Seen a couple of reports today that we are interested in Barella from inter in the summer and also Marmoush from Frankfurt - is there anything in these or just two more added to a list of all the players signing for LFC?

Sofa_Fan

{Ed002's Note - Nicolo Barella (CM/DM) Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have had approaches turned away. Don't be surprised of a significant offer from Manchester City or PSG or a further approach from Real Madrid - but Inter don't wish to sell and would no doubt demand something towards €100M or so. Liverpool or Spurs may show an interest but Inter have not been approached by either although they have sent scouts. The player does not wish to leave and is expected to sign a new contract. Long term interest of Chelsea went with the player wanting to stay in Italy - although they could yet try to persuade him otherwise and have spoken with Ale Beltrami who acts as an intermediary offering up Lukaku as part of the deal last year to no avail. Beltrami has also spoken with Manchester City directly. Interest of Manchester United and Newcastle has gone.

Omar Marmoush (S/LW) Eintracht Frankfurt have no intention of selling the the right footed versatile forward although West Ham has a declared interest. His agent says there is still interest from Newcastle, Spurs and Brentford. Apparently, noted by Liverpool scouts when were watching another player late last season. Chelsea have sent scouts.}

Interesting question. Would have to say yes to that deal bc a. it would be good to get something (anything) for Trent and b. It would be a relief to have Salah’s replacement sorted.


2.) 16 Oct 2024 21:16:04
Lost me with the reference to Trent @Stone.


3.) 17 Oct 2024 00:01:13

That makes sense - thanks @stone.

In the nicest of ways, who are the ED’s or is this the mystery of the site? It amazes me how accurate they are, as I’m sat here with sky sports news on and refreshing this page, where do they get there information from, is it links? Contacts? Or are they in the business and go as ED’s to keep identity hidden ?

Really appreciate all their input, it must be so frustrating at times especially around this time of year ??.

Does that mean VVD is only going to get announced on the 4th May?

Sofa_Fan

1.) 11 Apr 2025 09:19:49
Then Trent on the 6th of June? Although that probably won't be a Liverpool announcement at this rate.

Any idea what the clubs opinion of Koumas is? Looks like he has scored some very nice goals - do they see him as a youngster who could make first team squad? He is a RW isn’t he?

Sofa_Fan

1.) 22 Mar 2025 21:02:53
despite scoring some goals he has been very average overall for Stoke. Can't see a place for him in the 1st team, not yet at least. He is a LW.


2.) 22 Mar 2025 21:40:10
Doak looks a better player and there’s even doubts about him. I reckon we try get 10m for Koumas.


3.) 22 Mar 2025 22:40:40
Cheers guys much appreciated ??.


4.) 23 Mar 2025 12:27:01
Yeah I think we'll get a decent fee from a Championship club for him this summer. A good player and should have a good career in Championship or at a lower ranked PL team.


5.) 23 Mar 2025 12:39:11
Koumas is not a leftwinger, not really a RW either. Was an attacking MF who was put upfront for the u18s and did terrificly well. Think he'll have another championship loan hopefully in his best position. Top young player.


6.) 23 Mar 2025 13:59:06
Good young player but not good enough to play for the first team. Sell.


 

 

04 Mar 2025 15:32:17
Think it’s disgusting that the FA release statements when a manager is at fault - Slot was angry and probably said that but in this case the referees should be mic’d and should be heard when on tv similar to the rugby union referees - Nigel Owens was amazing when he was a referee - straight away it would pick up everything the referees says and what the players say, then they can be held accountable - for Howard Webb to pick and choose the easy wrong decisions on whatever channel they do it on is completely bent! I’m not going down the corrupt route I honestly think that English referees are just that bad but selecting something to come out now weeks later is just not on!

Sofa_Fan

1.) 04 Mar 2025 16:58:29
Slot was clearly irate and got a red. That I don't really have an issue with as long as the standard is maintained.

However, from the BBC article it's said ' But the commission decided it was "more likely than not that Arne Slot used the language alleged by the referee and the FA".

