Liverpool banter 4

18 Aug 2026 11:31:06
Been away on holiday the last week and this site has really filled my chill time. Been a follower for a while and although there seems to have been a few extra moaners recently for the most part I really enjoy reading people's views. Additionally to the regular ITKs I also enjoy a few of the regulars and scroll to see their views. It's actually such a great site for just seeing if others feel the same as I do on the team and signings. VV has changed my view on a person more than anyone, when I first read their comments a long time ago it really annoyed me how negative, now I see they are just being honest and blunt and I find myself very often agreeing.

Really enjoy the Eds input as well, specifically 001 and 025(again honest but fair) but they are all great at what they do. Anyway just commenting really on what a brilliant site this is(especially when you have 2 teenage daughters who love to sleep and sunbathe) and how everyone(90%) really make it what it is! So thanks everyone!
Love being a supporter of our club! YNWA

18 Aug 2026 11:44:33
Thanks, Victor. ??

18 Aug 2026 12:19:39
Here, here! I must admit, VV has grown on me over time too! ?

18 Aug 2026 12:35:50
The positivity is a breath of fresh air atm. Much more enjoyable. VV, he's a good egg.

18 Aug 2026 12:46:30
Got to say VV has definitely grown on me, I've never really agreed with him but have on a few things recently.

Keep it up, VV.

18 Aug 2026 14:08:20
VV, You're getting soft. Too many people liking you. Time to turn it back on, mate.

18 Aug 2026 11:29:29
I have come round to the idea, if the player is amenable, of keeping Cody. 2 reasons, firstly Ekitike's injury and Cody's ability through the middle and secondly, I was a Cody fan a while back, and I want to see if his fall off last season was due to him or Slot. Given Spurs are willing to pay £70m+, I suspect it may be Slot.

However, if he is set on a move, and we can extract a decent price from Spurs, what do you guys think of a double deal, with Kudus coming to us? Most folks rated him when he was at West Ham and I for one was disappointed when he went to Spurs, understandable though given Mo had signed for another 2 years.

He had a significant injury last season - hamstring so not ideal for a speedster - but I wonder if, for example, Kudus + (say) £10-20m for Gakpo could be a good deal for both parties?

Would solve our RW problem as long as Kudus has recovered (reports suggest Aug/Sep for a return).

18 Aug 2026 12:55:45
Hi Zed, think you've answered your own question there. A big no from me due to injury, which is last thing we need right now with our squad.

18 Aug 2026 13:01:24
Kudus looked good before his injury, but it's never good bringing fast players back from hamstring injuries. He could easily pull it again and be out another 3 months. We shouldn't go near him. Any more injuries and we will need to be in the market for medical staff nevermind wingers and midfielders.

18 Aug 2026 13:02:57
Yeah, but people do recover from hamstring injuries. Did Salah have one not so long ago?

18 Aug 2026 14:13:40
I like Kudus, but I'd avoid for now.

Swapping an always available winger who scores a decent amount of goals and can cover CF too when needed for a winger who played very little last season and has played no preseason, is a very bad deal in my opinion.

18 Aug 2026 14:24:08
Fair enough, folks, always a risk, I agree.

18 Aug 2026 15:09:27
If Barcola and Mbaye join (as is being said on the rumours page), we can have a strike force of Barcola, Rio, Munoz, Mbaye and Isak. Add Wirtz, who can play on the left, also. Add Ekitike 6+ months from now. And add Koumas whenever you need him. That strike force should scare the daylights out of everyone, because the sheer speed will be phenomenal.

So, and despite his recent good performances, I'm ambivalent whether Gakpo stays or not. If he has put in a request to move, as has been mentioned here also, then the question is already moot.

It feels, anyway, like Iraola really wants to start afresh up front.

18 Aug 2026 10:12:04
Who's up for some predictions?

PL: Can't see us higher than 3rd but we'll be a lot more entertaining and solid.
Winners: Arsenal, sigh.

CL: Quarter finals. A lot depends on the draw but I don't think we've got the squad for number seven yet.
Winners: PSG. They seem to peak at the right time and can't see them being beaten.

LC: Early knock out due to resting first team.


Winners: Chelsea. No European comps so they will have plenty of player recouperatio time to focus on this.

FA: I just have the feeling this could be ours this year. Not our main priority of course but our new players will be fully integrated, AI's tactics and fitness demands will be solidified and long term injuries back into contention.

