Liverpool rumours 6

04 Jun 2026 10:56:52
Can Carra, Robbo, the Fields confirm what’s going on with Diomande, reading a lot now he prefers PSG and it’s not looking good for us. I know they went out on a limb and said it’s done to Liverpool but since this has all come out are we still confident???

04 Jun 2026 11:11:36
What I have read, according to Fabrizio Romano, is that Liverpool could sign Yan Diomande next week as the RB Leipzig winger wants to sort his future before the World Cup.

04 Jun 2026 11:13:53
They have all come out and said what they know about Diomande - that he'd sign for us. Or at least Robbo and Carra have. Whether he does or not is another matter.

04 Jun 2026 11:14:29
Florian Plettenberg is saying Diomande hasn't given commitment to anyone yet but says we're pushing hard to get a deal done before the World Cup.

04 Jun 2026 11:15:53
Briefly.

Magnes Akilouche is in advanced talks with PSG.

Campos originally baulked at the costs associated for Diomande and turned to other options, leaving the door open for Liverpool to get a deal done.

Agency disputes and image right issues are a couple of the complexities in this transfer.



Not a straightforward deal.

If PSG decide to enter the race, they will cut the cord on Akilouche, and it could likely see one of Barcola or Mbaye leave.

I still believe Liverpool can and will conclude the transfer. We are working very hard on it and have been for some time.

Ta.

04 Jun 2026 11:23:11
Cheers, Carra.

04 Jun 2026 11:23:41
Tanks, Carra
Where you say "we are working very hard on it" it seems you might actually work for the club? :)

04 Jun 2026 11:27:49
Thanks so much, Carra. Love the detailed info.

04 Jun 2026 11:27:55
Getting hard on it, LFC aint the only one getting hard on this one!

04 Jun 2026 11:29:17
Thanks, Carra... Hopefully we can get this one over the line.

04 Jun 2026 11:38:59
Cheers, Cara.

04 Jun 2026 11:42:49
RD, I use We when referring to the club, as in 'We were in a mess at all levels of the club during last season.' I use it due to a feeling of belonging, 'we' are the club, the players, the fans.

04 Jun 2026 11:51:27
Thanks for the information, Cara.

Is PSG targeting Magnes Aquiluce?

Is Liverpool targeting Diomande?

Or are both Liverpool and PSG targeting Diomande and Magnes Aquiluce?

04 Jun 2026 11:52:46
I've just read his comments on how his dad supports PSG. His dad must support a few clubs, as he said a few months back that his dad supported us.

04 Jun 2026 11:55:51
Thanks for jumping in to give us all a bit more context, Carra.

It's very easy for lots on here to see something on Twitter (X) and instantly need to come on here for re-assurances!

04 Jun 2026 11:57:59
Nice one, Carra.

04 Jun 2026 12:18:29
Wish we'd of signed Semionyo, that would of put an end to all this filthy minded inuendo.

04 Jun 2026 12:24:35
If the mooted fee is correct (120mil) and he's playing us off against PSG, then we should look elsewhere. That amount of money is ridiculous for someone that has never kicked a ball in the Prem, and at that age.

We should be using the money to sign Anderson instead. I can't believe we're not all over that, as he's exactly the sort of player we need in that midfield.

04 Jun 2026 12:25:53
Calm down, Lofty, was in jest as in the smiley face.
Maybe he does work for the club, who knows? Certainly not you, that's for sure.

04 Jun 2026 12:58:50
RD, I've never tried to find out where our ITKs get their sources from, so not sure why you think I'm claiming I know anything, so the passive aggressive end to your reply is pretty much wasted text.

04 Jun 2026 13:09:03
Not really, as I said, no one knows.

04 Jun 2026 13:19:07
From my end. Rumours in Germany point to PSG, but people close to RBL say we are actively negotiating, not PSG. At this moment we are in the driving seat, but, as Carra said above, it's not an easy deal to make.

04 Jun 2026 13:20:07
To be fair, I was a PSG fan last weekend.

04 Jun 2026 13:23:28
I don't really like Diamonde. Reminds me of Gervinho.

04 Jun 2026 13:35:49
I've a feeling it'll be PSG in which case we'll have Akilouche. 😁

04 Jun 2026 13:37:06
Thanks, Carra...

04 Jun 2026 13:37:44
Thanks, Carra & Thefields. This site is lucky to have your insider knowledge shared.

04 Jun 2026 14:13:13
Cafu, does he remind you of Gervinho because he's from Ivory Coast and is a winger? Seems like a really lazy comparison.

