I see Chelsea are keeping an eye on Nwaneri contract situation at Arsenal. Do you know if any Liverpool interest Ed? Due to Sakas age I don’t see how he gets that RW spot at Arsenal but he could be a brilliant Salah successor.
{Ed001's Note - I don't know sorry.}
1.) 06 Jul 2025 16:45:10
Seems like they are buying Madueke from Chelsea too. Seems odd buying him to have Saka Madueke and Nwaneri all vying for one position.
2.) 06 Jul 2025 17:00:11
Honestly think the kids a decent little player but can’t help but think the Arsenal youth are mad overrated. Cannot bring myself to rate the myles Lewis skelly kid.
3.) 06 Jul 2025 17:19:12
Arsenal youth are not over rated. If anything they are not rated by arteta at all much to the angst of arsenal supporters and staff.
4.) 06 Jul 2025 17:43:15
Arsenal are fully stocked now
They don’t lose many games to be after these latest two signings id put them as favourites.
5.) 07 Jul 2025 12:18:33
Myles Lewis-Shelley is a remarkably talented young player.
Is Specsavers still open?
11 Apr 2025 14:04:13
Ekitike scored a great goal last night and his general play was ok. You can see he is very talented with quick feet but he’s not physical at all. I reckon he needs another year at least before he’s ready to start for one of Europes best teams. £65m seems risky but I guess the worry is the price will only go up.
1.) 11 Apr 2025 15:15:15
It's interesting, I'd never seen him play until we got linked with him. Now I think after watching him the player he most resembles is Alexander isak.
When Bobby left isak was available for about 60m or so but people thought he would be too lightweight for premier league. Turns out centre of gravity is more important than muscle mass and isak does fine.
I don't think ekitike would be a 25 goal a season player, but 20 is achievable in the right team and under the right manager for the same reasons isak is doing it.
2.) 11 Apr 2025 15:29:17
He really isn't physical in the slightest, he is tall but not good in the air, he is more of a quick and skilful forward who loves taking people on and dribbling but does not welcome duels or contact. I would not think that he's the sort of striker that we necessarily need, he thrives in transition and running at defenders in open space.
3.) 11 Apr 2025 15:30:27
Yeah not very physical mate.
Big worry for me is the lack of pace. You’ve got to have one or the other in abundance for this league. Seems a very average striker. Not what we need right now.
4.) 11 Apr 2025 15:51:48
If we are going to see both Nunez and Jota go and the club see etikite as one of the options then I’d ideally want the other to have had PL experience. If we can get good money for Jota and Nunez then perhaps invest in Cunha and etikite - different types of players. I’d also not be averse to Delap either as I think he could turn into a very good player.
5.) 11 Apr 2025 16:06:48
I only watched 20 mins seen the goal not putting the kid down after 20 mins just looked like a skinny gakpo .
6.) 11 Apr 2025 17:19:12
Don't want to douse anyone's fires but both Barcelona and psg (the standouts in champs league this season) don't play with big powerful forwards. Both play with a bunch of skinny kids and are tearing it up.
Salah himself was a 'skinny lightweight kid) when he arrived
You don't need to be fast or powerful, you need to read the game well and have good movement. When Ronaldo (Brasil) lost his pace after knee surgeries he relied on excellent reading and movement. Some players were never fast or powerful (baggio being a good example) and did fine.
The idea everyone needs to be a giant who can run fast is narrow-minded to me. Traore is both powerful and fast - anyone want to sign him?
7.) 11 Apr 2025 17:38:07
Isak isn't big but he is strong and holds his own in the box. I don't think we need a big bruiser but we need somebody who is strong and offers presence in the box, can handle contact and attack crosses. Isak can do that as well as the cute technical stuff, that's why he is an elite number 9. We don't have a striker who can occupy the back line by offering something in the box and who is constantly looking to run in behind, which makes our attack that much more predictable.
8.) 11 Apr 2025 18:18:09
Still think we should sign Liam Delap, on an 8 year contract.
9.) 11 Apr 2025 20:01:43
100% agree with scouse_john.
Gakpo v 2.0.
10.) 11 Apr 2025 20:15:04
Langland - I watched Delap at a Hull game last season and remember thinking he is one to watch. He is going to be very good and will no doubt score lots of goals in the right side.
11.) 11 Apr 2025 21:06:18
Don’t need big powerful centre backs in the Spanish or French league either …. but it certainly helps in the prem.
