Luis Diaz

He'll be 28 in a couple of days.

Don't think we need him as we have Raphinha. We have other positions to think about.

Diaz is precisely what we lack at LW mate.

People talk about Leao, and Fatporta is in love with him (and with Medes who will get a huge commission if this Bartomeuesque transfer happens)

Leao might be more flashy on the eye, but Diaz can do the same attacking-wise, and at the same time:
- runs his ass off in the defensive phase of play
- can make off-the-ball movements to receive as a striker similar to Raphina's

Diaz is the perfect transfer for the summer. I was surprised that Deco came with such a level-headed choice.
Liverpool will certainly demand 80m+ for him, so I don't know how feasible it is to get him AND a striker like Isaak or Gyokeres.

But if the Polish tractor doesn't leave in the summer (very likely IMO), we should go for Diaz

I haven't mentioned Leao and we have Raphinha for the LW position so I don't see the need to spend a lot of $ for that position.

A striker is a position that I would prioritize more than the LW position.

Striker is a given that we need.

But Raphina is not an out and out LW and struggles when placed there.
We need different profiles to control different types of games

Besides, we need DEPTH in every position.
Currently we have no one behind Lamine and Raphina.
When they are injured we are 5 levels below

Winger Depth is needed, I agree.

Don't want to spend a lot of money just for depth purposes though when there are different positions that I would like to prioritize first.

Gobsmacked Porchops is showing the smarts keen on signing this future Barca Legend 😵

Would fit right away into Flickball, no acclimatization needed.

Dani Alves vibes wow! 💥

I reckon what they like most about him is he's a hard worker. But I think they might be overrating his dribbling ability. Whenever I watch him he tries a lot but his dribbles are not a success. His decision making is at the very least questionable. Then there is his age which means we'll have to spend more on a LW again soon.

I don't think he would flop but spending 70m would be a shit move. There are better options. I don't understand why would you choose him over Nico.

Okay we all agree we don't want him.

Hope so idiot Deco will not push for him.

We need to sign players like Doue.

Not flops from Liverpool.

We need more imaginaton, not most obvious overrated solutions.

Apparently Deco's number 1 target in the transfer market.

Barca and Liverpool can help each other here.

We can give you a fast right footed dribbler at LW and you can give us the money for the Isak deal.

Diaz has always dreamed of a move to La Liga.

You sound like Trump, claiming you are helping save Ukraine, whilst licking your lips over those juicy minerals.

Luckily, Barca isn't being held over the same barrel as Zelensky.

Isak will not sign for Liverpool.

You are not that guy.

Best case you get Sesko.

You can't buy top class players, you can bring players from Sporting, Leipzig, Porto or Roma.