With the ball he actually reminds me more of Daniel Sturridge in terms of how he moves the ball at pace whilst keeping his head up, but also how he shifts the ball to one side and hits it early with no back lift. Like Sturridge, he tends to beat players with chops and fast change of direction rather than fancy flicks or tricks. Another thing he has in common is how he tends to finish with a firm side foot rather than putting his laces through the ball like Gerrard/Szoboszlai mainly did, or bending a shot in like Salah/Suarez mainly did.

Diomande even scored a couple this season where he just hammered a loose ball into the roof of the net, which was another trademark of Sturridge's. I know that might be a strange comparison as Diomande is a winger and Sturridge was a striker, but in possession they just look very similar to me.

Without the ball, Diomande is more like Luis Diaz though, in that, as soon as the ball is lost, he's off hunting to win it back. He'll scrap for possession if he has to and he'll press like he has a 3rd lung.

The guy's a top talent. If it's between him or Barcola, I'd prefer Barcola, but only because Barcola is more battle hardened in the Champions League. Ideally, I want both!

04 Jun 2026 14:30:34
Cafu, based around your posts over the last 48 hours, is there anything the club are planning to do that you do like?

04 Jun 2026 16:16:53
It's Harry, lofty, he only comes here to criticise the club because he doesn't get the bites on the Man City board.

04 Jun 2026 16:51:31
Diomande over Barcola any day of the week for me, MK. Barcola gives me overhyped vibes that if he wasn't a PSG player, no one would be talking much about him.

04 Jun 2026 17:24:07
Zed, Oh no you didn't?

03 Jun 2026 23:53:56
Iraola will be Friday morning I’m told by my neighbour (works for the club).
PC set up for late morning.
Look forward to seeing the interview here in the KSA. 😍
Welcome Andoni Iraola and Family.
The city will look after you.

04 Jun 2026 02:18:34
My neighbour accused me of stealing his wife's undies off the washing line. He was so aggressive I nearly crapped her knickers. I'll get my coat.

{Ed078's Note - you here all week?

04 Jun 2026 03:54:37
You would have thought they could have set up the laptop a bit quicker than that....

In the spirit of pestering the ITKs, will the club also be announcing the signing of 3 midfielders, a RB, a LW and a RW when they have the PC set up?

04 Jun 2026 04:55:36
Not immediately WDW, they have to reinstall Windows 11 first.

04 Jun 2026 06:54:44
Fax machine is also in for repairs.

04 Jun 2026 07:57:37
Bobby, don't get your coat... get your neighbour's wife's coat.

04 Jun 2026 05:19:33
I certainly am ed078. Try the veal.

{Ed078's Note - hah. Glad you got it. My J.OB's favourite line.

04 Jun 2026 09:48:34
I'd be upset if "Bobby Banana" stole my wife's undies.

04 Jun 2026 10:27:19
Cheers, Hughesy. Sky reckons today, but splitting hairs here, ha.

04 Jun 2026 10:42:15
Hopefully he doesn't fail his medical...

04 Jun 2026 11:00:41
Be kind, I don't mind when it is, to be honest, just passing on what he said to my boy at home.
Can't wait for him to get started.

04 Jun 2026 11:10:10
Fully agree, pal, be nice to have attacking pressing football back.

03 Jun 2026 23:30:56
Diomande showing big love for PSG now!!!
Let this one go, I will have some of that Rayan kid me from Bournemouth.

04 Jun 2026 03:09:09
Apparently, I've just looked into it and Rayan has an 87m buyout at Bournemouth. Turned us down Togo to Bournemouth. Maybe would come if first choice and Iraola connection.

04 Jun 2026 06:17:10
I can see him joining the Reds, KP.

04 Jun 2026 08:23:13
I am confused. A few months back, his dad was a Liverpool fan, now he is a PSG fan. He's taking us all for a ride lmao.

04 Jun 2026 08:36:09
Is his dad Robbie Keane by any chance?

04 Jun 2026 09:18:19
I think Caicedo may be his dad, actually.

04 Jun 2026 10:31:04
I think Rayans release clause kicks in in 2027. I'd be reserving a spot for him if I were Hughes/Iroala.

04 Jun 2026 12:15:45
Big Love makes me think of House when he had the competition to recruit his new team.

May just be me though....

04 Jun 2026 12:16:16
We would be foolish to pay 87M for Rayan.

03 Jun 2026 20:26:18
Evening chaps, I've seen on social media a few times that Szoboszlai is refusing to sign a new deal. Does anyone know if there is any truth in this? Thanks.

