Olise is wanted and could be part of a deal for Cody Gakpo.
Ta.
27 Feb 2026 00:03:19
He seems to have matured a lot with his decision making. Not sure if that is because it's the Bundesliga, but he didn't do too bad in his last season with Palace. I like him.
27 Feb 2026 00:23:26
Or just give them Gakpo.
27 Feb 2026 00:58:56
Olise and Diomande both will resolve the winger issues. Need 1 midfielder like Anderson or Wharton, and we will be good to go. Not many changes again, please.
27 Feb 2026 01:09:35
Signing Olise after landing Wirtz and Isak is elite stuff. Seriously hope we can pull this off. Cheers, Carra.
27 Feb 2026 04:49:18
That would be a serious move. I suppose that would put to bed the questions around playing with wingers or not etc., but I still think we require a top level midfield anchor.
27 Feb 2026 06:25:50
With the current trends in the Premier League, I can't see how we are going to play a system with 2 attack-minded fullbacks, 2 lightweight, not very mobile midfielders, Wirtz, 2 wingers, and either Isak or Ekitike, neither of whom is very good at pressing. It just won't work.
27 Feb 2026 07:30:07
Wow. Cheers, Carra. Yan Diomande on the left, rotating with Rio. Olise on the right, hopefully rotating with Joshua Abe (if he decides to stay), would be elite on the wingers front. Olise is world class, or thereabouts, imo. Adding the fact that we already have Isak, Wirtz, and Ekitike would make our team both a league and Champions League challenging team.
If we then go ahead and bring in Wharton and two centre backs on top of that, it would make it back-to-back great summer transfer windows.
27 Feb 2026 08:44:37
Best hope we get Champions League football for next season then?!
27 Feb 2026 08:46:02
Alonso, if Konate signs a new deal, we won't need any more centre-backs. A RB and LB cover if Robbo goes, and 2 midfielders if Endo, Macca, and Jones leave, plus the 2 wingers, and we are sorted, I reckon.
27 Feb 2026 08:57:28
We've got 2 right backs who are good enough to be starters, and Gomez as cover, not to mention kids coming through, and you want another for cover? You really do dream of a team of Carraghers.
27 Feb 2026 09:07:38
Cheers, Carra. Great news. Send Gakpo, a Starbar and a dodgy packet of Richmond cigarettes. Should be enough to get the deal done.
27 Feb 2026 09:33:07
Gakpo plus 35 mill is a great deal. We massively need creative wingers to complement Isak and Ekitike.
27 Feb 2026 09:41:04
Lots of sources are running with this in the last few hours. They must have been on here and read Carra's post! It would be a great signing.
27 Feb 2026 10:00:08
Indykaila had it up last night. Make of that what you will.
27 Feb 2026 04:32:06
Hey Carra,
Firstly, much appreciate all the information you repeatedly provide to this site.
This isn't a question for you but maybe one for the forum.
Objectively, I can't see how/why Bayern would sell Olise? Seems to be an important piece to their team. That makes me very sceptical even though Carra said "could be" part of a deal. I just don't see it.
Ed's? Any opinions on the matter?
{Ed001's Note - I would expect them to be open to selling for a profit as he can be upgraded upon.}
27 Feb 2026 07:57:03
Ed001 what's your thoughts on Wharton I think he is very good on the ball but for me the more I watch him the more I think he likes what we need in our midfield more pace and power.
I think in place of Gravenberch he would give us a lot better passing but Gravenberch definitely has more mobility and pace but still think our midfield with him added to the squad would be better but the balance would still feel disjointed.
Or do you think it would change if and when Slot leaves and a change of tactics and aggression to the team.
Because Mac Allister has been awful this season but first half of last season and season under Klopp he was not this bad.
{Ed001's Note - good player but he has regressed this season under the overrated one and I would avoid him. He is just another Mac Allister for me. Good enough to get in the squad, but not good enough to improve the team. Lacks aggression and bite, which is what we need.}
27 Feb 2026 10:52:08
Liverpool are not going to get one of Bayern's prime assets. Pointless even talking about it. Best to get Diomande and someone else; there are plenty of players out there for a much cheaper price.
27 Feb 2026 10:57:20
Hope we get a good price. I loathe the idea of spending something like 150m pound on two players, and then hope like heck they hit the ground running and never get injured.
27 Feb 2026 10:58:39
Ed1,
Do you rate Olise?
Always felt he was inconsistent and similar to Eze when at Palace, both lazy.
{Ed001's Note - I feel the same and I would prefer to avoid him.}
27 Feb 2026 11:52:35
I'm not Olise's biggest fan, but at 24, maybe with the right coach he can improve on his weaknesses. Can't imagine many would improve under Vincent Kompany.
27 Feb 2026 12:08:30
Not sure that I'd want Olive - there's no wow factor as far as I can see. @Postklopp, I guess you thought Wirtz would be off to Bayern Munich last summer?
27 Feb 2026 14:43:52
Hi Ed's1
Can't I ask you who would you like to replace Salah.?
{Ed001's Note - yes, you can ask if you want mate.}
27 Feb 2026 14:58:57
Scouse John, we have a right-back who's hardly ever fit, and Gomez, who covers cb and rb, who's also never fit and needs to be sold, and no youngsters to cover. That leaves just Frimpong, who can cover both right-back and right wing. I personally prefer him further forward. As for lb, pre-season will decide if we need cover to replace Robbo.
27 Feb 2026 16:37:08
Eds1 haha. Who would you like to replace Salah?
{Ed001's Note - honestly mate, I have absolutely no idea. I have not really seen anyone who stands out at all.}
28 Feb 2026 07:53:22
And, of course, not even Salah stood out before signing him as a one-season wonder.
