Liverpool Rumours 4

16 Jun 2026 00:14:23
Latest rumour is Elliot to be used in a deal for Bouaddi. With Lille wanting £60m, we are trying to get the price down. Club value Elliot at £25-£30m. Could also be used in the Diomande deal, as Leipzig previously liked Elliot.

Prem clubs interested apparently are:
Leeds
Coventry
Ipswich
Sunderland.

16 Jun 2026 06:13:47
I felt that Nunez failed to live up to the expectations when he signed for us. City paid less in transfer fee to get Haaland. That season was supposed to be Nunez vs Haaland, but we all know how that ended up.

Personally, I don't think we should go back for Nunez.

He's also very hot-headed and prone to get red cards. However, having said that, if Iraola wants him in, I'm sure he has a plan to make Nunez successful the 2nd time around.

If he does come back, I hope he can redeem himself.

16 Jun 2026 06:55:09
Was that not a clause in Haalands contract? In fairnesss ye'd be looking at £200m for Haaland.

16 Jun 2026 08:15:19
Harvey elliott should be playing for Liverpool. True Liverpool inside and out are the kind of players we need. Give the lad a proper chance.
These bouaddi and diamondes are not going to work when the foundation of team is not right.
At the moment apart from vvd and jones do we have a player in that team that bleeds LFC like eliott and nunez used to! Like bobby used to? Like milner and hendo used to? Like robbo used to? That is what we are missing. You need 5-6 players in team that will do anything for the club and manager.

Sign a RB and proper DM ( not a kid with one excellent display) and close this window out with elliott and nunez on free. We desperately need strong characters that love this club inside out for all its rights and wrongs.
I could be wrong but i'd rather be wrong on free rather be wrong on 200M spent.

16 Jun 2026 10:03:00
As far as I can remember, Nunez got 1 red card for headbutting Anderson in his first home game. Emotions were high, and he got frustrated. It happens.

Other than that, though, how many other red cards did he get for you to say he's 'prone' to getting red cards?

16 Jun 2026 11:24:04
We might value Harvey at £30m, but Lille certainly don't. You'd be lucky if they knocked £15m off for him tbh. Seems we're desperate to offload a kid who had bags of potential. Would be better off bringing him back for a season to get his profile up before moving him on.

No more mickey mouse deals either, just a straight sale. We've put a massive dent in the poor kid's career with that stupid Villa deal.

Riosstepover, great headbutt.

16 Jun 2026 11:45:03
Riosstepover, why would we need proof when you can just spout absolute rubbish just to further tarnish a player.

17 Jun 2026 00:56:14
In all his time at Liverpool, Nunez used his head once and got sent off for it.
He was heralded as our Haaland, but we didn't know that it was Alf-Inge after that 'tackle' by Roy Keane.

15 Jun 2026 20:51:10
We are mulling Nunez’s return.

It’s not a cert, it’s not even being negotiated, but it’s very much an option.

Ta.

15 Jun 2026 21:33:03
He couldn't hit a barn door at times, but I could actually understand it as a depth option, especially if we sell Fede, for example.

@Carra, do you expect many incomings this summer?

I assume we are going by order of priority position, so first of all trying to sort out the wing option then moving depending on starting 11 order of priority?

Ken.

15 Jun 2026 21:36:06
If people had to choose out of signing one of these free signings, would it be Nunez or Vlahovic? Just curious.

15 Jun 2026 21:37:43
Get God to give him a crash course on finishing.

15 Jun 2026 21:42:30
A two year deal at his old wages of 140kpw is ideal imo. We haven't paid for him and make money if we sell him even if £10-15m.

15 Jun 2026 21:54:40
Iraola's Bournemouth played without a 20+ goals per year striker, but did have hard working high pressing strikers. Nunez fits this model.

15 Jun 2026 22:18:59
Mulling FC.

15 Jun 2026 22:22:30
Be interesting to see how he gets on with our new set up under Iraola.
At the very least, he's entertaining and we have been bored to death for too long.

15 Jun 2026 22:33:40
Love to bring him back. Less pressure, no transfer fee, Spanish coach, and can play left wing or back up striker.

