LUFC Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2026

[Begbie]

It's crazy the prices that our players attract in comparison to other teams players.

For instance the two midfielders at Everton were quoted at £40m and £65m.

Yeah. It is something we need definitely need to improve on. Low selling fees and too agreeable to players going out on loan instead of selling.

Hopefully the fact that we haven't gone all-in this summer and that we've upgraded at least 3 first team positions will lift that ceiling.

We're financially a few years behind Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth who don't need to sell and therefore attract higher offers.

My opinion only but we definitely need to shy away from buying players from other premier league teams as the added premium just seems ridiculous.

I think that we did the right thing as well by not paying over the odds for Shea Charles from Southampton.

Free transfers and German and Italian football scouting is where we should be best suited.
The Ligue 1 headline transfer market seems over inflated where Villa getting that winger from PSG rudely seems like a bargain at just under £50m.

A very good summary.

Aye, goatee needs work mind. And by work I mean removing.

I don't know what I like least beards or chin eyebrows.

It's definitely beards in all honesty, especially ginger ones.

70s was taches.
80s and 90s clean shaven.
Everything since then is manscaping (wtf!) or just laziness.
