I've just done 10 minutes of YouTube scouting and decided we should sign Gorka Guruzeta.  Putting it here for told you so's at a later date.

 

He looks lively on Strictly, to be fair.

Anybody know how Ugarte has got on at PSG this season? I’ve not followed them at all but thought it strange he would be coming on right at the end vs Barca tonight.

Enrique doesn't rate him because he's not the kind of 6 he wants.

We seem to be getting linked with Alan Verala at Porto, supposed to be scouting him heavily. But unless we are selling some midfielders I'm not sure we much space for more especially if we move to a midfield 2. Endo,Bajectic,Mac Allister and Gravenberch before you look at youngsters.

To be fair, Vitinha has been brilliant, which is probably more than anything what's keeping Ugarte out of the team. Different players, but only space for so many in that midfield.

Zaire-Emery has been pretty good as well.

Looking at his YouTube reel, Verala seems to have a good positional sense and gets into the right place at the right time, wins the ball and plays it simple, two footed. Nothing exceptional.

 

I'd much rather roll with Bajcetic.

Our entire scouting network seems to revolve around watching Portuguese Super Sunday and Monday Nighy Football.

I cant believe that after admitting they’d never seen him pay, a player some posters were frothing at the mouth for us to sign, isn’t that great.

As well as he’s done this season, Endo could go back to being the stop gap he was originally signed as.

Endo isn't the the future of anything though, he's 31. Bajcetic we've no idea if there's a player ready for the PL there. He did well for a few games and has been injured since, who knows if that has set him back or if his fitness is reliable. Grav has proved nothing yet. You've forgotten Dom and Curtis. I think there's loads of room for a good midfielder, because I don't think the bar is too high for someone to get into the side.

Could? The first position the new manager should be looking to bring someone in is at the base of midfield.

Gravenberch will be the big loser from Klopps decision. He would have taken the attitude that I signed him and I'll stick with him until he's the player we think he can be. The new guy will take one look at the windy cunt and want rid. If he didn't turn up for preseason I reckon half the squad wouldn't even notice.

Enrique said in one of his Twitch streams that he wants the most technically gifted player possible playing the 6. So that is not Ugarte. Vitinha playing there is a bit of an invention, but that is what he prefers. 

[TD_LFC]

I'd take Ugarte as the more defensive of the double pivot in a heartbeat if Amorim was manager.

here you go A1 top source obviously

Any chance Usher can drop back, seeing as he's getting on, so maybe being the most gifted finisher the city of Liverpool has seen seen since robbie fowler isn't his best position any more?

Ugarte for Diaz

Nacho is available on a free, I've never seen him have a bad game. Could do worse than a straight swap for Joel.

This is a finisher, get him in.

 

Former Brazil striker Romario has come out of retirement aged 58 and registered to play for America Football Club alongside his son.

Romario, who won the 1994 World Cup, is president of the Rio de Janeiro-based side, who play in the second tier of the Rio regional competition.

 

Romario said he would not play in the league, but wanted to feature in some games alongside his son Romarinho.

Romario played his last game in November 2009.

One of the most nonchalant finishers of all time. Certainly the best chipper of a keeper I've seen. I lived in Brazil for a bit and loads of people I spoke to had him down as their greatest striker.
