Mikky Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Who are we going to replace him with? In the Rafa song, I mean. Vernon Anita, Shelvey and Pereeeez On second thoughts nah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begbie Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Liverpools 3rd kit. If he goes to Liverpool I hope he turns to shit.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Interesting signing for Liverpool. Klopp has been really good at getting the best out of players, so it may work out nicely for them. He'll certainly need to do a lot more in general play to fit into that team. Will be interesting to see what position they ultimately use him in. Already looking forward to seeing who we replace him with. Hopefully we can get in someone with pace and directness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Think he'll do really well there, tbh. Much better suited to a side that will have more of the ball. I don't think he's suited to a team that keeps the ball more at all. Firstly and quite importantly he never looks for the ball so he would essentially be a waste of space in that system most of the time. He's much better suited to counter attacking football which is what Klopp really wants to play anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 20mil is peanuts in this market Still more than he's worth. Most of the time last season I'd have been happier for him to be anywhere else but our starting 11. Exactly even getting our money back would be great.

Gallowgate Toon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Think he'll do really well there, tbh. Much better suited to a side that will have more of the ball. He was brought in to try and help us become more of a possession side and was generally shot at it. Can't see him having much of an impact there at all tbh. Pretty sure Dutch jouralists suggested he was more of a final third player than an all-action midfielder who was going to dominate the midfield for us and control our play. The exact line was 'never seen a player have so much impact with so few touches', IIRC. With other players capable of seeing more of the ball, it allows him to do what he's best at - find space in and around the box and exploit it. He's also a very handy player on the counter; a big part of Klopp's gameplan. Think we'll see him get close to 15 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I be he will end up on the bench and not even get double figures Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fine in both, just simply not someone that can be the fulcrum of that type of team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 A fraud player being bought by a fraud team. Typical Liverpool signing this is, buying without scouting them properly. Any profit on him would be a great sale. He was absent for so much of last season that he was a waste of time, Rafa dropped him early doors so he clearly thought the same whereas he was openly positive about Sissoko. There are so many better options theb this guy that I feel the sale is a positive for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Think he will be class there if he goes there. Well well, hopefully we are getting decent money for him at least.. Difficult part is to find a good enough replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 He was invisible majority of the season. I don't think it will be that hard to replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Rarely have I worried less about replacing a first teamer. If he hadn't been in the side for those last 10 games I think we'd probably have stayed up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Don't think we necessarily need to replace him with a first team player anyway, we have a lot of forward options already who are all more than good enough for this league. Would be more than happy with spending the bulk of his fee on a defensive recruit and bringing in someone young for the future who could play as back-up (similar to when we bought Lascelles, Darlow etc.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 He was invisible majority of the season. I don't think it will be that hard to replace him. Yeah but i just think he would have thrived under Rafa this season. I don't really care that much about him leaving as i never Got really attachés to him for various reasons.

r0cafella Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 People forgetting he played in a team which has been relegated and would happily take half of what they paid for mane. Why do some have such a desire to flog our best players as cheap as possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Just glad it is going to get done now really. His departure was inevitable - much rather it be mid July giving Rafa time to spend the cash and have his replacement(s) get a good chunk of pre-season with the squad than lose him on deadline day in August.
