Osimhen has an offer to stay in Turkey on the table from Galatasaray. He is adored there and treated like a local hero.

Reynard

1.) 06 Jun 2025 15:40:37
Lets hope he signs it.


2.) 06 Jun 2025 15:59:54
Can anyone give us a haphazard review on the lad and why so many are against his signing?


3.) 06 Jun 2025 16:11:46
I doubt many truly know why they say what they say. Viktor has been wrong about various players, as we all have.
He is seen as somewhat mercenary by some, and by others as a big time charlie.

All I know is that he scores goals wherever he goes and is rapid.


4.) 06 Jun 2025 16:18:16
Big Lad, scores goals

Cheers.


5.) 06 Jun 2025 16:23:12
Bad first touch, bull in a china shop, money over loyalty, good in a farmers league. Anything else i've missed?


6.) 06 Jun 2025 17:55:17
The arrogance of people in here calling 'farmers league' to any other championship not named Premier is astonishing.

Woul be fun to know how many Premier based strikers can replicate Osimhen numbers in Turkey or the Serie A fir that matter.


7.) 06 Jun 2025 18:06:28
By the same logic you could also say gyokeres and Ekitike play in poor leagues too.
He was playing great for napoli in Italy, which is considered a more defensive minded league.
So arguably less chances for agressive fast breaks to get scoring opportunities and he was scoring fine.
The issue that lead to him leaving napoli was club approved social media content being racist towards him and disrespectful.
Wages is something we can't be sure of, for all we know he might take a drop in salary to play for us, if he desires the move and the league enough.
If slot feels his head is in the right space and he wants to win things he could be a great player.


8.) 06 Jun 2025 18:08:50
28
256 days injury in four years
£355k a week
Extremely hard to work with
£75m.


9.) 06 Jun 2025 18:15:04
If we can get him to find his 2022/ 2023 napoli form, 38 matches, 31 goals, 5 assists.

I would be very happy to have him on board, much rather go for experience over potential.

We need players that improve our starting 11 right now, not in a couple of seasons time.


10.) 06 Jun 2025 18:31:26
The Turkish league is a farmers league. No arrogance there. If the likes of Enner Valencia and Fabio Borini can bag around 20 goals a season then you know it’s a farmers league.

As for Osimhen, doesn’t pass the dickhead test, imagine being prepared to chuck your career away for money (which really isn’t going to make much difference when you’re already extremely wealthy) over sporting reasons. He gets £200k+ and isn’t taxed in Turkey apparently, which is why he’s set his stall out at that amount a week after tax. Unless Hughes and Edwards are able to arrange a Jimmy Carr style tax arrangement for him I can’t see it happening. Notwithstanding the fact he’s every bit as awkward on the ball as Nunez and just as panicky in one on ones. Feels like one of those transfers that would go horribly wrong,


11.) 06 Jun 2025 18:42:42
He earns €288k per week. He score goals and give opponent defense hard days at work. Low blocks have been LFCs anti dotes in recent years. This is a guy that can score given small spaces. His name is Victor Osimhen.


12.) 06 Jun 2025 18:56:35
The stats don't align with what your saying about him being bad on the ball tho Victor, maybe he isn't a ball carrier per say.
but he can find the net clearly better than nunez.
Nunez best ever shot conversation rate for us in the league has been 12% under klopp.
Osimhen at napoli conversion rate was 25%
That's 8 shots vs 4 shots to score a goal.
Both players with a very respectable 52% of shots on target.
Difference being osimhen is twice as likely to score that chance than nunez is, when they were in there best form.


13.) 06 Jun 2025 19:04:33
Cameron (Scottish Connection perhaps?

The SPFL= The Scottish Premier Football League is of a higher standard than Turkey, all the players are Christmas "Turkeys"


14.) 07 Jun 2025 04:07:32
Nuñez and Jota would score less than Osimhen in Turkey and Italy. If he's who we end up with, I think it would be an upgrade on who we got.

I personally wouldn't mind us going for a more experienced player (Lautaro, Osimhen etc) for the striker role.

If going younger I like Retegui but I think I read he wants to stay in Italy.


 

 

30 May 2025 10:23:48
Well I got it wrong when I said there'd be no announcements until next week. Frimpong to be announced very soon. Fully signed for €35m.

Reynard

 

 

25 May 2025 08:56:41
From a journalist friend (not Fabrizio), Florian Wirtz has fully committed to his move to us. The only things being sorted out now are the add-ons and details of how to achieve those. The payment structure has been agreed with Leverkusen. We are in the final stages of signing him.

