Nunez not part of our plans, according to reports. Forest and Atletico Madrid, linked.
1.) 28 Apr 2025 22:42:59
Love the lad for his effort. He’d be perfect at Atletico. I’ll be sorry to see him leave if that’s the way it is.
2.) 28 Apr 2025 23:10:40
The reports are saying about 35m hard to imagine when we apparently turned down double that from clubs in Saudi in January. I reckon we’re holding out for them to come back in.
3.) 29 Apr 2025 02:31:56
The club won’t sell Nunez for £35m no way! We will get somewhere around the £50m with add ons based on performance.
He was poor from the start for me, very erratic and I am glad to see him go. I would be happy to see Jota go too but only because he is so injury prone.
Two forwards, LB, CB and AM is the requirement.
4.) 29 Apr 2025 03:22:27
Swap for Alvarez.
5.) 29 Apr 2025 07:58:27
Swap for Alvarez is a good idea! Maybe we can swap Chiesa for Vinicius Jr too?
6.) 29 Apr 2025 08:24:49
i think the lad will be fantastic at a club who play counter attack like forrest and without the weight of expectation. good luck to him.
7.) 29 Apr 2025 09:39:47
It hasn't worked for him here which is a huge shame. I love the guy and I really wish it would have worked out. If he does leave in the summer I wouldn't want to see him join another PL club because if it does ever click for him in the PL and he gets his confidence up he could be phenomenal. Athletico or Saudi would be the best all round.
8.) 29 Apr 2025 09:46:51
New club, new confidence, I really feel for the lad awful to see someone’s confidence sucked out of them like that, hope he does well at his new club.
9.) 29 Apr 2025 09:56:09
Nunez is a peculiar one for me. He has what it takes to be a successful striker in the Prem League. He's tall, He's got good physical strength, he has the passion and aggression (although not always a good thing), he's got speed but he just couldn't find the back of the net as much we'd like. Remember, he was once compared to Haaland but it was never really a competition, was it? Haaland won hands down.
I liked him when he was at Benfica. I think that's why Klopp wanted him instead of Isak. But sadly, things just didn't work out. I'm hoping we get good money for him and we'll reinvest in a better striker. But I suppose he can leave with his head held high, and with a few titles under his name.
10.) 29 Apr 2025 10:56:24
Whilst the numbers are basically the press making them up, let’s play along …. If anybody offers us £ 35m then it is very likely the club will turn the offer down (I’d have their hand off for the offer but that’s because I just don’t rate him) . Point is we always beat ourselves up when we are told we are low balling but oddly when someone makes us a low offer people tend to think we’ll accept the offer. Odd.
11.) 30 Apr 2025 18:06:04
It’s strange, I too like Nunez and chant his name when he comes on but let’s be honest he’s been shocking since arrival. He was a beast against us in the champs league but unfortunately not been able to reciprocate that form for us. So why is he so loved, is it that we can see him trying so hard? Or that it’s us vs the world and he’s one of us? WDW agree on the low ball-ing and I hope a decent offer comes in and he finds his form elsewhere except if he’s playing against us!
23 Jan 2025 16:00:56
