Next offer likely accepted for Barcola.
We're not far away as I said.
Ta.
29 Jul 2026 22:43:46
Thanks Carra, for the info.
29 Jul 2026 22:43:57
Looks like this is going to happen. Thanks a lot, Carra, really appreciate the info.
29 Jul 2026 22:45:10
Hope so. ?? What a signing this would be. When someone (can't remember who) first mentioned Barcola about 3 or 4 months ago, I dismissed it out of hand as a totally unrealistic suggestion. Whoever that was, I apologise!
29 Jul 2026 22:53:58
Tanks, Carra.
29 Jul 2026 22:55:31
Cheers, Carra.

PSG accepts a £100 million LFC offer? That's fairer compared to fees for Anderson and Rogers. The third most expensive LFC signing also takes a huge weight off Andoni and Barcola's shoulders!
If Andoni wants him, then you have to support the manager's decision, and most happily accept a new LFC player also.
Andoni has a superlative record with past signings in the transfer market at Bournemouth.
Looks like Munoz LW, Barcola RW = Salah's replacement. Best of luck to player and manager. Looks like he takes Mo's shirt number also eleven?
29 Jul 2026 23:06:23
Thanks, Cara, I can finally go to bed now.
29 Jul 2026 23:16:18
Brilliant news, Carra. Thanks.
29 Jul 2026 23:18:58
Nice one, Carra.
29 Jul 2026 23:19:38
@007, There is no way we are playing Munoz on left & Barcola on right, Munoz was signed to be used just as Jota was, Barcola will be our main left winger & we will sign another attacking player, as I've said previously, our aim has always been to sign 2 wingers, Barcola & Diomande were our targets.
29 Jul 2026 23:27:06
Thanks for the info mate.
30 Jul 2026 00:39:18
Big signing. Love it.
30 Jul 2026 00:54:21
Exciting signing if we complete it, to add to Munoz. Flexible RB/RCB and a ball winning midfielder next please.
30 Jul 2026 01:25:27
Oh yes. Cracking player.
30 Jul 2026 01:50:01
Mark my words, it's going to be a s*** show. The guy only knows how to run and score easy goals. I wonder why this is not obvious for the scouts and others in favor of this move. What is the desperation about?
30 Jul 2026 01:58:06
Waste of money, there's a reason PSG are letting him go. Zero end product.
30 Jul 2026 02:04:22
Foreveryoung, so he just fluked his way to 42G/A in 24/25?
30 Jul 2026 04:46:32
Sometimes you don't value what you have until it's gone. What do Kerkez, Ekitike, Wirtz, Isak and Barcola have in common?
30 Jul 2026 05:38:22
Just runs and scores easy goals - brilliant, all I need. Mane did that as well.
29 Jul 2026 23:18:10
Not that it matters just out of curiosity of course but is Barcola a Iraola signing or was he flagged a while back?
30 Jul 2026 06:17:39
@Kaka, calm down, man, he's nowhere near as bad as you make him out to be. Talented prospect, has the skills and will be a good fit, I hope.
30 Jul 2026 06:51:39
I'm more concerned about the lack of midfield and defensive reinforcements being signed, the manager using Dom as a central defender is a worrying sight.
30 Jul 2026 07:27:37
@kjh2477, Mane had strength, finishing, dribbling and pace, whereas Barcola is just pace. He will have a hard time in PL. Also, I don't understand the desperation with LFC with this signing. It would have made more sense if Gakpo would have left, but with the current depth in LW, this is an absolutely dumb move.
30 Jul 2026 07:33:27
Cheers, Carra, let's hope this gets resolved over the next few days. ????
30 Jul 2026 07:36:34
See the trolls are out in force...
30 Jul 2026 07:47:26
I like what I see in Barcola. He's in the French WC team for a reason. There were some comments about him only knowing how to run and score easy goals. What's the problem with that? As long as he can run and score easy goals day in, day out, he will be an instant hit.