Similarly, Kerkez is close to full agreement. I'm surprised there has been no movement on Hato. I expect we will focus on some players leaving the club now.

Reynard

1.) 25 May 2025 09:35:02
I'm holding off on praising Hughes and giving an apology for early cynisim that he didn't seem at the level.

But it's coming if he gets those three deals over the line.

Kerkez/ Frimpong not my first choices but I do think they'll be fine Liverpool players. They both bring massive pace and energy which is great and both have the talent to reach amazing levels if some things are ironed out in their game. I think Slot is good at ironing.

Wirtz is just an out of this world signing.

But the key is all three signings were highly sought after players and Hughes.

What am I doing.

Too early.

He needs to get them over the line first.


2.) 25 May 2025 09:42:28
Thanks for sharing! Any word on whether it’s a player + cash deal or full cash?


3.) 25 May 2025 09:55:12
Agreed Davey,

Once any signings are official, they have the shirt on and pulling the lean. I think most of us on here might have a little egg on our faces and owe some at the club an apology ?

Maybe there was method in the madness to hold off, secure the league and show some serious talent what the project looks like. We won the league at the beginning of the journey, now imagine what we may be able to do once Arne has his own players which the stats men say fit his tactical mold.

As a lad in my mind 30s now, is someone would have told me this is how we would have ended up looking I would never have believed you.

It is exciting times indeed!


4.) 25 May 2025 10:18:00
100% Davey, hopefully, he can get these deals over the line and we can all enjoy a nice big slice of humble pie!


5.) 25 May 2025 10:32:21
Well@ David sills if slot is good at ironing then he should go and become a drycleaner instead of a coaching.


6.) 25 May 2025 11:20:15
Think it was a difficult window but seems to have learned from his mistakes, it seems there’s been a lot of work going on behind the scenes and nothing leaked.


7.) 25 May 2025 11:30:06
Something doesn't seem right about Writz house hunting in liverpool

dont liverpool have homes available for players to loan while they purchase a home. Surely the stress of buying a home should not be forced onto them while they are trying to settle into a new club signing a deal and awaiting for clubs to workout a pay structure.


8.) 25 May 2025 11:42:23
@Rax it could just be something that Wirtz wishes to get himself into his own place straight away, rather than moving temporary place, then moving to his own place.


9.) 25 May 2025 11:45:01
@fatwallet - what were his mistakes again?


10.) 25 May 2025 11:45:41
Why isn't it right, Rax?

Some players/ families might want to look for their own. Wortz seems very close to his family so I'm guessing they're all moving together and they may want to find their own place.


11.) 25 May 2025 12:10:47
Until I see him in a Reds shirt at Melwood I’m still dubious - remember Zubimemdi was apparently “nailed on”! Now that Alonso has signed a 3 year contract at those scavenger ****ers at Madrid they’ll no doubt be sniffing! ??.


12.) 25 May 2025 13:33:39
Lots of apologies on the way for Richard the legend.


13.) 25 May 2025 13:42:09
Stress of buying a home with 200k+ a week? Doubt hell end up on the streets lol.


14.) 25 May 2025 15:56:04
Kerkez, Frimpong, Wirtz all done.

Nunez off to Atleti. Tsimi off to Leeds. Kelleher off to Villa.

Now - what’s for fking breakfast?


15.) 25 May 2025 16:48:36
Klopps house is empty and up for sale how about using that?


16.) 25 May 2025 18:23:13
Wdw enough people slagged him off for no transfers last summer.


17.) 25 May 2025 20:18:37
@ Fat, but there were transfers. - even though Slot specifically said more than nice that he wanted time to assess the squad we had at the time. We wanted to sign Zubimendi who first said ‘yes’ and then changed his mind. Just because a lot of people said that Hughes was poor doesn’t actually make it true.


18.) 26 May 2025 00:00:13
stupid that people were making claims hughes is on holiday in the first place.


19.) 26 May 2025 09:37:39
Wdw I didn’t state it was true but there were a lot of posters saying he wasn’t up to the job.


 

 

21 May 2025 06:13:58
I don't know if it'll come to anything, but we have definitely made inquiries about the very young Gioacchino Barranco.

Reynard

1.) 21 May 2025 07:52:18
Young LB. Interest in multiple young LB options (Kerkez, Hato, Barranco etc) would indicate the club don't see a future for Owen Beck. Shame if that is the case as he had a good loan spell at Blackburn. Got to be ruthless though, as we failed to push on last time we won the title and that can't be allowed to happen again. Klopp's only real weakness as a manager was his excessive loyalty to his players. Although that was also one of his greatest strengths in his defence as he got players like Milner, Robertson, Henderson, Origi etc to play several levels above what they were capable of because they'd have ran through brick walls for him.


