Looks like an attacking mid dribbly boy. Newcastle seemingly trying to get him over the line? Why would we want him when Elliot and Carvalho are already here?
Yep, that’s more like the Liverpool we know and what I expected.
No shiny Mbappes and Bellinghams, but rather a bunch of players who 80% of people never heard of, let alone saw them playing enough to form an opinion.
And from clubs of the levels of Brighton, Nice, Gladbach, Celta, etc.
I can’t help but feel that, although we’re being linked with both Kone and Thuram, we’re only interested in signing one of them with the other a backup target.
I think the same thing happened with Mount and Mac, and it’s interesting in that Joyce article that United moved onto Mount after Mac told them he wanted to join us… I think it’s entirely possible we had the same set of priorities and, when we started to gain momentum with Mac we dropped interest in Mount. I do think there was too much smoke around that interest for it to have been entirely manufactured.
Wouldn’t say he’s ace nor shite, but the difference between how much football fans wanted him at their club in last years before his move to Barca and now is… starkling.
Fans very easily warm to that, seeing a physical midfield unit.