News that we're in no mood to listen to offers for Nunez, and he's an important member of our squad. We must all come to terms with this and move on.
1.) 23 Jan 2025 16:29:41
Nothing to come to terms with and he is an important squad member. Delivered when came on the other day for important three points and if we get he’s good to rotate so we don’t get injuries or good back up if we do get them.
2.) 23 Jan 2025 16:39:39
Great news that.
3.) 23 Jan 2025 17:18:02
Everybody has a price @Rome - it’s a business. If we aren’t bringing a CF in over this window it makes sense to keep him (at least until summer) as our other CF will be out for weeks again with a chipped finger nail or whatever it is.
4.) 23 Jan 2025 17:18:24
Hopefully this is true.
5.) 23 Jan 2025 17:43:13
A few people will know I said it tongue in cheek. I'm not a big fan of his, but if he keeps doing what he did last Saturday I'll continue to sing his name.
6.) 23 Jan 2025 18:27:23
Jota needs to go before Darwin . He misses too many games .
7.) 23 Jan 2025 18:35:31
Great news ?.
8.) 23 Jan 2025 19:12:29
Is it just click bait that Newcastle are looking at Gyokeres in case Isak is sold to “Liverpool” then? Or would it be a case Jota is sold with Isak coming in and Nunez a squad player?
9.) 23 Jan 2025 20:23:04
I just hope Nunez starts next few games he needs a run of games.
10.) 23 Jan 2025 20:42:58
Both need to go in the summer in fairness Dhfc.
11.) 23 Jan 2025 23:47:17
Nice. Depth, Stability and chemistry will be our biggest asset for the remainder of the title race.
12.) 23 Jan 2025 23:49:09
We'll sell him in the summer. He may come in useful before then.
13.) 24 Jan 2025 00:04:13
Will Nunez become our new Origi?
14.) 24 Jan 2025 00:15:09
Check his off the ball stats this season, they are off the scale good.
15.) 24 Jan 2025 00:25:11
Not that I'm wishing for anybody to be sold, but at this rate our only hope is the FA increase squad size to 30 players from 25. This way we can have the incomings everyone wants, and not have to sell anybody.
16.) 24 Jan 2025 01:26:30
Nor should we be selling anyone in Jan without replacements lined up. Pretty common sense approach given all the comps we are still in.
17.) 24 Jan 2025 02:32:24
100% FM
Nunez is too erratic and despite flashes of brilliance he is not an all round premier league player.
Jota is excellent and lethal on his day but his injuries are so regular, he has to go.
Isak is an amazing striker, but be careful what you wish for, he too has a tendency for niggling injuries over recent seasons.
Personally like the idea of Osmihen and Pedro to replace those two but I would dearly like to see a DM, LB first and a CB too.
18.) 24 Jan 2025 06:16:25
No need for that smutty talk vango!
19.) 24 Jan 2025 10:42:52
An £85m Origi?.
20.) 24 Jan 2025 14:11:09
LFC will not turn down 70m for a squad player. Love Darwin, but someone offers that, he's gone.
21.) 25 Jan 2025 01:30:49
@Vango, the idea that we gave the best player in the world when he doesn’t actually touch the ball made me ‘laugh a lot’.
Just imagine if we signed the next best 9 outfielders who didn’t touch the ball, we’d be brilliant.
22.) 25 Jan 2025 05:04:39
He’s more of an Erik Meijer than Big Divock Origi.
An £85m mad Erik.
We should always listen to offers, every player has a price.

