Looks like he speaks excellent English from his first interview, in case anyone was wondering!

Can someone ask him if it's pronounced 'Nyke' or 'Nyk-ee'?

Been seeing these metrics pop up quite a bit on the site but genuinely have no idea what they mean?

What does 97 carry and dribble mean?
88 tackling ability?

Not a single one of those numbers make sense to me

Quick, brave, aggressive in the challenge really good crosser of the ball and really direct. Above all although he seems to have a really good mentality

He is the Greek god of pace. He is also fast and rapid.

Love seeing a signing go through this quickly, quietly and smoothly, he looks so chuffed to be here too!

Btw, just been doing the obligatory Instagram stalking and he has some mad leg tattoos so will fit in well with some of our lads! Plus he has some mad love for his dogs...we have finally replaced Albie Moreno!

bornandbRED · « **Reply #92 on:** August 10, 2020, 08:14:18 pm »

Will keep Robertson on his toes. Interesting signing because he looks a player and is very much at the age where he’ll want to be in the first team.

The numbers are percentiles. They rank players against their contemporaries.

Think passing on the prem-experienced Lewis over a few million will cost us in the long run. That's me guess anyway.

Not a chance,we have the best L.Back in the league & only way to get Prem experience is to be given it,this isn't some penny pinching exercise.

Yeah quite good for someone who hasn't played in an English-speaking country (probably spoke it in Denmark and Netherlands)

Great deal.
Biggest gaping hole in our squad filled.
Can’t wait to see him play.

Welcome Kosta.

IanZG · « **Reply #100 on:** August 10, 2020, 08:27:21 pm »

Very much a low risk high reward signing, if he doesn't pan out no big deal, we have one of the best playing in his position and we're not at a big financial loss, if he does well it's another transfer masterstroke. Love that Klopp has singled out his mentality when introducing him, I can imagine that's a big factor if a player can succeed here.

Kekule · « **Reply #101 on:** August 10, 2020, 08:32:03 pm »

Welcome aboard.

If you’re alright by Klopp, Ljinders, Edwards et al then you’re alright by me. Go well, fella.

Needs to work on retaining his balls. Hopefully Klopp can help him with that.

dudek05 · « **Reply #106 on:** August 10, 2020, 08:51:59 pm »

Good signing left back is difficult to cover and often have to compromise with right footed players coming in with opposing teams trying to target them. This won't be an issue now great cover for Robbo. Welcome to the champions.

You've changed your tune from this post on te 6th August;

"He looks like a Robertson clone from the highlight videos. Searing pace, dangerous crosses, aggressive. "

Sorry man

In all seriousness, he looks a real player and a level above Lewis both in terms of performance metrics and physical attributes.

Now hopefully we roll out the ol' smokescreen again and nab Daka while everything thinks we're in for Sarr

Sounds like he's a bit of a character from what I've been hearing. Bit of a mad bastard. I like that. Think he'll fit in very well with the lads.

It used to say “mad bastard” on the job spec for a Liverpool Left Back.

How do you pronounce Tsimikas? Silent T?

I'd have to double check with my partner but I'm pretty sure that 'ts' is pronounced like 'ch' so it would sound like 'Chimikas' (Greek doesn't have the letter C).

And they called him "Chimi" there.
