What a fantastic player. He has a real story behind him and deserves immense success. I hope that the LFC conditioning coaches take extra care of this gem. How many times have we seen a player with speed like him get an injury in the EPL and lose that yard of pace? 
Here's to who I hope will be a Liverpool Legend.

Fantastic signing. Our attacking options are unbelievable with the new addition. Not sure if I've seen a stronger group of attacking options at the club in my life time.

Hopefully he can adjust to the prem without too many hiccups, but he has so many excellent qualities I can't really see this going too badly. Worst case scenario we get a decent return on investment in the transfer market due to the lad's age.

I love this signing for so many reasons. One of them is that he looks amazing. The other is that it suggests the Klopp Project might be of longer duration than we currently think.

I’m getting that with the Carvalho one too. They’re tailor made for him.

Just think... this is the club that brought us Fowler, Owen, Torres, Sturridge and Suarez - to name just a handful of notable players - in the PL era.

What we have now, is like having all of those players at their peak up front at the same time.

Jeez Roy. It's all becoming too exciting. The weird thing about the Diaz signing is that we, as Liverpool fans, know that Jota has just 'come of age' in the last few weeks too.

All I want now for Christmas is Thiago to pull his boots on again.

A good addition to the squad as will be a great option off the bench hopefully a game changer. Dont have a clue where he fits in the starting 11 but we probably said the same about Jota

I will reserve getting too excited till I see him play for us a few times, you never really know how they will settle. Hopefully he’ll be a hit like so many others have been in the last years.

I’ve not seen any mention of his injury record so I assume it’s not an issue?

He can carry the ball at speed with great close control. So can Curtis Jones. So can Salah and Mane, even Jota and Ox when he's on it. Elliott too. The pattern is clear.

What a great option to have for rotation. Even if he's not starting games, I'd bet tired defenders who have had to track Mane the whole game wouldn't like him coming on and running at them.

You can see the foundations being laid for the next evolution of the team and it looks exciting.

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
aarf, aarf, aarf.
