Evening fellas, little bit of info,
Daniel Svensson is being looked at by Liverpool, BVB left back.
Happy pancake day.
17 Feb 2026 18:31:14
Cheers, Robbo, for the info. Enjoy those pancakes, people.

Never heard of the guy, apparently he can play in midfield as well. Appreciate the update Robbo, anyone seen him play?
17 Feb 2026 19:57:18
No chance. Only signed for Dortmund 8 months ago.
17 Feb 2026 21:50:20
We've already got a left back. A backup should be homegrown or a u23 promotion.
17 Feb 2026 22:17:06
Only ever seen him play in the Danish Superliga, where he only played as a lb in a four-man back line when there were injuries. He played on the wing or as a wing back mostly, which he also does at Dortmund - wing back, that is.
I can't see him in a Slot team as a lb from prior knowledge, but I haven't seen him much since he moved to Germany, so I really can't judge.
17 Feb 2026 23:11:00
Maybe that means Slot won't be here. ?♂️

Makes sense when our newest left back has just started to play quite well. I think our issues are elsewhere.
18 Feb 2026 08:01:34
I don't think it will happen. The higher priority is a cb, cm, rw and probably a lw for bigger money. We already have a massive job on our hands, with this huge overhaul.
A lb will be recruited within, or on the cheap, same for a rb, I imagine. I'd expect us to need to replace: Konate, Salah, Endo, Chiesa, Robbo, Ramsay, probably McAllister and Gakpo too.
18 Feb 2026 09:31:07
I think right back is a high priority. Unless they think that by next year Frimpong will be more able to cope with the physical demands of English football. Bradley, as much as I love the lad's attitude, just cannot be relied on.
Harsh that may sound, as his latest injury was a freak one, but it is only the latest of a long line of injuries. As it is, he's not due back till 2027, and we can't have another situation like this season in that position.
18 Feb 2026 09:55:56
We do need a left back to rotate with Kerkez. Robbo will be off during the summer. As FM says, we also require a rb, as Conor, unfortunately, is injured regularly and, frankly, isn't a good rb anyway.
18 Feb 2026 11:13:43
I agree, Florian. Sometimes, players are not necessarily injury-prone (bone density, muscle structure, bad diet, poor lifestyle choices), but just unlucky with freak injuries (reckless challenges, unfortunate timing). Both should be avoided.
18 Feb 2026 12:09:41
As far as the first 11 goes, I would have a rb and a winger as the top priorities, even if it wouldn't surprise me if Gakpo and Mo were still at the club next season.
18 Feb 2026 12:14:26
Makes total sense for us to go for a left back when we need a right back, a right winger, a left winger, and a couple of centre backs.
18 Feb 2026 17:18:15
Or, Konate could sign a contract, and we wouldn't need a CB at all.
18 Feb 2026 21:35:29
Would rather Beck get a chance as a backup next season.
19 Feb 2026 08:48:25
Beck or Chambers can be backup for Kerkez, surely?
