      Anyone watching Napoli vs Lazio? Just F***ing offer 100m for Jorginho ffs!!!!

      We were linked with him before Napoli signed him. Diawara is another on their books that has a bright future too isn't he?

      As far a I know, Keita was informed by the club that Liverpool wouldn't pay anything extra to secure hie early release, and he accepted it. Sure what's 4 more months to a young lad like him? Not worth kicking up a fuss.

      Pretty sure Liverpool did offer to pay more - not sure how much more - so "wouldn't pay anything extra" is not accurate.

      Depends where you read it mate. I heard They were looking to much and we wouldn't pay it.

      Didn't know we was linked to him, and tbh, I doubt we will get him. He will either stay with Napoli or go to Barca, Real, City or Chelsea imo.

      As for Diawara, I don't really watch Napoli when Jorginho isn't playing, but the little I have seen of him when he comes on, he does look good (probably would be an improvement over the players we have in the deepest midfield role), but you can also see a drop in level with Napoli being weaker in possession play.

      It's always hard to judge how players will adjust with the move from Serie A to the Prem and vice versa.  For example, Lucas couldn't get a game at CM for us last year, but is a regular at Lazio and is having a really good season -- he's even got a goal and a few assists to boot!! 

      Whoscored.com gives Lucas an average rating of 7.17 for the season.  Jorginho is at 7.13

      I'm not saying Jorginho isn't a good player, but history hasn't been kind to a lot of players who have made the move from Italy to England.  Obviously, Mo Salah shits all over this theory....

      Lucas has been great for Lazio this season hasn't he? It's mainly because he is staying fit and getting a long run of games in his main position. I always thought he played very well when called upon and was very underrated for us, especially in the #6 role. Diego pulled up stats to show we were defensively stronger with Lucas in the team oppose to when Hendo started there, but I understood why Klopp went for Hendo or Can as they were more reliable in terms of fitness.

      Anyway, I think Jorginho will fall into the Coutinho and Salah bracket, his style of play would be perfect for us, especially with the midfielders we currently have which will compliment him. He is truly world class and for me, better than Alonso was when he was the same age.

      Iā€™ve always considered it a strength of character that my ego is almost exclusively self sufficient........

      Some folk say ā€œself praise is no praise Alā€ when I pat myself on the back for virtually any achievement regardless of scale / complexity / obstacles.

      I always say ā€œno, itā€™s just a bit more.......ā€

      I seen him play a handful of times this season, he got a good engine and cover a lot of ground but never been impressed with his ability on the ball. Only young so there is room for improvement but looks a raw player right now.

      Looks like we really want Alisson. I guess that would be the end for Mignolet as I see Karius rotating with Alisson next season.

      I like the fact that karius has the number 1 shirt now and the pressure of potentially a new keeper coming in during the summer.
      Great test to see if we can move forward and see if Lorius can be our first pick going forward for the coming years.

      Good to see us linked with a top quality keeper. We need a world class goalie and despite a few solid performances Lorus Karius is not the answer. We need a player to match the quality of our rivals. De Gea, Ederson, Courtouis, Lloris, Karius. Spot the odd one out.

      Ideally Mignolet goes in summer, we get a new no.1, and Karius, who has improved, will be the backup.

      I am really hoping that all this briefing about us not being interested in Allison is just for the benefit of Karius, so that he doesn't get disheartened. As much as I've been impressed with Karius these last few games we need better or at least some good competition for him if we are to go to the next level.

      I like how depending on who you listen to we are either stepping up  our pursuit of Allison or abandoning it completely. These journos are clueless. :D
