Morning All,
Guehi still has his heart set on the move to Anfield. He has been told we will be back for him Jan. I wouldn't be worried about other teams chasing him.
Outside of Semenyo and Guehi, we are also looking at options for CM and RB. No major signings for either positions I'm told in Jan but we may see a cheaper backup option come in.
Slot, again the club continue to back him. Nothing will change unless we go on a losing streak again but his position will be reviewed regardless come the summer.
Salah. Something I've heard and I have said it before on here recently. It is expected he will leave in the summer. He was due to walk away in the summer on a free, some players were bought with that in mind but he signed a new contract because he didn't want to leave the way the other idiot did and tarnish his legacy. That wouldn't of happened to him tho, that's only reserved for people who are local and then act like rats.
Both Wharton and Baleba are being looked at for the summer. Real are expected to come knocking for one of Grav or Macca.
Endo, Bajcetic can also leave if they want to.

Great info thefields. much appreciated.
03 Dec 2025 11:54:04
That all seems pretty sensible.
03 Dec 2025 11:54:55
Nice one fields.
Ta.
03 Dec 2025 12:02:19
Thanks TheFields!
03 Dec 2025 12:03:12
Semenyo and Guehi would be great additions - battle ready for the prem.
Im surprised Baj isn't going to get a chance. He can be excellent, at times.
Thanks Thefields.
03 Dec 2025 12:03:20
Hopefully all of that is true as it all makes a lot of sense.
03 Dec 2025 12:08:47
Cheers for update Fields :-)
03 Dec 2025 12:12:24
I think they’ll strike a deal for Salah in Jan and he’ll stay until the summer.
There’s nothing Salah can do to tarnish his reputation. We’ve won everything in the last 10 years, including 2 titles which we’d waited 30 years to celebrate, a champions league and a world club championship.
He has been absolutely fundamental to some of our greatest moments as fans. He’s maintained his level longer than I ever expected, I only expected 4-5 years. He’s been absolutely incredible and always respected the fans and club.
Forever a legend.
He’ll leave one day but he’ll always be welcome in Liverpool.
03 Dec 2025 11:16:05
Great reporting.
Are Palace going to let Guehi leave during a Wuro campaign though, mate? I reckon Schlotterbeck or Ait Boudlal will be targeted
Any news on the lad from Feyenoord?
03 Dec 2025 12:27:51
I think unless we were bringing in Ederson as has been mentioned, selling Endo and Bajcetic would be very short sighted as we are very short of quality in depth in midfield, particularly thr type who can defend.
03 Dec 2025 12:36:29
The time seems right for Endo with the world cup approaching. Bajetic never really got properly started, I had high hopes when he first broke through. I agree though if a CM doesn't come in then it would make sense to keep him until the summer.
03 Dec 2025 12:42:37
Thanks Fields, prefer Bastoni to Guehi but if Guehi wants us so bad then he’s committed and that’s half the battle.
03 Dec 2025 12:53:14
Cheers for the info Fields.
When you say both Wharton and Baleba is that one or the other or are we looking to bring in the pair of them?
03 Dec 2025 13:06:30
Palace should be winning that tournament with or without Guehi though surely.
03 Dec 2025 13:15:56
Cheers for the info Thefields.
03 Dec 2025 13:28:23
Thanks for the info as always fields.
Love the idea of baleba. again doesn't seem like a slot player. but if he gets over ruled . can he just not play him? . like he has done with endo chiesa and others . unless of course he agrees to it and has recognised you need a bit of muscle in the middle of the park.
Interesting with regards to right back . maybe they are getting impatient and frustrated with injuries we are picking up there constantly.
03 Dec 2025 14:29:39
Thanks TheFields. I would never let go of Gravenberch. Pity about Bajcetic; always hoped he would work out.
03 Dec 2025 15:06:55
Baleba has gone from being Brighton's best player by far to not even completing most games this year, his form has pretty much been on par or even arguably worse than Macca's, wonder what's going on with him.
03 Dec 2025 15:11:24
Don’t get the pining for Baj. He played a half a dozen or so good games about 3 or so years back when we were short on midfield options. His attitude wasn’t the best. He’s not had any luck with injuries since then but he hasn’t kicked on and hasn’t made the world sit up and take notice at all.
I think he’s basically missed his opportunity at Liverpool and it would be better for the lad to find a (second tier) club where he could hopefully get regular playing time.
03 Dec 2025 15:22:24
Great info TF! V much appreciated. Both MG and AS would be fantastic additions.
03 Dec 2025 15:37:27
Ait Boudlal was looked at in the summer but we moved for Leoni instead. Not sure if interest remains.
For those asking its both, not either with Baleba and Wharton. Hughes has over rulled him twice already (Chiesa and Frimpong), so wouldn't be surprised if that happened again.
03 Dec 2025 16:01:30
Guehi, Semenyo, Baleba and Wharton would be another insane couple of windows.
03 Dec 2025 16:28:53
Great info fields, thank you
Regarding the idea of bringing in both, would that mean selling off Macca and endo? I’d assume Wharton would replace Macca and Baleba for endo but with the idea to have more rotation for everyone?
03 Dec 2025 16:38:29
In about 50 years Bajcetic is going to make some people's all time Liverpool 11 based on about 6 games he played when the team was on it's knees.
03 Dec 2025 16:42:28
Thefields, great info and thanks.
When you say Hughes has over ruled him twice i assume you are talking about over ruling Slot on Chiesa and Frimpong? So if that's true is Slot barely playing Chiesa out of spite because he didn't want him? It would certainly explain a lot.
03 Dec 2025 16:47:20
Have to say very noticeable change in transfer policy if that's the case .
Maybe hughes has seen that with 2 players for every position is the best squad make up . sprinkle that with a bit of youth here and there . like a blueprint for champ manager back in the day .
All we need now is cherno samba and that argie kid . DAlessandro. #winning.
03 Dec 2025 17:04:29
Is there anyone else on Caicedo's level for that position?
03 Dec 2025 17:31:34
I don’t mind the over ruling in this case but I just think frimpong was a terrible signing. His profile is the complete opposite of what we needed/ were using last season. Especiallypaired with the fact Kerkez was also very attacking and suited better ahead of the build up.
03 Dec 2025 17:32:43
I’d also be thinking about Anderson and Wharton. Not sure baleba offers anything that different to gravenberch.
