Liverpool has completed permanent summer signings for defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes for €63.60m and winger Victor Munoz from Osasuna for €40m, but we could have added Semenyo for €72m and Geuhi €23m - the office of Edwards and Hughes needs to be scrutinized - we could have added 2 prem proven players for less than €10m.
Absolute joke to allow Citeh to rebuild in the areas we actually really needed to improve in.

Is Guehi that good? I'm not convinced.
09 Aug 2026 09:37:21
I'd recommend getting back into bed, then trying to get out the right side next time.
09 Aug 2026 09:42:34
You do know that Edwards has left the building. And, by consensus, Guehi is no longer any good and he had a crap World Cup.
09 Aug 2026 09:45:03
The club spunked close to EUR350 million on Wirtz, Isak and Ekitike.

How are we supposed to stop City rebuilding?
09 Aug 2026 09:46:08
Semenyo isn't even that good.
Apart from his goals, assists, chances created, pace, power, aerial ability, two footedness, ability to drive into space with the ball, work rate, pressing, positional versatility and team play, what does he offer exactly?
09 Aug 2026 09:51:25
Guehi, who single-handedly cost them the league with a misplaced back pass, and got them knocked out of the Champions League by getting embarrassed in his own box?
Terrible player.
09 Aug 2026 09:59:23
That's right, JK. Semenyo is no better than "Harvey Elliot is like a new signing".
09 Aug 2026 10:12:36
Bournemouth didn't miss Semenyo.
18 league games unbeaten since he left.
09 Aug 2026 10:25:37
Any team in England would miss Semenyo in fairness.
09 Aug 2026 10:53:35
Except Bournemouth, Florian?
09 Aug 2026 10:53:36
Nice post jk23, has shades of "what have the Romans done for us?" about it.

Semenyo is decent but not as good as some on here seem to think. Not worth spending top money on.
Guehi, on the other hand, is bang average.
I remember Arsenal were rumoured to be after him before we were and I just thought, so what? Then when we were after him I thought it was a market opportunity to replace Gomez as a back up CB and cover the FB positions.
Not once did I think we would be signing Guehi as a starting CB.
He's just not good enough.
He's proved as much at City. He is just ok. He's not dominant in the air, not particularly quick, doesn't run the defensive line, gets bullied. He's quite good on the ball for a CB when he gets forward which is about all I could say. That's why he'd be decent cover for the FB positions too.
He doesn't really excel at anything though.

Guehi is a decent player, and would've been a good squad option for us, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over missing out on him.
09 Aug 2026 11:20:53
If you say it, Beckers, then it must be true.
09 Aug 2026 11:27:26
Guehi isn't a player I'd want as a starter, too short, too weak, and has too many brain farts, but as a squad cover, he'd have been ok as he can cover full back and midfield. But that's about all. In the context of the current market, Semenyo was a bargain for City.
Home grown, gets 10+ goals a season and weighs in with assists, is versatile, very quick, physically strong, intelligent and hard working. A so called "market opportunity" if ever there was one and we sat on our hands monitoring it.

I still miss Coutinho. Never mind Bournemouth not missing a good player, obviously they did good but can still miss him. We went great losing Coutinho, yet nobody still can do or play like he did for us. Let's enjoy the new manager and a new season. Time to stop haramball.
{Ed025's Note - hey. No talking about ex players on here. It’s frowned upon apparently ?..

What in the twilight zone is going on here? You should have posted this back in January.
09 Aug 2026 14:08:46
Suppose so, Johnny. ?? But they would have been even better with him still there. Turned out a great signing for City that lad.
