Andoni Iraola Admits Liverpool “Are Still Quite Thin” and Need Signings
Going back two seasons, Liverpool had one of the best squads in Europe. On paper, a lot of talent remains. Yet even accepting many players individually and collectively under-performed last season, the squad today looks well short of what Liverpool fans expected it to be at this stage. Lacking depth and wildly imbalanced in places, […]
Rumour Mongering: PSG Willing to Reduce Barcola Asking Price
Liverpool have been rather stuck in a game of transfer chicken with Paris Saint-Germain going back at least a month now, with the French club keenly aware of just how much the Reds need their so-called Mohamed Salah replacement and previous reports having them setting an eye-watering £145M (€170M) asking price for top target Bradley […]
Brighton Reportedly Reject £50M Liverpool Bid for Yankuba Minteh
Liverpool ended last season looking well short of options on the wings then watched as Mohamed Salah left the club after upper management pushed for a parting of ways with the aging legend and the player and club agreed a mutual termination of the final year of his contract. The club quickly signed Victor Muñoz […]
Virgil van Dijk Calls for Fight, Care—and Transfers
Liverpool headed into the 2025-26 season widely seen as favourites to defend the Premier League title. They ended the season just barely sneaking into the Champions League places. Worse, they played consistently dull, dire, and uninspiring football along the way to get there. Expectations are a lot lower heading into 2026-27 as a result, and […]
Curtis Jones Travels to Italy for Inter Medical After Transfer Agreed
With the season kicking off this weekend and Liverpool in desperate need to strengthen at multiple positions, this was the week sporting director Richard Hughes was supposed to finally get down to business and get a few key signings across the line. Instead, the only deal the worst appointment of the Fenway Sports Group era […]
McConnell Loan Move to Preston Put on Hold for Regular Minutes at Liverpool
Per Lewis Steele’s regular Liverpool Confidential column for the Daily Mail, a proposed loan for Liverpool FC midfielder James McConnell to Preston North End has collapsed, after being told by Andoni Iraola he will be part of his plans for the first-team squad after a promising preseason. Cue the “LIKE A NEW SIGNING” jokes. All […]
Predicting Liverpool’s 2026-27 Premier League Season
With Liverpool’s 2026-27 Premier League campaign set to kick off in a couple of days, we thought it might be a good time to look ahead to the coming season with predictions in mind. We suspect most Liverpool fans won’t be predicting a title run, but is top four a lock? And what about the […]
Liverpool Defender Ifeanyi Ndukwe Expected to Join Levante on Loan
In January, Liverpool signed standout 18-year-old Austrian centre half Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Wien for €3M, with the player completing his move to Merseyside in the summer and impressing in pre-season where he was the surprise standout for new head coach Andoni Iraola. Unfortunately, though, the tall young defender came up just short when it […]
Liverpool Reportedly Agree €35M Curtis Jones Sale to Inter Milan
From the moment the 2025-26 season ended, there has been a steady buzz of speculation around Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, with the club trained Scouser heading into the final year of his contract and resistant to signing a new deal. The expected destination, were a transfer to be agreed, was always meant to be Inter […]
Rumour Mongering: Morrison to Go On Loan to Wednesday
Per reporting from The Athletic’s James Pearce, Liverpool FC attacker Kieran Morrison is set to go on loan to League One side Sheffield Wednesday. Per This is Anfield’s Jack Lusby, there had been interest in the player from Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and the Championship, but it seems that Wednesday and League One will be […]
Rumor Mongering: Barcola Discount and Osorio Interest Registered
Things continue to simmer on the transfer front with club-hosted rumors landing Tuesday, though no official signings have been announced in the UK evening Tuesday news window. The club have cross-posted reports that initially emerged in French publication RMC Sport that Bradley Barcola’s asking price had been “discounted” by PSG, though an additional day has […]
Liverpool Reportedly Plan Right Wing Shift for Rio Ngumoha
