  1. From the YouTube highlights I’d choose Darwin, he looks more suited to the direction in which the squad’s evolving. He looks like a pure goal scorer to me, the other guy not so much but I haven’t watched that much of either.

  2. Mane is way more valuable than Thiago. He scores goals and actually runs and actually defends and does not get injured. Not to mention isn't he like African Player of the Year. No way i'd sell Mane for the for a thiago price. As a prolific scorer he's way more valuable.

  3. Nothing's happening until Mané leaves, and it will probably be too late by then.

    Man U, Chelsea, Spurs and Newcastle are gonna spend way more than what we can unfortunately. They'll end up buying every high profile player right after the international break.

  4. For multiple reasons, Nunez really reminds me of a certain lazar markovic; didn't turn out well that one. Part of me wishes we could source a prem ready player right now. Especially when we're in such a critical transition with big impact players starting to leave.

  5. I'm not sure Liverpool will sign another attacker, in fact, I wonder whether the signing of Diaz was preempting one of the original front three moving on. Even without mane, there's Jota, firminio, Salah, Diaz and now the lad from Fulham. We're more likely to invest in that midfield

  6. You call yourself experts, right? so why do you not in one word mention 2 major knee injuries that Nunez had already?

    I am happy our scouting department does their homework better than you guys. FFS

    Shambles!

  7. We’ve got decision to make because I’ll be honest if we get nunez I think he’d get more goals than nkunku even if their goal scoring is about the same tho if we get nkunku he’ll make us more of a threat and our build up play reckon he could get 15 goals in prem I think I’d say nkunku slightly he’s football ability is better and is more likely to be a success as I reckon he can slot in perfectly

  8. Why is no one talking about mane making less money that Ox bobby thaigo naby and hendo…i wouldn't want to pay the mane either at this point…mane go get your check im just happy hes not going to man utd

  9. LFC will have some serious out of the blue signings as they have known and planned for this for years! I wonder who it will be??? We take upcoming 90% players of good character, the will to win and the intelligence and headroom to grow and make them 110%+ ? #YNWA

  10. swap deal mane for lewa would be best case.. lewa guarantees goals.. if you look at it, if mane had stayed he wouldn't last more than 2 years in his prime. If we can get 2 years from lewa.. that would be massive. plus nkunku as competition for Diaz

  11. One thing for sure we will be playing
    4-3-3. Id sell Mane, Origi, Ox & Naby. I’d utilize Curtis, Elliot & Carvalho as the new generation of creative midfielders. Replace Mane & Origi with Lewandowski. When combined both those players wages u can meet Lewandowski’s demands.

  12. We already have Firmino and Jota, who have the qualities of a Midfielder/Striker, bring in Nkunku, and you have THREE, of such ilk of players, Without a Burly, Physical and Deadly Finisher in the box, especially when ORIGI has departed, doesn't give us any Option, when in extremely difficult games, needing the bail out of an Out and Out Striker.

    Nkunku at this moment will be a Luxury Purchase, Nunéz on the other hand; will be a PRAGMATIC buy.
