everyone talks about how Maradona was a genius. Sorry, but Ronaldinho was one of a kind. and still is. my favorite of all time and I still wear a pair of his boots.
I don’t know too much about Depay’s lifestyle. If it is just a rich young man throwing his money around a bit, good for him. If he is doing things that reveal poor character, then obviously the club will look into that and evaluate, as they do for any prospective signing.
As a footballer he is very good indeed. An instant upgrade on Origi, and a rotation option, along with Jota, so we have five of high quality to go into three.
I wouldn’t mind selling one or both of Keita/Chamberlain TBH. But to sell a player you also need a buyer. I’m also not sure Klopp/Edwards share the same opinion on those two ie they should be considered expendable and it’s time to move one on now.
Sadly LFC might just choose to let their contracts run down and allow them to leave on a free the way we did with Adam Lallana last year and Gini this year.
I was swayed by that Kicker report, so I tuned in to watch Baumgartner. Goal aside, I like the way he plays against Ukraine. Seems like a mobile, proactive player, covers a lot of ground, presses a lot, nice ball control as well. Maybe there’s something in this report, even if it’s just for the future.
