Hello all,
Diomande and Reed/ Miniguez are the number 1 targets for Liverpool this summer.
Bouaddi has been scouted over 10 times, could be a Macca replacement.
Salah is out.
Ta.
{Ed078's Note - cheers Macca.
05 Feb 2026 01:47:15
Yan or Ousmande Diomande?
Really hoping we sell Gakpo to Bayern and get a LW as well as RW to replace Salah.
05 Feb 2026 01:55:46
Cheers Carra. Always appreciate the input
Do you think Macca is also on his way out the door this summer?
Any chance of pushing a little on where you think Salah will go?
05 Feb 2026 02:14:21
Which Reed and are these Alonso approved?
05 Feb 2026 03:43:46
Reed? Mininguez? Never heard of them.
05 Feb 2026 03:48:56
If Liverpool get Diomande then I can understand why they may have opted out of the Semenyo's deal.
05 Feb 2026 03:52:11
Excellent news both great talents but will cost £100m I bet for both. Hope we get a big amount for Salah. Bouaddi is looking good but surely they will want a huge amount.
05 Feb 2026 03:56:19
I take it you meant mingueza from Celta Vigo?
05 Feb 2026 04:09:32
Who is reed/ miniguez? doesn't ring any bell.
05 Feb 2026 04:21:06
Can I ask, which Reed and Miniguez is this? Google only give me Fulham's Harrison Reed, and Miniguez give me Mingueza.
Thanks for the info Carra.
05 Feb 2026 04:47:02
Thanks Carra.
05 Feb 2026 05:29:36
After some Reaserch and some guessing, I'll say Yan Diomande after allot of links. Givario Read, which Carra mentioned recently and Minigueza who's at Celta Vigo.
A start to summer of Diomande, Read and Bouaddi with Xabi in charge, already sounds damn good ?.
05 Feb 2026 05:49:35
Givairo Read
Oscar Mingueza
Kaizer and mfahmee2.
05 Feb 2026 06:04:16
Bouaddi Is only 19 in October, would that mean he could become HG if they sign him this summer, or does it need to be 3 full seasons before the age of 21?
05 Feb 2026 06:06:12
I'm assuming this is supposed to be Givairo Read and Óscar Mingueza.
05 Feb 2026 06:31:55
Thanks Carra
Just posted about Bouaddi and Smit.
Heard anything about Smit? Him and Bouaddi look like they'd be great additions.
05 Feb 2026 06:33:51
Reed will be girvairo Reid I reckon for right back.
05 Feb 2026 07:16:29
Hi ed78 is Carra the original macca?
{Ed001's Note - no.}
05 Feb 2026 07:26:24
Cheers Carra, much appreciated as always ?.
05 Feb 2026 07:31:57
Let's hope they tell Mo this time.
05 Feb 2026 07:49:20
We're not worthy, cheers carra appreciate as always.
05 Feb 2026 08:18:20
Diomande is the real deal for me.
05 Feb 2026 08:21:53
Jacquet (20), Read (19), Bouaddi (18) and Diomande (19) would be a hell of a future proofing operation! 4 of the best young players in Europe by all accounts.
05 Feb 2026 09:18:08
Never heard of any of them but they are foreign, one has a Z in his name and they all look world class on youtube. I'm pumped.
05 Feb 2026 09:20:57
We'll need some British players if Gomez and Cujo leave.
05 Feb 2026 09:29:56
Cheers Carra, need to do some scouting myself now! lol.
05 Feb 2026 09:37:01
Not forgetting that we already have Leoni (19), @MK and Rio too at 17.
05 Feb 2026 09:47:30
Seeing more and more we will pay top dollar for young talents. Just hope we do play them and don't go down the Chelsea route of buying young players with potential and aiming to sell later down the line.
05 Feb 2026 10:41:27
My sources say the same!
To be fair Carra is my source.
{Ed025's Note - love it Jerry..
05 Feb 2026 11:03:21
Cheers, Carra. Tracks with what we have been linked with over the past 6 months or so.
Diomande would light up the Premier League and give us that Mane-like ability to play both sides - much like some of us expected of Semenyo. He is young though!
Read is clearly one of the most highly rated RBs around and we have been linked with him even before we signed Frimpong last summer. One of those rare players who seems to be good at everything. City are very serious about him too. He is also young though.
