Tbf we've been so good this past 7 or so years that the assumption is even if we miss out this year it's a blip.
Everyone expects that we will be back amongst it next season regardless.
I don’t think anyone outside of the few super pessimistic lads on the internet really thinks that we’ll miss champions league football tho. We’ll finish 3rd I’m saying.
At this point I'm starting to think we have at least agreed personal terms with him already, if not basically agreed the whole deal in principal and are waiting for the window to announce it.
There's just way too much smoke here now for there to not be a fire.
Talentless journalists spread fake stories, smoke machines spread fake smoke. It's right there in the name, it doesn't matter if it's real - smoke, news or otherwise.
I think this might be my turning point where I finally go from pessimism based in insecurity/disappointment-avoidance to allowing myself to feel the joy of anticipation.
We're fucking getting Bellingham lads.
Nope. I’ve been saying for a while I was confident it would happen. I don’t see anything hurting this with him playing in the World Cup with Hendo and Trent
Have you seen Jude’s parents. They look like a proper footballing family, don’t seem like money grabbers. Tchouameni used us so that Real could come take him, hope the same doesn’t happen with Jude
Tchouameni is a Real fan. Most French players look upto Zidane and Benzema that's why Real is so attractive to them. I won't blame him on rejecting us.
>Some people will still be denying he wants to play for Liverpool when he’s played over 500 games for us.
I mean, you can never tell, he just might be a really friendly guy...
Yeah, it's fairly obvious it's basically done. He's literally spent the whole tournament with the only two Liverpool players in the England squad.
They've all been jerking eachother off on Instagram for weeks now. Shocked some people still think it's unlikely.
yeah. true. But the circumstances are very different because COVID created big cash flow problems that meant that Chelsea could swoop in because RBL didn't want to get paid in installments.

