Evening Gents
Liverpool have resumed talks with RBL and are trying to come to a suitable arrangement over payment structure of the fee.
I've been made aware a 5yr deal has been accepted with Diomande, and he is not holding out for a move to PSG.
In fact, he is having little to no involvement in it, he's leaving it all down to his reps.
You may doubt me, that's fine.
But I'm saying we still sign Diomande.
Cheers

Good news if true. Perhaps, PSG not coming to the table has made his reps rethink. Hopefully, gets concluded asap.
03 Jul 2026 22:35:26
Fingers crossed. ??
03 Jul 2026 22:38:00
Sounds like the same itk journos who got Slop wrong could get this wrong as well...
03 Jul 2026 22:40:30
I believe you. Any news on outgoings?
03 Jul 2026 22:41:58
Cheers Robbo.
03 Jul 2026 22:46:13
Cheers Robbo.
One thing I have noticed is Joyce hasn't ruled it out neither. When Ornstien and Fab reported he wants PSG, Joyce didn't.
03 Jul 2026 22:46:50
Thank you, Robbo!!
03 Jul 2026 22:47:31
Who on earth would dare doubt you, bud?!
You earnt your rep 10 times over!
03 Jul 2026 22:48:46
I hope so, we need an end to this saga one way or another.
03 Jul 2026 23:05:47
Robbo, your track record is good already. You and Carra. If you get this one right, you'll be in a new league altogether. You've been steadfast in your info. Incredibly so. I hope you get it right.
03 Jul 2026 23:22:48
Never mind the doubters, Robbo, they're only Romano worshiping blow-ins.
03 Jul 2026 23:24:24
Thanks for the info mate, appreciated.
However, if there is any truth in how his reps have acted, and he has wanted PSG, then I would rather pass him buy and find someone who does want to play for us!
03 Jul 2026 23:36:33
Cheers, Robbo.
Here's hoping they can pull it off.
03 Jul 2026 23:40:09
I've not been convinced by PSG signing him either, I don't think they have tried to. Dimondes reps have been greedy and trying to have a bidding war for him.
I still think we are overpaying for him if we do get him over the line.
I also think Ornstein, when it comes to Liverpool, hasn't been as accurate over the last 12 months.
03 Jul 2026 23:44:48
Don't think you can blame doubters. The whole site has doubted us signing him the last few days, and I wouldn't blame anyone for that. PSG haven't bid yet, but I think they will, they just don't wanna bid as much as us. The way I see it is this: if Leipzig demand the same amount and terms of both sides, we get him, but if Leipzig do a Benfica with Neves where English clubs were quoted £95m but he ended up going to PSG for €60m odd then PSG will get their man.
Let's hope Jurgie insists on a fair playing field.
03 Jul 2026 23:50:48
Why would RBL accept a lower bid than the one already offered?
That makes no sense to me.
04 Jul 2026 00:05:23
My take, for what it's worth. Hopefully the kid is as humble as most people seem to say?
Maybe he gets some good advice if he comes to us, finds we are all just as humble as him!! Then he gets shot of his agents hangers on and grows up under our roof.
We can show him the way. Just a thought.
Ps, had a few glasses of vino deplonky tonite.
{Ed078's Note - sounds more like vino el calapso
04 Jul 2026 00:29:40
That's what happened with Neves, Kingkenny, if you believe the press. Likes of Utd, and us, were linked at around a hundred million pound, only for him to end up at PSG for about 60m.
04 Jul 2026 07:01:28
I am really holding out for what Liverpool are gonna do in other areas like in defence more so than in midfield.
A lot of issues may just need coaching.
But that back line worries me and Vvd can't hold it all together alone.
04 Jul 2026 07:53:00
Thanks, Robbo
Appreciate the feedback as always, mate.
04 Jul 2026 07:53:47
A lot of speculation around VVD as well, which could leave us needing yet another signing.
04 Jul 2026 08:10:41
Nice one Robbo!
04 Jul 2026 08:25:06
Not gonna happen, Robbo! I said this last week and stand by it! "If" the reports over the last week are true, who would want a player that just doesn't know what or where he wants to play? Leaving it up to "your people" means he doesn't give a monkeys! We want players that want to wear the shirt, want to be a Liverpool player, want to win things and want to strive to be better! This deal stinks to me and won't happen and I'm glad it won't! As I said, there won't be any "star" signing this window!.
?
04 Jul 2026 08:43:35
Leaving it up to your people does not mean "couldn't give a monkeys".
It actually means:
'This is a multi-year, multi-million pound deal, I'm paying people to get the best deal they can for me and my future, I'm not skilled in financial negotiation, so I'm going to let the people who I'm paying, who are skilled at it, do their job without my clueless interference'.
It's actually what most players do, as they're no longer as stupid as we think they are.
Cheers Robbo.
04 Jul 2026 08:47:27
Drop that offer to £60m. These "representatives" of this kid sound like a bunch of clowns.
04 Jul 2026 09:08:15
Kingkenny, it's not a lower bid, it's just a restructure to allow more of the initial fee to be paid up front.
04 Jul 2026 09:17:09
Thanks, Robbo. My guess is we maybe PSGs Newcastle. Wait until we agree everything and then swoop in.
04 Jul 2026 09:17:33
Nice one Robbo. Cheers.
04 Jul 2026 09:19:27
Great info. Much appreciated.
04 Jul 2026 09:42:03
Cheers Robbo, for me I hope it doesn't, for me his agents and those around him will be trouble if what they're asking for is true.
I just see red flags with this.
04 Jul 2026 17:13:33
Won't happen!
