We scouted 800 players per position apparently. And saw no one to improve us except those under the radar talents of Maguire, Wan Bissaka and James.
Takumi Minamino / signs for Liverpool. Transfer 1st January
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
We are always playing catch up to liverpool. Championships, recruitment, everything. Sick and tired of it.
All this moaning about us not being in for him. At that price, i'm pretty sure everyone is 'in for him'. Why on earth would he come to us over Liverpool currently? Seriously? Why would he go to anybody over Liverpool currently?
I love it when everyone becomes and expert on a player they’ve possibly watched once or twice.
He looks so great from the highlights I saw. The kind of player Livepool these days pick up.
Liverpool seem quicker and more eager to pick up these sort of players.
Disagree on the second point. Sancho is a special talent. He's the one I'd prefer at United for sure. Even if it's 120 million plus.
Fantastic bit of business.
We're such a well run club. I can imagine opposition fans are jealous

Looks a good talent.
Another potential missed opportunity.

Disappointing, didn't intend to make this thread for a Liverpool signing.
Liverpool potentially signing a professional football player inevitably leads to more United bashing on the caf. Doesn’t matter if there was a caf campaign to sign this particular player or not (there wasn’t), but we are predictably useless (as is every other football club by the same token) because we are chasing different players.
Get a fecking grip man
. 'pool sign some 23 year old from the Austrian league and that spells 'dark dark times' for United for feck's sake?Christ you're a wee smug bastid aren't yer.Fantastic bit of business.

Exactly.Get a fecking grip man
Not denying his talent. But I see the guy and his interviews and immidiately think of Depay somehow. I don't know whether he has the right mentality to really live up to his hype. Dunno. I'd still take him obviously but I doubt he'd join anyway. But that's for another thread.
I'm sure Salzburg are happy about their great relationship giving them only 7 million
Salzburg put the release clauses in the contracts, I don't think they can be too upset about it!
Liverpool fans on Red Cafe really give Liverpool fans a bad name. Although this is nothing on the ones who hang out in match threads here when their own team is actually played, a really odd bunchFantastic bit of business.

Watched him 1 or 2 times, he was amazing. Don't know how consistent he is though.
"The true star of Salzburg" sounds like such a dig considering we're being linked to Haaland
Which is nonsense too. No doubt Haaland is the true star despite Minamino being a good player in his own right.
Melissa Reddy is absolutely insufferable.
I think Minamino will choose a club by doing EenieMeenieMinimo and will come up with Liverpool. Main reason being the existing Salzburg-Liverpool career pathway of Mane and Keita
I am a respectful poster. I only hang out in LFC threads and forums. I dont want to get a reputation of winding up Man Utd fans.Salzburg put the release clauses in the contracts, I don't think they can be too upset about it!

Mane played for the same club before Southampton. He may turn out to be pure class or not, but him playing in Austria doesnt mean muchGet a fecking grip man
He's actually 24 and will be 25 in January. It is getting tedious to see everyone go into meltdown every time our rivals sign a player.Get a fecking grip man
I believe Ed, our de facto sporting director, has no clue who he is. Fantastic business by Liverpool.
Always? You have a short memory
You quickly forget all the poor signings they made pre Klopp.
It’s a sign of success that good players are willing to join them but it doesn’t rule out emerging talents joining us
She was a few times on that BBC 5 live podcast recently. Where is she from? Her way of speaking sounds so weird.
Precisely.
If we weren’t in for him then that’s it. Our priority isn’t Minamino.
I’d much rather Mwepu. Younger, stronger and what we need in midfield
Scouse does s that to you
Always? They're new born babies when it comes to success in this era. Let's wait before they have some sort of sustained success before we consider ourselves always playing catch up. It's only a recent trend after years and years of us sweeping everything while they looked on tearfully.
Have to admit that this player looks very interesting. I said so before as well when I saw few clips. But they're obviously very well stocked now on midfield and attack. And there's no chance anyone would ever want this lad ahead of an elite talent like Sancho, which is what we really need.
She's South African.
I presume you've not been following football for very long.
Yeah but it's not scouse though. It sounds as though she isn't a native English speaker.
And yes, I know this is like the perfect setup for another scouse joke.
Ah, cheers mate.
Explains it. That well known suburb of Liverpool
Perhaps. What about our manager and scouts though? Or do you require the man who signs the cheque to have a scouting report of his own?
Marcel Bout was watching the game on Tuesday. I’m sure they all know his quality after the way he dumped VVD on his arse in the first game.
I’m sure we were looking at Haaland and I’d still prefer him along with Mwepu
A little bit at this moment in time. Just goes to show how quickly things change though, just a few years ago all I heard from Liverpool fans were how badly the club was run and how the famous transfer committee could do nothing right. Cue Klopp, and the rest is history as they say.Fantastic bit of business.

I mean, it's POTENTIALLY a great bit of business. He could equally be shit given he won't start a lot of games. Could end up being used as much as Keita has.
