The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - #DankeJürgen

[brokencrossbar1]

Have seen him play several times through CL and international matches. He is a top talent and has the ability to really push on. The one thing about Klopp signings generally is centred on their mentality. If he has the right mentality he absolutely has the right skill set. The club has been tracking him for some time. Had planned to get him in the summer but Spurs interest brought that forward. I think he'll do fine and not an outrageous high fee given what is generally paid

Luis Diaz would be a great bit of business if Liverpool can swoop him from under Spurs nose.

Salah, Mane, Diaz, Jote, Firmino, Minamino - Would be serious options. Still think Liverpool would improve 10 fold with a world class number 9 though.

How so? Or who would you recommend? We are the top scorers in the league as it is.

Lautaro Martinez, Vlahovic or Osimhen. Top scorers yeah, but always room for improvement. I just thought Liverpools next big money signing might have been upgrading Firmino to someone who gets more goals.

If Liverpool want him they will get him, no player is choosing Spurs over Liverpool if the option is there to join Liverpool.

Yeah and the big thing is an awful lot of the main journos are reporting it so that would suggest that is real. This season he has 16 goals and 6 assists in 28 games. He's a bit of a slow burner but ready to hopefully step to the next level.

Another journalist by the name of Graeme Bailey reporting Liverpool interested in Fulham's Fabio Carvalho. Liverpool are like Dublin Buses nothing for ages then 2 come at once.
Other journalists saying Man United were in for Diaz also.

Jota is the upgrade on Firmino.
Luis Diaz would be alternate to Salah and Mane
Diaz just turned 25 this month, so ideal age.
Going to be difficult to get a deal through with him in South America, but if we do it'll probably mean we'll let Minamino go to Leeds or Monaco, who've both expressed interest.

Be happy to see this tbh. Just don't think he has it. Flashes every now and again but has had long enough and I just don't see enough which is a pity.

Think the move was too big for him. Also a bit lightweight and over 2yrs later this is still the case. Still hard to know where he actually plays and writing was on the wall when gordon started ahead on him against arsenal. Seems a humble sort so hope he does well elsewhere

Would feel bad for Minamino missing out on the Cup Final seeing as his goals were important getting us to it!

Luis Diaz. Really, I've never seen the lad so he could be anything. That he's Colombian is a black mark, for they've an appalling record in the PL (though someone must eventually break that duck).

What I suppose I'm getting at is that anyone getting excited about Diaz has probably not seen him play but has seen the transfer fee and made assumptions.

Sounds like the moaning of a supporter whose team tried to get Diaz to sign throughout the whole transfer window and failed.

[Ghost]

Is he being bought to replace Mane now or long term?'

At this stage I'm happy to trust in our buying policy and hit rate with new signings.

I am glad Jurgen doesn't log in here for transfer market advice or otherwise he might have had some wise guy telling him Salah was a waste of time because no Egyptian has ever made in the PL....    Brazilians didn't exactly have a stand out impact on the PL until recent years either. 

Maybe he's better just sticking to his own method of judging it on ability and character rather than birthplace

Diaz deal is done judging by the photos circulating this morning.