15 Jun 2026 22:40:32
I'm not sure about this one. He was such a frustrating player. Klopp frequently picked others ahead of him and used to talk a lot about him needing to improve his pressing. He clearly has the physical tools to press like a monster. He just needs the other piece.

On the other hand, depending on the wages, on a free transfer, it could be a good option.

He would provide cover through the centre, but I think he could do well coming inside from left. He obviously has pace to burn and he's aggressive, which we lacked virtually all last season. If we could effectively swap him into the squad for Chiesa, that is an upgrade imo. I think I may have convinced myself in the process of writing this...

15 Jun 2026 22:54:15
Massive fan of him. Hope he comes back. He's a constant reminder of what damage stats do to the perception of players. I adored Kuyt when he played for us but I can't imagine the abuse the lad would have gotten in this day and age purely because he was simply average at finishing.

But what he brought in the rest of his game was immense. Darwin is energy and mayhem. Can't imagine any manager (apart from Slot) not seeing the value in him. Now, on the flipside, do think Salif Diao was an underrated gem that never got a real chance, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

15 Jun 2026 23:11:39
Perfect opportunistic signing for Hughes. Sold him for 60, got him back for nothing.

15 Jun 2026 23:20:37
I agree with aoe. I'd love to see him come back.

15 Jun 2026 23:41:21
Sorry. I must be getting old, and my memory must be going... Nunez... a pressing monster??? I didn't see him that way. And saying he was not able to hit a barn door is actually incorrect. He was the absolute master at hitting woodwork.

Ps comparing Kuyt to him. Please... Kuyt could finish.

15 Jun 2026 23:55:26
I'm in the bring Nunez back camp, however, after watching the first half of their opening WC game, I'm not so sure!

15 Jun 2026 23:57:24
I'm watching him for Uruguay right now. No thanks. Has everyone lost their minds and forgotten how dreadful a finisher he was? Let alone how often he drifted offside. I'm sure there are far better options.

16 Jun 2026 00:23:03
NoMoreBoom, appreciate your memory but I have to disagree and say Kuyt was a dodgy finisher at best. I love the lad- but finishing was absolutely not his strongest trait in my very humble opinion. But that wasn't the point of my post. My point was, statistically he was distinctly average number-wise, but wow- as a player for a team he was outstanding. He brought more than just finishing. And while I do not think they are the same players at all, my point is that stats today frequently mar what a player can bring beyond numbers.

But look- I'm old and I still remember when football was good and World Cups were something to enjoy and not something to be endured like this absolute horror show on TV right now- so there's really little point in taking what I say with any merit. Again- I can't believe nobody even jumped on my Salif Diao quote.

16 Jun 2026 00:24:51
And Carra, mate, thank you so much for the updates. They are so very welcomed.

16 Jun 2026 01:10:37
Nunez return? We must be mad. Utter s****.

15 Jun 2026 22:43:21
Madmax
You need a crash course in how to support your team. Nunez missed chances, all strikers do, but he was nowhere near as bad as you're trying to make out. 40 goals in 143 appearances is not bad, considering he didn't play the full game in a lot of them.

One thing I do know us that we haven't replaced what Nunez brought to the team, in his pressing, occupying defenders and creating space for others, Salah in particular.

16 Jun 2026 06:39:34
Statistically, he wasn't the best at finishing, but the guy actually hit a lot of goal posts and had some ridiculous saves made against him. I always felt he was unlucky to not get more. Besides that issue, he created a lot of chaos through his pace, energy and physicality, and was one of the few players we had that could change up a game.

I'd happily take him back as a backup striker/left wing over Gakpo and Chiesa.

16 Jun 2026 07:02:20
The return of Captain Chaos makes a lot of sense in the context of what the new manager may be looking for - "...if I have to choose between those two elements, organisation and chaos, I choose the chaos over the organisation."

16 Jun 2026 09:00:00
I get all the stress over Nunez's potential return, he gave me the horrors in the end too! But, for me, it's all about sorting your priorities.

We're talking about a temporary 2nd choice (soon to be 3rd choice) striker once Ekitike is fit. He's an international striker with a compatible style and work rate that potentially compliments the new manager's style.



