Evening Gents.
Barcola is done.
Official announcement later on tonight, possibly tomorrow.
Cheers.
Goodnight.
26 Aug 2026 23:03:18
The smokescreen worked heh... thanks Robbo.
26 Aug 2026 23:04:03
Sorry, mate, but will believe it when I see it. No offence. ❤️
26 Aug 2026 23:04:26
Thanks Robbo, appreciate it.
26 Aug 2026 23:05:16
???? It's Deja vu, all over again.
Sleep well, Redmen - big day tomorrow, it seems.
26 Aug 2026 23:06:24
Cheers Robbo.
26 Aug 2026 23:06:50
He'll sign on February 2nd.
26 Aug 2026 23:08:01
Excellent Robbo, really hope so. Then we can bring in other targets, like a DM, which is so badly needed.
26 Aug 2026 23:08:40
Thanks, Robbo! Hopefully it's done!
26 Aug 2026 23:11:01
Thanks, mate. Hoping we see him against Forest then! Damn, well needed some good news after this utter polava.
26 Aug 2026 23:13:20
Nice one Robbo, cheers.
26 Aug 2026 23:15:34
Fair play Robbo. ?
26 Aug 2026 23:27:13
Superb news, but need more. Cheers, Robbo.
26 Aug 2026 23:27:18
Cheers Robbo.
26 Aug 2026 23:30:48
In Robbo we trust. Nice one lad.
26 Aug 2026 23:31:55
Mighty. Much appreciated!
26 Aug 2026 23:34:16
Good spirits, Ron.
26 Aug 2026 23:38:22
Barcola announced in the new kit launch.
26 Aug 2026 23:41:21
Cheers, Robbo. So many different Twitter accounts also reporting as such.
Happy days!!
One more winger and midfielder pleeeeease.
Remember, Iraola has already said he's happy with defence.
26 Aug 2026 23:44:29
Cheers, Robbo, got word it will be Thursday myself but it's done.
26 Aug 2026 23:44:50
I choose to believe it for 2 reasons
1) My mother in law always has a gut feeling the best things happen on a Thursday.
2) Just makes most sense before the weekend games, and then we can focus on the game having got the big signing done and then work away on the potential others!
26 Aug 2026 23:46:34
I thought Barcola might be due a testimonial with us.
27 Aug 2026 00:04:07
Thank you, Robbo, who's next?
27 Aug 2026 00:31:41
Concentrating on Barcola when we need a left-back, right-back, midfielder is ridiculous. This is the problem when you have sporting directors choosing players. Look at the squad Alonso has assembled at Chelsea. It has balance and a system. We still look disjointed. This is going to be a long hard season. They have hung Iraola out to dry and it's a disgrace.
27 Aug 2026 00:44:21
People are really holding up Chelsea as an example to follow? It's easy to build a good squad when you buy 10 players each summer, bend the rules and cheat. They have almost 40 first team players on their books, of course, they have a balanced squad.
27 Aug 2026 01:16:19
Yes, but Chelsea are just a body shop. Bring a batch in on long term contracts and sell them on for a profit a year or two later. It's a business, not a game anymore.
27 Aug 2026 03:50:53
Looks like it's actually done. Announcement tomorrow.
27 Aug 2026 06:15:36
Cheers Robbo, what a palaver!
I wonder if all the time spent on this saga has impacted our efforts to reinforce in other areas, like midfield?
27 Aug 2026 06:32:05
This summer, the prices of wingers have gone totally crazy. Probably partly because everybody knows that a wealthy club like LFC is desperate for a new RW and the transfer window will close very soon.
(I believe the Barcola deal is done by now, so we can focus on the RW.)
Instead of breaking the bank for any PL-unproven young talent now, I would rather go for a safer option this summer.
I think Jarrod Bowen would fill our needs short-term, and then we could use the coming 2-3 years or so to find a long-term alternative.
Bowen might not be the most exciting project, but there's no doubt that he would do a decent job for us as RW with his experience.
And he is PL-proven!
That would give us more time to find a young RW talent that could meet our future needs, and the market for wingers could cool down a little bit.
Premier League is a tough league, and many of the promising talents from abroad might not shine here.
This seems a safer option to me, given the short time left of this transfer window - and all possible selling clubs want to milk "the LFC cow" while we are still desperate (and Hughes is still in charge...).
YNWA.
27 Aug 2026 07:12:33
Cheers Robbo, finally, maybe.
27 Aug 2026 07:06:54
Not sure if true or just an X rumour. But a few posts saying the new 1892 investors are getting involved in the transfer negotiations, not with money, but with expertise.
Again not sure if true.
27 Aug 2026 07:13:54
Great news thanks Robbo
27 Aug 2026 09:05:24
Well done Robbo. Cheers.
27 Aug 2026 12:56:16
Thanks Robbo. ??
