At least Endo appears to be able run and play a full 90 mins which was more than could be said for Fab and Henderson by the end
totally incomparable imo. Hendo may well have torn that league up on 75%. Only time will tell.

Started more games than anyone else across bundesliga since 2020 so guy is robust it seems.
He wins the ball, good at tackling, decent in possession and was in top 4 for creating chances in open play last year. Not bad for a DM.
If he was 22 instead of 30 then would sound like a very exciting player. No reason can’t get 2/3 years out of him while other young players develop and the price hopefully leaves room for at least 1 more midfielder
Maybe he would be available for Bournemouth game.
Algemeen Dagblad.Liverpool are chasing a deal for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat

Not new, but once beaten.....is twice shy they say !so he can snub us for Utd?![]()
Ftr I like the sound of him - my sort of work horse type player,OR he only has Bundesliga to worry about as he's coming from a struggling side with little to no other commitments. the other thing is few suspensions.
Basically though you are right about age. The age tips a lot of folk into some despair or something despite never have seen him.
a very brief look at transfermarkt tells us that he played 33 out of 34 games last year with one out due to concussion and he picked up a sum total of 3 while making 5 assists and scoring 5 goals. played 2925minutes
The season before was remarkably similar. plays 33 out of 34 with one absence for corona. again 4 yellows toal and 4 goals and 2 assists. played 2902 minutes
and again the season before was again 33 out of 34 with this time him being a very naughty boy and getting 5 yellows and a suspension for the final game of the season. 3 goals, 4 assists playing 2957 minutes
theres no real cups runs i nthat so this does suggest a "less intense" amount of games but his "minutes" would be up there with players playing for top clubs.
some exmaples form last season.
Rodri. The bestest most wordie class DM on the planet according to city fans. 2920 minutes winning the treble. (thats prem only now.) 4476 mint total
Caicedo 3140 minutes in the prem last season (37 games)
If the guy is able for the pace (need to wait and see)
And the guy is able for the physicality (who knows, this i suspect is one of the major issues in peoples heads)
And he is not just another nice to have but no tackles kind of player (doesn't seem to foul much)
Then maybe yes you bridge form now to bajectic is an adult.
But none of this will stop LFC fans demanding the full 111mil spend.

A bit? Now?while i have nothing against Endo bar the fee this is all getting a bit embarrassing now.
This is why to me Endo only makes sense if we shift Thiago, who lets be honest needs to go. 32, big wages, constant injuries, doesn't fit our team.You just get the feeling Endo is just going to be it. The problem is if we get Endo and another DM it slows down Bajetics progress.
I'm happy enough with the transfer right now and will wait to see what he's like on the pitch.Once upon a time we used to laugh at entitled young fans demanding every signing be a "marquee" signing - are we all getting to that stage now? Because he's not a big name he's rubbish?
I understand the disappointment because of the recent saga, the high hopes and all that - but let's give the guy a chance before writing him off.
I'd just like to throw in that imo, both Caicedo and Lavia were vastly over-priced - even by today's stupid standards.
And before anyone says Rice, well yeah - so was he.

I remain convinced that Amrabat is a turan type with an overactive agent.
Theres no reliable links at all related to that player being on LFC radar at any point.
Lets face it if Ornstien is willing to stick his head up and confirm LFC interest in Tchoumendi (probably ok'd to do so by LFC as a stunt to placate fans) but has always been silent on amrabat then we know the score.
remember its Romano and his pay to tweet shot boating and the twitter generation love of a her we go mario handle plus a photoshopped picutre of player into new kit that is saying stuff.
I remember people being distinctly underwhelmed by Robbo, and he became one of the best LBs in the PL.agree. We’ve rarely competed with the rich boys tbh, so it should be a surprise that we still aren’t.
Milner and Hendo were never stellar players, much more industrious than flair, it didn’t stop us winning everything.![]()
