Liverpool FC Rumours

22 Nov 2025 16:59:47
Not my rumour but more an overheard rumour. ironed out details tomorrow and Arne gone on Monday. don't hate on me it was just overheard.

22 Nov 2025 17:11:50
Straight after the a bad defeat you heard that. Listen I want him gone but come on.

22 Nov 2025 17:14:27
Fingers crossed, he’s an absolute liability and has obviously lost the dressing room.

22 Nov 2025 17:24:36
The Athletic's John Mackenzie when predicting Liverpool's trajectory at the beginning of LAST season: "[Slot's system] will show a lot of upside in the first season, and then in the second season you have problems that start showing".

22 Nov 2025 17:20:07
And who replaces him?

22 Nov 2025 17:23:04
Hopefully it happens, lack of quality managers out there at the moment though but anything is better than the dross we’ve had since January.

22 Nov 2025 17:23:39
Of course, 30 minutes after the game,
And it is already decided that he is gone (should be) and it starting to make waves.

Make total sense.

Come on. Let's not start with this rubbish.
At least try and make it reasonable.

He should be sacked that's for sure, but let's not pretend that this already decided.

22 Nov 2025 17:30:56
WHO? Nuno on a short contract or Iraola?

22 Nov 2025 17:33:29
Your track record with rumours is worse than Liverpool’s form.

22 Nov 2025 17:34:45
Honest question was slot a top coach when winning the eredivisie in holland while not at Ajax at PSV? when the famous ed002 was touting him? when he won the league in his 1st season when most pundits hadus doing well to get top4?if the answer to these is yes has Slot just overnight become a terrible manager? im against sacking him but realise how it works but still think its crazy.

He's done things backwards, if u asked any Lfc fan the day slot got the job if theyd be haply to get top 4 nd win the league the following year they'dhave been over the moon but maybe this is the year to bed in new players get top 4.Have a good go at the fa cup and champs league in the new year.

22 Nov 2025 17:36:03
Even if this is more on Hughes or Edwards in terms of buying the wrong players and the structure at the club, the problem is that we now have all of these players on long and expensive contracts and need to use them.

Arne has shown he really can’t mould this into a winning team, he seems to have lost the faith of many of the fans because of that, and maybe also some of the players. It’s the reality of football that it’s usually the coach who goes first not the director of football so it won’t be a surprise if he’s gone by Monday.

22 Nov 2025 17:38:39
Surely he has to go. Even if we hadn’t spent close to £500 million this summer, it is still an unacceptable situation for us to be in.

Odds on next manager seem to suggest Glasner as a favourite should slot be sacked. Isn’t Zidane also out of work atm?

Difficult times.

22 Nov 2025 17:50:24
Glasner? . my God. People were complaining on here last year when we wer winning but they weren't entertained. wait till they geyt a load of Glasner.

22 Nov 2025 17:57:09
I'll wait to read what Carra has to say before believing this, but it is a rumour site and I appreciate the info.

22 Nov 2025 17:57:27
Would Glasner be the favourite over Iraola, and if so, why?

22 Nov 2025 17:58:48
Given where we are do we need a big name, and a big personality, with a track record of winning trophies rather than someone on the up like Iraola.

Jurgen would be the obvious one, but he probably wouldn't work with Edwards again and equally the pressure maybe too much right now. I’d look towards someone who’s managing or managed high level in Spain or Italy.

22 Nov 2025 18:02:55
Nuno?
He’s West Ham’s manager. He won’t be coming in as an interim.
Iraola, I don’t think he’ll leave mid season.

Respect the OP for putting out the info but it’s bunk in my opinion.
Slot will be manager in May unless he walks first.
It’s a World Cup year, you’re not getting new managers mid season. It’ll all happen after the World Cup.

22 Nov 2025 18:04:46
The irony if it were to be Glasner in the middle of the season. Wow.

22 Nov 2025 18:19:19
Ron, why what international manager’s would we be linked with? Tuchel, Nagelsman? Liverpool won’t keep a manager simply because there is no one else available. We’ve had an interim when Roy got the bullet so this is no different.

22 Nov 2025 18:20:21
Ireola by a mile over Glasner but i reitterate Slot should not be sacked. im sure the likes of Shanks, bob nd kenny had times like these.

22 Nov 2025 18:23:56
Could people stop suggesting Zidane. He is unavailable to manage right now.

22 Nov 2025 18:30:11
One of the first things Slot did was ditch the pre-season hard running, lactic tests etc, something that was at the very core of how Klopp played and gave us the most exciting, effective football in recent memory. An interview with Ox recently highlighted this, about how he was wrecked at first but after a few month, out running your opponent was easy.


Slot has slowly undone everything that made us tick and his brand of football is terrible. No balance, no chemistry, terrible man management when you think of dropping Ekitike for Isak, or ignoring Chiesa. He's the anti-klopp at this point and there's no way i can see him turning this around.

22 Nov 2025 19:02:26
Sir Alex Ferguson is available.

22 Nov 2025 19:10:44
I did say no my rumour, thanks for the hate that I asked against. Wait til Monday. I am in no way slot out just to add.