If signing Darwin on a free leaves us with enough cash to be able to afford other more important additions like Diomande, Barcola, Wharton etc, then I'm right behind it.

Start looking elsewhere for a stand in striker, and you are potentially cutting your budget by at least £20-30m.

16 Jun 2026 09:10:10
Nunez was rubbish. He hasn't changed. Just nonsense to reemploy him.

16 Jun 2026 10:05:10
Salif Diao was terrible.
Carragher even encouraged him to sign for Everton!

16 Jun 2026 12:18:40
@aoe, So if you had a choice, peak Kuyt or Nunez, who would you pick? My point is not about Kuyt, it's about the fact that Nunez, for 90% of the time for us, was brutal. From very early days, I called him 'barn door'. After we sold him, he was so bad, in a poor league, that he got dropped from the entire squad. Last night was his first start for club and country in 4 months, and the entire team played better when he was hooked.

If that is not enough to convince you all that this would be a waste of money on wages, then think how lucky he was not to get a ban after he went into the crowd and started fighting people. Nunez to Liverpool? Seriously..... the best thing for us was the fee we got when we sold him. Need to pray this doesn't happen.

16 Jun 2026 19:14:33
90% is kind of a stretch.

16 Jun 2026 20:05:48
Nomoreboom, you talk utter s***. He never got dropped by Al Hilal because he was so bad, he was dropped because they had the opportunity to sign Benzema and the rules regarding foreign player quotas. If you're going to knock a player at least keep it factual

15 Jun 2026 19:01:41
So people were asking Romano about Nunez and he says his sources close to the player, National side and Liverpool say there is no chance at him returning at this moment in time. Goes on to say if it changes, he will let us know. Seems like someone who doesn't know and is guessing. Will trust Victor, Robbo and Carra first.

15 Jun 2026 20:10:54
'Here we go, Romano' is essentially rent a tweet for clubs and rarely breaks anything that isn't already well known. Rarely pay any attention to him anymore personally.

15 Jun 2026 20:50:45
This is the same Romano who kept saying we were keeping Arne Slot until about two hours before we announced his sacking, whilst Carra, Ned, Robbo, Thefields etc. were saying for months he was a gonner.

Romano may still have contacts in the game, but he plays ultra safe with his calls on things these days.

If Nunez is coming back, we won't get the "Here we go!" until he's sitting down at the press conference where his signing is announced.

As you say, he doesn't know.

15 Jun 2026 23:10:57
Fabrizio literally was saying Liverpool will have an end of season review. He never said Slot will stay. He was the first big journo to break the news of Slot being sacked.

16 Jun 2026 11:46:48
Keegans, so he's talking a whole lot, yet is saying nothing, essentially?

15 Jun 2026 17:15:02
I was chatting to Matt Smith about English midfielders vs cheaper European options.

Unprompted he messaged me 20 minutes ago that “he’s hearing Darwin is coming back, Lmfao!”

Embrace the madness!

15 Jun 2026 17:34:19
Vamooos!

15 Jun 2026 17:43:39
Great news, free player who can command a fee in a year or two if things don't work out, covering any wages he will be paid, or it could work out and he's still young enough for a sell on profit.
Win win win.
Happy dayz.

15 Jun 2026 18:04:58
How did Matt Smith know?

Maybe he used his TARDIS to have a peak into the future?

Will Darwin do well next season?

Which RB will we buy?

15 Jun 2026 18:05:23
Didn't "Matt Smith" also say Arne Slot was staying?

15 Jun 2026 18:37:33
He did say that Cookie Monster, he wasn't the only one though.

15 Jun 2026 18:52:41
Cookie Monster,

Many journalists were genuinely told Slot was staying right up to 24 hours before Arne was sacked, but check my posts, Matt did also tell me that FSG cannot ignore the noise/ common sense!

This is a rumours message board, football at the elite level are multi billion pound businesses so things change! Credit to the ITKs on here for being ahead of the curve!

Darwin isn't a done deal, but Matt had no reason to message me if it wasn't more plausible than we thought!

