Feel like there’s a few reasons that might not happen, not least because he and Conte clashed at Chelsea
Chatter makes it sound like a loan first and foremost, whether there’ll be an option or obligation we’ll have to see.
Honestly with someone in his position I think there’s mileage in just bringing his replacement in and threatening him with the U23s to force him out. He’s clearly desperate to play for his country with the World Cup coming up.
At the time he’d been decent and had a run of games at the end of that season where he was one of our better players. Everything since has been ****. Who’d buy him now, unfortunately?
He was a lot better than he has been since but I still don’t think he did enough to make the deal permanent. Big mistake by Jose Mourinho
I also think we always intended to make it permanent but the loan-to-buy structure was part of Betis wanting to game the sell-on clause they owed to PSG.
That wasn’t on Jose to be fair. We paid a £15m loan fee with the intention to make it permanent regardless of who the manager would’ve been. We can thank Poch for picking him over Fernandes though.
Weather forecasters in Florence are reporting a remarkably localised heatwave centred on their managing director's car
What happened is in the history books and it turned out a good call by Klopp but most managers with a 1-0 lead and not long to go wouldn't even have considered Origi but brought on an extra defender. Origi did his job that day and scored but he clearly isn't anywhere near Liverpool's first team now despite being the only real striker they have.
Kulusevski is back at the front of the queue So an obvious improvement on Traore due to having actual output, but somehow feels like a letdown after the brief flirtation with Diaz - which mainly got scuppered by the fact Salah is acting like a tart in contract negotiations Loan with a €30m obligation to buy, according to TuttoMercato
Anyway we signed the following in the last few days of the window and most of them on the last day so chin up. Son Dembele Dele Van der vaart Lloris Eriksen Lamela Lucas Moura
