As I mentioned a few weeks ago Liverpool are interested in Ibrahima Mbaye.
From what I know from people who are close to LFC, PSG are being stubborn on Barcola move but we can make them change there stance with the Mbaye signing which gives them the funds to add another striker to there frontline.
Hopefully we hear more!
04 Aug 2026 23:46:15
Yep, was expecting Mbaye to pop up as it is all over NewsNow this evening!
I don't believe the guff being reported on Barcola - our ITKs are more believable as they are not trying to sell clicks.
05 Aug 2026 00:19:45
So let me get this right, they've been stubborn with finalising Barcola because of cost, but will happily flog Mbaye quickly to us, which will make them speed up the Barcola deal at a cheaper price, because we've bought Mbaye - yep, as clear as mud and as accurate as the depiction of Braveheart by Mel Gibson.
Sack your contacts, pal.
05 Aug 2026 00:41:59
Not too dissimilar to us ending up with Diomande, I would imagine?
Pot, kettle and all that...
Besides, seems like a lot of journos are mentioning our interest in Mbaye.
05 Aug 2026 00:53:45
Freeeedomm ...
05 Aug 2026 01:02:49
You do realise we can see your posting history, right? This is only your second post on this site, with your first being on 6 Jan. I don't see any mention of Mbaye from you at all unless you have been posting using an alt account.
05 Aug 2026 01:07:34
Not really, @Salah. This post is just regurgitating mainstream media with a twist of "from what is known" and "contacts"
It's basically taken from the 'NewsNow' as pointed out by Zed.
So wind your neck back in, lad.
The info I give you is from trusted sources and original, to the best of my knowledge.
05 Aug 2026 01:14:40
There seems to be a lot of jealousy regarding my insights, @Salah. Little digs here, little digs there. I may be hard on the surface, but I'm soft and squidgy on the inside, and I have a heart, one that feels broken from fellow Reds' critique.
I shall soldier on, rise above, and continue giving fellow Reds the information they want, and deserve - from someone who is not an ITK and continuously gets transfers wrong.
Ciao.
05 Aug 2026 01:32:55
Relax, Barnsey, it's not that serious, mate. Looking forward to Diomande signing.
05 Aug 2026 02:10:28
Mbaye would be a fantastic signing. Reminds of Mane. John Barnes, how confident are you and how quickly this will be wrapped up?
05 Aug 2026 02:15:53
@Barnes,
Dude, I don't think anyone has jealousy. If you're here for social points in some way, you'll be disappointed. It's much better to just post what you know. If people like it, great; if they don't, that's also great. A few of us have been here a long time, and I'm sure others will agree, if you want credit and popularity, you'll end up frustrated.
Please don't take this as criticism, as it's not intended as such. Just friendly advice from someone who's been posting info for a long time.
05 Aug 2026 02:44:46
I personally just wish people would stop saying "like I said..." altogether as if it's some kind of gotcha moment. It brings a bitchy tone to the forum that no one wants. You'll naturally get respect if you refrain from childishness.
05 Aug 2026 03:29:42
Well said, JY.
05 Aug 2026 05:01:17
I remember this site about twenty years ago, in the days of Macca, and there was nothing like the current level of schoolgirl bitchiness, jumping down people's throats and leaving callous comments. It's only natural that people disagree with each other, but there are ways of phrasing things. Hiding behind the anonymity of a keyboard to say things you wouldn't say straight to their face is somewhat pathetic.
At the end of the day, we are all united in wanting success for the club, and only a tiny number of posters actually have any sort of genuine information, so there's really no need for this bitterness and incivility. It's just unpleasant to see fellow Reds biting each other's heads off.
05 Aug 2026 05:37:47
Sangria, back in Macca's day he was the only poster who claimed to be an ITK. Now you have about 20, I think you can see why it's become more bitchy.
05 Aug 2026 07:47:25
I am just picturing Wham and Paul Young mullets, and the guy that nobody recognises, Midge Ure maybe?
05 Aug 2026 08:31:01
He Drank, totally agree the site is a lot worse for people bitching about how people are posting, Barnes, I hadn't seen the article so what's your problem with people posting like this?