Liverpool’s first forward signing of the summer was to bring in left winger Victor Muñoz from Osasuna. Their marquee forward signing of the summer is expected to be to sign left winger Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. Both can play on the right but they mostly haven’t so far in their careers. Meanwhile, it’s star […]
Rumour Mongering: Valencia Interested in Signing Federico Chiesa
Federico Chiesa very much seems to enjoy being a Liverpool player and Liverpool fans very much seem to enjoy Federico Chiesa. Still, it’s probably fair to say that after two years spent on Merseyside and having arrived from Juventus hoping to get his career back on track, the experience hasn’t exactly delivered on that front. […]
In Liverpool’s Defence: The Kop Sings Jeremy Jacquet’s Name and Ronald Araujo Delivers
In Sunday’s Liverpool vs Como 1907 part two we finally got a chance to witness the reasons why many of the biggest football clubs in Europe and England (yeah, thanks Brexit) were chasing 21 years old French center back Jeremy Jacquet’s signature. His first real touch of the ball already gave a clue to why […]
Barcola and Mbaye Boost Hinted in French Super Cup
After Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye were both left out of the PSG squad for yesterday’s French Super Cup squad loss yesterday, the expectation has to be that the players will be on the move soon. Barcola and teammate Mbaye both failed to travel with the team for Sunday’s opening match, and reports abound that […]
Liverpool Reportedly Agree Personal Terms with Ibrahim Mbaye
As Liverpool struggled and stumbled through the 2025-26 season, the general consensus was that the biggest weak point in a thin and lopsided squad was on the wings and that multiple new signings would be necessary in the offseason in order to get the Reds properly back on track. The departure of legend Mohamed Salah […]
Andoni Iraola Reflects On Second Half Pre-Season Struggles
A theme for Liverpool through their first pre-season under new head coach Andoni Iraola has been strong first halves followed up by weaker seconds. Some of that has been down to substitutions, some has been down to the fitness demands of Iraola’s high-intensity approach, but reasons aside it has been noticable. On Sunday in their […]
Kerkez Looks Ahead to Liverpool Opener: “We Are Ready and Can’t Wait”
Liverpool put in their strongest performance of pre-season on Sunday in the Anfield headliner against Champions League side Como, and next up for the Reds under new head coach Andoni Iraola is the Premier League season opener against Newcastle next Sunday. “We are ready and everyone can’t wait until the season starts next week,” left […]

Liverpool 0, Como 0 – Behind Closed Doors Match Recap
Andoni Iraola and his training staff were all present on the touchline which was wonderful to see knowing that the main event at Anfield was soon approaching. There were even a handful of senior players watching from the balcony, too, though I’ll note that only Milos Kerkez and Dominik Szoboszlai stayed until the end. I’m […]
Liverpool’s Gain? New Premier League Rules For The 2026-27 Season
I thought it would be nice to take a pause from the ongoing Bradley Barcola saga and step away from the bad taste of the new investor reality and take a quick look into any rule changes facing the Premier League. All of the rule changes being adapted were rolled out for the 2026 World […]
Everything’s the Best: Looking In Couch Cushions for Clean Money
Liverpool under Fenway Sports Group have been, perhaps, the best possible ownership group in terms of a club’s stewardship in the modern game. Yes, there’ve been unvarnished money grabs that have alternately been prevented (e.g. the scuttled Super League) and begrudgingly accepted (e.g. ticket price hikes). FSG haven’t been perfect, but in a world of […]
Transfer Rumour Mongering: Mbaye Back On
The main chatter in the Liverpool sphere is surrounding PSG player Bradley Barcola and the club’s interest in bringing him to Anfield. However, buried in all of that is the rumour that teenage Senegalese national player Ibrahim Mbaye is also on their radar. Some say Mbaye isn’t Liverpool’s “number one” pick for winger, while other French […]
Liverpool Reportedly Lower Price For Curtis Jones
One of the many ongoing transfer sagas this summer (seriously Liverpool, do something) is the potential departure of Curtis Jones to Inter Milan. The Reds set their stall out early, claiming that they wanted around £40 million for the Scouse midfielder. Now there are reports out of Italy that Liverpool’s stance has softened, and they […]
