Highly recommend taking a second to read this players tribune article written by Diomande about his late sister. Heartbreaking and makes me want him to be a Red with huge success even more!

In!

New faces expected in attack. Some new defenders. Hopefully some of the young CBs step up.

Still need more bodies at several positions.

Looking forward to a more aggressive style.

An intense Liverpool squad is a competitive Liverpool squad.

Fully expect us to start slower with less chemistry because of new signings and World Cup absences, but this team should be MUCH improved over last season.

IN - I’m excited to see how the new coach changes the team. Bournemouth was a fun team to watch last year.

I hope Wirtz switches to a new gear this season and unlocks our offense.

It is incredible what my excitement level is with AI is and what it would be playing the Dutch game. I think we are in for a big year and that little Fabhino trick we just pulled with Vic has me nostalgic.

Is the Yan Diomande dream over now that PSG is set to bid for him?

Rumors on ESPN of Wirtz potentially moving to Chelsea. I’ll be disappointed if he leaves after one season.

Are we hoping Gakpo continues to play well to increase his market value?

Any other outgoing players this year? Likely Jones, Endo, Gomez, and Chiesa.

What is the status of Bajcetic?

With Kavra, Dembele, Barcola and Doue... I just dont see wing as a need for them.. especially at the price, but who knows...

I would have to imagine all other things roughly equal, the player would feel he can step immediately into Mo's spot in the line up...

I hope.. would love to replace him with someone who can play more centrally with Hugo likely lost for the season... We've been linked to Matias Fernandez-Pardo who can play left or through the middle..

I think now is the time to sell Macca if we have a suitable offer...

Anticipate that we’re gonna be seeing a lot of links to Barcola now


Not sure how I feel about signing a left winger who can play on the right. I want someone who is naturally a right winger. That was why the idea of Diomande had me excited

That's surprising considering how stacked PSG is with wingers/AM type players... Oh well, something has to give there if they do sign him...

I like Barcola.. However, I think there are many more options out there for the LW, than the RW.. Perhaps we can situationally use Dom, Rio and Munoz on the right...

I'm worried about Isak being our only option up top, because I dont know when Hugo will be back... Gakpo sucks as a #9

As much as I hate that Netherlands and Germany are out, glad that our guys will get as much time as possible in camp with the new coach.

Sweden soon to follow and Ali with Brazil doesnt need as much time with new system as field players.


Reading PSG are saying Barcola isn’t transfer listed and they don’t need to sell anyone. Don’t see how they’ll keep the many attackers happy.
