Klopp to united ??? I've more chance of a threesome with Bela Shah and Hayley McQueen!
17 Feb 2026 16:20:51
Today's rumours I've seen suggest Macca is going to United, and the three players they're willing to throw in to sweeten the deal.
17 Feb 2026 16:21:56
Rebel, United and Chelsea are allowed to try, right?
17 Feb 2026 19:15:25
Which 3 players?
17 Feb 2026 21:07:18
There isn't one United player worth having. Dogmuck, the lot of them.
17 Feb 2026 21:14:22
It said Mainoo, Ugarte, then introduced a paywall to find the third.As there's absolutely no one decent they'd be willing to offer, I didn't bother.
18 Feb 2026 00:15:48
I'd have Mainoo, Cunha, and Mbuemo from them, tbh.
18 Feb 2026 01:29:15
Not sure we need any of them. Wouldn't want Macca leaving anyway. Cheers.
18 Feb 2026 08:25:56
Mainoo is woeful, Drac. He's a hopeless midfielder; he can't defend and has no positional sense.
18 Feb 2026 09:53:49
I'd have to disagree, Vik. I think he has tonnes of potential. He's not a defensive midfielder, but I think he'd make a great b2b midfielder. He is only 21 this year, too, so still fairly young, and he can definitely improve further. At the very least, I think he'd be an upgrade on Macca, and maybe Jones too.
18 Feb 2026 10:17:23
I'd have Cunha because I wanted him at LFC. That's it. Mainoo? Nah, we already have Macca. Also, he, like Macca, doesn't have the legs to play in a mobile midfield.
18 Feb 2026 10:48:52
Strange how the opinion of Macca has changed for some. 05 Apr 2024 15:44:06 Just saw a stat that Mac10 is the first LFC player to score or assist in six consecutive games in all comps, since, you guessed it, Steven Gerrard. Now I have said on multiple occasions that I would have paid 80m for him throughout the season because he was that good at Brighton.
I hereby change my mind. Now, I would have paid 100m for him if I knew he would be anywhere near this good. Why? There is nothing that guy can't do. He is a true modern midfielder, imo. Bravo, sir!

Macca is a very good player with lots of technical ability, and he is quite tenacious too. His form for this season has been poor; he has looked half a yard off the pace for most of it. He has also spent half the season play-acting and diving. Macca is a very good player and was my standout in the Argentina WC win, but for me he needs to stop diving and just knuckle down.
He is not in the same class as Gerrard; Gerrard literally did have it all, and his only real weakness was his tactical ill-discipline. I think this was due to not being coached well enough and to his being a big fish in a small pond. Macca's weakness is his lack of pace, positional sense and his play-acting!
18 Feb 2026 12:36:35
JK, Let me guess. ?????
18 Feb 2026 13:39:45
You know it's a day ending with a Y when JK is either talking about Oli or Chiesa's wages.
18 Feb 2026 15:35:18
You know it's a day ending with a Y when TB comes on all triggered. 8 days a week for you, TB.
18 Feb 2026 16:32:16
That's a deep cut, JK. I admire your commitment to the bit!
18 Feb 2026 16:54:49
Maybe just stop bullying people, JK. Oli clearly wants nothing to do with you.
18 Feb 2026 17:16:04
Pulling the bullying card. ?♂️

I thought Mac Allister was a great signing for under GBP 40m in today's market. World Cup winner, PL experience. The truth is, he's under-delivered on his footballing CV, but he's probably lived up to that price tag.
18 Feb 2026 17:42:18
Ron, I thought Macca was good last season, but has been extremely underwhelming this season. I think he played his part in delivering the club a league title, so that won't look too bad on a footballing CV.
18 Feb 2026 18:08:59
Tbh, Drac, whenever I've seen Mainoo, I've always been underwhelmed. I really don't see the hype. No positional sense, makes a lot of misplaced passes, and doesn't have a terrific work rate. Nothing of a footballer, as far as I'm concerned, and a Manc too. As for Mac Allister, he's been a good signing, but I think his legs are going, so time to move on. Great signing for the money we paid, and we will easily make a profit on him.
As for his CV, a league title in Argentina, one in England, a Copa America, and a World Cup is one that most footballers can only dream of. I stand by my view that Mac Allister and Jones should both be moved on, as they can both be improved upon. Thanks for your efforts, but football is a ruthless game.
18 Feb 2026 18:13:39
JK, Macca and Gerrard should never be seen in the same sentence ever again. Underwhelming is 1 word for him this season, and a very, very kind word for it, mate.
18 Feb 2026 18:22:59
Magico, the 'Macca and Gerrard' comment was not mine; it was a copy and paste from a previous comment that I apparently used to bully someone on a banter site. And yeah, I agree.
He's been pretty awful this season compared to last, but there are not many (maybe only Szob) who are having a better individual season for us this season than they did last season.
18 Feb 2026 21:49:24
What I mean is he has under-delivered for LFC, considering his "footballing CV".
19 Feb 2026 00:49:50
Prior to this season, where he seems to be on cruise control and not really doing anything other than going for his 1st acting Oscar, Mac has been overall a big success for us, esp at his price. Should his poor form continue for too much longer, though, I wouldn't be against him moving on, no matter where, as long as we get a good price.
