Fantastic. YNWA Mo.
28 Mar 2026 07:45:55
Later, Mo, it's been a blast. Now go get your 7 Gold Lambos, and enjoy being a God in Arabia.
28 Mar 2026 10:32:28
I watched "Never Give Up" about Mo on YouTube last night.
We have been truly blessed to have him.
He's more than earned the very best send-off that Anfield and the Kop can deliver.
28 Mar 2026 10:27:49
A snide, churlish and unwarranted comment btw Iron Man. I'd suggest you require stringent ludovico technique therapy prior to further posting.
30 Mar 2026 13:08:21
Ironman, and why would Mo do that when he could have done that years before and didn't just to stay with us w-and win things, which he did?
27 Mar 2026 20:13:58.
Elliott Anderson will end up at United or Chelsea.
Good player though a bit limited when it comes to skill and passing ability.
I think there is better players for us to sign.
Ederson at Atalanta or Sadiki at Sunderland are both excellent.
I also think Stiller at Stufgart would be a good option as would Trinidade at Wolves.
I am keen to see a marquee signing on the right, Olise for me and someone really good on the left, Barcola for me, but not attainable, so maybe Diomande.
Agree4Disagree0
27 Mar 2026 23:15:29.
I thought he was almost certainly going to City, but I don’t know how true that is. If I’m honest I’d love him at Liverpool. Gold knows how much we have as well.
If I’m talking same amount spend as last summer, I’d like:
Anderson, Wharton, Gray (if Tottenham go down).
Let Jones and McAllister leave. Geertruida would also be a good buy for his versatility.
For wing two of Diomande, Fofana and Akliouchi, with Gakpo leaving.
We will also have Jacquet and Leoni, plus Bradley back.
27 Mar 2026 23:48:08
I'd add Vuksovic to that wishlist, RJ.
28 Mar 2026 04:08:18
Vuskovic definitely. Gertruida, I agree, is a good option, can cover CB too.
Fofana, no way. Hardly played all season, injury problems, that's a hard no, thanks.
Diomande, yes please, but not attainable, £70-80m, he hasn't done enough to warrant that cost.
Kayode for RB would be nice.
Wharton, no thanks, no better than MacAllister.
Barcola, yes please. The boy is world class, despite some on here disagreeing.
28 Mar 2026 07:06:47
No names, but positions would be:
Rb
Ch
Cm x 2
Versatile defender
Forward
Pace and power the key attributes, though - and robustness. Please no more lightweight, one-paced snowflakes.
28 Mar 2026 07:16:41
Vuskovic of course.
28 Mar 2026 10:02:17
If we are to get a replacement for Arne Slot, then surely he or she should select the players they would like, if available, not us lot on this site.
28 Mar 2026 10:32:04
Called a banter site, mate. I think most managers would like Anderson in the prem.
28 Mar 2026 11:15:51
To change direction, which players do people see leaving in the summer?
Salah, we already know, is.
Robertson is likely.
Konate, good chance.
Gakpo, for me, is another I think will leave.
Depending on who comes in possibles such as McAllister, Jones, Van Dijk, Elliot.
Huge amount in wages recouped, even from just the first group of players.
If we play a more high tempo game, I'd like to see Chiesa given a chance.
28 Mar 2026 12:07:18
Albey, are we thinking of getting a woman boss? Why the he or she nonsense? I'm sure that would please a few posters on here, though.
27 Mar 2026 19:14:38
Question for everyone: it has often happened that players have blossomed at Liverpool even though they tanked in other clubs before coming to us (Salah at Chelsea is the obvious example). But what are the examples of players who tanked at Liverpool but then turned into superstars after they left us?
Agree1Disagree0
27 Mar 2026 20:54:41
Steve Ogrizovic.
27 Mar 2026 21:06:37
It's a short list, to be honest. Most players who succeeded after playing for us were good players for us first.
Steve Staunton might be a shout? Was always a decent player, but cemented his legacy at Villa.
27 Mar 2026 21:11:41
Our next manager was very good when he played for us, but got better when he left us.
27 Mar 2026 21:27:16
Sterling made his name more at City than us?
Suso and Riera are 2 players that we, on the boards, have discussed bringing back.
Galusci was also discussed.
There have been others who have had long careers in the top 5 leagues, but the ones above are the main ones I can think of recently.
27 Mar 2026 21:28:56
Luis Alberto apparently done well when he left.
