I was going to quote something that Robin Williams said in Good Morning Vietnam but some people may have thought it a tad insensitive.
Instead, hereās the Mbappe version:
āMbappe, Mabappe
Tie me to a tree and slap meā
Because weāll all need to be slapped now and then in order to accept the reality that he is playing for us.
Yes, I have been drinking.
You sound sensible.
I once entered a peugeot dealership to enquire about the RCZ that was in the shop window knowing well that i could not afford it
I heard that Mr Mike has already agreed wage terms with Mbappe. In order to not disrupt the wage systems and piss off the senior players who did so well for our team, Mbappe will get a base pay of just 100K pounds per week and a bonus of 100K per goal he score every week. This means he is going to get paid 400K pound every week. I am in the know.
Around 2 million pounds for Liam Millar according to James Pearce? Surely it has to be with add-ons included?
Gravenberch, Coman and Izak. As long as we donāt lose important players thatād be decent although Iād still be nervous without a 2nd new good CB added.
Coman is injury prone.
And would be one of 7 attackers with Salah, Firmino, Mane, Jota and Elliott joined by Coman and Izak.
You can do everything within your power and sign a player with a good injury history like Keita and then them miss so much football through injuries theyāre almost worthless despite their talent.
Coman could come and not get injured for ages, a player with no past injuries could come and pick up knock after knock. Yes ideally you avoid buying players with bad injury histories but itās not an exact science.
If Coman is who we are buying his quality, potential and experience on the top stages make me reasonably confident he can handle being here and be a top player for us under Klopp. Not who Iād have picked maybe but a decent enough one, like Konate, if itās who the club has decided on.
Great player but that injury record is hugely concerning. In addition to the sheer volume of injuries, itās that most of them are niggly muscle injuries and we know how they go when youāre asked to work as hard as Klopp demands.
If weāre labelling Matip, Keita, Ox and increasingly Henderson as injury prone then this lad would fall into that same camp and thatās got to be a concern.
Then thereās the reports of him turning down more than Ā£250k a week from Bayern as heās looking for in excess of Ā£300k a week.
Smacks of Bayern looking to drum up some interest so they can sell him this summer rather than on the cheap next summer when his value will have dropped with just one year remaining on his contract.
Won the league title every season heās played in for three different clubs hasnāt he? Could do with a good omen like that. Bring on the continued influx of French players as well, create that environment for Mbappe.
Wasnāt that the case for Thiago as well?
I donāt believe this for one secondā¦but allow me to dream for a moment.
I just canāt see any way a new deal doesnāt get done with Bayern.
New rumor I just heard has LFC bidding for Bayern Winger Kingsley Coman. The guy has blazing speed and would be a quality addition on the wing. If we can also add Donyell Malen to the mix, count me as really excited for our attack this upcoming season!!
How fast is Kingsley Coman?
35.9 km/h
Thereās fast, and then thereās Kingsley Coman. The Frenchman was measured at a top speed of 35.9 km/h in Saturdayās top-of-the-table clash against RB Leipzig, setting a new season record in the Bundesliga.Dec 6, 2020
Just something interesting about Malen how he got his name. When he was born, he was really noisy and screaming and yelling at the top of his lungs so out of desperation, his mother shouted, stop stop Donāt Yell!! So there it is, Donyell Malen
If that happened to @Scott.Jones heād be called Shudafukup jones
I would really love this one. Was devastated when he went to Bayern, for free.
If Jota, Elliot and one of Coman/Malen becomes our shadow to the default great trio or even take over their place along the season/s, I would be contented with that.
Malen needs about 20 chances to score 2 goals, we have Firmino for that.
