The dippers are getting Diego Jota as well!

Pep raided his old club Barca for Thiago, so how do you work that one out? lol

Haha...you’ve got me there! I can’t think of any others off the top of my head though. I suppose I could split hairs and say he wasn’t a first team regular but fair dues, I’ll put my hands up there.

He's a very talented player. I think Klopp's been trying to slow Liverpool down over the years and he'll help with that element of control. He's not going to magically transform their midfield but he's better than both Henderson and Wijnaldum by a distance. They can't keep waiting on Keita forever.

I'd be most worried if they signed a CB. Gomez for me is good but he's nowhere near the level that he's made out to be. Plus I think as team's get smarter at attacking them we're going to see if their fullbacks can actually defend high up multiple times a match (hint they can't).

Injuries will catch him up cjn

Got you. That’s the biggest concern about him but if Klopp’s happy, that’ll do me. I suspect that he’ll be drip fed into the PL for acclimatisation purposes though. Even with his movement and awareness, the pace will still be a culture shock.

You haven't got me at all. He won't be featuring many games. The league will be too intense for him. They will have a job moving him on.

To be fair the only person i have seen laud him arguably the greatest midfielder in the world is that muppet off Sky Sports News. Kaveh Sohelkol i think he is called. Nobody likes him anyway.

Thats him CC.What a daft twat he really is.

I think you`ve just "owned him". ;)

Possibly not but there’s a lot of ifs and buts in there. It’s certainly a gamble worth taking.

A gamble that if it doesn't work out means you're stuck with a sick note on high wages for 4 years.

You can level that at any player who’s had a lot of injuries but few come with the pedigree he does. And if he doesn’t work out, it certainly won’t be left until the end of his contract to resolve.
