Divock Origi

[Adebisi]

Writing 20 year olds off after a start and a sub appearance. Ya gotta love it.

People point to him getting booed by his own fans at Lille and what have you but Jesus wept in heaven, he was a teenager at the time. Imagine going through that bollocks ffs.

[Jairzinho]

I think most people are actually writing the club off more than the player.

I'd say its 60/40 writing the player off.

[ZonkoVille77]

It's not Origi's fault the club is run by a bunch of stoned gerbils.

[TheHowieLama]

Look at a player like Origi or Benteke.

 

Is there a better chance they will end up on a CL team or we will become one?

[bonesman]

Most of the players bar the odd few of late seem to lose all confidence when arriving here, why is that do you think? Origi looks short of it at the moment...

An interesting point.

Being asked to play in 8 formations in 20 minute cameos, out of position and then have your manager heavily hint to the select media that he didn't want you anyway?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Just about everyone called it, bar Rodgers and the committee, obviously.

 

Signing Ings and Origi in the same window as Benteke - coupled with a manager too gutless to play two strikers - was like chucking the pair of them into the career equivalent of the fucking thunderdome.

 

Two strikers enter; one striker leaves with his career intact.

 

We may as well set fire to £10m for every position, it'd save the hassle of the loans and eventually paying off contracts.

We didn't sign Origi this summer. We took a punt after he looked a bit ace at the World Cup. Dont see how this can go down as a transfer blunder yet, could still go either way.

[RoboRiise]

I genuinely have no clue at all what we are doing with our transfer policy at the moment.

 

On the face of it, the idea of buying some promising young players cheap and selling them on in a couple of years when we have added value to them is fine but for a club with much more money to spend than we have.  As things are we've had money tied up in players loaned out all over the place (and not £2m-£3m each either, serious money) when it should be on the pitch every week in the first team and we're not likely to be making profits on them if they go anyway.

 

This idea of signing someone for a couple of million, loaning them out to some club in the arse end of the French league or wherever for two seasons and then they have somehow become good enough to make you a £5m profit is FM shite.  Once in a blue moon it might come off, the rest of the time you just sign a load of Pongolles, Le Tallecs and Palettas.  When you are signing them for £10m and selling at a loss, or the manager just doesn't fancy them, it's time for a rethink.

 

The only consolation (and it says a lot that it has come to this) is that if those players fees and wages had been made available for first team regulars there's a good chance we would just have spent it on more utterly abject shite anyway.

I think the deal was in place with Lille before he got noticed in the World Cup, hence the odd loan back element and relatively low fee. God knows how much we might have been persuaded to pay for him if it hadn't been agreed beforehand.

 

He does look like he needs to go somewhere to re-build his game though. He's not going to do it at Liverpool this season.

[Grinch]

Buy a forward last year and leave him on loan when we had no strikers.   Then send him out on loan the year after cause we have too many average strikers ahead of him.

 

Only Liverpool

[Anubis]

It's getting to the point where this is looking less like bad transfer judgement and more like out-and-out trolling by the transfer committee.

Only Rodgers.

[Jairzinho]

Being Liverpool.

[Denny Crane]

I reckon David Ngog has scored more goals for Liverpool than, Balotelli, Aspas, Lambert and Origi combined.

[ZonkoVille77]

I like the way he can run fast.

[redinthehead]

Runs fast and cant finish. Were he English, that would be worth 49 million pounds.

[Tony Moanero]

Divock Origi is the player Danny Welbeck dreamed of being when he grew up.

probably giving him a rocket.

 

remember the talk of sterling going out on loan at start of 13-14? Kick started him into action.

 

he missed some great chances last night but his movement was good and he did well for our goal.

[The Golden Eel]

Looks more like a winger than a centre forward

[Trumo]

He's the Belgian Danny Welbeck. Will score goals from time to time and has pace and a bit of skill, but is neither a proper centre forward nor a winger.

[The Maca]

I'm going to give him time

that dummy he sold the defender v sion was sublime, unfortunately he hit it at the keeper but there's a player in there

a good manager could develop him into a good player

[Anubis]

If Rodgers stays I give him until the end of the season before he gets his trip to the National Bus station.