#have not #gave, damn auto text .
24.) 25 Jan 2025 17:19:53
No, Ed001, the original story is Fichjales's story from early December. based on that Alexis was asked by AS in an interview whether he would move to Spain. and he answered "one day. Why not? but right now I'm very comfortable at Liverpool and I don't think about what might happen in the future. "
{Ed001's Note - so the fact he wanted a similar release clause to the one in his Brighton contract is now irrelevant? Why do you think Ed2 mentioned he wanted to go to Madrid? You clearly think you know better though, even though you had been told on here long before December.}
25.) 25 Jan 2025 17:49:15
The notion that he has a release clause of £60m was reported by DSport in Argentina but then refuted fairly quickly by International Sports Writer Peter Staunton. The original comment on the so-called release clause came before the summer window last year and was reported as false in numerous publications including Goal, The Athletic and 90 Minutes. I guess the summer window will show us.
{Ed001's Note - nobody said he has one. You are too busy trying to be right to even bother understanding what I said. He wanted a release clause is not the same as he got a release clause is it?}
21 Jan 2025 16:35:50
Various outlets saying we're looking to sign Hadj-moussa from Feyenoord. Right sided forward. I hadn't heard of him till 10 mins ago, but I'm no expert on Dutch football. Most of us hadn't heard of Slot 12 months ago.
1.) 21 Jan 2025 18:11:45
Well that means Salah is gone.
2.) 21 Jan 2025 18:22:11
I'm sure Richard Hughes is monitoring the situation like there's no tomorrow.
3.) 21 Jan 2025 18:33:23
Yeah 6 goals and 2 assists in 22 games sounds like a Salah replacement for sure.
4.) 21 Jan 2025 19:02:37
Isnt he like 22, could maybe be an understudy to Salah if there's even an ounce of truth to it.
5.) 21 Jan 2025 19:02:52
Underwhelming if true (and that’s the caveat) . Don’t @ me with “but Salah” or “but Mane”, both of them were playing at a high level when we signed them. This feels more like Luis Alberto or Ossama Assaidi.
6.) 21 Jan 2025 19:34:16
Could get mixed up with nunez if he signs he spit of nunez.
7.) 21 Jan 2025 20:07:15
@KurtStiener69, when salah join us, he is 15 goals in 40 games. We always uncover the gems.
8.) 21 Jan 2025 22:30:37
He shares a birthday with me - he’s going to be stellar!
9.) 21 Jan 2025 23:09:29
The season before Salah joined us he scored 19 in 41.
That virtually a 1 in 2 scoring rate……. from a wide attacker.
10.) 21 Jan 2025 23:50:08
@Vic - irrespective of us signing him or not, have you ever seen the lad play? First time he’s been mentioned on here and the knives are straight out rounded out nicely by you pigeon holing him with a couple of players that you don’t rate (I know it was a shock to me) .
Nice to take time off from being happy that we won another CL match and are through to 5he last 16 to be dismissive of yo7ng players at other clubs. Love your work.
11.) 22 Jan 2025 07:36:42
WDW if FSG attacked Palestine you’d still find a way to defend them.
12.) 22 Jan 2025 08:24:37
I don't see one mention of FSG in WDW's post.
It just goes to show how bent out of shape some people are, they'll make things up just to slag some aspect of the club off.
Supposedly grown men too.
Comical.
13.) 22 Jan 2025 10:42:41
He looks handy. Skilful dribbler but has some work to do on his end product. Reminds me a bit of Doak. Definitely not a Mo replacement but a potentially good investment to develop or failing that, sell on at a decent profit in 2/ 3 years.
There is the possibility that he would replace Doak if he is moved on for profit in the summer but personally I'd rather just keep Doak.
14.) 22 Jan 2025 10:49:09
More than comical. Moronic. What has Palestine got to do with football or FSG, for that matter? Humour? Distasteful feeble attempt at best.
15.) 22 Jan 2025 10:55:16
Time to give the old noggin a bit of a wobble @Frode.
16.) 22 Jan 2025 16:11:08
I am all for unearthing gems and all that, But Salah was playing in a really Strong league, no disrespect but the Dutch league is league 1 level if that. You have 3 good teams and the rest are basically feeder clubs to those 3. Of course you can find Luis Suarez players there once in a while but again his numbers were ridiculous for Ajax so there's a huge difference.
17.) 23 Jan 2025 10:42:58

