The rumours resurfacing about us after Inacio again. Any truth in these? A lot better than romero rumour.
1.) 15 Jun 2025 10:53:46
Hope so, solid left footed defender. Young, big and we've been keeping tabs on him for almost 3 seasons now.
2.) 15 Jun 2025 11:08:37
Is he really good enough for us? Hasn't impressed me much when I've watched he'd him and he has always played in a back 3.
I acctually think Romero is a good defender, his injury record isn't though.
3.) 15 Jun 2025 11:49:06
I have never seen Romero play without doing something idiotic. I'd rather give Ibou half a mill a week than go anywhere near Romero.
4.) 15 Jun 2025 12:25:04
I really can’t see us paying that much for a defender who plays in VVDs position.
I expect Virg to be a starter through all of next season so why would a £40m+ defender be happy to warm the bench most of the season before a WC?
More likely to get a RCBif Konate goes.
5.) 15 Jun 2025 12:50:48
Erm! whose advice of Romero would you choose? his fellow World Cup Winner Alexis Mac Allister and current EPL Champion or a random poster's views!
"You cannot be Serious" half a million pounds wages a week for a central defender! when the man next to him is the current Captain of the Club, and on a lot less than half a million a week!
6.) 15 Jun 2025 13:42:22
No. im not serious 007,would have thought that was fairly obvious. Was just trying to get the idea of how much i would be against this transfer across. And as for McAllister, anyone who plays in front of Virgil every 3 or 4 days yet thinks Romero is the best centreback in the world probably isn't the greatest football mind on the planet. I don't care hiw many WC's he's won he is a poor poor player.
7.) 15 Jun 2025 14:31:08
2 red cards and 26 yellows in 100 PL appearances for Spurs. Not as bad as I thought, but still not good.
8.) 15 Jun 2025 15:04:36
I’d love to understand when a player is linked to Liverpool do people look at think:
Does he fit what we do?
Who misses out?
Has he been successful at his current club?
Does he fit the Liverpool profile?
Is this an area we need to strengthen?
Could he upset the dynamic of the side?
Does he fit the “no Di (kheads” policy?
Are there red flags?
Or is it simply a case of “new player = good/ exciting” because Romero is a walking bag of red flags to me.
9.) 15 Jun 2025 15:34:24
I don’t think it matters what fans think. In the grand scheme of things it will have zero effect on what Hughes and Slot choose to do.
10.) 15 Jun 2025 15:49:43
For me you have your solid first teamers, a few fringe players and the rest has to come from your academy.
First teamers have to rotate. Supplemented by finger players.
That’s why you need the likes of Curtis, he’ll be ok as a fringe player as well as getting some starts.
11.) 15 Jun 2025 15:51:18
No, I’m just genuinely intrigued by how people think about these things.
Right now we have the best team in the league and adding a player means a league winner loses games. Who is good enough to take games off league winners.
Frimpong, Kerkez and Maria all replace players leaving/ left. Wirtz is that one off you can’t ignore.
Anyone else is a hard business case.
12.) 15 Jun 2025 16:20:39
? Mariaaaaa you’ve got to see her,
Go insane and out of your mind ?.
13.) 15 Jun 2025 16:52:43
Everywhere at the top level you have a core of 17 first teamers.
Then there is some reliable cover.
Then you have academy players.
It’s the Sith rule of two ideally. A master in the role and an apprentice who wants the role.
Slot has been clear he tends to play his GK, CB and Six as often as possible in the big games (Premier League and CL) the rest of the team (bar Mo) is rotatable. Curt tended to get CL games over Mac this year.
That’s why the 36 man uber squads don’t work. Having too many great players not playing makes a dressing room potentially toxic.
It’s why Endo is a managers dream.
14.) 15 Jun 2025 16:59:47
Inácio is really quick and this unfortunately for a lot of quick players makes them heavily reliant on speed and other aspects of their game falter because speed bails them out.
Pass for me.
15.) 15 Jun 2025 18:16:57
Ron, I can count on one hand how many finger players we have.
If we brought Firmino back would he be Fingerbobs?
16.) 15 Jun 2025 21:04:58
Interestingly Konate has made 82 total prem apps since signing for the 21/ 22 (11,18,22,31 apps) season divided by the total number of prem games in those four seasons gives him 53% prem games over the last four seasons.