Harry Wilson springs to mind. Whatever happened to Benteke, or am I dreaming that he played for us???
Arbeloa done well at Madrid too.
27 Mar 2026 21:34:06
Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto are the most recent that spring to mind. Both went on to have good careers after failing to really make an impact for us. To be fair, though, Aspas had done pretty well in Spain before we signed him. Peter Gulacsi has also had a really good career.
27 Mar 2026 21:35:12
Aspas is still doing alright at Celta Vigo.
Also Luis Suarez didn't have a bad career after us. Not too sure whether to put Kelleher on the list yet as he needs to prove consistency first.
27 Mar 2026 21:38:07
Showing my age here, but Kevin Sheedy.
27 Mar 2026 21:40:07
Suso.
27 Mar 2026 21:53:31
Neco Williams ain't doing bad at Athletic Club. ;)
27 Mar 2026 21:57:17
Not superstars tho!
27 Mar 2026 22:11:45
Brad Friedel. Not a superstar, but super keeper imo. Looked v poor for us in his short stint and then went on to be an excellent keeper for years, much better than what we had in nets after he left.
27 Mar 2026 22:18:13
Alou Diarra. Didn't get a game at Liverpool. Went on to win the French league with two different clubs, French Cup with another, and 44 caps for France and a World Cup runners-up medal.
27 Mar 2026 22:20:49
Alou Diarra.
27 Mar 2026 23:53:00
Friedel is a great shout, Digger.
Anelka also went through a few decent spells later in his career after he left us.
28 Mar 2026 04:13:12
Iago Aspas, Steve Staunton, Luis Suarez, McManaman did good at Real. More recently, Harry Wilson is doing well.
The list is fairly small, though tbh.
28 Mar 2026 07:14:39
Khelleher is doing well and would take him back as Ali's successor.
28 Mar 2026 07:15:44
Mis read that question, thought it was who we would take back.
28 Mar 2026 07:26:13
Surely Xabi is the foremost example? He was a super player for us, but he became one of the greatest midfielders in footballing history at Real and continued being great at an advanced age at Bayern.
He went up one or two levels after leaving us, though that didn't have to do with leaving us, since he was already beginning to exhibit that kind of form when he left.
Mascherano would be another example, I guess.
28 Mar 2026 07:39:37
The post says tanked. Suarez/Alonso/Mascherano/Anelka didn't play bad for us, so I wouldn't include them.
Diarra
Suso
Alberto
Wilson (didn't get the chance)
Neco (same as above)
Aspas
Gulasci
Coates
Solanke? Was very young
Ryan Kent - carved a decent career in SPL
Coady? Never broken through but had a decent career.
28 Mar 2026 08:15:12
Ah right, Kloppers, silly me, I missed that part.
Um.....Danny Ings maybe?
28 Mar 2026 08:54:50
Kim Cattrall
28 Mar 2026 09:40:01
Mikel San Jose. Had a decent career after being in our 21's. Ended up with a few caps for Spain too.
Some of the vast baffling signings ever. I've taken some liberties with a LB at CB. Sorry Cissokho.
27 Mar 2026 21:14:12
Jimmy Carter would be the first name on any team sheet and would be the captain of the team.
27 Mar 2026 21:39:32
Samed Yesil.
27 Mar 2026 22:03:43
Bogdan
Kromkamp
Kabak

Dicks
Stewart
Poulsen

Joke Hole
Balotelli

I think that's an all timer of shite.

28 Mar 2026 10:07:43
Spot on, Irish Rover, the thing is we don't want to go back to signing players of this standard ever again. YNWA.
Who
Would you guys go for if you could have Elliott or Wharton?
I really like Elliot Anderson myself.
YNWA.
{Ed001's Note - I don't think Wharton has improved under Glasner, if anything regressed, so I would avoid him as he brings similar issues to Mac Allister.}
Agree2Disagree12
27 Mar 2026 19:02:03
I have to say I haven't been overly impressed with Wharton this season and I was an advocate of his signing last season. He's too safe but at a new club, under a new manager? Who knows. ?♂️
27 Mar 2026 19:33:23
Willing to give Wharton another chance given Palace have been chaotic on and off it. If we're basing players off this season alone, I'd never sign a Liverpool player minus one or two.
27 Mar 2026 20:07:36
Wharton clearly has exceptional vision and passing ability, and whilst I haven't watched him much, I have never been overly impressed with his mobility or domination of the midfield, which should be the priority in my opinion.
