Even forgetting the Haaland comparison, compare him to other goalscorers last season:
Who?
Someone should tell him the charity shield is just a glorified friendly and not the World Cup. fecker fell to his knees celebrating at the final whistle

Given Liverpool’s upturn in fortunes has been heavily to do with scouting precision and excellent recruitment I’m finding it surprising that there’s such conviction that Núñez was the wrong buy. There’s enough evidence to suggest Núñez is in good hands and the process works.

Looking forward to your trophy parade for the community shield.
It's funny watching all the scousers take the bait. Everyone can see from the guys short career so far that he is a fantastic talent. A few bad touches in pre season when trying to adapt to a new style and much quicker pace doesn't really mean he is poor technically, I am fairly sure the Liverpool transfer team will have done their homework more than us. He definitely brings a new dimension and could really improve their side. With 5 very good forwards, he doesn't even have to start all games.
I'd imagine they need him to be more than a relative success given they spent a 100 million on the bloke.
Loris Karius
Sure but that doesn't mean mistakes or overspend can't happen. Keita hardly looks like value for the money spent on him, for example.
If this is your argument on seven years, I'd say that definitely validates the argument that our recruitment is excellent and that the process works.
Just a few examples; I'd say it works as much as it fails. To call it " scouting precision and excellent recruitment" is a huge understatement. there are many in the squad who are still to determine if they are a success, and were legacy signings or proven quality before going to Liverpool.
If you insist I won't argue.
It's called sarcasm
Sure
You got clarity it as sarcasm... happy to wait for an explanation to support this " scouting precision and excellent recruitment" and "process that works"Sure
Out of those only Keita and Chamberlain were big money signings and they have been ridden by injuries. Many of those cheap punts they sold on a profit. Let’s be honest, Liverpool get their scouting spot on these days and Nunez is much more likely to be a success than not. The money spent is nice for banter but ultimately it won’t really matter if it brings success.
Good effort.
What he's missing is every team is going to have a few flops. The intensity and the magnitude of these flops & sucesses is what matters. Liverpool have done phenomenally well in this regard.
Alisson
There is a need to be careful with using monetary values, Robertson is a success, at 8m, yet Minamino 7.5m isn't/wasn't a success. Should the later be ignored but the former be included as a success?
The notion of success is interesting.
Come on lad
I think everyone agrees that your record in recruitment has been excellent over the past few years, a lot of posters on here have said great things about it. But it's different to saying it's perfect, there have been flops too (less so than other clubs of course, for the most part), and Núñez could turn out to be another of those as much as he could be a resounding success. It's impossible to know at this stage.
Unable to comment on a midfielder that won a UCL and the league?
The best thing about this largely clueless sentiment is it is actually shared by a large section of Utd fans. And with instant modern technology the sentiment quickly filters upward to the likes of Woodward, etc, when he was there. Obviously he's not fully led by this sentiment but it's fair to say smashing up your own stadium, or going to the CEO's house en masse had some impact.
it's reaching to say Diaz, Jota, Konate and Matip are a success.
Matip and Jota are successful signings so far.
Best you could argue is that the jury is still out on Konate. The others are obviously successes.
I'm curious to hear who you think are Uniteds successful signings in the same time period. Could you make a similar list there to what you made for Liverpool?
How do you explain how good Liverpool are - arguably the second best team in the world? Their recruitment has been fantastic. Scouting can still apply to 'already good players' you still have to go out and get them.
?? He had one good season so far. The other ones were injury riddled, and he struggled in his first two years IIRC.Best you could argue is that the jury is still out on Konate. The others are obviously successes.
If Utd had signed a CB on a free who performed like Matip the last few seasons I’d like to see you argue that it’s a reach to call him a success
Matip (as far as I remember) came on a free and has been a top 5 CB im the premier league for the past 3/4 years IMO.
Another top point here.
Was, there is no evidence on recent signing it still is.
Diaz after one season 6 goals in 26 appearances. Nah I'm not buying that as a success for his position.Best you could argue is that the jury is still out on Konate. The others are obviously successes.

I thought I was watching it live on the telly but it was just some dippers on crimewatch who hijacked a double decker
No it isnt. Diaz has some time but the others are quite clear successes.
Nobody tell this guy they finished 3rd with 69 points just two years ago..
Second to none?!
