Klopp!
My absolute go to statement when I meet a similar situation in real life. I kneel before thee momo
Agreed, if we add up the total cost of rebuilding Anfield and the training ground, it in excess of 200M.
Some are speculating we are going for both Ekitike and Isak, that would be mad!
and unlikely, i think.
It occurs to me that Newcastle are basically in the same position we were in when Arsenal bid £40m + £1 for Suarez. They might persuade the player to stay for another season but that will be it - he’ll go next year.
And if that’s what happens, if we’re going to go for someone else, I’d rather it was Mateta, a stop-gap but a known quantity, than Ekitike (promise but risk) who just feels like he could be another Nunez in terms of profile. We’d at least know what we were getting with Mateta and I think he would do a more than decent job for us.
Then we sign the guy we really want next summer.

And that Ekitike has a lot of other qualities that actually suit us. He also underperformed this season in terms of xG while Nunez was overperforming the season before he moved to us. Those numbers were unrealistic to match. Big difference.
Ekitike is a brilliant signing if that’s the one.
Ekitike also underperformed at PSG before moving to Frankfurt. He's as big a punt on potential as Sesko would be.
He played 1300 mins for PSG at the age of 20. I don’t think that counts as much now in all honesty.
Quite a similar risk to Sesko but Ekitike probably suits us better with the qualities he has and playing infront of Wirtz.
I think Newcastle will end up regretting this one. Isak is most likely off next summer and they miss out on a target they’ve trying to sign for years (3 times).
It actually is when you’re a young striker imho. That can be coached and will improve.
hopefully
i feel bad for all our lads boarding the titanic that is brentford fc. they did well without toney but they’ll not cope without wissa, mbuemo and whoever else exits
shitty xG = poor finishing? or what’s the consensus on that particular stat?
