The Bigfooty Liverpool Army

RossFC does Elliot play across the front three more or in midfield in the seconds team?

Right wing. He played as a striker once or twice though before we signed Joe Hardy.

Great. I reckon we're stacked for forwards. The front three are always good for 2500-3000 minutes each and we've got two senior backups in Origi and Minamino. Failing that the wunderkind Elliot will probably get minutes, the club seem pretty bullish about him. The midfield bats very deep with Thiago. Full backs are covered. If we can come up with another guy to play centre half who isn't Fabinho then we're set.

His debut's probably Lincoln in the league cup, the poor bastards

‘if he’s ever fit, we also still have Shaq up forward too.

Feels like a big signing. Really fascinated to see how this changes the team, just a very different kind of player to what we've had but one Klopp has always had his eyes on. I know this frees up Fab but still prefer Fab as the deepest midfielder. Will be interesting to see what Klopp does.

We should have known about this hours ago!!!

 

[QuietB]

For the record. I dont think we sign anyone else before the window closes and if we do by some miracle sign one more player, it wont be Thiago anyways. Let's see if I'm right.

Reports Thiago is done

Absolutely interesting. As i've suggested before, a 4-2-3-1?

Apparently the deal is structured over 4 years with 5 mil paid to Bayern per year, plus bonus clauses, that's great for us

 

[one eyedtiger]

Great signing! Good to see that Klopp still has a big word in who we sign (as it should be imo) Let's see now if Gini is moved on, you would think so being in the final year of his deal and Barcelona lurking.

How does one measure whether a player is integral to success?

Compare the Champions League finals of Karius and Allison

 

[Gigantic]

That's some sensational business done. You've outdone yourself once again, Mr Edwards.

Mane/Ox Firmino/Origi Salah/Takumi

Thiago/Wijnaldum Fabinho/Jones Henderson/Naby

Robbo/Kostas Virgil/Matip Gomez/Milner Trent/Neco

Alisson/Adrian



Amazing what a difference one additional top player makes to the squad

Had to put Milner at centre back since we obviously don't have a real 4th choice CB. All in all that looks pretty damn solid, ready for another big season

If we Comolli we would've sold brewster for 5 million and bought thiago for 70

Deepest squad we've ever had least for me

How good is Edwards!! Crying poor and getting Bayern, to give us that concession.

 

[gaskin]

Seems like it is all done bar the medical.

Thiago arriving at Kirby Road

 

[jod23]

When was the last time we signed a genuinely world class player in their peak?

We have come a long way from before Jurg took over, back then not even Sigurdsson wanted to come

Huge signing.

Probably the first time the club has ever bought as established world class player. Crazy times.

 

[brutus76]

20 was a good price even with the add ons. 40 or 30 was ridiculous.

Welcome #6 Thiago.

 

[Korn]

This is great news.
We might have a new Fab 4.

 

[kane249]

Potential to be a very good signing for us.

One of the biggest moans from the supporters was the Fabinho - Henderson - Gini midfield three lacked creativity for big games, Thiago addresses this big time.