22 Nov 2025 19:21:57
Would Klopp ever come back interim for the rest of the season while find someone 🤷🏼‍♂️ can’t see Red Bull giving him leave of absence to do it of course - but I would take it if could be done!

Iraola would be interesting to see, Glasner has worked miracles at Palace - not sure he’s quite right, could be proven wrong.

Not many out there I can think of that are possible otherwise.

22 Nov 2025 19:32:18
I thought Carra mentioned inzagi but I could be wrong. There was also mention of klopp with gerrard waiting in the wings.

22 Nov 2025 20:07:33
Damage limitation for the remainder of the season just to ensure a top 4 finish, you do not need to be world class to get top 4 with this team.

22 Nov 2025 21:39:16
Frode,
It’s not just International managers who we’d be interested in, it’s the fact that there are fewer managerial moves as they wait for things to shake up after the World Cup.

22 Nov 2025 23:48:29
Mickey Mouse could replace him and we’d be better off at this stage I bet he wouldn’t lose 6 out of 7 league games.

23 Nov 2025 10:13:59
He is on borrowed time.

23 Nov 2025 12:51:04
People asking who could come in and take over from Arne not that i am for sacking a manger who is having a bad run.

Who would be available: Zidane but he wants the French national side, What about Xavi former Barcelona manager he is out of work and has won the La League title as a player and coach.
YNWA.

21 Nov 2025 10:27:55
Bradley injured again and also Wirtz. At least they can't be blamed by some people on here like they usually are when things go wrong.

21 Nov 2025 10:30:43
Well great, now all our right backs are injured it means Dom has to play there again. : (.

{Ed025's Note - i have never seen such a fall from grace PB, after walking the league last year and purchasing some of the most sought after players in the world it now seems none of them are very good at all, the ones that are good are injury prone and the manager couldn,t run a raffle it seems?, its a good job you have the "best supporters in the world" or you could be in real trouble mate...unbelievable Jeff..

21 Nov 2025 10:44:23
Just you wait @25 - we win our next four league games and we shall resume our rightful place as the best team there’s ever been anywhere, ever!

{Ed025's Note - i hope you do WDW..it might stop all the moaning mate.. :)

21 Nov 2025 10:45:32
Are you being sarcastic, ed025? I'm not panicking about this team.

{Ed025's Note - not sarcasm PB..realism, it seems that according to a lot on here that Kirkez and Frimpong were bad buys, Isak is a croc, your main man is over the hill and Macca and Gakpo should be sold, Konate is gash, VVD is coming to the end marmalade is not good enough and Bradley cant do the job asked of him...plus the managers job is hanging by a thread mate!, im not making this up this is comments im reading on these pages my friend..

21 Nov 2025 10:53:40
Sounds like Wirtz is very minor and will only miss the one game.

Having no recognised RB available for the next 7 games though is a major blow. Gomez also missed training yesterday and has played 90 mins twice in the last 11 months so he is not very likely to be of much help. As a result it is unfortunately likely that Dom will end up playing RB quite a bit. He was excellent when he played there last time but hopefully Slot can find somebody else to fill in (Jones or Endo? ) because for me we need both Grav and Dom in the midfield.

On a positive note though I'm ecstatic to have Ali back. Hopefully he can add a little bit more calm to our back line.

21 Nov 2025 11:15:47
Sadly, it is not surprising that Conor Bradley broke down again. This has been the story of his career to date.

Sounds like Frimpong is out for a while yet too.

So, Arne has some choices to make.

Sign two defenders in January please, Dickie,

21 Nov 2025 11:16:41
Going to presume Ramsey is not even Slot's thinking for RB, was far from the poorest player vs Palace.

21 Nov 2025 11:10:01
Couldn’t agree more 25 mate, some of our fan base these days…. Embarrassing.

{Ed025's Note - spoiled i would say Drogie mate..

21 Nov 2025 11:16:49
Bradley can't do the job asked of him, Ed25 because the lads always injured mate lol.

{Ed025's Note - get rid of him then Salah, another one out the door mate.. :)

21 Nov 2025 11:28:44
Considering everything you said ed it has been a fall from grace. Excellent players, a seemingly excellent coach (by last years standards at least) but not the results or performances to match.
That makes it all the more confusing.
The players have obviously not all become terrible but something is clearly wrong.

{Ed025's Note - there has been a lot of changes Mic and some will obviously take time to settle, but dont throw the baby out with the bath water mate..

21 Nov 2025 11:33:34
I do think Ramsay deserves some time coming off the bench at least, he looked right at home against Palace and looks to have good delivery out wide and progressing the ball in the build up.

I feel like Dom is going to be an absolutely massive miss in midfield if he does end up playing full back, he is the most crucial player in our press from the front.

21 Nov 2025 11:51:46
It's clear that we need Szobo in midfield, so I would be rotating Gomez, Curtis and Ramsey in that position over the next month. Horses for courses.

