So, Rob Page, the U21's boss, has revealed that Jayden Danns will be out until the next year.
Feel for the lad as he has been absolutely hampered by injuries, which are apparently based around his body growing. I recall this happened with Gerrard, Bradley and Jones. A real shame as Danns does seem to have that build and quality to be a viable options as striker. Although, now that I say that, with Ekitike and Isak vying for the position, Danns will be in for one hell of a fight. These injuries certainly aren't helping his case, as he misses training time where Slot can analyse and improve his game.
Hopefully the last significant injury he picks up.

I had high hopes for the lad and still do, but the injuries are really setting him back. He’s only 19, but these constant injuries are robbing him of the chance to show what he can do. Hopefully he’s back in the new year, though I reckon a loan move next season is likely. Sadly, it’s starting to look more and more unlikely that things will work out for him at Liverpool.

Hello all,
Been doing some digging on the transfer front, this is what i can tell you.
There is a bit of a difference of opinion going on at the club right now but nothing to be concerned about.
Winter is likely to be quiet (unless a good opportunity opens up somewhere in the market) . The eventuality for this summer, as it stands will be one of Upamecano or Guehi in on a free and one of Schlotterbeck or Lukeba in as a more marquee re-enforcement.
Konate still won't sign a extension even after meeting all the demands and obstacles thrown at us, however if he does have a change of heart we will leave the room for Guehi/ Upamecano. A club decision.
There is a MASSIVE suggestion from people at LFC that Slot doesn't particularly rate Ibou as much as others do and would want him replaced this summer regardless. His ideal situation is to have four ball playing centre backs at the club competing.
Be interesting to see what happens there.
A wide forward is still being looked at and Adam Wharton could replace Alexis Mac Allister next summer if the player gets his move to Real Madrid as a Modric replacement.
Ta.

Cheers, Carra.
All sounds pretty feasible.
I imagine the difference of opinion could be related to either the fullback profiles or whether to renew Ibou.

15 Oct 2025 14:27:49
Excellent Carra. Wharton and Schlotterbeck would be excellent additions.

Upamecano and Lukeba, especially the former, aren't good enough for us. Upamecano is about a quarter as good as Konate in my opinion.
3
15 Oct 2025 16:54:08
Agree, Upamecano is a clumsy defender, poor choice
Diomande is better, Guehi, Lacroix, Schlotterback all better in fact.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool have held initial talks over the potential signing of Nico Schlotterback from Borussia Dortmund. Liverpool have a genuine interest in the German defender. Talks are at an early stage but a respected agency is working on the potential transfer. Liverpool have an interest in a number of centre back candidates.

11 Oct 2025 20:19:11
Arne will slot Schlotterback in at the back 👍.
21
11 Oct 2025 21:21:12
Very good on the ball I think that’s what Slot wants from his CBs. Virgil is fantastic and Guehi is really good on the ball too so made sense. Konate isn’t. His strengths were always covering big spaces behind Trent and winning headers if teams went direct. Left footer too always helps.
10
12 Oct 2025 02:34:33
OneKiss - Virgil isn't anywhere near as good on the ball as he used to be. Virgil is not the defender he used to be. Very much on a downward trajectory now.
Come at me.

12 Oct 2025 03:40:13
That is absolute nonsense. He is the best passing defender in the world, his passing range is a huge part of the way we play. He can carry or hit a huge diagonal across the field, or evade a pressing forwards with ease. As a defender he is still comfortably the best in the prem, who's better in terms of overall skill set? Saliba? I don't think he's at the same level.
Folks always put bastoni up there with Virgil and bastoni is probably on the same level on the ball and contributing to the team in possession but Virgil is twice the defender bastoni is.
19
12 Oct 2025 07:28:14
He may well be in decline, but he’s still comfortably the best defender around.
13
{Ed078's Note - amongst the best I'd say. 2 years ago, the standout CB on the planet.
10
12 Oct 2025 08:54:03
Posting come at me is ridiculously pathetic at trying to bait people into a argument 😂😂, even if you think he is on the decline he’s still top 5 in the world.
12
12 Oct 2025 18:45:43
Come at me?
Obviously trolling. Virgil is still one of the best centre backs in the world.

LFC are already rubbishattheback!
Is this the same top five defender in the world that has this season run away from Bournemouth's Semenyo when scoring in LFCs first home game of the season, and the last game versus Chelsea Reserves with reference to Caicedo opening goal!
Gave Palace an equaliser in the FA Community Shield from the penalty spot for a needless challenge!
Part of a defence that gave away two goal leads in games versus Bournemouth eventually won, newcastle eventually won, and atletico madrid eventually redeemed by his header from a corner (92 mins)?
Never been one to sit on the Fence, always been trained to shoot straight from the Hip, have already made my Premier League Winners prediction for this season:
The Premier League Winners for 2025-26 will "DEFINITELY", One Hundred Percent Nailed on! come from the English City with the first "CAPITAL" Letter beginning with an "L".
I can't be more clear or straight forward than that prediction?

