Didn't expect to see this - a surprise attack 

 

[NarutoReds]

Super Saiyan, Son Goku.

[Agent99]

I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese - oh Minamino.

Fits perfectly to be honest.

[NarutoReds]

I'm not from England but do you all watch this? Or at least in your continent across Europe?

[Redsnappa]

Anyone else remember the Japanese flag that regularly used to be waved on the Kop in the 1970s? Someone should give that a dust down.

Yes! It's on a couple of Youtube match videos as well. Racking my brains as to which ...

[clinical]

£7.25m

Worth nearer £30m I'd say. Amazing deal.

Sure, but Goku is an alien, not Japanese.  Plus Salah already has the super saiyan thing going on.

It does. God only knows what speed the Kop would sing it at though

He deserves this so much. @takumina0116 is an amazing player, very smart & fundamentally sound, has a great personality & is a coach‘s dream. Team player, very coachable. Quality signing. All the best & good luck, congratulations to you & @LFC

RM@ReneMaric
He’s quite complete. Normally best as #10, but can play as forward/striker or winger, too. In our first season @RedBullSalzburg we even used him twice as wingback, in our second season he was an 8 in 4-diamond-2 a few times. Very smart, great scorer, agile & technically good.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Looks like a seriously good player with the ball great awareness of his surroundings and eye for a pass. If this guy was English i think we'd be paying in region of 40m for him in todays market.

I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese - oh Minamino.

Surely it’d be

The kop is turning Japanese

[JP!]

Imagine if he scores against Everton, christ.

Speaks really good English already too which should help him settle in.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Take that, aaahhhh.



What a beauty.

I want to lick his eyeballs.

[Machae]

Has the potential to be bigger than Nakata

[Crosby Nick]

What's that Oh Oh Oh it's Magic song?

Oh Oh Min aminooooo ...you know....blah blah something something yadda yaddaa (someone else make this shit up)

He’s magic, you know
You’ll never get past Sissoko

Oh Oh Min-amino, you know
Just watch him score all those goals
He's magic
You know

Surely it’d be

The kop is turning Japanese

Yes.

My fave song option so far

[Bobinhood]

Mini-Me !  Nice


Once you guys get a song sorted double check it and make sure its for Mane. Thanks

[Romford_Red]

Take that, aaahhhh.



What a beauty.

I've heard of access all areas, but taking a snap while he's pinching one off is a bit too far imo

[No666]

(A)Tak (A)Tak, (A)Tak (A)Tak (A)Tak.

Don't pronounce the (A)'s obviously.

Well, I liked it.

[GeorgiaRed]

Just been watching his highlights clips on youtube and I couldn't help but think we have finally found a replacement for Coutinho. He has obvious pace and close control but also an eye for goal. Time will tell of course but shit... I'm starting to think that, such is his magic, even if Klopp signed me up he could turn me into a top player and i'm over 50, fat, with dodgy knees!

No Steve, I think Kloppo and his staff could turn you into a world star.  The objection would be with the Liverpool medical team. They would look at Klopp and Edwards like this -    and then they would say that they are doctors and physios not magicians. 

[terry_macss_perm]

I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese - oh Minamino.

Problem with Turning Japanese is that it’s a very racist song about someone who thinks they look Japanese when they narrow their eyes and bite their bottom lip while wanking.

So best not go there

The song I mean. Obviously nobody’s going to stop wanking.

So basically he is Salah.

Left or Right I wonder?  Might prove excellent cover for Robbo or TAA.

Takumi Minamino: Liverpool new signing is 'one of a kind' inspired by Ronaldo

By Oliver Trenchard
Japanese football writer

Takumi Minamino is a winner. Or at least he has a desperate desire to win, often stating how he hates losing.

It is a characteristic that will serve the Japan winger well as he joins a Liverpool side unbeaten in 34 Premier League games - their longest such run in the top flight.

All Minamino has ever wanted to do is play football - his unequivocal love for the beautiful game evident since an early age.

As a child, Minamino was substituted while playing for local club Sessel Kumatori, where he played until joining Cerezo Osaka. The youngster, still at elementary school, would ask the manager: "Why did you take me off? Let me play more because I love football."

He was one of a kind. No other player at the club, nor any other Japanese player, would dare question a manager or any authority in such an assertive and confident manner, especially at such a young age.

But Minamino, who will sign for the Reds from Red Bull Salzburg on 1 January, is not just any Japanese player.

I'm surprised Pep G didn't try to sign him

Within the traditional top 6, only Spurs and us would sign players of such profile. For the others low value means that it can’t be good.

How else do you explain £89m Pogba?

[clinical]

Anyone else think that will be it now for forward signings till 2021?

Even if Shaqiri leaves I don't think we'll buy another. We'll just move Harvey Elliot up as back up.

Would leave Salah, Mane, Firmino, Minamino, Origi, Brewster and or Elliot.

People suggesting Sancho and Werner I don't think either will happen.

[LiverBirdKop]

Take that, aaahhhh.


What a beauty.

Takumi, give me dreamy, yes! Yes!