18 Aug 2026 10:37:09
I think we'll win the league, get to at least the quarter final in the CL, but with a bit of luck the final.

The domestic cups depend on the other 2. Can't see us targeting them if we are challenging for the league and CL. Probably quarter final in both.

18 Aug 2026 10:45:07
I think 2nd in the League (Arsenal winners).

FA Cup 4th round (Chelsea winners).

Carabao Cup Quarter Finals (Arsenal winners).

Champions League winners, number 7! Ekitike coming back in around February time will be such a huge boost!

18 Aug 2026 10:48:35
Good cup run in all 3 cups, and top 4 would be ok this season.

18 Aug 2026 10:58:25
League: 3rd spot. We will go through a bad patch at some point, but I see a strong second half to the season (Winners Arsenal).

CL: Semi Finalists (Winners PSG).

FA Cup: 3rd round exit due to injury crisis round Christmas and getting Arsenal away (Winners Chelsea).



League Cup (Winners Manchester United to keep Carrick in the job as he lives up to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this season).

18 Aug 2026 11:01:55
I think we'll come 2nd and win the Champions League, and that's absolutely fine because that's the one I want this season. Iraola's football will bring the atmosphere back and that counts for a lot in that competition.

We're more than capable of winning the league as well, but it's a tough ask to expect everyone to stay fit. If we get Barcola in and a proper DM, I will change my tune. Either way though, we're adding Madrid 2027 to Madrid 2019.

18 Aug 2026 11:04:05
Honestly, it depends on the business we do before the end of the window. There'll be a lot of games this season, and the squad still feels really thin to me. Who we sign will have a big impact over the course of the season, especially when injuries come into play. If we bring in 3 players (+ replacements for those who end up leaving), then I can see 3rd minimally. If not, then 4th will be a struggle.



In cups, I can see Iraola's style having more success. CL semi-final, potentially. League Cup Quarter, as I think they'll give a lot of time to younger players. FA Cup semi-final or higher. All of these depend on us adding to the squad before the transfer window shuts. I think Iraola needs backing in the market for us to see the full potential of the system.

18 Aug 2026 11:07:00
I just want top 4 lads, everything else after that is a massive bonus.

18 Aug 2026 11:12:17
Couple of wingers and a top class CDM (Fabinho in his prime) and we have every chance to win the league.

18 Aug 2026 11:12:44
I think we finish 4th, but it will be tough and scrapping it out with Utd, Spurs and Villa! Arsenal, City and Chelsea to finish above us comfortably. Not being a killjoy, but City's and Arsenal's squads have far more depth than ours, and it's going to take time to adapt to our new playing style - I predict a fair few bumps and inconsistency in our results all season.

Chelsea will benefit massively from no Europe.



I reckon we can be a force in Europe and if we get a kind draw keeping us apart from PSG we can go a fair distance.

Although I'd love to say we are gonna be challenging for the title, I think in reality this will be a season of transition and top 4 with a decent Champions League run would be an acceptable outcome once we play decent football.

18 Aug 2026 11:17:23
No idea to be honest.
As it stands the squad is very weak with massive gaps, especially on the right flank. And we have too many players who are coasting (Macca, im looking at you).
There's going to have to be a lot of wheeling and dealing in the final stage of the window to address the issues in the squad.
That doesn't suggest we are going to win the league.
Last two league wins were with very settled squads and minimal changes in the summers before.


Plus, throw in the fact that our players will have a fair way to go to get to the fitness levels required for Iraola's tactics, then I just can't see us winning the league.
I think we will be top 4 and have a good run in all the cups and maybe win one though.

Really looking forward to watching us play exciting football again more than anything though, the amount of times I fell asleep watching Slot ball last season was ridiculous.

18 Aug 2026 11:18:16
13/2 to win the league and 12/1 to win the CL. How much is everyone betting?

18 Aug 2026 11:20:35
Prem- we just pip Assnil with one game to go- champs.

Carabao- we beat Everton in the final 4-2.

FA Cup- 1nil over Man City (Araujo gets the winner with 3 minutes to go).

CL- Liverpool Assnil final 3--1 to us. A brace for Chiesa!

What. A. Season.

18 Aug 2026 11:27:56
4th would be generous and can easily see us dropping out of the Champions League places through our inactivity this summer.

Unless you have a season where all your opponents fall off, you can't win the league if you can't defend and are weak in midfield. Unfortunately for us, we are weak in midfield, we can't defend and it's unlikely that Arsenal are going to fall off.



