Target Man

[3 Stacks]

Yeah, Diogo is the player that resembles the "true number 9" or "target man" people want. His best qualities are in the penalty area. Unless people are genuinely looking just for someone tall. 

 

Nunez would also be such an alternative but we're not gonna sign him. I suppose there's also the "sign the big name 35 year old striker that is out of contract" thing that people do every summer.

I know he’s not been well but he could still do a job from the bench.

 

Toshack! Jota! One Nil!

 

 

[DalyanPete]

We ain't signing a forward, no need to.

I thought big Div was absolutely fine last night when he came on. No 'pretend' pressing at all.

Same here, what I did notice is he was the only one doing it be that point so probably looked pointless but kept their defence on their toes.

Not really an inspiring moniker for a Super Hero is it ?

Time to bring Big Dom home.

Negged. Like showing a Viet Nam veteran a Chinese bloke carrying a car battery and a nipple ring.

Has Steven Caulker retired yet?

Well, @aRdja wanted him instead of Luis Diaz, so I'd imagine he's still interested. 

Classic Numero post this. Never even heard of Luis Diaz the last time I posted on Bamford, but don’t let it get in the away of making your usual snide remarks. I don’t want this to drag, but have a guess who else wanted us to sign Bamford. Hint: he’s just signed a 4 year contract and his name rhymes with “the kop”.

I’m glad nobody has yet mentioned Patrick Bamford. 

He’s been injured, he needs to show that the injury hasn’t affected him long-term. I’d go for Kai Havertz. A lovely footballer, and this year he’s shown he can handle the pace and physicality of the league.

When did he tell you this?

The title immediately brought to mind:

 

 

Darwin Nunez seems to be potentially a physical forward, if he stops trying to be Anthony Gordon. Ivan Toney could be a possibility, though would cost a fair bit for 5th/ 6th choice. He's a red, though, so not much difficulty persuading him.

Ivan Toney is an absolute dog of a bloke.

So it's made up. Excellent. Saying nice things about a player isn't rare from Klopp. Is it, World Class Divock? Gah, whatever.

Neil Jones is one of the more reliable LFC journalists. The interview from Klopp is also legit, he went out of his way to speak about Bamford at length.
 

Anyways, I’ve given my view on Bamford earlier, the target man we should look at this summer is Kai Havertz. if Everton gets relegated then DCL would be worth a punt. Bamford needs to show that he can return to his pre-injury form, as he’s been injured all year.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I'm sure we will get him, considering how much he 'wanted him'. To be honest, I'd imagine it was part of his contract negotiations. As for Havertz... well, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Bamford didn’t want to move, not long after he signed an extension.

Right, so not only did Klopp want him, but he then went out, tried to get him, but Bamford didn't want to play for Liverpool. Fancy that, you were stop on with your call all along in this bizarre fantasy version of reality.

Did you even read the article? It’s there in black and white. He didn’t want to be fifth choice at Liverpool as he was really enjoying and thriving being the main man at Leeds. Also, I’m not bothered about being “right all along” Numero, I just liked the player, not everyone has an agenda.
