As mentioned previously, my friend who works alongside the ground staff has once again stated that there is a lot of chat amongst staff about Trent returning, and it's causing a bit of a buzz there.


Fully expecting this to be turfed into the banter bin like when I first shared it a few days ago, but it's a shame when it comes from someone actually affiliated to the club.

Didn't even make the banter page pinky. You're in the discussion page. In other words the gutter.

In here with the dreggs with the likes of Kha, big hairy ape, Andy, etc. etc.

None of the A listers like Salah, Aoe, Carra Mk Scouser hang out here.

You must be very disappointed. ?

Ps. I love you all.

Where am I? What year is it?

I'm never drinking with Russians again.

Get out of here MK. A celebrity like you will get robbed down here.

Thanks for the heads up, Davey, my taxi is on its way. I don't want to get caught here in the underbelly of Gotham City. Is Djimi T the new head of the Maroni family?

@Robbo @VG @Thefields

Can anyone explain why we are not moving for Lamine Camara? It's actually depressing!

28 Aug 2026 21:28:17
Wharton was the far better option.

29 Aug 2026 00:27:37
I believe we are... there will be another 3 additions, and I think he could be a late deal.

{Ed666's Note - Hope or conviction mate?

Elliot going on loan to Valencia for a year, so he'll leave on a free as he has one year left.

Has anyone ever known of a club letting a player leave on loan knowing they'll leave on a free? Why not sell him off at leaat.

28 Aug 2026 19:12:29
We've done the same with Ramsay.

28 Aug 2026 17:35:55
Ibrahim Mbaye going to Villa.

Our midfield has been exposed since last season, which makes the problem at our full back more pronounced. Or is it the other way round?

Or our lack of pace and penetration on the flanks exposed our midfield more than before?

Or the pass out from defence is now so much slower, especially without Trent's long pass, that the midfield has to do a lot more carry, and were much higher up the pitch when facing counters?

Mind you, our midfield is the only unchanged since winning the title apart from Wirtz.


So, would changing the midfield, or buying midfield solve the problem?

I'd pour yourself a drink, enjoy the bank holiday, and let Iraola worry about it.

28 Aug 2026 15:59:55
We'll be grand. Slot is gone. ?

28 Aug 2026 16:05:43
We'll be better because Slop has gone.

28 Aug 2026 17:00:16
If you think the problem in the midfield is the fullbacks, you're not even watching the games, they're just on in the background.

28 Aug 2026 15:35:26
I can't believe we let Jones go with no replacement, especially homegrown
Wharton was there for the taking.

28 Aug 2026 15:46:31
Nyoni will be Jones' replacement.

28 Aug 2026 16:00:56
And there is why we will be doing well to get fourth, Shipley.

28 Aug 2026 16:19:42
Nyoni just turned 19. Will improve even more when he gets a bit more "Beef" on him and more experience, also is a great teacher. He should of gone out on loan last year as Slot hardly called on him all season.

Hence his PL history is 6 total apps in 2025/26, all as a Substitute.

Going out on loan and gaining much needed experience was a better option. His last season was wasted. Andoni is no mug, he saw Nyoni has a future at LFC, while Slot deservedly does not!

28 Aug 2026 17:03:13
Nyoni looked excellent in pre-season; he was the standout player every time he was on the pitch, calm, cool, collected, and constantly looking to progress the ball. He was playing well beyond his years and is capable of doing far more than filling Jones' shoes.

28 Aug 2026 18:29:10
We don't know that at all yet Chewy. He did well in pre season, that's it. I say that as someone who really rates Nyoni since he came in at 16. But pre season is only that, pre season. Trey should be getting minutes, but for me they should be Endo's minutes, who should be let go.

Jones should have been replaced in the transfer market. As it stands, our midfield as far as personnel go is weaker than last season when we finished 5th.

28 Aug 2026 15:20:27
When do we think BB will be flying over? Do we think he maybe at the game tomorrow lunchtime??

28 Aug 2026 13:53:46
Has anyone any update on whether we are still trying to recruit Mbaye from PSG? If we can get it over the line quickly, we would only need one private jet to bring him and Barcola over for their medicals, hence saving some cash.

28 Aug 2026 13:18:27
What is everyone's prediction for the end of the window?

I predict lots of noise. There'll be sometimes we think we might get 3/4.

But ultimately, Gakpo goes, Barcola and one of Minteh/Sarr/Mbaye/Pardo comes in.

Elliott goes on loan.

Chiesa (the worth a shot because he would be guaranteed profit) hangs around another season as no takers.

That's no inside info whatsoever. Pure gut feeling. What are the other gut feelings out there on how this window ends for us?

28 Aug 2026 19:22:01
Right, the Elliott loan is coming to fruition. Prediction is still on track.
