He he thanks. I remember some scrote shooting him, but honestly couldn't remmeber what he looked like.

Bit harsh on our Luis, and all :)

Think this could put to bed the doubt that FSG are stingy. How many players need they purchase over 40m for fans to stop expecting the world.

Outstanding deal here, and proves the armchair business and Football Managers haven't a clue whether FSG are in it to win.

Excited to see how he gets on, and the push this could prove to be for Mane to reach new hights.

Worth posting here - listen to this podcast - he could be immense this fella.

Really interesting that.  I didn't realise just how similar he was to them.  A really exciting signing.  Hope he settles in quickly.

He should be able to affect the game if he comes on, even he doesn't yet know the patterns of play/system, because he can carry the ball at that pace, and teams probably can't set up to defend him one on one.

This is gonna be fun.

Yeah even though he won't have the pressing/defending-from-front down yet, he's guaranteed to cause havock and aggravate hemorrhoids when he steps onto the pitch.

Trent, Robbo, Bobby and Tsimikas have a shiny new toy to play with! ;D

Our last two "Luis" were rather good, hope this one lives up to the name and the winning like the former and not the biting like the latter. ;D
I’ve plenty links to the clubs playing and backroom staff as many on here know thank you very much. Fair enough, I admire your optimism. But you’re absolute ostriches if you think this squad, even with 2 or 3 new, “cut price” players with potential get us anywhere close

I think we'll look to use him as a bit of an impact player for the remainder of the season while he learns the systems and the language. Hopefully the odd start here and there when Salah or Mane need resting. His ability to take on players one vs one will give a lot of defences something to think about. Can't wait to see him action for us.

Making bold assumptions about the first team

Our second team might look like this


Kelleher
Williams  Konate Gomez Tsmikas
Thiago Jones Milner
Diaz Firmino Chamberlain


That's not too shabby once you factor in that we also have Origi, Minimino, Gordon, Elliot, Morton etc. on top of that.


I'd put that team out with a view to beating or matching anyone, including City

When Thiago is fit, he is first xi. Still seems to be under rated ny many. ;)

Yes. 100%. Henderson never plays in that left sided controlling position when Thiago is injured, there’s no way he moves there once Thiago gets fit.

Think he played there early on to accommodate Elliot

You’re quite right. He was a 6 in one game, one game he didn’t start and another, against Chelsea, he was left sided. Then against Leeds he was on the bench. Elliott, Fab, Thiago started. Which, whisper it, but I think might be our first choice CM in so far as Klopp has one.

I don't like seeing players hound the ref- especially ours, but just now and then you know... when we're really being "shafted" and the supporters can't believe it. We need someone... sometimes.

Let's see how this plays out. We're building a multi-league/multi-CL winning group of tough bastids here. They've all got that "streak" that's in Jurgen. Some control it like Virg, but when it's needed- he brings it out.

Yep! We have quite a few of the lads on the books. The football and skillsets are closely related to how we play. Quick, fast, rapid with skill, "spunk" and a monster press!

For me FSG are doing a good job. They are competing against two owners (and more) who don’t or didn’t comply with the financial rules which is very tough.

We have a great manager and we have a squad of players who all appear to be behind the manager. We brought in players like Alisson, VVD, Mane, Salah, Jota etc. these are players are are up there with the very best in the league and in Europe.

We have left Spurs, Arsenal and United in our wake and are better than Chelsea and now chasing City.

I’m not sure what else FSG could have done.