I haven't seen Anderson play much either, to be honest, so couldn't comment on him.
I'd probably be going for someone like Baleba, Kone or Stiller.
27 Mar 2026 19:10:00
Ed001 our midfield does not looked balanced with Gravenberch as the number 6 I would love a Fabinho type player there and then Sobs and Wirtz.
Apart from Slot's training or lack of and his tactics what your views on who should play there from what we have and who do you think could bring a more balance to the team.
{Ed001's Note - it has to be Szobo and Gravy and just make sure Gravy sits.}
27 Mar 2026 20:26:23
Maybe me...
I was never convinced by Xhaka at Arsenal.
Okay. A slower league, but he looked good under Alonso at BL.
Tactically, I'm hoping Alonso can transform Gravenberch into something better than what he was last season and progress him as a player.
With Dom and Wirtz in front of him, with decent back ups that are used from the bench, we should push on for next season.
27 Mar 2026 21:54:57
Buy both Wharton and Anderson. Different skill sets to help create a balanced midfield.
27 Mar 2026 23:49:35
Gazza827, what makes you think Alonso will be at Liverpool next season? He won't be.
28 Mar 2026 11:31:29
I think people are setting themselves up for disappointment with Alonso. I think we'll dither with deciding what to do on Slot then Alonso goes to City, because they won't f around like we do, as we found out with Semenyo & Guehi. Slot will likely stay in the same way that Bodgers did and get sacked at the start of next season after an inevitable poor run of results. Unfortunately there won't be a Klopp around to get us out of the mess we'll be digging in the dregs for a new manager.
As for Wharton, not impressed. Defensively isn't very good, far too slow, zero mobility and for a big lad he has no physicality whatsoever. If he wasn't English no one would pay attention.
27 Mar 2026 15:20:01
Always liked Salah when he was at Basel and was pretty peeved when he went to Chelsea. I was really excited when he eventually made his way back and signed for us, but never in my wildest dreams did I think he'd go on to do the things he did.
Agree14Disagree0
27 Mar 2026 16:41:45
Clicked send too early. Thank you Mo, I feel very blessed to have seen you at your best and in a Liverpool shirt. Absolute legend. I feel like we've said goodbye to quite a few lately. We've really been treated to some phenomenal players over the last decade or so.
27 Mar 2026 16:49:00
I thought he was gonna be a backup to Sadio ??. Oh, how wrong I was.
In my defence, though, they did play on the same side at the time.
27 Mar 2026 17:01:11
Personally, I always knew, back to his Basel days, what he was going to become.
I saw a few clips on thought.
We sign that guy, and he will go down as an all time great, breaking loads of scoring and assist records.
Probably pick up about 2 league titles and Champions League with that guy, I thought.
I could just tell, from the way he moved, that was going to happen. Just an excellent judge of player, I guess.
27 Mar 2026 17:15:24
LFC 8, according to the latest Klopp interview, Salah had the same fears as you.
27 Mar 2026 18:13:56
I also loved him at Basel and really really wanted to sign him that January. So glad we got him when we did.
What is the Klopp interview, please?
27 Mar 2026 18:45:50
Magnificent, Davey. I always said you were great. From the beginning. No, before.
27 Mar 2026 18:47:09
I was also pretty peeved when he went to Chelsea, and was excited again when we were linked with him. Same though, I never thought he would achieve what he has done. Total club legend.
I'll always be a bit bummed out thinking that he could have carried on with us had he just been used more effectively had he been accommodated by a better manager, but hey ho.
Onwards, upwards and blessed to have watched him smash up the Prem for the last decade.
27 Mar 2026 18:51:43
Remember seeing him at Basel absolutely destroying some of the best defenders in European football, his pace was electric. I'm sad to see him go, but he's leaving on good terms and he's given his best years to the club. Deserves nothing but respect for his contribution and brilliance.
27 Mar 2026 18:51:59
Mourinho literally signed Salah to stop us from signing him.
27 Mar 2026 20:46:08
TSK, you're 100% right. He was signed to stop us getting him. They also did same with Debruner. Stop United getting him. But that's Josey all over and Chelsea.
27 Mar 2026 21:43:45
From memory we offered around £4 million for Salah when his club wanted £12 million. Ed002 called it a low ball offer and Salah. Nothing to do with Mourinho and everything to do with Liverpool taking the p.
