Ex-Player: Takumi MINAMINO

Minamino could make his Southampton debut at Newcastle on Saturday, with Saints looking to bounce back from their record-equaling 9-0 defeat at Manchester United in midweek.

Taki makes his first start straight away today. Named in the XI v Newcastle.

Probably going to have egg on my face here but I reckon this loan spell is going to be huge and he’s going to score/assist
 He’ll come back in the summer a transformed player.

I’m secretly hoping his loan spell will be such a success that Saints will make an offer to buy which we can’t refuse.

They wanted an agreed price in the loan deal, but we refused.

How much was that?

Not bothered about today’s game. Southampton has around 20 games remaining for the season and if Takumi clocks around 1000 minutes, it will be great for all (Liverpool, Southampton and Takumi) concerned.

That doesn’t imply we wouldn’t sell him to Southampton or any other club.

Hope the loan spell is successful. Scores a few goals then sell him for a good fee. Then use those funds in part for a few players in the next window.

Or we want to keep our options open.

I’m seeing Shaqiri as a very good squad option and if Taki fulfills his potential he might become a good squad option.

Is that enough for our standards?

Shaqiri is like the Halley’s Comet. Yeah, he does put on a spectacle; no doubting that. But is it worth the wait???

Lovely goal from Taki. Hope he gets some good game time for the rest of the season.

My word, it’s a quality goal, I’m not even sure he meant to make that first touch, it was that good!

Yet we kept Origi :frowning:

Wasn’t it precisely those ‘controls’ that caused us to doubt him (just didn’t work when he played for us, then again he never was on the end of such nice ‘through’ passes).
