Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Would have been nice for him to leave with another CL.

2018, Liverpool lose the Champion's League Final to Real Madrid.

They win it the following year.

2019, Liverpool lose out on the Premier League by a point to Man City.

They win it the following year.

Next year I reckon we win the double. Get your money on it now.

Biding his time unfortunately :-(

This is the thing I find gas about that carry on - Utd fans dread Liverpool winning anything as they'll get a bit of slagging from their Liverpool-supporting mates etc, but that kind of non-sensical reaction to Liverpool losing is more slagging-worthy than anything else! I'd never stop slagging off a Utd supporting mate if he did that around me.

There was once a time when football fans didn't care about the result of any match if their own club wasn't directly affected by the result. A lot of people these days seem to 'not support' a certain club way more than they actually support their own club.

So close to a Quad, it's a once in a career thing, you'd expect a lesser season next season. We're not linked with anyone as of yet, nothing of first team quality, Kane was a link, it would take something like that to really refresh us, a big signing.

Such a shame, he was fitting in nicely to that central role and I've loved to seen him there for a full season or two! Season is just barley over and us losing Mane and City signing Haaland has put us well on the back foot already for next year...

I doubt the club will dig the heels in if that's what he really wants. It would be a bit disrespectful considering what he did for the club and he has obviously got an much better deal somewhere else and wants to seek another challenge. Could you imagine if your employer tried to do that to you. The Kane one was different as he had just commited to a 6 year contract and he then decided he didn't want anything to do with the club less than 12 months into it...

The replacement element of the above is the interesting thing, maybe the club will ask him to stay until someone comes in. That could be amicable enough for both sides

I’d be sad to see him go, but he has more than earned the right to leave on his own terms

I wonder would they buy and out and out center forward and Klopp then goes back to the 4231 he had at BVB.

Mané might go but can't see it being €30m.

That's what we paid for Thiago with a year left on his contract and I'd value Mané much, much higher than him.

As for Mane’s replacement, you have to wonder which position it’ll be for. Do you replace him with a winger to compete with Diaz and Salah, or with a central player to compete with Jota?

For me, I’d go for the latter and see if we could land Nkunku. It’s a like-for-like replacement for Mane in his new role, but he can do a job out wide or as a 10 in a 4-2-3-1 if needs be. To what level, I couldn’t say.

We’ll have to sign a wide player too though if that were the case, as Jota would be the only good backup for our wingers but even he’s best used through the middle.

Selling a versatile forward like Mane could be a serious headache for the team.

If we're really serious, Nkunku will be the replacement.

But we'll see.

I'd like to see us go for Nunez from Benfica, he looked like he can find the net at will.

Darwin Nunez at the reported £50 would be a good signing for a 22 year with a very good goal scoring record.

It would also be a move that makes sense with Ward and Pep's links to Portugal.

Also reports in Portuagl yesterday that his move would be announed after the Champions League Final.

50 quid for nunez would be a smashing bit of business alright

I’m considering an €80 bid for the craic but I have no idea what I’d do with him. Can he do card tricks?

Good to see the players enjoying themselves at the parade. Mood doesn’t seem to be too down. As disappointing as the last week was easy to forget that most seasons clubs don’t win anything so 2 trophies is nothing to be sniffy about.

Glazers Out?

I mean, don't get me wrong here but while that Curtouis save from Salah was class I dont see it as being as good as everyone is saying. Take a look at it again, Curtouis barely moves an inch to save it, he effectively just didnt jump out of the way of it and saved it, the shot was basically str8 at him, Salah had another couple of feet to aim at to Curtouis' right side of the goal but ended up shooting almost str8 at him. I think his save from Mane was better personally, and that time he shuffled across the goal to stop Salah getting a tap in were far more impressive imo.

Gakpo being linked as well,

Seems to be a lot of options out there.
