You came over to this thread with the sole objective of rubbishing a Liverpool player. Nothing to do with objectivity. You quoted stats when it suited you and now that I am using the same stats to show that Divock is progressing at a much faster rate than the current Ligue 1 top scorer, stats don't matter. What I do know is he has pace and works much harder than Lambert and Baloteli ever will. He will be a much better fit than the last two strikers we have bought and that is all that matters.
You can't say he's developing at a faster rate than Lacazette though. He's scored 15 goals in 85 games in France, those are his stats, they're **** all to do with any other player you flute
But comparing it to all strikers gives you an indication that just because a 19 year old has only scored 7 goals this year... doesn't mean he wont improve and in 3 or 4 years time, be scoring 15+ goals When Rooney went to United at 19 he had scored 15 goals in 40 starts and 27 sub appearances. Probably not a too dissimilar reckon to Origi. Some 19 year olds make it... some flop, some become average players. You never can predict what will happen, finding the right club, staying injury free, getting a bit of luck lots of things can change so to write someone off or to say they will become this or that is just nonsense. Can only tlak about potential and so far, he's shown a bit of potential and the way he plays he'll suit us more than Lille who don't from what I've heard seem to be an attacking, quick counter attacking team.
Read what I've posted mate, I've not said that he won't improve, I've said based on his current stats, the views of the French football public and my own experience of watching this lad, that as of NOW he doesn't look all that. What he does or does not do in the future time will tell, he could go on to be a World beater, or he could go on to be another Aspas
I rest my case. What the **** do those ****s know about football. They know **** all about anything other than arrogance and bitterness, A bit like the BS
Yet again another misguided Tobes rant. If you followed Origi's career you would know that he initially started out on the wing and only began playing as the main striker when Kalou left for Berlin. This is the first season where he is being played exclusively upfront and I admit he has struggled. He wasn't even supposed to be in the Belgian world cup party. Bentekes injury meant he got a late call up
I was saying what a good player Sturridge was when you signed him, when most of your lot were turning their noses up at him. Vault me
What's that got to do with your meaningless comparison with Lacazette? I know he's played all across the front line, so you're telling me nothing I didn't know petal, but thanks for the attempted patronism
Just going with the opposite of what people here were saying... just likes to be different does our Tobes
I'm happy with the signing, if I remember it wasn't a huge fee. To be fair though Tobes has a point he's not looking brilliant but as others have said he's young and certain aspects of his game look very good so I'm happy to see how this one pans out.
Origi: What Simon's told me about LFC 22nd Apr 2015 - Latest News please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Author: James Carroll @James_Carroll84 Divock Origi admits he's been quizzing Simon Mignolet about Liverpool while on international duty, and can’t wait to experience it for himself next season. The 20-year-old signed for the Reds from Lille last July, but was immediately loaned back to the French side for the 2014-15 campaign. Having been tracked by the club for several years, he'll begin his Anfield career this summer. Earlier this month, Mignolet revealed he educates Origi about life on Merseyside when the pair are in camp with Belgium. Now, in an exclusive interview with Liverpoolfc.com, the striker has explained what the conversations have been about. "Just some typical questions about the club, the atmosphere, how the club is doing and about the life in Liverpool because it's a big change for me," Origi said. "Simon has helped me a lot and given me a lot of information about the city. He told me it's a nice city and advised me on where you can live and the nice places to go. He told me he really likes it and feels at home there." Mignolet has also painted a picture for Origi on what it's like to run out in front of the Kop on matchdays. "He told me it is a special feeling, but that's something I knew already," explained the forward. "He told me before every game there is a fantastic atmosphere from the supporters and everybody at the club, which helps you to play even better. It makes me excited because it's something I want to experience." please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Origi: What Simon's told me about LFC It's not just Mignolet who Origi has been questioning about life in England - he's also had several FaceTime conversations with Manchester United's Adnan Januzaj about what he can expect. While he admits having a fellow Belgian at Melwood will make the settling-in process easier, he's heard enough to feel confident about walking into the dressing room on his first day. "It's always nice to have someone in the team that you know and who speaks the same language, but obviously I speak some English also, so I hope the integration will be okay," said Origi. "I am sure there is a good atmosphere within the group. Simon told me the team is very human and that's very good to hear. I have no worries about that. "Some people from the team's management have also sent me some messages and let me know they're watching all the games. It's very nice to have the team supporting me and watching often."

