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

It was being talked about in public that for the last however many days that it looked like City were going to sign him - that is what is known in public. I imagine behind the scenes at Palace/City it was much further advanced, we also have absolutely no insight into the wages.

From the Liverpool perspective in the summer, everything was over the line, it was last minute internal nonsense at Palace that scuppered it, Liverpool had absolutely zero control in any of that.

It's a pity, he would have been a huge addition, but that's it.

We are possibly/likely on the tailend of one of the best decades this club has ever had, with by our standards insane signing (including the most outrageous summer window in our history), I cannot fathom the entitled set of fans that have come along with that - just because we've had an incredible decade on and off the field does not mean that can or will continue without any hiccups at all. Completely over the top reaction to a mediocre start to a season with a fairly new team, and a major transfer target being missed while buying 6 other major targets (2 of which are out for most of the season with fairly extreme injuries.

TL;DR: get a grip?

Yea, you seem fairly upset about the entitled word.

Nobody has to be a superfan, nobody is not allowed to have their feelings - I'm sorry you felt like that was being impinged upon.

Anyway, there is no world in which we get everything right. I personally think anyone expecting that fits the description of entitled - I'm happy to park that word there.

By all accounts we did everything reasonably possible in one transfer window to set this club right, RB, LB, Young CB (who seems **** great btw, might not work out like that), AM, 2 seemingly world class center forwards (who it never gets mentioned because it's convenient do a lot of their best work coming from wide positions. With the only caveat at the end of the window being that it was a massive disappointment not to get Guehi in, but hands were essentially tied.

It is impossible to live up to the expectations of some here, the club may end up going backwards, you might be right, this might be terminal decline. It also might be the low point of transition, and we may be competitive again for the next few seasons, we don't know. The lack of patience to me is staggering, I also do find it bizarre that we are not looking for another CB, ideally one who could slot in now somewhat, and be athletic enough to deputise at full back ideally.

Firstly I was speaking about the transfers in terms of perfection, because I think bar Guehi the consensus across the board, was that Liverpool had an outrageously strong summer. In hindsight we have 2 now glaring omissions: a wide attacker with pace that Slot will actually use, and a CB.

It is completely self evident that there is plenty of grey area in terms of results and performance that exists between perfection and what we have seen this season thus far. From my perspective, you are supporting my position, that expectations cannot be kept up with, as you have dismissed transition (frankly saying it is debunked is actual pure nonsense) because we aren't firing on all cylinders by January, again it's a perspective, I'm not saying I'm wholly right but a summer with say 7 outgoings and a death, and 6 incomings all in the first 11/match day squad, is always going to take time, less or more than up until now? Can't say.

Your last line 'This is absolutely false and completely invented by you.' is strange, it is neither provable nor unprovable by either of us, if I said we were brilliant all season and are 3rd in the league table, you can call that false and made up, if I say there are expectations that I think are impossible to live up to, it is weird to say it's false and made up, I might be wrong.
