Hi all,
As you may have seen, Barcola deal is now agreed and confirmed. Received wind of this way back in April or May and stuck my neck on the line for it then and I’m glad I did. Minus a few haters, you’re all a really good bunch.
Not sticking my neck on the line with this one, but we are pushing Hard for Lamine Camara.
Player wants the move, as do we, but as far as I know it’s being kept on the quiet side in order to avoid any possible last minute hijackings.
I’m not sure who we are looking at on the right hand side.

Thanks for sharing, Victor. I really hope you're right about Camara!
27 Aug 2026 11:01:12
You called it early, Vic, and let's hope you're right on Camara as well. He looks a good player.
Strong rumours today of Ndiaye from Everton to City for £80m, which would potentially mean Semenyo is available.
27 Aug 2026 11:01:19
Thanks Victor, hard to doubt yourself, Robbo, Fields and Carra. Left things really late, though, haven't we. Hope we get Camara and another rw like you say.
27 Aug 2026 11:02:40
Exciting times! Hopefully we can wrap Camara up quickly. My fear would be them keeping it quiet. They need money, and a bidding war would surely benefit them? Wrap up the window by taking Mbaye off PSG's hands too and it would be a good window.
27 Aug 2026 11:02:46
Great news VG. Barcola left, Szobos right, Camara in the middle. And when you refer to right side, I know you mean right wing, but would prefer a right back.
27 Aug 2026 11:02:57
I would move Scrabble up there and play Camara in the pivot. Not mad keen on anyone bar Rayan.
27 Aug 2026 11:05:42
Thanks Victor, I have noticed more and more negativity from so-called supporters who are very quick to turn on their own. They seem to bask in the notion that someone got something wrong, a very Everton-like mentality!
As for Camara, I would love this to go through, it's a no brainer really.
Very talented and has an engine on him.
For the RW, I wouldn't be adverse to using Dom there and Munoz.
Thanks for all your support to the group!
27 Aug 2026 11:06:09
Never a doubt, VG, and also along with all our other genuine itk's.
Keep it coming and thanks for all your info, it's appreciated!
27 Aug 2026 11:07:27
Yes please, VG, thank you.
27 Aug 2026 11:09:15
Thanks Victor, you are a real ITK, along with Carra, Robbo and TheFields. Don't know where all these other supposed ITKs are popping out from. Some of the posts where there is a lot of praise for a particular new ITK give me multiple account vibes... There was someone that did that recently, right? I forget the name.
27 Aug 2026 11:09:55
Thanks Vic. I for one appreciate the info. Same goes for the other lads too, Fields, Carra, Robbo and Ned. There were other player names shared where people were confident of deals but they didn't happen for one reason or another.
And that doesn't bother me. I much rather come here for info than any other media outlet. I never understand why some posters get so offended by rumours shared on a rumours site. It's the age we're living in I suppose.
27 Aug 2026 11:11:26
VG, I never doubted you and Camara would be a great signing….. Is it done? ?
27 Aug 2026 11:12:24
Great work VG.
27 Aug 2026 11:13:12
I definitely think Camara will sign, apparently turned down Palace as wants LFC move.
27 Aug 2026 11:17:00
Great call, let's hope they can get it over the line. ?
27 Aug 2026 11:17:17
Ignore the negativity, VG, top man for sharing what you have.
27 Aug 2026 11:18:38
Cheers, VG.
Do you know if there's any chance of us managing to move some of the squad players on that are taking up non-HG spots, as the situation, if Barcola and Camara come in, is looking like a problem. Surely Chiesa and Endo have to be shifted by the end of the window?
27 Aug 2026 11:24:16
Cheers, VG.
Camara would be an excellent addition to the midfield mix. Only real weakness is his height.
27 Aug 2026 11:27:57
A West African journo has alluded to this, and it could
mean more than one West African player incoming.
27 Aug 2026 11:31:19
Good stuff, VG. Been on it all summer. I reckon Mbaye could still be on the table.
Minteh and Sarr are unlikely unless we see a bit of a turnaround from their respective clubs. Mbaye, on the other hand, is set to leave this window.
27 Aug 2026 11:33:37
100% VG, you called it and continued saying he's ours, then all of a sudden a load of pretend ITK's hung off your tail and called it as though it was their information. They know who they are, and I'm sure they'll post later with the opening line "as I told you weeks ago".
Nevertheless, 120mil seems a lot of money for a player that I know not a lot about, like most posters on this forum who, like me, probably never heard of him until we showed some interest in him.
27 Aug 2026 11:50:34
I have to say I have been taken aback by the volume of negativity during this window. Hughes has been a lightening rod for this negativity and borderline abuse. Maybe I'm old fashioned, having been a supporter of our fabulous club since the early 60s, through the good times and bad. Let's just get behind the team and stop slagging off players in red.
27 Aug 2026 12:11:37
Cheers, Victor. Hopefully we can pick up someone for the right.
27 Aug 2026 12:16:47
Thanks, Vic!
27 Aug 2026 12:26:03
Victor, is Adam Wharton of interest or have we moved on, mate?
27 Aug 2026 12:55:22
Thanks, VG.
27 Aug 2026 13:13:22
Never doubted you Vic. Camara would be a welcome addition.
27 Aug 2026 13:17:55
Thanks VG
Let's hope Camara comes as I think he's exactly the type of midfielder we need.
I wonder if BB will be eligible in time for sat game.
Have a great wknd
