FFS Pearce if you were part of a coin toss you’d shout heads and tails and claim victory.

Great news, give him Lovren’s no.6 and let’s finally play football.

I’m not convinced Gini is not leaving, or maybe even someone else.

WHAT WILL THIAGO ALCANTARA BE LEANING ON?

  • ā€˜Edgy’ urban wall, with comms approved graffiti on it.
  • Half of twitter saying ā€˜told you so’.
  • The other half of Twitter now calling FSG cunts for not signing a centre back.
  • Paul Joyce looking pleased with himself
  • A table with a bit of paper on it. No-ones even pretending anymore FFS.
  • Jürgen, making a wanker sign at the Bayern Chairman.
  • Boxes of missing vapour shirts
  • Frank Lampard, hammering on a calculator to see if there’s a way to spin this.

Pearce reporting that a fee has been agreed.

Odds of him being declared a flop in 3 games? There’ll be expectations that he’ll create everything and then finish on his own, whilst stopping all attacks of the opposition. Doesn’t matter what kind of midfielder he is.

But then we are getting him in 30 Mn, which is cheaper than Keita. So he’ll get 10 games. Sorry.

Even if he did I’m so much happier we aren’t waiting for that before securing our target.

As you say Thiago is an upgrade in our midfield irrespective of anyone going.

Lovren’s number and from Moreno’s country… what can possibly go wrong :laughing:

I’m hoping he has a chameleon shirt so he can play fly keeper and ref. If he’s not perfect at each then FSG out.

Chamberlain looks the odd one out in the midfield now that Thiago is on his way, arguably 8th choice as it currently stands. We’ll see how much Klopp trusts him to cover the front 3.

It may suggest we have some moves out lined up now.

Real shame as I love the lad but if he can’t be trusted to be fit, he just won’t fit.

So I take it he is now definitely coming or still in the speculation phase.

Could be Brewster moving on? Not directly linked but similar fees mooted.

With the Ox being fairly injury prone and Keita being worse it may not be the Ox who moves on. Keita has to be one frustrating signing for Klopp.

Swap a promising kid for a world class older player? Yep.

I don’t see Keita moving on. He plays regularly when fit and often contributes to our wins.
