Liverpool related transfer speculation

Sorry old pal but that's not how I remember it, two admittedly memorable goals aside. I was never confident in his defending, which was what he was mainly there for.
That's fair. Like I said, he was only ok, but we've had far worse than him in that role (which is more a shot at them than a feather for his cap).
 
Him being shit (and both goals being the humiliating 4th if memory serves) are what made the goals great.

I can't even remember if the goals themselves were any good

A few thoughts a) He is massive. Are we sure he is 18? b) Looks like he played for Sampdoria as well going by the kits. c) Saw another clip just now where we physically bullied Lakaku. d) Pace seems to be quite decent with long strides.
He looks like a real prospect to me…sign him for the the long term, get Guéhi in as looks likely…and we’re suddenly looking very strong defensively, with Gomez providing occasional extra cover.

If the club gets both Guehi and Leoni, Joe gets sold!
 
Not sure about that. We'd be well stocked at CB but JoeGo's versatility would still be valuable, esp.with the number of games we'll have to play.

He could be Maldini, Pele, Gerrard, Messi, Carlos and Chec rolled into one but what use is that versatility when your bones are made of Weetabix and your muscles are made of jelly?
 
1 CB we've signed in the last 7 years, how fucking tapped in the head do you have to be.

& what's worse is we still can't get the towering lanky French fucker to sign a new deal. Talk about neglecting the most important position on the pitch.

I know detail isn’t your thing l, but that’s both factually incorrect and doesn’t include the nuance of CB’s at the club during that period and youngsters coming through.

If you said “good CB’s” that would have been more accurate.

But I do agree - we need to sign at least one CB.
 
If we sign Guehi & Leoni, I’ll give you my standard bet that Gomez plays more League & games for Liverpool this season than Leoni.
In the unlikely event we get both, for financial reasons and too many head count Joe gets sold. Even if have CBs, Joe plays the least amount of games due to his inability to stay fit. When you're made of Weetabix and Jelly, its miracle you're alive

In some sort of fever dream he gets sold - anyone wanting to buy him injured is going to low ball the fuck out of an offer - almost Italian style loan with option.

That, in reality, despite him being made of wetabix means he’s probably more valuable as a squad player.

He’s not funding any purchases.

Also - despite being U21, I think Leoni would have to take one of the senior overseas slots to play in the CL - he’d be fine domestically as an U21 - but not for Europe - which means, we probably need Guehi AND Gomez for Europe.

Leoni wont take one of the NHG spots. Thats the good thing with buying him now.

Enough use to have persuaded LFC to keep him on the payroll thus far, and I'd take the club's judgment ahead of anyone's on here.

As I said, I doubt we get both Guehi and leoni, and if we do, we lose 1. I don't think we keep 5 CBs. It might even be we lose Konate

In domestic comp that’s correct, but for CL it’s different.

The A List is pretty much the same as the squad of 25 for Premier League, except for distinction between Association trained and club trained - can only have max 4 association trained - Gomez, Bradley & CJ are all club trained and Frimpong, the new 3rd keeper and Guehi if we signed him would be association trained.

The B Lustbis for Players under the age of 21, but they need to have been available to play for the club for an interrupted period of 2 years - so, Leoni won’t qualify for the “B List.”

Neither will Rio for that matter - so both would have to be included in the A List to play in the champions league.
