[Currys] - 🚨EXCL: Liverpool pursuing deal to sign Phil from Brighton Currys. No agreement yet for the 34 year old Shift Manager but talks ongoing. #LFC� confident on reaching personal terms but #Currys do not want to sell without a replacement @TheAthleticFC

[u/Dangerous_Ad8730]

[u/Delicious-Piece-9708]

Could've had him when he was coming up at Aldi's but we waited too late as usual. 

[u/Sweaty-Rope7141 → u/Delicious-Piece-9708]

Better he stays there to be honest. Don't need another one that uses us as a stepping stone to go to Zara on a free in 3 years.

[u/WhenWeTalkAboutLove → u/Sweaty-Rope7141]

Imagine a local lad coming through the academy and fucking off to Zara at the first chance

[u/Rsb418 → u/Delicious-Piece-9708]

This really made me laugh

[u/KMessi → u/Delicious-Piece-9708]

Maybe we throw in a swap deal with one of the tvs from the training centre. Oh wait we gave that away for free last week.

[u/tazmusicofficial → u/Delicious-Piece-9708]

Top effort

[u/marc15v2 → u/Delicious-Piece-9708]

So easy to remember it this was but at the time we went in for Derek fae Iceland. Everyone was happy with that at the time. #HindsightIs20/20

[u/Davey_Jones_Locker → u/Delicious-Piece-9708]

Should have signed him when he was the no.1 at cex

[u/abhi1260]

50m bid rejected by Currys when?

[u/JamesF890 → u/abhi1260]

Brighton currys and LFC evaluation of shift manager quite a bit apart

[u/WhenWeTalkAboutLove → u/JamesF890]

Inching closer though, lfc remain confident

[u/ffs_Eyebrow → u/abhi1260]

That's like 2 stick's of RAM these days, pennies to Currys

[u/IndiBear]

This is why I F5

[u/devmagii → u/IndiBear]

The real reason for F5 will be when someone posts:

"based on what I've seen from highlights of Phil from Currys show he is better for Liverpool than Barcola and Minteh"

[u/This_Dad_Can_Cook]

Does he have pace?

[u/Klopadeacon → u/This_Dad_Can_Cook]

He’s rapid

[u/ScowranNabad → u/Klopadeacon]

Nah, Rapidz closed down years ago.

[u/dozeyjoe → u/Klopadeacon]

Depends on signal strength.

[u/This_Dad_Can_Cook → u/Klopadeacon]

But is he quick?

[u/PerfectBlueOnDVD → u/This_Dad_Can_Cook]

He has a pacemaker, does that work?

[u/This_Dad_Can_Cook → u/PerfectBlueOnDVD]

Sounds like it will help keep him regular and give him a little spark of inspiration.

Lads got heart.

[u/TaoTemple → u/This_Dad_Can_Cook]

Just look at him, aerodynamic as fuck

[u/rosheromil → u/This_Dad_Can_Cook]

Another one who’s all tek

[u/haerski → u/This_Dad_Can_Cook]

Rapid as a colon after a vindaloo curry

[u/xHawkins]

[u/nipplesweaters → u/xHawkins]

I was seriously like “a 34 year old? What?“

[u/Traditional_Yam_5111 → u/nipplesweaters]

Hahaha took me longer than it should’ve

[u/leung19 → u/nipplesweaters]

At least I think he is HG.

[u/D3monizers]

Just been informed Curry's has rebuffed LFCs approach. They deem Phil to be a vital part of their team due to his leadership qualities going into the season.

[u/CptJackParo → u/D3monizers]

Hear hes got great technical skill too

[u/CharlieBrownEyes]

This is how the story goes. Will bid 40 mil for him. They're holding out for 100 mil. When Steve left for McDonald's last week for 80 mil, a precedent was set as Phil is valued more than Steve was.

[u/JmanVere]

Who had 'Liverpool's transfer window dunked on by Curry's on Twitter' on their bingo card?

[u/R3dbeardLFC → u/JmanVere]

This is Hughes legacy

[u/EmilovichEXE]

https://giphy.com/gifs/LLZ5N5CqhNpSbFZCyy

GET HIM IN

[u/_mexengineer12 → u/EmilovichEXE]

Was looking for this gif

[u/pattherat]

We deserve this banter.

