So Rosco, would you say no to him?
How many times do you think I've seen him play ?
I've looked at youtube and i'd say its a big part of what makes him succesful
It unsettles defenses big time - so it's a big weapon, but he's a pretty decent finisher ... the question is will he adjust his game or not. If Klopp thinks he can, it's a good deal imo. If he doesn't, stay away.
I wonder if he goes to Real if they sell Ronaldo.

Tbf, rarely does a striker just lose a bit of pace, they often go from fast as fuck to bang average within a short period of time.Even if he loses a bit of pace after entering his early 30s, he'll be faster than most defenders/attackers regardless.
He also seems to score a lot of headed goals and poacher style goals from being in the right place at the right time.
If he's interested and Klopp wants him, then go for it. But the key thing for me is what it will mean for our other areas were we need strengthening. Does this signing mean that we wont be able to afford quality additions in midfield and defense, I'd probably look elsewhere for a striker.
I'm allergic to bringing 29 year old strikers to the Premier League.
He'd have to be part of a series of signings meant to catapult us to league success

He has just turned 28. I agree, he definitely is coming into his prime, he's there and we'll only have him for a couple of seasons at this level if we're lucky. But that might be two amazing seasons. So yes, if we get him I'm reading it as 'operation champions'.
So scoring nearly a goal a game for two seasons isn't his prime ?
Are you really making that point ?
Can't say [emoji6]What makes you so sure Tom?
You're such a gossip whore.PM? I'm very discreet. Totally.
The what of discretion?
Ah, sole.
I meant 'he isn't' coming into his prime. He's there. So I'm not making that point (as the rest of my post kinda indicated).
I said in the post.How long do you think he'll continue scoring at that rate ?
So you did.
Two is a reasonable enough guess.
So we'll pay 100m in total for what we expect will be two great years and two alright ones.
He'd have to be the final piece in the jigsaw for me to do that deal.
I still think we're a bit short of that though.
Well that's what I'm talking about. We invest in him, Salah, a top CM and CB and we properly go for the league. It's the kind of move our competitors would make.
He was 28 yesterday wasn't he?
Long as we get the deal done soon. He's 30 next weekYes, and apparently turned 29 today.