Romero has made 100 apps over those four seasons (22,27,33,18 apps) which is 65% prem games over 4 seasons.
The above facts/ figures indicate Romero has a better premier appearances record than Konate, Romero has also scored 7 prem goals to Konates solitary prem league goal.
@Florian Musiala, Alexis has one world cup, and one EPL winners medal and a Carabou winners medal, and i'm not being serious how many do you have? and obviously i'm not preferring Konate/ VVD over Romero! but all LFC posters know someone who does?
17.) 15 Jun 2025 22:34:09
Konate hasn’t always been first choice 007 as we had Matip.
It’s a bit disingenuous to compare the appearances of a player who was bought as a young up and coming CB and has worked his way into the team to an experienced CB who has been first choice since he signed.
Romero is Macca’s mate so he’s going to say he’s amazing. He’s biased. The rest of us who actually look as his ability know that he’s an absolute liability.
18.) 15 Jun 2025 23:18:02
Isn't Van de Ven the better of the 2 Spurs CBs?
If the staff could get his hamstrings to come good for his crazy speed, then I'd take him.
With all that being said, I trust the transfer staff more with the decision than any of us. they haven't got a lot wrong over the last few years.
19.) 15 Jun 2025 23:36:42
Exactly Robbo, Matip and Ibou were competing with each other to play with Virg the 1st coupla seasons and Matip, like Ibou was a far better player than Romero.
20.) 15 Jun 2025 23:49:29
Damn no real mention of ISAK he is the one i want, then Gyokeres. , Follwed by Alvarez, Ohmisen, martinez last.
21.) 16 Jun 2025 01:50:45
Christ, I'm getting old. Took me way too long to figure out who Maria is.
22.) 16 Jun 2025 05:35:32
Van de Ven is a sprinter, not a footballer. He's fast and he sprints a lot but that's mostly because he is way out of position and needs to get back.
Maybe Romero looks poor because he has to cover for such a poor defender next to him. Or it's also possible that the system Ange played put too much pressure on the defence. Not saying that Romero is a great defender though, since I rarely watch Spurs play. Just putting out other possible alternative explanations for his poor plays.
23.) 16 Jun 2025 08:40:54
Romero is a better centre back than Inacio.
I think premier league watching fans over-rate European players over their own sometimes.
If you don’t watch someone closely every week you don’t see then make any mistakes or do-no-wrong.
You just see a reputation as the next best thing, some YouTube highlight reels, and online fan fare that they’re going to be great.
Most posters on here watching Portuguese league football week in week out? Almost definitely not.
09 Jun 2025 19:51:17
Rumour that Darwin has turned down Saudi offer as he wants to stay in europe.
1.) 09 Jun 2025 19:54:28
I have a source who says Milan could come knocking as they look to rebuild. Keep that to yourself.
2.) 09 Jun 2025 20:20:42
Davey does his name rhyme with Shakira?
3.) 09 Jun 2025 20:12:30
Makes sense. Red Bird and all.
4.) 09 Jun 2025 21:08:18
I've heard a rumour that Davey's hips don't lie.
18 May 2025 21:35:37
Have we any interest in Viktor Gyökeres at all? Now he's been made available for around 65 million euros?
1.) 18 May 2025 23:50:36
As our loved Ed002 used to say, please use the search function : ) . He's Likely off to Arsenal on a 5 year deal.
2.) 19 May 2025 03:05:07
He is no better than N in next, not good enough for Liverpool
Cunha to replace Jota and Johnathan David to replace Nunez on a free makes more sense to me.
3.) 19 May 2025 04:19:24
Nunez that should have said.
4.) 19 May 2025 06:00:07
Gyokeres is miles better than Nunez. If Arsenal get him they will be hard to beat next season. I think it’s a no brainer for us to sign him if we could turn his head . Although I still think we’ll get Osimhen instead.
5.) 19 May 2025 07:50:40
He won’t be joining Liverpool.
6.) 19 May 2025 08:20:58
Gyokeres is definitely more prolific than Nunez for sure.
7.) 19 May 2025 08:50:36
@Skezzer, so was my grandma.
8.) 19 May 2025 11:12:38
I don't doubt that for one second WDW haha.
