I'd keep Endo, for all the reasons mentioned here.^ It's a squad game, and he's pretty handy at shutting up shop for the last 15 or 20 minutes. No frills, but a solid back-up.
Just don’t see Slot keeping him if we get offers. Lovely guy, hard worker, doesn’t kick up a fuss. But never going to be what Slot wants. £10 plus Million and freeing up a foreign space. I’d rather give Bajcetic a chance. Much higher potential there.
Yeah, but you can't just deem anyone who isn't a starter as expendable. We need squad players to come in and be reliable. Bajcetic is still an unknown quantity, whereas you know what you're getting with Endo. Can't just throw players away unless you have someone as good or better to replace them - otherwise you are, by definition, weakening the squad.
I got the impression Slot rated him more highly by the end of the season than he did at the start. If a decent offer came in then we may well sell but I don't think he's a priority sale.
But he is not reliable Not to slot If.slot wouldn't use a player then there's no point keeping if there's another option coming along
he only really played cameo’s for the most part of the season and didn’t let us down, you’re right . However, I can’t see Slot keeping him if there is a squad place required; in fact, i suspect his would be one of the first to give. I think that we all love his application. Got his head down when he was clearly told that he wouldn’t play a part. Football can be brutal at times.
And the rewards massive. In the end the lad came to lfc for a reason. Did klopp tell him he would be first choice? I doubt it. He's got a league cup and league medal which is massive for him and he got a massive pay day too. A nice lad, a real pro and a fan favourite for that. In reality he's on 50k a week so a millionaire form playing for us so he will be looking to see thet out and go at the end if it OR find an opportunity where he can get 2 or 3 more years at similar money. Lfc have a core group which may play if the rumours are true. 2 keepers 2 rb 2.lb (assume robertson) 2 cbs (assume slot.likes.neither reserve) 1 6 3? Cms (assume Szoboszlai,.macallister and jones) 1 10 (wirtz) 1 rw 2 lw St ??? We have players to make 2 bodies in all the spots but does slot wants them?
I'd like to see our 3 rumoured signings come through without drama first. This all depends on finances and formations and what slot really thinks. Slot is an interesting tactical manager. Is it nominally a 4231? When we have the ball deep how to they line up. When we don't have the ball depp how do we line up. When we have the ball high up it's like 235 or something so how will thst change? Alisson Konate Vvd Frimpong gravenberch kerkez Salah wirtz jota macallister gakpo These full backs would they play narrow like slot seems to like or would they be up and down the line? Who knows.
First official bid apparently been made in excess of €100m generally seen as €85m fixed plus €25m in bonuses. Expected to be done quickly once fees agreed and accepted
I see it as Wirtz in a false 9 tbh with Szobo staying as 10. Those 2 forming a front 4 when pressing. Both full backs pushing high and wide to keep the width with grav dropping deeper to be part of back 3
Had slot a similar type of player.mix at feynoord or did he have a proper 9 there? Santiago Gimenez was more of a straight centre forward. Wirtz seems to be to be a player who will dribble and assist rather than be the one finishing.
Last I read Arsenal had gone cold on him. Going for Sesko instead, which would make more sense seeing as they've scouted him for almost 3 years Links to Gyökeres have got a little confused in the past few days. Rumours he wants to leave and rumours he wants to stay, both today and yesterday. But todays story was that Sporting would accept lower than the £84m release. Presumably cause clubs, like Arse, are looking at alternatives
Barely. Slot himself talked about not rotating and where the team blew up. He's still only giving him 5 to 15mins at most here and there. Using means starting a guy in games thst matter. Slot uses Jones. Slot uses Bradley.slot used tsimikas He didn't trust endo or Elliott or chiesa really It is what it is.
20 league appearances. 260 minutes total. What does that tell you. Longest time was very chelsea 69mins (and people keep telling me thst game "doesn't matter") or West ham with a 5-0 win for 33mins If you take those couple put it becomes a massively different picture. Again cl. 6 games 140mins. 90 of which are very psv when again I was told it "didn't matter" Again less than 10 mins. 10mins is better than no mins but there you go.
