ESPN reporting that Man City are actually ahead for Wirtz. Lots of games being played out there in the press and social media now.

15 May 2025 12:36:22
There’s no games here. Florian Wirtz will never play for Liverpool football club. The same as Bellingham, Tchouameni, Caicedo, Zubimendi et al. Nothing to see here and nothing that genuinely involves us. If we did as is being reported, fly him and his “entourage” over then it was a waste of money and time.

Vik, why don't you own a football club? Or at least get a Director of Football role? Your wisdom is unparalleled!

{Ed025's Note - he would have no players Zed, they are all crap apparently mate.. :)

Sometimes straight talking needed.

15 May 2025 16:06:06
Why not ask Viktor to join the list of Ed's. Maybe Ed666. His input would be unprecedented.

{Ed001's Note - we had a 666 and he was excellent, no way Viktor could live up to that.}

15 May 2025 23:08:22
Scouse John, agree, some folks are in cloud cuckoo land if they think Wirtz is joining. Just being realistic based on our previous on players of that calibre.

16 May 2025 07:24:04
I don’t get why he can’t play for us if you can explain VV Bayern look like they will not meet the price and we nearly signed Caicedo was it 2 years ago for £115m and have since really spent nothing so as the club did prove when they signed Virgil for the right player they will spend big. If it comes down to us or city with all the stuff hanging over city am not sure why he would choose them over us.

16 May 2025 13:07:13
Ignore VV he always airs on the negative side.

Whilst the common conception is that Wirtz will most likely join Bayern with R Madrid second option he is exploring his options in the UK should those routes to move not materialise.

16 May 2025 15:03:41
Just imagine if we actually managed to sign him - what a player. Considering today’s market, the fee being mentioned doesn’t even seem unreasonable. I genuinely think we could pull it off, but ultimately, it’ll come down to his choice. The wages involved are going to be huge, and that alone makes me doubt it’ll happen but you never know.

16 May 2025 15:53:17
He certainly wouldn't be the "WIRTZ" signing we have ever made.

(Borini, Jimmy Carter springs to mind, no reference to United States President Jimmy Carter who would probably have done a better job than his namesake! )

16 May 2025 15:42:45
No idea about Wirtz the person, but there is a chance if his personality and character match that of Liverpool the city and the sporting project.

12 May 2025 15:59:01
We're going to win the League!

Probably a few weeks late, but incredibly exciting!

(Imagine in sarcasm font! )

It's Party Time already for Arne: Arne Slot celebrated in Ibiza chaos erupts.

Although the video could be when Feyernoord won it, with a changed headline.

13 May 2025 23:10:44
He's in Dubai.

LFC is a club like no other, we are like a family. We ride our emotions through the highs and lows. So when one of our own, a local lad brought up in the Liverpool way decides to leave. It hits harder, the pill is easier to swallow when its someone else because they are not a local lad.

There is a lot of emotion attached to it and we as LFC fans live on an emotional rollercoaster. That's what makes us the best fans in the world because we are all in it together, until the bitter end.

We all have our thoughts and opinions on Trent, that's the beauty of football. Players come and go but this great institution will still be standing long after they retire.

Trent is someone who truly understands what this great institution means to the fans. He even mentioned this when renewing in 2017, along with how he is living the dream of every local kid. You don't say this and then turn your back on the fans or the club. We as Scousers have an unexplainable connection with the Scousers that play for us, that's why it hits as hard as it does and you get the reactions you do.

Its a very typical Scouse thing to do is tearing a strip off someone because they got to big for their boots and there is no boots bigger than LFC imo, regardless of the storied history of Real.

People are allowed to voice their opinions and if they, like myself want to boo a Trent. Then so be it. Thanks for your service but you won't be held up amongst the greats of this club, you belong with the Macmanaman's and Owen's of this club.

12 May 2025 19:51:01
Twenty years service counts for nothing.
How one eyed are you?

12 May 2025 20:09:50
Did I say that? Thanked him for his service 😂.

Just because I won't put him up there with the likes of Kenny, Gerrard, Hansen, Molby, Callaghan etc. Calling me one eyed is pathetic, especially when your just a brown eye 😂.

16 May 2025 14:12:19
He made his bed, he will regret it.

Fans will not forgive but will forget.

Move on to the next player as always, bigger players than Trent have left LFC and we have still continued to win major honours.

Roll on the summer.

16 May 2025 16:11:23
He will regret it? What makes you think that, SSH?

Fans will not forgive? There's nothing to forgive 🤣 he's done nothing wrong lol. Gobsmacking these posts. For God's sake get over it, why are you and some others on here so bothered? Leave it alone it's old news.