03 Jun 2026 21:18:33
Read a few bits to pal saying negotiations were ongoing, not heard he had refused tbh.

03 Jun 2026 21:33:41
Another Midfield rebuild?

03 Jun 2026 21:33:47
Need to sell if that's the case.

03 Jun 2026 22:22:22
Have we all seen the outfit he wore to international duty? Might be time to let him go. 😄

03 Jun 2026 22:30:59
Sell. Easily replaced.

03 Jun 2026 22:40:04
Not seen a lot, but is Scott a similar player type?

03 Jun 2026 23:00:14
Best player during the most disappointing, depressing season I've ever fallen asleep to, and he's shrugging the fans like he's prime Souness.

Title-winning season, he's too shy to celebrate in front of the Kop with the trophy coz he feels like an imposter and didn't contribute much.

He can jog on for me. Closer to Naby Keita than Steven Gerrard.

03 Jun 2026 23:27:23
I think the club needs to evaluate it properly with the full information.

We need to stop players going on a free, but at the same time Szobo is one of our best players.

They need to try and tie him down.

There is a lot of jumping to conclusions here on what Szobo is thinking and doing. Let's hope the club and him are working on it.

03 Jun 2026 23:34:23
Sorry Davey, Szoboszlai is easily replaced. If he is dithering, then don't hesitate, make it clear he either signs, he leaves or he's bench fodder.

03 Jun 2026 23:34:31
"Refusing to sign" is that what they used to call 'negotiating'?

Is there a meeting every few days when the 'fans' pick a name out of a hat and start vilifying the player? We have Konate, then we have Gakpo, then we have Dom.

Take the gossip as factual truth and belittle the players' abilities and character and make crass statements like 'Sell.

Easily replaced' just like it's a computer game. If and when the player goes let's move onto the next target. Easy eh?

Thing is we're likely to end up with nobody wanting to play for us and we'll end up with the squad that we actually deserve rather than the squad we think we deserve.

04 Jun 2026 00:00:51
He is very easily replaceable, WDW. He's nothing special. He's just a transient employee and nothing more. If he's not committed, then his choice should be limited to either being transferred or accepting a reduced role in the team while someone who is committed makes a valid contribution.

04 Jun 2026 00:28:19
I got called for everything for saying he's not that good earlier in the season. I stand by it. He's a show pony.

04 Jun 2026 00:36:24
I like Szob, good player and certainly a starter, but he's not indispensable. As per my other post on the subject of being ruthless, if he doesn't resign with 2 years left we should put him on the market. Hope he stays though, be well suited to Ireola's system, I think.

04 Jun 2026 00:59:12
Wdw, Gakpo and Konate have been absolutely rubbish all season. Any criticism is well deserved.

Vik, with all due respect, mate, claiming Szoboszlai is easily replaced is pure waffle. He's in his prime, at 25, he's had 3 seasons honing his skills in the Prem, he's won a title, his quality is unquestionable, he's exceptionally dynamic, his work rate is immense and his engine is second to none.

Not to mention he arguably holds 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for free kick of the season. He cost just £60m but is now worth double. How exactly do you plan to 'easily replace' that?

04 Jun 2026 01:00:49
In common with all our current midfielders, when the going gets tough, he goes missing. He would not be missed.

04 Jun 2026 01:44:08
Chewy, Szobo is easily bypassed defensively, is weak in the tackle, slows our counters and has become his own biggest fan. Not saying get rid, but if he's another looking to run down his last two years, then do all we can to get rid. We've lost far better players and prospered. Borderline show pony for me.

04 Jun 2026 02:57:17
He's not a defensive midfielder, it's not what he was brought in to do, but for somebody who's 'weak in the tackle' he somehow managed to play better at RB than our 2 RB's. Anyway, I'm not here to debate Dom's weak points, all players have them, my point is that he's not easily replaceable.

Who can we go out tomorrow and purchase easily for £60m? Who brings Dom's experience, quality, work rate and stamina to the team?

04 Jun 2026 03:57:03
All mids at some point have to put their boot in and make a tackle. We just happen to have 3 who are not very good at it (Grav Mac Dom). Several times this last season, Dom either lost a 50-50, gave away the ball cheaply or was fannying about trying fancy flicks (Bournemouth first game of season), leading to goals or chances.



If he wants to stay, great, sign. If not, wouldn't shed a tear if we get something for him. Teams like Bournemouth, Brentford, Palace, Brighton seem to find plenty of quality at bargain basement prices. Why can't we?