That doesn't strike me as a fair process, you can't just side with the official. They have basically said, Oliver is a more reliable witness than Slot. I'd point out that he clearly can't see after missing a kick to the head so maybe he is deaf too!


2.) 04 Mar 2025 17:29:01
It's utterly ridiculous. The performance of Michael Oliver was the real crime, not Slot's sweary reaction.

Slot's pocket is £70k lighter and his words are written into public record now.

What of Michael Oliver's disgusting performance?


3.) 04 Mar 2025 18:29:25
Oliver will get his comeuppance. Every team in prem should vote him out tell pgmol they won’t have him in charge of there games. He and they are fooked then.


4.) 04 Mar 2025 18:48:29
Here’s the thing - surely PGMOL have the audio don’t they? So what’s the debate?

Also is anything Slot said really that bad?


5.) 04 Mar 2025 18:56:15
So, here is me being petty.

Slot calls (or they think he said it) the assistant a "fu@#en disgrace" and gets a red card and 2 game ban

Arteta, after the Newcastle game last season, repeatedly uses the word "disgrace" in his post match conferences, when referring to the officiatingnin the game, and gets absolutely no punishment

What exactly is the difference between the 2 situations.


6.) 04 Mar 2025 19:01:14
Maybe managers and players should stop abusing the ref? You don’t ever see that in Rugby Union either. That might be a good place to start.

Maybe people missed were Slot says he wishes he acted differently and hopes he does in the future. He also didn’t deny using industrial language although the context differs slightly.


7.) 04 Mar 2025 19:32:23
SImple case of "He said. She said". We have no way of verifying who said what cos as someone said, ref's aren't mic'd up so we can really know who really said what.


Michael Oliver is a crap ref. cos he has been crap all sason. The evidence is there and was there before and after the Everton game. Im over it.


8.) 04 Mar 2025 20:05:09
The Irish Rover - I agree completely but the whole background of Rugby union is respect the officials which isn’t there in football at all - if you put a mic on the ref and the whole thing is played you may eventually get players walking up to the referee saying yes sir no sir

My original post isn’t saying that managers and players are right to abuse referees - Slot lost it, he has come out and said that he shouldn’t do that in all honestly and was wrong - in an ideal world he take it on the chin, then the club report it to the FA and the whole game and decisions are investigate without “the ref said this so it’s the true” but we don’t live in an ideal world.

My point is how can they come out now saying this is what is reportedly said weeks ago by the Liverpool manager it just adds to the whole let’s put out our own agenda, there is more sport news about games Michael Oliver has officiated recently than actual sports news is that not sending a message to the FA that something needs looking into in the English premier league.

I think referees should be mic’d and recorded it then holds referees, players, managers and coaching staff accountable for what is said - again Slot lost it but for it to come out as breaking news that the FA has released what was said in Michael Oliver’s worlds a complete joke and just shows how poor the overall quality of officiating is in the English premier league.


9.) 04 Mar 2025 20:28:07
Some ex-ref, or other, by the name of Hackett (never heard of him before) has suggested that teams get point deductions in the future for such incidents.

Now this is where we are entering the circus of the ridiculous. Fraud in accounting for over a decade gets you whispered mutterings in legal proceedings and delays, but impulsive emotion after an important game gets points deductions immediately.


10.) 04 Mar 2025 20:29:54
if you're going to get a red then ya might as well get it off ya chest and make it worth it lol

although I do think Slot was factually incorrect to say that.

Clearly if we don't win the league it will be because of FSG :D

banter folks, banter :)


11.) 04 Mar 2025 20:48:03
@sofa fan. Totally agree mate, yes the culture in rugby is very different but maybe football needs to learn from other sports ro try and build that culture. Full transparency during decision making by hearing the refs conversations should go a long way to tackling the complaints of corruption.

I acctually find it extremely suspicious that the audio isn't available readily to everyone.


12.) 04 Mar 2025 21:00:14
There would be more required than just sticking a mic on a ref. The culture of football would need to change. The things that make football, the passion, the excitement etc also create to its downfall where you have fans flicking the V sign to opposing fans, throwing items onto the pitch, players diving and cheating at every given opportunity, the chants from certain fans, how every single mistake is microscopically dissected to see if someone has made a mistake and that’s before we talk about abuse by players and managers to the ref. Sure even on this forum there is absolutely no respect for refs whatsoever, they are all corrupt and sh#te according to most. I would say with that sort of pressure and background it’s no wonder they struggle to do their job.