9.) 19 May 2025 11:56:28
These shout of him being no better than Nunez are insane. Also people seem to be forgetting that we don’t need a world beater up front, we just need somebody tidy enough to finish even a 20th of the chances we created because we’re so far above the rest, create so much that even a few goals would turn draws/ losses into wins.
10.) 19 May 2025 22:37:49
Hmmmm, we’ve not done too well with the last prolific striker that we got from the Portuguese league. Let’s leave this guy for Man United.
05 Mar 2025 18:21:40
Eds read a few reports saying we are interested in sesko from leipzig. Any truth or complete rubbish as usual? What's your opinion of him also. Must say he's never really impressed when I've watched him, sooner stick with Darwin in fact.
{Ed001's Note - we have watched him, but so have half of Europe, but not sure of any more than that. I don't know if he is good enough at the link up play to make him a target for us to be honest. Decent enough goalscorer though.}
1.) 06 Mar 2025 22:53:00
Ed001, do you see any possibility in Nunez and Alvarez swap plus cash? Darwin seems the perfect striker for Simeone, while Alvarez would suit Liverpool so well.
{Ed001's Note - no. None.}
15 Jan 2025 16:56:06
Lots of rumours around saying salah is going to be the highest paid player in the world by Saudi, could be BS but could see it happening.
1.) 15 Jan 2025 18:30:16
He will if he goes on free. We end up with Wilfred zaha. Opportunistic signing.
2.) 15 Jan 2025 18:31:31
It is not BS sadly. Obviously the club can't pay those crazy wages, but i still blame them for allowing it to reach this point where he is free to get these offers. So easily avoidable with an earlier deal as he so badly wanted a new fair deal to break more records and win more trophies with Liverpool. Now he can choose between 350k a week or 4 million+ a week. (to be the best paid player he'll have to exceed Ronaldo who's 39 and makes around 3.9 million £ a week)
3.) 15 Jan 2025 19:49:23
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they try and get him to fight Usyk as well.
4.) 15 Jan 2025 20:20:54
And run the Grand National.

Eds and guys. With Barcelona back in for Diaz allegedly, would you go for nico williams from bilbao? I know we have gakpo to play there also but gakpo could play back up forward also. After hopefully kerkez and wirtz are signed 1st like.
{Ed001's Note - Chiesa is best on the left....}
1.) 21 May 2025 21:12:06
Is there a good chance Barcelona get Diaz Ed?
{Ed001's Note - I think he is going to sign a new deal and stay.}
2.) 21 May 2025 21:39:30
Expect chiesa to be around Ed? Talks of napoli interested. If he stays he needs to play more then, because he's been a worse signing than thiago so far.
{Ed001's Note - yes.}
3.) 21 May 2025 21:50:48
I’ve always got the impression Diaz enjoys his football at Liverpool. Seems to me like it’s his dad driving the Barcelona nonsense.
Never been his biggest fan, but he’s improved under Arne this season. Funnily enough what he lacks, Cody has in abundance. And what Cody lacks, Diaz has bags of it. So it’s a perfect blend down the left in a Way.
05 May 2025 23:18:42
Good luck trent. Thanks for the great memories. You go enjoy yourself over there lad. We'll miss you.
1.) 06 May 2025 01:01:12
I am the only one who could care less that Trent is leaving? In fact I don’t think I’ve ever cared about any player leaving.
I support Liverpool not any particular player and I understand that they will all move on eventually.
I don’t particularly wish him well, nor do I hope he fails. Once he’s no longer wearing the red shirt I’ll concentrate on the ones who are.
I am looking forward to a more conventional, balanced system because it always seems like other players have had to change their games to accommodate Trent which has been very successful. It’ll be good to see a change of emphasis and a different dynamic. I’m looking forward to it.
2.) 06 May 2025 03:32:59
Yeah fair point. Let’s look forward. I guess people are just butt hurt cos they feel jilted.
3.) 06 May 2025 04:14:21
I am with you Robboslostlegs. Tbh, the last player I felt down about leaving us was Alonso since he was my favourite player at that time. But I don't recall caring about any player leaving since then, and that includes Trent. Don't get me wrong though, he has been a great player for us and have contributed massively to our successes in recent years. But if he wants to go, then that's the end of that story for me. The club would move past it, as it has since its formation.
I am looking forward to see how we evolve next though. It may or may not be as successful as what we have been doing but I'd still enjoy the ride regardless.