We shall see what Arne chooses to do.

21 Nov 2025 12:37:19
This is the sort of moment where Klopp would put in a kid and give them a chance. He did it multiple times with the likes of Trent, Bajcetic, Phillips, N. Williams, R. Williams, Jones, Elliott, Kelleher, Quansah, Bradley etc.

We need Slot to show that same level of bravery. Ramsay has to play. Stop disrupting the whole team just to avoid trusting a youth player. The best young talent will soon stop coming to us if Slot / Hughes persist with selling them all off and putting midfielders out of position to cover injuries.

21 Nov 2025 13:36:47
Bradley just can't string any sort of run of together at all. plays 3/ 4 games then out for 3 weeks with muscle injury, rinse repeat. So disappointing as he great potential but his injury problems are serous concern at this stage.
I'd like to see Ramsey get a rattle at it, certainly in the home games.

21 Nov 2025 14:04:01
I think Slot will take a punt on Ramsey at some point in the next three weeks tbh. Can't see him rotating Gomez and Szob there for the duration.

21 Nov 2025 14:06:31
Although now that I think of it, is Ramsey registered to play in the PL?

21 Nov 2025 14:38:05
If he decides to go with szob over Gomez or Ramsey at rb well he me aswell leave now.

21 Nov 2025 16:48:28
Coming up against, supposedly the best MF in the league means we need our very best MF at full tilt.

21 Nov 2025 17:02:47
I think he will play Curtis right back.

21 Nov 2025 17:56:13
Gomez should play RB.

21 Nov 2025 18:35:04
I agree with MK, Slot needs to be more brave and give young ones some chance.

21 Nov 2025 19:47:46
Spoiled for calling awful awful? The manager seems clueless and his tactics can’t be defended. None of those players have turned bad over night.

{Ed025's Note - no spoiled for lack of support when your team is going through a rough patch FK, a rough patch where you beat Villa and Real Madrid i may add, being in 5th at this stage is not a crisis imo mate..

21 Nov 2025 20:47:31
@MK, of your list if you take TAA out how many on the list established themselves as regular starters for the club? Love the optimism but have concerns about the likely outcome.

21 Nov 2025 21:39:54
Ed025 you nailed it in your summary. but even a blue nose can see the ineptitude of this team n manager this year . we sailed the league last year n added 400 mill worth of top quality players.

so in reality we should be top of every comp we play in. But the reality is we are awful n that's being generous. 7th in the league n hardly played well in a quarter of those games . now that's the reality.

{Ed025's Note - im not saying its great Strom but its not easy trying to integrate new players and for them to just seamlessly fit into a project mate, but you stick by them through thick and thin (not that your lot know much about thin), it will come good i can assure you..

21 Nov 2025 23:19:37
There’s a joke there somewhere about knowing the ‘thick’ …….

22 Nov 2025 00:19:47
Hoping that it's curtis Jones at right back, we need Szobo in midfield he is that important, if Szobo is at right back I will be so disappointed, plus Slot will get even more bad press.

22 Nov 2025 00:27:42
That brings me to think about moving Bradley further up the pitch even taking over from Salah, doesn't he play there for his country,
We need to bring in a solid and bigger right back, that would give Kerkev the opportunity to bomb up and down the left side just like he did for Bournemouth, isn't that why we brought him in, not passing back to Big Virg most of the time.


We really need to beat Forest,
Give us more confidence and win a few more games.

22 Nov 2025 08:41:42
For me we shouldn’t play Gomez at right back today we need to keep cover for virg and konate as we are entering the busy period and need to be mindful of that . But Gomez should be starting to get minutes in his legs for when he is needed via a rest or suspension so me personally think the best options are either jones right back and go with dom in the 10 or dom right back mac in the 10 and jones sitting . Grav needs to be playing the box to box role as he’s brilliant at carrying the ball forward wastes sitting deeper .
We do have some very good youngsters aswell . Endo can fill in at centre half and defence also . We do need a centre half in jan and I would argue a right full back also .

Bradley is a good player but he seems to break down way to quick frimpong with his pace will always have hamstring issues . The lad from Brentford Kayode looks a real decent talent and on to he looks a physical specimen . Something we are lacking . Kerkez just needs time and better tactics to see best of his game . If Kerkez was under klopp same with frimpong having an out and out 6 in midfield to drop in we would be raving about the pair I’m sure . Attacking full backs playing conservative just enhances their weaknesses not their talent . I really like slot but he needs to address the dm role and play to squad strengths IMO.

{Ed001's Note - Kayode can play left-back as well and has a long throw - would be an excellent signing, should have signed him in the summer really.}

22 Nov 2025 09:00:45
You would swear no other team strengthened this summer. Yes we spent the most but we also recouped the most. We bought some top very expensive players but we also lost the likes of Trent, Diaz, Jota nd Nunez. players who knew the league. its not a given that just because we opened the chequebook after winning the league (in a season where no one gave our squad a hope of winning it i may add) that we should walk it this year it doesn't work like that.

