Eds do you have any knowledge on if Hato is a prime target?
I rate this player highly and would love to see him in our squad.
{Ed001's Note - he is certainly someone who has been seen as the long term replacement for Virgil, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is next summer.}
1.) 20 May 2025 10:45:10
Isn't Hato about 5 inches shorter than Virgil? Virgil is the ultimate all-around defender. I don't see how we could replace him with someone who has clear deficiencies in his game like his lack of aerial ability.
2.) 20 May 2025 11:17:47
He is still 18 so could still grow a couple of inches?
3.) 20 May 2025 11:21:38
What’s the situation with Hincapie and Inacio? Both have been mentioned in reports over the past couple of years.
4.) 20 May 2025 11:29:30
Wouldn't surprise me if he comes in too because Chelsea are sniffing and you know how that goes.
5.) 20 May 2025 12:11:21
Babbity. Puyol, baresi, cannavaro are all defenders who were short, especially for centre backs. It stopped absolutely none of them from being world class defenders.
Jota is a midget yet when the ball is in the air he often beats towering centre backs to it. Timing beats physical height.
6.) 20 May 2025 12:16:40
One of the best CBs the world has had in Fabio Cannavaro was 5ft 9.
Not suggesting Hato is that however size should not be an issue.
7.) 20 May 2025 12:34:15
Is that what your missus tells you, ShiningSlotsHead?
?.
8.) 20 May 2025 12:35:53
I’m lead to believe it’s all about quality not size.
I assume all high jumpers are over two and a half metres tall?
9.) 20 May 2025 12:41:09
Didn't realise that there are 5 feet 10 midgets Nevada.
10.) 20 May 2025 13:47:19
Nevada that was a different era and not the English game. Modern English football is very physical, especially with so many big number 9s now. Continental football used to be more about tactics, game intelligence and skill. Carvalho had never done weights before he moved to Chelsea.
11.) 20 May 2025 16:29:43
All the time Zed lol
Given im 6ft 5 however my issues tend to be the world being too small for me!
14 May 2025 16:43:50
Wirtz has been to L4 with his reps / parents.
14 May 2025 05:35:03
Real Madrid are ramping up their efforts to sign Dean Huijsen and are confident of beating Chelsea to the Bournemouth centre-back.
1.) 14 May 2025 07:36:34
Well he’s gone then to RM then. On to the next one ??♂️.
2.) 14 May 2025 07:41:37
Which one Longthing.
3.) 14 May 2025 08:25:44
Just because Madrid have “entered the chat” isn’t a reason to back out. As United showed with Yoro, you just have to make the offer better than theirs. That’s not to say let’s go wild, but Madrid are likely to offer him the same that they offered Yoro, which we can easily better without going mad, so as long as we go higher, show him that our prospects are better in both the immediate and long term, then there is no reason not to go for it. We can show that we’ve got a brilliant and progressive coach who has won a league title in one of the most difficult and challenging leagues at his first attempt, he will be playing alongside the best defender in Europe, and more than that, it’s largely a settled squad with no toxic characters, which is not something you can say about Madrid, given they have three of the most toxic individuals playing for them in Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham. Time for Hughes to show what he’s made of.
4.) 14 May 2025 08:37:06
Except the kid wants Madrid @Victor. let it go mate.
5.) 14 May 2025 08:49:26
And they said exactly the same about Yoro, House.
6.) 14 May 2025 08:55:48
100% going to RM, they've been offered great terms, spreading the payments over three payments. If Konate does not sign an extension, we will probably go for Jorrel Hato.
7.) 14 May 2025 09:40:33
Yes Hato please.
8.) 14 May 2025 10:12:44
Think we'll go for Hato now even if Konate signs a contract. Huisen will go to Madrid it seems.
9.) 14 May 2025 10:14:24
So we beat Madrid to the signing of Huijsen. Pay the fee agreed. Then in 5 years time when he is at his peak he leaves for Madrid, for free. Saying, it was always my dream to play for the biggest team in the world.
10.) 14 May 2025 10:46:05
Fancy Viktor saying we have a chance of signing someone haha, I'm all for it.
11.) 14 May 2025 10:54:35
Viktor is being positive. I'm on his side ??.
