KaKa Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 OMG ... looks like he is a number 10! Be still my beating heart! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Just watched some clips and he's big and athletic. Makes some nice driving runs in that position and shoots from range. Looks like the kind of player Rafa likes to have playing in that position e.g. Gerrard and Diame. Would love us to sort that position out and maybe then get a striker on loan like Slimani, Sturridge or Sandro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Doesn’t really matter anyway, we’re not going to sign a Brazilian international striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Well he's 24 and seems a bit of a late bloomer still being in Brazil, and so we might have a chance. The clause is also very reasonable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 A Brazilian with 3 days of the transfer window left? Aye right, Charnley would need a week on Skyscanner to shave £50 off flights he doesn't need to conclude the deal. Next Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Wish I hadn't looked up this guy. By all accounts he is a massive talent (the link below calls him the next Ronaldinho ffs) and very highly thought of in Brazil, with Liverpool and Barca the clubs apparently registering an interest. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-gremio-brazilian-luan-klopp-10411399 https://www.dreamteamfc.com/c/news-gossip/354923/luan-gremio-release-clause-south-america/ Even ignoring our ineptitude in the market, this deal looks pretty farfetched in all honesty.

KaKa Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Sounds more like they've been trying to get him a move to a big club, but those clubs don't seem to rate him as highly as the typical talents they go for. The guy is 24 and still in Brazil, and with a clause that low?! Think we have a chance tbh. Watford managed to get Richarlison over the summer, who has been brilliant. And he is only 20 years old and only cost them £11m. Where was the competition for him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'd be shocked and delighted if we signed Luan. Was instrumental in Gremios Copa Libertadores title and has been excellent whenever I've seen him play. Would be a real coup if we actually did this.

KaKa Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Tell you what gives me a bit more hope too. Rafa has previous with Gremio. Bought Lucas Leiva direct from them in 2007.