15 Jun 2026 19:05:33
His name, I follow a couple of content creators, and 3 weeks before the fraud was sacked, they had said and maintained Slot was outta here, and they never, ever wavered even during the "Oh, Slot is staying" hysteria.



Not saying you are wrong, but I am saying that people knew he was gone despite the whole hysteria. Mike Gordon must have had his cards very close to his chest.

15 Jun 2026 19:08:29
HNID...No need to explain yourself, mate.

Thanks for sharing your info...keep it coming, mate.

15 Jun 2026 19:32:19
That's exactly it, OliRed! I came back from the Brentford game fairly sure Arne was gone because of how he distanced himself from everything on the bench!

However, I won't piggyback on other people's information!

15 Jun 2026 19:54:06
Is that sniff?

15 Jun 2026 20:51:50
Who is Matt Smith?
Excuse my ignorance.

15 Jun 2026 21:32:55
Used to be Dr Who, Grino.

15 Jun 2026 22:23:54
I am Twitter mates with Matt Smith from TNT and occasionally LFC TV. That is the last time I am saying it LOL!

Glad Carra, Robbo and Vic back up what I was told earlier.

Not close, but a plausible "I heard"! I am surprised Edwards and Hughes would go there, to be honest, but it makes sense as a 3rd 9 who can cut in from the left if need be! Maybe they are looking to cash in their chips on Gakpo?

I asked Matt how likely it was, and I said Romano had played it down, but no response as yet!

Richard Hughes is meant to be going to the Saudi team that LFC sold Nunez to, right?

I would suspect Darwin has been discussed as a short term cover until Hugo is back?! 2 year deal or something.

15 Jun 2026 23:45:17
Only way Nunez comes back is to play RB. His shooting is like a cross, so that could work.

15 Jun 2026 16:53:03
Uruguayan journalist Juan Pablo Romero is claiming Darwin will sign for Liverpool after the World Cup, contract details yet to be finalised.

15 Jun 2026 17:51:34
He needs to polish that banjo, maybe Iraola can get him to hit that cow's arse. I am looking forward to it.

15 Jun 2026 20:28:34
Iraola will need to polish a turd. Never easy that.

15 Jun 2026 21:15:05
Really don't understand the hate Nunez gets. I would take him back any day. No, he's not a great finisher, but he scored several important goals for us, gave 100% every game, seems to genuinely love playing at the club.

Take him as an impact sub, cover for anywhere along the front line. Salah said he loved playing with him.

15 Jun 2026 22:08:03
@SA, You don't get the 'hate' because there isn't any. Personally, I don't rate him as a striker trying to play at the top level of the game. For me, his primary talent seems to be running about a lot and, I think we need more than that in a genuinely top CF.

I've never met the bloke, so can't comment on him as a person - he might be a really decent fella. I don't think he's a very good footballer but that's not a reason to 'hate' him or anybody else.

16 Jun 2026 14:15:25
@WDW, He climbed into the stand and started throwing punches... granted, he missed with all of them, which just highlights why we should not have him back. So I agree, not hate, just that it makes no sense at all.

15 Jun 2026 16:52:56
Sorry gents.

Forget to mention.

Liverpool may well be looking to triggering the release clause for Nico Schlotterbeck.

PSG are also in the mix, along with Real Madrid, but the options Madrid have I'd doubt it.

Cheers.

15 Jun 2026 17:25:10
I wouldn't mind that at all.

15 Jun 2026 17:33:28
Yes, would be happy with him, doesn't he have a clause allowing to leave for a reduced fee?

Anything on Palestra Robbo or Diomande?

Thanks.

15 Jun 2026 17:45:48
Looks good in the air from watching my first World Cup game last night, well, half hour of it till I switched off.
Can't wait for the WC to be done + new prem season to start !!!

15 Jun 2026 17:47:13
This would be a necessary move in my eyes, we may be well stacked with talented young CBs, but they're still very young. A proper senior CB would be ideal. Bastoni or Schlotterbeck, either I would be happy with.

We need somebody who can seamlessly take the reins from Virgil. Waiting to replace him in a year's time is far too risky imo. Bringing them in this year gives them time to assimilate whilst learning from the best.