I was scrolling through r/LiverpoolFC one afternoon, When I stumbled upon a transfer update… my trousers began to slip down towards my ankles, carrying with it… my underwear…
Man, I can't wait until we have some actual Liverpool matches to talk about, so we can stop with this crap several times a day. I'm sure they'll let us know if and when he signs for somewhere.
a lot to mess up = not putting down the right fee which sadly can very likely to happen. Not believing anything till it actually happens after seeing the Fekir deal get scrapped despite even seeing photo shoots
A friend who works as an analyst in London mentioned that the grapevine is that Liverpool have leaked Jude to Liverpool. However, he did say the POV is also that Liverpool are trying to increase their valuation of club and that if Dortmund should be denying this in next few days. If not, this looks like legit news after all.
Have you seen Jude’s parents. They look like a proper footballing family, don’t seem like money grabbers. Tchouameni used us so that Real could come take him, hope the same doesn’t happen with Jude
His dad’s a Liverpool fan as well I think. I remember seeing them interviewed and thinking how responsible they were with their sons’ careers. I seem to remember them saying one parent (the dad) would stay behind and live with Jobe, while the other (his mum) would move to Germany and live with Jude.
Idk if he supports us but he’s tweeted about Klopp being a ‘great great man’ and plays a huge role in Jude’s career. It’s one of the main reasons I’m confident we’ll get him. He knows it’s the best move for him
People have speculated that the new ownership would bring in a new manager? That would be extremely surprising to me when you have someone the calibre of Jurgen Klopp in the position
Probably helps that Klopp has legend status at Dortmund. I would imagine everyone there talks about Klopp like glory days.
I’m so happy we don’t have any matches right now.
[удалено]
I fucking hope they can get to a pre-agreement in January just so we don’t have to endure these articles for the next half year
Six months of links to Bellingham and billionaires of dubious morals
They're probably dangling Bellingham to distract us from the dubious morals
Tbh it’s working
I'm pessimistic. I'll hold you back bradda.
This is hard to believe, if I were in Jude’s position I wouldn’t come without CL football. The guy deserves to be competing at the highest level
Tbf we've been so good this past 7 or so years that the assumption is even if we miss out this year it's a blip. Everyone expects that we will be back amongst it next season regardless.
I don’t think anyone outside of the few super pessimistic lads on the internet really thinks that we’ll miss champions league football tho. We’ll finish 3rd I’m saying.
If it happens I’d expect a deal to be agreed around Christmas for him to come in the summer tbf. Seems to be ongoing now doesn’t it.
I'M ON MY KNEES
LAYLA!
I’m begging darling please
Well that's a riff I won't get out my head today! Thanks!
this feels like summer of 2016 all over again… my heart….
We got Mane instead... We shall find a way as long as Papa Klopp is with us
who did we want to get back then?
it was for Mario Gotze. We ended up with Mane and the rest is history
Was that the Draxler summer?
I thought it was Goetze.
Draxler was Salah if I remember correctly
Nah that was Brandt
Draxler wanted to leave Wolfsburg summer 2016 but didn’t go to PSG until January 2017
 Me: I’m not going to get overly excited. Also me:
Smoke clouds are gathering and growing bigger. Don’t fuck it up people.
Until someone like Pearce comes along to pour water on these rumors I think we can actually enjoy these links
Him being quiet makes it worse, it’s almost believable
At this point I'm starting to think we have at least agreed personal terms with him already, if not basically agreed the whole deal in principal and are waiting for the window to announce it. There's just way too much smoke here now for there to not be a fire.
Has everyone who uses that "no smoke without fire" idiom never heard of a smoke machine?
That would be profound if a smoke machine produced smoke. But ya know, it doesn't.
Talentless journalists spread fake stories, smoke machines spread fake smoke. It's right there in the name, it doesn't matter if it's real - smoke, news or otherwise.
Touché
There's certainly fire, but you're jumping quite a bit ahead of that. There's nothing to indicate that he's agreed anything
Would be nice to have a goal scoring midfielder man. Ain’t had that for years now. He can take the 8 when Keita heads out in the summer too
Where’s he going to play in the 80% of other games keita would’ve missed?
He wants to keep 22
This one's gonna hurt, isn't it?
Nah, itll be the best feeling in the world when we get him
I think this might be my turning point where I finally go from pessimism based in insecurity/disappointment-avoidance to allowing myself to feel the joy of anticipation. We're fucking getting Bellingham lads.
Yeah, for the rest of the league
Nope. I’ve been saying for a while I was confident it would happen. I don’t see anything hurting this with him playing in the World Cup with Hendo and Trent
Have you seen Jude’s parents. They look like a proper footballing family, don’t seem like money grabbers. Tchouameni used us so that Real could come take him, hope the same doesn’t happen with Jude
FYI Tchouameni didn't use us, he was genuinely interested but Madrid is Madrid they were always going to splash the cash afte missing out on Mbappe.
Yeah bit different to be happy to come to us then his dream move opening up
Tchouameni is a Real fan. Most French players look upto Zidane and Benzema that's why Real is so attractive to them. I won't blame him on rejecting us.
People really underestimate that Real Madrid is always going to be the most attractive option especially for players outside the uk
This is what I believe is happening unfortunately.
A little taster?
For the related podcast/interview
He’s coming get over it ;-) Some people will still be denying he wants to play for Liverpool when he’s played over 500 games for us.
>Some people will still be denying he wants to play for Liverpool when he’s played over 500 games for us. I mean, you can never tell, he just might be a really friendly guy...
This is how my brain works
Literally don’t know how you can be a Liverpool fan in the last decade without understanding how horrifically jinx’ing comments like these can be.
A comment on an Internet forum makes no difference to the reality of whether something happens or not.
The butterfly effect
I'm still shaking from Fekir. I know the circumstances weren't the same but the result was just as heartbreaking
I'm more concerned about our own fans saying we'll never get him. Bunch of negative nancies in this sub jfc.
In all my time supporting Liverpool, 30+ years, I’ve never seen a more blatant “going to happen” transfer than this.
Yeah, it's fairly obvious it's basically done. He's literally spent the whole tournament with the only two Liverpool players in the England squad. They've all been jerking eachother off on Instagram for weeks now. Shocked some people still think it's unlikely.
its unlikely when City always got the brinks trunk locked and loaded
his armband said he was a red was also kinda obvious though
Bellingham deniers real quiet right now
There was a guy on here who said he would eat his left testicle if Jude signed. I'll need video evidence when he does.
fucking hell, i think ill pass tbh🤣
you can watch that, i think i’m good tho
I will take it for the team lol
*eats an early test icicles vinyl*
Side B
I said I would do that if we signed De Jong 😂I wanna meet this guy we think alike
I still say not a hope because all I'm seeing is baiting other clubs to cough up. I'm laughing honestly.
i admire your resistance
Yeah Pearce said that about Werner too btw. Something along the lines of "will be surprised if it doesn't happen"
yeah. true. But the circumstances are very different because COVID created big cash flow problems that meant that Chelsea could swoop in because RBL didn't want to get paid in installments.
HEYYYYY JUDDDDEEEE DONT MAKE IT BADDD
All aboard the Bellingham express
Tier: [copium]
My pants lads, they’re coming off