We've hardly had a player who cost 125m of that on the pitch for starters. And calling a manager who delivered No.20 inept, i just don't know anymore.

22 Nov 2025 09:50:32
For many it’s not all about the league position, it’s about a style of play that you can have hope about and look forward to watching. that's been missing most of this season, and parts of last season despite the success.

In phases of the Real Madrid match we were very good, the intensity and quality got the crowd going, and the crowd also helped the players sustain it. We’re not going to get that every week, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect something approaching that in more of the home games at least.

For me that’s the biggest missing piece under Slot, he just hasn’t harnessed the energy of Anfield and pushed the intensity when we play at home in the way that he could have done. Our results have mainly been good, but it’s often very slow and conservative football.

22 Nov 2025 10:50:14
Just crazy to me. The bloke wins the title in his only season and he hasn't harnessed the energy of Anfield? Who knows what we'll do this season teams have won the league from further back than we are. More than two thirds of the season to go.

22 Nov 2025 11:11:31
I’m not saying we can’t do it and play with real intensity and get the crowd going, I’m just saying more often than not this season we don’t. That was often the case last season as well. We were slow and measured first half, conserved energy and then stepped it up second half in a lot of games.

It worked in the sense our injuries were reduced, got by without much rotation, and we won a lot more than we lost and it was obviously great to win a title. That was last season.

If we can get Isak and Wirtz ticking and tighten up a bit we’ll start winning more frequently, and then give it a real go after Christmas when players start coming back from injury. Also if we can do it with more intensity and style even better because that’s what we’re capable of.

22 Nov 2025 11:07:50
Ed025.I also think it will come good eventually. but at the moment its not acceptable, there doesn't seem to be anything good to shout about. the boring slow football getting served up is shocking . we fans do stay through the thick n thin as you say.

iv supported us when we was winning everything to when we had to wait for Klopp to arrive . can't call the fans for not accepting this football esp after what we've spent n with us being champions the year bfr. anyway end of my lil rant.

22 Nov 2025 11:49:01
Thats the spirit Hugo!

22 Nov 2025 16:55:25
3-0 loss at home to Forest. Not good enough is it Ed025. For me Slot has to go. 8 defeats from 11 is shocking.

{Ed025's Note - that was poor Tom and i was looking for a response after last week mate but it never happened...the manager has to go im afraid mate..

22 Nov 2025 17:54:03
Really Ed? i get the normal frustrated heads saying that but surprised u think so. why do you mind if i ask do you think that (apart from obviously the horrendous run of form) . Do you not thi k he's shown enough in his career to deserve a bit of time?

{Ed025's Note - i dont really think so you know FM, because i dont see it getting any better anytime soon mate..

22 Nov 2025 19:03:59
I get what you mean Ed i really do but when do the players stand up. Liverpool should not be losing 3-0 to forest at home.

{Ed025's Note - unfortunately you cant sack the players FM..

20 Nov 2025 22:56:09
Hello all,

A good chance we will cash out on a big star or two.

Macca being one and potentially Gakpo.

Huge interest in both, big big figures being banded about.

Semenyo is very close, Guehi being renegotiated, know more next week.

Ta.

{Ed078's Note - thanks Carra, much appreciated.

20 Nov 2025 23:14:36
Who has the money for Gakpo? Bayern are well stocked and the Italians are skint. Do Athleti need that profile of player?

Newcastle could use a Gakpo - 80m, please.

20 Nov 2025 23:20:14
Thanks Carra. Good info.

20 Nov 2025 23:53:53
Thanks Carra.

21 Nov 2025 00:16:02
Wow, thanks Carra. Think your namesake Macca would suit Spanish football better and we would still get top dollar for him from one of the Madrid Clubs. Hopefully, get Stiller in to replace him, which could free Grav up.

21 Nov 2025 01:28:33
Thx Carra. Can we expect out goings in Jan?

21 Nov 2025 01:46:51
Thanks Carra. Gapko too? Didn’t see that coming. Does that we would finally see Slot play Chiesa? 😃.

21 Nov 2025 02:02:04
What is the obsession with Chiesa?
Clearly not good enough, he has had chances in the team and didn’t take them? He is injury prone, and is not rated by the senior management staff at the club which is enough for me to think we should let him go back to Italy.

21 Nov 2025 02:58:30
Carra- you are just awesome mate.

21 Nov 2025 04:33:34
Cheers Carra for update. If we lose Macca does this not leave the midfield short in numbers?

21 Nov 2025 04:56:44
Gakpo is a surpising one.
I rate him so personally would hate to lose him.

21 Nov 2025 05:50:55
Lad's I definitely wouldn't be too upset if Macca was sold. As for Gakpo I think there's still a player there for us.

21 Nov 2025 06:43:14
Thanks Carra.
Didn’t see a Gakpo exit coming - great info, much appreciated.

21 Nov 2025 07:19:25
Shuges55 that is the worst take i've seen all season. Chiesa has given drive energy and direction when he's come on in games. He's performed well and way above the players that he replaced. The " chances " he gets to start games are in the league cup with a mixture of fringe players and under 23s playing out of position.

he's had a far better season than most who start games regularly . So he stays its Salah that needs to go. He should ever have been given that contract last season.