{Ed025's Note - some great points there Irish..


13.) 04 Mar 2025 21:01:30
Slot could maybe just not swear at him and keep his head? The ref was absolute $hite as we know but Slot only has himself to blame for the ban there.


14.) 04 Mar 2025 21:21:43
Come on Faith, we all know that FSG aren't responsible for the day to day running of the club. If we fail to win the league, it'll be down to Hughes ;)


15.) 04 Mar 2025 21:36:52
I agree with you Irish with your post completely that passion brings all them negative responses from fans but how I have read that is you might as well ignore the small easy wins as it’s not going to have an impact on the massive negatives that some fans of football bring - no, putting a mic on the referee isn’t going to stop any of that but isn’t that such a small step of saying we as the FA are fully transparent while also protecting their referees?

Small steps have a possibility to have massive wins - referees get a hell of a lot of stick because they are paid to do a job, it’s fair fetched but it’s how I get a little frustrated when a taxi driver cuts me up as they are paid to do that job and when it’s done incorrectly it can frustrate but I don’t see what the FA are doing in protecting their own, releasing stories how they have today is going to frustrate fans and coming out weeks after saying oh yes that was a mistake isn’t ideal.

It’s not the answer to all as a Saints RL fan hearing Liam Moore justifying a Wigan “try” and then a Penrith “no try” in a world club challenge irritated me but I heard the justification there and then, not a statement weeks after.

But Hey ho, it’s just my opinion and it annoyed me a little how it came out today - I was always told your not moaning if you are making suggestions for improvement but ?.


16.) 04 Mar 2025 22:10:16
Should have just sworn at him in Dutch, they have some truly nasty swear words and statements.


17.) 04 Mar 2025 22:52:34
Honestly, he could have said worse.

I could have guess he said something along those lines without the FA releasing it anyway.


18.) 04 Mar 2025 23:20:30
Dracred - I forgot about Hughes which is easy to do when we never hear from him lol.


19.) 04 Mar 2025 23:28:26
He said exactly what everyone was thinking. I was listening to TalkSport in the car afterwards and even Stuart Pearce said Slot had a point.

Referees need to be held accountable for performances like the one Michael Oliver put in that day. You can’t be that bad and just expect everyone to shake your hand and say well played.

If a player or manager consistently cocks up as bad as that they get dropped or sacked! Unless they are at Utd of course, then they get a new contract and a pay rise and the dinner lady gets sacked instead ;)


20.) 04 Mar 2025 23:48:46
The scenario would be made considerably better by the refs admitting when they made mistakes, had a game game or lost control. The PGMOL seem to have ceased that first point and refs are hardly ever held accountable for their inadequacies unless it undeniable and in the public domain like with Coote and even then it was reluctant and the gay card got played.
Mistakes I can accept. Not admitting them openly and with transparency for how to improve I cannot. Respect goes both ways.


21.) 05 Mar 2025 00:39:09
would it better if refs admitted mistakes?

I think the culture of football is tribal and whether the refs admit to their mistakes or not won't make a difference imo.

I think there should be a divide between the refs and fans. But that football should be looking at increasing transparency via the use of mics at key times like when explaining calls.

It's unacceptable that fans in the stadium and even us watching on tv on the other side of the world, often have no idea why a decision was made.

{Ed001's Note - I think it would make a huge difference, because you can't learn from a mistake you have not accepted that you made.}


22.) 05 Mar 2025 01:20:06
To be honest - if he swore at the ref he got what he deserved. I agree with @TIR that players and staff should show respect for the officials. I also understand that people are human and our emotions can sometimes get the better of us. That’s what happened here. Slot was angry, showed a lack of respect and got his punishment. End of story really.


23.) 05 Mar 2025 06:38:13
Agree with Ed01 about not learning if you don’t accept your mistakes.

