Just seen that,how the hell is a player of unproven quality with no prem experience being sold for 23.5m??

His full name is Rhian Brewster Who.

He doesn't need to be redundant. He can play in midfield as well as LB.

Sign the player and let Zin decide if to hang on or take an offer elsewhere (even loan) now or in winter window.

He is redundant though as they absolutely do not rate him as a midfielder. Plus look at the options ahead of him - Gundo, Kev, Foden, and Bernardo.

Personally I would sit him in the stands and shrug my shoulders, but as we know well Pep hates nothing more than "sad faces".

Football has always been a good place to launder a few bob. Who are LFC's sponsors again?

You're kind of right.

We didn't have one glaring error, we had 2. We bought Rodri to fix the first one and then we made a balls of the defensive line by putting Dinho in there.

As a result, we ended up with 3 issues. Suddenly we were terrible at centre back and our left looked a lot weaker.

So, let's assume Ake and Dias coming in fixes the first issue, that doesnt neccessarily mean we fixed our first error.

Rodri has to deliver massively and the signs so far say he isn't up to it without a second DM in there.

His comments post Leicester should terrify us, basically moaning that we didn't try kill that game by constantly passing in the back once 1-0 up. That's against the entire ethos of Pep ball and you wonder why he'd openly say that. He hasn't fit yet, so for me we still have a glaring issue there.

Let's not forget also that our left back issue generally isnt one if Fernandinho is in there. Zinchenko and Delph have played great in there. You take Dinho out, Rodri doesn't give them anywhere close to the support.

So yes, Dias if he fits in goes a long way to helping, but it would be foolish to think we don't still have issues.

I don't buy into the theory that Rodri is shit, as far as I'm concerned there's only about 5 teams (1 is Wolves) in the league where he might be a problem and we have loads of other options there.

What Rodri said is what Pep thinks, and said himself in more diplomatic language.

TBF he did well for Swansea for the latter half of last season, 10 goals in 20 games plus he's homegrown and had 3 years left on his contract.

How do teams never learn from buying their crap players like the famous Jordan ibe, solanke etc. Only ings has turned out decent for southampton

He's pulled this shit before.

Last time he "pulled this shit" he spent 6 months in the starting LB role and played a big role in winning a bunch of trophies.
