The Spanish/Serb kid looked pretty good last season from what I saw of him, atleast as a back up option he isnt too bad. But yes they dont have a lot of experience in there.
This....isn't true is it? I keep seeing random people saying it, but not anywhere official. Unless I've missed it. At least not for this season coming.
Not like he spent huge money a season or two after that statement.
ETH has been here 1 season, this is Klopps 8th season. And they are spending insane amount. Of course they are transforming their midfield, while we're working on it.
Caicedo is faster, better stamina, better at running with the ball. Casemiro is superion in terms of anticipation and tackling I think (as long as he doesn't need to chase).
Why does our build look half hearted exactly? Added 3 players in 3 positions where we lacked and maybe will add 2 more. One good transfer for Liverpool and our build is weak.. Strange.
More than likely yes, I agree. But that doesn't mean those who are saying wait to see are wrong.
It's not a valuation though is it? It's what Liverpool themselves put forward in an actual auction, to get the deal done. That means it's what they valued the asset at, not Brighton. If Chelsea hadn't tried it on, he'd have been sold for less literally months ago.
Where do you see us this season?
Well Liverpool and Arsenal also have major concerns about their midfield functionality and effectiveness , Only team we can confidently say would be there or there about is City Every body else have everything to prove .
While I actually agree with him, he'd probably say something like "This is a massive gamble. For that money, they better hope they're getting a mix of Scholes and Gerrard"
Not much we can do when he is going to cost 110m £. Not with the amount of rebuild we have to do.
3 month old video.
Short term yes, panic? No chance. Without Casemiro there is no chance we finish top 4 last season, it’s all well and good worrying about what others are doing now but at the time Casemiro was the signing to make.
Hopium.
Todd Boehly is probably preparing a £200m bid and 12 year contract as we speak. He's a proven expert on soccer ball.
There are question marks as to whether the Mount, Bruno and Case trio will hack it in the PL and the real world indications haven't been encouraging. If Mount fails or doesn't work out we are fecked, you know that. Hoijlund is still a couple of years away so besides Onana none of our signings is really proven for the level we need to compete at.
Well they probably did not know that Saudis wanted to buy their deadwood then.
Apologies for not seeing the video before replying.
Yes, but some of the points are still valid.
It was definitely a panic buy, after we lost both opening games we overpaid for Antony, and got Casemiro in after chasing FdJ all summer and failing to get him. It was a brilliant buy for last season, no doubt about it, but there are longer term concerns.
Every transfer is a risk and is yet to be seen if it will work out. Wouldn't say we're bringing knives cause our additions are yet to be proven.
too many drama queens just because Liverpool signed Caicedo!!
Well we bought 3 young players in the meantime so it needs updating.
If Caicedo and Mac Allister follows the same path that other Brighton players who moved to bigger clubs (Bissouma, Cuccurella) and the Hungarian player follows the same path like their other signing from Red bull club then Liverpool are fecked too.
It doesn’t necessarily work out like that though. I’d be surprised if either of them are still at those respective clubs in 10 years. Caicedo is still a fairly unknown entity and both are pretty limited on the ball. They may not even be first choice in a couple of seasons or so.
Couldn't say it any better. All the transfers will work magically for all of our rivals and ours will fail disastrously.
Agreed its funny and pathetic in equal measure .
I agree. We have done well with getting younger hungry players this summer, which is why I'm leaning towards Todibo over Pavard.
