Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

On Monday it was announced that Mbappe had rejected PSG's latest contract offer of five plus one season.

The offer included a notable salary increase but the player rejected it, just as he did with the previous proposals.

As a result, PSG are considering replacements for Mbappe, with Everton's Brazilian international Richarlison high on the list, following the direct recommendation from drama queen Neymar.

According to RMC, PSG have not yet received an offer from Real Madrid, yet a bid from Liverpool FC has come in.

One thing that doesn't fit is where does Mbappe play if he comes in ?

Where does he see himself a left inside forward or CF ?

Haaland is who we need not Mbappe ,

How do you guys think the weekend will go,

Tuchel will try to come up with a plan to expose Trents & Robbo's side,

I think it owuld be perfect to have Hendo as the RCM but its also vital that whoever is at 6 makes it difficult for them to find Big Rom's feet, So if Fab is missing i'm not sure what road we will go down we might see Hendo at 6 & Milner as the RCM, (shows how light we still are in midfield even with numbers )

I also think its vital that Firmino plays , yes Jota scores more but i feel we keep the ball better as a team with Bobby there, ,

First goal as always is vital as Chelsea get a lot of men behind the ball, there defence structure is really good so we can't give them something to hold on to ,

I think we can stop Lukaku from scoring..I'm actually more worried about his link up play. He looks effective in bringing mount and havertz into play.

Fabinho has to play to cut off the passing channels to Lukaku's feet.

Reckon it will also be a high defensive line to keep him higher up the pitch.

Be an interesting selection for sure. Undecided on Jota/Firmino. Hopefully see a Fab/Hendo/Thiago midfield.

We had a choice of Minamino and Haaland , most of it based on the performances against us when we played Red Bull Salzburg , we went with Minamino... what could have been. Dortmund took Haaland, for a few million up front, 20m total.

That's not true, Haaland , his father & Raiola decided he would not move to a club straight away ,

They decided it would be best for him to so somewhere like Dortmund where he would start every game ,it also meant they all get paid twice, they all got a slice of the pie from that transfer and figured in a couple of years he would get a massive move for astronomical figures

Haaland future has been well mapped not just on football but on the financial benefits to, and there is nothing wrong with that ,

I can't see Fabhino making it, He won't be fit enough, he is yet to start a game and then missed guts of a week training ,

That's a good omen then!

Doubt it but Robertson might start ahead of the Greek alright

Madrid bid for Mbappe 160 million and tlak is PSG want Salah to replace him

The more i see Haaland the more i want us to sign him, i thought his selfishness was a big drawback and does'nt fit in with the way we play but having watched a couple of Dortmund games he appears to have softened the selfishness and is willing to turn provider when he can.

If i had the choice between Haaland and Mbappe then Haaland just shades it for me.

Really get the impression that this is the summer of renewals rather than the summer of singings.

Which is not a bad thing all the same, but I would still have brought in another attacker and midfielder ideally. I guess if a suitor was found for Origi for £20m and Shaqiri went for more, the option may have been there but with the pandemic affected finances of the clubs who would have bought them, the money just wasn't there for incomings. Consolidate the squad position with contracts and go from there. We have still added Konate, Thiago & Jota to a title winning side, losing Gini in the process.

It just leaves more work to be done next summer for the rejuvenation of the squad. But maybe more time to build up a 'transfer kitty'.

Real Madrid already trying to cut wages of players, would be funny to see him go there and then watch Real fail to register him as a player.

I'v a feeling Madrid know there bid won't be accepted but its Perez way of showing Mbappe how much they really want him ,

So when he is on a free next summer it'll be in Madrid's favour , 160 million for a lad with 1 year left is not happing ,

It sums up how messed up Real and Barca are , when a player like Mbappe is literally FREE in a matter of weeks, but REAL are like,'' NO I WANNA GIVE YOU 200M!!''

Liverpool have a side twice as good as Real's , and we've made 7m in this window.

Do people think Robertson or Tsimikas will start on Saturday? I would go with Tsimikas - has earned it and Andy is bound to be rusty.

City lose it seems. Liverpool do their business early, not in the last few days.

Who ever City gets in now won't be a Kane. Not many great strikers out there, so this is good for Liverpool, every bonus is a help.

Danny Ings would have been perfect for them but fortunately he's not a big enough name.

Definitely think City with Kane are a much more dangerous proposition. Think he'd add a lot more than Graelish will for instance. In those stubborn games, you really want a striker in there as a focal point, when all the lovely possession outside a packed box isn't creating much - like we already saw against Spurs, and in the CL final against Chelsea. It's the same change Chelsea have created with Lukaku. A big presence in the box who is also a lethal finisher will create spaces by default. City's 90+ points totals came playing with a proper striker (Aguero got 21 goals in each), and though they still won the league last year, they scored the fewest goals they've gotten in 5 years in the process. I don't think they'll break 90 this year without buying a proper CF.

I'm sure they'll just go out and buy someone else instead anyway, as much as I'd love them to go through the season without a proper striker.

No way would Mbappe sign for City, even for 5m a weeks wages. He's getting offer all the money in the world to sign on the dotted line at PSG and he won't. It's all about Real, he wants Real.

Seems PSG are open to it now, talking of the bid rather than saying he's not for sale. I expect the deal will be done now in next few days. It's either 0 or 180m , they're not fools.

Liverpool would have won the league last year if we hadn't lost 6 in a row at Anfield, City had a poor points total last year... for their standards. They've already lost a game this season.

Had we won those 6 games at Anfield we'd have had 87 pts, which wins the league .

I don't see us losing 6 at home this season with a full Anfield. And we are much stronger this season, with VVD, Gomez, Matip fit, Jota settled, Mane back smiling and scoring. Thiago can play in his position , not in goal! , Fab also, no longer the Tealady, he can play where he should be. Then we had Elliott, Konate ,Tsimikas, Ox, Keita all looking super fit , at last.

So many positives from last season, how do we not win the league .
