Liverpool banter 6

Transfermarkt have put together 5 CB signings who could replace Konate.

Schlotterbeck - buyout is a good deal on a player in his prime. Left footed and can play lb if necessary. Would Virg move over to the right?

Van De Ven - Spurs may sell as buying CBS. Can play lb as well. Would be expensive and his injury record is bad.

Lacroix - has been fantastic for Palace but I suspect they will want a huge sum and we have put a big outlay in new CBS.



Finn Jeltsch - young 19yr old CB from Stuttgart. Has been scouted but we have many young ones already. Great talent.

Ordonoz - doing great for Ecuador and price could be good value. Can also cover RB.

For me it's Schlotterbeck or Ordonoz, with my preference being Schlotterbeck. Natural left footed leadership at the back. Virg moves over to the right.

19 Jun 2026 17:41:55
Ordonez is the more likely for me, KP backed up by Carra in his posts too.
I am keen on Palestra more than anything right now. RB is a huge priority for me.
Most will attack me for this, but Bradley is not going to be our answer, he is massively injury prone so early in his career, and I still don't think he is good enough for a first team starting place.


Frimpong is never a RB, full stop. I would sell.

19 Jun 2026 18:04:50
I was thinking that, Hughes. With Gomez able to play RB it could save us pennies. I'd be happy with both.

20 Jun 2026 04:13:59
I think we need a mature centre half. We have about 5 young could be's - Leoni, Jacquet and the 3 young centre backs we sorted out in the winter window. Someone in their early, preferably mid 20s, who has good experience in a top league wouldn't go amiss. The only 'senior' CBs that we have are Virg and Joe.

19 Jun 2026 15:27:18
Hopefully our negotiations team can conclude a deal for Bouaddi and the medical team assess him while Morocco are in Boston. I believe our team are out there at the moment so would make sense if we can get a deal done with Lille.

19 Jun 2026 16:07:33
Try to seal the real Lille deal.

19 Jun 2026 16:23:28
I'll check on that.

19 Jun 2026 17:03:30
Yes, do "monitor" the situation and get back to us.

19 Jun 2026 14:36:54
Hey ED01,

Opinion on Alex Scott. Would you consider his signing as someone that is of a priority? I'll be totally honest and I'm just YouTube educated when it comes to overall performances. Could you see a world where Dom, Alex and Flo operate as a midfield 3? Or would you accept you can't buy every talented midfielder, and go for a more established DM

{Ed001's Note - not at all a priority. He is not really what we are missing, though I do like him having sat and watched back through a bunch of Bournemouth games to look at him. I think he is too similar in type to Dom and needs a fighter alongside him, like he has at Bournemouth.}

19 Jun 2026 14:44:30
Unfortunately, I think you're right. Top man ED, appreciate your feedback pal.

{Ed001's Note - I think that is what we miss in general, a midfielder who gets stuck in.}

19 Jun 2026 15:08:50
Agree Ed we need a ball winning no nonsense willing to do that hard yards and dirty game when needed mid.

Someone not afraid to put the boot in and get in the face of the opposition when needed.

{Ed001's Note - very much so.}

19 Jun 2026 16:33:40
Break the bank and buy Elliott!

19 Jun 2026 17:38:11
How about Hendo back for a season or two?

19 Jun 2026 17:44:27
Buy Sadiki, groom McConnell.

19 Jun 2026 18:09:21
Jeez, Rola!!!! Hope that's not what Sadie's gets up to in his spare time mate.

19 Jun 2026 13:12:06
Palestra deal close with Inter. They are set to pay around 50 million euro. Online reports are saying so we can probably scratch that one off.

Unless we swoop in again.

19 Jun 2026 14:55:34
I think the Diomande deal is the biggest priority at the moment. Once that is done, we will look at others, imo. We have already spent £89m on Jaquet and Munoz. Add in Diomande, and that's nearly 200m already.

19 Jun 2026 17:45:19
Right back is the next biggest priority.
Gravenberch will be the DM this coming season.

19 Jun 2026 12:09:45
Munoz has picked up an injury apparently.
Welcome to LFC lol.

19 Jun 2026 13:17:23
He was injured before the WC. He has just had a slight setback in his recovery.

19 Jun 2026 12:22:55
Ed1 - will be get any fees for Salah or he has been allowed to go for free

{Ed001's Note - free.}

19 Jun 2026 12:54:37
Guys, all comments are encouraged and appreciated as contributing to the good community on here, but that specific question has been answered about 45 different times. Also, a (very) quick search will answer that question.

19 Jun 2026 14:00:49
To be fair 45 probably isn't the worst. Still, it must drive you mad all the same. 🤣

19 Jun 2026 11:42:13
Reading that RB want significantly more than the 100 million offered for Diomande.
In my mind he isn't worth this much. One season of top flight football isn't enough experience. Look at what happened with Jadon Sancho for example.

