We'll be getting all of Everton's Columbian fans too. Bonus.

What the article says is we contacted Porto to ask about Diaz because he was our number one target but they initially quoted us 80m (his buy out clause). We turned it down. Then due to the financial d

Are we turning into the dumbest run club in the country. 

 

Why the fuck are they signing a winger now when Salah and Mane are back soon. 

 

Why aren't they buying a fucking replacement for Wijnaldum which has fucked us all season long. 

 

I'm far from a fan of FSG but if this is a thing I don't really think you can kick off about them signing someone who is highly rated that potentially really improves our attack a lot.

 

Personally, I've only seen Luis Diaz when he played us and I didn't see a huge amount to be impressed, he was quick and the pundits and commentators raved about him being dangerous but he really didn't seem to actually do anything with the ball. That said his goal scoring record is reasonable for his age and if anyone can do something to make him special it's Klopp, Salah, Mane and Jota were all scoring goals but not massively standing out and look what he did with them.

 

If it's true that Origi and Minamino might be going and we're potentially almost swapping them out for this guy I don't really see an issue with that.

 

A set of attackers comprising Mane, Salah, Jota, Firmino and this guy, plus the option of the likes of Jones, Elliott and Gordon to slot in for cup games seems pretty decent to me. Mane can play either wing, Jota can play in any of the 3 positions and Salah can play right or up top (didn't he also play left wing at Roma?) so you can use 5 players, rotate quite a bit and keep them fresh and also hopefully keep them all happy game wise by actually treating the cups as something worth bothering with.

A couple of opinions from the Porto fans...

 

"literally the best player of the last 10 years. sold for almost a third of the value of João Felix."

 

"Sporting Lisbon sell their players for 60, or 120 million, but here? 45 million and our best player is gone, slapstick comedy. If he's to go at this ridiculous price at least force Liverpool to have to leave him here until the summer."

 

"As incompetent as our board is, I always thought that about 60 million plus 5-10 in add ons was the minimum to sell Diaz. Turns out, they managed to surprise me."

 

"I just want to let out a scream waking up the whole neighbourhood, fuck it, what a pain."

 

"Is this the way we're going to go? Are we possibly going to risk the season for 45 million?

Selling the best player in this league by far for a measly 45 million? Is João Feliz worth almost 3 Diaz's? In a year in which, although it is difficult to win the Europa League, we can have strong aspirations, are we going to give a shit about that and the possible strong financial income that winning the Europa could bring us? This direction is shit, but to be honest, this is just ridiculous, I've never felt so angry. We'll give up everything so Diaz can eat the bank for the rest of the season."

 

"As good as he is, a player who leaves mid-season because he prefers another club will never have my respect."

 

"These players these days don't have any backbones either. Leaving a team and a club (which gave him a lot) midway through a season in the name of a contract that was more than guaranteed in the summer shows a total lack of character. They are puppets of entrepreneurs. They don't deserve half the fawning they receive from the fans.

Edit: But this is an aside because, as I said in other comments, this situation is all the fault of the cancers who make these decisions and who accept us selling the club's best asset for a plate of lentils. It is upon them that the wrath of the fans must fall."

    Please say it ain’t so. €45m plus €15m add-ons, which probably explains why we never signed him last summer.

    Not done yet, but strong rumours it’s happening.

Porto were hit with a fine for breaching FFP in December and have until 31 January 2022 to settle unpaid debts which probably plays into our hands.

They also lost out by not qualifying for the last 16 of the CL. I’d assume we’re probably writing off the Grujic money as well.

This lad plus another midfielder and we are back on for everything this season.


If we can keep Thiago fit, then IMO everything is possible. 
 

But yes, a starting central midfielder needs to be the #1 priority in the summer.
