Who gives a fuck.  

Yeah I agree it's a bit cringey.

It's half decent but I hate how lazy it is, leave AI for the teams who can't come up with a good chant (reeks of Chelsea to me that).

 

How about repurposing an old fan favourite?

He's got a daft, idiot grin.

You can just hear these words coming from Messi’s mouth.

Soap-dodging, inbred gremlins. Tremendous.

Yep, I'm stealing that one.

I thought all gremlins are inbred?

The reported figure of £35m plus add-ons makes this a very good value deal, and we have a player well suited to performing the Gini role for us. A couple more high quality and high-energy midfield additions (Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram seem to be the two most strongly linked) plus a defender, and we have a much stronger squad than last season. Whoever we bring in though needs to have durability in their locker.

This lad has a really good record - hardly ever injured.  So it is a start.

 

According to transfermarkt this is his record:

 

20/21	Back Injury	3 days	1
20/21	Virus Infection	35 days	3

I think at worst, he will be a really solid squad player. As a profile, a good comparison would be Wijnaldum, where he is technically good enough, intelligent enough and hard working enough that you could put pretty much anybody around him and the midfield will work. And like Wijnaldum, though he was seen as a number 10 initially, I dont think you want him as the most forward thinking midfielder and most creative player. You want to use him as a stabilizing presence. But it will be interesting because he shoots a lot. I wonder if Klopp will coach that out of him a bit like with Wijnaldum, or what. I do think logically we will want to use his goal threat.

12 goals last season in 40 games.

 

Now of course a it will depend on his role with us and we set up differently to Brighton - but that sort of ability to find the net could be a real bonus for us. Think i posted yesterday he attempted the 2nd highest average shots on goal per game for a midfielder last season.

Milner golas do not count.

It'll be interesting to see how Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago react when there's genuine competition* for their places.

 

 

 

 

(*No offence to Harvey, Curtis and Stef; they might reach a point where they look like first-choice midfielders, but they're not there yet.)

They'll continue in the way they did when Bajcetic was there. The energy will help a lot but I'd like to think that El Macca is one of three or four newcomers.

[VladimirIlyich]

I'd like to take issue with Macca's Dad saying Messi is better than Maradona due to longevity. He then went on to describe how the weight of everything was on Maradona's shoulders without mentioning how Diego was almost crippled every week. If Maradona was playing in the modern game he'd have lasted a lot longer. There is also a fair argument that Diego's love affair with 'the white stuff' could easily have been triggered by him constantly being assaulted on the pitch every week. Would Messi have lasted half as long in Maradona's day? Both great players but comparison is impossible.

Christ, those genes have been sat at the bar with a dram, glaring at anyone that comes near, for generations. Looking at Alexis I'm guessing it was finally their round.

How come you're not sure mate? He's proven Premier league quality?

 

There are good things about him. He is very technical which I like and he is a ball retainer which fits into Klopps system very well. His ability to keep the ball and use it in a way where it will be kept is surely why we got him and it does make sense. 

 

He is an "all action" midfielder and can contribute to both the defence and attack. 

 

He's not the most physically gifted player in the world I think its fair to say. 

 

I dunno. There are definately positives but I still have the same feeling I had as I did with Gakpo and Nunez (and Keita for that matter) and that even though he is proven in the premier league.

 

The feeling is that I'm at least as anxious as I am excited. I'd just like to sign players where I am more excited than anxious. 

 

Could just be a creeping negativity on my part. There's certainly a lot to admire about the lads game and plenty he can bring.  

 

 

[Jordy Brouwer]

He just needs to be what Keita should have been but wasn't.