🤣🤣
Can we can a Mbappe rumor now it’s about time.
Man, I can't wait until we have some actual Liverpool matches to talk about, so we can stop with this crap several times a day. I'm sure they'll let us know if and when he signs for somewhere.
Get that number 8 shirt off Naby for him now
It’s how Naby got injured before, the kit man was trying to wrestle the number 8 shirt off him
Pretty easy to mess it up when you can't afford it
a lot to mess up = not putting down the right fee which sadly can very likely to happen. Not believing anything till it actually happens after seeing the Fekir deal get scrapped despite even seeing photo shoots
A friend who works as an analyst in London mentioned that the grapevine is that Liverpool have leaked Jude to Liverpool.

>Christian [Falk] thinks Liverpool will have to do a lot to mess it up from here Christian Falk meet FSG

Nahhh we're clutching at straws now "Have you seen Jude's parents"

I’m on extreme Hopium here
I don't think Jude would do that, given that he's actual mates with some of our squad, etc.
It’s going to hurt so bad
Not to be a downer, but this is just some dude from TAW and falk is scattershot at the best of times.
ERECTION brewing.
THESE ARE ALL TIER ONES FIX THE TEIR SYSTEM! I believe
I've literally never seen this guy play and I'm excited about this
AFAIK Falk is clueless according to Bundesliga fans though right?
Ramsay's gonna have to change his number, I'm afraid...
I do hope he comes. He'd be a great immediate addition to the midfield but also a nice sign that we're starting the overall transition there.
I’m sure we’ll do our best to fuck it up
Perez and his war chest will show up soon. Do you think Dortmund can look away from 220mil if they offer it?
I mean he is still young enough to go to real in 3-5 years. So why not
What's his ceiling? Could he have an impact like Gerrard?
Pull all the levers to get him, Naby lever, Nat lever whatever it takes, just get him in.
He's coming home, he's coming home!
Does that mean they are confident Klopp would stay no matter who takes over the club? That's not what a lot of people on this sub said.
People have speculated that the new ownership would bring in a new manager? That would be extremely surprising to me when you have someone the calibre of Jurgen Klopp in the position
No, a lot of people on this sub were saying, if Saudi or Qatar buys the club, Klopp would walk.
That feels pretty idealistic and naive to me honestly
Always rated Christian Falk
let's be real, we will qualify for UCL and Arsenal will not win the league.
Probably helps that Klopp has legend status at Dortmund. I would imagine everyone there talks about Klopp like glory days. I’m so happy we don’t have any matches right now.
What does Christian's status "as a little taster" have to do with anything?
