Dr. Gonzo 8,198 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Can’t be hard to be better than Moreno. Odds of him displacing Robertson are pretty fucking low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're spending that much, I think Klopp's got bigger plans for him than just backup left back. Depth for the front 3 as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll hope this story is bollocks or that there's more than meets the eye with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew 6 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Not sure if Liverpool or Barcelona it's the right place to go as he's young. Spending your precious time on bench... isn't the best thing I would do for my carrer. Better stay where you are at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously clubs now scout players beyond belief, then a manager and his coaches need the confidence and belief that they can develop a player into what they want. I think Klopp and his staff have done a pretty good job so far in this field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say "trial and error" due to the many many examples of very good players failing in so many transfers in recent years mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but bias aside, Klopp and Edwards do have a pretty impeccable record when it comes to transfers and coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending your precious time on bench... isn't the best thing I would do for my carrer. Better stay where you are at the moment. I agree. At either of these clubs, he’s going to be #2 in the pecking order at LB. And apparently this kid is a very attacking left back who’s also played on the wing, so the rumoured plan for him (by our fans mind you, so this could be absolute bollocks) is he’d be cover at LB/LW. And even, in his preferred position or outside of his preferred position... he’s pretty clearly going to be second choice (third possibly, considering we’re most likely going in for another attacker above anyone else - and I don’t see it being this kid). Although if he joins us, regardless if he believes he can win a starting spot over Robertson or Mane (lol, but can’t see some kid taking over from 2 of our best players; but I guess you want to sign a player that has belief in his abilities rather than someone unconfident) - he should still expect not to get much time on the pitch in his first season. Klopp bloods players in slowly and only really starts them when he’s comfortable they work well in our system, which is pretty demanding of our players. But if I were in his shoes, I’d look at both club’s starting lineup and think to myself “I should probably stay or go somewhere I play more - if I keep improving then I’ll get my chance for a big move in a year or so.” That way I’ll at least get to play regular first team football for a year or so, which is the most important thing for a young footballer honing his talents.
