Did we sign BarryinLouth yet and how much for?

25 Aug 2026 20:06:56
The deal is done 7 EUR + 3 EUR in add ons.

Ta.

{Ed001's Note - is that how much Bazza is paying for his ferry ticket?}

25 Aug 2026 20:20:11
I heard a rumour that in Louth he is known as "the Louth Lucas". Looks like we have got that no6 we need.

His agent demanded 2 packets of Tayto and a novena. Almost lost him the deal.

25 Aug 2026 21:04:55
His Ferry leaves tomorrow Ed001 and he'll be here in time to start at RB instead of Frimpong this weekend.

{Ed001's Note - we aren't that desperate!}

The 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase draw will be held from 18:00 CET on Thursday 27 August 2026.

The league phase begins on Tuesday 08 September 2026.



Is this why Barcola deal held up? Don't see anything relevant, perhaps other posters can?

Slot won the PL at his first attempt! My monies are on Andoni to eclipse that and win the UCL at his first attempt in Europe, on the lines of: anything Slot can do, I (Raola) can do better!

Having now watched the game twice I think we played a bit better than I initially thought, we were always looking to win the game from the off, the biggest concern was when the possession was turned over, going backwards at pace we were found to be seriously lacking.

Other takes were, Newcastle wanting Wissa to get a standing ovation, possibly cost them the win as our penalty was awarded after the proposed 5 added minutes.



Also we were the only 2 teams to play out a draw in the opening fixtures, and taking the first initials from the current top four the Premier League reads,…. BABE ?


YNWA.

Bajcetic to Vigo is almost complete.

Seems like a free with a sell-on.

What might have been. Barcelona made an approach for him two years ago; he was rated so highly.

Really wish this one worked out, but hopefully a return home will help him find his feet and push on.

Good luck Stefan and YNWA.

On the LFC channel training sessions he looked like he was racing again, if it's free (they must be paying his wages) then that looks like he's building himself up further, hopefully, with a return for next summer pre-season full assessment.

Makes sense, get ye playing time up without getting kicked up into the air all the time by the park the bus brigade every week.



I wonder whether Wrexham could have been considered, Andoni popping over to see him play now and again, and give him encouragement and updates on how he is playing.

Shame the lads got it all in bucket loads, but as they say, if there's hope there's always time.

It looks like we have seen the last of Bajcetic too. The club and him have come to an agreement to release him from his contract so that he can rejoin Celta Vigo. A real shame how his career turned out. Had he developed in the way we all hoped when he first broke through, right now he would be the ideal player for the double pivot.

But got some really bad injuries and maybe didn't have the best attitude at times. However, it's always sad to see once promising youth prospects leave. I do hope he is finally over the injury nightmare and can start playing again.

25 Aug 2026 13:15:41
I’m hoping that AI has seen what we have all seen! Frimpong isn’t good enough, Virgil is too old, and we lack quality out wide. 90+ for Cody is great business; however, the road ahead is a long one.
Wirtz is a tad lightweight, and Isak is still miles off the pace! Grab has at least 2/3 mistakes in him per game.

MaC is too slow! Boy oh boy, Andoni has a job on his hands.
Make Kayode the first defender we sign please and then fill the gaps from there!
Rio has to play on the left! Munoz possibly on the right!
If we do get Barcola then he will offer us something that we haven’t got! Serious pace.

Over and out.

25 Aug 2026 16:22:21
So, apart from the goalie, we need a new team.

{Ed025's Note - and the goalie was not great on Sunday either Jari..

25 Aug 2026 11:51:06
Is there some unprofessionalism or bordering sabotage happening behind the scenes? Edwards was shown the door essentially and Hughes has either been shown to be completely incompetent or is half arsed about fulfilling his role at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
The club needs a midfielder. The world sees that. They've allowed Jones to go, so where's the replacement?
Is Andoni too soft, hence the appointment over Alonso? Let's be real, he's a very good coach but he doesn't have the aura or charisma of Alonso.

It's giving me Ten Hag.
You can't allow sporting directors and Co this much authority and power if this is what they serve and dictate. Whoever the next sporting director is, there has to be a far better connection between the "coach" and what the team needs.

25 Aug 2026 13:30:57
Don't know myself, Ron. I guess it will play out, then we can make our judgements

One thing is for certain - the only thing guaranteed from a change in coach was that we'd be feeling better.

25 Aug 2026 14:25:04
The feel good factor isn't quite there yet, Faith, this window has deflated much of it, unfortunately.

I think we'll finish with a bit of a flourish, bring in Barcola and probably Trent as well, reading between the lines, which will perk up a lot of fans. Minteh will get done as well.

I don't think it's sabotage, but time after time, our judgement and decision making on transfers has been poor, but also very slow.



I don't think the transfer team are top notch, but they're playing with top money, so the stakes are huge. This is where sports franchising falls down. The lack of local and sport specific knowledge costs FSG, and their sporting appointments, Jurgen aside, have been disappointing. Hopefully Iraola bucks the trend.

25 Aug 2026 14:36:13
Calling the manager soft because we aren't signing the sort of player you want us to sign. Pathetic.

25 Aug 2026 16:27:12
AI is the coach, not the manager, and from what I'm seeing he is having an impact on our playing style and on recruitment. The two new signings look good to me. He can't be expected to turn Slot's picks into a team overnight. AI has never played with a 6 because he expects his midfield to cover all positions collectively.

My guess is we aren't even looking for a 6 and we have sufficient cover with the priority being wingers. We have recruited one and we need another one. Wingers who can play both sides within neither Gakpo or Rio can do.

25 Aug 2026 17:35:52
Trent?? No chance! Wouldn't want him back either. He s*** his pants, now he's gotta sit in them.

25 Aug 2026 09:31:35
Again, people need to be reminded on here that the guys that volunteer information don't do so to be liked, they do it because they know we like it and want it. Opinions differ, stories differ, sources differ. No one knows what’s happening 100% unless you are conducting the deals which no one on here is.

I think. So just take the information for what it is. Opinion.
Don't bet your house on it is all I’d say.
Enjoy the site. And remember, opinions are not facts. Thanks all the lads providing info it just makes this transfer lark much more fun.

25 Aug 2026 13:32:04
I think they like to be liked a little lol.
Well, appreciated anyways.
And that can look like just not being a d*ck when ITK info doesn't pan out exactly as it was shared.

25 Aug 2026 10:27:20
I don't understand how we haven't signed Adam Wharton. We've sold Jones and Wharton is another Homegrown excellent young player who would immediately improve us.

25 Aug 2026 10:35:56
Maybe he isn't for sale (at least at a price that is deemed acceptable).

25 Aug 2026 13:32:55
Where does he play?
He ain’t playing ahead of Dom or Wirtz. It’d be a very expensive third or fourth choice CM.

25 Aug 2026 18:29:10
I don't think Palace will sell him now at any price. Maybe in Jan or next summer. He would play as a double pivot with Grav, Szobo at 10, Wirtz at LW or false 9. That would be much more balanced.
