Gjivai Zechiel I've been told was a player we were very closely looking at.
With a change in manager and prices being sky high for other midfield targets, I'll be curious to see if we follow up our interest further.

Never heard of him, but cheers, Carra.
09 Jun 2026 15:13:55
Thank you much, Carra. I wonder, is Wharton still a target now Iraola is here? ?

Also had never heard of him, but reading up on him, he sounds very underwhelming. Many Utrecht fans have been complaining about his "nonchalant defending" and "lack of effort". On the flip side, many others have been massively praising his playmaking.
He got 10 goals and 10 assists in 50 games last season, and also looks like he never misses a game despite playing 90 minutes most weeks.
I'll keep an open mind, but getting mixed reviews in the Dutch league is a red flag. Against such weak opposition, you'd hope any prospective signing for a club like Liverpool was standing out week in week out.

Don't know how good he is. But I like the idea of going for some hidden gems once and a while to spend bigger in other areas.
Hopefully, our scouting department is good enough to find some of these to compliment the bigger priced signings. Quality will still need to be a high level. He looks decent on YouTube.

Remember Sky Sports reporting a Scottish footy team were buying Yema Selsavon. ?

Think I would rather gamble on our own youth prospects than "gamble" on any player without a track record of note ...

He sounds underwhelming.
09 Jun 2026 15:46:58
He isn't good enough for LFC.

"Nonchalant defending" and "lack of effort." Maybe that's why Slot wanted him. He was on loan at Utrecht from Feyenoord, so Slot must have known him from there. Let's hope the club have moved on from him.

Looking at his match ratings from this season, it looks like he is consistently excellent, but every now and then he throws in an absolute stinker.

No more Dutch imports right now please and thank you
09 Jun 2026 16:53:04
Cheers, Carra. That's some name.
09 Jun 2026 17:08:11
He is a big scorer....
... in Scrabble!
Cheers, Carra.
09 Jun 2026 18:01:23
Yeah. Nonchalant defending has me put as well, if true.
But I stick by finding a few hidden gems. Like, I believe Geovanni Leoni is going to me. Those 20-30mill signings that turn out to be more than that.
09 Jun 2026 18:51:46
So defends just like VVD then. ?
09 Jun 2026 18:58:01
Looks small, weak, lightweight, and tackle shy, hard pass as he's clearly a Slot kind of midfielder.
