See some rumors about Branthwaite and some big clubs looking at him.
Weren't we interested in him a while back.or was it just banter talk with Ed25?
{Ed025's Note - hes a very good player JLC but i dont think the bigger clubs will be looking at him due to his injury record mate..
13 Jun 2026 01:19:38
Hi folks, haven't been posting regularly in the past season but this site remains buzzing
The loss of Ed02 remains hard as his personality and being a real ITK is sorely missed. A few like carra, Robbo, fields, have stepped up, and it's nice to see the return of ST after what must have been a difficult season in life. And try as Guy might, but it seems s/he is either an imposter or just a great wind up 😂
Some familiar posters like Olired, Davey, MK, Salah are still around, but it seems leekuanyew, harry (or maybe I can't recognise his new name) is gone?
Seeing less of ed25 but hoping he is well as his 'stay away from drugs', 'rose tinted', glasshouses and stones' will never get old
Finally, regardless of who we sign, I am confident we did win a few silverware this coming season. Reason is simple - whenever I loved our kits (and I do like both the home and away ones last season), we do poorly. The new kit in the coming season is not to my liking but I guess that's the price of us achieving the quadruple.
Have a good summer or World Cup whichever is to your liking. And I certainly hope under Iraola, we'll have some good years of intense, high octane, attacking football once again.
{Ed025's Note - great to see you back SG, i hope you are well mate..
13 Jun 2026 12:53:59
Leek got permanently banned, I believe, for saying something pretty bad about Jota, if I remember correctly.
13 Jun 2026 03:17:56
Has anyone watched Szobo when he plays for Hungary? It seems that more often than not he plays off the left in a 4231 with Kerkez behind him. Haven't personally watched them, so would love some insight.
I'm not suggesting this is a long term option, but would it be the end of the world if we fixed our midfield and made do with Szobo on the wing for a season until Rio gets more minutes or a better option becomes available (Like Yildiz if Juve miss Champions League football again).
13 Jun 2026 07:40:57
That's the same position Wirtz plays for Germany. A left sided 10 with freedom.
13 Jun 2026 08:57:27
I watched him against Ireland recently and he had a free role. Played Number 10 but popped up everywhere. He was class that night. He still was only the second best player on the pitch though, after Troy Parrot.
13 Jun 2026 09:06:32
Exactly, Hellohello. Szobo has the freedom of the whole of Budapest when he plays for Hungary. He does not have a specific position in midfield, in attack and in defence. I wouldn't pay too much attention to where on the pitch he occupies for his country. He is literally everywhere.
13 Jun 2026 09:43:25
Before Szob signed for us he played on the right. Personally, if you're going to play one of Flo or Szob on left I would prefer Flo left and Szob 10.
13 Jun 2026 13:14:52
In a funny way, Wirtz needs the freedom to roam & create as much as Dom needs the freedom to press, use his athleticsm to get around. I wonder if there's a way to give them a free role to almost cover each other. Both can cover ground and both can attack.
13 Jun 2026 03:08:21
Not a rumour as such but watching the USA game and I think Christian Pulisic always comes across very sharp and tidy. I’m nearly sure his contract could be coming to an end and would be a great player to add squad depth, and on his day he’s a very good player. Plenty of experience and still only 27.
13 Jun 2026 07:34:40
Always injured. No thanks.
13 Jun 2026 07:36:16
Injury prone, flatters to deceive, wrong end of his career.
13 Jun 2026 08:59:51
Christian pulled a sickie.
13 Jun 2026 09:07:29
He plays his best for his country cos he has the freedom to do so as he is their best player by a mile. He is also severely injury-prone. Hard pass.
13 Jun 2026 10:07:24
He's not that good and he's 27. He would struggle in the Premier League now imo.
13 Jun 2026 10:16:09
Hard pass.
13 Jun 2026 10:30:43
No thanks. Not good enough, frequently injured and unable to stick with any particular team for too long.
12 Jun 2026 23:04:16
I hope this does not come across as being totally insensitive. I’m just curious if clubs insure players against career ending injury or death? After all they are a multi million pound asset.
13 Jun 2026 02:00:01
Yes, players are insured by clubs.
12 Jun 2026 21:25:35
I personally would bypass the crazy high transfer fee in Diomande.
Let PSG buy him.
And then go for Kang in Lee.
Can play multiple positions far far cheaper and I think would be a monster on either flank.
12 Jun 2026 21:46:15
I think we shouldn't worry about the money and trust the club to spend what they can afford.
If they feel Diomande is a better option than Kang in Lee (which he clearly is), and they feel the club can afford him, then they should go and get him.
FSG have been accused of penny pinching since they arrived, and now they are loosening the purse strings, they're getting criticised for spending too much.
From my point of view, giving up on Diomande and signing Kang in Lee instead would be very underwhelming and would show a lack of real ambition.
12 Jun 2026 21:46:32
We're trying to replace Salah here, not Chiesa.
12 Jun 2026 22:07:02
Diomande will be generational imo. Yes, he's expensive, but don't forget the fee is amortised over a max 5 years.
12 Jun 2026 22:54:57
Post loop, is it on a 3 day rotation that you post the same post? And then wait for people to point out that you are mistaken.
And then 3 days later, reset and start again?