2.) 21 May 2025 09:00:14
Spot on MK, sparkly reversing klopp and his loyalty.


3.) 21 May 2025 10:13:06
Does that necessarily mean that Beck is out MK? What if he replaces Robertson after next season? Not saying you’re wrong, but we need 2 LB’s surely? Going forwards, couldn’t Beck be one of them?


4.) 21 May 2025 11:07:58
Thing is FootyFan, is Beck is 22 now. He’s at an age where he needs to be playing. If we sign a LB and a CB who can play there, I think it makes it very hard for him. But albeit not impossible.


5.) 21 May 2025 12:44:15
Fair enough MK.


6.) 21 May 2025 12:55:59
I don't think Henderson, Milner and especially Robbo deserve to be put in the same bracket as Origi, as much as I loved him. Milner has already had an excellent career before he got to us; Henderson is highly rated by his peers and Robbo has been one of the greatest LB's in the world, ad one of our greatest ever. Beck isn't good enough, it's important to know that. If Beck came in for Robbo the drop off would be stark.


7.) 21 May 2025 13:22:48
I'm not putting them in the same bracket as Origi, I was pointing out that Klopp got more out of all of them than any manager did before or after him. There are a lot of examples of it throughout Klopp's illustrious career. He could get the absolute maximum out of a player because in many cases they were so loyal to him because he put full faith in them through thick and thin. That's the only thing they have in common though. Robertson and Henderson were both better than Milner, and Milner was better than Origi. The comparison was in the maximisation of their output, not their ability levels.


8.) 21 May 2025 13:51:10
Milner had an excellent career. He was a title winner at City and exceptionally well regarded at every club he played for. Your assessment of him is nonsense.


9.) 21 May 2025 16:22:04
I stand by it Why0why, I still think Klopp got the best out of him. He was good at Leeds, Villa and Newcastle. Then went on to be a solid player at City but they let him go for free. Their loss though because he was exceptional for Liverpool despite being at the wrong end of his career for a lot of his time with us. I believe he still holds the record for the most assists in a single CL campaign and he did that in a Liverpool shirt. He was a very good player hence why we singed him in the first place, but Klopp took him to another level in my opinion. You're entitled to your own views though.


10.) 21 May 2025 18:46:37
Juliane can come play for Liverpool ladies.


 

 

20 May 2025 12:10:02
Frimpong to be announced soon - passed 1st part of medical on Sunday, 2nd part yesterday. just final submission of papers and formal signing before announcement.

Reynard

1.) 20 May 2025 12:40:34
Is this possible? Window isn't open to sign until 1st June. Appreciate medicals etc can maybe take place before. But signing and submitting official paperwork?

I don't know enough about the admin and rules so maybe this is correct and if so, other then announcing officially, is there a point to window dates?


2.) 20 May 2025 13:34:18
As Ed002 used to tell us, deals can be announced at any time, but they cannot be made official until the window opens.

So Frimpong technically won't be a Liverpool player until June 1 but we can announce the deal once the player and their current club have agreed and signed the paperwork.


3.) 20 May 2025 13:40:21
Kloppiche yes because he's not a registered Liverpool player until the window opens. Leverkusen are still his official employer until then, they pay his wages and he can't play for us.


4.) 20 May 2025 14:01:30
You can sign players at any time, as Zeddicus said, but they cannot officially make a move to your team until the window officially opens. It's like buying a new car now but the delivery will be in a couple of weeks.


5.) 20 May 2025 18:55:41
It’s their registration documents. A player can only be registered during the window. So you can complete the transfer any time but the player can’t be registered to your team outside of a transfer window.

Good luck to the released players in their future. Dominic Corness, Louis Enahoro-Marcus, Harry Evers, Lee Jonas, Jakub Ojrzynski, Jacob Poytress and Reece Trueman. I hope they receive good advice moving forward, as it is very hard being a youngster hoping to make it in football when you are suddenly released.

With Heitinga confirmed as the new Ajax coach, who do we think should step into his role:
1] Marino Pusic
2] Dirk Kuyt
3] Thiago Alcantara
4] Someone else - Who?

I'm going to go for Viktor. We need a dose of total nihilism to keep us in check.

I’ll go for Fride - he has such respect for FSG things would run like clockwork.

I don't think it matters a great deal but I'd like to see Kuyt back.
