Liverpool Banter 4

Be a real car crash of a window if we spent the whole thing chasing Diomande only to back out, fail to close a deal for Barcola, let Salah go for free and then end up signing an 18 year old back up winger and an injury prone centre back on loan.

08 Aug 2026 07:27:46
Well, we are talking about Hughes, so that's a very real possibility.

08 Aug 2026 00:16:05
Posters on this site genuinely hurt my brain sometimes, you’ve cried we needed a CB/RB to help cover the club look and obviously don’t want to spend more money then needed when they have high hopes for Jaquet and Leoni, got a experience good player but no not that player we don’t want that one… Blows my mind.

Genuinely think whatever the club do won’t be good enough ever. Best fans on the planet supposedly.

08 Aug 2026 08:05:39
We don't or didn't need a CB/RB as cover. We need a starting CB and a starting RB. This is the issue with Araujo. He won't start because he isn't fit. Nevada has an excellent post regarding all the pitfalls that await this man. The club has money and lots of it. Why waste time and effort bringing in someone with such issues and expecting him to succeed? Why not just get Zabyarni on loan from PSG as suggested previously? Why not get Kounde for RB as suggested previously? Signing this guy, be it temporary or otherwise, is nonsensical.

Chewy, VV and others have it right in comparing this to Melo and Caulker. He may not be as poor as those, but he very well could be just as bad. There's much much better out there than this.

What annoys me is when people say, 'just go and get Kounde' or whoever. Maybe they don't want to come, maybe their club isn't willing to sell?! I at least have expected the club to have enquired about others. I am sure I saw reports somewhere (may have even been in here) that Zab didn't want to leave PSG. I think we all want the top top players here, but those players and their clubs have a choice.

As LFC supporters, our club is the greatest and everyone should want to come, but I expect outside our red bubble maybe it's not the case. I am a little nervous on how this season will go, but what will be will be. For my own mental health I've learned to try and not get too depressed by results anymore if they don't go our way. Just smile and roll with it.

We've only gone and signed the Uruguayan Joe Gomez.
Dickie boy is playing an absolute stormer.

I expect massive signings elsewhere to make up for this shambles.

Welcome, Ronald Araujo - good loan DC signing for the year.

07 Aug 2026 23:36:40
No disrespect intended to anybody providing information or rumours on the forum, but I think it is genuinely funny (ha ha funny) that the two players we have brought in since the window opened - Munoz and Araujo - didn’t get a mention at all.

Anybody want to speculate on the next signing?

{Ed078's Note - it happens every season, that's football.

08 Aug 2026 07:11:42
I've been reading this site for years and it's always been the same. Throw enough turd and eventually some sticks.
There's been plenty of signing though that nobody has ever mentioned.
I hope I'm wrong, but do question that if Barcola is done then why hasn't it been announced. I understand he gets 3 weeks off, but so does Munoz.

08 Aug 2026 08:43:29
It's a rumours site and we do look at a lot of players (some for years). If I said Liverpool were interested in Mycael, it doesn't mean we will sign him.

07 Aug 2026 23:01:18
Welcome to LFC, Araujo.

07 Aug 2026 23:51:41
Well said, mate.

08 Aug 2026 02:22:21
Mate, well said.

08 Aug 2026 03:48:40
I predict that when the supporters see how combative Araujo is and when he wins his first few duels (very good at it), he will become a crowd favourite.

Still waiting in anticipation for Gavi or another (marquee) to come in for midfield though as quoted by Vic.

08 Aug 2026 04:02:46
Said well, mate.

08 Aug 2026 06:26:17
Mate, said well.

07 Aug 2026 22:57:43
There's the first deal, expect the next one very soon as well. ⌛

07 Aug 2026 23:25:55
We are at non homegrown limit, so someone also has to go.

07 Aug 2026 23:38:51
You are either a wizard or Richard Hughes, there is no in between.

We can sign who we like; doesn't matter who we sign, only matters who we register. There's plenty of time to flog off some fodder anyway.

08 Aug 2026 00:00:41
No, we're not at the non-HG limit for EPL, and teams tend to buy before they sell in case the ones they want to buy are not available.

07 Aug 2026 22:53:15
Ronald Araujo to sign on loan from Barcelona for the year. Done deal. Good player, but has a horrible injury record.

07 Aug 2026 23:26:42
20+ separate injuries over career.

08 Aug 2026 00:31:44
Just what we need, another injury prone player.

07 Aug 2026 22:50:39
Is Ronald Araujo any good?

Just saw Fabrizio posting that we are getting him on loan.

07 Aug 2026 23:47:06
Of course he's not good! How much have you heard of this turd over the last 5 seasons??? . Ask yourself that!.He can't even play football because he's never fit! and, when so, he's horrendous at it!! A total waste of time, money and effort at its finest.

Bet he doesn't play 5 games! Anyone care to wager??? .Stupidity at its very very best. Whomever devised this rubbish deserves immediate removal from the club.

{Ed078's Note - you been drinkin'? He does have an injury record, but has also shown himself to be a solid defender. You don't play for Barca 38 times in one season if "he's horrendous at it!!"

08 Aug 2026 08:13:38
Perhaps horrendous was exaggerating it a bit, I'll admit!... but there's much better out there than him and he carries way too much risk of failure than we need. And yes, I was having a few out here in Bilbao! Mighty spot!

08 Aug 2026 08:26:10
Plus I should have learned by now not to drink and post.

08 Aug 2026 08:52:14
Plus I should not have made reference to the word turd. That's not a good look. My apologies for any offence.
