Fuck me what a crazy fee for him. Big gamble but let’s see how he adapts to the pressure of playing for Liverpool. He can hardly score less in our team can he?

I'll get behind him if he signs, but as of this moment I still need convincing.
meh darwin could do that 🤣
But not intentionally
He's doing his usual spinning. It's £78m including realistic add ons. Probably appearance related.
Not just the misses - the propensity to find himself offside, the moments he went a bit crazy, the average control, the poor footballing intelligence - overall he just wasn’t very good, not shit, but also not good enough.
He is a baller for sure. Can he transfer these skills to the PL?

this is it here, his finishing is all over the place and his general game is shite for the level he’s supposed to be at. no consistency in anything, he’s stuck looking like a raw talent when he really should’ve started to come good.
Anelka. Konate.
Konate…
I get the ambivalence to this signing. I really do. But we're living in a world where there isn't a wealth of strikers, and fees are inflated accordingly.
According to https://share.google/WkifUEizObfisn6rY , van persies transfer from arsenal to united would have cost 75m nowadays, yet here we are with Isak reportedly for 150m. The markets so dire that all fees are inflated, and it's going to be that way for a few years.
Ekitike absolutely had the potential to be top class for us; but I think the spreadsheet squad have been sensible. Probably buying Ekitike earlier than they'd like, but they know his fee will go higher (as that's the market) so trying to save money earlier.
So then it becomes a "well who do we buy for a reasonable fee, who should fit our system?"

Just hum the melody to Get Your Freak On by Missy Elliott and repeat Ekitike in place of the chorus.
Then imagine him dressed like a giant pink flamingo 🦩
It's perfect. Song sorted.

Someone recently mentioned Freddie Kanoute too…though I still see a young Henry in there…
That's the first vid I've ever watched of him and I think I just watched Henry on Ice playing against a load of shite. I think if I contort my head into a slightly off kilter dimension I can see what the spreadsheets lads see. It's a crazy plan but it might just work.
The only player that he reminded me of was Henry, and even if he only reminds me of him now and again that makes him ten times better than the donkey, so I'm all in now.

Yeah, I worried about this too.
Whilst I still think we'll see it in certain games. We at least have the option of a traditional CF now.
I think if the kop can somehow intone that exact awful version of that song then we get his highlights. More likely drunk kop nails that than he's reminiscent of Henry.

Oh wait you said successfull - Ibou Konate

Yep, French when he joined, left as a Malian.
The only people that seem to think this isn't a great signing for us... are us. Other fan groups are absolutely shitting themselves about what we could turn into this coming season.
I know this has been done a million times, but I wonder what people would have said of some of our legends, had there been the internet back then..? I have no doubt they would have moaned about Digger and Aldo and other talented but unproven at the toppest of levels players.
Personally, I know nothing about any of the strikers we've been debating, but I honestly thing that if we can improve even 20% on Darwin, with the talent we already had AND what we've added, we might be a fucking juggernaut this year. We create A LOT of chances.