12.) 12 Apr 2025 01:57:05
Also nevada, I'm pretty sure lewandowski is barca's center forward lol, hardly a skinny kid.
13.) 12 Apr 2025 03:55:10
I agree with Ron and Patrick
We should look at Delap as he will be one for the future.
Question in summer is do we buy a older established striker like Nunez and try and convert him from the style of play he is already comfortably playing to our style OR buy a young player and mould him to our way?
I think Delap playing for us will flourish, will score more goals and also hold the ball up for other players too. 22yrs old, played 30 games this season and scored 12 in a less than mediocre team, he would do well in most teams. Doesn't Man City have first refusal on him though?
14.) 12 Apr 2025 06:14:46
You could get Cunha for a similar price and he has proven he can do it in the league already - that’d be the smart signing in my opinion.
15.) 12 Apr 2025 06:54:01
I would much rather get Cunha at release clause price quoted.
16.) 12 Apr 2025 07:35:36
@Patrick he's not a skinny kid but he's very slow and not massive either.
Messi and maradona were both midgets and not turbo speed (but not slow) I guess my point is that we place way too much emphasis on physical attributes in England. It's the reason the national team never wins. Spain wouldn't think twice about picking a slow small forward with excellent technical abilities. Xavi was pretty small and slow yet ran the game from the most congested area on the pitch.
17.) 12 Apr 2025 09:14:00
He is not good enough. Lanky with no pace. Not good enough for a dynamic side like ours.
18.) 12 Apr 2025 10:52:40
Is there such a thing as a number 9 in contemporary football who is small and slow with excellent technical abilities? Because that's what we're talking about here, so maradona, xavi and Messi are not really that relevant. Spain often picked morata up front, who is good in the air, has pace, offers great work rate making dummy runs and constantly getting in the channels, he isn't an excellent finisher or anything but he has number 9 qualities. Torres was the standout 9 for them for many years and he was hardly small, slow or weak (okay, you can say villa was small and skilful, but he also excelled in dropping deeper outside the box to create for others), in fact he was pretty much the exact opposite in all three regards.
Lewandowski is one of the elite players of the last decade inside the box, his presence is such that defenders are always scared to death that he's inside the box or making a run in behind into the box, Barcelona have scored a lot of goals this year because he's made space for others simply by running into the box.
My point is not that we need a hulk who can run very fast (although incidentally I think the player hulk himself was a top player who was great on the world stage and could have played for huge clubs if he wasn't so obsessed with money) but somebody who can handle contact in the box and provide us with presence and a focal point up front.
It's not really rocket science, look at how city play without haaland, they are like half the team (of course that's because pep has made them so reliant on him being in the box), look at arsenal struggling without a number 9 who can attack balls coming into the box, look at Chelsea without Jackson throwing himself about, pressing from the front, running tirelessly and making a nuisance of himself physically.
As for England's focus on physicality, I don't know how true that really is, the likes of Saka, Trent and Bellingham are surely as good as anybody from a technical standpoint, the reason why they haven't performed in recent tournaments doesn't have all that much to do with technical level as far as I can tell.
19.) 12 Apr 2025 10:57:51
I should also say that I'm not knocking ekitike, I have watched him quite a few times honestly and I'm not sure the isak comparison is that accurate. Firstly we don't know how ekitike would do in a team that doesn't put an emphasis on transitional football first of all, and secondly he might look like isak in terms of profile, he is tall and skilfull and relatively quick, he can drift into wide positions or occupy central ones, he likes taking defenders on, but physically he does not offer what isak does off the ball. That is my point and I:m not sure why that should be controversial.
20.) 12 Apr 2025 17:24:35
I agree with Seano. For the reported release clause of circa £65M, you get a Premiership proven striker who would fit seamlessly into our side. It's a no-brainer.
22 Mar 2025 12:45:41
Are we interested in Cherki? We were linked a few months ago. He’s been brilliant for Lyon and fills a huge void we’d have in terms of creativity, If Trent leaves especially. Watched England and France u21s and he was a million miles above every other player on the pitch and that includes a lot of very good players.
1.) 22 Mar 2025 14:34:17
Under 21 game though. Not really an indicator of how he’d do on a cold November evening at Stoke/ Burnley.
2.) 22 Mar 2025 15:13:54
Seems like there are concerns are about whether he has the mentality and consistency for the very top level.
He is certainly blessed with the technical skills.
Someone will take a chance on him. After that it is up to him.
He is very young (21) to be fair to him.
3.) 23 Mar 2025 17:14:50
Viktor are we getting relegated?