Bouaddi is the best DM prospect around at the moment. Every top club wants him with Arsenal very serious. He is also very young. I don't see him as a Macca replacement, but rather a much needed DM addition, with Gravy currently the only pseudo-option that the coach picks.
Mingueza is out of contract in the summer. Can play RB and CB. Schooled at La Masia, so very good technically. Has the traits of a midfielder, so can see why we would like him.
Hopefully it is Wharton that we replace Macca with.
It's clear they are looking to buy very young - much younger than the 23/ 24 sweet spot Edwards used to like. I hope we don't do a Chelsea whereby there's no leadership left in the squad. Keeping the likes of Virg, Alisson around will be critical if we are losing Salah, Robbo, Macca and Ibou. We maybe even need to add some experience to help. Are there any inspired James Milner type signings out there?
05 Feb 2026 12:00:26
While its great being linked to and buying some fantastic young talent, its also extremely important to have players ready to perform to the required levels from the start of the Premier League season 26/ 27.
Particularly when you consider the potential departures this summer.
I've lost count of the amount of teenage/ 20yr old centre backs we now have, while we only have 3 senior.
One of them is 33
Anothers contract is about to run out (still hopeful that will be sorted)
And the other has an availability problem.
And this is just the centre backs.
05 Feb 2026 16:01:33
Really wish our academy was churning out some more English players. Feels like it should be criminal to not have a few locals in your team.
{Ed025's Note - all clubs seem to be the same Dean, its a shame mate..
05 Feb 2026 16:41:37
Locals might mean Toffeenoses so no thanks ?.
{Ed025's Note - you wish Biggun, Toffee,s are very knowledgeable fans mate and the pride of this great city, your fans tend to canoe on fjords while eating fondue and blowing Viking horns.. :)
05 Feb 2026 17:51:34
nor way Ed25.
{Ed025's Note - good stuff mate..
05 Feb 2026 18:10:12
Everton fans like to play with sheep though Ed025?
{Ed025's Note - they dont really Hughesy, they are just trying to pull the wool over your eyes mate.. :)
05 Feb 2026 18:21:01
Love Diomande, would be well happy with that. Not keen on Read (another sick note RB) or Mingueza tbh. Would personally say some other positions are slightly higher priority than a RB too but certainly wouldn't be against strengthening there.
Like the look of Bouaddi but at some point we've got to start buying some HG players. For midfield, I'd be throwing everything at Anderson but I'm aware that might be an impossible move if the rumours are correct.
05 Feb 2026 18:25:57
Knowledgeable? Depends how much prison internet they're allowed mate!
05 Feb 2026 08:43:42
Alonso approved?. Sure would be some top talents at the club.
05 Feb 2026 08:46:55
Cheers for the update Carra.
05 Feb 2026 08:52:13
Diomande should be the lad to replace Salah. The lad plays with hunger and he can play right left or central. He wants to play for Liverpool. Get it done. The future.
05 Feb 2026 09:02:31
Very exciting prospects. With Virg/ Mo coming to the end, Ibou leaving and Gakpo/ Mac apparently in the departure lounge, the question is, will the loony section of the LFC fanbase have the patience with the team/ manager while all these new/ young players develop and the last vestiges of the league winning team all but disappear? Realistically, with all the incomings and the age profile/ experience of most the the replacements, it could take a couple of seasons to get back to the top.
Going by this site, I have my doubts.
06 Feb 2026 03:09:55
@MK, add Leoni (20), Wirtz (22) and Ekitike (23). If they all reach their (reported) potential we should be fun to watch.
06 Feb 2026 05:50:16
@Kaizer, Reed Miniguez is a Cuban marimba player. Honest, I looked it up.
07 Feb 2026 01:16:41
This all sounds great, but what about our home grown quota?
We're selling all of our English players, and if we move on Salah and Macca, we have to bring in some English talent somewhere like Anderson or Wharton.
I'd rather have kept Quansah and Elliot, but we are where we are now. If we don't have more HG players, we can't even speculate about the best global talent.
07 Feb 2026 23:42:40
Sounds like most of our squad next season won't have to declared as the squad - they won't be 9th enough. They'll just turn up and play on the day.
