omnom must love you. Every time he says a silly you come in and make him look like Einstein.
Here is a hint for you, Martial has played for more than one club.
Doesn't matter which player it is or where they normally play for other clubs, LVG mainly plays Gakpo behind a front two or on the right of a two.
So like I said, he can play anywhere across the front and in behind.
Maybe Klopp sticks him out on the left, who knows, but judging by his Holland games I doubt he will only play him there.
so 45% as a lw for you, so the majority of his game time somewhere else... he is as much of a left winger at man u as milner is a rb for us

Didn't see it either.
I mean we need a midfielder but an attacker was also required.
I still hope we get Enzo or Bellingham but don't see it happening in January for them

So right back is Milner's second most played position then is it? And he's played almost half his games there? If so then yeah sure. But I don't think that is true and you just can't admit you are wrong.
Ding ding ding
Primarily obviously means less than 50% in Shami's world

Go look at my original post and point out where I said primarily. If you can do that then you can have a cookie. I said we have 5 left sided forwards. I didn't say world class, I didn't say primarily (given Martial is obviously playing up front and other have moved around as needed).
I need to stop being baited by Liverpool fans. You've literally moaned about this for 2 pages

Yes you were the one who used the word primarily in reference to Milner. You obviously thought Martial was primarily a lw for you, it's okay though we understand you were wrong, we are also used to your word salad in trying to dig yourself out of holes.
Its all good, we've got an exciting young player for 37 million, we're happy

I'd be happy with Gakpo now, Amrabat at some point as well in the Jan window and Bellingham in the summer.
I think Amrabat can be snapped up for around 35m, so Gakpo and Amrabat for circa 70m would be great business imo.
Amrabat would bolster the numbers but I don't see him improving us or really giving our midfield what it needs.
He really impressed me in the World Cup, was one of the best defensive midfielders in the tournament imo, would be a great alternative to Fabinho
He had a good world cup I agree however if we need cover for Fabinho we have it already.
We need a more creative aspect and abit more of a goal threat from midfield. He doesn't provide that
For me the plus with Amrabat is that he is sub 30 years old. Although we have cover for Fabinho, much of our defensive midfielders are too old or not good enough
the Anfield Wrap are really pushing Enzo Fernandez to be tied up in the January window, take that with as much salt as you want.
I'm not sure how surprised we should be with the Gakpo news. I'm fairly sure a few months back somebody from PSV gave a massive hint that he was Liverpool bound but nobody really run with the story.
On paper it ticks all the boxes for us. With Diaz and Jota's injuries we have a very real short term need for another forward (more so than a midfielder imo) and we were always going to be signing somebody in the next 6 months with Bobby likely to leave in the summer anyway. Gakpo solves both those problems. He gives us the extra cover we need across the front line now and also, along with Jota, he'll plug the Bobby gap in the squad long term too.

Apparently Benfica are holding out for Enzo's full release clause at €120m which Liverpool certainly won't pay and I doubt anyone short of City or PSG could. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still at Benfica at the end of the transfer window. Benfica don't really need the money as they sell players every season for £30m+. The heat for Bellingham to Liverpool has cooled considerably too, although that may have just been Journos looking for clicks and impressions during the post WC, pre PL resumption.
Gakpo is a strong signing, but I'm still unsure how happy Diaz, Jota, Bobby and Gakpo are going to be after being rotated or not playing every game. I can see Gakpo and Salah running riot and I hope he develops a great understanding with Robertson, as Mané had.

We absolutely need reinforcements in defensive midfield. The club knows it that's why they went for Tchouameni last season (and obviously couldn't get him). Our midfield has lost the insane ball-winning ability it had a couple of years ago which our style of football absolutely needs, and with Fabinho almost 30 and Henderson on the wrong side of 30 it's not getting any better without reinforcements.
Agree we also need creative players too, but defensive cover is more urgent.
As much as I want that to happen I just can't see us paying the release clause.
I agree. Talk is Benfica want the release clause in full, €120m which we will never pay. Short of PSG and City I can’t see anyone paying it either. Benfica sell players every season, they don’t need the money.
