Has our interest in Hato cooled?
1.) 04 May 2025 12:40:09
Hope not, maybe an under the radar signing.
2.) 04 May 2025 12:53:00
He’s not really what you’d call under the radar. According to De Telegraaf Chelsea have started negotiations to sign him so given previous recent history he’ll probably go there for a seven year prison sentence.
3.) 04 May 2025 13:43:37
I suspect it's all about priorities. Sounds like we like him, but might not see him as an immediate solution.
Chelsea have Colwill and Cucurella is one of their better players, so not quite sure what they want to do with Hato other than horde young players.
4.) 05 May 2025 10:05:51
In all fairness Viktor, the players that we are going to be linked with are going to be linked with other top clubs as well. It's extremely unlikely that we are going to be linked with a completely unknown player that other clubs would not go for. So to suggest that a player is not coming to us because of links to other clubs is a bit shortsighted.
08 Apr 2025 15:04:47
Any interest in Gittens sounds like he’s going to be leaving Dortmund.
1.) 08 Apr 2025 15:50:20
He seems to have a higher ceiling than Gordon, and we are going to need English players when trent, Elliott and Gomez leave.
2.) 08 Apr 2025 16:19:29
Gittens will not be HG, Vango. He's been in Dortmund since he was 16 and he will be 20/ 21 (birthday in August) by the time he joins another team.
Although he will qualify as U21 for the 25-26 season, after that he will be non-HG, unfortunately.
3.) 08 Apr 2025 16:04:45
Gittens will not count as homegrown player!
4.) 08 Apr 2025 16:33:57
Sorry, he signed for Dortmund on his 17th birthday and he will be signing for his next club a month or so before his 21st. Either way, he won't have spent 3 years between the ages of 16-21 at an English club, which is what you need to qualify as HG.
5.) 08 Apr 2025 16:40:36
He is a very good player with a lot of potential. He has also already been linked to us by a few media outlets, would probably depend on our ability to move someone on (namely Diaz if that is the plan) .
6.) 08 Apr 2025 17:33:20
Zeddicus - Thanks for clearing that up. Looks good from the little i've seen. City's academy has been somewhat of a production line, it seems.
7.) 08 Apr 2025 18:01:01
Looks like he has a high ceiling, definitely shown enough and has the raw materials. But would he hinder Ngumoha? We seem to rate him very highly, I know Ngumoha is 16 but Gittens is only 20 himself. Still in favour of the signing. If Diaz does leave we would be short a wide receiver who just run at the opposition so I would be open to it.
8.) 08 Apr 2025 18:43:16
Tbf we shouldn’t worry too much about HG quota since Slot doesn’t seem to care about using more than around 15-18 players.
9.) 08 Apr 2025 22:40:03
Strong Jadon Sancho vibes, feels like a £80m+ mistake for some poor chump. No thanks.
17 Mar 2025 21:34:35
VVD to PSG god could it get any worse!
Scenario of losing all 3 is getting more significant.
{Ed025's Note - VVD to PSG? OMG.. :)
1.) 17 Mar 2025 21:57:03
€80m over two years, €20m up front, apparently.
If he goes (and let’s face it, that’s a lot of money who can blame him, any of us in our own professional careers would take a new role for more money), the blame only goes one way.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 23:11:17
I find it hilarious that the same posters who are pooh-poohing stories from ‘tabloid websites’ linking us with Mbappe, Bellingham etc are quite happy to take these tabloid websites word as gospel when it comes to negative stories about us.
3.) 17 Mar 2025 23:54:53
Will any replacement not cost the best part of €80m and then big wages on top of that?
4.) 18 Mar 2025 00:23:16
Agreed Viktor.
5.) 18 Mar 2025 00:57:32
VVD to PSG, OMG LOL.
6.) 18 Mar 2025 06:36:06
But Onekiss, the right replacement probably won’t be 34 when the next season starts…. I’d rather keep these players but they won’t go on forever.