17 Jul 2023 13:04:36
Cheick Doucoure the latest midfielder we're linked with. The list goes on.
{Ed002's Note - That would be a surprise.
Cheick Doucoure (CB) Has major language issues that need resolving in the coming months. Crystal Palace have told Monaco, who want him to replace Fofana, that he is not for sale.}
1.) 17 Jul 2023 14:02:26
there's a few people on here with 'language issues' as well. Isn't that right Ed. Glad to see its all calming down again and we can all just get along.
2.) 18 Jul 2023 21:00:46
Cheick Doucourés English language problems are well behind him. Roy Hosgeson said as much in an interview (Google it) and I’ve seen him conduct a perfectly coherent interview in English following a game towards the back end of last season.

This site is a microcosm of Anfield, yesterday! Some would like to see Trent hung from the rafters of The Kop (I'm exaggerating), some wish him well and some, like me, are indifferent. Personally, I have never, nor would I ever, boo one of our own while they wear the shirt, however, I respect the view of those that do. Unfortunately, yesterday it destroyed the atmosphere, because we needed the full support of the crowd to lift a tepid 2nd half performance.
I think moving forward to the next 2 games it's in everyone's best interest that Trent doesn't feature. What I would hate to see happen, is what should be an end of season party and celebration at the end of the Palace game, being marred by supporters focusing on one solitary player instead of cherishing something we've waited 35 years to cherish. Who knows how long we might have to wait for the next time.
{Ed025's Note - spot on for me Rome..
1.) 12 May 2025 10:12:36
Couldn't have been said any better Rome mate doesn't matter who it is they should never be booed when they have that shirt on don't know if it's a immaturity thing or what but it has no place at our club or any club for that matter.
JFT97 YNWA.
2.) 12 May 2025 10:15:50
Spot on Rome. I think for all parties dropping him is the best option, saves becoming an unnecessary distraction. Whoever advised him to make the announcement with games to go has advised him badly, he had plausible deniability up until that point.
3.) 12 May 2025 11:09:29
There won't be a long wait we will win the league next season on the premise we buy a striker minimum.
4.) 12 May 2025 11:17:44
Great post Rome.
Hopefully streaming figures aren't down next week which could effect our transfer war chest in the summer.
5.) 12 May 2025 11:27:47
You could argue that he deserves more respect because of the boos. He obviously predicted it and waited until the League was won before announcing his decision, so not to ruin atmosphere in the ground while we had trophies to play for.
6.) 12 May 2025 11:57:29
The video from him should never of come before the end of the season, not sure what there was to achieve with it, this was bound to happen, some hate him now, some wish him luck, personally i think he has known for a while what he was doing and should of let the club know so to sell him, i hope we don't make the same mistake with Konate and offer him a deal, if he doesn't sign we should learn and sell him now, use the money FOR Huijsen.
7.) 12 May 2025 12:03:40
Whilst I’m not siding with the boo boys here I can fully understand why so many see it as a betrayal - TAA will cost a significant amount of money to replace like for like, maybe £50-£70m, and the supporters see him leaving for nothing with a big signing on fee as taking the urine. Money is everything in football these days and here we’re losing a world class (in our system) player for absolutely zilch which doesn’t help the club in any way.
As I recall McManaman was also on the receiving end of jeers when he did the same in 1999.
8.) 12 May 2025 12:12:51
Huijsen coming in for konate is not an upgrade, they don't have the same sort of skill set and won't perform the same kind of function. If we replace konate we'd need to find somebody with his monstrous physicality and mobility while being great in the air, which huijsen is decidedly not. Huijsen would be a replacement for Virgil, a ball playing progressive defender next to an ibou type defender who can cover the wide channels, win duels and mop up in behind.
9.) 12 May 2025 12:54:09
Huijsen is heading to Real Madrid. The kid wants to go there. we need to move on to other targets. I expect Konate to run his contract down.
10.) 12 May 2025 12:56:56
Completely and utterly agree with you Rome. I sit between the indifferent and sad to see him go camp, but I could never ever boo our own whilst wearing the shirt (if he comes back in seasons to come wearing white, fair game) .
We don't, and most likely will never, know the full story, but I do wish he had confirmed before the Jan window so we could have got some thing. But, maybe he did and, competing on 4 fronts, the club and Slot decided he was worth more in the team than the £20m+ in the bank, who knows?
Unfortunately, I can see Huijsen going somewhere else as I agree we need the physicality of Konate and I can't see Huijsen playing second fiddle. I think a flexible combination of defenders would probably be best. If Geertruida is available to move again, he could provide backup to Bradley and replace Konate, Frimpong could also provide backup to Bradley and Salah too, and Hato would be a good option at LB to rotate with Robbo as well as learn from VVD to ultimately replace him. I would probably bring in one more young CB too, not sure who (Huijsen would be ideal, but like I said he probably wants to start every week)
Sell Konate (on the basis that he does not sign an extension), Tsimikas and either Gomez or Quansah - I'd probably go for Quansah as I just don't think he will make it (quite) .
11.) 12 May 2025 13:30:20