27 Mar 2026 14:47:28
Anyone else catch Jurgens' interview with the Anfield Wrap? Interesting regards Salah. A question for the older supporters, though. Jurgen had this aura about him, a natural leader who you'd fight to impress and perform for. Was it similar to Shanks?
Agree2Disagree0
27 Mar 2026 15:05:41
Shanks was of the age of great managers, KP
Revie, Busby, Bill Nicholson, Joe Mercer & I think Everton had a decent bloke in charge back then!
They all had the ability to get great players to perform and lesser players to play above themselves and Klopp falls into that bracket probably more than any modern day managers I can think of - I suppose Fergie comes close.
Jose & Pep, although great managers, are a bit different imo in that they seem very rigid and almost it's my way or the highway, but they've all had the aura about them.
27 Mar 2026 16:40:16
I could listen to Jurgen talking all day and not just about football. He has that ability to captivate an audience, with people just waiting on his every word. Shankly seemed to have that as well from bits u would see on old footage of him talking.
V few people have that ability, Johan Cruyff would be another.
27 Mar 2026 17:23:55
Shoulda gone to Trivargo, Digger.
27 Mar 2026 19:20:08
Fergie didn't motivate his players, he motivated the refs instead.
27 Mar 2026 19:29:18
Show Sir Ribenaberry Whiskybaby some respect!
27 Mar 2026 20:55:25
Shankly and Klopp were very similar. There really is not a lot between them both.
When Shanks spoke, everybody listened. He did not make millions of pounds like Klopp, but to us Shanks was worth billions.
He could walk on water. He was the foundation of Liverpool FC.
Klopp was like a reincarnation of Shanks. We lost belief, but Klopp gave it back to us in bucket loads and took us to another level. YNWA.
27 Mar 2026 13:11:02
Just watched Diomande highlights on YouTube. He looks so exciting. If we can do a deal for him at the right price, I will be so happy to see him as a Salah replacement. Brings genuine pace and skill. Also, seems to prefer to play on the right despite being right footed (very two-footed though). Having a right footed player on the right will also suit Isak and Ekitike more in terms of crosses, I believe.
Moreover, he is a Liverpool fan and I want us to go back to the model of buying players with elite potential that turn into superstars instead of buying the finished products already. Should also be much cheaper than Olise, and hopefully we can invest that money to buy a combative passing profile for midfield. A Joao Gomes type player would be ideal in my opinion.
Agree6Disagree0
27 Mar 2026 14:31:11
He's exactly who we need but wanted by all top clubs. We have to get Champions League and the pull of Alonso if he is to be in charge.
27 Mar 2026 14:39:38
Well, he is apparently a huge Liverpool fan too, Keegans.
27 Mar 2026 15:20:15
Patrik, I think he kinda denied the rumours regarding him being a Liverpool supporter and explained it's more so that his father is a huge supporter.
27 Mar 2026 13:07:08
I’m going to say it... I’m really disappointed and underwhelmed with Wirtz.
That’s not to say that I don’t think it will come good for him; I think we’ve seen enough from him to know he’s a footballer of real quality but nobody is going to convince me that when paying a transfer fee of that amount, we should expect anything other than an absolute top-level player who dictates, changes and wins matches for the team on a regular basis and is the stand out player more often than not. He is the ninth most expensive footballer anywhere ever. I know the player doesn’t set the price, but the price does set our expectation and for that amount of money I expected more in his first season (even allowing for a couple of minor injuries).
Mitigating factors include the abysmal performances of some of the players around him and the fact that collectively the team has been poor and the manager is evidently struggling but, again, for £116m I am expecting a player who stands out regardless of what is going on around him, a player so good that you could put him in any team anywhere in the world and he would still raise the standards of the team.
Looking forward to seeing more from him next season. By the way, his finishing is either technically flawed or lacks composure – quite a few very good chances he’s missed this season.
More generally, we came into this season having just signed the third and ninth most expensive footballers in the world, ever. Isak obviously unlucky with the injury but had struggled for lift off prior to that. Whilst this seems like (and is) a negative post, the positive is that next season we’ll actually get to see Isak and Wirtz together, fit and with a full pre-season, possibly with a new manager who has a better instinct for how to get the best out of them.
Agree5Disagree0
27 Mar 2026 14:35:42
The problem is the other players aren't on his wavelength.