12.) 14 May 2025 11:19:31
Do my eyes deceive me? This is the first time I've seen Viktor say that it's still possible for us to get a player even though another club is in for that same player. Did Salah or MK hack his account? ;)
13.) 14 May 2025 12:26:05
Why would Real Madrid interest mean he’s automatically going to Madrid? Have you spoken to him? Do you know what’s important to him?
People do turn Madrid down just like every other club you know.
Let’s just wait and see rather than quitting at the first hurdle.
14.) 14 May 2025 12:30:23
He’s only saying that as he knows when we don’t get him he can turn it into a rant about our club. Predictable as it is boring.
15.) 14 May 2025 12:59:19
Sure we have done research on more than just Huijsen, who i would love to have, would equally love Hato or Hincapie too, both more than equally capable of adding to, not just the squad, but first team.
16.) 14 May 2025 13:00:50
Robbo, I think it has something to do with the fact that he is Spanish and plays for the Spanish national team, plus apparently his footballing idol is that creep Ramos (though to be fair his other idol is our own Virgil) .
17.) 14 May 2025 13:29:21
There’s more than one CB in the world Harry. Get a grip man.
18.) 14 May 2025 13:49:31
It’s crazy 1jj I really don’t understand the mentality. Life must just be a series of disappointments because they expect to be disappointed every single time. It’s just a very weak mindset, nobody ever accomplished anything when they are expecting failure at every turn.
It comes to something when Victor is the most positive person on a thread.
19.) 14 May 2025 13:53:32
Has the club ever actually engaged into talks with/ over DH? We get linked to every player we never know who we are in for until a bid goes in.
Media guesswork being a top player has a release clause and Liverpool will be in the market.
We will sign whoever the data suggests is the best fit as always, could be a complete unknown.
Sit back and enjoy the ride and wait for the LFC media team to post images of any new players.
20.) 14 May 2025 17:38:54
The silly thing is, everyone is getting stressed about Huijsen but even if we signed him would he start ahead of VVD and Konate?
Not for me.
21.) 14 May 2025 17:39:09
LFC supposedly offered Trent more money contract than madrid that did not work so why should it work with Huijsen?
22.) 14 May 2025 21:15:23
Because, iwillbeinbred, they are completely different people and what Trent does has no reckoning on what Huijsen does. Unless I'm mistaken? Has anyone seen them in the same room? They look very similar.
29 Apr 2025 17:39:49
Eds, any word on where Whartons preference for a move is?
He and Rigg would be my choices.
{Ed001's Note - who says he is looking to move?}
1.) 29 Apr 2025 21:42:28
I would be looking to move if I was him. He's too good for Palace and the way they were playing him when he was injured earlier this season was disgraceful. Shows they don't have the player's long-term interests at heart.
2.) 30 Apr 2025 11:28:21
Now we are just making stuff up.
3.) 30 Apr 2025 17:01:50
Drop him a X and ask him where he wants to go.
01 Jan 2025 19:14:22
Johnathan David on a free, to take away some of the sour taste when Trent joins Francos army.
1.) 01 Jan 2025 19:48:24
After what the lad has said about us?
He can do one.
2.) 01 Jan 2025 20:19:48
Intrigued mango, what has he said?
3.) 02 Jan 2025 01:59:07
Didn’t he went on to list a few clubs that he doesn’t mind playing for in the premier league, except Liverpool. Something to that effect.
4.) 02 Jan 2025 04:17:08
Who? Agree Mango.
5.) 02 Jan 2025 08:39:12
Not sure what he said is in the same league as what Bale or Pulisic said about us, Bale who outright slagged us off as a club and a city, and Pulisic who outright said he didn’t want to play for us as he’s a United fan, I’m not sure that omission is the same in this case. That said I can’t see it happening.
6.) 02 Jan 2025 10:01:22
Have heard the exact quote he said. There’s no way he’s joining us after he said that.
7.) 02 Jan 2025 13:01:34
If I took personally 'words' from friends or work colleagues I'd be a bitter hermit living a sad life, people say things and very often regret them or say them when antagonists into making a statement. Poor Trent is being lashed on here for not saying words, MO in previous windows for saying words that didn't appeal to some on here.
Don't let the words hurt you, if they sign then they want to be here and they could become the next LFC legends, isn't that more important than your feelings?
8.) 02 Jan 2025 13:09:07
More than happy to continue our "no ****head" policy when it comes to recruitment. The culture we have at the club is too precious to risk.

