Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I'd be okay with that. But we've left ourselves no time and the fact he just signed the deal suggests they see him as the future. Think it ends in tears. 000
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The absolute state of Liverpool's transfer strategy. Whole thing needs to be gutted. 130
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Feels it a bit. I do wonder if they're using certain links to hurry other ones along? 000
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Close the transfer window now. Can't be arsed with it. 010
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I wonder if Liverpool are stuck on their valuation of just above the €100m or will they seek a compromise in between that and what PSG want? Would they go to say €130m inclusive of add ons? It'll likely take something like that. 000
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Even factoring in the logic that they didn't want to commit to a permanent deal to keep pathways clear for the young CBs, I still think this helps them add real quality in the final third and failure to do so would be a real disappointment. 000
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Is it wrong to have slightly greater expectations for signings in other areas now that we've decided to save money by loaning a defensive option? If we don't go big in the forward line now I'll be more inclined to just believe the money wasn't available, which is a concern. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Big boy is Ronnie. He's definitely grabbing at least one red card for us in this loan year. 250
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 10/08/2026The next group that took over from FSG were always going to be a bigger gang of cunts than them. Anyone that could afford the club and keep the lights on didn't get their money from baking cookies. 1102
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Yeah. Definitely a factor. If there's no threat then they'll inevitably squeeze you. The fall off in quality is striking. We need to spend money. No getting around it. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 09/08/2026How much of it is fitness? How much is the standard of the players available? How much is a manager needing to adapt to this level? There are certain things you can get away with at Bournemouth that won't fly at Liverpool. We'll see. Keeping expectations low. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Some nice moments in the first half but plenty of work to do on and off the pitch. Far from convincing defensively. Not just in the second half where we basically capitulated but also in the first where we looked too porous for my liking. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Very encouraging. Lots to love. Can start to imagine how much better it gets when you add more quality and match sharpness. Still have concerns over that midfield two. Not offering much protection to that defence. 200
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I'm still reeling from having the first Liverpool manager younger than me. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Arsenal probably feel they only need to add a few to tighten their grip on the title so can afford to splash £75m on a soon to be 29 year old midfielder. He's a good player but this feels a bit mad. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026It's bizarre to me that the Wharton noise is so quiet and no offers from other clubs either. 010
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026What is nice is the last 3 deals came from absolutely nowhere. So it offers some hope for the rest of the window. 150
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Yeah. Probably. Definitely a squad devoid of grown ups. 010
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Araujo is a warm body though so that's better than what we have right now. Wonder if the manager has had any influence here? Either way I hope Jacquet and Leoni come back soon enough so we have options. 111
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Our record with these stop gap loan types is abysmal so I'm not enthusiastic if I'm honest. Liverpool are either broke, constrained severely by SCR or putting their funds into other areas. 111
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I see Rangers lost 2-1 to Nathan Lane's character in The Producers. 000
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Given the talent and experience drain this Summer I'd have to say this is slightly underwhelming. Too many prospects, not enough proven quality. I'm guessing this is where they hope Iraola can bridge the gap. 020
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I'm fine with all those players signing for Liverpool. Leaves us short though. Not signing another CB means we would need to get very lucky throughout the season. Feels like a disaster waiting to happen. Also not sure who they see as the candidate to be Isak's understudy? 230
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Jacquet unlikely to make the Monaco game. No chance he's available at Newcastle. Liverpool need to get their shit together and sign a senior centre half. Enough fucking about. 130
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Probably just posturing but Joycey not overly positive on Barcola. Valuations are very far apart. 200
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I've been saying similar about Joe Gomez for 2 seasons. I think they've proven they're more than capable of leaving us short. 010
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I think it'll be much improved from last season obviously. We'll start to enjoy it again. But I can't see a title challenge and I think top 4 will be tricky. From the moment we won the title it imploded. Mostly our own doing, but also just unavoidable tragedy. Feels like a 2017 Liverpool again. 010
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Yeah. That put an immediate dampener on it for me. Even if we get the bodies we're linked with right now I wouldn't be overly optimistic. Profiles feel a bit off and there's a general sense we've downgraded in most positions we've had to replace over the past 12 months. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I didn't realise he was already 28. I can't think of another homegrown type. Would likely have to be from abroad. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Yep. Praying for a hybrid because I think two just feels like something they wouldn't do. Watching the pennies and non HG quota top of mind. A fit, reliable Gomez the ideal option funnily enough. 200
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 05/08/2026If Gomez had a good injury record most people wouldn't be asking for reinforcements. He'd sort right back in the short term and would be great alongside Virgil until the other two find their feet. That's not a world we live in. I cannot believe they're going to do nothing. 120
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I find it staggering that they're willing to undermine another season by pretending Gomez is a viable option rather than just a bonus 5th choice if fit. That's just intentionally negligent. 130
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Tim foil hat on. Seems a bit of a coincidence that the official club site runs this story on Leoni today in the wake of a 48 hours where people have been pretty irate over reports that Liverpool won't be adding defensive options. 260
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 04/08/2026So Mbaye instead of Minteh. Wish it wasn't another kid but if he's good enough he's old enough I guess. Still feels like a rebuild now. Won't expect too much from this season. 010
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I think Gakpo definitely goes. Hadn't even thought about Elliott, which I suppose tells its own story. I guess he could maybe be a Wirtz back up? That's about it for me. No interest in seeing him play wide right. Suspect he stays because nobody moves for him. Otherwise he'd be off too. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Barcola, Rio, Isak, Wirtz, Munoz, Minteh with Ekitike to return. I think I'd probably deal on that given I don't think they're going to sign a central option. They'll just have to find a temporary Isak back up from one of them. It's not ideal but that's where they've left us. 200
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 04/08/2026That's all I've really got to say on it. It would be a risk. It probably wouldn't be "cheap". But the market is poor and we can't afford to wait. He's the only one where I can see a potential upside. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I see the Minteh link is floating around again. Fwiw he would be my choice of a right sided winger in a market that's not especially exciting. Firstly, it's actually his favoured position. Secondly he's still young enough to go up a level in the right hands. I think Iraola could be the right coach. 121
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I think there's a fair chance this fella hasn't got a clue but if he happens to guess correctly then I think you can forget about the title. Top 4 might be tough. 110
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 02/08/2026They could be brilliant and I hope they are but they literally need to be the absolute elite for their age group for this to look good. They're only a year or two older than the lads that finished that game today. 100
Taffin @calvlyfeson.bsky.social · 02/08/2026That's entirely on the club and their mismanagement of the behind the scenes stuff and awful succession planning. No Slot to hide behind now. 020