Why do we need to worry about Stoke or Burnley?
Cherki is a very skilful player, good control and could be a good addition at a relatively low cost. He can only be the best on the pitch by showing some of that skill and ability.
08 Feb 2025 21:32:02
Is Ousmane Dembele still of any interest or has that gone with Klopp? Hitting his peak years now playing as a number 9, one of the best forwards in the world this year.
1.) 08 Feb 2025 21:58:06
Klopp target, just like Adama Traore was!
2.) 08 Feb 2025 23:31:42
Lazy injury prone waster, scoring a few goals against some French sheep farmers doesn’t change that.
3.) 08 Feb 2025 23:44:09
Is it 2016 again? I wish it was! He's 28 by summer, contract with PSG, is finally achieving his potential. Come on, it's a non-starter.
4.) 09 Feb 2025 00:45:18
Barcola is the one. Serious talent and built for English football that kid.
5.) 09 Feb 2025 00:55:43
One of the best forwards in the world this year? We're not halfway through February yet!
I'll never forget his contribution to Barcelona only beating us 3-0 in the semi when we won the CL though.
He missed a sitter to make it four and had that been Messi or Suarez things could have been very different.
6.) 09 Feb 2025 03:13:14
His appearances over the years read 42, 9, 44, 32, 35, 42 and already 27 this season. Seems to play plenty. This year meaning this season ? That Barcola looks brilliant they seem to have a very good team now. Despite how good Messi Neymar Mbappe etc were it always felt like they were individuals rather than a team. Maybe Dembele is one to file with Traore and Sarr.
7.) 09 Feb 2025 04:53:54
Internet troll calls a man that’s won the World Cup, 4 league titles, numerous domestic cups and earned millions of pounds a waster. Hilarious. He’s 27 and he’s achieved more in his life than you ever will.
8.) 09 Feb 2025 08:57:14
In fairness thunderbird Jack Grealish has won more in his lifetime than I ever will. He's still a waster.
But I get your point.
9.) 09 Feb 2025 10:42:16
Being a waster was partying for my entire first time at university and failing everything, meaning I had to do it again and get even more in debt.
I seriously wish I was as big a waster as Grealish and Dembele combined.
10.) 09 Feb 2025 12:10:44
Dembele Fanclub js out in force I see. Just so you know, he isn’t going to shag you lads.
11.) 09 Feb 2025 12:13:19
Barcola looks great but will probably never play for liverpool.
12.) 09 Feb 2025 12:30:24
That's a bit out of order Viktor. Just because some people don't agree with you doesn't give you the right to be rude.
13.) 09 Feb 2025 14:08:36
I don’t care about Dembele, I hope he never plays for Liverpool but your a person who spends their whole day on what is basically an internet chat room and you’re calling another human being a waster. Have some self awareness.
15 Jul 2024 00:25:41
I've been in Cork over the weekend. Liverpool and other English clubs apparently had scouts here the other night to watch Cathal O'Sullivan.17 years old and been lighting up the league of Ireland lately.
1.) 15 Jul 2024 08:47:33
League of Ireland First Division. About Conference North standard I'd say.
He does look a player and he is only 17 though. Kid has to start somewhere.
2.) 15 Jul 2024 11:46:35
First division yes sorry was a typo. But as you say he’s 17 has to start somewhere and came through there. He can’t move to England this summer and Cork will go up so he’ll have a season at a slightly higher standard.

Is that Charlie Cresswell someone we should be looking at? Been good all tournament for the u21s. Plays for Toulouse but still home grown.
1.) 28 Jun 2025 23:49:20
I don't think he is better than Quansah, and we couldn't find a place for him either in our team. With most young players, its the same issue, they need to play to realise their potential. The two best players for England have been Harvey and Elliot Anderson, and even Harvey doesn't get a look in sadly.
2.) 29 Jun 2025 00:06:18
I don't think so.
3.) 29 Jun 2025 10:08:20
Love it, Quansah who was here since he was 5 wasnt good enough but why don't we have a look at his inferior u21 (which apparently is Championship standard) centreback partner.
4.) 29 Jun 2025 09:04:19
Newcastle must have been gutted to have to sell Anderson.
What an engine
Drove England through that match until he had nothing left in the tank.
20 Jun 2025 23:28:15
It’s only hit me watching Wirtz’s interview that new signings don’t do press conferences with the manager after signing anymore. Used to be a big thing pre social media era.