Origi: Jordon Ibe progress excites me please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Author: James Carroll @James_Carroll84 Divock Origi has revealed watching the development of fellow young players Raheem Sterling and Jordon Ibe under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers has further whetted his appetite for his summer switch to Liverpool. The Reds secured the services of the 20-year-old last July after agreeing a deal with Lille. He was then immediately loaned back to the French club for the 2014-15 season. Origi will move to Anfield following the conclusion of Lille's campaign, though with five games left to play in Ligue 1 and a Europa League place to chase, there's still plenty of work to be done before then. Nonetheless, as he explained in an exclusive interview with Liverpoolfc.com, the striker is relishing the prospect of working under Rodgers. He said: "To see the players develop and play in a top league in such a young team, for me it's very exciting. "When you see how the coach and the staff work with the young players - how Sterling, for example, has learned over the years and how Ibe is now integrating with the team, it is very interesting. It is very nice to have seen that this season. "The manager is one of the reasons I came to Liverpool - he's someone who has proven he knows how to work with young players, knows how to develop young players and also lets them play. "For me, it's about giving 100 per cent every time on the field and I think the rest will come. I will just try to learn and I am sure everything will be OK." Though fully committed to helping Lille achieve their goals in the remaining fixtures, watching from afar has only served to heighten Origi's sense of excitement at joining Liverpool. The forward is an avid viewer of the Reds' games from France, even recording matches to watch afterwards if it clashes with his own contests. "I try to watch every game I can and if I can't watch because we're also playing, then I try to watch afterwards," he said. "It was always a dream for me to play in the Premier League and to see my future team play makes me very excited for the new season." Since the news broke back in July last year that Liverpool had signed Origi, fans have followed his progress via his official Twitter and Instagram accounts. It's through these social media platforms that Kopites have delivered words of encouragement and praise for the youngster - and they've been very much appreciated by the man himself ahead of his switch to new surroundings. "I think I already feel welcomed by the Liverpool supporters and I can see this is a family," explained Origi. "The support they've given me has helped me a lot and shows the type of club Liverpool is. I'm sure I'll have a good relationship with the supporters. "I'm somebody who when I feel loved, when I feel appreciated by the supporters, then I can give even more. It gives you a boost on the field. In Belgium it was this way, and I can see it at Liverpool. "It makes me very happy and makes me want to do even more. It reflects the type of club Liverpool are and I am sure everything will go OK." Origi has struck seven goals in Ligue 1 for Lille this season to aid their push for continental qualification. Les Dogues have won six of their last seven matches, with their No.27 finding the back of the net four times during that run. Origi feels the additional season in France has proven highly beneficial to his development as a player and believes he will be able to adapt much more smoothly to the Barclays Premier League because of it. "After the World Cup, it was important for me to play a lot of games," he said. "The teams - and myself personally - wanted me to stay for one more season at Lille. "In a mental aspect, I've learnt a lot and I've learnt a lot about football and people looking at you. It's made me stronger and that's essential for me before coming to Liverpool. "I've learnt a lot with the coaching and the players and it has helped make me a more complete player. "I think my form has reflected the form of the team. In the beginning it was good, we started off good and personally I scored some goals. "Then it was difficult for us because of the Europa League and everything, it was something new for us. We also have a young team. "But now, we're doing well, looking to end near the top of the league. We're doing everything to win the five games that are left and hoping for a European place. "We're very happy, especially after the period that we went through. For ourselves, it's a mental boost and you can see in our game offensively we are stronger, take more risks and score more. That's what the game is all about. We're all very happy. "I am just trying to enjoy my game, trying to help the team win and at the moment, things are going well. We're winning, so that's the most important thing. We have a very, very young team, so we try to help each other and try to finish the season in a good way." Tagged: Divock Origi ,
