Ralf knows his onions!

Is this the most amicable deal in history? Salzburg seem genuinely excited to be selling him to us. It's understandable as it's likely the model they've been aiming to follow from the outset and the interest a lot of their players are receiving vindicates their work over the years, but still it's a bit surprising.

Also is the Salzburg right back highly rated? He seemed stupidly quick and very strong when dealing with Mane in the last game, if a little petulant.

Their fans are similar really, the general sense you got from their comments yesterday was they felt pride that Minamino was going to the European Champions, no bitterness, just understanding he was taking that next step.

And it's how the club operates. They already have Minamino's replacment in their club in Seko Koita, in the same way they had Dabbur's replacment last season already there, in Haaland. 

They are always that step ahead cos that is how they work, knowing they will sell on their best players to better leagues, and they in turn scour the leagues below them for young well scouted talent - often placing a load of them on loan by the way!

His nickname should be The Red Samurai. Would be a boss banner. 

[RobbieRedman]

Can he play center-back?

My son plays in a league with a team cal that. Mainly Japanese kids and they’re absolutely brilliant!

[Yiannis]

Watching the game back and some of our football under pressure was excellent. We are blessed with this team. In terms of how good they are and the character they show game in game out.

[macmanamanaman]

Can he play center-back?

Only if Van Dijk plays alongside.

[Mutton Geoff]

Doesn't anyone care about the commentators they get confused with Firmino and Fabinho without now adding Minamino to the mix.

[cipher]

Once the injured lads are back in January, there are going to be some big names not even making the bench.  For example,

Starting Lineup
Allison
Trent-Matip-VVD-Robertson
AOC-Fabinho-Keita
Mane-Salah-Firmino

Bench
Adrian
Gomez
Minimino
Henderson
Milner
Gini
Origi

Exercise Bike
Shaqiri
Lovren
Lallana

That's assuming no one else come in this January which is the most likely scenario.  If we do sign someone, I suspect it may be for next year.

[SP]

But we have games every 3 hours so we need that depth...

Matip might be back in January, or he might be back in April. It's completely unknown as of now. Fabinho might miss most of January as well. So we need to utilize all of the squad depth we have.

A gift that keeps on giving. Like Everton, but in a totally different way.

That's poetry in motion! Of course it'll be problematic to most commentators!

Still guerrilla marketing for overpriced sugar water though.

[Red Beret]

Except for Tyler:

"Liverpool player to another Liverpool player... oh look a goal, by a Liverpool player *yawn*. Yay."

[farawayred]

As long as the overpricing is confined to the sugar water and doesn't spill into players contracts, I'm OK with that.

[Kennys from heaven]

Your comment may have cowed him right proper...

How dairy he say that...

[Samie]

They say this is a Minamino's heat map from Tuesday against us but this is more like a Predator hunt shot for fuck sakes.

[Passmaster Molby]

They say this is a Minamino's heat map from Tuesday against us but this is more like a Predator hunt shot for fuck sakes.

So basically he is fucking useless in goal but great everywhere else.

[Samie]

 
Basically.

[dimwit]

So he'll be invisible apart from a cold, rainy night at stoke?

Hes in red already, I gather?

[Henderson19]

Takerto Firminamino.

[newterp]

I think he just killed me.

Looks that way but I would think they will be a bit more careful with their release clauses in future

Dave's going to have a torrid time commenting Liverpool matches. He's had endless trouble with Firmino and Fabinho already.
He's going to have a heart attack!

"...Fabino back to Firminho... passes it up to Minamitiho... Sado receives it on the edge of the box and lays on for Firminho... 2-0 Liverpool!"
"I gotta get the fuck outta here!.."

[rocco]

Gini , Mini , Mane , Mo great attacking line up

[Ski]

Haha - what are you doing here? 🤣

I totally see the sense in their attitude here. By sacrificing a bit of strength this season in letting him go, they are pretty much guaranteed the pick of the best of the new generation coming through, as they could say "see, look at Minamino", except before they have the chance to say that, they'll be having the agents of that talent on the phone to them anyway. Their model and success rate is reinforced massively by him coming here.

[J-Mc-]

Gini, Mini, Mane, Mo,
Pass the ball and watch us go,
You’re fucked when we add, Fir-Mi-No,
Gini, Mini, Mane, Mo

Its a sign of how highly we are now regarded in the world. Of late only Barca and Real commanded this respect. In older days, it was Milan and Juventus too. It just shows how far we've come. We dont expect anyone to jump ship because there is nowhere better than Liverpool right now to play football and challenge for trophies.

Minamino tell me the truth, there is no way you can deny it!

What I want to know is where is Tokyo36?
