Daily Discussion & Transfer Thread (April 24, 2026)

Don’t think I could name a single player if I was asked who’s the best player in the world post 2022. I think Harry might be my answer if things go Bayerns way in the CL and England go the final.

We were never well ran like a Liverpool but till 2023 I would have ranked it say a 6/10, some obviously bad transfers like Doherty and Emerson, some positions neglected here and so, but still it wasn’t this bad. Even the most infamous window of 2013, we got Eriksen who is a top 5 player for us in the PL era, Lamela and Chadli turned out decent subs, and we made our money back on Paulinho. 2019 sucked but there was at least a sane rationale by going for Ndombele and Lo Celso regardless of how they panned out.

Now we have fully regressed to Everton 2016 0/10 territory where even if you give them all the money the likes of Kehl/Lange/Vinai will make the most dumbest decision know to mankind, even if we somehow stay up. As seen by the fact they signed Conor Gallagher who was never required or the fact that instead of signing a left back who can compete with Udogie, they see 2026 Andy Robertson as an alternative.

Even if we stay up, this is the time to bring in a bunch of new players and fresh blood who can reinvigorate the squad. But instead we all know we will keep a lot of the same players pretending a 29 year old Maddison (whose injury health was never the best even before his ACL) and a 26 year old Kulusevski (whose injury is so rare that even doctors are trying to diagnose what it is) will save our seasons

Another weekend of massive anxiety – we need to win and if we don’t it’s not technically over but basically we are done.

I’m just too worried that Forest, Leeds and West Ham all look quite good at the moment, have been winning and don’t have horrendous fixtures

I will be in Dornbirn, Austria tomorrow. Is there a place I can watch the Spurs game ? Like a pub or something ?

Wonder how big of a role this year being a World Cup year played in our crash.
Don’t get me wrong – we were garbage, but having a starting 11 of internationals, most of which were not 100% guaranteed to go to the World Cup with their team (bar a few players like Romero etc.) surely played a role on top of vinai, lange, thomas frank, injuries.
It felt like we lost on every single gameweek before international break this season and I’m so worried that this might this will actually be the final nail in the coffin as well now that WC is in 2 months and players will have that on back of their minds trying to avoid injuries etc.
Players that are most likely going as of today and are still crucial part of fighting to stay up:

* Richarlison
* Bentacur
* Micky
* Simons
* Porro
* Pallinha
* Kolo Muani (?)
* Solanke
* Spence
* Sarr
* Danso

That’s like most of the squad and we need them to roll in the mud and put the body on the line to stay up but they have this distraction which is also understandable as it can be once in a lifetime / last time some of them can feature there.

Annoyingly, one the biggest games in our club’s history and it’s not on TV.

Again an absolute must win game to even think about staying in the division. Although with Lange staying and that sporting director from dortmund arriving I worry we will be in the exact same spot next season.

just seen vicarios supposedly part of that prostitution ring in italy, this club is an absolute circus

I doubt RDZ will allow it, but I well and truly hope that we disrespect Wolves tomorrow. We just have to.

Three points is vital.
