Ok fanfare may be inaccurate but there was a lot of noise about how he was perfect for Klopp and a Liverpool transfer masterclass.Thank god he has been so injury prone!
Dont remember the fanfare for Minamino, but it was a smart signing. A flop, but they will probably make money on him. Wonder how big profit they will make on Minamino if they sell 200 %?
I'm sure he officially will, in due course.i wouldn’t get too ahead of yourself, it’s early stages. it might turn out he doesn’t have asthma.
You’ve had a few flops though, let’s be honest. As does every club.A shitload of hits in the transfer market yet you're focusing on Keita He wasn't £60m by the way and neither will Luis Diaz be it seems.
Many clubs panic buy / recruit just to reinforce their squad. Our midfield is currently thin, we do need cover, however United won't just buy a body or a squad player, they'd prefer to only recruit first XI quality players in January.Errr....no club buys in January or indeed the summer unless they think " it is a player worth buying" by definition.
That is just a club line that is put out as an excuse.
Thiago hasn't been a flop. Sorely missed in midfield lately.You’ve had a few flops though, let’s be honest. As does every club.
Minamino might have cost very little, but he’s still shit. If he wasn’t you wouldn’t be in the market for another £50m player to replace him with.
AOC, Keita, the CBs you signed last season (one was a loan), Thiago. Konate hasn’t looked good in the limited minutes he’s been given either, but I’m willing to give him a pass as it’s his first season.
When you’ve had a hit, they’ve tended to be exceptionally good though.
Wow, no one wants Spurs
There were pictures of him in a city shirt, it's official.Is it now widely accepted that Alvarez is a City player? Really hoped we were in for him, stinks of an Aguero/Silva/David Villa all over again..
Exactly my thought. It's a 6 month loan, albeit the buy option, so why not just use Dembele, whose technical ability is far superior to Traore's. Baffling move.A guy who should have played rugby, with no end product.
Don't quite get this one.
Laughable that City and Liverpool are strengthening whilst we reduce the wage bill and actually weaken the squad.There were pictures of him in a city shirt, it's official.
You probably never heard of the fecker before last week.Is it now widely accepted that Alvarez is a City player? Really hoped we were in for him, stinks of an Aguero/Silva/David Villa all over again..
Squad is bloated in areas but definitely not in central midfield. The glazers taking tens of millions of dividends each quarter, they literally only sign players when we riotWhy did anyone expect us to sign new players in this window when we don't have a long term manager in place and all the while when our squad is still bloated ?
I've followed him for 6 months, he's the best young player in south america and his agent wanted us to make a bid. Whatever makes you feel better though.You probably never heard of the fecker before last week.
Jesus, the hyperbole in this place is maddening.

You're happy with Mctominay, Fred and Matic for the holding mid positions until the end of the season?Panic Panic Panic.
Would I sign a Kamara or someone when the new manager might not fancy them? No.
I just don't get why some fans are getting frustrated.

Kamara available for less than 15m and Zakaria for 6m.. hardly a huge risk is it?
Kamara is the only viable option that I see. However, he wants to wait out his contract according to Romano - I think we’ll be seeing this more and more going forward.No, I would like us to sign someone but I understand why we won't. I am not going to act out like some of our fans.
Even if we signed Kamara and he isnt as good, he can become a squad player because we need 2/3 midfielders anyway.

Not surprising, Mane is clearly on the waneDidn't know who Luis Diaz was until yesterday, but I can see why Klopp would want him at Liverpool - blazing speed, nifty feet and seems to be a good finisher from what I've seen in one YouTube compilation, the rest will be drilled into him by Klopp. Could fit in seamlessly perhaps if everything goes smooth although Klopp has a habit to slowly integrate players.
Can someone help me out, I thought he was a striker but seems to be more of a left midfielder/forward who cuts inside and runs into space? So that would be Mane's position at Liverpool?
Laughable that City and Liverpool are strengthening whilst we reduce the wage bill and actually weaken the squad.
They're ambitious, they win things whilst we're in a dog fight for 4th with a midfield that's arguably the worst in the top half.
Exactly, Kamara is the one I would like us to have gone for from what I've seen. He looks like a pure cdm which we have lacked since Matic started to decline. We have pogba coming back too, who would benefit from someone like that to play next to him.No, I would like us to sign someone but I understand why we won't.

Have we leaked to reporters that the club are "relaxed about our current midfield options" yet, like we did in the summer?
Barca will probably sign him and ship him to spurs for profit.That’s crazy. 35mil for a player who hasn’t scored in ages and has 1 assist. Meanwhile we can’t even sell Martial and Lingard who played CL football.
Liverpool have signed Luis Diaz. Is he any good?
Sounds like good insurance if Salah does not extend. If Salah does, they can develop him knowing Mane is dropping off on production.Very good player, will be a quality player under Klopp. Begs the question, is Salah done with the club ?