Also, we don't know what Iraola can do with him yet. Who knows, he can transform to become one of our best LW? Nobody really wanted Salah when he was at Roma, we kinda got him without much of a challenge. Who would have thought that he would become one of our best?
30 Jul 2026 07:52:01
So, using the trolls theory, because Bellingham can't even make the PSG squad, he only plays for Real Madrid, who are not European Champions. Then, if we signed him, we would be getting an inferior player!
So, the only signings we should make should be PSG first team starters.
If Barcola played 90 mins every game this season, would he be acceptable to the trolls to buy next summer?
I for one will be over the moon when we get Barcola over the line, great player & I'm backing him to be a big part of us winning trophies over the next 7 years.
30 Jul 2026 08:05:44
Just need that right winger now. As Carragher said in his latest interview, Barcola does not play on the right. Nor do any of the other left wingers. We are spending 100m on a left sided player (if it completes) when we have another 3 as backup. (There is no certainty Gapko will leave)
It's a vain, conspicuous consumption, and one we will come to regret if we don't get a right sided winger.
I've been consistent in my analysis since the beginning. This only makes sense if Diomande, or a player of his ilk, signs.
So because I trust the process, and the information I receive from my mate Dave, I am still certain we will still sign Diomande.
30 Jul 2026 08:08:39
Foreveryoung, Kaka, thanks for taking time out of your busy scouting for LFC, we really appreciate it.
30 Jul 2026 08:21:50
Cheers Carra, looks like things are starting to move now.
30 Jul 2026 08:41:50
AI is impressed by Nyoni, and so I don't think we will be in for a DM. RB/RCB and a RW, and that's job done in this window.
30 Jul 2026 08:48:44
John Barnes is God - completely agree about the left wing.
If we complete the Barcola transfer then we will have spent circa £150/160mil on left sided attackers, while our right side has a gaping hole; all while we have 2 left sided attackers already in the squad.
It would be bonkers to spend £100+mil on a left sided attacker only to mainly use him on the other side.
Not sure about Diomande getting done, hope so, or at least an actual right sided attacker.
30 Jul 2026 08:49:02
Barcola made a name for himself at Lyon, playing RW, only moved to the left at PSG. He is very capable.
30 Jul 2026 09:27:54
Barcola played (not started) a grand total of 8 games on the right wing last season. 31 games left wing.
The season before 8 games from the right, 44 games from the left.
Season before that 8 games from the right, 27 games from the left.
These are appearances, not starts.
It's because of these performances over the last few years that we are willing to pay £100mil for him, not what he did as a teenager when at his previous club.
30 Jul 2026 10:18:34
Maybe Rayan is in the pipeline, we just don't know about it yet!!
They can see what we all can see, so must have a plan for right side.
Fingers crossed.
Ps, just seen this about Cityh's Savi wanting a move???
Thoughts..
30 Jul 2026 10:30:06
I get that Ginger, but even if he doesn't play on the right, he will certainly have the LW down, leaving Gakpo as third striker and Munoz as a versatile forward, not just a LW. Rio is trying to shift to the right and we probably need Rayan, whose release clause is in 2027.
30 Jul 2026 11:04:19
Blessed to have so many clairvoyants frequenting the site, just wish the club would listen instead of making such bad recruitment mistakes all the time.
30 Jul 2026 11:09:05
Yes, you spend £100+mil on a left sided attacker to play him in his best position. Presumably he will be our main left sided attacker.
Gakpo has shown, under 2 managers now, that playing as CF isn't really for him. I would not be surprised if he was sold in order to recoup some funds, and because we are now over stocked in left sided attack.
Rio is a child who still needs time and room to develop.
Munoz has 1 top tier season under his belt, playing mostly as a left sided attacker.
I actually think he may turn out to be more versatile than Barcola, but he's still very inexperienced.
Rayan's buy out clause doesn't activate under 2027.
Which brings us back to the original issue, we have no actual right sided attacker.
30 Jul 2026 18:18:41
Suckin on diesel now folks, cheers Robbo.