04 Jun 2026 04:51:20
Szobo has been played at RB for some of the season. He still chipped in with goals and assists. He was one of the best players last season (title-winning one).

If we are offering him anything less than 200k pw, then he has a right to be aggrieved when the likes of Gakpo are on much more. Szobo is currently on 120k a week.

04 Jun 2026 06:03:43
U get paid what you're worth. If he's on 120, then that's what him, his agent and the club thought he was worth at the time. Mo has been arguably the greatest ever PL player and he's on 400, or was. Virgil one of the best in the world in his pomp. The club broke the wage structure for both.

If they decide Szoboslai is worth over 300 a week, (that's the number I've read), so be it. But if they don't, then they will either compromise, be sold for a fee at some point, or leave on a free in 2 years. The club haven't helped themselves giving average players like Gakpo and Gravy KDB money.

04 Jun 2026 06:10:52
Szoboslai 13 GAs last season. Gerrard averaged 20. Bernardo Silva same, KDB 23-28 or so. Szoboslai giving the fans grief for not accepting garbage performances. Don't care if he stays or goes.

04 Jun 2026 06:33:33
13 goals and 12 assists from CM and RB this season is easily replaced. 🙄

And then people have the temerity to be outraged when people serve their full contract and move on.

"You're easily replaced but don't you dare leave us on your own terms."

04 Jun 2026 07:29:34
Any player that has a go at the fans after they've paid hard earned money to travel needs to give their head a wobble. He stood out because everyone else was dire. If he doesn't sign, then it looks like another winding down of the contract situation, in which case we need to cash in.

04 Jun 2026 04:04:21
@Chewy, I have absolutely no problem with constructive criticism of a player's playing ability. The dross that is now the norm on here when 'criticising' a player is increasingly unacceptable, in my opinion. Of course, nothing will change, the genie is out of the bottle, but, purely as an example and in no way to be taken as what I really think . if I said, "I think your opinions are usually stupid and not thought out and you really should try and get a life", I would expect you to be upset and to tell me that I am wrong, in whatever way you think is most appropriate. And that would be fair enough.

The trouble with the 'criticism on here is that it is hardly ever constructive, let alone factual and the people being vilified don't have the right of reply.

04 Jun 2026 08:18:42
I repeat, Barry, 13 goals and 12 assists from CM and RB. This is why he stood out. That is an unbelievable season.

Szobo has all the qualities to be a monster in Iraola's system.

Joni Mitchell said "don't it always seem to go and you don't what you got till it's gone".



There's a reasonable population on here yearning for Nunez to come back for god sake.

Szobo acted poorly in a moment of high emotion/frustration.

People aren't allowed mistakes ever when it comes to footballers. What he did isn't even remotely unforgivable.

04 Jun 2026 08:40:34
If Szoboszlai isn't good enough and easily replaceable, I'm not sure what sorts of standards we have on here. Can he improve with decisions he makes on and off the pitch? Obviously, he can, he has a lot of room to get better.

But the fact that he has improved steadily year on year, on and off the ball, suggests that he will continue to reach new heights. Sometimes I wonder why we have so little appreciation for our own players.

{Ed078's Note - agreed. Remind me, which of our players was better than him over the entirety of the season?

04 Jun 2026 09:04:38
"Easily replaceable". 😂🤣😂. By whom?

I guess it's "let's s*** on Szoboszlai's head" this week.

04 Jun 2026 09:09:09
It's like some people have completely forgotten the season that just ended 2 weeks ago.

All the players took a dip in form.
Some worse than others.
Wonder what the common denominator was?

Meanwhile Szobo held some kinda performance standards together.

04 Jun 2026 09:09:38
The Szoboszlai bashing above makes me wonder if I've woken up in a parallel universe.

04 Jun 2026 09:12:37
He was our best player last season and the only one who seems to have from the outset the fitness and energy to play in an Iraola midfield. He's a must keep for me. Works his socks off, can play multiple positions, and chips in with valuable goals and assists.

04 Jun 2026 09:41:59
He's a really good player who's probably now demanding parity with the top earners in European football. I wouldn't vilify him for that, but I guess we have a decision to make before he gets into the last two years of his contract.

Can we afford what he wants, if not, what's the best time to sell and will someone pay what we want.

Increasingly with all of these players we're having to let them go on frees as their wage demands are so high the buying club can't afford to or won't pay a transfer.

