Balotelli and Lambert.
Yeah, I imagine Hugo will be CF and LW.
Apart from the recent example given by ZinedineBiscan, Suarez and Sturridge.
Iām quite sure that heāll still get a lot of playing time. Heās incredibly good and his ceiling seems to be incredibly high. Iām not too concerned about that.
By the way, he didnāt come for cheap eitherā¦
Those were the times, eh?
We spent £125m and £70m on our future though.
Since 2020 the club has done an exceptional job of turning over forwards and having bedded in forwards to pick up the slack: Jota 2 seasons before and Diaz 6 months before ManƩ departed, Bobby 12 months after that. Those were big money signings as well and we had Sadio, Bobby,Salah, Jota and Diaz on the books at one point.
Weāll see if Salah sticks around until 2027. Itās possible both sides agree to part ways earlier if Salahās form dips, which would justify this even more.
I could also talk about the game every 4 days until Jan (assuming the 8-9 day break we get once a month will be filled with domestic cup games or internationals?)
But nah, itās mostly continuing on with what weāve done for 5 years, preparing for the worst (departures) but having bedded in backups waiting in the wings ,all the while having the right level of quality across the board to push ourselves in every competition.

Manbag thread
Oddly seems humble after all the talk of him being flashy.
He looks like a 60s era slam poetry guy on his way to debate with friends on whether X or MLK has the better answer to their problems
Apparently he put a picture of himself on social media earlier of himself inside his car⦠while he is driving it.!
Jeeeez, the vultures will be on him in no time⦠not the sort of publicity he, or LFC want me thinksā¦
Idiot Liverpool star films himself on his phone driving £200k Merc before Snapchat post
Hugo Ekitike, 23, has enjoyed a bright start with the Reds after joining them this summer but his off-field actions are now bringing him some unwanted attention

ill know well play it down as being over the topā¦butā¦if he was filming himself drivingā¦its not the smartest move given everything that has happened ā¦
Deschamps has done this previously to another player if Iām not mistaken. Cuntā¦

Apart from maybe trying to see out a bit of time with a slender 2-1 lead, what was the point of doing that?
Was it just that the ball stayed in play for 5 mins plus whilst they waited to get him on.
Its his job. Doesnt matter.
Was it his debut for them?
If so it could be he brought him on to stop him eventually playing for another country
Made his debut a few days before.
Thatās feasible I suppose.
Itās a still a cap, which I think matters to players.
