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

Confirmed he'll leave as a free agent. I think that's the right thing too given all he has contributed and at 34 his market value is minimal

Thanks for the memories Mo. Been watching Pool for over 40 years,and has been one of the very best players I've seen play for us.

Let's leave it for today and not worry about fees, contracts or where he's going,that will sort itself out in time. He'll find a place to play if he wants that,be it in Europe,America or Asia/Middle East, with a proper coach who wants to build an attack around him he'd still do a job in Europe even.

That's for another day though,for now 'Veni, vidi, vici'

Start of the drop off now. It was a good cycle to be fair.

The club have been clever with the timing of this release.

This will now stop all talk of Slot and how poor we are for the rest of the international break.

All focus will be on remembering Mo

The formation for next season needs to be decided first. Are we going to move to two up top or are we staying with 3? If it's two then we need one CF if not and it's three then we'll need to buy two wide men.

Last I read was the Olise pursuit was being dropped as deemed not likely.

I would love us to go back to nobody knowing who we are going to sign and then announce players like Fabinho!

Like Salah, I think Slots future is probably decided. It won't be announced of course. Lame duck manager equals downed tools.

Since he joined Liverpool, Salah has scored or assisted 35% of every single Liverpool goal in that time.

Incredible.

Absolute legend.

Paul Joyce says he's leaving on a free transfer

This. A thousand times. Been supporting 40+ years also and never thought I'd see anything more exciting than Barnes & Beardsley, but the Mane-Bobby-Mo triumvirate is for me tied with Neymar-Messi-Suarez as the best front 3 in history. The tag of legends gets bandied about far too loosely these days almost to the point of lessening it; Mo is a giant. In the pantheon of elite players. Or a top top top player as the morons would say these days. Forgive the text dump that follows, and a lot of these stats are in need or updating since they were from Sept 2025 but I doubt we'll see another like him. I hope we do.