We'll concede too many goals and are far too weak in midfield again.

Last 32/16 of the Champions League at best, we won't win domestic cups as our squad depth is too shallow.

Another season written off under the word "transition".

18 Aug 2026 12:38:47
Predictions? Lots of ups and downs throughout the season, ride our luck in a fight for top 4. Early exit in both cups and perhaps we get as far as R16 in CL.

But really, I have no real sense other than an expectation that this will be a transition season.

So, will take the most positive outcomes possible, with the target of the bare minimum of a top 4 finish.

18 Aug 2026 12:41:05
I can't do predictions, mainly because I always think we'll win every game.

I'd be disappointed if we're not top 4.

18 Aug 2026 12:42:35
I'm with Metal Mickey on this, with occasional moves towards VV when the fatigue of the inactivity in the window kicks in.

18 Aug 2026 14:10:02
Strange as it may sound, I feel like we're in a somewhat similar position to where we were in 2004. Following a disastrous mid-season slump, we find ourselves with a new, tactically astute manager who's not afraid to make the big changes necessary to grind out results, with a style that may be more effective in European/cup games, particularly whilst the squad adjusts to the new format, rotation and intensity.

So I think top 5 and a very good Champions League run, possibly with an early exit from at least 1 domestic cup.

But my main concern is not how we do in the competitions, it's how we finish as a team.

There's going to be issues, we know that. Iraola can't iron out 12-18 months of bad coaching in a handful of weeks, so I expect a bit of a roller coaster, but by the new year I want to see some improvement in the squad's assimilation into Andoni's system, and then a vast improvement by the tail end of the season, particularly from a defensive standpoint in the midfield and with pressing as a unit.

This is one of those seasons where there's a whole lot up in the air, plenty of new managers, particularly amongst the top teams. It's going to be very interesting to see how it plays out.

18 Aug 2026 14:28:28
Top 4 and I'd be delighted.

Our midfield is too weak, and we still have the issue at Rb if Frimpong picks up an injury before Bradley is back.

Arsenal with Guimaraes, Rice and Odegaard look crazy strong, plus their defensive solidity.

No way we beat them to the PL. Even Spurs will have more bite than us with Tonali and Fernandes.

Top 4 and quarters in the CL is kind of where I think we may land.

18 Aug 2026 14:39:48
With this squad as it is, we might win a minor trophy. That's it.

18 Aug 2026 15:01:46
Historically we stink in the FA Cup, so 4th round for me. Chelsea running out winners, stopping Arsenal from doing the double.

We tend to fare better in the League Cup, so going to say quarter-finalists but dropping out by Christmas to focus on #7. Chelsea also winning the LC.

CL - winners.

EPL - 3rd. Arsenal winning at a canter.

18 Aug 2026 15:11:29
We will win. Everything. ?

18 Aug 2026 15:44:36
Jk, I have put £10 on Champs League. Got an odds booster bonus, so got 14/1.

{Ed025's Note - im good at betting WYR and i have calculated that at those odds and allowing for bonuses and price fluctuations...you have just lost £10 mate.. :)

18 Aug 2026 16:37:53
5th. I see Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea finishing above us.

FA Cup - a surprising good run, as we have not been too clever in the FA Cup apart from the Chelsea win - semi-finals at least.

Carabao - early exit.

CL - QF at best. We have not got the squad or the midfield to win old big ears.

18 Aug 2026 18:35:17
As the squads stand now, Utd will not finish ahead of us. That much I am certain of.

{Ed025's Note - i would not put money on that FM..

19 Aug 2026 07:57:39
Ah c'mon Ed.You have us ahead of City but behind Utd? ?

{Ed025's Note - im so unsure what Liverpool we will get FM, i think Maresca will struggle so im ruling out City but United improved last season and i think it will be close between you so i would not put money it mate, new manger, loss of your talisman and up to now poor recruitment could bite you in the arse mate...but we will see..

19 Aug 2026 08:39:52
The talisman you said earlier was bloody brutal last year Ed? ?your reaching buddy.Not a hope that United team finish ahead of us.

{Ed025's Note - there are no guarantees in football FM thats all im saying, you won the league 2 years ago (albeit the worst one in modern history) then added 2 £100m superstars and after a great start struggled to make the top 4, nothing is set in stone my friend..