1.) 21 Jun 2025 00:27:22
Slot is still on a bender in Ibiza lol.
08 Jun 2025 16:03:48
I wonder if Leverkusen are holding out for a bigger fee from us seeing as we got Frimpong for probably 20m less than he’s worth.
1.) 08 Jun 2025 16:18:28
They are taking us to cleaners.
We should just pay up the asking price and close this drama now.
I know you might not like if we as fans say it but if the same came from Ed02, most of us would keep calm.
Imagine the time and resources being wasted and finally agreeing to the asking rate.
2.) 08 Jun 2025 16:24:12
Apparently the sticking point is we’ve offered them 100 mill cash and another 100 mill if he assists Darwin with 10 goals or 10 onside pass receives.
Dortmund weren’t buying it.
3.) 08 Jun 2025 16:36:14
Good on them I say, get what you can for your best player! Did we expect them to accept the first offer? That'd be stupid. They want what that value him for and who can blame them? We'll get him, people need to chill out, he wants us and we want him. Leverkusen knows this, an agreement will happen.
4.) 08 Jun 2025 16:42:06
Without sales and Frimpong and Kerkez lined up we probably can’t afford “the asking price”.
It’s not just the transfer fee, it’s wages and place for non-homegrown in the squad.
5.) 08 Jun 2025 16:55:09
That’s right Sami - let’s just give everyone what they want straight away. Thankfully you’re not running the finances of Liverpool (or any business I hope. )
6.) 08 Jun 2025 17:15:59
It's a forum rule: if there are no dramas, we need to create one.
7.) 08 Jun 2025 17:35:15
I’m currently stood in Asda.
My weekly shop has come to £120 but I’ve offered them £76.
I’m hoping once these non burly security guards p#ss off they’ll accept £81.
8.) 08 Jun 2025 17:35:31
Ignore the noise around it as best as possible, all these pages want is clicks and ‘Wirtz almost done’ for the 10th time isn’t going to generate much. Plus most put the fact there is a gap between the news of a bid going in and no announcement as a sign.
So they guess and with these things they have a 50/ 50 hit rate.
I’d be more nervous if there was noise around others entering the race or if he wasn’t on international duty.
9.) 08 Jun 2025 18:39:42
Clearly a very slow day on this forum so what do we do? We create drama when there isn't any.
10.) 08 Jun 2025 20:01:05
JK23 I believe you'll find it's called "the Asda" ?.
11.) 08 Jun 2025 23:11:10
Bit of a strange comparison there JK. Things in supermarkets have a set price and we all know that so we pay it or we don’t buy it.
Football players don’t have a set price so negotiating is normal. Even if they did have a set price they don’t have a barcode so you wouldn’t be able to scan them on the self service till.
Perhaps that’s what the hold up is. We are still in the queue for the one cashier that’s open (Tracey) because we can’t find the barcode. Or we are standing at the self service till with the machine saying ‘someone is coming to help you’ but we are looking around and the person who’s supposed to be working on the self service till is chatting with Rachel from the deli counter.
05 Jun 2025 22:42:42
That Cherki is an unbelievable player. I think even with Wirtz on the way he’d be brilliant signing if we could hijack his City move.
1.) 05 Jun 2025 22:53:11
I still believe we made a mistake with that lad.
2.) 05 Jun 2025 23:19:43
Genuine question Ugbes, if you could have only one, Wirtz or Cherki?
3.) 06 Jun 2025 00:28:07
Playing good for your country does not translate to playing good for your club.
Surely we have learnt from the salif diao and diouf days to not buy based on international matches.
4.) 06 Jun 2025 00:50:53
Cherki has been playing well for his club tho RedScarface.
5.) 06 Jun 2025 06:50:36
Wirtz.
6.) 06 Jun 2025 07:26:37
This is ridiculous they are not on the same level, Wirtz is miles clear. Cherki will start on fire then just fade away, Wirtz will get double his numbers easily.
7.) 06 Jun 2025 07:46:32
Buy Cherki too and sell Elliott. We will regret not going for him too at that price.
8.) 06 Jun 2025 08:09:28
I wouldn't worry too much about Cherki. Pep will coach the fun out of him and ensure he sticks with his 'pass the other team to death' football. He's ruined Grealish and will do the same to Cherki.
9.) 06 Jun 2025 08:22:45
Grealish was an average size fish in a small pond before he went to City. He’s always not been good enough.
