Casemiro?Rumour to Liverpool and signed the same day, we always have months of rumours, so fecking annoying.

I think when we were linked with Gakpo in the summer it was after it became clear we weren’t willing to pay a fortune for Antony, so everyone on here started complaining that we are cheap and he’s just a shitty backup to Antony.£210m. Having got rid of about a third of the wage bill, and another £500k a week freed up with Ronaldo gone.
You think it's justifiable to not sign someone to replace the goals we've lost from Ronaldo leaving, just because we spent more than usual in the summer?
Yeah right after the De Jong fiasco. Good example.Casemiro?

Most people on here didn’t want Gakpo in the summer and it’s only now that Liverpool signed him under the radar that everyone is moaning. We clearly need a striker but let’s just wait and see if we sign an actual striker before freaking out over a player most people didn’t even want?A striker to replace the two that left.
All well and good spending 250m but when 80m of that could have been 40m if we were efficient, and when it's just replacing outgoing players from the squad (Mata, Lingard, cavani, Matic etc), then it's easy to see why it's not enough.
I can't get over Liverpools attacking options. Absolute Madness.
Im fine as long as its not a poundland striker.Most people on here didn’t want Gakpo in the summer and it’s only now that Liverpool signed him under the radar that everyone is moaning.

I think it will likely be a poundland striker in January.Im fine as long as its not a poundland striker.
Absolutely baffled why anyone outraged here.
If we were in Liverpool position and bought him everyone would be saying he a panic buy.
Fans expecting us to buy him, when we just got Anthony, have a on fire rashford playing, have garnacho breaking thru,.......and have a 80mil player there in Sancho who shown more than Geskpo every shown at any stage of their careers.
Strange people are upset about it
How the feck are you annoyed at ending up with Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez and Antony while missing out on Darwin Nunez
I'm not disputing our transfers aren't often protracted, but there was literally an example from the summer where we got a deal done quickly without months of rumours. Casemiro was a seperate transfer from de Jong.Yeah right after the De Jong fiasco. Good example.
I mean maybe if we were being "begged" by the player then it's not that we couldn't get it done but just chose not to?Justifiably.
We chased him in the summer. The player practically begged to join us, more than once. We still couldn't get it done.
Maybe we didn't want to. Who knowsJustifiably.

We signed Antony instead.Maybe we didn't want to. Who knows
Is this actually true? Didn't Antony and Eth come out and say the player told Ajax he wanted to leave since Jan and United made and offer to Ajax much earlier than most thought.We could've got both if we signed Antony when his price wasn't so high. But we dicked around trying to get FdJ like bellends.
Ultimately that's on both, Ten Hag and Murtough for prioritising like nonces.
what goals lost? ronaldo was absolutely useless this season
Amazing isn’t it ? Of all the money we wasted over the years this summer is one that we got completely right even if we did have to over pay a bit.Everyone acting like we were the mugs of the summer transfer window in a year where three of the players we signed (Licha, Eriksen and Casemiro) have already become pretty integral to the side and another one is a high-performing first-team regular (Antony) is absolutely hilarious.
It's too early to say for definite but right now our hit rate in the summer window is at a minimum 60% (unless you insist on counting Dubravka who has barely played), which is not bad going by any team's standards.
He plays in the same position as Garnacho and Rashford. Not a big loss. We need a central striker.
Glaziers OutWe spent £250m or something last summer.
what fecking more do you lot want?
I bet all the worms are crawling out of the woodwork now.
The same fellas who don't understand why we would be interested in Gapko in the first place -- are now slagging off the club for being gazumped by the Scousers.
The Caf in a nutshell.
Yeah and that ABU media will take pleasure in asking Erik about it pre match tonight
I think could be great for Liverpool sadly.
For those who thinks he's not a striker, I think he has all the tools to become one, from little what I've seen at the World Cup.
He's quick over short distance, good finisher with feet and headers, and he got the size to play upfront (he's 6'3"). He's a strange one as a winger cause I don't think he got the dribbling ability and pace to be one, but played there because he's an excellent crosser of the ball.
I believe he'd end up as a striker for sure, like I mentioned above, got all the tools to become one. What I don't know if all that translate to become the main striker at a top club.
I mean lets not forget that the two feckers have the same agent after all.
What is your take on this deal not happening
Seen his goal highlights. I've not seen such clean striking of a football, with either foot, and minimal back lift in a long time. The amount of times he cuts in from the left and bends it with power and precision in the top corner from far out.
Now I know people will argue it's only highlights videos but the last time I had seen such spectacular shooting was Forlan before he joined us. Whilst he did struggle here those early videos/goals were exactly the type he continued to score throughout his career.
Gakpo's traits remind me of Greenwood but is fair to say Gakpo has done more in his career than Greenwood had done (before someone steps in to say Gakpo is average and Greenwood was a generational talent).
