I also stated in the summer that Rio is viewed as the 'heir' to Salah on the right.
Got a fair bit of flack for that, hopefully you're all now seeing the plan.
He will also be offered the number 11 shirt from next season.
Have a lovely weekend.

You called it Carra.
Any incomings planned for January?
18 Oct 2026 12:26:17
Cheers carra
Is there any truth in us looking to bring in lamine camara in January?
18 Oct 2026 13:00:57
Wouldn't say you got many likes for that comment Carra.?Personally I think, and have for some time the boy will be a star.
Not a sentiment that's shared on here.
18 Oct 2026 13:13:35
Because no one knows how it will work out / if he will be a star or not. He's not Sterling or Owen where it was obvious. Some decent games, some not so decent games. Having Munoz on the right though and keeping Gakpo means maybe the priority isn't a right winger anymore.
Maybe its a combative, tackling midfielder who can cover a load of ground so we can play 2 of Wirtz/Szob/Macca in a midfield 3 and a right back albeit if they still think Bradley is the future then they will continue to plug the gap until he is back.

Cheers Carra, Rio looked a lot stronger on the ball yesterday, that was one of Salah's elite traits.
18 Oct 2026 13:56:09
He is adapting quickly to playing on the right, it's very promising.
18 Oct 2026 13:57:32
Wasn't obvious with Sterling until the 2913/14 season War. His break out year, when he turned 19.until then he had 2 Premier League goals. The same amount as Rio. People remember incorrectly. At Rio's age Sterling had done very little, in a much weaker squad.

Cheers Carra. Your info is pretty solid as always mate.
18 Oct 2026 16:30:36
How likely is Alex Scott? We've been getting linked with him quite a bit.
I would take Camara personally since he's the cheaper option and gives us more room to fix the squad but I can understand if we're hesitant about how he adapts to the league. Also, we need to fix the situation with HG spots.

I'm not in this Rio fanfare camp as you know and although he had a decent cameo yesterday he'd want to be extra productive between now and seasons end for me to think he's the future RW for LFC. Talented, but he's nothing special. IMO only of course.
18 Oct 2026 18:47:53
Fair do's Florian, you got a better memory than me. I just remember loads of hype getting him from QPR wasn't it and then he was in the team and the speed he had and his trickery at getting passed defenders.
But he couldn't shoot and wasn't ever a massive goal scorer was he? . But I've realised at my age i have prob forgotten more seasons than i can now remember.

I think Rio has a lot of improvements needed to his game but I think he looks and sounds like he has the right attitude and work ethic.
So with them traits I think AI will improve him as we have seen at Bournemouth.
Last season was was waisted because of Slot.
18 Oct 2026 20:04:54
It will be nice if he makes it with us. I like the lad and love to see an academy lad make it.
For me though he's just still so young and raw. I'd still be bringing in someone to slot right in on the right in the January window if possible, or summer.
You can do that and Rio will ready in a few years time. The thought of him being first choice right now is quite scary to be honest.
18 Oct 2026 20:52:59
Nice to hear from you Carra. Cheers for the update.
Been steering clear of here a bit lately as it's constant doom and gloom and getting a little sick of it.
19 Oct 2026 06:49:45
Cheers carra appreciated as always.
19 Oct 2026 08:13:25
Cheers mate for the info.
Still think there are two players in front of him for that position. I really like Munoz and his style of play, he also seems a lot more productive in the final third. Would be sad to see his place go to Rio just because he has potential, we need results now not potential. Hopefully in a few years he gets to half the level of Salah and makes the spot his, i can see him doing it but he is a long way off at this stage of his development.