04 Jun 2026 09:48:34
I don't think any player is worth keeping if they are unsure of staying ..Not sure who said it on here bfr but saying refusing to sign is negotiating..In a way that's right but it's most probably negotiating with another club ..like Trent n Konate did, also ppl think we shouldn't treat players like employees, if they don't sign then you make sure they realise they won't play in any meaningful game, they sign or leave, or will be seeing a lot of the bench, stands or Carabao Cup with the kids.

Why let players hold us over a barrel.

04 Jun 2026 10:06:41
The issues we got right now is that the suits have been stupid with giving out silly money.

If I was the best player on the pitch from an effort/work rate point of view, and also solid performance-wise (his goals and assists are nothing to sniff at), I would also want similar wages to the ridiculous amount Grav and Gakpo are on (250k+). It's part of negotiating, and Hughes is the one that has us in this position.

I also read the other day from a Wenger interview that this will start to happen more and more with top players on silly money.

Other teams won't be able to afford 50-100m fees + 300k+ per week wages. He was saying he expects a lot of top players on big wages will have to run their contracts down or go for a smaller fee in their last year of contract for another team to be able to afford the silly wages. He's probably right, and it's what football is now with the stupid money thrown at players.

04 Jun 2026 11:35:39
Get him on a long contract at 170k a week, and be done with it for 4 years.

04 Jun 2026 13:35:47
What we don't need is another season of huge churn in the squad. We should be focusing on bringing in players to strengthen the squad. 7 in 9 out was too many last season. 4-5 in before sanctioning any departures should be the minimum.

Everyone in the squad is technically replacable, some are far harder to replace than others.

I'd hope Iraola gets to assess the full squad. That's why Slot's first season worked: minimal squad disruption. However, last season's business left us unbalanced, so we need to bring in more bodies to redress the balance.

We're likely to need until January for Iraola to find the best set of players to play his way, so patience is also required.

04 Jun 2026 16:34:26
I understand where you're coming from, WDW, and I agree some people go too far with their 'criticism'. I'm well up for the banter and a little too direct at times, certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but I don't support abusive behaviour. At the same time, and with all due respect, I think you may have your standards for what you expect from 'gen pop' set a little too high, after all, we are football fans, not management consultants.

I'm not making excuses for anybody, but I do, and always have expected a certain amount of unwanted behaviour; it's not ideal, but it's an unfortunate reality. Nowadays, with the (de)evolution of social media, people are operating on a hair trigger, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't guilty of it myself at times.

03 Jun 2026 19:48:02
Evening Gents.

Random name for you, Kennet Eichhorn.

Hertha Berlin defensive midfielder.

Keep an eye on this one, heard a little information on him.

Only a kid but highly rated.

Has the interest of Liverpool.

Cheers.

03 Jun 2026 20:11:35
He has turned down Bayern already.

It's between us and City, I have heard, are the closest, we originally stepped away, but now are trying to get a deal done. Marques is playing a big part in a ton of these youth player deals, as is Julian Ward.



For what it's worth, he is viewed as the crown jewel of the players coming through in Germany.

Ken.

03 Jun 2026 20:14:33
Yes, I believe this was reported on at the This Is Anfield site a week or two ago. Quite the rising star.
It would be exciting to see both him and Luca Eden in tandem at Liverpool.

03 Jun 2026 20:16:38
Yep, someone threw that name out last week, Robbo. Another kiddo for the academy looks good but raw.

03 Jun 2026 20:18:21
Was spoken about on here the other week. German media say the total package is EUR20m, with EUR10m being paid to the player/agent, due to that being his worth. Can see us signing him then loaning to Leipzig for a season or two, as part of the Diomande deal.

03 Jun 2026 20:42:43
Yeah, the loan to RBL was mooted earlier today.

Would make sense as someone said that, post Brexit, a European can only join us at 18, so a 2 year loan in Germany makes sense.

03 Jun 2026 20:52:48
As Ed002 would say, use the search function *wink* : )

03 Jun 2026 21:06:56
Using him and Elliot as leverage for the Diamonde deal would be smart.

03 Jun 2026 21:17:32
I still am not 100% sure, but I thought you cannot register an overseas player under 18 if you are a UK team, so therefore he is never yours to loan.

The best you can do is a verbal agreement, and the player remains at his existing club until he reaches 18. This, of course, removes the idea of loaning him to RBL or anyone else.

