That Carvalho plays like Adam Lallana. I'm not saying that as a compliment by the way.

His turns remind of Coutinho a little bit.

Sort Salah out, buy Bellingham, win the league. 
 

Bellingham, Elliot & (insert dead good DM) has the potential to be the best midfield in the league for 10 years.

Dirk Kuyt is the only player I've seen look shit on a youtube compilation.

Worst compilation ever was Lazar Markovic. It was 13 minutes of Markovic getting tackled and losing the ball. Not one positive thing on it.

Tielemans could be one of those with the potential to massively improve under Klopp and in a better side. Like Jota and Wijnaldum, they were far from superstars until we signed them. 

 

He's the one I really don't want. 

I've only watched him closely a few times and he was lazy as fuck tracking runners. He was a major reason that Leicester bottled that top 4 finish last year, the midfield runners ran off him all game.

There's been minor links with Eduardo Camavinga aswell, not getting games with Madrid, not getting on well with Ancelotti.

That game against Spurs the other week where he gave the ball straight back cheaply from the kick-off, allowing them to score the winner in added time on top of injury time was an absolute shocker. 
 

I’d want him sold if he’d done that here.

Just looked him up. Somehow still only 27 and back at Partizan

He looks pretty good on the ball though. That move at 1:29 is class.

I would say if that was one of our young lads playing like that we would pretty happy with the potential.

 compiling entertaining highlights for a functional defensive minded midfielder.

Fabinho's would be awesome.

Momo Sissoko's 05/06 season highlights were immense, as were Mascherano's 08/09 highlights.

Mark Gonzalez was in this category as well.

 

His compilation featured a suspicious amount of those edits where the clip shows him skinning a player to run down the wing ... and then cuts off before he plays the ball. I suspect that Adama Traore's Youtube highlights define the genre in this category.

Still pains me thinking of the player Sissoko was shaping up to be, pre-injury. He had everything you'd want in a DM.

Also remember the echo's headlwhen we signed him.

Everton top target signs for Liverpool.

Klopp is going to call him Fabs isn't he?

That was his highlights while he was here 

[Scott_M]

And to think, some on here had a pop at me because I agreed with us not paying the £20m Norwich told us they wanted for him…

Mel Reddy has an article, for whatever that's worth, saying the next step is to "substantially strengthen the midfield". I'd say that probably means Carvalho, who could be used in an Elliott-esque role as an offensive #8 and one other player, maybe more of a workhorse, box to box type. Probably in the same 30-50m price range we normally go for. Unless there are big sales, I doubt much more will be done.

If you didn’t want us to sign him and trusted the decision makers at the club to make the right decision, then You’re an FSG shill who gives John Henry blowies.

Think the plan is Tchouameni. I wouldn't pay too much attention to Monaco trying to hike the price.

Maybe for the right price. But I think our interest in someone like Carvalho does indicate we may want to get someone more defensive alongside, like Tchouameni. At least, the chances of getting another more attacking midfielder is lower.

[joe_fishfish]

Another midfield rumour, there's Tchouameni of them now.