On a side note I think I might be sickening for something - that’s the third or fourth time I’ve agreed with posters in the last hour or so …. Something must be wrong with me ?.


24.) 05 Mar 2025 07:06:04
As a senior manager of an international corporate, I know from experience you can have a divide whilst maintaining respect. The quickest way to lose that respect though is to act as if you are infallible and cannot be wrong, especially when making obvious mistakes. It breeds the culture of the disrespect you see towards the officials. They don't act like humans so it is easy to dehumanise them. You won't get a rugby like culture until you start down that path. This is people management 101 and it amazes me that a organisation so exposed hasn't learnt this. Likely they are scared to start down that path given how hard those first few years would be given the culture they have played a part in fostering.


25.) 05 Mar 2025 12:31:47
Honestly I just laughed reading slot's comments. It made me love him even more as exactly what I would have screamed in his face at that moment (maybe with some choice additions).

But yeah officiating has been rubbish and needs something to happen. Personally I like the idea of the mic on ref. I also like the idea of changing the wording of clear and obvious error to 'Decision worth a second look' or something.

I think just having clear, obvious and error in your head as you go to a monitor and of course you are never going to stick with on field decision.

I think that would appease some fans then for example the Ashley young pen against united. I don't think anyone in the world is 100% that's always a pen or 100% that's never a pen. But when you give it and it's overruled as a clear and obvious error, you have almost set the rule invisibly now that this is never a pen.

Instead you go over for an important decision worthy of a second look and official in charge make mind up one way or the other (ideally with hearing conversation between VAR room and on pitch) then I think people will understand most decisions.

There will of course still just be horrible decisions but what annoys me personally is just the inconsistencies on clear and obvious which is a problem they have brought on themselves.

Just seen that Dacoure has been receiving racial abuse online, I put on last night that I think he was out of order doing what he did and mentioned that it didn’t make sense as an over seas player and not a local lad - in my eyes he was a bit of an idiot for doing it but he shouldn’t then get racially abused online for it - I’m a believer that passport numbers/ government identification should be inputted to sign up to any social media accounts so people can’t hide behind a keyboard! Idiot he may be but doesn’t deserve the abuse.

Sofa_Fan

1.) 13 Feb 2025 16:14:41
Sofa_fan we’ll never get anywhere with that because the vast majority of social media racist abuse comes from abroad. You can have a look at the comments on his Instagram for yourself and see that’s the case, exactly the same thing happened with Saka after the euros. Almost all of the vile racism he suffered came from outside Europe.

The media are fully aware of this and it’s pretty and it’s disingenuous and downright sinister the way they bury that information to promote their “working class football fans bad” narrative.


2.) 13 Feb 2025 16:53:02
For me they’re not connected.
There is no excuse/ justification for racism, end of story.


3.) 13 Feb 2025 17:45:10
Not against celebrating in front of away fans after scoring a goal yourself but at full time. never. Brought it on himself. Give the keyboard warriors the ammo himself. Just the same as neville a absolute clown. Dividing the football fans of Everton and Liverpool even more and fuelling the hatred. Stupidity.


4.) 13 Feb 2025 20:55:43
fuels hatred if you're someone who carries hate in your heart.


5.) 13 Feb 2025 21:11:50
Jurgen Klopp ran on the field to celebrate with Alisson during the game! after Divock Origi scored in the last minute against EFC Kop End, that to me is ten times worse, "if ye can't take it, don't give it out".

Ed025 will fully agree with that, "Hear" "Hear"!


6.) 13 Feb 2025 22:25:11
Yeah, I remember that national struggle session after the Euros like it was an epidemic in this country. Calls to change legislation etc. How many people in this country did they actually track down? A handful. Most of it had come from the Middle East and Asia.


7.) 13 Feb 2025 22:37:06
Dacoure is an idiot and could have incited another pitch invasion. However, racial abuse is hideous and goes beyond the realms of the round ball game. Sadly, there are plenty of knuckle-draggers out there looking for an excuse to racially attack anyone of colour who becomes a sporting ‘bad guy’.


