LFEE Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Perez needs to play in one position for a while and this opens up the 10 spot for him nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 As shit as Wijnaldum was of course he did more for us last season than Sissoko. Point is I believe Sissoko could be motivated by Benitez, I saw nowt from Wijnaldum in the last 10 games to suggest the same. Both are going anyway, and both should go, wastes of space and nobody should want to keep either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 But that means f*** all if he rarely shows it. Neither does Sissoko though.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 At least he showed something under Benitez, more than Wijnaldum who didn't improve one bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Where does he fit in Liverpool's side? I can't see him getting in the team. He's not a high-energy pressing player either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I never saw any of his away performances apart from on TV, so was he just not scoring goals but still playing ok ? or was he just totally shit ?. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 In my mind we are not selling what we had, we are selling what we could have had next season. I am almost certain he will shine in a better team for a better manager (meaning Klopp vs McClaren), being more used to the english game, and prove that his price tag was justified. Realistically we were never going to keep him here after relegation anyway, and in the end it's probably for the best. We get a decent amount which can be saved for improving the squad when we are back in the premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I actually thought that Saturday might have been his first 'away' goal for us.... then realized he scored twice in away Pre-Season matches last season too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 TBH I haven't a clue how good he is, but it was obvious he was going to leave. Risky signing for any PL team with decent ambitions, given how little he's done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz 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. I mean if they plan on playing him in the centre of midfield with the job of keeping the side ticking over he'll be fucking awful, but as part of their front 3 or 4 he's capable of tearing sides apart. He's basically a forward - early on with us he would find space and drift into the box with ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 He'd walk into their team imo. They don't have anyone who is anywhere near the goal threat he is and all their attacking midfielders are just as inconsistent as he is so that can't really be used as an argument against him really.

Shush Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 He's an easy one to sell because his stats look decent for a new season in the Premier League. If we get over £20m that's great news as we can reinvest. The fact is away from home he was shocking and when the going gets tough he hides. He also didn't look like he was comfortable in the CM role, it's either behind the striker or wide forward. Bit of a luxury player given the money. I'm sure many will have only seen our highlights where he was doing good stuff. I imagine the same frustrations we've had will come out at Liverpool.

TRon 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'm not really sure he's cut out for the pressing game like. He's a good finisher and has obvious ability, but Liverpool? Anyway, we will get decent money for him so not particularly fussed.

FustinoSolano Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 We should be gutted he's getting sold, but we're not... that tells it's own story! Obviously an extremely talented footballer with fantastic technique but clearly has huge character flaws that allowed him to sink into the sea of negativity and apathy that set in very early on last season. He should have been a shining light that should have got us out of the mess, in the end he was one of the major reasons we went down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is even when the apathy disappeared and we went on a run after Benitez came in, he was one of the few who still looked lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Rafa we trust to find a suitable replacement. No need for replacement in his position for now imo. Think if we sell Sissoko we need to bring one in. But as far as I'm concerned, Mitro, Gayle, Perez, Shelvey, Ritchie, Aarons, Thauvin and Sissoko (if he doesn't go) must be able to do the job in this league as our offensive players.

TRon Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 £24m and medical this evening? Seems to be doing the rounds. That'd be mindblowing/incredible. Rafa is still sticking to his public line that he wants to keep both Wijnaldum and Sissoko here, and why not? We really can't lose in this situation, either we get huge money (rightly so) for top international players, or we keep them to rape the championship.