7.) 18 Mar 2025 07:07:41
Let me guess you’ve got that story from mr potato head on you tube, the absolute worst blurt about. Kid drives me mad.
8.) 18 Mar 2025 07:21:09
The “blame” will go to the player who has taken the decision to let his contract expire and test the market.
The club has absolutely no choice but to join that market.
I don’t “blame” anyone. He’s given the best part of his career to the Reds, we’ve won everything with him, he’s cashing in on one last big contract. Good luck to him and he’ll get a legends welcome when/ if he returns.
9.) 18 Mar 2025 10:17:50
Losing the best cb in world is a disaster. Easily 2 more seasons of top class football in him.
10.) 18 Mar 2025 10:34:08
LMFAO.
11.) 18 Mar 2025 10:47:25
I’m highly emotional post this week, I’ll take any fear mongering as gospel.
12.) 18 Mar 2025 10:50:30
Could be worse if vvd to everton and salah to man united.
13.) 18 Mar 2025 11:04:34
All part of the dance, I guess. International break. Slow news. Lots of time for media mischief. It will be a long 15 days.
14.) 18 Mar 2025 11:30:18
As VVD said on Sunday there have been no decisions made and everything is a lie until he, or the club, make an official announcement.
15.) 18 Mar 2025 11:46:17
Sorry OP, didn't mean to be sneery! I'm just not prepared to accept anything from the usual tabloid sites right now - positive or negative.
We'll hopefully be able to get the league done by the end of April, and then focus more on what is likely to be a very massive summer!
16.) 18 Mar 2025 13:21:16
VVD to PSG rumours are fabricated nonsense.
17.) 18 Mar 2025 14:29:51
I’d rather have the best CB around who’s 34/ 35 than someone not as good who’s 25. Silva, Pepe etc were still brilliant past 35.
18.) 18 Mar 2025 14:57:48
This is a story I wouldn't say is nonsense. It may well be, who knows? But it's not nonsense for a team like PSG to be interested in a player like VVD, he improves any team. I think there might be something to this story, any team getting him on a free will be laughing for the next year or two.
This is what concerns me more than anything is the three lads are all going to be getting offers from all over the place. The fact they've not agreed anything with any other club proves what Ed1 is saying - they want to stay. Get them signed up .
Last game at Anfield were going to see the three saying their goodbyes. Absolutely shocking.
19.) 18 Mar 2025 14:58:59
This is nonsense.
20.) 18 Mar 2025 15:06:16
VVD to PSG? OMG LMFAO.
21.) 18 Mar 2025 17:42:40
They should change the site name from "Rumours" to "Absolute Gospel" with the number of people who believe the worst they read on here.
Comical stuff.
22.) 18 Mar 2025 22:38:14
just putting it out there - besides Trent due to his age, but the market isn't exactly on fire given these 3 are on the market.
23.) 19 Mar 2025 11:45:53
Panic on the streets of Merseyside
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ.
12 Feb 2025 10:32:53
Sounds like we’re in for a massive overhaul of our forward line!
Seems like we should expect Diaz, Nunez and Jota to all leave as well as potentially Salah given the continuous lack of signing (although if rumours are true and they are holding back until end of season for Trent maybe it’s fine)
1.) 12 Feb 2025 12:21:19
Diaz lacks end product
Jota is made of biscuits
And Nunez it just hasn’t worked out for him but out the 3 he would be the one I’d keep as he never lacks effort .
All 3 if we are honest can be upgraded.
2.) 12 Feb 2025 12:23:53
I'm not sure we should 'expect' them to leave. It's possible that any of the 4 may leave but with the exception of Mo it will only be if the right offer comes in and the right replacement is available.
3.) 12 Feb 2025 15:38:39
We should be replacing them 1-2 at a time, giving the replacement time to bed in, and keep the continuity.
If Gakpo / Chiesa stays
Salah? / Diaz / Nunez / Jota leave
Replacing 3-4 of them at 1 go? Honesty I have no confidence in Hughes / the club to pull it off.
