Apparently no 6 shirt.

Just how does Edwards manage to sort such good deals like these out when yesterday we hadn’t even made contact with Bayern Munich…all the journos said so.

If Thiago plays to his best there’s no horses for courses here, he’ll be first choice in any important game IMO.

One of the very very few players in the world who can be considered an improvement on what we have in the starting XI. And we are getting him on about 1/4th the price of Harry Maguire. FFS.

Not sure that sounds right, the £ fell over the last week, the price should go up :thinking:

Even Bayern were saying we were not in contact with they yet!

Edwards: We’ve won the league at a canter, how do we improve on that?
Klopp (half joking): I dunno, maybe a 29 year old Alonso/Mascherano rolled into one player ha ha?
Edwards: Hold.My.Beer.

There is some clear revisionism going on here. Most people were not saying these things.

I’m surprised a club when selling to us doesnt just ask for the bonuses/add on clause to be a % of money saved from deals Edwards negotiates rather than on field success of our team or new player…

So who misses out ?

I’d still have Henderson there , It’ll have to be Fabinho missing out with one of Keita/Oxlade/Minamino in a more advanced role

It could be situational but I think Taki and Ox will feature more in the front 3 rotation , leaving Keita,Wijnaldum and Thiago for the midfield, Hendo , Jones and Fabinho also part of the midfield rotation.

Where’s the left over money Edwards has saved you on this, John?

None misses out. Subject to their respective fitness the players are going to clock 2500 minutes.

Henderson is a shoe in based on last season’s form, the other spots up for grabs.

There’s no way you’d pick Chamberlain over Thiago in any midfield role tbh. Thiago is a better player than Gini, Fabinho and Keita too, it’s just a question of how well he adapts.
