If we do sign Diaz then we should do our bit to help Everton get Relegated and Loan Divock Origi to Norwich,Minamino to Watford and sell Nat Phillips to Newcastle 25m. Could make a big difference in them going down :grinning::grinning::grinning:

Except that part.

no doubt, Rodgers couldnā€™t develop a talent the way Klopp and his crew have been able to work with the current squad.

Iā€™ll always love Aspas for the brace he scored against Barca when Celta beat them. Alberto, Suso were all potential talents that Rodgers just couldnā€™t help elevate to the next level.

and personally was never a fan of Benteke or Carroll, they didnā€™t suit how we play.

How about Everton and Newcastle get relegated and Sean Dyche gets hit by a meteor?

Julian Ward failing the Edwards test here. Maybe the next one will be the Fabinho standard of linked, wait, signed!!! Maybe an extra couple of hours because Diaz is in South America?

The last trip an Anfield exec took to South America to sign someone that I remember is Ian Ayre riding his motorcycle across the Atlantic (guys, i know) and coming back with Firmino. And good lord, I hope Diaz looks better than Bobby did in his first 6 months. I thought he might have been the worst Brazilian attacking player I had ever seen. It all worked out though, so hereā€™s hopingā€¦

Diaz to LFC
Mane to PSG
Mbappe to Real

thatā€™s what I can see happening.

:colombia: THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF LUIS DIAZ :colombia:

Luiz Diazā€™ story is incredible and despite all the talent, itā€™s a miracle he was able to have a professional career. At 17 he was severely underweight, unknown and playing on a dusty pitch in his remote village.

Luis DĆ­az grew up close to a mining settlement, he ate goat for almost every meal, he didnā€™t have a television and in the evenings he would listen to his grandma tell stories. He is from an indigenous Wayuu family and he played football in the village team run by his family.

Colombia was looking to put together a team for the Copa America of Indigenous People in Chile.

Luis DĆ­azā€™ family was invited to send some players from the club to Bogota for a trial. Luis went but was initially written off as too skinny but in training he impressed and was picked.

He impressed in Chile and caught the eye of Colombian legend Carlos Valderrama. ā€˜El Pibeā€™ took him to his former club Junior for a trial, they liked him and sent him to their second division affiliate Barranquilla FC. They said he needed to add 10kg & was on a high protein diet.

He impressed at Barranquilla and was brought across to Junior in 2017, by 2019 he was off to Europe with Porto.