4.) 06 May 2025 06:44:25
I couldn’t believe Rushie left.
Since then I’ve not let myself get too emotionally invested in the players as a fan. Players are different to fans, it’s a career to them.
5.) 06 May 2025 07:01:57
Same as you Ron I was just devastated when Rush went but just like you I accepted that it's part of football life that players come and go. I my mind Trent is already gone just a pity that we didn't get some sort of fee for him.

05 Mar 2025 17:53:03
What score we going for tonight lads. I'm going 3-2 to us.
{Ed025's Note - 0-2 for me Magico with Slobz scoring the first goal..
1.) 05 Mar 2025 18:43:25
1-1 I think mate with us winning the second leg at Anfield 2-0.
2.) 05 Mar 2025 19:05:50
I think it’s going to be a very tough game tonight hope we win but would be happy with a draw.
3.) 05 Mar 2025 19:10:34
3-1 Salah, Mac, Van Dijk.
4.) 05 Mar 2025 19:11:19
Think we'll nick it tonight, 2-1, then finish the job at Anfield.
5.) 05 Mar 2025 19:22:48
Think the winner of this tie wins the cup to be honest.
6.) 05 Mar 2025 20:53:10
lucky to not be 3-0 down already. hopefully we tie our boots and actually try to play second half.
7.) 05 Mar 2025 18:25:03
Deffo think they'll score ed25 mate.
{Ed025's Note - Liverpool done really well Magico. But if I hear any supporters moaning about a team parking the bus or using the low block. I swear I will scream mate ?
8.) 05 Mar 2025 23:14:19
We did an Everton on them. ?.
{Ed025's Note - no you never FF, we battered you more than PSG did mate.. :)
9.) 06 Mar 2025 07:30:59
To be fair to Ed25, Everton did bust out the handbags at the end of our last match with them and did their best to batter us with them ;-)
{Ed025's Note - we do have you on our mantle piece at the moment Phil, we own Merseyside but im hoping we take it easy on you in the derby mate, we would not want to derail your push for the Premiership title now would we?.. :)
10.) 06 Mar 2025 09:33:18
Ed25, that was a perf. that Jose in his bus-parking pump would be proud of.
{Ed025's Note - it was definitely the right way to go against a very talented PSG team Oli, there is more than one way to skin a cat as they say mate..
22 Feb 2025 17:31:27
Question for ed1 and all the regulars, I know Nunez is getting a lot of stick and rightly so currently…. but would any think he’d be better suited playing 2 up front like the olden day system of partnerships like crouch and defo, Cole and York ect… Personally think he needs to go and replace him with Isak although cunha much more likely for me but still want him to succeed. Also do you think the fact we don’t seem to have a settled front 3 apart from mo is unsettling the system some how.
{Ed001's Note - yes, but it probably wouldn't be better for the team to play two up top like that. And yes, the lack of a settled front line is causing problems with the link up play. The problem is that injuries keeps unsettling it, so not a lot Slot can really do.}
1.) 22 Feb 2025 18:14:16
Apparently we’ve offered Newcastle 120 million and Nunez for Isak.
They’ve come back and countered saying they just want 120 million.
2.) 22 Feb 2025 18:29:20
Shouldn’t that be they just want £120m to take Nunez JK?
3.) 22 Feb 2025 18:34:43
Robbo ??.
I think I’ve had a few too many. Took me a few times reading that but I got there in the end.
4.) 22 Feb 2025 19:16:48
I’ve mentioned it before but would Nunez not be considered on the Left - if Diaz goes and we bring in a goal scorer does that not open the door so scoring goal pressure is off, and he can compete with Gakpo when he comes in he provides that energy, causing some chaos and providing - didn’t he play on the Left against us and was a nightmare?
5.) 22 Feb 2025 19:30:15
They put clause that say no counter offer with Jota, Jones and Eliot or Quandah either.
6.) 22 Feb 2025 19:46:16
Sofa I think it’s because Darwin is a pretty high sellable asset mate.
Of course he could be a back up left winger. But does the club want 70 mill sat around on 140k a week as a back up.
7.) 22 Feb 2025 22:24:21
The system has been perfect for him he's gotten plenty of chances when he’s played he just can’t finish them.
22 Feb 2025 17:15:50
Just out of curiosity if city won their last 13 games how many would us arsenal and Forrest have to lost for them to be champions?