03 Jun 2026 21:31:18
Thanks for posting Robbo.

03 Jun 2026 21:32:41
Love it. Translates as Ken Squirrel, which sounds like someone from a cigarette card.

03 Jun 2026 21:34:48
Think you're right, reeps, unless he turns 18 shortly, maybe.

03 Jun 2026 21:35:48
He's literally just now changed to his dad being a PSG fan, who before was a Reds fan.
PSG edging it due to CL win and love bombing, not to mention a fat wage.

03 Jun 2026 21:51:39
BeKind, he turns 18 in July 2027.

Everything I search indicates I am correct, and this rumour is false as it cannot happen.

03 Jun 2026 22:48:00
Unless it's an agreement to buy with Hertha next July when he turns 18, maybe?

I was wrong above, looks like threeps is right re us not buying now.

03 Jun 2026 23:14:06
That looks likely, Zed. Could be like Jaquet deal. Done, but finalised in the next window. Perhaps a player from us on loan to Hertha to sweeten the deal.

04 Jun 2026 09:04:24
To be honest, Zed, that's not a bad situation if he's already getting game time at Hertha. At RBL, he might not, as it's a level above in quality. Verbally agree to buy now and sign when 18 next July. But no chance of any loan sweetener.

04 Jun 2026 11:37:39
Not what we need atm. Angelo Stiller would be better.

04 Jun 2026 12:20:28
Phil, you're right, he's 16.

However, he could be someone we need in a few years, and at EUR20m we could be paying a fraction of what he could be worth in 3-4 years.

This is the sort of deal that many of the fanbase have been calling for - but then relatively cheap and unknown rather than having to spank £100m on every first teamer.



As an added advantage, if we can get him on his 18th birthday (next July) he may even end up qualifying as HG (and maybe CT, but not sure).

04 Jun 2026 13:32:27
I certainly don't mind buying for the future, but we definitely need a DM for the here and now. If we have the money to buy 2, then I am absolutely backing the purchase of young hungry player.

I just don't think we can wait 4 years. Particularly because I don't think DM is an easy role to play. I think it's up there with one of the hardest roles to play.

04 Jun 2026 13:54:11
And the winner of the Ballon d'Or 2030 is
Kenny Squirell. 😂

04 Jun 2026 17:50:20
If we're only getting him in 2027, I'd like to think we'd keep him for more than a couple seasons, Liver_La. Cos don't you have to play for Real Madrid to get a Ballon d'Or?

03 Jun 2026 18:41:07
Inter moving for Palestra once Dumfries signs for RM.

03 Jun 2026 18:50:26
According to what source, BeKind? Helps to know where the info is coming from. Thanks.

03 Jun 2026 19:25:17
We need to put a bid in too. If he chooses Inter, then so be it.

03 Jun 2026 19:27:09
They've already had a bid rejected as per Italian media. We know the fee asked is £43m. So pay it as cheaper than Kayode.

03 Jun 2026 19:36:02
I thought our target was Kayode as per FSW.

03 Jun 2026 20:05:41
Sorry, pal, yes Italian media reported it today.

03 Jun 2026 20:12:45
It's fair to say that we would look at a number of players for each position we are looking at bringing someone into. We might be interested in 3 or 4 RBs, for instance. Whilst cost is a factor, it wouldn't be the only factor - the right player at the right price - with the main factor probably being that the player is the right 'fit' for the position, and has the right character to fit into the group.

03 Jun 2026 20:18:19
Palestra looks the part, hopefully we can get him in and have a steady RB.

I do wish Bradley wasn't cursed, as he's brilliant when fit.

03 Jun 2026 20:37:35
This one comes from:

@FabrizioRomano 10:22 pm - 2 Jun 2026.

03 Jun 2026 21:21:06
Wrong, Chewy. It's on Yahoo Sports. Fabrizio posted about the price tag again. Not sure what your goal is.

This is a site for posting rumors, is it not?

03 Jun 2026 22:20:41
It is a rumour site, but if you're just copy & pasting, though, a source is appreciated.

04 Jun 2026 09:49:25
Give over chewy give it a rest don't like it scroll past stop being a troll

03 Jun 2026 18:39:18
Gakpo apparently handed in a transfer request according to reports in Dutch media.

03 Jun 2026 19:04:03
Bayern Munich maybe? They did well with the last left winger they bought from L4.

03 Jun 2026 19:25:49
Hard to know why he would do that.

03 Jun 2026 19:28:33
Be kind, you keep posting, but people ask you for a source, you never reply with actual information, not like Carra. The fields. Robbo. Vg. 🤔

03 Jun 2026 19:30:26
Can't see that information anywhere online. Bayern paid £63m for Diaz, who had one year left and was older than Gakpo, so would have to be £70m plus.

