Have we heck as like,you're the first person I've seen who doesn't think that we got him on the cheap.

Fucking Brexiteer twats.

[hide5seek]

Welcome, please bring a couple of midfield mates as we need them.

£37m is a world cup premium for a 23 year old full Dutch international that has been lighting up his league for the past two seasons? 

[David in Edinburgh]

Is he any good? I mean really good not just a WC flash in the pan (not like we've not been bitten by that before).

Sorry   we forgot to check the reviews before we clicked buy.
Not to worry, should be fine.

What's Fowler got to do with this deal?

[Samie]

Work permit is here. He's officially a red.

Finally, no longer an illegal. Now an expat.

[Larse]

probably been discussed, but now that the dust has settled and he will likely get his first appearence pretty soon:

Where do you think will he play - when everybody is fit? against wolves?

[naYoRHa2b]

Good luck lad. Need him to make an impact straight away especially as he's the only natural option we have at left wing till Diaz returns.

More then that I hope his enthusiasm which he will have being a new player will rub off on a few of ours.

[didi shamone]

He'll be like a new signing.

Left Wing until Diaz and Jota return.

When we have them all back he can play across the front line and if we go to 4-2-3-1 fir any games he can also play in the #10 role as he did for the Dutch at the World Cup.

Do we have any news on how tight the registration was, and whether Cody Gakpo is now eligible to train with us? Is he likely to be available to make the squad on Saturday?

Yes, his paperwork is complete and he must already be training.

[Son of Spion]

Is he injured yet?

[FlashingBlade]

Waiting for Gakpo

What are you saying? He'll get injured and we'll never see him play for us?

Have you seen much of him? I hardly watched the WC so have seen almost nothing of him. I was just curious if someone on here had seen a fair amount of him and could give an opinion.

[Bobinhood]

I haven't seen much but i do know he was on a lot of wish lists well before the wc, stunning speed and everything you need. Mooted as one of the very best younger players.  Mane 2.0 maybe lets wait and see. no pressure. Dew it. Dew it.

He can play across the front line but he's not a typical Winger, he drifts inside too.  At the World Cup he played as #10 as well.

like a midfielder?? Right?

From what I’ve seen of him he’s nothing like Mane. Not as explosive, doesn’t have the same work rate or as good at beating his man. That sounds bad but he does seem to have good movement and finishing with either foot is really good. Hopefully he can make the jump.

Decent pace movement and finishing should make it possible in any league so I have high hopes.

Klopp on Gakpo: "Cody doesn't want to jump on the train, he wants to push the train. I like him a lot."

now we know where all the injuries are coming from.

Tank you for Engineering a pun - diesel be spamming the thread now, until everyone runs out of steam.

[newterp]

Also known as locomotion injuries.

[Son of Spion]

Yet another thread derailed. 

[Samio]

Klopp specifically referencing the fact he's a good finisher in training.... Let's hope that translates to the pitch!

[Ghost Town]

Yet another thread derailed. 

Sorry, but if people will keep giving us a platform for puns...
