Sarr In?poll

Never sign injured players.

{Ed0666's Note - I’d gladly sign Minteh now if it meant not signing Sarr.

26 Aug 2026 19:20:31
If it's Sarr or nobody, then it'd be a yes from me. Good player, surprised he didn't really kick on after his last move, maybe prefers to be a bigger fish in a small pond, which would be a worry, but we need pace badly at the mo imo.

Not Sahin again, Barry. 😁

It's a pi*s-take, account that.

26 Aug 2026 19:10:29
That's AI generated. The real photo shows BarryinLouth.

26 Aug 2026 19:18:36
Looks more like Lenny Yoro.

26 Aug 2026 19:34:08
Lads, I haven't done my photos yet so don't be panicking.

26 Aug 2026 19:39:05
Also, the other chap in the photo appears to be levitating over some train tracks. The guard would've shouted him out over being over the yellow line!

26 Aug 2026 19:48:57
Is Ian Callaghan still available?

26 Aug 2026 19:59:37
Class Kr. 🤣

26 Aug 2026 18:42:29
So, let me get this straight...

We sold a 28-year-old Luis Diaz because he was considered too old to give a new contract so that we could instead try and sign a 28-year-old Ismaila Sarr, who's nowhere near as good. Hughes, you have delved to unfathomable, new depths of incompetent.

{Ed0666's Note - A lot of posts are cracking me up today and this is another one. Well done Mango.

26 Aug 2026 18:55:18
Diaz wanted to leave.

26 Aug 2026 19:02:52
That's the first time I've ever heard we let Diaz go because he was too old. 🤣 Some people will make up whatever they want to suit their cause.

26 Aug 2026 19:06:52
Think it was likely the wage he wanted and deserved tbf.

26 Aug 2026 18:35:48
Genuine question for the Ed's or anyone who may know more but also may sound stupid but

See during the transfer window do the current squad have any inside knowledge of the transfer dealings like for example with the Barcola stuff do key members of the team know what's happening behind the scenes are just see what's being reported? Or would say Ekitike know more due to being compatriots with him know a little more as he could be getting info from Barcola himself?

{Ed0666's Note - I would be incredulous if Ekitike didn’t know as much as if not more than Hughes about the Barcola transfer as they are Ek & Barcola are mates. But I’ve just read what I’ve written and Cilla Black probably knows more about the Barcola transfer than Hughes.

26 Aug 2026 19:03:00
You're right about Cilla, Ed. What's it all about?

{Ed0666's Note - Don’t send me down a rabbit hole mate 😆

26 Aug 2026 19:11:45
Thanks for the candle and welcome back!

{Ed0666's Note - much appreciated Rome.

26 Aug 2026 19:18:57
666 you're my world.

26 Aug 2026 20:01:14
Hopefully it'll be Surprise Surprise!!

26 Aug 2026 18:09:22
All this transfer flukes and nonsense, must be hard for players to concentrate on the weekend.

It's their job but still when you are this woeful in market and there are so many things being said about current squad it would definitely effect the morale of the team and around the club.

26 Aug 2026 18:29:29
The players live in a rather insular world, so I seriously doubt they'll be strolling out on to the pitch prior to kick off worrying about transfers.

26 Aug 2026 18:45:41
Don't know why. It's one of the best squads we've ever had.

26 Aug 2026 19:04:17
Nonsense.

26 Aug 2026 19:42:08
I'm getting tired of writing this, but I'm bored. Last year's squad was the best we've ever had, and we'd have won the league but for the pesky bald fraud.

26 Aug 2026 19:44:41
Now I know that FM is a contrarian. I could name at least four squads we've had from this century that are better than this. Laughable posts.

26 Aug 2026 20:24:07
You do know that Florian and I are being sarcastic, PP? Just checking.

26 Aug 2026 20:40:41
It's all a Christmas joke!

26 Aug 2026 18:01:30
Well we can all certainly say this hasn't been a dull last few days on here.

Who do we actually think at this point we end up with?

I'm going for Barcola and Mbaye as I just think its typical us to prat about with various other signings only to go back to the one we had basically locked in a while ago.

Interested to here thoughts of Eds and your good selves.

26 Aug 2026 18:18:40
They make sense and I hope we can get Camara too, Monaco need to sell, so a transfer is doable.

26 Aug 2026 20:49:35
Don't know who for the left wing. Wouldn't surprise me if we chase Barcola to the last day, then fail to sign him and he ends up at Arsenal or something next season.

Right wing is looking like a panic buy, so could be anybody.

26 Aug 2026 17:58:56
Minteh - Brighton = No.

Barcola - PSG = overpriced.

Sarr - Crystal Palace = We hate you so no.

Soon to be “Scott” - Bournemouth = Seriously, Richard.

September - lfc statement “We were prepared to act if the right opportunity arose but sometimes the market can be difficult.”

November a millions miles from the top - Iraola “Yes, I am happy with the squad.”

26 Aug 2026 18:24:50
I await the local schill journo stories, who seem to have zero insider knowledge on anything but are given free rein to deliver pro FSG stories.

"Despite attempting to make some moves, the club felt the current squad were capable of challenging on all fronts.

They'll return to potential prospects in January although the summer 2037 seems more likely as we know, the January market can be challenging. Expect big moves to be made then."

Aside from last summer, b*******.

{Ed0666's Note - brilliant

26 Aug 2026 18:35:31
And, in the real world, football isn't about transfers, it's about getting the best out of what you have and adding quality when the opportunity arises. Everyone knows we need a RW and pace in the final third, and some people think we need a CM.

We have RW options and CM options, and have pace in some positions. I'd like more, but think the players we have brought in so far strengthen the squad in terms of quality, but accept we need depth.

26 Aug 2026 18:54:08
Jari, we should be challenging for titles year on year, this squad isn't cut out for it.

26 Aug 2026 19:13:53
Think Barcola, Mbaye and Camara will sign.
Viva le France.

{Ed0666's Note - yeh I said the same but more out of hope than conviction mate.

26 Aug 2026 17:57:49
What about the young lad from Wolves?
Is he injured?
Surely 40/50 mill would be enough to get him.
We were linked to him last season.

26 Aug 2026 18:25:12
Mane!!!

26 Aug 2026 19:41:36
I'm sitting here patiently waiting for Ewan Ferguson to join us. He was going to be a star...

26 Aug 2026 17:41:57
Barcelona up to their necks in debt, bidding €100 million for players whilst Liverpool, after a huge investment, are penny pinching. Liverpool will not finish in the CL places with the current squad and this statement can be bookmarked.

26 Aug 2026 18:02:47
Barca are the last club I'd want us to be run like!

26 Aug 2026 18:19:32
Spending to get yourself out of debt is a dangerous thing in this market at this time.

26 Aug 2026 18:34:58
Penny pinching while reportedly close to signing Barcola for over £100 million, and still looking to buy other players.

26 Aug 2026 19:44:56
It's National 'One thought Wednesday', @Flash. Those playing can only ever have one thought in their heads at any given time.

26 Aug 2026 19:51:49
As opposed to brainiac here.
