Yes you'd imagine anyone who comes in would need a bit of time, which maybe adds to that uneasy sense that we might be making a pig's ear of the wijnaldum situation. He played every league game! We should have had his replacement sorted months ago. Also not having the idea that thiago is his replacement, they do completely different jobs and when we asked thiago to do that job he was crap. Think a midfield of Henderson, Thiago and Fabinho feels a bit off too, although I'm not entirely sure why

Watching neuhaus on YouTube makes me realise how much I'd rather have someone who's already played in this league replacing wijnaldum. It's such a mad job we're asking our midfielders to do, neuhaus looks fine but it's almost unrecognisable football compared to what happens in the middle of the pitch in the premiership

So Raphinha is basically the same profile as Mané when he arrived, sure we thought we were paying over the odds for him too

This is true, when we had Southampton as our 'feeder club', we were happy to pay the premium to have a season looking at how they get on in this league

How is this 100%? He walks into that united side, got Salah playing in his favoured position here

Funny to think how much of a factor that can be for a lot of signings. Tsimikas is never going to play actual football so you'd hope we had a pretty detailed scouting report on his banter.

Just watched my first YouTube comp of him. He's a big lad isn't he, hopefully joins our fine tradition of big arsed world beaters

Really liked the look of him when they knocked out city the other year

It's not really, but only because England are idiots. Forever caught up in the narrative and whichever flavour of the month ahead of actually being, like, good.

He always has to be cute with it. Just put your f***ing laces through it, bobby

They add a minute for a goal

Think it might be dark green from what I've read. To be precise, 'Atomic Teal' Sorry about me.

This talk of getting in two new CBs doesn't make sense unless we're getting rid of one. I am very much on board with firing Matip and his useless legs out of a cannon into europe somewhere.

Can we still do the Kabak song after we've f***ed him off?

https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/transferts/mercato-konate-a-liverpool-ca-se-precise_AV-202103300185.html Says he's already passed 'some medical tests' with us

Haha he would do well to steer clear of football Twitter

I think that might be exactly who we sign

Funny how City are doing the same trick they did with Nathan Ake, making lots of noise about Ings and then once he's signed they'll go and get Haaland. "Oh btw, Danny, you're back-up. See you for the carabao cup."

I was going to say maybe he'll grow into his features in time, but the thought of him growing more is also quite terrifying

Jonny playing for wolves means I'm going to have this in my head for the duration

I'm most excited about this for the fact that it's the last time we play for a while. Can't wait for the reds to f*** off for a few weeks.

Would be really lovely if fabinho back in midfield meant we see the proper version of thiago tonight

I think the club might need to be mindful of how this situation is viewed by the rest of the squad/ impact on general mood. Gini's obviously held in very high regard and has been on a (relatively) miserly contract for years, it wouldn't be ideal for him to leave this summer with the rest of the squad feeling like he's been f***ed over.

No massive issue, mané just always struck me as the most driven

I think it's hard to gauge anything now since it's so evident what a s*** time they're all having. Prior to our nosedive mané would have been the one I would keep at all costs. He's *normally* a warrior, the kind of character I would rather have around over the other two
