The Unreliable LFC Transfer Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 3)

For a Liverpool fan to not use Jan Molby as the example here, and to use a Man U player instead, is unforgivable. :laughing:

Loved Molby and being a former prison officer, I heard stories of him plating 5 a-side and nutmegging other players all the time.

BTW Molby isn’t heavy, he was big soft and cuddly like blancmange xxx

I know he getting old when he retired but he wasn’t moldy.

I haven’t seen much of him. I know he’s highly regarded. I was under the impression he was more of a #10 temporarily doing a job on the right, rather than a potential replacement for Mo, though.

Not sure what you mean by too many issues.
He’s a top professional…

I have decided to test the theory and have spent the last 20 years bulking up. I can confirm I can shoulder barge old ladies but have lost a yard of speed :slight_smile:

You are Anatoly and I claim my £5 :0)

Not seen too much of Ekitike. I did see he had a troubled time at PSG, when his loan including an obligation to buy that was triggered when neither he nor PSG really wanted their relationship to continue.

Contracted until 2029 to Frankfurt, so it’ll be at least a Ā£50m transfer I suspect.

Diaz now being linked with a Saudi club.

Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr could make a move for Liverpool and Colombia winger Luis Diaz, 28, as an alternative to Real Madrid and Brazil forward Vinicius Jr. (Talksport, external)

I was taking the piss but perhaps not too far from the truth.

From Virgil yesterday

I think Liverpool should be able to challenge for titles in the upcoming years," he said after the game.
ā€œWhatever happens in terms of players going out, players coming in, I think it should be a big summer. I think they’re planning to make it a big summer, so we all have to trust the board, as a Liverpool connected fan, to do the right job.ā€

In fairness they are professional athletes. Retaining a body weight range is necessary. Nowhere near as taxing as faced by cyclists, for instance. In the pantheon of difficult working conditions it really doesn’t rate.

It goes the other way as well. What a physique that is ready to perform looks like in lots of sports is often quite different from what people have in their head of the chiseled adonis image. That is true even of some athletes themselves, and its long been part of the job to divert them away from what are often counter productive efforts to get jacked or shredded by players who think that is what they need to perform. I’ve heard from several people their anecdotal experience of this being a bigger problem with this generation of athletes, presumably because of social media exposure