Data from FBref underlines why Liverpool are reportedly keen on Stiller.
The 24-year-old plays an average of 9.63 progressive passes per game, placing him in the 98th percentile of all midfielders in Europe's top five leagues.
Not only does he break the lines with regularity, he also ranks in the 92nd percentile for most key passes per 90 minutes with an average of 1.9. For example, Trent Alexander-Arnold averages 1.79 key passes per game.
1.) 02 May 2025 08:22:07
Internet noise currently imo, have never heard this player connected to the club in any reliable manner.
2.) 02 May 2025 09:44:32
Kaiser, you said it yourself. Internet stuff.
3.) 02 May 2025 11:42:10
You could say that (internet stuff) about 99.9% of the transfer rumours on here though.
4.) 02 May 2025 11:52:38
Internet noise and rumours being discussed on a rumours site. Heaven forbid the audacity of Vango!
5.) 02 May 2025 13:17:08
RedQ, where did I say people cannot speak about rumors on this site, exactly? I gave my opinion on the rumor (yeah, internet stuff) and that was it.
6.) 02 May 2025 14:18:24
Apologies for the upset Oli lad, I was more having a tongue in cheek joke at Kaiser's response.
Had to be the first to get the generic rumours on a rumours page response when a post gets downplayed immediately.
Back to the main point, Stiller looks okay in all fairness and i wouldn't be surprised to see us linked. He is similar to Grav in the sense he can receive the ball deep turn comfortably and break the lines. Has an eye for a pass and his ball recovery and tackles won stats are at the upper end of the DM's in Bundesliga.
Came through the Munich academy so has some pedigree. Would be surprised if they weren't trying to lure him back at some point.
7.) 02 May 2025 15:33:44
Ive not seen still play but if he signs for us id be interested to meet the focker.
8.) 03 May 2025 08:32:34
Oli the funny part is you're a LFC internet fan.
24 Apr 2025 20:45:21
Respectfully, In this instance, Carra is talking nonsense.
Respectfully, Carragher doesn't know what he's talking about here. But it's Ok. Pundits aren't particularly knowledgeable on setups. despite how much footage they need comb through to get ready for broadcasting. If he paid a little more attention, he'd notice we're not setup to accommodate a no.10.
When Slot was asked in his first press conference, whether he'd change our 4-3-3 setup at Liverpool into the 4-2-3-1 setup he used at Feynood, he responded saying; 'who told you I use a 4-2-3-1? Maybe he should go get his license or analyse a bit better'. to the nervous laughter of the reporters
According to Slot, we use a 4-3-3. with some positional freedom. Off the ball, the defensive setup if we're pressing will be the normal 4-4-2 or 4-2-4, but if we're in our own half, it may be the 4-1-4-1. That's the benefit of the 4-3-3, if offers the most flexibility contextually in different phases of play. Gravy is the deepest of the 3 and Dom is the highest of the 3. But it we can be flexible. but people still think we play with a double pivot.
Talk of the Cherki's and Xavi Simons' of this world are futile. We're not setup for that profile. They'd more or less take as much part as Elliott has this season. Dom should aim for the same amount of goals/ assists as Macca. We know what he's capable of because whenever he pulls his right foot back on the edge of the box, he draws in multiple players. He's doing superb, more so because of how much ridiculous ground he's covering.
1.) 24 Apr 2025 22:06:56
Vango I'll keep saying it. Sky deliberately pick this geezer to run the anti LFC agendas on purpose cos well, "He is LFC thru and thru so he can't be biased". Now I saw the headline about the hit piece he does on Dom Szoboslai, one of the players (whatever you think of him) our title win was built on. It's getting boring now to the point I didn't even read it. The headline was enuff for me.
2.) 24 Apr 2025 22:31:07
How do you it was a hit piece if you didn’t read it?
3.) 24 Apr 2025 23:08:28
Szoboszlai has not been superb.
He's been average. He's not a deep lying midfielder or a number ten.
I don't think he's a top class front three player, either.
And if you think Carragher has an anti-Liverpool agenda, you can miss me out with that schtick.
4.) 24 Apr 2025 23:51:52
Carras as bad a pundit abs a human being as Neville can’t stand either and haven’t bothered watching any punditry since they started pushing all this woke nonsense.
{Ed078's Note - woke? Maybe you can define it for me?
