If we're signing a 30 year old midfielder, why aren't we all over 29 year old Laporte for defence?

 

At least he's proven at this level!

 

Is this you volunteering to be the supporter to buy him a Rolex just for playing his fist game?

Meh, now sign a proper first team midfielder and defender or write off the season for a 3rd time in four years.

Consider it well and truly written off, by the Littlest Big Club That Could.

[YNWAViking]

Endo Vs Fabinho 22/23 season.

Like I've got rolex money, I'm like Liverpool, I haven't even got timex money.

This Endo lad surely can't be 'it' for our midfield business.

 

I can see why we would add him, he offers us some needed depth, has reasonable experience, can cover different positions so offers some flexibility and would likely be an upgrade as a squad player on Keita, Ox and Milner.

 

But he surely has to be in addition to not as our 'main' signing in there over next 2 and a bit weeks....

I'm bad at this prediction stuff, but what it smells like is; this guy now and that's it, André in January to replace Thiago preemptively. Only chance at other big signing this summer is finding a big time CB that replaces Matip preemptively.

 

We'll see.

[Street Preacher]

In isolation doesnt seem to be a bad signing as he's relatively cheap, has good stats, lot of good things being said about him & he's a DM. But on the flipside we've gone from Lavia & Caicedo to a 30yr old Stuttgart player. Quite strange. Also another non homegrown spot gone. 

 

Not sure if this is what Klopp had in mind when he was building his second great Liverpool side. 

 

Desperate for a quality centre back now. 

[Funkasy]

No matter what he will be better than ox and keita combined so its an upgrade on them two

Fucking grim isn't it.

[angie]

This is a good move from us, we’re in a stronger position to negotiate with a dm already in place. Well that’s what I’m telling myself anyway. Welcome to Liverpool!!

I sincerely hope this isn't it - it just won't be enough IMHO.

 

One prediction you are deffo dead on with is "we'll see"

 

 

[Creator Supreme]

Randolph and Mortimer strike again!

[Pidge]

Not sure what suggests that this will be it. There'll surely be more incoming. If anything this is a move to alleviate the short term desperation, while we negotiate for a higher profile target.

[Elite]

Well as far as dopamine hits go. This one's about on par with the alarm clock going off.

[bizzle10]

Fuck it i for one welcome our new cost saving japanese midfield overlord

Maybe we'll be back for pavard now the mancs are out of the way?

Well I was dead on in the end about  Caicedo that it was an unthinkable, crazy move, but we don't have to talk about that haha.

[Saucepan]

He plays with a mouthpiece, like a boxer. Not sure if that`s a bad thing or...

Not sure that “older than Fabinho and ever so slightly better in some metrics while being a significantly worse passer of the ball in an inferior league” is what FSG’s Sunshine Band had in mind, but now we’ll be told he’s great value in a tough market and that will be that. 

[Dr Nowt]

Obviously the timing and context of this move make it seriously underwhelming, but it has to be said, from a quick look and a read, he does sound very much like a Klopp player. He also seems like he might tick the experience, nous, character, grit, versatility and leadership boxes, crucial for squad balance. Him alongside Doucoure and it would feel like a positive move. Him alongside a Lavia would have been decent. Him alongside Caciedo, excellent. Him on his own, yeah, good luck selling that right now, lads!

I don't know. We have to factor in the homegrown stuff too, I guess. I think it's possible one of our signings has to be homegrown. That's the variable that is tough to include.

 

Also the thing with Pavard is, he's the exact same profile as Gomez, who is inexplicably still here, and on a massive contract, so I can't see it. In the club's mind, Pavard is likely redundant.

[Jairzinho]

Well, I think it's fair to say the people who have been criticising the owners are looking a bit stupid now.