Really need to stop this ITK crap, it's a rumour and banter site for all of us to get info, you're all just posters that have better possible information?
05 Aug 2026 09:16:47
Find it quite ironic that some of the more regular posters on here who share information are so keen to criticise new posters, but get upset if anyone questions their information.
05 Aug 2026 09:31:12
He looks like he has good potential, but he's not a player which moves the needle for me at all. He's also another right footed winger. We have plenty.
I wouldn't bother. If you want an expensive teenager with a small amount of first team games last season, you want Rayan.
05 Aug 2026 09:37:37
@The Fifth,
Yes, I'm afraid that appears to be the case.
Too many cocks spoil the brothel, or whatever the phrase is.
05 Aug 2026 10:22:05
We are going to corner the market in right footed LW, and then start selling them off at even higher prices. Shrewd.
Also on the 20 years ago thing, the big difference is the proliferation of Social Media in the last 20 years.
Now every Tom, Dick and Harry can claim to be ITK just by following a certain X account etc.
and all the posters on SM are desperately chasing clicks and subscribers, so they make up outlandish stories, which no one else is reporting (because they are obviously a pile of poo) and lo and behold, an 'ITK' suddenly reports a story no one else has!
It's all very very different and quite annoying, really!
05 Aug 2026 10:47:36
@inbeta1989, You forgot Frankie Goes to Hollywood mate *wink* : ).
YNWA.
05 Aug 2026 11:07:03
@Barnes,
As others have pointed out, it's the manner in which you responded to the OP. There was simply no need for it. And there was no need to tell me "to wind my neck in". So, relax, and take a few breaths before posting.
And remember, it's not a competition - it's just a bit of fun. Don't take things too seriously.
05 Aug 2026 11:22:46
I'm nominating @JBIG for an Oscar.
05 Aug 2026 11:24:54
Like children vying for attention and likes. The rumours tend to run parallel on the site with other forums and news outlets, sometimes things break early on here other times I've seen players linked elsewhere first which then pop up on here half an hour later.
It's often the banter that sets it apart, and as things move fast in transfers it's easy to be correct on any rumour, until you're not!
05 Aug 2026 11:55:19
Barcola + Mbaye for £150mil is a catch.
Including £5mil for Arnau Martinez makes it even more eyewatering.
About £55mil per player. Would love for Zabarnyi to come on loan as well.
1 year loan fee of £20mil.
Non-HG status swap:
Jota RIP -> Munoz
Chiesa -> Barcola
Tsimikas -> Arnau
Endo/Gakpo -> Zabarnyi
Macca -> Def Mid??
HG status swap:
Jones -> Chambers
Elliott -> Koumas.
05 Aug 2026 11:27:16
Ok it's got to stop now the poison that has infected the site with people taking every opportunity to take a dig at someone for posting a rumour it's pathetic.
Leave people alone as you are driving people away from the site day after day.
You do not have to reply some sarcastic snotty comment if you don't like what a user has posted move on, scroll past.
STOP.
every single day someone is being pulled down for posting, if you want facts go elsewhere this is not the site for you.
05 Aug 2026 12:53:30
Agreed BeKind, All these laugh / crying emojis taking piss out of people is poor behaviour, in my opinion. Park the ego, or just ignore what you don't like, no need to belittle people as we can all see and read, so if someone posts crap we don't need anyone pointing it out, we can see for ourselves.
Same few people keep posting this way. Give it a rest.
05 Aug 2026 14:13:11
Sangria, you're absolutely spot on about the unnecessary hostility on here, that has become a regular feature. But what can you do? It's a free site and the Eds are unpaid in the majority. You can't ask for them to do much more; they already give as much of their time as possible, without much appreciation I must add, given the occasional moron that comes along and starts arguing and spouting immature nonsense.
The only solution, and more of a hope, is to ask posters for some self-policing and restraint. No idea if people here are capable of that.
05 Aug 2026 21:07:37
@Navada, My response was tongue in the cheeky. Credit or kudos I steer clear of, otherwise you really don't read my posts properly. Dude.
05 Aug 2026 21:09:32
Jesus @West Derby, do you not understand sarcasm in its most basic form. Or a toungue in the cheek response.
Good god, some people are so, well, stupid. I can't paint it any other way.
