yup, we just need to organise into two camps. one who is certain he’s shite and one that thinks he’s the goat. anyone who doesn’t conform is a spineless flake.

There is a part of me that is happy that we're getting Ekitike over Isak. It just feels wrong / weird for Liverpool to be spending 150M+ for a so called "star" player. It's more Liverpool to get a younger player that we can develop here and call our own. That said, if Isak was a true star a la original Ronaldo then I wouldn't give a fuck.
Anyways, horrible Crouch flashbacks aside (due to his frame), there looks to be a lot of upsides to Ekitike's game. If he develops as expected, he can be a real asset. Whilst Salah is in the side, we don't need him to hit 25-30 goals a season though it'd be nice if he did develop into a great goalscorer.
I also wonder whether the current dearth in decent striker options will change with a new generation emerging over the next season or so and we're all just prematurely fighting over the current scraps.

We do need new arguments to replace the Lucas and Rafa themed debates.
Oh you're completely right, but that's not really the parts of Darwins game that I thinks the most costly, it's the fact he's absolutely brainless in sustained build up (fine in transition) to the point where players actively avoid passing to him unless he's running in behind, where he'll almost certainly be offside, it feels like we're a man short at times.
I think Ekitike will be a massive improvement on this aspect, I still think we're massively overpaying though, but meh, not my money.
yes and i had also been enjoying the chiesa wife banter, that was refreshing. so thankyou for that
has anyone seen salma hayeks dance in from dusk til dawn, that’s what i imagine slot does when he gets these players alone
£69m plus £10 add-ons isn’t that bad - wasn’t Darwin £65m plus £20m add ons?
That’s also around what Gyokeres is likely to cost and not a lot more that Shitty paid for the (expensive) pound shop Salah.
It’s a lot, but in today’s striker market it might be a decent deal.
It’s also something that sets our expectations on Darwin - we want a similar price (additionally Diaz, if sold, should directly finance Rodrygo and I’d hope we’re pushing the £35m for Quansah as the cost for Guehi).

Absolutely not 🤣🤣🤣🎣🎣🎣🎣
I did like that Slot is the football manager equivalent of a top shelf womaniser.
This seems excessive, if true. That's approx €300k / £260k a week

No chance.
Yeah smells like bullshit tbh. Wirtz is on £195k a week (with bonuses up to £245k) - and he was one of the most coveted players in Europe. No chance we'd put Ekitike on something close to that. Also saw that Ekitike at Frankfurt was on €67k/ £58k a week. We're not going to quadruple that
I'd imagine it'd be in the £120-150k range - at par with the likes of Szobo, Macca, Gravenberch, Gakpo
