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

And the parade has already started

Google Maps estimates that it will take them 109 days to get to Anfield assuming they are traveling at walking pace. They'll have to pick up the pace in order to make it in time for May 26th. 😅

Did people see the very end of that Inside Anfield video where Ibou was sitting in the stand, in an empty Anfield, taking it all in?

There's talks of him not signing a new contract - I wonder is he taking some time after winning to decide if he is making the right choice?

Still going through as much youtube videos as I can and came across an interesting stat:

This is Ryan Gravenberch's fifth league title at 22 years old!!

3 titles with Ajax, 1 title with Bayern and now 1 title with Liverpool. Crazy!!

We're obviously a lucky bunch. If Kelleher hadn't conceded the late equaliser against Newcastle, or the referee didn't play the additional minute against Everton in which Tarkowski scored, the league would have been decided last week.

As fate would have it, those two incidents which seemed like kicks in the proverbials at the time instead meant that this team won the league in front of their own fans on Sunday, which is what the players and the fans deserved.

The amazing thing about that Newcastle goal is it really wasn't a major mistake from Kelleher. It was a minor misjudgment (he expected the ball to go out) combined with a great stretch and stoke of good fortune from Schar.

All goalkeepers make bigger mistakes than that multiple times per season, but if they don't end up in the back of the net no-one remembers them.

Kelleher for a second choice keeper for years can actually lay claim to playing a massive part in our success, 2 league cups that he played iirc all the games and playing a quarter of a season in a league win which he was very good in. Nice to have an Irish connection in a very successful period for us, hopefully he gets a good move to a club challenging for honours somewhere.

As one of the people who was hoping Arsenal lost against Palace last week, I'm happy to admit I was wrong after seeing the scenes in Anfield on Sunday.

Chelsea did that already, but it didn't really work for them, and Brighton just brought in a new fella who signs the players and carried right on truckin'. So we should sign the Brighton fella who signs the fellas who signs the players!

Out of curiosity, how do people think Liverpool would have fared against this seasons Barca or Inter?

Barca look like their attack is on form at the right time of the season.

This season:

Tier 1: PSG, Barca

Tier 2: Inter

Tier 3: Liverpool, Bayern

Tier 4: Arsenal, Napoli, Real Madrid

All well and good saying we should just buy the players Brighton want but they have a fair amount of players who would be duds at this level too. Evan Ferguson scored a hat trick last season and fans of all top clubs were asking "why didn't we buy him???" and he was being referred to as a 100m player. He's scored 3 goals in 43 appearances since then and been sent on loan to West Ham. I'm not saying he won't come good but we wouldn't exactly be in a great spot had we signed him.

It's a total nonsense point, I see this come up a lot on the UTD thread too. "why don't we just do what Bournemouth, Brighton do etc"

The situations at Liverpool and UTD are so far apart from the Brighton's of this world, I don't think people really even realise. Buying potential for 20 odd million and giving him ample game time, and a settling in period is something not easily done at a club Liverpool.

It's actually argued at the top clubs, that the 20-year-old are better of signing elsewhere, and then buying them 2 or 3 years later with 60 odd 70 odd premier league starts behind him. They may cost 3 times the price, but some of the top brass reckons it's a better value purchase in the long run doing it that way. 

But Napoli are above Inter in Serie A. We live in a crazy world where Scott McTominay could end up with a league winner's medal after being turfed out of Man Utd last summer.

I think PSG and Barca are the main stand-outs in Europe this season.

Liverpool, Inter, Arsenal, Real, Bayern and Napoli would be all too tight to call over multiple 2 legged affairs. I couldn't differentiate between them a huge pile.
