Osimhen fits best with United. He will solve every problem, a real complete striker and monster. Vierchowod is a fan of Osimhen and often praises him.

Napoli is the toughest club to buy from and Osimhen might be more injury prone than Martial, has missed about 55 matches since the start of the 20/21 season.
 
Gakpo was player of the year in the same league and same position (but different wing) that Antony played in and yet we have paid nearly 50 million more. How has that happened?
45m is basically free apparently so Antony was only 40m in total.
 
We must have pulled out of the race and have other irons in the fire, PSV would have tried to create an auction otherwise.
I dont think we were ever in the race after the summer window, when Leeds had a clear run at him.
 
I just think in todays market 45M is basically free compared to what average footballers go for these days.

If he works out it’s amazing and if not you don’t lose much on him. It’s a win win, Liverpool can’t lose in this deal.

As opposed to the Darwin one
It’s probably around 50m with addons. That’s far from nothing.

34/35 year old Tadic consistently bangs in big numbers at Eredivisie yet he was a flop at Soton.

I’ll reserve my opinion on Gakpo but:
1. He’s not a striker currently.
2. In decisive games in CL that I’ve watched he has been really underwhelming. WC I’m also not that impressed as others in the thread.
 
Wow I guess that's why Glazers out was trending on twitter earlier. I did not see that coming.

So not the same position?
 
Gapko may not be a world beater but much much better than Elanga. Smart club would have binned elanga and got gapko.

That's stupid. No smart club spends £45m to replace 300 odd minutes that Elanga has got this season. Those minutes will end up going to Garnacho now anyway.
 
I'm on the other side of the coin to most of you. Think he'll be very good for Liverpool and a player missed for us.

Predictable though, we'll spend no money this window.
 
Not the player we need at this moment but if he can develop into a central striker has potential to be elite
Ya I’m out sure yet if he will be a hit or not but I do think he has some good characteristics to play that role that Firmino has Played for years at Liverpool. Liverpool switched it up this year by going with a more old fashioned striker and it has not worked out for them so it seems they are going back to their roots under Klopp.

Like you pointed out it’s all about how he develops in That role.
 
We must have pulled out of the race and have other irons in the fire, PSV would have tried to create an auction otherwise.
That is a good point. His fee has not altered much from the summer despite his improvement this season. There was no auction and they could not even get Licha Martinez money for him never mind any where near Antony levels. You would think they would be using those as comparison points for the league's best player.

Aren't most people saying we dont need him because we have similar players, rather than he'd flop? I'm sure he'll score a few for them, but his all around game is lacking.

Well smart club actually looks to have quality players.

Have you watched much of Gakpo ?
 
This hurts. If he went to somewhere like Real wouldn’t care so much. But the fact that it’s Liverpool and the quickness of it hurts
 
Gakpo was player of the year in the same league and same position (but different wing) that Antony played in and yet we have paid nearly 50 million more. How has that happened?
And Tadic had 13 goals and 19 assists more than Gakpo last year. We should have bought him instead.Jesper Karlsson too for that matter..

Eredivisie numbers are a bit crap source to rely on.
 
Huh?? This is what I mean. What does Ronaldo have to do with this?

I don’t know if Gakpo will be a hit or not but I think he has some interesting characteristics as a player to succeed at liverpool.

When you see the prices many average I players go for these days 60M + I think that Gakpo is a solid gamble which Liverpool have little to lose from (similar to when United got Bruno for a steal imo).

it’s more in line with what Liverpool do besides their major Darwin blip.

You’re trolling with the comments about Rashford along with excessively praising Liverpool here and their scouting system.

Give it a rest.
 
We could've got both if we signed Antony when his price wasn't so high. But we dicked around trying to get FdJ like bellends.

Ultimately that's on both, Ten Hag and Murtough for prioritising like nonces.
 
Gapko may not be a world beater but much much better than Elanga. Smart club would have binned elanga and got gapko.
United haven't got the funds to be spending big on a replacement for Elanga. They need to muddle through to next summer and find the guy who they think can be an elite number 9, I'm not sure who that is but I think it's fair enough if they didn't think Gakpo was the man (it seems he turned United down anyway so maybe they did but he decided that Liverpool was the better option).
 
Have you watched much of Gakpo ?
Mix of World Cup and Champions league play off ties as well as the games vs Ajax.

I would not call myself a Gakpo expert by any means as I mainly follow the Portuguese league but from what I’ve seen or him I like some of his qualities.

At the right price worth a gamble but I won’t say if he will or won’t be a hit because I honestly am not 100% sure

Elanga is not even a starter. 45m in January for a squad option, yeah thats like City smart

What you’re doing is called assuming. Don’t do that.

I have always thought nothing of Rashford, go look it up.

Liverpool have many a times been praised for their business on here.

If you don’t like it when I do it it sounds more like a personal issue so figure it out mate.

Stop making things weird.
 
No. One injury to them we’re back to Garnacho. Or that 72m Sancho kid.
So a 18 year old kid , an unreliable cf and a £72m kid who has having physical and mental issues this season. Brilliant attack that is.

You were severely doubting this signing up till now?