19 Jun 2026 12:06:51
Don't worry about the finance, Snoots.

19 Jun 2026 12:29:54
Worry about how Farteta and his boomers will cope with our new blistering attacking football and possession type playing wink wink.

19 Jun 2026 13:01:39
Think it's a bit excessive, Naby looked class and look how that turned out.

19 Jun 2026 13:06:17
What could Diomande have been so lacking only a few years ago that made Bournemouth & Palace pass on him? There are smart people working there.

19 Jun 2026 13:11:16
To get Diomande, we're gonna have to pay big money. I'm sure FSG know what they're doing.
Hopefully, it won't be long before he's a Red.

19 Jun 2026 13:18:19
If true, I'd be pulling out all the stops to bring in Olise, let Yan and Leipzig sweat.

19 Jun 2026 13:25:17
Pretty sure he was a 15 year old when Palace and Bournemouth didn't take him after trials, but let's be honest you can't judge a player off childhood trials, albeit only being 4 years ago.

Looks good enough to me though, shame I have no qualifications for that to mean anything though haha!

19 Jun 2026 13:32:43
Am I on the only one who thinks Olise is overrated?

19 Jun 2026 13:49:38
Olise would command a wage several times that of Diomande's, so the total cost would be substantially higher. That's if you can even prise him away from Bayern in the first place. His work rate off the ball isn't anywhere near that of Diomande's, either.

19 Jun 2026 14:00:16
Throw the 100 mill at Darwin.

The lad's a world class presser, world class at creating space for others, and is apparently capable of scoring 35 goals a season.

Can Diomande or Olise offer that?

19 Jun 2026 14:04:08
FSW - What did Salah add to his game in Italy that was so lacking when he was at Chelsea?

19 Jun 2026 14:05:39
Why pick out the players that haven't done well? Sure, everyone can do that. 🤷‍♂️ If that's the case, let's just buy players from the Championship.

19 Jun 2026 14:12:44
Naby failed because of attitude/because he felt he had made it when he signed for us and no longer needed to try, ed002 warned us about it before he came here. He was clearly a top player in terms of skillset, he didn't fail because of lack of talent. Diomande looks like a ferociously hungry talent who wants to become the best in the world.

19 Jun 2026 14:43:58
@Fatwallet, what has Kieta got to do with Diomande?

19 Jun 2026 17:01:03
JK, you've missed the point entirely. It's the chaos that he brings with him that makes him so valuable. The other aspects you mentioned are just bonuses. I'm surprised. You're much sharper than this, normally.

19 Jun 2026 17:16:05
Wdw, signing a player from Red Bull for big bucks that showed great promise? We got burned with Naby.

19 Jun 2026 17:20:30
My apologies, Aray. Since becoming a plastic over a greatest fan in the world, I'm dropping the ball more.

20 Jun 2026 04:19:54
@FW, A completely different player a decade ago. Making random comparisons to support your opinion is meaningless.

19 Jun 2026 11:29:53
Just want to say it's nice to see the ITKs posting a little more these days and being shown some respect.

After the Slot debacle I wouldn't blame them for ever wanting to post again despite being correct, the vile abuse they received was at times unhinged.



Let's look forward to a good transfer window and some positivity with the new manager.

I'm actually excited to see how things go next season!

19 Jun 2026 12:07:20
Couldn't agree more.

19 Jun 2026 12:09:15
I've said it before. It's like a pendulum on here. The lows are extreme and beyond just abusive; catastrophic and tragic even, sometimes. And the highs are so euphoric that you wonder if we've all gone to heaven. 😂

19 Jun 2026 12:24:21
Story of my life. 😆

19 Jun 2026 13:02:27
Well said.

19 Jun 2026 11:10:09
Diomande
Munoz
Rio
Gakpo
Chiesa
Abe (few sub appearances)

Morrisons gets a loan, I feel.

Is that enough? Could go for another winger if Gakpo is sold.

19 Jun 2026 11:39:59
Wirtz can cover LW (plus Ekitike hopefully towards the back end of the season), Szobo can cover RW, as can Elliot.

I would say it is more than enough cover unless we are gonna sell a couple.

19 Jun 2026 12:00:48
I don't think Abe will get much if any time this season, more so next season. He doesn't turn 16 until next month, so I would be surprised if he gets any minutes at all.

19 Jun 2026 13:06:28
Zed, I had read, can't remember where, that he has been promised 15 appearances this season. Abit like Dowman at Arsenal.

19 Jun 2026 13:16:14
Chiesa and Gakpo will go this summer so we're probably looking at three wide attacking players in the match day squad, four if Frimpong is still around.

19 Jun 2026 13:21:37
Really? Wow!

I guess we'll see.