My worry is that we will let 3-4 go and only bring in 1-2 players. that will reduce our depth from 6 to 4.
Even if we win the league / CL this season, we should be strengthening from a position of strength, instead of overhauling the whole team, considering we will definitely need reinforcement in LB, DM, CB and potentially RB if Trent leave. That makes it 7-8 players required.
We should be looking at 2-3 top class players each season at maximum, players that can come in and really challenge for the 1st eleven, so that current players are being kept on their toes.
4.) 12 Feb 2025 16:01:59
Why would you not have any confidence in Hughes/ club not pulling it off. LFC are considered one of the best teams in Europe and a few days ago fans on here were worried about meeting Bournemouth a team Hughes was instrumental in assembling.
5.) 12 Feb 2025 17:08:22
Wirralean - my main worry wouldn’t actually be with Hughes himself (has in past shown the ability to uncover a gem ) more I don’t think financially we can compete for the absolutely top 1% of players. Aside from getting a player who can step up a level or two, the “bigger” names like Gyokeres, Retegui, Wirtz, Bastoni, or even N Williams (who I personally don’t rate) would have wage offers far above what I think they club would be willing to offer, and that’s IF they were open to moving.
Mean could get in perhaps more players on lower wages who potentially could improve or flourish in Slot’s system - but if did have to bring in say 3-5 if we can’t renew contracts would be a worry…. but I would have never predicted our season so far so wouldn’t be at all surprised if made us better.
6.) 12 Feb 2025 16:50:02
Wirralean - Finally someone with some sense.
7.) 12 Feb 2025 17:04:22
Before we decide to get rid of most of our forwards don’t we need a CDM, a (L) CB and a LB. If Mo goes we need a starter to play on the right side of the forward three and then we could look at replacing Jota and / or Nunez.
Worst case, we need to bring six starters into the first team squad ……. Would all those who think FSG don’t spend money and that Hughes doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing like to join in …. ‘Oh no we won’t’.
8.) 12 Feb 2025 17:33:20
I'd not be too upset if Diaz left, he offers next to nothing. I always thought of him as Sadio Manes replacement but he couldn't tie Sadios boots, no where near the same output in any respect.
Unfortunately i don't trust Hughes' ability to competently replace any of them either.
11 Sep 2024 10:36:27
Ed’s what’s your gut saying on the 3 of trend VVD and Salah with regards to contracts vs what do you THINK we should do?
{Ed002's Note - I think that Liverpool should have found out their intentions and dealt with the contracts before the transfer window opened. I suspect that Alexander-Arnold will be attracted by a move to Real Madrid. Salah could potentially run down his contract and look to the Middle East next summer - I think it will largely depend on what financial demands he has to renew at Liverpool; but they will continue to look for a replacement. I expect van Dijk to renew if financial demands are met.}
1.) 11 Sep 2024 17:16:15
I do appreciate your input ed02 but I don't agree with much of what you've said there. As a local lad I think Trent will not be lured by Real when he will probably captain his ho hometown club and have a chance to win everything with us still. Salah and Virgil too competitive to go to a retirement league at this stage and seem to want to stay. Obviously the club will have to offer them what they want or close to it but I think all 3 will stay. I'm not an exoert by any means but reading between the lines with all 3 I think that's what will happen if the club want to keep them, which I hope they do.
2.) 11 Sep 2024 18:05:48
Hughes is still looking for the agents numbers!
3.) 11 Sep 2024 21:16:49
You can never be 100% sure until signing but club and players feel likely all 3 will renew. Mo and Virg on c2 year deals and Trent longer and paid as one of top players at club.
4.) 11 Sep 2024 21:42:23
Ah yes, Hughes = bad. A mind like a steel trap - once a thought gets in there, there is no chance of it ever getting out eh?
5.) 11 Sep 2024 22:49:46
I have the same opinion on this as ed. The club should have sorted this months ago and lessons must be learnt. WDW this is a banter/ rumours site, if you don’t like it don’t comment.