21 Nov 2025 07:19:48
Exactly what chances did Chiesa get? Maybe Slot just doesn't like him or what he brings, maybe his fitness is just not at a level where he can play a lot of minutes regularly, but to say that he got ample opportunity to prove himself and that he wasted them all is just nonsense to me.

21 Nov 2025 07:39:18
“Obsession with Chiesa” clearly with the fact that most times he’s appeared he’s done well and Slot, who currently seems inept refuses to give him an actual run.

I like Macca and Gakpo, happy to keep them but wouldn’t lose sleep if they left.

21 Nov 2025 07:41:27
Oh no .

If gakpo goes. that doesn't mean we will start sniffing round Gordon again does it. . can't imagine Newcastle would love us knocking on their door again.

Not too bothered about macca going . think we could replace . not cheaply . but replace for sure. Nice tidy little player but just too slow and lightweight for my personal liking n a midfield player.

21 Nov 2025 08:06:30
Macca has just been too inconsistent, and would be better suited to a slower league. It’s interesting though as we don’t get linked with many centre mids.

Getting Wharton out of Palace won’t be easy, and there’s rumours of Baleba going in Jan to Man Utd. Maybe we’re being forced into a move before those players join other clubs.

21 Nov 2025 08:12:36
Surely if they go they will be replaced? Slot already moaning about squad depth. Two difficult players to replace also.

21 Nov 2025 08:50:58
Thanks Carra, always massively appreciated yours updates. 👍🏻👍🏻.

21 Nov 2025 09:43:51
As much as Semenyo would be an amazing and exciting signing I think that Guehi is the bigger need. Would love to see both arrive in Jan.

Interesting regarding the possible outgoings. I have been expecting Macca to move on (probably to Madrid) but Gakpo would be a surprise to me.

Wharton in for Macca?
Fofana in for Gakpo?

21 Nov 2025 09:57:27
Cheers, Carra.

Those potential sales do not surprise me. The Macca one has been talked about a lot here already with Real keen.

With Gakpo, he was never really an Edwards type forward anyway. Not sure who would pay big money for him though. Milan showed interest in summer had Rafael Leao moved on.

21 Nov 2025 10:02:34
I know some have a dislike of Macca, but on form, he is one of the best, minus the theatrics.
He is probably better suited to a slower league, and as a latin man, he will obviously end up there.

Elliot and Wharton may be better suited to our needs long term.

21 Nov 2025 10:23:58
Is there anybody in the squad that people actually rate?

21 Nov 2025 10:24:54
If true, I’ll be really sorry to see Gakpo
go . Yeh he’s a bit predictable in his play but he always gives his best and can score .
It’s a shame about Macca too but if he wants to go we should definitely cash in on him .

21 Nov 2025 10:50:55
Cant believe the negativity towards Macca and maybe him leaving. On his day he is one of the best around. Like a lot of others he hasn't had a good start to the season but struggled with injury and looked good vs Real. I for one hope he stays.

21 Nov 2025 11:57:23
If Macca chooses to sign a new deal and stay then great. He's an excellent player and brings a lot to the group.

But equally, if we cash in on him to bring more legs, physicality and verticality to our one-paced team, then you can understand the thinking.

21 Nov 2025 21:00:06
Don’t get me wrong, I like Cody Henry 😉, but the lad seems to have hit his peak and is rather predictable (he always cuts inside) .
MacA is also a good player, does a lot of the graft, but he can’t stay on his feet long enough.

With Cody potentially on the move I have to wonder if we’re changing our lineup and going 2 up top.

22 Nov 2025 00:39:34
Gakpo does get the occasional goal but his first 3 shots go into Row X
Plus he makes the same move every time, easy to read, needs to up his game alright.

22 Nov 2025 09:20:51
Gakpo serves up the numbers, but is he the best for the big picture of how the team should function as a whole? If he is to be sold, that would surely be the reason - its much more nuanced than just saying, he scores goals so keep him.

Besides, i support the club - players come and go, some are 'loyal' and some are just passing through, but none of that matters, its just life.

19 Nov 2025 16:29:59
Someone asked me to pour cold water on the Umpecano rumours. Just picked a bucket of water up from the artic and its being poured as we speak.

3 defenders being looked at, Guehi we all know about and Ordonez as mentioned below. The Bastoni rumours ain't going away either, not a Jan transfer tho. More of a summer one to replace Konate. As from what I have heard, the club are losing patience with him.

None of that is the reason I came on here tho. I have been contacted by an agent, looking to relocate a player to the North West from the South Coast of the UK. It could be a few players but from what he told me, I believe this to be Semenyo. Which backs up what a lot of others gave been saying on here.

19 Nov 2025 17:05:36
Always appreciate the insight 👍
Bastoni would be some signing, I think we all agree he would be the best long term successor to VVD.