8.) 14 Feb 2025 00:20:02
Magico, what has what Doucoure did got to do with the racial abuse he received?
And you are dividing the fans of Everton and Liverpool if you can't see what it wrong with the abuse he received. This is bigger than football and a cross city rivalry.
If Doucoure was an idiot it wasn't because of his ethnicity.


 

 

12 Feb 2025 22:35:42
All I am going to say tonight is that I am tough on Curtis Jones, I think when I see him in videos he seems very confident about himself and I don’t feel like he backs it up on the pitch but tonight I don’t know what the general feeling is but he has gone up in my estimation - don’t get me wrong if a younger scouser who loved Everton did that I don’t think it’s a massive thing because local lad loves the club but when you have a over seas player running towards the away end to celebrate a draw, not a win I think Curtis as our local lad did what anyone would do! So Curtis I will take your too many touches, your constant back passes and you believing your own hype with a little bit of a pinch of salt as I feel tonight mate you did the right thing and I hope it sets a fire in every other players belly!

Sofa_Fan

1.) 12 Feb 2025 22:51:32
Agreed Sofa mate?.


2.) 12 Feb 2025 22:56:06
Has Dacoure done anything massively wrong by giving it some to the crowd?

Jones could end up with a 1-3 game ban now which realistically wasn’t needed.


3.) 12 Feb 2025 23:01:19
Jones was just about out best player he injected the energy. We were really poor but Jones stepped up. Plus he was the one defending the club at the end.


4.) 12 Feb 2025 23:07:23
I think he has JK, you don’t do that, that’s why generally players don’t. Just no need.


5.) 12 Feb 2025 23:08:03
Where’s that fire when he should be closing slab head down at the back post or the equaliser?!


6.) 12 Feb 2025 23:09:09
Think when Gary Neville did it against us, i wasnt happy about it but he was a local Manc who loved his club giving the rivals some - not great but i can take it on the chin - if it was a younger Rooney scoring for Everton against us, I wouldn’t like it but could take it on the chin. I get sick of over seas players coming over stating I supported this club since I was a kid until I get my next move and say it about that club, he is an over seas player what right does he have to do that so I don’t blame a local lad taking offence to it - so he probably didn’t do much wrong but what happens to passionate fans who go on the pitch because of that like their fans did when they scored what implications happen to the fans IF something happened? So for me Dacoure was out of order and Jones should of decked him ;)


7.) 12 Feb 2025 23:19:40
Sofa get what you’re saying and I’m not judge, jury and executioner on Jones either.

I’ve been in plenty of crowds and these players get absolute pelters so we can’t as fans can’t all of a sudden become victims because players giving it back.

Jones can argue that Dacoure was enticing the crowd but the truth is starting a scrap in front of them he’s lucky it didn’t turn into a full blown riot.


8.) 12 Feb 2025 23:01:35
I agree, Sofa Fan.
He'll get a ban but you can't blame the lad.

{Ed025's Note - oh i can Rigsby, he was a bit of a tit mate..


9.) 12 Feb 2025 23:27:15
I am an unapologetic Jones fan, but I’m even more so after tonight. Very proud of him.


10.) 12 Feb 2025 23:28:40
Yeah good point JK, I can understand that ??.


11.) 13 Feb 2025 00:03:06
Sods don’t get me won’t mate I’m more concerned with the fact we might be missing a midfielder for 1-3 games now.


12.) 13 Feb 2025 03:30:41
@JJ23 did you mean inciting as opposed to enticing? I have to say I didn’t find him enticing at all.


13.) 12 Feb 2025 23:48:41
As was Doucoure, Ed025.
A pair of tits but it was an emotional night and I'm not going to be too critical of them.
I don't condone their behaviour but I'm sure a lot of us lose ourselves at times when celebrating or being on the receiving end.
Well, maybe not celebrating a draw ?.

