The Unreliable LFC Transfer Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 3)

A friend who’s a RM fan thinks it’s quite likely too. Apparently some mumblings there.

Gary off YouTube says that Hincapie is going to Madrid.

What is going to happen to TAN in the off season, if we complete all our signings within the next couple of weeks?

We still have outgoing to obsess about… and of course the team always needs just one more perfect signing.

But his numbers are staggering mate. Haven’t watched him enough to make a call. He has more than 60 goals and assists this season in all competitions though I get he is playing in the Portugal league.

His numbers are near on identical to Nunez prior to joining.

This is not, in fact, true.

Nunez’s two years in Portugal prior to joining us:

Gyokeres’ last two seasons in Portugal:

Nunez’s one good season prior to joining us feels like very much the outlier for him, Gyokeres is on nearly a goal a game across 100 games. If you look at goal contributions (ie G&A), Gyokeres is on 122 in the last 100 games in Portugal.

I don’t know whether Gyokeres is the striker for us, I suspect not as there’s no indication we’re interested, but imo you don’t put up those kind of numbers in any major European league without being very, very good.

  1. Hughes tanked because he was pressured into signing players early and this paid above the odds. If only he took more time to negotiate.

  2. We did not sell Konate because he did not sign a new contract. Despite it needing Konate wishes, it’s FSG fault anyway.

  3. The last time the club decides to do Asian pre season, we started the season poorly. The club sacrificed results for money. Sell out!

  4. John Henry did not attend every Liverpool match. Commitment questioned.

Please add to the list

What fascinates me is that despite the common narrative, Jürgen didn’t “overrule” the data team in Núñez’s signing. I think Graham was specific that Núñez simply wasn’t a fit for the way we were playing back then, i.e. that he wasn’t a Firmino-type striker. It wasn’t that he didn’t have the ability. I’d imagine our data team have the expertise to identify when a player is just a flash in a pan vs the real deal.

I feel like this will make for a great story in 10 years time.

Can’t win them all. Our recruitment has been excellent for a good few years. Nunez did not hit the heights we expected. He might still go on to do that elsewhere, but in all likelihood he will score in fits and starts. We will probably get most of our money back and we will reinvest. From an accounting perspective it will be profit, after amortization.

All’s well that ends well. Good luck to Nunez wherever he lands.

Interesting development, if they come with a big bid we’ll definitely need to keep Diaz and look for a replacement for Gakpo. Maybe Mbeumo??

Replace billion with million and they’ve got the deal. Will even sell your left ball sack.

Yeah that’ll be fine because I’ll still have the right ball sack.

@sbym is on hand for that.
