If we sign both CB targets i’d be ok with loaning out Leoni to let him develop. Not likely to get much game time as 4th choice. But of course we should have a recall clause just in case. I have a feeling Konate won't extend his contract. I genuinely think Guehi will take his first 11 spot within a couple of months. He's a much more composed player, that's before you factor in he will now be playing with Virg.

Is carra becoming more and more of a bell-end? Talking about how he’s not fussed if Isak signs or not cos of his behaviour. And that Liverpool should not be spending 80m on a back up (ekitike). He played in a time when we only had 1 or 2 world class players in the team - we weren’t competing with the big boys in those days in regard to transfers. But currently we are one of the best run clubs in the world - with one of the biggest revenues. With recent PL and CL wins. Isak - arguably the best striker in the league - is exactly the level we should be signing. And i even expect us to go very big for a Van Dijk replacement within the next year or two. He is on the corporate line that you have to condemn players for making a fuss. Exactly - just see who signs his pay checks to see what Carra believes

I have a feeling Konate won't extend his contract. There hasn’t been talk of selling Konate though, so Leoni would still be 4th choice. On another note, is there any point keeping joe gomez around? it's true, but if the plan is to not have Konate next year, Leoni could get more minutes

Just read this on the Premier League website.
'Premier League clubs cannot loan to another Premier League club a player they have acquired in the same transfer window.'
We can't buy and then loan Leoni to another PL club in the same transfer window, assume it would be fine in January as it's a different window.

Kudus as a dedicated DM?  I think he is a better DM than an AM and we already have our fill of AMs I do tend to agree, I think Kudus has all the ability to be one of the best DM's in the world.

Joyce says we likely value Guehi at about £30million plus add-ons. Pump the brakes!

He's probably the best dribbler in the league, excellent ball carrier.

At least the league ended their affiliation with Stonewall... Why is that a good thing? Didn't say that it was although I read something about them not possibly being very good trans allies.

Taken from an Oliver Kay article on the Athletic, which included a look at all spending in the premier league this summer so far, but I wanted to just look at the rich list from the big clubs.
Premier League clubs' purchases and sales in the 2025 summer transfer window. Liverpool and Chelsea have been the biggest spenders in the window thus far. Liverpool have spent £252.2m, while Chelsea have spent £240.2m. All fees converted from EUR to GBP at prevailing rate. Reported transfer fees only – agent fees and transfer levies not included Source:Transfermarkt
Premier League transfer fees spent and received,
Liverpool: Spent - £252.2m Received - £168.6m
Chelsea: Spent - £240.1m Received - £205.7m
Manchester United: Spent - £197.2m Received - £0.0m

Could make the purchase from a year today though, paperwork complete with the loan agreed in advance

Guehi is a no brainer, premier league experience , international experience, solid, sensible signing, Helps with the "Home Grown" quota too. Bet Palace are kicking themselves they didn't accept the £70m in January Like us not accepting the Saudi money for Nunez in January

The PL ended it because of a few babies offended by coloured laces and armbands so the PL bottled it for their brand over people. For the god squad lot give them the option whether to or not.

Game time assurances for Guehi could be a bit of an obstacle. Can't see him starting over Konate. Tell him he’ll play a lot of games. If it turns out not to be true what exactly is he going to do? Skip the company BBQ and break his rental lease - that’ll show em

Romano saying we’ve agreed personal terms with Guehi and Leoni is keen on move On side note, didn’t Guehi go off injured Sunday Nice~ finally some real movements instead of everyday Newcastle's Korean soap dramas.

Jack Grealish to Everton is the biggest transfer story of the day, apparently. Blues are now going to celebrate winning the transfer window. Beats celebrating a corner I suppose. Or injuring Virgil or Thiago or Origi

I think Leoni and Chiesa could form a firm and long lasting friendship I think this would be worthwhile. Like the time we kept Suarez around for an extra year to help Coates settle in.

Apparently they have some sort of special credit line with an amount of credit for there club which they can use.
I dont fully get how thats possible and how PSR is not applicable to this but apparently thats the reason they can spend money.

What I like about Leoni is all his pics look like he’s about to kick some ass. Imagine when he can grow a beard, no one will want to go near him! He's huge! Let him room with Ali for away games - he’ll look like a werewolf by osmosis after a few weeks

I honestly thought he got Kudus and Baleba mixed up at first, not sure now.