1.) 22 Feb 2025 17:32:08
More chance of Darwin suddenly been able to hit the target.
2.) 22 Feb 2025 17:37:39
Magico if City did that they would finish on 83 points
If we win seven games and lose five, we would finish on 82 points
Don’t ask me about draws though, despite being as good looking as Rachel Riley her maths are far better.
{Ed001's Note - I would say you are probably closer to her in maths than you are in looks.}
3.) 22 Feb 2025 17:39:18
Funnily enough, I was just working on this calculation (well I was approaching from the pov of how many points do we need to be certain) .
If all teams in the top 7 won their remaining games (not realistic, I know as some are against each other like us and Arsenal! ) then our potential max points are 97, Arsenal and Forest 89 and 86 respectively (albeit us and Arsenal can't both get to 97/ 89!)
City's max is 83 points, and if we get a result tomorrow it will drop to either 81 or 80.
City have a game in hand on us and Arsenal atm so we'd have to drop 14 points out of our remaining 36, in fact 15 points out of the remaining 36 as our GD is much better than City's, for City to get past us. I just can't see that happening, personally.
They are also 9 points behind Arsenal (with 1 game in hand, so call it 6) and Arsenals GD is also significantly better than City's. So Arsenal would need to drop 7 points out of their remaining 36 for City to get past them.
I could see City getting past Forest if they get on a run as Forest are 3 points closer to them than Arsenal.
Still not counting any chickens until we are at least 5-6 games closer to the end of the season. If the gaps are still similar to what they are now, I will start getting a bit more confident!
4.) 22 Feb 2025 17:54:13
Haha face for radio me Ed001.
{Ed001's Note - so I heard. But you can't all be as pretty as me mate.}

Funny reply Ed1, definitely an improvement on Vorderman.
6.) 22 Feb 2025 18:16:19

Apparently Oli has a poster of you on his bedroom wall.
{Ed001's Note - and who could blame him? Slim as well.}
7.) 22 Feb 2025 18:25:24
Why are we still even talking about City? There’s some scars that take way too long to heal.
8.) 22 Feb 2025 18:40:07
I'm not getting into the 'Tris's looks' debate as you may remember you connected with me on LinkedIn many many years ago, so I do recall what you looked like!
{Ed001's Note - that explains why I deleted LinkedIn, I couldn't remember what it was, but now I remember it was a lovesick puppy stalking me on there!}
9.) 22 Feb 2025 20:12:38
Zed are you sure that was LinkedIn and not grinder ?.
19 Jun 2025 18:48:14
I believe the transfer request will be in soon enough, if we actually bid.
17 Jun 2025 17:29:07
Robbo should have scored many more goals tbh he’s always got in great positions…. great lad apart from that. Expect kerkez to score more than him though.
{Ed025's Note - Pickford has scored more than Robbo Magico..
17 Jun 2025 17:26:43
Quansah or Gomez would be of interest would they not? Even Harvey or Curtis would be better off there.
{Ed025's Note - if you threw Curtis in Magico the price for Isaac would drop from £150m to £149.9m i expect mate..
17 Jun 2025 17:17:17
Even at less than half price I think it’s a risk…. sooner keep Harvey. If we didn’t have Harvey fair enough but only at around 30m max.
14 Jun 2025 19:22:44
64 games missed through injury since he joined for spurs in 21/ 22. That isn't good. Hope we swerve that.
15 Jun 2025 18:04:32
I'd take semenyo.
11 Jun 2025 19:47:12
Was ruined that world Cup by the hideous sounds.
09 Jun 2025 20:20:26
Diaz is a much better lw forward then cody gakpo and Gordon. I like the fact Gordon desperately wants to play for us, and possibly will be the kick on he needs. Seems to offer more when he plays for England so maybe. However Diaz is up there with the very best for me.
09 Jun 2025 19:56:25
Serious question about jude, was he always a complete whining brat at dortmund also or it just since moving to real and started playing regular for England? All he seems to do these days is roll around and complain to refs and scream at his own team mates. Heard rumours dortmund were glad he left also.
{Ed025's Note - i think its just that hes highly strung Magico and that with all the media attention it went to his head mate..
09 Jun 2025 19:35:22
I hope Darwin goes this window but feel he'll be here next season unfortunately. Great guy but just hasn't worked out has he.
