The Unreliable LFC Transfer Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 3)

Or better to say, rather than learn, hope that there is not a 2022/2023 situation anymore in terms of the amount of changes and mess that happened in the directory level.

I mean, that is also impossible to prevent from time to time. People leave, for sporting or private reasons or a combination of both. That was realistically a little period of crisis above Klopp for longer than we had hoped for.

That certainly played a part in some big things that needed deciding, negotiating and agreeing over the last few years pre-Edwards’ return and Hughes’/Slot’s arrival.

Some Jack Gaughan from the Mail:

Liverpool are monitoring the situation of Adam Wharton.

He’s a lovely player with incredible potential, but my first reaction is he likely wouldn’t play much so would be a lot of money for a young back up and likely wouldn’t be the right move for him at this stage of his career. If we like him enough to do it though then that could be a really tidy midfield with him gravy and Mac

“Slot Targets Milos Kerkez: Not a Replacement — But the Next Phase on the Left”

According to CaughtOffside and TeamTalk, Arne Slot has identified Milos Kerkez as a key target for Liverpool this summer. But this isn’t just about left-back rotation — it’s about reinventing the flank with new rhythm, aggression, and tactical purpose.

Liverpool aren’t simply looking to back up Robertson. They’re reshaping how the left side functions — not just with pace, but with presence.

Enter Milos Kerkez. At 21, he’s not here to erase Robbo’s legacy. He’s here to extend it — in a sharper, more explosive form. Under Slot’s philosophy of high pressing and vertical progression, Kerkez could become the kind of left-sided weapon Liverpool never truly had.

His 2024/25 numbers with Bournemouth say it all:

187 crosses (25% accuracy), 5 assists, 2 goals, 11 big chances created, 52 tackles won, 101 clearances.

Kerkez brings balance — relentless in attack, combative in defence.

Slotting him in reshapes Liverpool’s dynamic:

Luis DĂ­az moves closer to goal as Kerkez maintains width.

Szoboszlai gains an aggressive partner outside.

Build-up becomes less predictable, more vertical.

Slot can deploy the 3-2-5 shape with Kerkez high and ready to recover.

And Robertson? Still vital. But now, he shares the burden — a tactical ace for the biggest nights.

Kerkez isn’t replacing anyone. He’s continuing the story — younger, faster, and tuned for the Slot era.

If this move happens, Liverpool aren’t closing a chapter. They’re drawing a new line across the same page.

Pun entirely intended, no doubt.

I think it’s fascinating. Slot won the title with none of his own signings. Now we see how we build in his image. We can all guess and speculate but its impossible to know what he sees and wants.

Apparently, we were picking between him and Nunez in the summer of 2022.

Don’t see much sense in going for him this time.

I think Danns has something about him.

I read somewhere that arsenal were interested in kdb and/or isak. Not sure where I read it but it could be agents or journos spreading rumours

Paul Joyce has tweeted that Liverpool have triggered Frimpong’s release clause.

Sounds like he will be a Liverpool player soon.

We landed a high quality offensive right back. Gotta admit this sounds like a really good move for the club.

We need to sign him, many top strikers can score goals but how many can balance a boot on one finger too?

Seems a little lower than would be ideal? Also for someone who has had their end product and statistics lauded, 5 assists seems solid rather than amazing.

It does look like if we sign both Frimpong and Kerkez , we will be back to the marauding wingback era of early Klopp.

That style suits Bradley too.

We should be getting goals from the wingbacks too , not just assists.

Isak might be a possibility if we get good money for Nunez.

What is not taken into account with these statistics, is the calibre of forward attempting to get on the end of those crosses… The better the forward player, the more they would anticipate what is needed. The important point I noted, was the number of crosses per se was quite good

Wouldn’t Robbo be up there with the best left backs the league has seen. His assists are probably close to being the best produced by a left back since football began😉

It’s amazing how quickly people forget. Robertson was the best LB in the world 5 years ago. He is without doubt one of the best, if not the best, LBs we have ever had.