6.) 11 Sep 2024 22:39:45
Hi Ed, I understand if you won't indulge me with this one, but worth asking.
Has the club made any real effort to renew Trent in the past 12 months? I can understand them allowing Salah and van Dijk to run into the last year of their contract on account of their age (although I think they both still have plenty to offer), but Trent is 25.
It would appear to be a major blunder from the club to allow his contract enter its last 12 months in this manner.
{Ed002's Note - No, that is what they are doing now.}
7.) 12 Sep 2024 09:23:29
Yes the club should've got it sorted sooner but I'd imagine after Klopp announced his departure, and the changes at senior management level, that VVD, Mo and Trent would've wanted to see how things were under the new structure before signing.
8.) 12 Sep 2024 14:09:46
@Mark, are you saying people should only post if they agree with the post in question? You and the Ed and anybody else, including me, are entitled to your / their / my opinion. Just because you agree with someone doesn’t make it right, per se, and equally, just because I disagree doesn’t make my opinion right either. That’s the fun of it all. In this instance it isn’t so much an opinion about contracts, even though I disagree with you, it is more about the tedious repetition that Hughes is a ‘bad thing’. It may or may not be a valid point of view but just saying the same negative thing repeatedly is actually detracting from any point of view that you are trying to make.
9.) 12 Sep 2024 20:12:46
Is Hughes the new scapegoat for the Doom Crew now?
The Southern Red's banter posts with other poster's replies to The Southern Red's banter posts
09 May 2025 14:05:37
Not a rumour from somewhere but I would not be surprised if we moved Chiesa in with a loan to buy to a club in Italy and then replaced him with frimpong who’d cover both back up RW and compete RB.
1.) 09 May 2025 15:49:06
Reckon Fede may choose to stay in the UK.
2.) 09 May 2025 18:16:44
Johnny, I think @Southern has a point and I was thinking about this today. Chiesa knows there is a bus that's about to leave the station next summer to the WC at the end of next season and trust me, "Peppo" wants to be on that bus, for sure.
Hence if he will be holding bench like he did this season, staying is not an option for him therefore, he is going to have to leave to get regular footie to get a seat on that bus, either on loan or on a permanent move. We will have to see which one it will be. Just my take.
3.) 09 May 2025 18:44:00
His song is a full on banger. I’d keep him just for that ?.
08 May 2025 10:45:31
Whilst silly season is in full swing, wanted to revert back to my favourite topic youth talent!
Who are we expecting to breakthrough next year? Or do we think there will be any surprise packages?
Obviously Rio, Trey, Jayden and James Mconnell are the standouts but I’m looking forward to Kieran Morrison and Trent Doherty.
1.) 08 May 2025 11:25:59
Nallo, Nyoni, Trent-Doherty and James McConnell are probably ready for loans next season.
Rio is probably too young and will benefit from another year in and around the squad.
Danns - injuries have set him back a year. Ideally he would have been coming back to preseason off the back of a good loan and making a case for the squad. I suppose it'll be another attempt at a loan next year unless he does something incredible in preseason.
Morrison - is there a contract renewal issue? If that is resolved, a good loan is the likely next step.
Not sure if there's any that will make a surprise breakout. But then that wouldn't be a surprise would it? .
2.) 08 May 2025 11:40:22
I think Morrison will leave permanenly to Germany this summer.
3.) 08 May 2025 12:00:24
Doherty is going to be a top player as Mersin would say.
4.) 08 May 2025 16:32:55
Ngumoha is set to be playing for England in this summers Euro u17,might take it by storm. Hopefully Danns can stay fit, a natural goalscorer.
5.) 08 May 2025 19:02:15
In hindsight we may have been better keeping Danns for the rest of last season at LFC, and sending Nunez out on loan to Sunderland!
