Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

I’ve never thought that Origi was good enough and still don’t. But that’s just my opinion and doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate his special goals as much as the next person.....

I hope I’m wrong.

 

He is completely average, but he does continue to score important goals and is seemingly happy to be a bench player. If we had more quality I would like to see us rotate the front three like we do in centre midfield, maybe Minamino will be just that

 

Origi hardly plays and seems content to be used as back up to the usual 3.

He pretty much always comes good when we've needed him to.

I think he gets stick because hes very different and not as explosve perhaps as the others but thats why hes important for me, that he does offer something diffrent is his strength in this squad, and he is a fantastic squad member for me.

Big fan

 

I don't know whether he's always done it or whether I've only just noticed but he's absolutely brilliant at taking down a really high crossed ball. Generally speaking, the ball loves him.

 

I don't think we could do much better considering the role he is often expected to play. He seems happy at the club and offers opponents a different
set of problems. He holds the ball well, big and physical but no slouch over the turf. You really don't want Origi running at you in the last 20 mins.
And a reliable scorer of goals....... big goals. From sparking the Dortmund game into life, to Barca and Madrid..........and Everton
A threat in the air too, the mans a cult hero

Listen to the Kop.....................DIVOCK ORIGI......DIVOCK ORIGI........

 

Didn't he have a couple of offers last season (or was it the one before) but said he wanted to stay and fight for a/his place. He fits the Klopp profile and plays with a smile on his face and he's certainly put lots of smiles on all our faces.

 

I can't believe we would even think about getting rid of divock, the lad has improved massively in the last 12 months.

He used to have the touch of a rapist, just a big lad who was reasonable quick with it.

His overall awareness, workrate and control of the ball have come on leaps and bounds, I doubt we could attract a better striker who would be happy to sit on the bench for 3/4 of the season yet come in and give his all when asked.

I ****ing love divock

 

There's probably 50 strikers better than him, but they'd be highly unlikely to accept being 4th choice most of the season. As average as he is, he does have a knack for grabbing an important goal out of nowhere - completely to everyone's surprise - so he's proven his 'super sub' status.

 

Kids a beast on fifa.

 

Agreed. I stood up for him prior to him becoming a cult hero too

 

i have always said that Origi has all the natural attributes to be perfect cover for the front 3 the only query was could he deliver often enough & he has .

 

There are rooms for improvement for and he is a big game player, against Barcelona he was incredible, Manchester city, Arsenal, Chelsea and other premiership clubs are going to have him in their team as either squad or first team player.

 

Phil Babb believes that Liverpool FC should be targeting a deal to sign Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli.
The Reds have made an incredible start to the new Premier League season, with the Merseyside outfit currently leading the way at the top of the table.

Liverpool FC are 14 points clear of Manchester City with a game in hand and they are yet to lose a game in the top flight this term.

Much of Liverpool FC’s improvement over the last couple of seasons has been credited with the arrival of Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in the January 2018 transfer window.

Now, former Liverpool FC star Babb feels that the Reds should be looking to partner Van Dijk with Senegal international Koulibaly to create a truly formidable partnership at the back.




Speaking in an interview with Gambling.com, Babb said: “As a fan and a broadcaster I wonder where [Jurgen] Klopp can improve the squad and I’d probably say they might want to look at bringing in another top, top centre-half.

“That’s only because of the injury records of Gomez, Matip and Dejan Lovren. Virgil van Dijk is like a thoroughbred horse, very rarely gets injured, and if he could have another world class centre-half constantly alongside side him that would bolster Liverpool.

“Can you imagine Virgil van Dijk and Kalidou Koulibaly together? That would be some centre-half partnership.”

Koulibaly has made 14 Serie A appearances for Napoli so far this season, and has also featured six times in the Champions League.

Liverpool FC are currently preparing for their crunch home clash against Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United when the teams last met in October at Old Trafford.

 

He's a quality player but we don't need him

 

I was very impressed by Koulibaly and think it would be a great partnership - but yes, I agree that we don't need him at the price we would have to pay. It's not as though what we have at the moment is letting us down in a big way, so the overall improvement to the team would be marginal.
There are a few other teams in the Prem who could do with him though.

 

don’t they both favour the same side?

 

Koulibaly and VVD together would be unstoppable!

 

No idea

 

Until he goes off to AFCON