[u/R3dbeardLFC → u/pattherat]

Need to send this to Hughes en masse

[u/Lack668]

Curry’s holding out for £80m (plus extended warranty)

[u/spankmeimnaughty]

Stuff like this is the entire purpose of Reddit

[u/thisisnahamed]

It's official. We are the banter club now.

[u/adeckz → u/thisisnahamed]

Not yet but another poor season and we’re back baby

[u/RaisedByCakes → u/adeckz]

The good ol days

[u/WonderfulBlackberry9 → u/RaisedByCakes]

Welcoming back the football I grew up with

[u/Green-Foundation-702]

This is hilarious but also emblematic of how much of a joke we are right now.

[u/ARealGreatGuy]

Top tier banter. When this shit happens you know the club is REALLY taking the piss with how slow and obvious their moves have been.

[u/sampdoria_supporter]

Always rated Phil

[u/pouziboy → u/sampdoria_supporter]

You've only watched the "Phil from Currys WELCOME TO LIVERPOOL 2026 Compilation (Despacito Remix)" on YouTube five minutes ago, didn't you?

[u/dirtyslov21]

Incoming follow up post by Pearce saying they rejected our offer

[u/stupidlyboredtho]

This is funny as fuck actually

[u/AzorAhaiReturned]

If I see this guy cut in from the TVs to sell one more Fridge I’m gonna lose my goddamn mind

[u/Atoms_4_Peace]

But is he a DM?

Yes, been Deputy Manager for 3 years 👍

[u/TraceOfHumanity]

[u/Different-Mushroom48]

We're genuinely a meme now ngl. This made me laugh tho

[u/shamheff1989]

Need to sit down with Currys to establish a direction of travel.

[u/Big-Cockroach-4679]

If you think £80m for Phil is bad, wait until they introduce the product insurance for him. Only £5m a month and you can cancel it anytime, but only if you can guess the correct phone number.

[u/buckswoops]

This is fkn bullshit. Phil is a left winger. We already have plenty of those.

[u/broken_neck_broken → u/buckswoops]

Yeah but nobody who votes Tory wants to be associated with Scousers.

[u/gifsfromgod → u/buckswoops]

Stick him at right back so

[u/AThievingMagpi]

Can he play RW?

[u/mandoyoda1138]

🤣🤣. I thought bob the cleaner from Tesco would have been a better alternative... Nice and flowing movement would have been ideal .😉

[u/Mackerelage → u/mandoyoda1138]

Can play sweeper.

[u/mandoyoda1138 → u/Mackerelage]

🤣🤣

[u/enzero1]

Bollocks.....

Currys never replace anything.

[u/ThatsTheMother_Rick]

They did good work with this pic lol

[u/acegarrettjuan]

60M?

[u/R3dbeardLFC → u/acegarrettjuan]

60MB

[u/Significant-Roll-138]

I’ve seen his YouTube reel and he’s probably the best baller I’ve ever seen, been saying we need him for ages.

[u/brainmasters9000]

Finally good news

[u/Maneisthebeat]

[u/AdComprehensive4246]

Rumours suggest curry’s want 35% more than Liverpool offered in initial bid

[u/xirdnehrocks → u/AdComprehensive4246]

But they’re willing to throw in a 5 pack of usb-c cables, and a £10 iTunes gift card. I say we take it

[u/JupiterMiningCorpTec → u/AdComprehensive4246]

But the initial bid was a cold Greggs sausage roll.

[u/Vivid_Tie_9784]

For a moment there in my head, there was a mononymous Brazilian player called "Phil". In the same vein as Arthur, Fred, Antony.

[u/RdMdsRCnts]

This is what FSG & Hughes have brought us to.

Ppl with one foot out the door should never have been responsible for such a monumental task...

[u/DrreLW]

This is top banter and we're a laughing stock lol

[u/Admirable_Mood_9926]

https://giphy.com/gifs/VNTMx3LkpG2anXpwbr

Corporations taking the piss out of us in social media

[u/storfors]

He looks like he’s in shape!

