The bolded part is where we’re going to disagree. After Sanchez, he’s probably the worst technical outfield player in our squad.
He fits no mould of any sort of modern successful full back, people seem to just be clinging onto the hope that a system change can unlock something - it won’t.
Eh? Coutunho, Tiago, Gotze, Mkitaryan, Reus?
He can always accommodate a player like Szoboszlai.
Is that a bad thing though? Good to have players desperate to get on the pitch rather than just sit around collecting their wages and enjoying the facilities, and with proper rotation as you'd hope we will finally start to see, not such an issue anyway.
Also another HG in the squad to further reduce that issue.
I would've thought the EPL was a tad too early for him. He would probably be better off taking a smaller step to the Bundesliga or Serie A first. The feeling here was starting to be that MidtJylland's asking price of approx. £14m would price some of these clubs out and maybe see him staying. Obviously not a scaring price for a club in the EPL, but maybe a little concerning that these other clubs aren't seeing value at that price
No doubt Isaksen is a star in the Danish league. His form definitely deserved a place in a struggling Danish squad earlier this month but that wasn't to be. Fairly good with both feet but the left being the dominant. A goalscoring RW. Experts here wanted him to become more consistent and perform against the best teams. With good showings this season against Lazio and Feyenoord it seems to be his break through year. His numbers are somehow skewed because MidtJylland have been atrocious. We've got a different League structure, so MidtJylland ending in the bottom half meant they only played the bottom half teams this spring. So Isaksen has been scoring for fun lately, but has to be taken into consideration that it was only against the worst teams
Personally I think it's too big of a step but if he was to work out, he'd come with goals
He sold Coutinho.
The best team he built at Liverpool had none of those players.
Tiago is a 6 really but made them a worse team.
I’m sure there is a plan but they won’t be like the traditional Klopp Liverpool side
This is the kind of Brighton/Brentford signing for 12-15m that we are meant to be expecting from the club.
He’s also young and plays both wings.
I think he would do very well in Saudi-Arabia.
Yeah, his crossing his piss. But he's not technically deficient, he has technically deficiencies (as do Porro, Spence, Udogie.) First touch, short passing, ability to protect the ball are all very good. He's a decent fit for an inverted type fullback and played something similar to it in games last season
Alhamdulillah.
too much of a pro for that unfortunately, and im sure he'll have his eyes on the Euros. another reason why he should push for a move really
likely, chasing coin. It's over for him IMHO
We can argue of semantics all day but he's the best player we have to play there from an overall standpoint.
Tell that to Everton...
It might be too big a step to expect him to play in the first team immediately, but there's nothing to stop us buying him and loaning him out to the Bundesliga or Serie A.
In my view, it's crazy to identify a real talent, but then wait until he makes a name for himself before trying for him, you just increase the chances that a bigger club, or one prepared to pay stupid money to him, will snap him up.
If he doesn't work out, you move him on. It's highly unlikely that you'll take much of a financial hit.
But if he works out? Well then you have a gifted player who adds to the first team, and all for relative peanuts.
I'll always have time for a guy with a top mentality, a grafter, a team player.
You can teach passing, crossing, shooting etc. But you can't teach being a good pro & person, having a great work ethic.
Trust character over skills. Substance over style. Don't be PSG.
I'd never seen him play before this morning.. just skimmed through the game they lost 4-0 to Sporting. He looks decent, his first few steps are extremely quick and long, good speed, good trickery and carrying, had a few really nice touches and looked MidtJylland's most dangerous player by a distance, set up
a good chance that the striker fluffed. Looks a bit light, would be a massive jump in league, weight on his reverse passes to onrushing fullback were inconsistent. I wouldn't mind us making transfers like this tbh, once the scouting is thorough and the coaching set-up is open to developing players. But this guy does strike me as the type that should go to Sassuolo or someplace like that. PL is very physical.
