WHERE'S THE UNLIKE BUTTON?!?
Oh I absolutely don’t ‘know’ it’s cracking business. And it would be hilarious if Liverpool imploded/turned to garbage. But from my own limited knowledge I’ve formed the opinion that they won’t implode and I reckon they’ll waltz the league. Just my opinion though dude.
If the deal happens then there must be a plan for them to play together. I've no idea how they'll do that but I just don't see us spending £70m+ on a backup option. The brief from the club when Ekitike was announced was that he's seen as a versatile forward, not just a centre forward and maybe he's going to be just that - cover/competition for the 9 but also playing alongside him in a 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 and sometimes even on the left. At the bare minimum Ekitike will have to be playing 2/3's of games though.
I think this is far from a done deal yet too. It's not going to be as straight forward as agreeing a price with Newcastle but also subject to Newcastle being able to have 2 or 3 players lined up too and we probably need to shift 2 or 3 also. None of those things are guaranteed to happen, let alone all 3.
That’s my second biggest worry. He’s pretty much 3/4 of a player now, that would make him half a one. My biggest concern is we rush to find replacements and end up in some kind of mega horror deal that sees Diaz, Nunez, or Nicolas Jackson sign although I think they’d all personally see themselves going to bigger clubs than Newcastle.
Like I said some weeks ago, let’s cash in while we have time to get some decent players through the door rather then let it drag on until the season starts leaving Howes already weak squad further weakened. Feels more and more like a rudderless ship there.
We'll have to wait and see, if we dont play Ekitike on the left then I really dont see any point in buying him and Isak together. Makes little sense to me to spend 70m on Ekitike to then a few weeks later be just a sub for Isak, 70m is a big whack of money for a sub, I cant see either Isak or Ekitike coming and wanting to effectively be the 2nd choice no.9, I would think they would both want to be first 11 players. I guess Slot has a plan, we'll get a reasonable indication of what the plan is when Diaz is sold, if nobody is bought to replace Diaz then Slot must then be planning to have someone in the team to be Diaz "replacement", time will tell of course but I wouldnt be too surprised if Ekitike is played on the left
Even as a Liverpool fan, I'm still taking very much a wait and see approach, its a lot of players incoming and a lot of first team positions that will be new to the team and each other (LB, RB, CB, Left Wing, Centre Forward, Attacking Midfielder would all be new players, thats potentially half the team) , as superb as it looks on paper those players will take time to gel together, if I was a rival team I'd be wanting to play Liverpool as early in the season as possible before those players have gotten the chance to become fully cohesive
Oh no doubt getting Liverpool in the first month or so will be preferable but I just don’t see anyone but Liverpool winning the league again. And comfortably at that. Much as it pains me to say it
I feel that it will end up being a closer title race than people might think. I think it will be the 26/27 season before we see just what this team can really doOh no doubt getting Liverpool in the first month or so will be preferable but I just don’t see anyone but Liverpool winning the league again. And comfortably at that. Much as it pains me to say it
Well either way, unless that’s 2126/27 you’re talking about we won’t be barking at your heels
whole thing seems to be based on social media comments that farm clicks and user engagement for income..
isaks recovering from a thigh injury, how unbelievable when he played half of last season nursing an injury.. oh and he was also spotted training with lewis hall instead of the team, how weird hall was also recovering from an injury.. lucky he went with the team or liverpool would be buying hall aswell.
ofcourse it makes no sense, the only option is he wants out....
going to make liverpool fans look ridiculous if he doesnt leave... or goes elsewhere..
He never watched the prem growing up... and newcastle rather sell him to another league anyway..
If enough liverpool fans will it through social media it's sure to happen rgiht...

Surely if he doesnt want out, all he has to do is publicly say "I dont want to leave Newcastle, I am staying here". 30 seconds...job done...no more basing it on social media comments that farm clicks and user engagement for income.

Its Arsenals year lads. Surely.
Tell me you’ve only been following football for two seconds, without telling me you’ve only been following football for two seconds…
You’ve conveniently missed out the part where he’s told the club he wants to explore other options.
