I think he is incredibly limited and a winger who has no 1v1 ability will always be a concern against the better sides. That said, he has decent pace, works hard and if he can become some sort of finisher then he’ll have his uses. Otherwise, I’m really not a fan.

He isn?t perfect by any means, but he?s regularly the biggest threat and the one who looks capable of creating something or making a difference.

I actually think the team and squad has a lot of promise. I just think defensively reinforcements are needed, particularly a RB. With Araujo, Kounde, Christensen the club have three good CB?s, with the former two potentially being top tier. Wasn?t Kounde?s best game yesterday, but he?ll be an...

Seems silly to give a 3 year contract to a 32 year old FB, especially when the 33 year old FB already at the club looks finished 🙃

Don?t know why clubs bother negotiating loans with buy options, especially when it comes to Italian clubs. You know for a fact, Milan won?t exercise that option. At best, they might end up saying we?ll take him for 5m. Have they paid a long fee at least?

Wouldn?t trust him against elite sides, or up against physical/athletic strikers (or defenders at corners). On paper, the Araujo Kounde partnership is best. I actually don?t understand why Garcia couldn?t be tried out at RB - largely because he isn?t slow, has decent technique, but isn?t as...

So paying 100% of his wages and no loan fee? Seems a bit pointless. Not for Lecce of course.

I still do not understand the logic behind Alonso. An ageing, attack minded left back with questionable defending ability. Does that not describe someone else already at the club?

Will be back next year when Spurs decide not to take up the option.

Agreed. Would have been a crap purchase.

Was never going to get a decent fee for him. His loan moves usually consist of a few ?ok? games before getting injured. Just surprised he?s gone to PSG. He?ll barely play for them. Remember Thiago talked him up a few years ago, but I think he was just trying to support his brother. Works...

Anyone with half a brain always knew he needed to be played centrally to get the best out of him.

Depay isn?t good enough. He?s also ineffective out wide. Would be a complete waste of money.

I just hope that he doesn?t become THE midfield, i.e. the only one in it.

In general we struggle to stretch sides because we?re very lacking in raw pace. Dembele has it, but doesn?t currently possess the know-how to make smart runs in behind. Trincao is perhaps another that will prefer the ball to feet and ?play make?. But we?ll see. But we?re not blessed for raw...

A good player, but was never a good fit for the club. To compound matters, he now plays without a great deal of confidence as well. I don?t know what the solution is. He isn?t an AM. He isn?t a winger. He isn?t a CF. With Koeman?s seemingly preferred set up, I?d have him as back up to Messi in...

I think people should pause before going overboard with the hype, because it?ll only take a couple of bad games, and it?ll be ?get rid?, ?not good enough? etc. That said, he looks promising. Shame that he?s not overly pacey, which can make such a difference in his position.

Maybe I?m not giving him the credit her deserves, but he definitely doesn?t excite me. Another concern is that he is yet another player about to hit 30, and unlike Thiago a lot of his game is based around his athleticism and running.

Can?t say anyone in the Liverpool MF excites me. At a push, I?d take Fabinho who could bring a bit of balance to the midfield. If Wijnaldum comes, I?d obviously wish him well, but they?ll be a strong degree of irony if Liverpool replace (upgrade) him with Thiago.

I really hope we?re not in for Depay, as he isn?t anywhere near good enough. Gaya is ?ok?. Though in truth, I?d prefer someone faster and more athletic, because the team is severely lacking in that regard. That said, I can?t really think of anyone at the moment who would be an obvious...