Asking for a friend.
12 Jun 2026 22:59:38
Money is not something fans should unduly worry about. Getting the right players and the coach to get a tune out of them is what matters. We have to trust that FSG can do the math.
12 Jun 2026 23:57:11
Postklopp,
Yes, let PSG take the star player and go for a player who can't get in their team. That would bridge the gap between us and them - not! Why are you so worried about the money? Are they raiding your bank account? I'm sure the hierarchy at the club know what we can afford and what is needed.
12 Jun 2026 23:59:34
12 goals in 80 games in Ligue 1, but he’d be a monster in the Premier League? Hilarious.
13 Jun 2026 03:41:41
To be fair here, Kang In Lee would be a good addition, but not for the RW. He is a decent player.
Diomande is our preferred, and we should go all out to get the best in class.
13 Jun 2026 07:41:23
Why do people worry about money that's not theirs. We are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and we have very good accountants that will tell us that it's ok to spend an amount of money.
If we sign Diomande for 100mill and it works out great, then fantastic. If we sign him and he's a flop, then so be it. Life goes on, why stress about it.
13 Jun 2026 09:09:16
Postklopp, if not wanting to pay the Diomande fee is your issue, then what makes you think PSG will not fleece us for Kang Lee, exactly?
12 Jun 2026 21:05:50
Watching Robbo being interviewed on BBC. Just can't believe he doesn't play for us any more. 🥹
12 Jun 2026 22:24:05
Times are a changing, Wilo. 😔
13 Jun 2026 08:10:38
I used to say that about Emlyn Hughes, on a Question of Sport.
13 Jun 2026 09:09:45
You gotta change with the times, man. Robbo has.
13 Jun 2026 10:33:09
Everything in life has an expiry date. 😉
13 Jun 2026 10:35:44
Imagine him next season v Frimpong. Even a supposed over the hill Robbo will school him.
12 Jun 2026 18:48:47
Anyone seen any Spanish/Basque players that might be looked at now we have Iraola in charge such as Mikel Jauregizar of Bilbao and Iker Munoz from Osasuna?
12 Jun 2026 19:11:58
Stefan Bajcetic and Wellity Lucky? 🤣
12 Jun 2026 19:25:39
There's a joke to be made with Lucky's name, I'm not the person who is good at these jokes though.
12 Jun 2026 21:07:17
We'll be paying a premium for them, as Athletic Bilbao have a strict internal rule about Basque players being the main bulk of the squad. So they never let them go cheaply.
12 Jun 2026 21:57:32
Isn't Munoz off to Newcastle?
12 Jun 2026 22:57:10
Different Munoz, thats Victor Munoz, whos a winger.
12 Jun 2026 23:00:00
Athletic Bilbao are not a selling club - if any other club meets a player's release clause, that's not selling, which happened with Kepa to Chelsea, Herrera to United, Laporte to City or Javi Martinez to Bayern.
For his latest contract extension, running until 2031, both Mikel Jauregizar and the club agreed on not inserting a release clause, as he does not wish to leave the club.
13 Jun 2026 00:09:23
Not sure that's true, Magnus, mate. Pretty sure all contracts in Spain must contain a release clause. Nothing to stop them setting it ridiculously high though.
13 Jun 2026 00:56:39
What Rugby Parker said. I'm pretty sure that release clauses are compulsory in Spain. But they don't have to be reasonable though. That's why we see release clauses of 1b for players like Pedri and Lamine.
13 Jun 2026 08:31:31
Well, he has no release clause. Have a look at the club's website or any other Spanish news outlet. Here's the link to the former:
jauregizar article
13 Jun 2026 13:18:36
I did like Mikel Jauregizar when I saw him play in those Europa games against Man Utd last season. Very tidy little player.
12 Jun 2026 18:48:23
Alisson: "I'm 100%. Missing games for Liverpool was part of the plan to make sure I was ready for the World Cup."
I honestly don't know how to feel about that. Love Alisson, best keeper I have ever seen, but that quote just doesn't sit right with me. Hopefully a quote lost in translation, rather than a player skipping Liverpool matches for that of his national team.
12 Jun 2026 19:02:59
Hi Mango... Is that a snippet of a larger quote? As you say, hopefully lost in translation along the media pathway?. ✌
12 Jun 2026 19:21:46
I for one would never doubt Ali's commitment to us.
12 Jun 2026 19:40:34
I suspect it was just a case that he wasn't risked if he wasn't 100% fit.
12 Jun 2026 21:53:27
Mistranslation, probably done intentionally just for a bit of headline; the original quote was "'...part of the process..." not 'part of the plan'.
12 Jun 2026 22:10:06
He has missed 40 games over two seasons with injury. Who's to say if he stays for another year, he's not going to miss all of those.
13 Jun 2026 10:54:44
Mango, there's clearly some loss in translation or not reported with the right context. Like Keegans has said, he's missed 40 games in 2 years. It can't be that he's been preparing for the World Cup for 2 years? I have no doubts about the man's commitment. It would show in his performances, otherwise.
13 Jun 2026 11:00:15
Mango, can you provide us with the complete discussion where that quote was retrieved from? because one cannot just make quote the part we want to pick to make a point without knowing what was said before and after it. You know, context and all that.