15 Jun 2026 17:52:57
Was about to post saying we should activate it. Isn't it like £50m, which is a bargain? A left footed lcb.

15 Jun 2026 18:32:35
If we sign Schlotterbeck, does that mean that VVD leaves this season?

Both will be starting CBs, unless VVD moves to RCB.

15 Jun 2026 19:02:41
JLC, I asked that question of Ed001 a few days ago. He suggested that if we signed a peak LCB that Virgil may just be phased out.

Looking at our options, Jacquet will be coming in - albeit will need preseason given his shoulder injury in Feb.

Leoni is only due back now and will need some time to get up to speed given the nature of his injury.

I think Schlotterbeck and Virg (if Nico came in) would be a starting partnership, but that would mean Virg going RCB potentially.

15 Jun 2026 19:48:21
Virgil would play ahead of Schlotterbeck. Still a top centreback.

15 Jun 2026 16:38:54
Afternoon Gents.

I see reports of Nunez returning, I've been told this isn't as clear cut as some people may think.

Is it a possibility?

Probably/maybe.

But I've been told it's doubtful at this time.

Another update is Diomande is progressing well, just a case of numbers.

Cheers.

15 Jun 2026 17:19:05
Cheers, Robbo.

15 Jun 2026 17:25:10
Cheers, Robbo.
Let's hope it is a case of numbers and he signs. He looked direct and strong in yesterday's game.

15 Jun 2026 17:48:38
Robbo, you're breaking hearts here, mate, thanks anyway.

15 Jun 2026 17:54:35
Crunch them numbers and please get him signed!

15 Jun 2026 17:55:45
Why don't we utilise Danns or Will Wright.

I know they have had injuries, but if we have a Gakpo or player who can play across the line as 2nd choice, one of the 2 could easily be 3rd.

15 Jun 2026 18:07:39
Danns and Wright don't have the pace.

15 Jun 2026 16:07:04
Hi all,

Darwin Nunez has informed his Uruguay teammates that he is Merseyside bound.

15 Jun 2026 16:39:57
The blue side, perhaps.

15 Jun 2026 16:44:05
Cheers, VG.

I shamelessly love the madman!

15 Jun 2026 16:44:26
Tranmere getting a decent player.

15 Jun 2026 16:46:04
Good business.

15 Jun 2026 16:49:46
I'm not sure I'm ready for that kind of hurt again...

Darwin could be sublime one minute and a total clown show the next.

No idea how he's done at Saudi tbh.

15 Jun 2026 16:54:59
I really don't mind if we are getting him back with low wages and a short contract. Good to be the backup before Ekitike fully back, especially, I believe, we will sell Gakpo.

15 Jun 2026 16:55:19
Nunez for prez.

15 Jun 2026 17:02:55
Never a dull moment while he's on the pitch.
Can't help but like the lad. Hope Iraola can work wonders with him.

15 Jun 2026 17:04:43
He's the kind of character we need, tbh, squandered a lot of chances but I think for a cheap price and lower wages, it's a fantastic deal.

15 Jun 2026 17:05:52
Thank you for the news, Victor

Are you coming back with a pay cut?

And what's going on with the other targets?

15 Jun 2026 17:26:08
Love Nunez, will be great to have him back.

15 Jun 2026 17:58:29
Love Darwin, made up if he comes back.

15 Jun 2026 19:09:37
Depends on his wages. I'd take him at £40k per week max. Otherwise it's a multi-million pound punt.

15 Jun 2026 19:17:23
Ngumhoa gets paid more than that, Ron. 😂

15 Jun 2026 19:28:44
He's not a charity case, Ron. £150k a week, more like it. Considering we got a big fee for him and could get another fee if he leaves, that seems reasonable. Yes, he missed chances, but what striker doesn't. I saw Isak miss plenty for Newcastle.

We have missed what Nunez provided in other areas. With Iraola's style of play, rotation will be essential, otherwise we will suffer late-season burn-out. The more forwards we have, the better the options off the bench, and that is crucial.

