You forgot Bergwijn, just sayin'...

This guy is elite, you clearly haven't extensively scouted him like myself and most others (8mins youtube), wise up to us footi anoraks.

He looks like as near to Ginola type exciting as I can envisage us ever signing again. All else pales (was instantly 100% more this guy than Vlahovic)

Are you suggesting that my years of Tottenham might have left me a tad cynical ?

David Maddock (@MaddockMirror) Tweeted: Liverpool closing in on spectacular transfer window coup for Luis Diaz.

Understood deal v.close with fee of £37.5m with £12.5m in add ons.

Reds beat Manchester United and Spurs to signing of Porto winger - seen as perfect fit for Liverpool front line.

Theres the rub, you only get such players by paying the £ up front and not fucking around haggling over a few pounds or massively overpaying like your oil clubs.

 

[Notabadsquad]

Record say Diaz to Liverpool is done.

Why would any player of quality choose us over Liverpool?

If true I would 100% understand.

 

[Dixiefish61]

I’m leaving the country tomorrow for ten days and thank fuck I am. This is depressing along with all of the other “misses”. I know we have to wait and see but so much of our “dealings” smacks of penny pinching shithousery it is hard to make a case in defence of those supposedly looking after transfers.

The difference between a big club and a small club.

If Conte hasn't walked by the summer I'll genuinely be shocked.

Maybe so but I still hope something bad happens and Liverpool fold.

Dirty scouse rat vermin cunts

 

[cretinousgoat]

Thought you quit a few minutes ago?

Allow me to be angry

REALLY angry.

I'm in a fucking foul mood today.

Cunt Levy waste of life wanker.

All things considered he wont choose us over liverpool. And levy wont offer extra wages to try get him to think twice

 

[Dixiefish61]

The saving grace is that Rangnick is being offered a long term contract as ManU manager, Conte is unlikely to find another decent club in PL in the near future - all the jobs seem secure

I honestly don’t think he’ll care if he is genuinely pissed off. Plus if he is a free agent jobs will “suddenly” become available

 

[Gnutmi]

How do you know this? Simply we did all the bidding,the price was agreed then Liverpool matched it that left a straight choice for the player!

One team offers 5quid+ 55mil in addons. The other team offers 45mil up front. Witch one would you chose? I doubt Liverpool are offering him crazy money as salary. We waited to long. Other teams wrap up they business almost the moment there are links. We drag on for weeks and weeks.

 

[existenzrippchen]

So the new line of excuse of failing to do business is that the board was furious about storiew getting leaked to the press? Thats the reason we didnt get Diaz?

They are very creative for coming up with all these bullshit arguments, got to give them that. Image rights, "stories leaking"... whats next? Sending bids via Email but to the wrong adress?

 

[Dixiefish61]

Not as sick as you will when after that Levy appoints Arteta...

Have a great weekend

Fucker
:contefacepalm:

So Liverpool were hot on Diaz, he was their #1 target for the summer, and so when we got serious with Porto they pushed ahead their plans and dove in with a 60M bid six months ahead of schedule to ensure they secured their guy. And it's easy to see, he's so obviously the kind of player who matches the attributes of their front three.

This of course on the heels of selling Coutinho and buying Van Dijk the instant January 1st hit, and then seeing they were a goalkeeper short of greatness and paying whatever it took for Alisson.

This is not City or Chelsea spunking silly money ad infinitum. This is just decisive organization with total trust in its scouting and coaching setups and a commitment to making the most competitive team they can with the resources they can bring to bear.

It hardly even needs pointing out how polar opposite this is to Levy's entire concept of what the club or his job is. Night and day. Forget about the money, the very idea of a player who is that perfect, must-have fit doesn't even compute with the manner in which we do business.

it would be even more embarrassing for ENIC and the apologists if Liverpool were owned by an investment company like us and not a state financed ownership like they claim is the factor holding ENIC back.

 

[docomospur]

No, you moron, we haven’t.

And we never will. So stop being an idiot and get out of this thread

Ealesy with the ITK. Salute, sir

 

[HenryHotspurII]

Looks a great player but doesn't address the glaring weaknesses in our squad...would much rather we stuck to the task of paying more for a quality CM, rather than spunk the transfer budget on this lad

 

[Pzabbythethird]

This is just Levy’s latest version of Moutinho, Bruno and Dybala. Wait until there are just a few days left, make an low offer for a good player that you know won’t be accepted just to make it look like you are doing something. Then when nothing happens he can say “we tried but it wasn’t possible”. Rinse and repeat.

I will eat my own head if Levy spends the money it would take to sign this player. He will never do it. It would be like Elton John becoming heterosexual.

I hate to admit I've fallen for this trick many times, not realizing it was a trick. Up to and including Dybala.

That one just seemed too implausible to be true, so it finally clicked for me. Why would image rights sink an 80 million euro purchase? Just silly talk.

 

[Pzabbythethird]

Our scouting network focuses on players with complex contracts so Levy can say we tried but they didn't play ball.

That and the Ndombeles of the world.

 

[Airfixx]

What would be really good is if someone could comment on how it's all a trick for the 5th post in a row.

Gifs do ya?

 

[Kiwi]

Nabil Bentaleb you're Porto right? Is this the man we need? Will it happen? Will he crack EPL ? cheers

 

[Kiwi]
