Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 25/26 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

Guehi will get done next week, parish himself tonight said they have to sell. It's a waiting game, if his only choice is Liverpool they'll have to compromise and deal or lose him for nothing. They are just hoping someone else will come in at the final hour, willing to pay more and guehi willing to go to.

He's only played 17 games for Parma so 3 at RB isn't that small a number percentage wise!

I was coming on there to say the exact same thing. It'll be done after next Thursday, it was always going to be a late move, palace leverage is dwindling by the day.

Swaps nearly never happen and they can do a lot better than Danns

That sounds more like a reconciliation is coming than a transfer?

Indy kalia said that Rodrygo has asked Allison about Liverpool

lol

on a side note, it seems as though the Indy kalia character has had a bit of a resurgence in the last while. A few articles about how the original guy sold his account to real reporters.
it could be due to the fact that he has heaps of followers and twitter now pays for engagement so the reporters are looking to get on board with him.

Wild.

Rory Smith interviewed him for a piece in The Observer yesterday and said he still controls the account but now has more real sources including 2 journalists

He basically said that because his following is so large, agents started finding it useful to feed him info as it gets a much wider audience than local journalists and it kind of grew organically from there

He still seems to spout crazy stuff here and there and you still have to understand that even if he has a real source that source will have their own biases and reasons for using him so it's still hard to actually take seriously

It's the usual problem of the signal and the noise. With transfers there's always noise. Clubs will have a long list of targets and will regularly check in with agents to see what statuses are. But that doesn't mean anything

Rob Guttman on his podcast for the Anfield Wrap yesterday spoke about Semenyo interest, but the discussion was around how we've always had him somewhere on our list so it's not unusual that we might have spoken to his agent recently to check in. But that doesn't mean we're actually interested in bidding for him this window. It's just something that happens. And then that agent talks to people and says yeah Liverpool were on the phone. But he probably gets calls all the time from clubs exactly the same. But with Liverpool's current standing in Europe, it's very advantageous for agents to drop our name if they're looking to get their client into contract negotiations or something

I think it's impossible to know for sure as everyone seems to brief everyone else all the time for their own gain

What's more interesting to me is when the club journalists stay quiet. That often tells more than what they say. See our journalists with Isak, or Newcastle's with Strand Larsen (Keith Dowie yesterday claimed not to have even heard his name rumoured)

That's when stuff gets close

Have the Saudis given up on Newcastle? No CEO or DOF. Howe has been completely hung out to dry here with no help it seems. He's handled it very well IMO. I just wonder if the owners thought they would wander in buy every player they wanted and win the league within a couple of years but underestimated the PSR rules.

I won't believe it until I've seen the analysis on Match of the Day

Disasterous loss for Leverkusen in the end

Saka will definitely play but Odegaard looks like a shoulder issue which will prevent him from being able to bounce the ball in the box so he'll likely be out

Arsenal could well be better without Odegaard. Form has not been good for a while. Saka would be a big loss, but he didnt look too bad and has been known for quick recoveries

The plausibility of the Isak transfer depends on Newcastle securing replacement(s) something have failed miserably at all summer, I can't see how they turn that around in 8 days?

Newcastle willing to sell, Liverpool still there waiting but can't wait too much longer.

I still think Newcastle are doing the wrong thing trying to replace like for like in a striker market that has been shrunk to nothing this summer. It's their mess though, they have handled it on an amateurs level resulting in the player going on strike.

Yeah I'd love to be proven wrong but I can't see Newcastle letting him go (even if it has turned toxic for them) as they have no forward alternatives or signings.

Even if they get Wissa (which is by no means a done deal) I'm not confident we'll get him so what are the alternatives?

I think it's vital we try get Guehi as we're one serious CB injury away from disaster there.