15 Jun 2026 20:16:54
He replaces Chiesa who's on 150k per week.

15 Jun 2026 20:56:05
Then it's a "no" from me. He's not worth £7.5m per year in wages.

15 Jun 2026 22:11:53
If the only reason we want him back is because he's cheap, we shouldn't be bringing him back.

15 Jun 2026 15:04:52
Hello all,

The club's main efforts are on Diomande, still with plenty of work to do on the legal complexities and overall package with RBL.

The club wanted it done last week, but issues kept popping up which I’m not going into detail on.

In the meantime, LFC are also mulling over a deal to re-sign Darwin Nunez on a free transfer.

Bouaddi is someone we’ve tracked for a long time, difficult deal as he’ll have his pick of the clubs.



Adam Wharton still liked along with Alex Scott. I suspect a deal isn’t too difficult to conclude for either (would be one of not both).

Whilst the World Cup is on, I wouldn’t put guarantees on anything transfer wise; it’s extremely tough as valuations go up and down like stocks and shares.

Busy time to be an agent.

Ta

15 Jun 2026 15:22:59
Thanks for the update, Carra.

15 Jun 2026 15:25:04
Thank you, Carra.

15 Jun 2026 15:27:46
Hope we don't sign Nunez. Rubbish.

15 Jun 2026 15:27:52
Is right, Carra, hopefully they don't mull over Darwin for too long, get it done yosser.

15 Jun 2026 15:29:07
Excellent Carra, much appreciated.

I know people have their reservations, but I think Darwin would be excellent cover for the upcoming season for lw and cf. Isak won't be able to play 90 mins of every game, and Ekitike is injured.

Darwin being able to cover the left is a massive bonus too.

I know he misses more than he should, but I'd rather a player who can get into those positions than someone who is anonymous all match. On a free transfer, I don't see who else is better?

15 Jun 2026 15:29:37
It's gonna be a tough time on here if we have to wait until the end of the World Cup before we see some transfer action haha.

15 Jun 2026 15:39:45
Wharton and Scott are way too expensive for what they are, it's just English tax, and neither of them remotely fix the issues we have in midfield.

15 Jun 2026 15:40:26
Always love a Carra update!
The World Cup does mess everything up a little bit.
Patience will be needed for now, and the first few months of the season!

15 Jun 2026 15:48:32
Nunez on a free, great imo, I'd take him for his work rate and defending from the front. He annoys defenders and he's still got pace..... there's worse out there!!

15 Jun 2026 15:54:28
I'd love Nunez to come back. He was a cult hero and if he came back on a free transfer, the pressure of being a big money signing is gone and he comes back as a loveable back up striker in the Divock Origi mould. Origi was not a great player either, but we damn well loved him to bits all the same!

15 Jun 2026 15:56:38
I remember wanting us to move on from Darwin last season, so long as an adequate replacement was found, and I think on paper we did that, although once we got Ekitike and the Isak deal looked like it was going to be well overpriced (which it was by about 30-40m), I thought it was probably best to actually keep Nunez as cover for Ekitike and just bringing in a top LW, I actually think that would have maybe ended up working out better for us, but it’s all hypothetical.

We got a decent-ish fee for Nunez and I think it was the best move for us to move on from him. Now, him returning on a free is a different ball game, especially with Ekitike and Isak being injury prone. I think it is a no brainer, so long as this means we move on from the likes of Gakpo and Chiesa (with Salah already gone). I think at that point it makes sense for us to bring in 1-2 top wide forwards and we are set in the attack, which imo massively downgraded from the season we won the league. Nunez is a different prospect under Iraola, he’ll still be clumsy and miss chances but from a business stand point he makes so much more sense than paying £40m for a back up striker that doesn’t have the same numbers as Nunez, or relying on Isak and Ekitike to stay fit and start every game, or god forbid Gakpo through the middle.



This is coming from someone that was desperate to move on from him as well, the transfer makes sense, so long as we get another 1-2 to bolster the attack, which we look poised to do unless we dilly dally like we did with the likes of Semenyo. 2 of Diamonde, Barcola or Bowen (cheaper alternative with PL experience and an English player I think we need more of in the team personally) would vastly improve our attack with Gakpo, Chiesa and Salah leaving.