03 Jun 2026 19:36:48
Maybe he is just passing on social media rumours? Which is fine, given this is a rumours site?

03 Jun 2026 19:40:59
Fingers crossed it's true.

03 Jun 2026 19:43:05
They lost out on Gordan, didn't they, so maybe are switching to Gakpo.

03 Jun 2026 19:48:36
Would be a bit odd for him to do that, seeing as he is on decent money, new contract etc.

03 Jun 2026 19:49:52
Ron, he'd do it coz his dad's just been sacked, mate.

03 Jun 2026 19:49:58
Maybe Gakpo has read the Barcola and Diomande rumours on here and decided he's not up for the fight for his place. 🤔

03 Jun 2026 20:07:59
Pretty sure my post says in Dutch media grav ......

03 Jun 2026 20:10:59
Ps Grav, I dont and never have once claimed to be in anyway ITK unlike others.

Full rumour

Cody Gakpo has reportedly submitted a transfer request to leave Liverpool, with rumors indicating he instructed his representatives to secure a move away "at all costs" following a turbulent domestic campaign.

The situation surrounding the Dutch forward involves a few key details: The Rumors: Initial reports surfaced out of the Netherlands via Soccernews.

03 Jun 2026 20:24:53
Please let this be true.

03 Jun 2026 20:26:51
Maybe he doesn't fancy training hard 7 days a week.

03 Jun 2026 20:31:42
BeKind. My apologies.

03 Jun 2026 20:35:35
This rumour is from:

@AnfieldWatch 5:00 pm · 3 Jun 2026
·
Which quotes Soccernews dot nl as the source, who published a story at 10:31 this morning, citing "English sources" as their source. It was originally posted on X (Twitter) by:

@justenock 12:50 pm · 30 May 2026

whose bio literally reads as follows:

'Liverpool fan | Fake News You Cannot Trust | Source: Trust Me Bro'
·
I'm not even joking.

03 Jun 2026 20:49:34
I already posted it, Chewy, not sure what your goal is here??

Grav accepted, pal, onwards we move.

03 Jun 2026 21:01:52
I'm just citing the source, too many people on here just copy & pasting without citing sources, which causes confusion about who's actually claiming to be ITK.

03 Jun 2026 21:19:54
Good squad player, but on his wages we would be better cashing in on him.

£70m not to be sniffed at.

03 Jun 2026 21:21:56
Again, I do not and have never claimed to be ITK. It's a rumours site where rumours get posted.

03 Jun 2026 21:23:37
Ps, your attempt at being smart here was wrong, as you literally named the source as Sportsnews (where I read it), then some random page who copied it, and you waffled about that random page.

Suggest you give it a rest. Peace.

03 Jun 2026 21:37:41
Agree, Smb, for the high wage, im sure we could improve on his talent and have a lower wage.

Not sure what Bowen earns but he would tick a few boxes if hes on a lower wage and hes English etc. Obviously not young though.

03 Jun 2026 22:06:10
BeKind, Bowen would be an ideal replacement. Good squad player, albeit 29, but if we can get him relatively cheap, say 25 to 30m and on 100k a week, he could really do well for us.

Problem is the baron at Sausage Utd will look to rip us off on the price as usual.

03 Jun 2026 22:24:55
No, I didn't, I gave timestamps; clearly the X account that made the claim initially posted it 2 days prior to Sportsnews.

I'm not trying to be smart, only suggesting you cite your sources. Saves any confusion. Not sure why you have such an issue with it.

04 Jun 2026 09:50:47
I don't have to do anything to suit your needs, don't like it, move on. Simple.

03 Jun 2026 17:13:21
Afternoon Gents.

Following feom my earlier post regarding Diomande.

I've been told we are relaky close to this one happening.

Hopefully know more soon.

This will hapoen quick.

Cheers.

03 Jun 2026 18:00:43
Cheers Robbo, always appreciated.

Heard great things of this Relaky person. Apparently can play RB too!

03 Jun 2026 18:03:28
Sounds good, Robo.

03 Jun 2026 18:12:35
Robbo, so happy that even his/her autocorrect isn't working. 🤣🤣

03 Jun 2026 18:13:01
Robbo, just keep breaking the good news. You are a true bringer of good news.

03 Jun 2026 18:21:34
Brilliant news !

03 Jun 2026 18:26:26
Is Relaky any relation to Rokki?

03 Jun 2026 18:40:34
It's not a relationship.

03 Jun 2026 18:47:34
Robbo, I'm not saying that was posted from the pub, but the keyboard definitely ordered a second pint halfway through.

