on new talent, that's because he didn't, it wasn't his call.

Like many of us, he probably felt it was a lot of money to spend on not so many players. All you have to do is look at the transfers we made last summer in spite of the system we use, and you can see there's a disconnect.

25 Apr 2026 18:35:10
Spot on, Chewy. No way Slot would have wanted Frimpong and Kerkez as both fullbacks. Also, doubt very much he would have wanted Isak and Ekitike. Just look at how his former two teams played regarding what he expected from his two wingers, fullbacks and centre forward. None of the signings fitted that pattern.

24 Apr 2026 22:35:43
So who do we want to win the league, we have the 115 Citeh cheats or the Lego head eleven who are the most obnoxious team n manager by a country mile. I think I'd rather City won it n that boils my piss but the alternative is worse.

24 Apr 2026 23:51:00
We should want Arsenal. It's better for the league if different teams in it. They are not 115 times cheats. They've been our biggest rivals, with dodgy decisions in their favour costing us titles. But I just couldn't listen to them, other lot, they are unbelievable. They are unbearable when they've won f all, imagine them if they were champions.

25 Apr 2026 00:29:07
City, Arsenal fans are insufferable, City fans don't exist.
If City win, in 10 years time when looking back we can always say they cheated. If Arsenal win, in 100 years time the Gooners will still be harping on about it like it was yesterday.

25 Apr 2026 05:26:07
City all the way for me.

Arsenhole do not play footy... these dark arts have no place in footy imo.

1 billion spent to score from set pieces... do me a favour.

Unfortunately, I do believe that Bournemouth are going to be king makers in this season.

I see them being the team to take points off City and handing the trophy to the dark arts merchants.

25 Apr 2026 10:12:57
It's like picking your favorite child.

25 Apr 2026 10:14:18
The best about Arsenal and corners, the set piece coach is lauded as a genius by TV commentators and punters, and it got to the point that when they get a corner Arteta allows the coach in to his area to organise the corner play and he stands back.

25 Apr 2026 15:59:40
Gaga, or your worst child.

25 Apr 2026 18:09:31
Me, I personally want LFC to win the league every season, so whoever wins it, good luck to them. But who wins it, I really do not care. More interested in what we do for next season so we can take the league back. YNWA

23 Apr 2026 23:20:26
I genuinely didn’t mean to sound condescending or whatever with earlier post folks!

By the sounds of it no 1 at LFC can say with absolute certainty what is going to happen beyond this season!

A lot of big teams will be in the market for the same managers so if Slot sees out his contract and things go badly then by Christmas there will be less attainable options!

A lot up in the air at the moment.

Will Champions League be enough for Slot to remain and is he even happy to stay?

If Alonso didn’t have links to LFC, Writz and Frimpong would he be a noticeable upgrade?

Iraola by all accounts is homesick and would doing well at Bournemouth translate to success at LFC?

Sebastian Hoeness is punching above his weight in Germany but would be a gamble!

When Rodgers was sacked Carlo and Jurgen were attainable! There doesn’t seem to be to be an obvious answer this time!

I am trying to illustrate that going down a rabbit hole about Slot in the absence of certainty could drive anyone insane LOL!

24 Apr 2026 15:07:20
Don't worry, Diogo, the written word can often be misconstrued.

One family under the LFC brolly, have a great weekend.

23 Apr 2026 13:32:33
According to El Correo - newspaper headquartered in Bilbao - Athletic Bilbao have an agreement in place with Edin Terzic, so Iraola won't be going there.

23 Apr 2026 18:36:13
Why would he want to join LFC with the complete mess that Clot has left, it took LFC 30 years to win their first PL, another major rebuild is on the cards, as Clot has utterly failed with his first rebuild attempt.

Iraola has rebuilt Bournemouth with meagre funds in three seasons, average home gates of 11, 000, a vastly under rated manager, which proves his managerial and coaching skills are second to none, he uses his football acumen to solve problems which is the best and cheapest.

We used to be in the top echelon of clubs, now we are in the race to the bottom under Clot.

23 Apr 2026 19:08:40
Stopped at why would he want to join LFC.

23 Apr 2026 20:18:28
Stopped when I saw it was written by 007

24 Apr 2026 09:22:20
Ed's please can you do something about this 007 bloke? He's going around all the pages calling Slot by the name "Clot" and it's just vitriol and abuse. He's not actually posting anything constructive or worthwhile debate.

He's just a troll calling our current manager names. It's unbecoming of a Liverpool supporter. I don't wish to tell you how to run your site, but posters like that offer nothing of any value and will just drive way good posters.

{Ed001's Note - if you think that is a problem, you really are soft. Hardly abusive is it? You wouldn't last 5 minutes in a Liverpool household if you think calling him Clot is abusive. You need to go watch some clips of Paul Smith and then you will get some idea of what a family dinner is like, then you will realise that it is not vitriol, it is teasing.}

24 Apr 2026 11:16:34
Ed001, I meant his whole posts in terms of the vitriol and abuse, not just that one word (that's just childish more than anything; similar to when people used to call Hodgson, "Woy"). He's just going over the top with the slating and posting the same thing over and over again.

I'm all for banter and I'm glad some of my group chats will never see the light of day, trust me. But it's not really banter what he's doing because for a start, Slot's not even on these pages! He's just posting overly negative waffle over and over again and calling people stupid names.

{Ed001's Note - you don't like what he has to say, so ignore him. It is not difficult to scroll past.}

24 Apr 2026 15:10:23
Back to Magnus - Could be Sociedad or Osasuna and lastly Alves, I believe all fall under the "Basque" region. Although RS, I'm sure, just won a cup, so their manager should be safe.

26 Apr 2026 07:36:26
SirBobby - I think Iraola being on the up after Rayo Vallecano and Bournemouth, if he's going back to LaLiga, the most logical place would be Athletic Bilbao. He's a fan, he's a former captain and a club legend and would be succeeding Valverde - who he's said is his biggest reference and gave him his professional debut.
Since his early days, Iraola has always been seen as smart, so joining the likes of Utd or Chelsea now - I don't see it. Hope it's either Liverpool or Athletic - I also don't get why they would want Terzic.

Last night their president gave an interview without giving names saying 'I won't say who the new coach will be, but I can say he is a top coach'. In today's market, and attainable for them, that would certainly be Iraola, Alonso, albeit with a Real Sociedad background, and right now no other names come to mind!
Also, I don't think there has ever been so many conversation about managers. We speak about them as we would players - but I just love it!