19 Nov 2025 18:48:42
We've got a great hand, but no full house yet. Players like Bastoni bring the royal flush. I wonder how Mo would feel about having rock-solid competition in Semenyo.

19 Nov 2025 19:41:41
EM, I think you're right and the reason he is seen as a Konate replacement is because he is expected to leave.

Banana, I've heard from a realiable source Salah is off in the summer. He loves the club of course but 1 of the reasons he signed his contract was because of the way the fanbase turned on that Spanish right back that's currently sat on Real's bench. The thing is none of us would of, as the other lad was local but it turned out he was born in Madrid. Salah would of and will get the send of he deserves.

19 Nov 2025 20:52:37
Thank you for the insight.
We are very luck to have you, ned-derino and macca on here.

Sorry if missed anyone - much appreciated.

19 Nov 2025 21:58:06
Macca, carra - same same 😅😜.

19 Nov 2025 21:05:03
Thefields - That makes sense. It always felt like the 2 year contract was to protect his value. Mo came as an unknown quantity and leaves as one of footballs and LFC's legends.

Ed says Mo won't be going to Saudi, but who else is going to pay for him? He's got some years left in him in a slower, less physical league.
Any ideas where he may go, if not Saudi? Bayern?

20 Nov 2025 00:48:56
There's always the MLS too, Banana. Less physical but still offering top wages for old and retiring players.

20 Nov 2025 05:58:47
I’m off the thinking Salah has unfinished business at Liverpool still and he won’t want to leave on a poor performance season

I think him and Semenyo could definitely play in the same team and also fight for the same position

I know the tactics aren’t there yet…
But a front line of squad depth
Rio
Gakpo

Isak
Ekitike

Salah
Semenyo

Chiesa (if he is to stay)

Anyone remember Balotelli, Lambert and Borini as our front three?

20 Nov 2025 08:35:44
Fields mate - if Arsenal enter the race, for Semenyo could be a problem? Arsenal fan apparently

Cheers
Drogie.

20 Nov 2025 13:19:32
I’d read that Arsenal were looking at Rodrygo rather Semenyo? Hopefully they follow up on that as he’s Antony mk2.

20 Nov 2025 16:03:41
Drogie, I don't think we have to worry about that. Arsenal don't need him, they have Martinelli, Eze, Mandueke, Saka and Nwaneri for their wide positions. I'm of the personal opinion that Semenyo is better than all but Saka. Still Arsenal won't move for him because of that depth.

20 Nov 2025 17:54:23
Thanks Fields.

20 Nov 2025 21:34:16
Not sure the Upamecano stuff was ever really a thing.

21 Nov 2025 07:27:33
Interesting video from David Lynch got put up yesterday specifically on the subject of Semenyo, bit of balanced commentary to offset the almost unanimous consensus that he'd be a top player for us.

Basically Lynch, in assessing the long term stats of the player, comes to the conclusion that the numbers he is putting up (goal involvements, that is), are an aberration in the context of his career, and while they could suggest a drastic upward trajectory when everything finally clicks for the player and he starts flying, it could also mean that it is simply a hot streak and not replicable over the long term. Among the more eye-raising stats is the fact that Semenyo took 126 shots to score 11 goals last year, and the vast majority of those shots were not rated as good chances xG wise. Also the fact that Semenyo, by any metric, is not a particularly creative player in terms of providing assists, and that he is actually on the bottom end of wingers and attacking midfielders (I think I remember in the 18th percentile or something? ) when it comes to creating chances.

Now I'm still very much for signing the player because I think he gives us something that we lack in terms of graft, pure pace, physicality, engine/ willingness to press and trickery, and I think that in the short term we aren't looking for him to score a lot of goals but to give us a Diaz-like capacity to carry and pen full backs back/ create chaos in the final third with his dribbling ability, and I get that if he finally does replace Mo, there are goals in the side through our other attacking additions, but Lynch's commentary is still worth a watch and warrants some reflection/ discussion.

18 Nov 2025 13:26:09
Hi Diddly Ho, rumourinos

To reiterate what Carra has said - we will be trying to bring Semenyo in January, my personal opinion is that it’ll be done before the window even opens.

Guehi is still being considered in January however CP are currently asking for what we offered in the summer - could be another saga.

I’ve seen a couple of people on other forums and community’s suggest Salah will go in the summer - debunking this now, he is happy and settled and the club are not looking to move him on, despite his ‘lack’ of form this season. The club doesn’t view players like a lot of the internet fans out there, they actually work with the players day in day out.

And lastly, I’ve heard a couple of quiet hints pointing toward another defensive minded addition the club have checked in on. Could fizzle out, could ramp up fast. If it turns into anything more than background chatter, I’ll drop the update straight away. Not one of the usual names that does the rounds - speculate at your will but once I hear more concrete I’ll be sure to let you all know.

Diddly Out.

18 Nov 2025 14:44:30
Come on Ned, give us the name of the defender. I will not be diddled!

18 Nov 2025 14:50:24
Thank you, neighbour.

The hint is in "defensive minded" - which is implies it is not a defender, but most probably a defensive midfielder.