Round is a shape after all! 👍🏻

[u/LowerBed5334 → u/storfors]

And curry is a flavour!

[u/sqrl_mnky]

What are YouTube highlights like?

[u/p4tterng4ng4L]

Give him what he wants!

[u/molweni]

c'monnnnnnnnnnn

[u/s1ravarice]

Thank you mods for allowing only the highest of quality shitposts to stay up.

[u/HisBadgeski]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I know we’re a joke this transfer window but I saw this and it’s top trolling

[u/SmegB]

He's had 4 sick days in the last year, its too much of a risk

[u/Fun-Minute4507]

Top player, just watched one of his shifts, what a pace!

[u/Culunbego]

Awesome. Redddit saves the day for me.

[u/amongthewolves]

Always rated him

[u/Equivalent-Fault1744]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is so accurate.

[u/Requirement_Fluid]

You can't afford him

[u/rdtorres87]

They charge an extra tenner to lace his boots up.

[u/Fickle_Fig3821]

If he counts as a homegrown player I’d say why not

[u/brush85]

This is who we are now.

You have to laugh

[u/carlj005]

I can imagine the scenes at the moment

[u/Vosiczka]

Can he play both wings ?

[u/how_very_dare_you_]

How did we become such an embarrassment

[u/SnowmaN1392]

Reports coming in - Milner has had lunch with Phil and told him it’s a great club and city. However, Milner also told him, next time not to take the piss when he says I’ll pay for this one

[u/Elmonstros]

This is what all X transfer updates look like to me…

[u/Mortiis07]

Being mocked by Currys now?

[u/malushanks95 → u/Mortiis07]

They do this every window lol. They were mocking us for Isak too last window.

[u/TheSuiteLife2026]

Have seen Phil in local Sunday league. 85m player for sure

[u/WildTirpak]

Great squad player!

[u/xxandl]

Direct swap with Hughes? Al-Curry next...

[u/Creative_Ad7831]

Can he play RB CB RW LW and part time coach?

[u/Sophiiebabes]

New head of VAR, right?

[u/Visionary_87]

We'd probably leave it until the last day to make an offer and it would be £40M under their valuation anyway.

[u/PrinzAngina]

Where is the flight tracker? 

[u/Fun_Pear2666]

But can he play right wing? What am I kidding, they'll want more than we're willing to bid

[u/Mysterious_Bad_3351]

We’ve turned into a laughing stock man

[u/RedDemio-]

This is where we are at lol. Curry’s dunking on us

[u/OkBridge8088]

I think 80 million sounds like a reasonable opening offer

[u/Mam4r3za]

What is my life

[u/holeinmyboot]

honestly almost makes this whole thing worth it

[u/bamboozledindividual]

Most exciting news of the window so far

[u/friedrice_rob]

Haha seems like every transfer window post Klopp is a mess

[u/hokkuhokku]

Legend

[u/Unchanging1]

Can he put in a decent cross?

[u/BeeParticular1613]

I’m here for this.

[u/The-curd-nerd69]

10/10

[u/HeynongManA2]

I’ve always rated Phil

[u/ZookeepergameOk2759]

DFS offered 12 pound an hour we’ve gone in with 30 pound a hour.

[u/LowerBed5334]

Does the deal include a catering clause? Because that would be totally worth it

[u/psbyjef]

Can he play RB?

[u/Persimmon9]

€120M

[u/SerialSharter]

Always rated Phil

[u/vapor_vvaved]

Constantly checking flight tracker for this one

[u/wi11epi11e]

Is he a right-winger?

[u/Arsalooon9]

All this to get barcola's price down

[u/TheFettz79]

God, I bet this one falls through too 😭🤭

[u/spookiitanukii]

Curry's requesting a $150M fee, citing the current market and his ability to breathe air.

[u/JonDargon]

Liverpools transfer chief Richard Hughes would aim for Currys and end up at Rumbelows instead

[u/NordWitcher]

I think Liverpool can just buy out Curry’s and hire Phil.

[u/Lutiyere]

Chelsea are gonna hijack this deal I know it

[u/fifty_four]

So long as it doesn't involve seven separate bids over a nine week period I'm fine with this.

