Thanks everyone for the comments on the post. Will continue to post on here when anything is worth passing on. Everyone will be happy to know that changes are happening behind the scenes with recruitment and medical sides being especially looked at.
Mike Gordon having to resume day to day running of the club was not in the plans, but Edwards downing tools forced his hand, and we will be better for it long term.

This is what you want to hear! Is all of this more important than signings... I think so. As long as a few come in, I think we are taking the right direction. ?

Cheers mate. Grateful for the updates. Any updates are welcome and so are you.
You will have to deal with the toxic smart a*ses unfortunately

What a waste of space Edwards has been. I had such high hopes for him when he came back. Thanks for the update.

Thanks a million, Tags. ?

I take the view that Andoni's tactical analyst, Tom Webber, is in fact his Chief Scout. He must watch reels and reels of players, something that Andoni does not have the time to do, so he relies on Tom Webber's football acumen.

We're certainly a bit of a mess behind the scenes. The disgrace in not sacking Slot in that substandard period last season showed that.
It's equally as important we fix that, along with the couple of holes in the playing squad.
I'm actually really happy with the CB signing. It's made us stronger.

Iraola has apparently been directly involved in the Munoz and Araujo deals. It does go against everything we heard about him preferring to just coach, but good to see him roll his sleeves up and help us out.
The tighter finances thing seems to be playing out as well, which makes you wonder how we were in for Diomande and Barcola.
Maybe we're waiting on a sale to push Barcola through.
Palace bid for Camara may mean Wharton becomes available if we sell Macca.
09 Aug 2026 02:13:02
Do we need Wharton if we have Grav? For me, they're similar players in that DM role, while Macca is more attacking, so unless we gonna play a 4-2-2-2, why we need him? I think a Bouaddi (not happening), Camara is better. Even so, I think Macca should get another year.

Wharton seemed to be preferred choice, I'm not a huge fan personally. Maybe that'll change now as well if Hughes is out of the picture.

We had a glaring lack of speed last season, probably the slowest Liverpool team I've ever seen in my life.
The 2 signings we've got are very quick, and Barcola is very quick.
Going off that, I don't see us buying Wharton.
09 Aug 2026 08:45:37
Buying so much speed up top is exactly why you might choose to buy Adam Wharton. He can turn defence into attack with his first touch.
09 Aug 2026 08:52:07
Yes, but we got Grav to do that. Why do we need Wharton to do the same thing? I think we need a like for like replacement for Macca (or what he was the season before).

Wharton and Grav are nothing alike. Grav is a carrier through the lines and a shield, Wharton is a playmaker who gets us up the field quickly and can spray the ball into the channels.
09 Aug 2026 09:55:05
Grav gets the ball forward by running with it. He's great at that, but it leaves him out of position if we lose the ball and his passing is not great. Wharton gets the ball forward with quick, elite forward passing, meaning he could stay in position if he played as a deep lying playmaker.
Unfortunately, he lacks the mobility that Grav has to cover ground. If we play Dom in the midfield 2, then both Dom and whomever plays alongside him will have to be very positionally disciplined.
