There's always an excuse with us and that's the issue
We're still drafting up our proposal to benfica
Jesus….serious Lusaka vibes. I wonder if they’ve reacted to City signing Haaland. Could be a mistake.
Dodged a bullet thankfully. He’s not that good really.
All this Nunez and Haaland talk is funny. I can't believe what I'm reading. Now we're supposed to be scared of bang average, limited players. Stop buying into the media hype and use your eyes.
Julian Alvarez is a striker that everyone should fear. A better and more versatile/complete player than both Nunez and Haaland.

Amazed at the fee here for him.
Seems like he’ll need some coaching to work on certain aspects of his game. I don’t think Klopp signs off on these transfers unless he thinks he can make it work.
I do wonder if we’ll try and change how we play next season. We started last season playing Harvey Elliott a fair bit as a number 10/advanced 8 and we’ve got Carvalho coming in as well. Maybe we try to go to a 4-2-3-1.

What the feck have we come to when darwin nunez cost 100 million... 
Darwin Nunez came from Uruguay
English press said he had no chanceugay
100 mill down the drain
Darwin Nunez scores again!
Hopefully it'll go down as well for them as it did for us.

I remember Klopp being shocked with Pogba's price back in the day, yet he doesn't have a problem spending big again.
A good read for comparison with Haaland, also who to replace Mane for Liverpool

The fee is insane. Im sure we were interested but not for that price. We will look foolish if he ends up being world class though, but I don’t see anyone else in for him either.
Striker is very expensive in today's market and that's why Haaland is such a good deal for City no matter how much sign on fee City needed to pay. Liverpool still need to pay sign on fee and agent fee on top of transfer fee for Darwin Nunez.
It only looks foolish if you buy into social media nonsense. It's clear that currently Pool are a better proposition and also clear that 100million on a striker is too much for this summer. People who think we should just spend 300 million in one summer are very out of touch.
Haaland is a fantastic signing for City. He is world class and can become the best striker in the world. But I really think Liverpool has taken a chance with Darwin. His technique is really poor. I am sure he is going to score goals, but hardly to the extent Liverpool expect
Personally I thought the price was ridiculously high, regardless of how high Benfica rated him, yes he has scored a few goals in the Primera Liga and a couple against top teams in Europe, but the premier league is the toughest league in the world for a reason. Had the price been a lot lower €60 million for example then maybe…..maybe that could be acceptable, but €80 million plus addons taking it to €100? I mean you only have to look to Lukaku. I’m glad we haven’t pulled the trigger at that price, we are meant to be moving away from that, this price tag is reserved for universally proven players with little risk.

Why is everyone saying 100 million? I thought we brexited?
Huge gamble
If this pay offs then fair play

The press will build him up as the next R9 and how it’s shrewd business by Liverpool
You guys lost him originally for nothing spend a fortune to get him back now lost him for nothing. He will be boss in Italy like he is generally for France. Maybe issue is your club.
All transfers are a gamble but if I was a scouser, I’d be backing the deal purely because of Klopp, he’ll turn him into a top talent as he has done with most of their team. Goes to show how important manager/coach are, players are secondary.
That's a win-win for me.
Turns out shite and they got him.
They turn him good and NT has the Cavani replacement sorted.
At United it was a nailed-on lose-lose.
By the way, you have some great clips there @Raees
This one loses a bit of credibility when you go full muppet and shpw how we could play with DDG, Shaw, Varane, Bruno, Sancho and another 6 new players
Intent/direction and not necessarily next season I guess, but still

Player quality is definitely more important than having a good manager. (Not that you don’t need both obviously.)
And how Klopp works miracles on a budget
Still working with the Coutinho money. He is a smooth operator.
That (almost) got them Fabinho, Keita and Allison.
Liverpool getting 40 50m for Mane so actual fee is more 30 40M and they getting 8 year younger replacement. Liverpool do not mess around these days.
Well it seems to be done, he shall be named the Uruguayan andy carrol from now one.
Hopefully he'll live up to it.

Good player but the price is insane if true. I‘d say I would take Antony instead this summer.
He was very good though , it’s not like Diaz was playing poorly. Everyone knew how good he was he was just adding end product on a more consistent basis.
Nunez for 100M tellls me Liverpool got fleeced. Still he may do well but very overpriced
I’ve been saying this, the numbers are good but even pizzi scores 21 goals and 15 assists for Benfica. Cardozo was better etc.
His actual overall play is not that good imo.
Hahaha. Love it !
Well no if we're doing this logic you're signing nunez for around 40 million but losing Mane on a free.
Benfica get 75M now.
then 5M after 10 games.
10M after 60 games and another 10M for individual and collective team performance.
= 100M
then 5M after 10 games.
10M after 60 games and another 10M for individual and collective team performance.
= 100M
To me it feels like Pool needed a reaction after losing the final and City buying a strong striker.
If you believe Haaland is a limited player then I question your judgement on players. Hardest thing in football is to put the ball in the net, and he’s getting one to one goal ratio with Norway.