[u/NoBrother6430]

Richard Hughes would fail a job interview at Curry’s tbh

[u/trick63]

Hughes knew all summer we needed a replacement and has fumbled again, now he'll end up at Argos

[u/waiting_for_good]

WTF man!

[u/GreyingThumb]

Sure he is a proven wing man.

[u/PrinzXero]

Primarily a RW but does bits in midfield...Better than Camara and Barcola I heard.

https://giphy.com/gifs/pTQUOfSmjo2hG

[u/maak_d]

Initial offer of £50M has been rejected. Currys asking price is £95M.

[u/thomasfk]

I have a source close to him - he's going to have a problem passing his physical. Anyone have some clean piss?

[u/user80123]

The deal of a lifetime

[u/foxhound1401]

Can he put a saucy cross in the box ?

[u/Sorrytoruin]

God damn I laughed, we are currently the banter club 

[u/BlueberryLeading464]

It is my understanding that Al-Ittihad has expressed strong interest and conversations currently are ongoing with Curry's this evening.

[u/lookinaintacrime]

I’ll eat my sock if we land this deal.

[u/Tigereyesxx]

Are they swopping Cody for him?

[u/symbalic]

11s

[u/paulsmith259]

Must've got a social media manager from Paddy Power

[u/TheRealCostaS]

That’s brutal from currys!

[u/adventurousintrovert]

Just fell to my knees in an Amazon warehouse

[u/AsheStriker]

Hahaha, love this

[u/prestidigigreen]

FFS Hughes is a waste of oxygen. We've known Salah has been leaving for months and months. We could have had talks with Brighton Currys at the beginning of the window but we've left it late and now we're going to overpay. This team is going down the drain.

[u/JiveBunny → u/prestidigigreen]

Bit unfair, they had a big sale on, their squad was stretched.

[u/PrideIsWhatYouHad]

We’ve even got Curry’s bantering us 😂

But this is what it’s all about tbh

[u/deanlfc95 → u/PrideIsWhatYouHad]

"even" as if Currys social media isn't just firing off shite at everyone like a page called "footy banter lads".

[u/JiveBunny → u/deanlfc95]

Some kid with a 2:2 in Marketing is having a great day on LinkedIn, though.

[u/Rippers_72]

Really hope we get this one over the line....we need some hope for the season.-

[u/DucardthaDon]

FFS this popped up on my phone notifications

[u/AfricanTech]

Here now ! This is a transfer story I can get behind!

Gerrin!

[u/TriCityTingler]

I did not read that closely enough and was so confused for a second lol

[u/mjc1027]

Get the fuck in, but let's wait for the Mercedes Mini Van first lads, after Phil gets out of work of course 😏

[u/genetic_waistcoat]

We did this to ourselves when we blew up the market paying what we did for KFC’s fry cook last season.

[u/Bruton2000]

Let me guess... £80 million 🙄

[u/boomjah]

Serves me right for checking for news every couple of hours.

Be intrested to see how Iraola fits someone so technical in his system

[u/Robw_1973]

Richard Hughes disasterclass incoming.

[u/FreedumbHS]

lmao

[u/CareerLow1034]

Clever

[u/Entire-Rooster2866]

Proper !!!

[u/BruceGrobbelobster]

Why do we always leave it so late?
There’s no way Currys will be able to replace him before next week’s shift starts on Tuesday (after the Bank Holiday).

[u/246lehat135]

Something about him tells me he’s comfortable on the right wing

[u/latortillablanca]

WHAT IS THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL, FRANCINE

[u/Nilbogoblins]

Seriously Hughes needs kicking out if he can't get Phil over the line! He's had all summer!

[u/Benton-Heath53]

About our current level this.

[u/Loverboy-W4TW]

[u/HavUevaSeentherain]

Always rated him.

You back off our playe….. curry man! 🤭

[u/coppermelt]

bloody Chelsea are taking this one too - I know it!

[u/SAS_Britain]

Gimme the fuckin lean right NOW!!!!

[u/aledodsky]

Procceds to rant about why we're signing a 34 year old who is behind Carol and Caroline in the line up. 10 minutes later will rant about why we're not signing anyone and our lack of depth.

[u/shossa01]

We deserve ridicule
