Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 24/25 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

Err, about 63% of our revenue goes to wages. That leaves 37% to cover the cost of running the club day to day and other items, including transfers. Add in we have had 2 new stands built, sold and bought Melwood back as a training facility for the womens team and upgraded our training facility for the mens teams in Kirby.

Our wage to turnover ratio is less than the average for the Premier League as well. And finally, getting to what this seems to be about, transfers. Which LB is available right now for an affordable price that will fit into our team? And don't give me Championship Manager, just throw as much money for the transfer and wages fantasy rubbish, who should we get that the other team is willing to sell right now?

As for our owners being the Glazers, this need to stop. They have not taken a cent out of the club and have done what they said, the club will spend what the club makes. They are not rulers of kingdoms or in charge of country's investment funds with unlimited resources, but seem to be savvy business people that has not gone bankrupt like our previous owners did. Could they have made fewer mistakes when it comes to ticket prices and some decisions (trademark issue) they made? Yes, they are not perfect, but a lot of people were saying they would be found out once Klopp left and we struggled to stay in the top 4. How has that worked out so far?

the stated amount spent on salaries seem a bit odd not sure computes when you break it down.

This is an excellent post and I've bookmarked it for when I take on those half-wits on Twatter giving out to anyone who will listen.

Unfortunately, I've a goldfish mind so I'll forget I've bookmarked it but kudos for the information.

Two of those wins against teams in the relegation zone, and a West Ham team in 14th. They still gave up a 2 goal lead against PSG and Brentford only recently.

I missed Ipswich being Virgil's 300th game for us

209 wins, 47 draws, 44 defeats

For context, that's the equivalent of 2.25pts/game, or 85pts a season (if they were all league games), not bad!

Pass of the century from Dom

Understand Dean Huijsen has release clause into his contract valid from this summer. Told Chelsea really appreciate Huijsen and he’s high on the list, Bayern called to be informed. Bournemouth are unbeaten since Huijsen entered in the starting XI, with 8 clean sheets.

Spotted on Reddit.

There could be a raid on Bournemouth in the summer

Would be great to have a few astute signings set us for next season.

Someone in the Liverpool Reddit said that the Bournemouth squad was in part due to Hughes so despite the current tumbleweeds perhaps there will be light at the end of the tunnel

near exact numbers in points and goals in compared to the same time last year only difference this year is Man City not breathing down our necks

Whilst this season may end extremely successfully there’s no doubt a busy summer window is required and as follows

LB signing and a decision on one of Tsimikas and Robertson future as current iterations aren’t good enough but one would be good enough as back up/rotation

RB Trent will leave on a free, Bradley is a good player now with plenty of scope for improvements, decision on wether he is now our new starting RB or do we sign another and Bradley remains back up/rotation.

Centre back- no issues with Van Dijk (who I think will stay) and Konate being the main partnership, but will Gomez fancy a move again as he did last summer? Quansah has had a rough season, plenty of potential there though.

Midfield- This is fine bar ideally a similar style player back up to Gravenberch, Endo is a fine squad player but there’s no denying Slot doesn’t sees Endo as competition for Grav, he is only a sub/ started in cups, Grav will be run into the ground by the end of the season.

Wingers- Gakpo is quietly having an incredible season on the left and has usurped Diaz there, him and Diaz for LW is great options, but I feel if a big offer came for Diaz we might consider it.

Salah I think will also stay and hopefully keeps up his performances again next season. Chiesa is finally starting to eek his way into the team, hopefully we will be happy to stay next year and gain more game time.

Strikers- This is becoming a big issue, Nunez has had plenty opportunities but it just really isn’t happening, might be a good time to shake hands and part ways.

Jota is a fabulous player but I wouldn’t even rely on him to play a half season worth of football so a signing is required here IMO, Diaz done well up front against Leverkusen. It has flattered to deceive in that position since.

Bacjetic might return as back up for Gravenberch? But IMO three signing minimum are required a LB a RB and a striker preferably all starting quality.

Potential leavings

Kelleher (certainly)

Trent (certainly)

One of Tsimikas or Robertson

Morton

Nunez

Maybe Gomez? But would hate to see it.

The likes of Gomez/Elliott/Endo are actually very essential for us as they’re very versatile and reliable for us, we need them to all stay .

Does terribly for the third, the rest aren't too bad but he does seem quite passive. Doesn't even dive for most of them

it concerns me a lot how Diaz keeps starting - it’s like the management are waiting for an ad hoc goal or assist to say yes that’s why. Both he and Nunez have to go.

Yeah he'll be back about 3 days before his next injury.

No actual update yet, all we know is that "he felt something" at Forest and it's been 2 weeks since then.

Last season was a funny one. We were all 3 elements within the same half of football, scintillatingly good, absolutely trash, or just average!

The 4-2 Newcastle game was a real synopses of what we were at, we could have had 10, we played some of the best attacking football of Klopps reign, yet Newcastle were still in it with 5 to go until Salah put away a peno to make it 4-2. We were playing well but we were never convincing at the back and were having too many let-offs that it was bound to catch up.

I don't think too many on here really believed it was sustainable either and we were kind of waiting for things to turn. We were picking up way too many injuries and every game seemed to be played at hectic pace, so you were kind of always waiting for the next body to breakdown. We never had a period, like the last 10 days for example, where we just went out and got the job done without lads having to break sweat.

And we had a 5 point lead as opposed to the 6 we have over Arsenal now. They would go onto finish 8 points clear of us.

I know this season is slightly different as Arsenal seem to be suffering with more injuries and the likes, but the fact the 99% of pundits and media outlets reckon that its a done deal is quite bizarre. Considering less than 12 months ago we squandered a very similar position to the same chasing opposition.