18 Aug 2026 09:39:46
Ed001 what's your thoughts on our midfield of Gravenberch Szoboszlai and Wirtz.
Am not a fan of number 10 I feel when I think of teams with them they seem a bit too open.
I loved Klopp's midfield of a number 6 and two 8's.
You seem to get hold of the game better.
I think it's been a massive problem for United Bruno in there he has been by far there best player but there balance has always looked off.


I think Wirtz is a fantastic footballer but I feel a 433 does not suit a number 10 it's ok against weaker teams but the title winning midfield with Sobs in the 10 even with Mac in there we seemed more structurally balanced.

{Ed001's Note - I don't see an issue with it, if ever we get players who actually make the runs Wirtz needs. It just needs organisation.}

18 Aug 2026 10:41:11
Agree with Ed001 here ref the midfield not being that much of an issue. Provided Grav does what he did in 24/25 season, sitting deeper in front of the back 4, where he has looked his best for us. Dom has the legs to get up and down the pitch, box to box, Wirtz works tirelessly off the ball as well, it can work. Having outlets in the wide areas that want to get in behind defences rather than having the ball to feet more often than not will suit Wirtz 100x more. Which, for me, makes the prospect of signing Barcola and possibly Mbaye that bit more exciting.

Just my opinion and we are all entitled to them, but I think signing two direct, pacey wide forwards/wingers, whatever they're called these days, will elevate us a great deal even without a new CDM. In an ideal world we'd sign a '6' but without a mass of outgoings I can't see it happening at this stage of the window, personally.

If we get the rumoured LW and RW signings over the line, its safe to predict Isak will get so many chances where we want him to be and score plenty of 'tap ins' from in and around the 6 yard box which can turn draws into vital wins. Our defence looks much more solid than a week or so ago with Araujo and Jacquet impressing on the weekend. We may not hit the ground running, but I am quietly optimistic about the season ahead.

18 Aug 2026 10:51:39
I agree Ed, we don't have players with pace who look to run in behind so Wirtz is always left with square passes wide and Isak is always marked in the centre.

Get some fast wingers either side pulling defences about and that'll free Wirtz and Isak up.

Get the defence pushing up and holding the line closer to the midfield closing the big gap between them will allow us to get consistent pressure on the ball and win the ball higher.

18 Aug 2026 11:15:02
Not sure if they're accurate. Read it somewhere Irola doesn't like Gravenberch to play the deeper role.

18 Aug 2026 12:48:41
Interesting point on the runners Ed. Isak doesn't seem to play much on the shoulder of the last man, he's more of a goal poacher. I saw him run through for Newcastle, but lots of his goals were in the six yard box.

So if he plays the runners would more likely be whoever is out wide or Szob. Maybe Barcola can be that player, I've not really seen Rio making the runs in behind much in the way Mo used to do. Maybe Munoz.

18 Aug 2026 09:06:18
Morning All.

Everybody saying we need to buy a CDM. The midfielders we've got are more than capable of defending: Gravenburch, Dom, Macca, Nyoni, just needs tactical tweet here and there.

We are not buying a CDM. Let's stop this talk please.

18 Aug 2026 09:28:16
And, if one gets injured, we got Endo running till next year, and Curtis, who is likely to go. We definitely need to start looking at the situation, maybe not buying this window.

18 Aug 2026 09:32:01
Let's keep talk of tactical tweets over on X, please.

18 Aug 2026 09:33:37
Yeah, bit that'll cut traffic on this site dramatically!
What seems like hundreds of posters all saying the same thing, we need ............. but no one at the club listening, or at least not letting us know.

18 Aug 2026 09:43:32
@strad, He listed 4 players for 2 positions. If 1 gets injured, there would still be 3 and that is not counting Endo and Jones. I would love us to bring in another quality deep lying midfielder, but unless one of those 4 (i.e. Macca) leaves, it is not as big a priority as getting a couple of wingers in. We currently have no right-wingers and are being forced to play left-wingers out of position.

There was a need to fill holes in the squad (CB, RB cover and wingers) before looking to upgrade our current options in the squad.

Our scouts will always be scouting players for all positions, so there will always be options on the table. I'm sure whoever comes in to replace Hughes will sit down with Iraola and discuss what is needed in January and beyond.

18 Aug 2026 09:45:10
No, they are not. Macca flopped in that role from the time of Jurgen. Gravenberch only works if there is a press, and he could turn on with the ball. He is a ball carrier. Szoobo is just an engine. Absolutely not, one has positional sense. Us not signing doesn't change it.