{Ed025's Note - it was emotional Rigsby, i heard it all kicked off because someone called Curtis Jones a footballer mate.. :)

Think he would have had to majorly develop his leadership skills for future captain - you can’t be given the captain arm band through a condition in a contract - in no way does Trent scream LFC captain. That’s nothing against him but if you look at Gerrard, look at Hendo with what opposition players have come out and said how Hendo was on the field, Trent doesn’t look like captain material, just because you might be the best player in a team (not saying that’s the case) and a local lad doesn’t mean you have a right to be captain. You look at the games where fans have said “does he look interested” “head is elsewhere” that’s not captain standards - I maybe wrong but I can’t think of a game where he has stood up when we have been down and said follow me lads like how Stevie did on so many occasions.

If he is going to Madrid, so be it - good luck to him, the team is always bigger than the player and I will always want him to do well, except if against LFC. As long as the club learn from this and prevent losing players on free’s in the future.

He is a special talent but still has some real gaps - it won’t all be sunshine and rainbows at RM if he goes they will demand a lot from him, hope he can step up.

We doing wish lists - I would like to add on Warren Zaire-Emery please I haven’t watched him live (TV), I have seen that we are “monitoring” his situation but he goes on my wish list as he is class on current and previous fifas/ FM? sorry!

The latest thing with Bastoni and Simons I like the look of - I really like Dom for his work rate but how I see a 10 is creative exciting player like Coutinho was for us (slot might not want this), I think if Salah does leave we need to bring in someone like that to create chances, again not seen much of Simons but is he that type of 10 or another LW?

Does it not all come down to how strong of a believe they have in not giving contracts to players over 30 - at some point these players will have to move on and be replaced, LFC have a wage structure they will want to stick to so breaking the wages structure while also breaking the belief of renewing contracts of over 30s - we are being linked (all taken with a pinch of salt) with Salah and VVD replacements but not heard any RB replacements - there could be a world where Trent extends and VVD, Salah aren’t and we look for younger replacements - if we do win the league this year is that not a good time for a rebuild?

My feeling throughout is that we should extend VVD but we need to invest in two young up coming CBs in the eye of replacing VVD in the future and another to compete/ replace Gomez or Quansah. VVD seems a leader of men so don’t want to lose around the club.

Salah is difficult if he accepts a one year deal which I doubt he would do that to bring in his future replacement to spend a year with him if your looking at a younger player - if your looking at someone like rodyrgo to replace you don’t keep Salah - sounds crazy but games against PSG really matter unfortunately I don’t think Salah had the impact he would of wanted - is this years league weaker so is that why Salah looks like he is flying? PSG game did get me thinking differently about Mo.

Trent is Trent - would love him to stay for the moments of brilliance but is he worth our biggest wages? At what point do the moments of brilliance get over shadowed by the negatives? Questioned attitude this year and that’s shocking for a local lad!

Do the club want to put their trust in 33 year olds on massive wages or do they use the summer for the rebuild? What will be will be we have no control on it ultimately but sitting on the fence look how successful we have been currently - we spent 75m on Nunez and offered over 100m to Brighton so they are willing to spend.

You have to ask we win the league this year we are a very good sell for younger players - if you give massive contracts to the over 30s and they get injured like any players do and we struggle for top 4 who are going to come in without champions league football and a massive rebuild needed?

Very good list but can’t see us replacing all our fringe players with the next predicted stars of the future - I wouldn’t say no to any of them but can’t see it happening unfortunately.

Really can’t see it happening but him and Baleba additions to our midfield would be unreal - if calsberg did LFC transfers.

Would love Elliot - would be happy for Mo but my gut is it’s going to be VVD like the final last couple of minutes header from a corner.

Think my opinion is this referee would love a job in the premier league as he has made it all about himself tonight - fair play to Arsenal though, Rice is quality - but all the falling over Arsenal do is soul destroying!

I support everyone who plays in the LFC badge mate - like other I have my favourites and the ones I want to do well but not fussed if we sold them - Jota is probably in that camp for me - I’ve said in the lives on many occasions I’m just not excited when he is starting, I’m not a fan of his body language at times, and think he is easily upgradable - I think the whole he is the most natural finisher we have is poor as he misses quiet a lot of the time it’s just that there aren’t as many chances as another player in his position so the other player get more wrap for it - so to summarise I think we can replace with a better player ??.

That’s so much better than my 4th May idea for VVD and Something Red for the 6th June for Trent!