No one has really come through this season from the academies Calum Scanlon promising 20 year old left back, played in all the pre-season USA tour games under Arne, was on loan at Millwall but only played four games and scored one goal, then got a serious hamstring injury early Feb and won't play another game this season, looks likely he will be moved on.
6.) 09 May 2025 09:57:06
Danns has been injured so hope he just focuses on getting fit for pre season.
06 May 2025 12:14:06
Well enough of that Right Back, who’s going to be the new vice captain? Surely Salah.
1.) 06 May 2025 12:29:31
Has to be Mo.
2.) 06 May 2025 12:35:28
Macca.
3.) 06 May 2025 12:46:07
I would honestly like it to be Macca because he possess a number of qualities of a leader, for me. However, no issue with giving it to Salah. I'm not a big fan of giving the captaincy to offensive players because I feel they don't need distractions and should focus on how they can support the team, rather than how they can motivate the players around them.
Robbo would have been my first choice, but his form has fallen off a cliff these last 2 years. So, probably best to just let him focus on re-finding his form. Plus, not entirely sure he will be our first choice left back next season.
4.) 06 May 2025 12:52:17
Has to be Mo or Ali. Macca or Dom contenders when some of the old guard move on.
5.) 06 May 2025 12:57:11
Ali would be my choice as vice. However I’d have no issue with any of the above players mentioned.
6.) 06 May 2025 13:20:46
Robbo if he sticks around?
7.) 06 May 2025 13:29:28
Alisson or Salah for me.
8.) 06 May 2025 14:52:50
Ali for me, no brainer!
9.) 06 May 2025 15:22:39
AB1 or Salah.
10.) 07 May 2025 03:40:50
If you want someone who epitomises what you’d like to see in terms of commitment to the cause you’d go Curtis or Harvey, if only they could get game time.
23 Apr 2025 12:48:42
With the €5m payment being flagged for Nunez and him unlikely playing rest of the season, do you think that would have a negative impact on resale value.
1.) 23 Apr 2025 12:58:40
I’ve read it’s only if he starts. He’s currently on 49 starts.
It’s a shame because I know any day now we were going to see him hit his potential.
{Ed001's Note - it feels a bit like Del Boy telling Rodney they will be millionaires.}
2.) 23 Apr 2025 13:13:59
I felt the minute nunez missed that open goal at villa park his season was more r less over. I couldn't see him having the mental strength to recover from it.
3.) 23 Apr 2025 13:14:21
There is a player in there, JK.
It's the team, the set up, the tactics, the fact that we speak English and play with a football that are the problems.
4.) 23 Apr 2025 13:23:21
Proposal: Straight swap Nunez for Hojlund.
I'll get my coat.
5.) 23 Apr 2025 13:38:16
?? nice one Ed001.
6.) 23 Apr 2025 13:41:23
Nice one ED001 ! :-)
7.) 23 Apr 2025 13:53:05
Haha Ed001 love it.
I’ll be honest I’d like to see Nunez and Jota bag a couple of goals each before the season ends.
I definitely think Nunez will be off in the summer and wouldn’t be surprised to see Jota off as well.
8.) 23 Apr 2025 14:06:41
I think Nunez's form dipped after he got sent off against Palace.
9.) 23 Apr 2025 14:49:49
Nunez just has never been good enough, we needed to sell last summer.
10.) 23 Apr 2025 15:25:06
I'd like to see Nunez play a part in the last few games. It'd be good to see him get booked and caught offside a few more times even if it does cost the club €5million.
11.) 23 Apr 2025 16:16:19
We should start him at weekend, next game he will come good! And we'll see we should give him a new contract instead of flogging him. Mark my words, he just has to get that confidence and he'll be fine. ;) .
12.) 23 Apr 2025 16:29:37
Wise words there Salah, oh right you where kidding.
13.) 23 Apr 2025 23:11:11
As I’ve been saying for three years Nunez just isn’t a good footballer. Jurgen and Pep had a giant MOTD Fever moment in our two matches against Benfica in the CL. The only game he’s stood out in for me (from memory) was the game against Newcastle. I just think he is not good enough to play at the top level. This isn’t new by the way - go back and look at my contribution on here about him over the past three years.