5.) 25 Apr 2025 00:14:23
I'm with rigsby, to be honest Dom is genuinely not really any different or better than hendo. There's nothing outstanding in his game besides his work rate and stamina.
6.) 25 Apr 2025 06:11:45
Every year a fan brings up something about a #10 and every year I roll my eyes.
7.) 25 Apr 2025 06:28:51
Carra the click bait king, stopped reading his stuff after the spitting incident. Useless pundit imo.
22 Apr 2025 10:31:43
Ed's any idea who is favoured by LFC over Cunha, since it looks like he'll be going to Manutd?
{Ed001's Note - does it?}
1.) 22 Apr 2025 11:40:40
Most of the reports are originating from Romano. Tbh, Romano is quite a smart journalist. He seemingly provides blow by blow updates to transfers without providing any new information. To me, he just uses a rhe.
2.) 22 Apr 2025 11:41:45
I hope what's his face is wrong, but so the rumours go.
3.) 22 Apr 2025 11:44:43
Sorry, pressed send too early. Wanted to say that he uses a thesaurus to repeat the same thing in multiple ways, using words like "leading the race", "in prime position", and "final stages". And if the transfer happens, he pats himself on the back for providing everyone with updates every hour.
But if it doesn't happen, he sensationalises it by saying that other clubs "swooped in" or "hijacked" the deal. He is extremely good at drumming up interests in transfers even if things are not happening.
My guess is that Utd approached Cunha or Wolves, asking if he'd be interested in a move to them and he said maybe but he's keeping his options open for now.
4.) 22 Apr 2025 12:08:48
There’s the kid in me screaming
“Just go get isak. It’s one of those nailed on Haaland transfers where you just know he’s going to score loads and be worth the money.
I don’t care how much money they have, they are only Newcastle. They throw parades for league cups. Just go get him stop messing around with Cunha’s and Delaps”
Then the older head is like.
“We just won the league with Darwin Nunez. We Don’t need anyone”.
5.) 22 Apr 2025 12:09:35
Do you know if we were interested in him? I've seen him being mentioned as one of the striker option for us a long time ago. But not recently. Now its either one of Isak or if we can't afford him, its Ekitike based on reporter.
{Ed001's Note - yes we were.}
6.) 22 Apr 2025 12:44:51
There's no way he's going to United mate, not a chance. Both he and Isak are going to have no shortage of strong offers this summer. For them, it’ll come down to who makes the first serious move and which club shows the most genuine intent to bring them in.
7.) 22 Apr 2025 12:51:51
"United are in prime position" is also the same as "United are the first team to declare interest" in the player.
8.) 22 Apr 2025 12:52:29
Cunha has had a pretty good last 2 seasons in the Premier League 14 (so far) and 12 goals but the 2 seasons before that were underwhelming 2 goals in PL and 6 in La Liga.
9.) 22 Apr 2025 13:07:39
Please not Ekitike. This lad is nowhere near ready for the PL. Leave him be, watch him develop in the German league and see where he is in a couple of years. Moving now would ruin his career and not give us the player we need.
10.) 22 Apr 2025 13:12:35
I really like Cunha and think he would be a great signing. However, his discipline is bit of a red flag. Many will say its only a couple of red cards spread throughout a season but one red card can be the difference between winning and losing a title. that's the bar we have set. Also we must have the most harmonious group of players. Would hate to see that in any way upset.
{Ed001's Note - his record before this season was pretty much spotless.}
13 Apr 2025 12:08:43
Bajcetic has had a bit of a mixed season out on-loan. His first half of the season spell at RB Salzburg certainly proved Liverpool right that he was not ready to play once again for the Reds.
However, since pushing for a move to Las Palmas in January, Bajcetic has been reborn. The Spain U21 star has looked right at home in La Liga.
That continued on Saturday, with Bajcetic playing 90 minutes as the Canaries won for the first time since he joined the club. And according to the Spanish press, he was key to their 3-1 victory.
"Bajcetic could be a starting midfielder for any team in the League, " wrote journalist Javi Rolan.
1.) 13 Apr 2025 12:34:44
I would love Bajcetic to prove me wrong, but I am not convinced Slot/ Hughes fancy him as an option. I guess we will see in pre-season.
2.) 13 Apr 2025 12:34:57
Cheers Vango.
Question is would he start for Real, Athletico and Barca?
I’d say no at this stage which makes the statement from the journalist quite far fetched.