12 May 2025 11:01:09
My take on the booing, I must admit I was happy with it let's get that out there. But for me he has brought it on himself. I've no problem with the club not getting a fee for him But he has known all year he was not going to extend. Some fans ( mostly washed up pundits) are saying where is the respect? You don't boo your own. Trent has been supported to the hilt. We have overlooked some of his defensive flaws because he is one of us and he brilliant at the other things. If he had come out at beginning of season and said " look RM on my case I've had my head turned I really want to go there I can't help it I've had the best career ever here and I will bust a gut for you for my last season but I really do want to go there, it would of stung but probably felt less of a betrayal. instead of hiding like a fart and not being a vice captain taking some responsibility and showing the fans he does really care by waiting until the last min hoping to brush the disappointment under the league winning celebrations. When would he have told us if we never won it? He had enough chances this season to come clean and show some respect to the fans instead of half arsing passes v Utd etc and still getting backed by the fans . No, respect goes both ways it still would of hurt but not as bad with having Bradley coming through ( who is more than capable of filling the void) the video he put out was half arsed too. No time to reap what you've sown. Legacy thrown away.

12 May 2025 13:19:01
When you’ve got that cretin Ferdinand giving us a lecture on being loyal you know that you’re in the right. He’s the last one to talk about given his previous.

12 May 2025 13:30:38
Can’t stand the man vik. ( Rio)

12 May 2025 16:31:17
No right minded person does John. Awful excuse for a human being.

13 May 2025 22:32:21
It's all water under the bridge now, we must move on as one and now give our full support to our new LFC right back whoever that may be.

14 May 2025 11:46:02
A large part of it was how he seemingly led the fans on. The talks about wanting to be a legend here, be captain etc. he said he won’t discuss contract negotiations out of decent/ respect but the reality is this was all likely decided. The club never once threw him to the wolves, those in charge were getting called all sorts for not having it sorted. You cannot make somebody sign a contract if they are not interested.

He’s done what he believes is best for him, not sure I agree it will be in footballing terms, but it is what it is.

People are entitled to boo and I fully support it. How does this get more reaction than certain fans cheering rapists?

15 May 2025 13:51:30
How many here want Trent to announce it the minute he decided?

Let's play it out.

The vitriol he's getting now AFTER we've won a title is instead a full season long and creates unrest in the fan base and likely a bad atmosphere in the stadium.

We don't end up winning a title.


The way it was done was the best way no matter how clingy ex girlfriend everyone wants to behave about it.

11 May 2025 21:04:56
Soooo the regular attending scouse supporter booed their own today and it speaks volumes of how TAA has acted and disrespected his fellow city/ family. The booing was a reaction only to him (and the players know this) and he's made his bed and has to accept to lay down in it. I doubt when he comes back next season and is wearing white he will get any cheers and he will only get boos. If you don't like the booing don't listen or clap either way you can't tell other supporters how to act. All I'm seeing is how disgraceful the booing was as if by saying it makes them a better fan. YNWA is a life philosophy we as a club have and when one of our own turn their back on it what do you expect?

My opinion is my business.

12 May 2025 08:16:07
At some stage Trent the scouse lad must have known the ramifications of his actions would bring the reaction he got Vs Arsenal, Trent the player there's no argument the club is losing a brilliant iconic player, there's those that will applaud him and those that will berate him but he more than all has to own this with him being a blood scouse lad he has shown himself to appear to be an entitled arroagant git, that may not be the truth as i don't know him but the way he's handled this has been a massive own goal on his part, what was he thinking.

12 May 2025 12:45:11
All this could have been avoided in some part I'd he'd made his announcement after the last game of the season, don't understand why he made it when he did, surely he must have realised he'd get a backlash.

13 May 2025 09:45:20
My main issue with the booing, possibly even the timing of the substitution is that it was at a time where the momentum in the game had swung.

The TEAM we and those in the stadium support needed the Anfield lift. Positivity, that injection of adrenaline to get us over the line. I understand the league is won but there was a game to be played and won also. Instead it turned into a panto. The negativity emanated.

No player is bigger than the team but the stadium put Trent above the team in that moment. I get the upset, I am not taking that right away from anyone, but we have won the League with the lad playing a crucial part in that along the way.

The fans have said their piece now. It's time to get back to the party and enjoy it for what it is. There is a trophy lift and parade to make the most of. Players leave year in year out, that is a given. Titles don't. Enjoy it whilst we can! We have waited a long time for this!

Edd001 how do you think xabi will fare at Madrid?

{Ed001's Note - I would expect him to do well.}

09 May 2025 19:25:47
Another correct call made by ed2 if I remember correctly.

11 May 2025 18:04:51
Vera Duckworth would do well, comparatively. Apart from Barcelona and maybe Atletico, it's not that difficult to win footie games.

13 May 2025 02:28:19
They’ve also got to beat us City PSG Bayern Inter etc just winning domestically won’t keep you in a job for long there if you’re not winning the European cup you’ll soon be replaced for someone who will and it works for them.
