I know nothing about him other than hearing utd were interested which didn’t fill me with confidence
That said if it since Ten Hag or that guy before him came it might not be so bad
What’s he like ?
Wonder if we planning to use some of the youth in the CM slots ?

We already do with Elliott who can't put a foot in.

bajectic is half decent but a long way from the finished article

Morton has not got any pace but is doing alright on loan.

carvalho hasn't got any more time at lcm. I dunno.

so...... who knows.

Wouldn’t have thought would piss you guys off but did seem to be a player you have been constantly linked with ?
Bit like us with Bruno
Don’t suppose we will ever truly know.

The big stirs had gakpo to Utd as a hot topic rumour and all of that.

add jota as a better lw than cf.

Diaz must be out longer than let on
I thought Nunez looked decent at lw more than cf also.
jota is out til March as well.
carvalho gets no time from klopp l, don't know why. there's something there but really don't know why he's not getting any time

overall...

lw. Gakpo, Diaz
cf. nunez, firmino, jota
rw. salah, doak.

we got shut of minamino and origi and mane left so of his at least gives us back the options we've lacked since May.

if we've 37 to throw at this then hopefully there's a bit for a cm cos that area doesn't look quite as nice.

lcm: thiago.... erm.... Milner..... erm kieta
no 6: fabinho, bajectic, ermmm fillers
rcm: Henderson, Elliott, ox.

am I forgetting any ****?

We need 2 cms.

Jota def isn’t a better Lw than cf. he’s much better as a poacher in the box.

37m rising to 50 with add ins. Could be a bit of a bargain. Stats this year (albeit in Dutch lesgue) are 9 goals 12 assists in 14 games. Even if he halves those numbers for us for rest of season than that’s a great contribution.

just on "renewal"

gakpo 23
Nunez 23
jota 26 (just turned this month)
Diaz 25 (26 next month)

so from a front 3 turning 90 odd we have bought.

midfield is an eyesore though. need 2 players to reverse the decline.

Everyone knows it. The club know it. Klopp knows it. Problem is every other club also know it so becomes trickier to buy one. We also looking to spend big then it has to be right and has to be players that will come in and be a first team player for the next 5-6 years.

Quick, powerful, very much 2 footed. Can play anywhere along the front 3.

My lad who is much more knowledgeable about the European leagues thinks 40m is a snip. He's very pleased.

He fits our Profile of 30-40 million pound signings who are just on the cusp of (hopefully) becoming big-time players. If he can play RF as well then that would be really useful.

Hasn’t played there huge amount for PSV but did play a bit there for Holland in WC so think fits with those flexible type forwards we’ve gone for. Diaz can play both sides. Nunez can play left and cf. Jota can cover all 3. Obviously some are better in 1 than the other but good to have that flexibility.

Hopefully in a year or two Doak can be that right wing cover for Salah

3. Bellingham, Fernandez and Amrabat, then I'll believe that FSG are adding an extension to the house before they sell it.