Also on the midfield front, I agree with VV, neither Wharton or Scott fix our issues in midfield, unless one is brought in as a Macca replacement, and we still intend on getting a certified DM. A DM that can play that fast intense Iraola style should be a priority for the midfield, as talented as Wharton is, I’m not sure he’ll thrive in that style, unless he turns into Hendo somehow.

Also means funds can go elsewhere, and Darwin won't expect to be a starter. We do need cover for Isak, and Hugo is out for next season pretty much. Danns is not reliable.

15 Jun 2026 16:01:06
Darwin on a free is a no brainer.
Get his shots sorted and could bang a few in this season.
Rotate him with Isak.

15 Jun 2026 16:06:49
Darwin for free is a no brainer.
Knows the place, knows the league, knows what it means to play for Liverpool.
He misses more than he scores, but he gets himself, somehow, more chances. I am sure Isak is an upgrade from him, but I am not sure about Ekitike, who has a long-term injury anyway.



Darwin plus Diomande, and if we move on Gakpo, one more attacker, we should be fine.

I think we still need a proper DM in the mold of Rice, and someone who can hit fast/long passes.
I am quite disappointed in Wirtz, to be honest...

15 Jun 2026 16:08:52
Darwin and Diomande would be a good double signing. Then add a cm and rb!

15 Jun 2026 16:09:01
Cheers, Carra.

15 Jun 2026 16:13:27
Cheers for update, Carra.

I'd take Darwin in a heartbeat on a free, hardly injured and works his socks off. Yes he could score more but imagine him under Iraola. Think it could be a very clever signing!

15 Jun 2026 16:13:37
Thanks for the update, Cara.

Will Diomande still have a high chance of being recruited?

And does the midfielder target count as 2 of Wharton, Scott, and Vuadi?

I'm also curious about the target of the right running back.

Thank you always.

15 Jun 2026 16:16:41
Yes Darwin!! Not a clue what you just said, but I love it!

15 Jun 2026 15:28:31
Thanks Carra mate. Much appreciated. To be honest your and Robbo's updates are much more interesting than the farce that is going on called the World Cup.

I for one do like the idea of Nunez back on a free. Will bring the necessary bite to the team which was lacking last year. Also with Ekitike injured till may be end of this year, and then could take a few months to get match fit, we cannot rely on Isak alone. Nunez would look like a shrewd buy back, as he was also a fan favourite.

Ed, What are your thoughts on this news?

Cheers!

15 Jun 2026 16:28:23
It's a yes to Nunez from me, especially given that Ekitike could miss all of next season - we could shell out £50m to replace him or £0m. Feels like a no brainer.

I have to wonder how different last season may have gone had we kept Nunez.

We were barely ever a handful in attack last season, I know he missed lots of chances, but he did cause (sorry) quite a bit of chaos amongst defenders, and that may have helped us turn some draws into wins.

Give the lad another go, I say!

15 Jun 2026 16:31:39
Whatever you make of the player, selling him for £50M and resigning him 12 months later on a free is not bad business. Only stumbling block for me would be the wages. He'd be great cover whilst Hugo recovers, but we can't be giving him Saudi wages, even with the free transfer.

15 Jun 2026 17:05:56
I did read on a website, can't remember which, a few weeks back, that he changed agents last season, and the agent he left is not too happy about it and wanted to be involved in the deal.

15 Jun 2026 17:13:06
Nice one, Carra. An exciting summer ahead by the sounds of it.

15 Jun 2026 17:20:35
Cheers Carra.

15 Jun 2026 17:55:44
Thanks, Carra and Robbo, for providing rays of light as usual. We need one of these signings to come off now.

15 Jun 2026 18:57:46
Love to see Darwin back, great attitude, works hard and will be good cover whilst Hugo gets fit as well and then rotation, seems great but of business in my eyes.

15 Jun 2026 19:46:42
The fact Nunez had language barriers first time around wouldn't have overly helped communications with Klopp... Iraola being a native Spanish speaker may prove to be a help if Nunez does come back?

Could never fault his attitude, work ethic or application. A faster paced game under Iraola may play more to his instinctive nature... hopefully anyway!