27 Mar 2026 14:46:28
We can't progress the ball to him from defence and through midfield, so he is having to come and fetch it himself. That is not the best use of Florian Wirtz.
After that, we don't have enough players who want to run in behind.
Again, that weakens Wirtz's options.
Add a CB or RB that can progress the ball quicker, a midfielder that can progress the ball quicker, and a winger or two that want to run in behind, and Wirtz will thrive.
27 Mar 2026 14:48:37
RR, I'm disappointed for him tbh not in him.
He's shown more than enough to show in the right set up with the right man management, he's going to be a great player -
I think he thought he was coming into a championship winning team with a bit of swagger and flair, but we all know what happened there.
27 Mar 2026 14:56:38
At Leverkusen, all the pieces were in place for him to excel, Xhaka provided him with a safety net, Grimaldo and Frimpong worked in tandem with him seamlessly when he drifted to either side, and the two center forwards (who were willing pressers and incredibly hard working off the ball) knew instinctively where he would be and would make the runs he could pick out or rotate with him when he took up positions further forward.
At Liverpool, the full backs have either been injured, rotated or not given a consistent role from game to game. We also aren't playing in a way where our forwards are consistently trying to get in behind the defense. Wirtz, meanwhile, can play a free role and look excellent roaming in one half, and then be instructed to stay on the left wing the next half. Nothing is stable from game to game and sometimes from half to half, and the consequence is his performances look inconsistent from game to game.
As for expectations, he is not the kind of player who can change the fortunes of a club on his own, he's not like a Suarez or a Gerrard in that regard. But given the right environment and with all the pieces around him, he connects everything in the final third and speeds up the play by seeing/attempting passes that few others would.
I do wish he would dribble more with us, it was one of his primary qualities at Leverkusen, taking his man on and then causing the defense to collapse by drawing them on to him, following which he would release it to a forward running towards goal. We've seen that sometimes and Ekitike has been the beneficiary, but not enough. He has an excellent shot from range, too, but we've barely seen that at all in the Premier League yet.
27 Mar 2026 15:25:29
He has certainly had mixed performances. There is plenty to come from him. Quite shocked at the amount of times he has found himself in front of goal and produced an effort like when you try and strike the ball dreaming in bed.
27 Mar 2026 16:16:08
Beef, funny comment that! Glad it's not only me that happens to!
OP, only Szobo can look back and say he's had a consistent season at a high level. Wirtz has shown plenty of amazing moments, but often for me, the players around him are not on the same wavelength as Gmil pointed out.
That is the sort of stuff that's honed on the training pitch.
We seem to have the occasional performance in us, but it's usually a one-off game before 5-6 games of poor to mediocre to abysmal. That's not because of Wirtz.
27 Mar 2026 16:53:21
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. Wirtz has been shocking like everybody else.
I'd point at the manager though who can't get a tune out of any of them for a prolonged period of time.
27 Mar 2026 17:02:39
First season, too soon to judge. I can think of plenty of top top players who didn't set the world alight in their first season after a big move. He went from being the main man at Leverkusen playing in a system that was ideal for his style with players who constantly looked to play through him and a manager who knew how to get the best out of him to just another number under a lot of scrutiny for us, in a wretched and inconsistent set up that clearly doesn't play to his strengths with a manager who couldn't get a tune out of a brass band.
His confidence was shot for a lot of the season due to his slow start which seems to affect him big time, and of course Slot isn't exactly the type of guy you want to be getting pep talks from, so I think we'll see a big step up in performance from Wirtz so long as the Summer goes as expected. If Xabi comes in he'll most certainly get the best out of him.
27 Mar 2026 17:51:04
If Alonso comes he'll get the best out of him like he did at Leverkusen. No concerns here, the lads not been great, but neither has anybody else because of the bullsh*t way we've been playing. Get Slot out and we'll see a massive change.
27 Mar 2026 18:17:53
Salah, mate, I couldn't agree more. Get Alonso in, please, God, and we will all see a totally different Wirtz and Ping Pong lads.
27 Mar 2026 18:36:40
He's been weak and slow of mind.
I think that will improve next season.
27 Mar 2026 21:02:33
Wirtz is carrying a massive fee on his shoulders and he is only a young lad.
I watched Wirtz a lot before he signed for us. He is an exceptional footballer, he needs to bed in to club, new country, environment, new language (Scouse), new home.
I think next season we will see the best of him.
YNWA.
