Scouting talk

To put on that drum you keep beating. 

Oh so last Jan Klopp got what he needed?

Probably not,  but we can't do nothing about it.
I understand the frustration fella but it is what it is.

You're right

Jarrod Bowen seems to divide opinion but ticks a lot of boxes for me

Yep. Not a bad player at all but the kind of player id say we should be aiming higher than

Reckon he is the exact sort of player that Klopp would love

What's peoples thoughts on Arthur Melo from Juve? Possibly available on loan.

Disappointed at Barcelona , disappointed at Juve - doesn’t stand out in any area of the game. Don’t see what he would add to the team

His price tag will continue to rise . Hard working boy got a bit about him and always seems to be involved in their goals .

I do agree, and the benefit of knowing hes done it in the prem league

Dude. I watch him a lot and I love his game. Very creative with the ball and working off it. Not great infront of goal, to be fair. But room to improve. Work rate and link up play for days. He screams Klopp

He does indeed and Id not be upset if we signed him. Just a part of me feels we now need to sign world class players to go straight in and improve us, to me, he would be a pricey cover act

Agree.

Reminds me a bit of what I thought of Jota when I thought he'd be a great signing. Could see him potentially growing to a similar level

That's basically where I'm at as well. He's a very good player, and a balanced squad need those 'non-star' workhouse players (think Kuyt or Milly). But he would cost a lot for someone that would be bought as cover. He's the kind of player we should buy for 20m at most.
Ollie Watkins is another one that's in a similar position...

Was a bit unsure about him myself like, looked really good this season though. My biggest concern with him and fitting in with us would be his lack of pace, seems to be running through mud where as our wider players in attack have some pace about them. Habbit of being in the right place at the right time and a good set piece delivery on him. Think I'd still prefer Raphinha.

If they said £25m Id think fair enough that would be a decent signing, but we know it would be closer to £40-£50m and I'm not sure he'd be as clinical as you'd want you justify that kind of outlay. You can only have so many of a certain type of player in the squad, the rest have to be absolute mustard.

Not sure about lack of pace to be honest think it's OK.  Not sure on Raphina whether he has the workrate seems a bit of a highlights player albeit playing in a poorer team at present

Dybala leaving Juve for free in the summer.  We should be all over that.  Replace Div and Taki with Paolo and we are set up front.  Oh, and sign Mo to an extension 😎

His wages will stop us for sure

I've always heard chatter that Dybala is a bit of a problem attitude wise. Don't know if it's true or not. Have an Italian fried that supports Juve and he's not too high on Paolo.

Jarrod Bowen is on the up isn't he?

Jürgen is a big fan of his too. And Harvey Barnes from Leicester.

Thanks but no thanks. Always injured, looks to be absolutely not cut out for the PL as in not much of a runner, not very physical, can't play 90 minutes without bursting a lung out and that's in a team that doesn't come close to our relentless style on the press and the back and forth it involves.

I'll gladly pass. He'll either sign an extension with Juve, go to Barcelona to give the physios more job than they already have with Dembele, go to PSG or Newcastle will manage to convince him for an insane amount of money but then again, if I'm him I'd stay away from the Prem.

Switch to Newcastle would make sense...the uniform adjustment would be minimal.

Would be nice to report a signing this window