I’d keep Jota of the two of them (although I’d prefer both to be replaced) . If Jota was to stay I’d use him as an impact player off the bench for the last 20 minutes if ever we needed a goal.
23 Apr 2025 12:30:26
Is Huijsen dependent on Konate being sold or potentially additive?
Can see him wanting to be a starter.
1.) 23 Apr 2025 13:34:17
Probably both scenarios.
2.) 23 Apr 2025 13:42:44
I think Huijsen is left sided cb so he would probably be seen as a long term Virgil replacement as opposed to Konate. I could be completely wrong on that tho.
3.) 23 Apr 2025 13:12:19
We need another CB as Quansah isn't anywhere near good enough and should be sold.
4.) 23 Apr 2025 13:59:14
Spanish press are reporting that Huijsen is most likely going to Chelsea, and that Madrid and ourselves aren’t in contention, apparently Madrid don’t fancy paying the transfer fee which sounds about right.
5.) 23 Apr 2025 15:06:57
And you really believe that? Huijsen is a Liverpool signing all over, every journo reporting we're in for him, Hughes has contacts at Bournemouth and he has a release clause. To me he seems like the most likely signing of anybody we've been linked with as a long term successor for Virgil.
6.) 23 Apr 2025 15:41:01
Cant see us not wanting him at £50m, the boys top class and at that price is a no brainer.
7.) 23 Apr 2025 16:30:03
He won't happen as Salah has no belief in Hughes, so as Salah says where screwed.
8.) 24 Apr 2025 03:59:13
Kloppofthenortheast, do refresh my memory - when exactly did I say we were screwed? You’re right about Hughes though. I’ve got about as much faith in him as a chocolate teapot in a heatwave. Summer will be the judge of that. Credit where it’s due, you nailed that bit, shame about your spelling but you'll get there - no doubts about it ? 1/ 3 isn't too bad, try harder next time ?.
9.) 24 Apr 2025 14:01:32
Genuine question, @Salah, why do you have no faith in Hughes?
10.) 24 Apr 2025 15:59:09
The real question is Wdw, why should I have faith in Hughes? He’s yet to prove anything, and while this could all be part of a larger plan, we’re still left guessing. If the strategy was for Slot to take a year checking out the squad, why were we trying to sign players last summer?
Take the goalkeeper situation - Hughes brought in someone we didn’t need, and even if we did, is he genuinely good enough? I don't think so. Then there was the gamble on an injury-prone player whose best days are clearly behind him.
The squad wasn’t strengthened at all. Yes, we ended up winning the league, but Hughes couldn’t have known that would happen back in the summer. From that perspective, he took unnecessary risks and failed to do his job both in the summer and again in January.
If he delivers this summer, I’ll gladly admit I was wrong. But based on what we’ve seen so far, I just don’t see it happening.
The Southern Red's rumour replies
15 May 2025 13:48:06
Curious to see who could afford him and would want to move, PSG or Madrid?
13 May 2025 09:08:57
Assume the price, HV status and ability to play multiple positions is pushing him above some of our other targets - especially given RB isn’t a high priority for us.
10 May 2025 19:24:34
They wrapped this up a few months ago, probably a great signing just not what they need.
09 May 2025 16:44:00
Bloody alonso going to Madrid and building a legacy.
07 May 2025 21:29:52
Thought he was still undecided? Unless you’re thinking of the other player City bought.

Danns has been injured so hope he just focuses on getting fit for pre season.

Bajcetic seems to have improved second half of the season back in Spain, I think there has been an improvement in form and attitude - it’s up to him to show he can be something in the team next season.
Equally he’s only 20 I wouldn’t be against him going out for a full season and joining a higher team in Spain and get that experience maybe with some form of Europe.

Saw John Henry slip Hughes a tenner after the game, make of it what you will.