3.) 13 Apr 2025 12:54:27
We all know the lad can play. Hopefully he can sort out whatever attitude issues he is known to have, because he can be the Gravenberch/ Macallister backup we crave.
4.) 13 Apr 2025 13:32:06
"DI-STEFANO" bajcetic,
Will replace Endo as Mr Versatility in the squad, proved already he can play the defensive midfielder quite effectively ask Jurgen for a reference.
Would definitely be worth a pre-season run out as either a central defender (could well be the next Thiago Silva has the abilities/ traits) or replacement for TAA at right back as foremost he is a proper football player, and not someone who runs about aimlessly, give him a role and he will fulfill his duties.
His very good early progress was stopped by an injury worse than an ACL, he completely broke the ligament (under your bum) which connects your TWO legs together, an ACL is only concerned with one of your legs, indeed Jurgen commented at the time he had never came across this type of injury as it was very, very rare in his vast experience.
Nothing is as good as what Human Nature gives you when you first leave the Womb, people expecting him to hit the ground running straight away is not going to happen, until it knits as good as it can finally get and obviously his mental problems go away for good.
Not 21 till October still a Baby, will only improve with football experience not deteriorate his outstanding football abilities, Patience will reap its Rewards for his long future LFC career.
5.) 13 Apr 2025 17:19:20
what a load of bull, subbed at half time last 2 games before being benched for the last 2. only hype was because he scored a goal in his 2nd game, has been very average since then and that's being kind.
6.) 14 Apr 2025 09:21:50
KurtStiener69 -The report above, if you read it, is from his most recent game, which was a few days ago.
He is a young player, learning his trade and should not be written off by anyone at 21.
01 Jan 2025 19:03:02
Mad to think that away to Forest could be the most decisive game of the season.
1.) 01 Jan 2025 19:37:44
there are 19 other games so its as important as any of them.
2.) 01 Jan 2025 21:24:44
Agree @Vango, certainly is mad to think it.
3.) 02 Jan 2025 02:06:15
Most decisive game of the season so far.
4.) 02 Jan 2025 08:14:31
Given that Arsenal have moved into 2nd place perhaps not losing to them was the most decisive game of the season so far?
5.) 02 Jan 2025 08:49:40
Arsenal 3rd last game of the season will be a winner takes all game in my opinion.
6.) 02 Jan 2025 12:37:58
Err, have we played (and beaten) Utd yet cos I thought that was before the Forrest game?
24 May 2025 08:24:27
rodrygo? could he play with Wirtz?
24 May 2025 08:04:46
I forsee a raft of outgoings, generating over 200m.
CK - 30M
Gomez -35m
Tsimi - 15m
Elliott - 45m
Morton -15m
Endo - 20m
Doak - 23m
Diaz - 70m
Jota - 40m
Nunez -65m
over 350 there plus whatever the budget was - so i can belive Akira that another highly priced player is joining on top of Wirtz.
Some of the departing players squad place can be filled via the youth team, but it does mean that we will need to buy more also.
24 May 2025 05:26:10
Forward Joao Pedro will miss Brighton's final game of the Premier League season at Tottenham because of his involvement in a "small issue" during training.
The Brazil striker was left out of Monday's 3-2 home win against Liverpool after reportedly being involved, external in a training ground altercation with defender Jan Paul van Hecke.
23 May 2025 21:47:57
Pedro's attitude is poor, he's not a red.
22 May 2025 20:28:19
All in all there could be a fairly large kitty generated through sales, especially with Edwards chiselling the granny out of everyone.
I don't see Slot having any emotional attachments - he will be ruthless if a player is unlikely to ever fit into his plans.
With Wirtz playing the bobby role, and a proper CF option signed, we will be a force to be reckoned with.
20 May 2025 07:51:09
If anyone cares to look up Ed002's comments about Mac/ Real/ 2025, there is some indication that this could be so, although it seems more likely for some time in the future than now.
14 May 2025 11:12:33
Anyone seen the Amazong Klopp documentary? Do you remember what Klopp said about Jones?
12 May 2025 20:31:55
Gakpo is a streaky player who can and does go missing for months.
04 May 2025 07:11:57
Hato looks more likely for various reasons. When do we ever sign the person all of the media are talking about?
22 Apr 2025 16:33:43
Rogers, Hato, Gomes.
