Criminally Negligent: The Liverpool Transfers Thread (2025)

Think you are wrong. Frimpong will be first in line to stand in for Salah during AFCON (assuming Bradley is available at RB). That versatility is partly what makes Frimpong a great signing for us.

 

No surprise there. We can't afford to lose him at this stage even if he goes on a free next season.

 

Seems Slot agrees!

Arne Slot praises Jeremie Frimpong’s versatility, says he can deputise for Mohamed Salah - The Athletic

 

I rely upon Romano for news and usually take him at his word. I like his work. But, and obviously personal taste, he always rubs me the wrong way when I hear him on the radio or see him on video. He should stick to the written word, because he is annoying af on audio/video.

 

You might be right. I just mean that (right now) it's an unknown quantity playing him there. He is undoubtedly worth the spot in any flowing move where he's already running/charging into spaces. But you could say the same about Andy Robertson or Lillian Thuram or Sergio Ramos (ugh-spit on that name)

But not sure how he will do as a forward the rest of the time when he is waiting for the ball and then having to initiate from standstill into attacking creation plays.......
That requires a particular mindset. maybe he'll be great at it. I hope so.

 

Don't necessarily need him to play "forward", and according to transfermarkt he's played "right midfield" like 130 times in the past 5 years.

 

Thought this might be s good place for this. Meet the guys and pronounce their names correctl

Robbo looked super annoyed

 

Yup. Also plays there for the NT with Dumfries at RWB

 

Gravenberch was the one where I was most off!

 

I would love to get both of them in and sell Joe or put him out to pasture. I think he's a good player but we just can rely on him to stay healthy. If we want to compete on multiple fronts, I think we need 4 CB we can stay reasonably healthy

 

So today’s interwebs have the following absolutely true facts:
1. £30m for Guehi with £5-7m in achievable add ons
2. ⁠Newcastle will do business on Isak but don’t want to conclude the deal that allows him to play for us against them in second game of the season. So after that.

Actually both of these seem rather believable.

 

In other words, nothing to see here folks.

 

Another reason for keeping him might be Leoni. His parents will know Fed will be here and can help look after him, if he signs.

 

Shades of Chiesa last season

 

Random article about this kid Leoni.

There are rumors, but bear in mind, it’s the interwebs, but rumors that he’s on his way to Merseyside for a medical with personal terms sorted and a fee sufficiently agreed that a medical has been green lit. Rumors.

 

Those Leoni rumors heating up.

Romano confirming the same.

 

Could be preparing for both scenario's. Either way even if Ibou stays I would think Joe Gomez probably won't be with us too much longer after this season .

I had to read that twice, too. I think it's both future-proofing van Dijk and that Konaté, PR stuff notwithstanding, is off in the summer.

 

No, I’m going with Speker here. It’s forward planning. Strengthens our hand with Konate, strengthens our hand for life after VVD all the while keeping everyone onside with playing time except maybe Gomez. And even then, he’s a Swiss Army defender.
