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

Virgil and De Bruyne are apparently big buddies and holiday together regularly. I also heard De Bruyne was eager to keep his kids in the same schools and was happy to stay in the Northwest.

If the data guys see value in adding De Bruyne to the squad, why not. I don't think wages are a stumbling block if he intends to stay in the premier league.

I think he's a Milner type engine in him with more quality, definitely would be a great addition for a few years, top quality and experience.

Gary Macca de Bruyne

If he had the same influence it would be great.

Personally not seeing it though

I hear all the comments about youth etc but there is no way i would turn my nose up at KDB on a 1 year deal (for reasonable wages)

He still managed 11 goal contributions in 25 games this season in the PL even though he was injured a lot.

I'd take him on a low wage with decent bonuses. He'd be a great option to replace Mac Allister or Szobozlai in the last 20 if we needed to unlock a low block.

if KDB is coming in then more than likely we're gonna cash in on MacAllister, Madrid for €100 mill plus probably his destination

I'm not searching for it but if he was involved in the Sean Cox chant on the plane(which most of the team/backroom staff were) then I think there would be serious kick back from the stands. If he was involved, I wouldn't want him anywhere near a red shirt even if he was on a free and reasonable wages.

Gianluca Di Marzio is the source for the De Bruyne rumour. He reported last August that Raheem Sterling was going to Juventus in an exchange deal for Federico Chiesa and that Victor Osimhen had turned down a move to Chelsea in favour of joining Al-Ahli. Within 24-48 hours, Sterling was at Arsenal, Chiesa signed for Liverpool and Osimhen was on his way to Galatasaray.

Conclusion: He's a BS artist.

All I'm hearing for next season is that Arsenal only need a striker and they're favourites for winning the league next year.

Arsenal don't have a bench and that's after Arteta has spent 700 million. It was obvious last night.

This summer Arsenal will need to be replacing: Partey, Jorghino, Zinchenko and Tierney are definitely going. Sterling will go back to Chelsea. That's 5 players.

Probably Jesus too. Do they keep Havertz?

Ben White seems to have dropped down the pecking order. Will he be looking for a move?

I think for them to move up another level they would also need to be replacing Marinelli who just didn't deliver in the 2 games against PSG.

They could be in for a big overhaul and they are relying on Saka to carry them.

They'll need a lot more investment in to that squad and not just needing a striker.

I think Thiago gave us our fair share of high wage, over the hill midfielders for a while. No thanks to KDB

To be honest I think Arteta is doing a great job at Arsenal and hope he gets another 5 years at least to complete the project. Afterwards I hope he has the humility to bring his winning mentality to Everton, I believe he could really take that club somewhere.

He's a no brainier but not in the sense you mean. Any games I've got seen him play and he has yet to convince me that he has any grey matter to help his decision making. Not the best defender I've ever seen.

let’s not replace a right back who can’t defend with the same

A lot has been made of the Frimpong's Scouse accent impression, but I don't think it's a reason to believe Liverpool see him as a replacement for the right back position. He's Harvey Elliott's size, so the physical mismatch against Premier League forwards would not be pretty.

He has played more minutes for Leverkusen this season as a #10 than as a conventional fullback. He plays on the right of midfield and helps out the defenders primarily by being an outlet to progress the ball quickly. For the national team Geertruida or Dumfries have the fullback position, Frimpong plays as a winger in Salah's position. He has twice filled in as a fullback and on both occasions been replaced.

Bradley deserves the opportunity to make the position his own. People make a thing of his injuries, but they could be attributed to the fact that he's playing at an elite level club and was kept out of the team for long spells by Alexander-Arnold's availability. Getting muscle injuries as he did this season is always a risk when coming into the team cold.

He needs a backup option equivalent to Tsimikas who can come in and do the job when needed. Yukinari Sugawara from Southampton could be that player, he also has the versatility to fill in at centre back or on the right wing.
