I can only imagine the grume in the summer if we sign these two Bournemouth players - “ducking Hughes buying crap players he already knows so he can get back to sunning himself on the beach”

An archaic term for a blood clot.
You learn something new every day.

There’s no way any player at Kerkez level would turn down the chance of winning PL and CL in the next few months.
We’re in a position now where we don’t need to convince anyone to join us. Just need to trust Hughes et al to make the right decisions

I low-key love that you occasionally post stuff like this for an audience of literally me

Bournemouth are also doing well, so the smartest for Kerkez might be to wait for summer and then see his options and decide. I don’t expect movement at LB (if any) this month, we’d have to move one out also.

Kerkez was doing some streaming the other day (assume some online gaming) and was asked about moving to Liverpool.
He said ‘i will not go to Liverpool’.
Obviously he wouldnt and couldn’t say anything else really.

I dont know. There are a million ways you can bat away these rumours without being so definitive. Young kid and English not his first language so maybe it can be taken with a grain of salt, but I did find it funny how oddly final it was.

I agree, we are a great destination and if anyone doesn’t want it, we will be more than fine and there are plenty of fish in the sea.
I was just going off the latest Kerkez comments when he said he wasn’t going to Liverpool. If true, I’m fine with us signing Hato. If not true, I’m more than happy to sign Kerkez.

Maybe Jota beat him on FIFA and he is just sour.
It’s not about convincing the player, I am sure many players would jump aboard our train but the clubs will drive the highest price.
I didnt realize until he commented on it that it wasnt a real word, but was a term going back to the Rafa era @ZinedineBiscan and I used to describe the generalized sense of pessimism over the need to make signings to kick on and the lack of confidence in our ability to do it.
“Phillip Degan? Is that a real name? That isnt going to lift the Grume in here”
“I just read we are signing some Ukranian guy I’ve never heard of to support Torres so am feeling pretty Grumey today”
“Well, the window just kicked open and Parry fucked off for a 3 week holiday. Let the Grume fall”

Also that it originated from a fellow forumite angrily posting the misspelled ‘grumpy’ as ‘grumy’… as in “you lot of grumy bastards…”

January window? In the summer? On holiday? Ever?
So many questions!

Lussey signed for Bootle FC today, glad to see him back in the game.

See some rumours about Tyler Morton and a potential move to West ham.
Would make sense as McConnell is younger and seems to be have pushed past him in recent weeks.

Might just be unreliable.
Don’t see any movement happening this late though. Unless the price is too good to refuse.
Maybe a transfer for the summer.
He’s probably a west ham level player anyway. Too good for the championship, not good enough for top 6 clubs.

He is and he’s also unattainable. Besides, I think that we’re about the see summer 2023 applied to Liverpool’s frontline - or at least that’s what I hope for.
Nunez isn’t of the required standard, Jota is made of glass, Diaz is not a consistent goalscorer (and hasn’t been the same player since his injury at Arsenal), Chiesa is a failed gamble and the kids out on loan probably each need one more good season out on loan.
I’m not saying that the four seniors will all get sold but I’d be surprised if at least two of them were Liverpool players next season. My money is on Nunez and Diaz.

Um…no….to any of that. We may swap out one forward player but that’s it. Isak is absolutely attainable. The club have proven they will spend the money of the right player. Isak would take this squad to another lever entirely.

I could see anything from 0-4 forward changes in the summer, for different reasons. I would say Gakpo is the closest thing to a sure thing of being here next season. You could make a case for pretty much any of the others leaving, for different reasons.
Salah - contract expires.
Nunez - Slot might prefer the transfer fee to reinvest in a player he fancies more.
Diaz - needs a new deal on better terms, or he might be sold. Good player, but the raw numbers aren’t all that good, and Slot might prefer to reinvest the dough.
Jota - probably stays, good player, injury prone, so it is unlikely anyone would give us enough to tempt us. And if he stays, great, as he is a good player.
Chiesa - we are taking a long time working with him to get him up to speed, but between now and the end of the season he needs to show us why he deserves to be here next season. Obvious quality, but he needs to show it.