Not the usual names - so you can rule out Baleba, Anderson and Wharton.

So, time to speculate :)

18 Nov 2025 15:15:18
Another £100m+ in January, wow. Hopefully the right players this time round.

18 Nov 2025 15:19:23
Lavia?

18 Nov 2025 15:35:31
Thanks for telling us what the tea leaves have portended.

18 Nov 2025 15:41:41
Joel Ordóñez.

Ta.

18 Nov 2025 15:58:23
FPF, I'm not sure how many top class DM's are realistic options this January. I mean quickly looking through all the starting DM's in the Premier League I can only really see Sander Berge, Tyler Adams, Ethan Ampadu, Boubacar Kamara and Joao Gomes as legitimate options, if we're also looking to sign Semenyo and Guehi who will already be close to £100m in terms of layout. Are any of them good enough? Adams is probably the best there but Bournemouth must be sick of the sight of us by now.

Wharton, Anderson, Baleba etc are all going to cost close to £80m i would guess. Guimaraes, Paulinha, Rodri, Zubimendi, Caicedo, Casemiro etc all play for our rivals and will not be sold to us for any cost.

If we really fancy a gamble then Matts Wieffer at Brighton is a player Slot knows very well, but he's been playing RB for them this season and is unproven as a DM in the Premier League. But Slot's Feyenoord team was very much built around him as the anchor.

Otherwise I suppose we'd look abroad, but I think if we do business in January it's because we're desperate for whoever we sign to hit the ground running and therefore should be targeting players who won't need an adjustment period or pre-season to adapt to the tempo of the Premier League. Hence the serious interest in Semenyo and Guehi.

18 Nov 2025 17:55:45
Stiller?
Ederson (Atalanta) ? Or if a defender then Ordonez or Ait Boudial.

18 Nov 2025 18:34:36
Much appreciated, pass on my best wishes to Rod and Todd.

18 Nov 2025 18:31:12
If i remember correctly, Gomes was a player Ed001 wanted us to sign back in the summer of ‘24.
Would he still be on your list Ed?

{Ed001's Note - Joao Gomes from Wolves? I would like him defo, very good player or his partner in midfield there, Andre. Either/or.}

18 Nov 2025 19:11:46
Ed, Has Gomes kicked on? Are he or Andre suitably defensive?

{Ed001's Note - kicked on? In what way? He has been excellent for Wolves, him and Andre by far and away their best players which is why Pereira ended up getting the tin tack for moronically dropping them. They are both a little too defensive together for the way they play, but that was down to idiotic tactics. As a pair they are very good defensively, Andre often used to play in central defence.}

18 Nov 2025 22:12:52
All of Sander Berge, Tyler Adams, Ethan Ampadu, Boubacar Kamara are dreadful for one reason or another. Far rather give Bajcetic a chance than waste money on dross like that.

18 Nov 2025 22:48:51
I'm quite sad actually, on how more people started calling for Salah to be moved on.

19 Nov 2025 07:17:08
Ed, would Andre or Gomes solve our problems? How would they improve upon Alexis/ Jones?

{Ed001's Note - they can defend for starters but nothing can fix the problems of tactics, except changing them.}

19 Nov 2025 07:37:36
Joel Ordoñez is an exciting young defender with excellent reading of the game, strong man-marking, and elite long passing. His defensive instincts are well-developed, but he needs to refine his decision-making in certain scenarios, particularly out of possession, when facing quick attackers or when stepping up into midfield areas. Improving his aerial ability and ball control would also make him a more complete defender.

While Ordoñez has the potential to establish himself at a high level in European football, his physical profile (standing at 185 cm / 6’1″) could impose certain limitations. He lacks the standout physical attributes needed to fully compensate for his height. He doesn’t have the pace for a wide centre back or the aerial ability for a central centre back.

Given his composure on the ball and strong distribution, a move to Spain or France would likely suit him better than the Premier League, allowing him to maximize his strengths in a league that values technical ability over physicality.

19 Nov 2025 08:08:48
This is the first time I've seen someone who is 188cm described as not being tall enough. But I took a look and you're right. If he joined, he'd be the joint shortest CB we have, tied with Gomez. Even if Quansah was around, he'd still be the shortest.

Guehi is shorter at 181cm though but he is PL tested and has proven to have the physical attributes. Ordonez is from the less physical Belgian league so he'd be in for a rude shock when coming up against strikers like Woltemade or Haaland.

19 Nov 2025 08:12:01
For once, I agree Victor. I just don't see a viable DM option for the January window. I'd be patient and look to Wharton or Anderson next summer. Bajcetic may even come good. At one stage he was very highly thought of by our entire fanbase.

19 Nov 2025 09:06:45
João gomes is a brilliant player, I'd be very happy if we got him in. It doesn't seem like we're interested in him though, which is a shame.

19 Nov 2025 09:37:18
Ederson, Angelo Stiller, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Djaoui Cisse, Luciene Agoume, Chema Andres, Mandela Keita.

