Topic: Young Divock... Likes the taste of Scouse tongue.

[Chakan]

That's possibly a hotel/restaurant in NY with Central Park in the background. Not sure, but a reasonable guess.

More likely Boston I would think.

[JustDan]

No leaning on the official

I think I see the problem... wires were crossed. We thought they wanted a leaning clause which we were more than happy to oblige.
Damn you Ayre!

[soxfan]

More likely Boston I would think.

True, I was assuming he met with club officials where they currently are in NY, but he could have simply met the FSG crew in Boston instead.

[ac]

Looked impressive in the world cup and his you tube clips are something else - exciting!

[riismeister]

No leaning on the official

Maybe because he's being leaned out?

[Kopenhagen]

Good signing. Welcome, Divock!

[۩ Imperator ۩]

Divock Origi, she's my baby,
Divock Origi, don't mean maybe,
Divock Origi, she's my baby doll, my baby doll my baby dooooollllll.

[royhendo]

Welcome! Looks some prospect!

[Pheeny]

Loaned out to Lille for a year (as we know).

Speaks excellent English for a Belgian too.

Good luck to him

I think you'll find that many Belgians speak excellent English.

[TepidT2O]

I think you'll find that many Belgians speak excellent English.

I have to say, I went to Belgium a few weeks ago, and most of the Belgians spoke English as well as me.....

Which is just as well really, as my Flemish is non existent...

[Hazell]

I think you'll find that many Belgians speak excellent English.

I like it when they say 'yeah but ok'.

Best teenage striker in the world atm?

[turkish kopite]

sorry missed the details how much will we pay for him? and what a about his contract? he signed for 3-4 or 5 years?

[Gifted Right Foot]

Welcome.  Looks like i'll be watching a bit of ligue 1 next season. 

[Anywhichwayicant]

He talks like Steven Seagal .

[Torben Piechniks Y-Fronts]

I wonder was there ant chat of him coming this season after the Remy thing?? Hey-ho, see you next year

[The Infamous_LFC]

Welcome Origi

[Henry Kissinger]

Think you'll find that's Sefton Park in the background not Central Park. Easy to confuse the two.

They might as well just write out the questions on a sheet of paper and hand them to the incoming players. No enthusiasm from the interviewer ever -- he/she sounds like an accountant preparing taxes every time. And we can guess 90% of the questions that are asked every single time. No originality, no humor, no questions that are even slightly interesting... zzzzzzzzzzz

Origi, on the other hand, sounds like a confident, intelligent young man. Welcome! 

[farawayred]

Mr. Divock "Of coarse" Origi, welcome to the club! Of coarse...

[soxfan]

More likely Boston I would think.

Turns out he was interviewed in NY. If you look at the Gerrard interview and the Sturridge/Ibe interview, they're in the same room. Check out the photos on the walls.

[Fitzy.]

Best teenage striker in the world atm?

Would be nice but I think we'd have him next season if he was. However, I'm not in a position to name the best teenage striker right now...

[Farman]

The player he most reminds me of (from the little I've seen of him) is a raw, young fake Ronaldo.

I'm surprised at the comments from Brendan. Normally you try to keep expectations down for kids (along the lines of 'He's a talented young player, and if he keeps learning he has every chance of becoming an important player for us in the future'). But he's really not held back in his praise there; he obviously thinks the world of him.

Yeah its exciting when you here Rodgers talking him up so much, we could have another special player on our hands.
 Lille are involved in a CL qualification game in 7 hours time against Swiss team Grasshoppers, will be interesting to see how he goes and if he starts after such an emotional week for him

['Mondzz']

Looking forward to seeing him next season now, looks a talent. Will be keeping an eye on Lille this season aswell.

[BigAl24]

Brilliant signing

[Coutinholycow]

Really bummed to have to wait a year. Looks like a really great player. Rare for Rodgers to use those kind of adjectives for a young guy.

I agree that its surprising to see, but every player is different in how much praise (or grounding) they need, and praise like that could be exactly what Origi needs to kick on at Lille. The player seems to know he has to work hard regardless of what praise is thrown his way, and I'm certain Brendan will remind him of that from time to time as well.

[perspectiveplease]

Real good prospect. Slightly disappointed he's not coming immediately as I think there'd be plenty of opportunities, but one for the future.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Best teenage striker in the world atm?

Mitrovic looks to be a bit special and he is 19. Plays for Anderlecht

Zivkovic of Ajax is very talented as well

Don't tell me ... let me guess ... Rodgers said something about how Divock fights for his life?

[Funky_Gibbons]

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he would have liked Divock Origi available for the new season, but accepts that the transfer depended on the striker being loaned back to Lille.

Interesting.

Makes sense to be honest. Probably also indicates that the player must have been highly thought of by other teams.

Also shows Rodgers wants another attacker.

Personally I'm glad he's spending another season at Lille as that will probably suit his development better.