03 Jun 2026 18:50:57
More hissing cousins than kissing cousins, Rokki?

03 Jun 2026 19:19:28
Atrocious spellings on my behalf.

My phone has well and truly let me down.

{Ed025's Note - thats my bad Robbo, i should have edited it mate..sorry..

03 Jun 2026 19:22:11
I know Relaky plays for Fiorentina.
He's known as Purple Relaky.

03 Jun 2026 19:27:42
Behave, Rigsby, or Purple Relaky will get ya.

03 Jun 2026 19:35:31
These muscles are a curse sometimes, Bobby B. 💪

03 Jun 2026 19:48:37
Eh Robbo, a bad tool always blames his workmen...
We'll just have to work harder on deciphering your posts!

{Ed025's Note - im getting Alan Turing in to edit his next post Flash.. :)

03 Jun 2026 19:43:38
Don't worry ed25, it's not your fault, i have fat thumbs syndrome haha!

{Ed025's Note - it did get quite a few responses Robbo, its about time you got a bit of grief mate.. :)

03 Jun 2026 20:00:03
Very true, mate!

03 Jun 2026 20:56:54
In fairness we are merciless when it comes to someone misspelling. 😉

03 Jun 2026 21:12:43
Don't see this happening. He's made a statement tonight about his love for PSG and how they speak French and it would be easy to adapt. Gotta say this isn't happening in my opinion.

03 Jun 2026 21:13:36
"In fairness we are merciless when it comes to someone misspelling."

O know weir knot.

03 Jun 2026 21:24:08
This will be great news, Robbo, thanks as always pal.

03 Jun 2026 22:28:46
We're not that bad, BarryinLouth.
That centre half from Villa is far worse.
Mings the Merciless one.

03 Jun 2026 16:46:54
Don’t usually get much info but I’ve heard we might make a surprise move for Archie Gray - seen a couple of people online say the same so makes me think there might be something in it.

Big fan of Alex Scott and feel they are similar profiles - definitely a position we recruit for in summer either way.

03 Jun 2026 17:04:50
Does this come from LFCApproved on Twitter?

03 Jun 2026 17:31:36
Sounds like it, although Approved did sell his account a while back, so take it with a pinch of salt.

03 Jun 2026 18:01:31
No, actually, some replies / comments from couple of random supports who also regularly go to games. I had heard separately before seeing any of this though.

03 Jun 2026 18:14:38
I really can't see that one happening. Spurs won't let him go cheap, so would be paying vastly over his value.
So Big no from me for that one.

03 Jun 2026 18:27:02
Might have been an option if he was available more cheaply upon relegation, however, if the clickbait fee for Fernandes - £80m - is to be believed, even relegation doesn't guarantee lower transfer fees these days!

03 Jun 2026 19:16:09
Remember this time last year, Southampton were said to be holding firm for a £100m for Dibling? Think he ended up going for £42m to the Bitters.

{Ed025's Note - i think they meant £100 FM.. :)

03 Jun 2026 21:26:15
Strange one dibling isn't it ed25 doesn't get a game after big investment

Ps don't really rate gray but he is always played out of position in a poor spurs side.

{Ed025's Note - i think its more to do with our pragmatic manager than Dibblings ability...i hope so anyway..

03 Jun 2026 21:20:30
Ed's 25 hope you are in good health. My question is what has happened to Dibling really rated him can't understand why he is not a major player for Everton do you know why he has dropped down the pecking order?

{Ed025's Note - Moyes reckons he is not first team material apparently Ace, you have to ask yourself why did we pay £40m+for someone who is not prem ready if that is the case mate?, yet he cant get minutes but Dwight McNeil can???, he has not really been given a chance so we dont know what he offers yet, and im afraid thats Moyes all over, im not too bad health wise at the moment my old friend... thanks for asking..

04 Jun 2026 10:02:05
Ed25, didn't he have a full Premier League season with Spyhampton prior to signing? Seemed Premier ready to me, maybe has too much flair for Moyes.

{Ed025's Note - i think thats exactly the problem Lofty, Moyes likes players that run all day even if they are poor players mate and thats why players like McNeil and formerly Jack Harrison always got playing time, he does not trust players who are young like Harrison Armstrong Dibbling and Braiden Graham who has not even had a shout even though he scores for fun in the U21,s, he is so negative and always sets us up never to lose rather than win..