18 Aug 2026 09:48:29
5 players to play 3 positions over 60 games in an intense setup.

Yep can't see anything wrong with that.

18 Aug 2026 10:17:14
@shipley, Going into this season AI going to use 4-2-3-1, 2 midfielders are Szoboszlai and Grav/Macca, and the 3 is 2 wingers with Wirtz in the middle.

Therefore, Jones or his successor will be getting sub minutes if no-one is injured. When injuries inevitably strike, we gonna have to hope Harvey is half decent and Endo puts in decent performances.

18 Aug 2026 10:20:24
I think the problem with the set of midfielders u have named, Torben, is that they're just not aggressive enough. Only 1 that seems to relish a 50/50 is Macca, and he is just too slow to actually get there in 1st place.

I like all 4 players u have named, when they're on their game and playing well, they, imo, 4 v good players, but I think that group lack balance.
Add a defensive minded midfielder who plays with aggression, and we in business.

18 Aug 2026 10:20:57
I'm no mathematician, but Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Nyoni, Endo, Wirtz and McConnell are 7 players, not 5.

That's also assuming Jones, Elliott and Bajcetic all leave (which looks likely to be fair).

18 Aug 2026 10:56:13
Ideally we would need a proper 6 (Sadiki or Camara). If we do get one, we have enough midfielders to cover while he gets sorted and ready.

Not sure if you noticed, Macca was playing a sort of deep-lying playmaker, pinging long passes to the wings. Probably remodelling his gameplay to suit Iraola's style (and raise his value for January).



So yeah, 7 midfielders for 3 spots is plenty and enough. Agree with the need to tweak based on personnel and opposition. But still hoping for a midfield destroyer to shore up and protect our defence.

{Ed001's Note - Sadiki is not a 6. Xhaka is the 6 at Sunderland.}

18 Aug 2026 12:24:56
@strad, OP was specifically talking about the 2 in that 4-2-3-1 formation, and there are 4 players who can play in that 2, excluding Endo, Jones, Bajcetic, plus any U21s who Iraola might want to give a chance to.

My point was purely that we have loads of midfielders (just because you might not rate them doesn't mean that they don't exist, and for all you know they may be rated as good enough cover by Iraola), but we didn't have enough defenders, and we still don't have enough wingers, and whilst it would be nice to upgrade some of those midfield options, it is currently far more important that we sign players for those positions where we have no options.



Let's not forget that this current midfield won the league just over 12 months ago, so it just makes sense to fix the actual problems in the squad rather than the perceived ones that people obsess over on here.

18 Aug 2026 08:45:05
Reports that PSG have dropped their asking price to £110m for Barcola?

Wonder if they could get a BOGOF offer for Mbaye?

18 Aug 2026 09:06:13
I just feel like it will if we do get both, be a combined fee of 150M, PSG can then say they got 120 or so for Barcola and 30m for Mbaye, or whatever way they want to word it, and shows we got a good deal on one of the players by getting both, so win win for both parties.

18 Aug 2026 09:57:20
Euro120m including add-ons for Barcola.

18 Aug 2026 09:46:44
Tell who, The people on Twitter?

18 Aug 2026 08:23:24
Fair point about maybe being abit more hush hush about my source. Because he was so blase about talking about it and how he knows, and never saying to not share this, I assumed it would be ok to pass it on. However, now wondering whether the Liverpool bigwigs will be reading this has made me worry ??‍♂️. However, I have reassured my friend that should he face any consequence because of this, I'm happy to take in him and his family and I'll provide as best as I can for them.



Onto how he knows, apparently his department get given profiles to gather recovery and training information on in preparation for if they arrive, and when it needs to be completed by, hence the end of the transfer window, and why Yildez name has been branded around.

I'll keep you updated on any other transfer murmurings aswell as to whether I'm suddenly having to take on a second and potentially third job in order to provide for his family.

Much love.

18 Aug 2026 08:37:42
Brilliant Ron.

18 Aug 2026 08:44:29
Not sure I've ever seen Macca, Carra, Fields, Robbo, Victor, Ned and other real ITKs use Chat GPT to defend any of their info.

18 Aug 2026 08:43:45
You're poor mate if this is true you just threw him under the second wheel of that bus he's under now. I think you've been taken off the contacts list thekid.

18 Aug 2026 08:58:58
Just under 3 weeks until the schools go back!

18 Aug 2026 09:06:34
Because of you, your contact has gone from

"In the know" to "on the doll".