19 Nov 2025 11:56:36
Asking Grav to push up and score more looked like a master-stroke only a few weeks ago.

I hope Baj steps up and proves a few wrong. He was brilliant that one very poor season, but as people have said, there doesn't appear to be any quick fixes, and this really will be our transitional season.

19 Nov 2025 13:05:18
Quinten Timber, played for Slot at Feyenoord and free in the summer. Good all round midfielder.

19 Nov 2025 15:28:29
Carra and Ned: if Ordonez is our Jan target, are we still looking a the profile of a Guehi (not the tallest, but a good player of the ball out of the back) on a free or at a lower cost addition at CB, with Konate and Gomez likely to be moved on with our options in the summer Guehi/ VVD as the first choice with Ordonez and Leoni as the backup pairing?

20 Nov 2025 01:14:19
Ed have you heard anything on Elliot Anderson as our potential midfielder?

{Ed001's Note - no.}

17 Nov 2025 21:15:00
Hello all,

A deal in January for Semenyo seen as no problem to Liverpool.

Player wants LFC.

Ta.

17 Nov 2025 21:23:57
This would be a fantastic signing in my opinion Carra.

Cheers for the info

Checking in from journey near Brisbane, Australia.

Bazza.

17 Nov 2025 21:32:24
Thanks as always for the info Carra.

17 Nov 2025 21:38:30
Hopefully the club can get this wrapped up at the very start of the window, release clause makes things pretty straightforward as I’m pretty sure it will be a case of pay up or move on as Bournemouth are in no need to sell and know they will get there fee one way or another.

17 Nov 2025 21:38:40
Hi Carra, would you expect to see a forward move to make room? Chiesa probably the most likely unfortunately but feels like Rio could do with a loan or consistent football back with the under 23s.

17 Nov 2025 21:54:57
Would be a great addition . tricky fast and strong.

17 Nov 2025 22:11:41
Nice one Carra. He would be a top signing for us. Hope it happens.

17 Nov 2025 22:21:40
Semenyo would be a great signing, spot on attitude, physically strong, quick, hard worker. Counts as homegrown too.

17 Nov 2025 22:33:17
Cheers as always, Carra.

We definitely need a pacey wide player.

17 Nov 2025 23:35:50
I see a few Sadio Mane comparisons with Semenyo, in that he’s quick, direct, works his socks off, is hard to dispossess and he scores goals. I think he’s exactly what we need. Fingers crossed.

18 Nov 2025 00:03:18
Thanks, Carra.

18 Nov 2025 02:29:22
Wonder if we'll accept an offer for mo in Jan.

18 Nov 2025 05:09:21
I think Mo will be moved on In summer and not in Jan irrespective if we get Semenyo.
Unfortunately the journey with Mo has to come to an end. and he will leave a LFC legend.

18 Nov 2025 10:36:14
Embarrassing for the fan who got kicked out for abusing him if he does sign.

18 Nov 2025 10:53:37
Another benefit in signing him is we would not need to play against him. I hate watching him play against us and would welcome seeing his talents in our side instead.

18 Nov 2025 11:26:32
Thanks for the info Carra. Should be an exciting addition.

18 Nov 2025 11:23:50
Semenyo is a great player. I really wanted Mbuemo, but Semenyo is a close 2nd in my opinion as the best wide forward in the league this season. I think he can kick on in a similar way to the likes of Mane and Raphinha did when they got their moves to a more dominant team.

Thanks for the info Carra, hopefully Hughes' strong relationship with Bournemouth can help seal the deal. Ghana did not qualify for this season's AFCON either, so he could come straight into the side on the RW if we can get the deal set up for January 1st.

18 Nov 2025 11:57:55
Makes perfect sense to have a classic winger in the team if we have a classic CF in the team! Fingers crossed as Slot doesn’t seem trust his plan B options out wide yet.

18 Nov 2025 12:16:14
Semenyo is incredibly two footed and would give us options on both the left and right wings.

18 Nov 2025 13:07:53
Fantastic player, but what exactly would this solve when our tactics are not suited to fast, direct attacks? It hasn't worked for Frimpong, Kerkez or Wirtz this far, so why do we think Semenyo would fair any better? I don't want to be the overly negative person on the forums and obviously I would love to see a Salah successor being brought in, but unless the style is changed to suit the players we have adding one more player, regardless of how good he is, won't change anything.

Sorry!

18 Nov 2025 14:44:24
Thanks for the info, Carra. Always appreciated.

18 Nov 2025 15:24:28
@westwood perhaps we are looking ahead to Iriola ball if slot doesn’t work out.

18 Nov 2025 17:49:31
Maybe Let's, maybe. I just don't know what to think at the moment.

20 Nov 2025 15:24:15
How do we fit so many players to the team, especially when Salah always play, Slot clearly favour Gakpo, and we have spent like crazy for both Hugo and Ekitike.
And how is Rio supposed to progress?

I am not saying not to buy.
It would be good to understand the plan.
