Virgil is right. Not naming names but some former Reds trafficking "insights" in the media are only collaborators of the regime.
Not extremely smart recommendation engine.

Great update on the #LFC women's team from Josh Sexton @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @pippa35.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @emsandersbbc.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy & Lauren Black. Loads of context on what's happened with the squad this season that I wasn't aware of. I'm much more positive about the rest of the season than before.

Yeah it's curious, but they're never gonna see a cut of that.
We might as well loan him for $0 to friendly clubs if it needs be.
🚨 EXCL: Liverpool to pay max £6.8m for signing of Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea. Tribunal rules #LFC owe #CFC initial £2.8m + £4m in potential bonuses relating to senior appearances, contracts & England honours. Also 20% of profit on future sale @TheAthleticFC https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7024393/2026/02/05/rio-ngumoha-liverpool-chelsea-fee/
Never mind. Chelsea will never see that 20% and that kind of money is peanuts for the services of a top striker.
And Rio is going to score two when he goes to Stamford Bridge too.

Of course the Premier League and the Ligue 1 are not the same thing, and they're completely different challenges, but the ascendant curve of a player's progress still matters a lot directionally.
Here's a comparison of Marc Guehi vs what Jeremy Jacquet is expected to bring to Liverpool.

Answering Unconformed's question: yes FSG have written off this season in terms of silverware.
But a fourth-place finish and UCL money are so very important to FSG financially that any and every move we see from here to the end of the season will only make sense under that light.
Therefore, I don't believe that the signing of Jacquet is ONLY about life after VVD like Unconformed fears. I think Jacquet's signing is about BOTH a 4th place finish, and the future.
It seems that Mac Guehi's signing only made sense earlier, before we started accumulating GA, and it only made sense whilst the asking price was low.
The theory was then that Guehi would have been able to make an instant impact to stop hemorrhaging GA.
But that boat has already sailed, the mistake of not signing a CB has been acknowledged, and I think that Jacquet is not only seen as someone who will have an impact in the future, but as someone who can make an impact today, quick.

Is it me or Marie Höbinger is catching a Scouse accent? 🤣
Comeback. Ekitike finding his right foot at least, literally.
hahaha Alice has the good stuff before Pearce does! 🤣
Oh whoa Liverpool. You turn around and the moment you're not looking they sign a professional centre-back! 🤣