Shocking work, mate.

18 Aug 2026 09:16:37
Former LFC employee here.

My sauce was mustard, which I no longer have.

I will have to go back to my dry cleaning business now, although I didn't have many returning customers before. Hopefully I'll be taken more seriously this time. If you see my business about, please show some support.

It's Blase Blazers.

18 Aug 2026 09:36:41
From being "the source" to being "on the sauce". Who needs enemies...

18 Aug 2026 10:38:20
I'll throw yer a tenner a week, lad, if that helps them settle after being hounded out of their house, not an itk, just reporting something that I've been told.

18 Aug 2026 11:10:21
I wouldn't worry about The Physio, the club haven't added any first team physios since 2024, so the original unedited post must be false info.

18 Aug 2026 03:13:03
The lack of a RB is shocking from the club. I cannot believe it!
Bradley is erratic and extremely injury prone.
Frimpong is not a RB at all.
Ramsey needs selling to the Scottish Highland Leagues coz that’s his level when he can stay fit.


Araujo is a CB and has spent only a little amount of time playing RB.
Kayode, Kounde were there for the taking, but we didn’t move and I guarantee this will remain our biggest weakness this season.

18 Aug 2026 08:00:30.
From what I saw on Sunday, Frimpong did quite well and could be suited to the new way of playing under Iraola. Whilst I'm firmly in the camp of improving that position, if possible, I'd be equally as happy if we could get someone working well from within the squad, would allow money to be spent elsewhere.

18 Aug 2026 08:10:43
Agree, Johnny
Sometimes people seem to forget that the job of the coach is to improve players. Frimpong has good attributes that can be developed into a decent right back. Z Trent couldn't defend, but no one was saying let's get rid and buy a right back.

18 Aug 2026 08:10:49
Funny, Frimpong is a rb who has played in 2 of the best leagues in world football, and for clubs at the top end of those leagues.
Sure, he might be more of an attacking wing back, but that's his position.


Staying fit would be more of a concern after last year. I don't know where people got the info from that he can't play rb, because he didn't stay fit long enough to see him play there.

18 Aug 2026 08:17:44
I wouldn't describe Bradley as "erratic", to be fair. He's been unlucky with his last injury, but I feel he has the potential to be a very good player. As others have said above, isn't it the job of the coach to make the players better?

18 Aug 2026 08:23:53
Football is about partnerships and team mates working well in tandem. Frimpong looked back to his best next to Jacquet and Araujo. His best game in a red shirt.

Maybe what we're about to see is that our right backs have been taking the flak all along for Konate being the actual problem?

18 Aug 2026 08:38:09
Been saying that all along, Shughes.

Also, the lack of midfield protection last season, MK.

VVD can no longer single-handedly dominate like he used to, but he's still a damn good CB compared to what's available out there, just needs more help than he used to get.

I think we should sign a top class CDM. You can buy any defender in the world, but if your midfield is poor then teams will cut us through at will.

I always wanted Palestra, but if Frimpong keeps putting in those kinds of performances, we can all sleep easy on the RB front.

@WHNDM, Can we just rake it for granted that you want us to sign a DM? Reading the same thing posted every 15 minutes is overkill.

I really don't understand the Ramsay hatred on these forums. Did we need to buy him? Almost certainly not. Is he amazing either offensively or defensively? Again, not really. He's hardly played for us yet people seem to think he's awful.

Some might say there's a reason he hasn't played much and that's fair, but judge with your eyes. Every time I've seen him play in red, he's hardly put a foot wrong. Seems a capable, albeit very average and unexciting full back to me.

Ramsey's fine as a third choice and, when Bradley comes back, he'll be back up to Frimpong. I don't know why OP is so frustrated, especially after the performance he had vs Como.

18 Aug 2026 11:20:21
Ramsay is a League 1 player imo. He didn't get many games on loan for League 1 clubs even when he was available & healthy.

18 Aug 2026 11:29:57
Because it was v Como, that's why.

Kayode signed a new contract and Kounde hasn't moved anywhere, how exactly were they both "right there"? It would easily have been £60m+ for either of them, which would have completely changed our budget for wingers, and then you have Bradley coming back, not getting a game, and being sold on the cheap.

Scanlon starting for Cardiff tonight vs Wrexham.

Mbaye agrees five year deal.

Ok, random sentence time...

Gakpo hasn't signed for Spurs.