Name 5 current CB's 007 that you would choose over VVD.

Unless Carra or Fields or Macca confirm it’s still a rumour. Yes I know it’s a rumours site.

come at me? brother, what you do at your keyboard in the privacy of your own home is for you only
:D
I really like Schlotterback but like Sule better.
Either way, good player to be linked with.
Interestingly was looking at bundesliga stats and noticed that the aerial duels contested are much lower compared to PL.

You might want to go back and watch Virgil's passing performance in the Arsenal game and then get back to us, Brisbane. Some of the passes he made in that game were incredible for a midfielder, never mind a CB.
Schlotterbeck is a brilliant player and his left footed progression (long and short) is probably the best out there. I would be seriously worried about his injury record though. Thanks to Arteta and Howe, the physicality of the Premier League seems to have gone up another notch.
2
13 Oct 2025 13:10:39
FlyPelicanFly, exactly. For me, he is the only CB I have seen dictate a game from CB. Majestic performance. You can add Newcastle to that as well.
Or @Brisbane can go watch VVD's passing ability from last season where Slot improved this aspect of his game massively. Matip for me, was the best of our lot on the ball and passing wise. VVD improved a lot last season esp. with his line-breaking passes and has kept it going this season.
It seems @FlyPelicanFly has had a right 'mare here, IMO. As for the BVB lad, haven't seen that much of him. Maybe I'll keep an I on him whenever BVB are playing moving forw.

God these 007 posts are a tough read. A good reminder to check your mental health periodically.

This is a banter site n it sometimes funny hearing ppls different views on players etc . but on this topic 99.9% agree the VVD is still one of the best defenders about n his passing range is still fantastic. as for 0.1% well a visit to Specsavers is well overdue.

Hi Ed001,
Given the injury to Leoni, do you think we'll dip into the January transfer window for defensive cover?
Cheers
Drogie.

{Ed001's Note - we would have been doing that anyway, it is Konate's abysmal play that is the cause.}
23
11 Oct 2025 10:35:19
Why is it that Joe Gomez isn’t getting a chance to play when he is fit?
Quansah was off at half time last seasons first match. Konate is playing worse than him every week….
10
11 Oct 2025 11:29:24
What do you think is going on with Konate Ed001? is it a tweak in the system or do you think he's dropped his level because his heads elsewhere?
1
{Ed001's Note - his head is not in it and he was never that outstanding anyway.}
20
11 Oct 2025 12:05:13
I wondered too if Gomez might be an answer, I know he’s had many more injuries over many years, but before that he and Virg where thought to be one of the best CB partnerships
When he does step in, he seems more nervous of making an error, but maybe there is still the player in there?
ED001 always mentions about giving players regular playing time when new or after injury to get into rhythm. Could that be a way back to his old self, or has too much passed?
Possibly a better solution to Konate the way he is playing?
Cheers.

If he's made up his mind to go to Madrid fine but i just can't understand why they can't just knuckle down and give their usual level for their remaining time. This is why i said all summer we couldn't have another Trent situation ever again and was hit with"Arne is not going to cut his nose off to spite his face". Funny thing is if Ibou carries on this form for most of the season Madrid'll take him because he's free but there's no way he'll be going there as anything else than a squad player.
1
11 Oct 2025 15:18:30
if konate keeps playing like this, will real madrid want him? there are a few free agents coming up this year and konate is not doing himself any favours here.
2
11 Oct 2025 15:22:21
The eternal hope of Joe Gomez stepping in to recreate the first half of the 19/ 20 season never ceases to amaze me.
Joe is a great lad but let's be honest, Slot is likely not starting him because of the probability of injury is too high, leaving bench defensive options even shorter.
Ibou is definitely a problem at the moment. Yes, he's got some headloss moments in his game - much like what Lovren was criticised for, but I think we should also be fair to mention that (i) Slot's preferred build up approach puts Ibou under pressure given he's not really a ball playing CB and that (ii) it's entirely possible that like Mo, he's also deeply affected by the Diogo tragedy.
Equally, I might be totally wrong and Real Madrid has infected his mind and game.
5
11 Oct 2025 16:17:24
Joe should be getting his chance now Konate has pulled out of the France squad with injury.
4
11 Oct 2025 17:27:08
Reality is that both Konate and Gomez are made of crisps, and with Konate also being so out of form and Leoni out long term, it is sensible to bring someone else in during the January window. We can’t have a situation where midfield is compromised by playing Gravenberch as a centre back like we did with Fabinho in 20/ 21 as that was a mess.
3
12 Oct 2025 09:12:09
Agrees Viktor. Gomez was a good defender back in the 19/ 20 season but he hasn't kicked on now. To rely on him and Konate doe the rest of the season would be risky. It's just a shame that we had a long term injury to Leoni since he looked to be a very capable CB.
I still think we'd go back for Guehi since him being HG is going to be valuable for us. I'd still wager we need one more CB as a replacement for Vvd for when he eventually leaves but maybe we'll leave that for the summer.
2
12 Oct 2025 20:31:22
I wonder if Guehi will go for Real now they are interested. Apprently his closest friends are from L4 and Manny.