12.) 12 May 2025 13:36:36
Only 2 players iv ever booed . n that's the 2 judas's named Trent n Macmanaman. people esp on here but not in Liverpool mainly think the same as me . most are gutted not that he's leaving but leaving on a bosman . sick of talking about him on here . but while his fan club keep supporting him il continue to call him out . iv never been a fan anyway of him. all this nonsense about him being a generational talent . he couldn't even get in the England set up n that's tells you everything. only our super fans think he's the best thing since sliced bread.
13.) 12 May 2025 14:25:18
Personally, Stromsgodset (I remember beating your username by 11 in 1974, though I wasn't there) I never considered Trent to be world class, but we will undoubtedly miss his assists and his passing ability. You can think he's "the best thing since sliced bread" and still boo him.
Like I've said, I will never boo one of our own, but I don't want to come across like I'm the new Pope, because I'm definitely not.
When it comes to the Palace game, if he is on the pitch, those that do take to booing, it will be like kicking off at a wedding, cus you don't like one of the ushers. In doing so you ruin the wedding for the bride and groom and the rest of the congregation. This is probably a poor analogy, but I'm sure folk know where I'm coming from.
14.) 12 May 2025 15:10:56
It doesn't matter if you don't rate Trent, klopp basically built the team around him, slot pretty much did close to the same but tried to tone it down a notch as far as our reliance on him, Madrid are buying him not as a right back really but to replace kroos and be their focal progressive passer because they know he is elite in this regard.
You can hate the lad for the rest of your life but saying he's not that good is really a bit silly if you ask me, he is a special football player, somebody who can make you gasp in awe in a split second and get your team from a tight spot in your own half into acres of space in the opposition half with his right peg.
15.) 12 May 2025 19:43:25
Rome 1977. Stromsgotset was my first evening game, my Dad used to take me to the Saturday games but I remember this game so well.5 nil at have time (i hope I'm right about that ) . been all over the country n abroad supporting them . just pisses me off that a player born in the same city as me could do the dirty on us . not by leaving but leaving on a free . people on here say he's give us 20 years . that makes me laugh . he's had 5 odd seasons playing with a very lucrative contract. we nurtured him . but he gets praised like he's something special
Patrick Burgher . you might thing he's an excellent player . I don't rate him as a defender bcoz he not very good at defending. I agree he's got a wand of a right foot . but he will definitely being player right back from Madrid he won't play in midfield. ot sure how you came to that.
24 Apr 2025 16:50:44
Just out of interest, who were posters having a pop at during the 18/ 19, 19/ 20 seasons? Genuine question. 1. I can't remember and 2. I was banned by Ed02 for a while so stopped coming on here.
1.) 24 Apr 2025 17:27:18
Probably wijnaldum and Hendo for only passing sideways and not scoring enough?
2.) 24 Apr 2025 17:27:46
My recollection is the following got it in the neck the most:
Wijnaldum. Deemed to play within himself most weeks. Tbf, I was subscriber to this one.
Gomez. Not considered good enough.
Firmino. Didn't score enough goals for some.
And Henderson. But that stopped nearly entirely after the second Barcelona game.
3.) 24 Apr 2025 17:33:01
Adrian, Matip, Lovren, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino and Sturridge took pelters on here around that time for being injury prone and/ or not good enough.
I don't think anybody minds other posters wanting to talk about who needs to be replaced and who we should sign to do it. This site is built on those discussions after all. Certainly for me it's more tiresome to read because of the way some people are saying it. So many just seen to be criticising the way the club is run or criticising the players who want to leave. It's feels like unwarranted negativity on the cusp of knocking Man United off our perch. We all have our own ideas where we can strengthen but the negativity is just confusing for the fans like myself who are high as a kite right now!
4.) 24 Apr 2025 17:35:48

9.) 24 Apr 2025 21:01:48
I was on salah's case for not passing and keeping on shooting at the keepers body rather than the corners of goal.

10 Apr 2025 10:29:36
It's my opinion that next season will be the last season that Mo and VVD will be regular starters, that could therefore mean that next season is their last. The issue with looking to find replacements this summer to enable them to "bed in" is that next summer is a World Cup. I find it hard to think that players will sign, knowing that they will only play a handful of games, waiting for Virg and Mo to step aside. I've said on here, many times, that it was my belief that those 2 would sign new deals. I've also always thought that next summer will be massive, when we will actually have to replace them. I may be completely wrong with this view, as I often am.

As far as I'm concerned, we should be stripped of the title and all players and management flogged in front of Liverpool Town Hall, broadcast live on Sky. The Monday of the parade should be set aside for this.

Am I missing something with all this "Liverpool hate". I'm not from Merseyside and folk where I live don't hate us. The media that I see and read are pretty fair. What does get on folks nerves when I talk to people, is that some Liverpool supporters think they're hated, which isn't the case. Well, no more than other clubs I won't care to mention.

Well said, Semi. I had a semi by the sea, once. Newquay 1980. Happy days.

You are a happy soul, Harry. Have you ever called yourself Victor Meldrew, amongst the plethora of names you keep giving yourself?
