Reds,
Although I’m still relatively new to posting here, I respect everyone’s views and opinions, especially those who put their trust in the established voices like Carra, Robbo, and others.
That said, I’m sticking with what I said a week ago. Liverpool have walked away from the Yan Diomande deal and, from what I’ve heard, they won’t be going back. The club feel they were messed around by Roc Nation, so they’ve moved on.
I also expect PSG to end up signing both of their winger targets, Diomande and Alikouche, as Carra has mentioned.
As for Barcola, we’re in a really strong position. I believe we’ll beat Arsenal to him, especially as they’re putting most of their focus on Morgan Rogers, bid for Barcola after World Cup.

And I will stand by what I've said for weeks. We will not be signing any 'big stars' this window and I include Barcola in that too. I voiced saying Diomande wouldn't be signing when Carra and Robbo said he would or a great chance of it! No chance in my opinion and looks like I'm right.
LFC this window will bring in unknown youngsters or mid range players to be developed to run along side the core we already have.

We don't even need these wingers. We need a goddamn DM and RB. Why aren't we signing them first!!!
06 Jul 2026 19:42:34
Our wingers in the current squad:
Chiesa
Rio
Gakpo
But sure, we don't need a winger as a priority, ok, mate.

I'm chill. Still over the moon Arne Slot won't be Liverpool manager next season.
Still over the moon we don't have to watch that kind of football at my Club, hopefully never again.
In terms of squad, it's miles off winning a league, even further off winning a European Cup. If I'm being totally honest, it needs 4/5 players to even compete. But who cares, no Arne is so beautiful.

Grizz, are you the one off of X who was making posts saying he wasn't posting again?
06 Jul 2026 20:38:23
No, mate. Not on X.
06 Jul 2026 20:40:34
ChangingOfGvardiol, you forgot Munoz, and Elliot has returned too.
06 Jul 2026 20:41:28
Oooooooh. Interesting. Beginning of "the battle of the ITKs". I'm excited. ?
06 Jul 2026 20:43:30
True, LfFC8, a couple summers ago, people were absolutely losing their minds when we made no signings and that season ended up ok.
06 Jul 2026 21:16:17
Aray, there already has been 1 battle (Slot). You would have thought the fake regurgitators learnt their lesson but noo. ?
06 Jul 2026 21:43:48
@Grizz, a club doesn't walk away from a 100mil deal for a priority target because of agents.
They deal with those s***ters every day of the week.
You seem to be echoing your opinion on the back of Carras' comments earlier.
I'll tell you what's happening, in my opinion.
PSG were never signing Diomande.
Liverpool will sign Diomande.
Barcola deal will not happen, whether we sign Diomande or not. Which is a good job, really, since we just don't need him. There is zero chance of us signing another left winger, even if he can play a little on the right.
06 Jul 2026 22:05:54
John, Fair enough, mate, but I think you're missing the point.
This isn't about Liverpool refusing to deal with a difficult agent. It's about the club believing they were deliberately played by Roc Nation throughout the process. That's completely different. Once Liverpool reached that conclusion, they walked away from the deal and have no intention of going back.
I actually posted that Liverpool had walked away over a week ago, long before Carra spoke about it today, so I'm not jumping on the back of his comments.
If anything, what he said only adds weight to what I'd already been told.
I also don't agree that Liverpool will sign Diomande. I believe PSG will end up signing both Diomande and Alikouche.
On Barcola, we'll have to agree to disagree. I still think Liverpool are very much in that race, and I actually fancy us ahead of Arsenal because they're prioritising Morgan Rogers.
Time will tell, but that's the information I'm standing by.

Are "Think", "expect" and "believe" words of wisdom?
It sounds like you are just taking a punt. Keep posting please, as this is a rumours site, but nothing new here for me.
06 Jul 2026 22:59:03
How's the situation going with Fields?
07 Jul 2026 05:41:08
Fair enough @Grizz, your opinions are valid and always appreciated, as is anybody's gossip / rumours. That's what makes this site tick. I just disagree strongly with your analysis. But time will tell.

Tis rather hectic at the moment, Rokki. Lots of ifs and maybes, but nothing concrete. I think a lot of this is down to the fact the STC looks to be leaving, which is causing a few in house problems.
07 Jul 2026 14:14:26
I don't believe Liverpool have walked away at all from Diomande. One, it's not been announced. Normally we'd announce it or at least feed the media we've pulled out. Secondly, no bid or rumours from the usual social media crown that PSG are in discussions. I believe the agents are p****, and there are still negotiations going on. The 'prefer PSG link' has been made by his agent, probably to hurry us along and come in with a higher bid.
The club are shrewd dealers when it comes to signing players, it's what lots of proper ITKs say. I think they're negotiating agent fees. Went to uni in the Pool, stayed a number of years after. I'll see if I can reach out and get the dishwasher at the training grounds name and see what they've heard!

I know some agents (including some who worked for Raiola's agency) and a couple of people high up in some Italian and German clubs.
No matter how annoying and unprofessional an agent is, the club will still deal with them if they represent a target the club really wants.
Plenty of players have atrocious reps: Pogba, Salah, De Ligt, etc etc. Clubs still speak to them and still buy them. The finances and the need for the player determine transfers, whether or not the club likes the rep really doesn't matter to any of the clubs I'm familiar with.
07 Jul 2026 18:40:22
So we send our a*******s to deal with theirs. ?
08 Jul 2026 11:05:01
I can't see us walking away from a deal to sign a player we've obviously prioritised until he's either said he categorically won't join us or he's signed for someone else.
We're not children storming off, stamping our feet. If he's the best option then he's the best option and we'll exhaust all avenues.