12 Oct 2025 21:26:20
Trents game dropped off the last season with us he is struggling to get his form back and struggling to get in madrid side and England and konate will suffer the same fate YNWA.
2
13 Oct 2025 01:08:40
Gomez no matter what we think has got to be a better cb than Endo or grav?
3
13 Oct 2025 13:13:54
Pelican, I don't know if that is what people want. For me, I think people just want another CB to have a go cos Konate's form is up and down and Im being very nice here.
I just think Joe should be getting his chance (esp. with Leoni out the way he is) Konate has not shown he should deserve to keep his place and well, we got no one else right now. And no, I ain't having Grav at CB right now. No way.

Liverpool’s recruitment team are stepping up their pursuit of defensive reinforcements, with Club Brugge’s Joel Ordonez emerging as a serious target ahead of the January transfer window. The 21-year-old Ecuadorian has attracted growing attention from several European clubs, and Liverpool’s scouts have been among the most active observers.
Senior sources close to the club have confirmed that Liverpool scouts attended Club Brugge’s recent 1–0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise, where Ordonez was the primary focus of their visit. The young centre-back’s composure, positional intelligence and ability to play out from the back have been key factors in Liverpool’s renewed interest.
While the Merseyside side initially had no plans to invest heavily in a defender this winter, Marc Guehi’s failed move from Crystal Palace last summer — combined with Giovanni Leoni’s long-term injury — has reshaped their priorities. The club’s recruitment department is said to be reassessing the balance of Arne Slot’s defensive options as the January window approaches.
23
11 Oct 2025 12:02:12
Could and should have got him in the summer. He’s like Caicedo at CB. Ecuador are producing some incredible defensive talent!

13 Oct 2025 13:14:49
Could have sworn we were linked with him even last season in a random rumour I read somewhere.

Hello Ed001, please what do you think about the RUMOUR that there is an unrest in the dressing room because of the new players on mega deals while last season winners did not get their just due in terms of new deals.
2
{Ed001's Note - I very much doubt it. Frimpong etc are not on mega deals and a lot of the new guys will be negotiating a new deal soon anyway.}

08 Oct 2025 15:55:07
Sounds like Konate and Real manipulating the media to me.
13
08 Oct 2025 16:43:48
😂 what else can we get away with blaming Konate for?
11
08 Oct 2025 17:34:16
extremely poor displays, it kind of mirrors Trent from last season, most people know that he is off to Real end of season, with a huge signing on fee .
5
08 Oct 2025 19:44:11
We don't know that he's leaving but if he is I'm sure we'll find a more than suitable replacement. I'm ok with that.

08 Oct 2025 20:48:30
I was thinking we could blame the Kennedy Assassination on him livered? Some degree of Time Travel would have to be involved, but I'm sure some people would buy it.
Jokes aside, the bloke has been bloody awful this season. Kinda hard to get away from that.

Duolingo the language learning app shared that konate is learning spanish. seemed real but might have been fake.

In a high performing team, do you expect everyone to go buddy buddy? Ot course there will be friction, part of the corporate culture.

Get a better agent or move.

09 Oct 2025 09:23:31
All I'm saying is that Konate is on a significantly lower wage than what he is seeking. He's turned down £220k a week hasn't he? There's an imbalance there. Go Jomez is on more than him and Fede is about double. Hugo's come in new and is on just under three times the amaount Konate is on.

Liss,
As someone who looks after French students for months every year I can confirm most of them speak Spanish as well as English, most have Italian and some German too.

Smart arses!

10 Oct 2025 07:18:16
I think the dressing room could be discussing about defensive responsibilities, tracking back. A few players do not track back emg Salah. Wirtz does but in previous position in Leverkusen he does not. And frimpong is not really defender, he is wing back. Seriously not many options out there for RB who can defend and attack well.

11 Oct 2025 03:26:20
@BTS, what about that lad at Real Madrid?

11 Oct 2025 09:29:56
Konate is just playing to his level. He is inconsistent and so far this season he has consistently remained inconsistent.
0
11 Oct 2025 12:53:19
Konate better hope RM are keen because on form he won't be getting an improved offer from us.
1
13 Oct 2025 13:16:56
Red_Flyer69 as I've asked before, are RM even that interested in Konate like a priority option? That, I doubt, cos when it was Trent, RM via their mouthpieces made that known to anyone who had ears and eys.
