Jarrell Quansah to Leverkusen is close, and for around £35m, which in the context of the Wirtz price, is madness. Fabrizio Romano says that once that deal is sealed, Liverpool will 'activate centre back options' and are expected to make a bid for Marc Guehi. Any more of this and it will begin to loo...

Scutterbucketz Yes, think I prefer it with white shorts and socks.

See that's lovely. Chance I'd be a 44 year old full kit w@nker if that were released.

I think it's great. A nod to our history. But white shorts would work better. The effect of the pattern is to lose to the vibrancy of the blue in the shirt - so the shorts look like they are a different shade.

Could be TAA vs Robertson next season in the Madrid derby as the Robertson could be about to join Atletico. Talking of Liverpool, some reports coming out of Italy are suggesting Napoli are up for a Osimhen/Nunez swap deal :lol: Automatically stop listening when someone suggests a swap deal! Pure sh...

Barcelona nearing a deal to sign Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams. The winger has agreed a six year deal. Made his debut for Athletic at 18 years old. Exciting player.

No news ever 'breaks' any more, does it?

Sky Sports says 'Sheffield United to sack Chris Wilder this week.'

So he either didn't know, or now he does. Or he does know but the club hasn't announced it yet. Either way, Sky Sports leading that something is going to happen, but hasn't yet.

Sutekh Well SecondPlace FC look like they’ll miss out on Zubimendi, who now appears to be Real bound, so are finally attempting to buy a striker by the name of Sexko or something.

Xabi Alonso as boss might be the key there. Zubimendi has long said he models his game on him.

Have to say that Trent saying leaving Liverpool was the hardest decision of his life, and then speaking fluent Spanish at the presser before stating (and correcting, pointlessly) that he has 'had to wait a long time' to join Real, is shithousery of the highest order. Well he has had 2 years to lear...

Oviedo through to the Segunda play off final. Cazorla leading out his boyhood club to try and get them back to La Liga for the first time in 24 years, in what could be his last ever match. The script feels written He also scored the goal to put them through. Indeed. 40 years old, bullet free kick i...

What sort of numbers is Wirtz gonna have to put up to be considered successful? With a 150M price tag it's gotta be high! Something like this, which is his 24/25 season vs. Lamine Yamal, and puts him in the same ballpark. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GrsCQFIWsAEx7w4?format=jpg&name=small Liverpo...

Ornstein heard him speak the other day on a podcast. It was almost impressive how he managed to speak for what must have been around 5 minutes without actually really saying anything of note at all. Its the exact same thing politicians are trained to do. just keep talking and talking and talking, w...

Fabrizio Romano confirms the Wirtz deal, although Ornstein says there's a bit to do. But it'll happen. Romano also says 'Kerkez is next'. With Frimpong and Kerkez at full-back, Liverpool's team is going to be bombing down the wings like no team since the days of Robinson and Murty overlapping our wi...

More broadly - frankly I've got little time for any complaints about the start to Tuchel's tenure. Most of y'all wanted this. Southgate got results, the players loved him - not good enough. So here we are.

If you're talking about a time when we're ranked 4th in the world, arguments about who we 'should' beat become a little silly.

You could probably do something similar with Ronnie Moran at Liverpool, he joined the club as a player in 1952, and finally hung up his coaching boots in 1998. He played alongside Billy Liddell, who joined Liverpool in 1938, and coached Jamie Carragher, who retired and left Liverpool in 2013.

Mad stat this. The losing team hasn't scored in the Champions League final in any of the last seven years. Sadio Mane's goal for Liverpool in their 3-1 defeat to Real in 2017-18 the last time the losers got on the scoresheet.

Fran Kirby has retired from England duty after not making the squad. But with Earps quitting too, and now Millie Bright making herself 'unavailable for selection for health reasons', when do questions start to be asked about the health of Wiegman's management in general? What's going on?

Jadon Sancho's career back into limbo. Chelsea declined their 'obligation to buy' for £25m, and instead will pay United £5m to take him back.

Jobe Bellingham following a familiar path to his brother - Sunderland 'in advanced talks' to sell him to Dortmund.

Jobe dpesn't have a lot of Jude's obvious class and elite ability, but I wouldn't bet against them playing for England together at some point.