10.) 06 Jun 2025 09:31:36
Markp08 IMO, so City had a chance to pick btw Cherki and Wirtz and focused on getting Wirtz first BUT suddenly cos Wirtz rejected City and came to us and Cherki (City's sloppy seconds) is of to City then, it must mean we made a mistake and should have signed Cherki instead? Wow, that's some stuff right there. Seriously if people want to us to do our transfers thru the prism of what City do then, that's on them. Absolute madness.
First off, both Cherki and Wirtz are different players, IMO. In terms of an old school no. 10, Wirtz is the best around and proved it in the Bundesliga as two-time Bundesliga MVP over the past two seasons. Wirtz is the best no. 10 on the market by all accounts I've read, not Cherki so why would reject the best just to sign someone who isn't the best? Again, let me know if you can make any sense of that.
@Footyfan to answer your question personally, there is no way on this earth I would pick Cherki over Wirtz in the 10 and Im glad we didn't do that.
11.) 06 Jun 2025 10:26:14
Talent wise there isn't much between wirtz and cherki, cherki might even be ahead in terms of pure technique. Cherki can do anything he wants with a football (but then again, as Stevie g said, so could Joe cole) In terms of mentality, work ethic, attitude, wirtz is absolute light years apart. He is a player who wants the ball constantly, who fights for the ball and fights to get on the ball non stop.
Cherki could well become a very good player but he could just as likely turn out to be an awful signing, for all his talent he didn't start quite a few games for lyon the last few seasons because of clashes with coaches. This season he improved a lot in terms of output but Lyon fans aren't desperate to keep him, is that not a sign of something?
I would say cherki is the kind of signing we would have made a season or two ago, he is very talented and has upside if it works out and the cost isn't prohibitive. But it was also the kind of signing we made because players like wirtz weren't available to us. Maybe we should stop indulging in FOMO since city was forced to settle for their (and our) plan b?
12.) 06 Jun 2025 12:34:55
Patrick you're easily my favorite poster on here bar none btw. (Apart from ed001)
19 May 2025 18:02:17
Has there ever been a more nailed on signing than Kerkez? Feels like we all knew we’d be going for him since well before Christmas.
08 Jul 2025 01:50:30
Diaz is first choice ahead of Gakpo. Fofana would be behind Gakpo. Diaz to Fofana is a downgrade. Rodrygo, Barcola, Leao, Rogers all look like better players I think. Kvarashkelia was the one we missed out on big time.
06 Jul 2025 19:27:23
I wouldn’t sell him to bring in some young player that’s not as good as him. If he goes it has to mean a top player is coming in. Diaz is great but Kane is a far far better player he’d definitely get 30 goals for us the next few seasons. It won’t happen but why are so many against the thought of it?
01 Jul 2025 16:04:56
I reckon he’s the one we go for once Nunez leaves. We need a Jota replacement too though not sure how you convince a good striker to join when they won’t be first choice. Probably need a versatile player who can play other positions. Ekitike costing less than Isak probably makes that easier too.
01 Jul 2025 16:03:17
I think Alisson/ Mamardashvilli will be like when Chelsea had Cech/ Courtois at the same time. Mamardashvilli will sooner or later takeover.
01 Jul 2025 00:14:05
Rodryo or Morgan Rogers please and thank you.
19 Jun 2025 23:43:58
We made 60m from Carvalho, Clark and Van den berg last summer. Spent 39m on Mamardashvilli and Chiesa. 10 for Trent. 12 for Kelleher. 35 for Quansah. Still every chance any of Robertson, Gomez, Tsimikas, Beck, Bajcetic, Morton, Elliott, Doak, Koumas, Darwin, Diaz, Chiesa, Jota leave, There’s huge money to be made and spent this summer.
15 Jun 2025 21:36:44
The Romero rumours started with IndyKaila ? probably best to forget about that one.
14 Jun 2025 23:08:43
The dressing room stuff is a myth. It was an excuse used for Henderson and Milner when they were past their best and we haven’t missed either of them one bit.
14 Jun 2025 23:05:53
Go on a high with a medal around his neck and for a fee rather than spend a year on the bench or putting in more performances below his own standards. He deserves to go on a high. Tsimikas’ contract runs until 2027 so we could still get a fee for him next year if he stayed as cover for Kerkez and he’s on smaller wages than Robbo too.
12 Jun 2025 21:56:05
I think Diaz is probably better than Barcola but he’s 6 years older with 2 years left on his contract. Don’t think he’ll get a new one getting a good fee for him this summer would be good business although Saudi might offer a good fee even with 1 year left in 12 months.
