Welcome Takumi! Surprised we completed and announced the deal so quickly but its fab nonetheless. Can't wait to see him in action though I'm sure it will be a while before he makes a big contribution in line with most signings.

Winner in the derby incoming.

Club have pulled another incredible move. £7m is an incredible bargain

No surprise that the club have just created their own official @LFCJapan Twitter account to celebrate.

Think it's safe to say we're going to be doing our next pre-season tour in Asia.

Looks like this could be a great signing. Hopefully he adapts to the Premier League.
While most of our competitors boast about their 'transfer war chests' we go about filling a gap in our squad with a quality player at a bargain price.
It’s easy to believe when it’s going well.

Such a great piece of business, we didn't need a superstar signing for the front three, just a talented, hard-working player who will be determined to prove himself. And we got him for a brilliant price, hats off to all involved.

Oh Takumi Minamino,  leaves defenders far behind
Cos his feet will dance and if they will dance
Well he will beat you down the line
I say, he will score when he wants to, I think that you will find
And he will play football from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind,
I say he will dance, he will dance, amazing ball control
He will dance, he will dance,  fantastic with the ball
He will dance, he will dance, everybody jizz in your hands
He will dance, he will dance , and so will all the fans


Bravo.

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!

Some nice words about him from Klopp. Although given his effusive praise for Red Bull Salzburg, I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to do a bit more recruiting from there ;D

I haven't watched him outside our games but excited by what ive seen

9 goals and 11 assists in 22 appearances this season.

Double figures in goals in all his full seasons.  Yes it is a farmers league but he has 11 in 39 in Europe

I think this guy going to be fcking brilliant for us.
Yep- remember- we've been watching him since 2013 and he's been on an upward trajectory in terms of development. If you look at his return in goals and assists- this season it has really kicked off and on q- Liverpool step in to help him to the next level.

We've got him at the perfect time- just as he's taking off. I expect him to have stepped up into Mane/Salah levels of return in a year or so.

Welcome aboard.  Everything points to him being a really good signing.

I'm going to be that kill joy though in that I don't see him playing much this season.  If he can provide some respite for our front three during the European weeks though then that alone will be invaluable.

Next season I expect he'll be right amongst it.  I don't think Japan have any international football over the summer so he can get a proper pre-season in.
