I’d hate to lose Brewster. I want us to do or best to keep building up our young talent instead of shoving then off if they don’t look like a superstar on the first attempt

Ever watched daytime TV?

Pretty sure I was the first person to say I definitely don’t want Fabinho at CB and I still don’t. Anyway, I know fuck all about anything so happy to let JK do his thing.

I am made up if Thiago is coming and Gini stays. Another top player signed who could have gone anywhere but he chose us. Shame we haven’t got a bit more money because we could probably sign just about any player in the world right now. Everyone wants to play for us. I genuinely can’t remember a time when the club has been such an attractive destination for players.

Average age of our squad just went up a notch. :cry:

Average ability of our squad just went up a bit, too.

We’ll see. The prerequisite for that is he plays. :smiley:

next to messi, we just signed probably the most accomplished player in world football over the last 6-7 years. I can’t remember that ever happening as a fan for the last 3 decades. things just got serious!!

I want some recognition too.

When Fabinho signed and he struggled in midfield initially, I thought we have the alternative of trying him at CB to save his Liverpool career.

:joy:

When you spread the payments over a longer period, the seller usually expects an increase in the overall amount paid, not less. This is to account for the effects of things like inflation, and the risks that we simply dont pay (I.e because we go bankrupt), and to compensate for inconvenience in waiting longer for the money.

In which case i am surprised that not only have we been able to spread the payments over 4 years, but it is for less than what we were all expecting. That to me implies it’s not an internal compromise here but an external one with Bayern.

Furthermore, Klopp at the start of the summer spoke about the need to bring in a 4th CB, and Fabinho not being that 4th man. Lynch today (and maybe others) have said that is no longer the case.

Am made up we managed to get this deal done, hard to think of the last time we signed a proven world class player.

Only one that comes to mind in the past 20 years is Markus Babbel and he was a free transfer.
