He will be average at best. As good as N'gog or something like that.
Arf!
I've just had a nose at him on Football Manager and he's fucking garbage. I trust the FM researchers much more than our scouts.
Also, that other Texeira character isn't even on the game, which doesn't really bode well.

He's 20, he's hardly going to replicate Alves' goalscoring record at that age.
I reckon instead of signing this lad now if we think he's good, we should wait until he scores loads of goals and passes the peak of his career and then we can call him "proven" and then buy him for 5 times the price.

no we wont buy him then.... We will assume he doesnt want to play for lowly liverpool who are not in the champions leafue and buy an inferior player for the price we should have paid for a top player.....

Liverpool open talks over FC Groningen striker David Texeira
Liverpool have opened talks with FC Groningen over exciting striker David Texeira, as manager Kenny Dalglish steps up his transfer activity in the closing stages of the window.

Tex-book target: David Texeira fits the bill for Liverpool (Picture: Getty Images)
Dalglish had previously made buying a striker his top priority for January, with Luis Suarez missing for eight matches through suspension, and Andy Carroll and Dirk Kuyt struggling to find their feet this term.
The Reds boss has had a whole host of established options under consideration, but after being quoted fees in excess of £20 million for Aston Villa's Darren Bent and Valencia's Roberto Soldado, Dalglish has changed tact, and is now in search of a younger forward who would represent better value for money in the longer term.

Twente prospect Luuk de Jong is Liverpool's preferred target, but Dalglish is thought to be unsure about his suitability to life in England, and has instead moved for another promising Eredivisie prospect, Groningen's David Texeira.
The Uruguayan isn't 21 until next month, but Groningen have a good pedigree for finding quality strikers, having previously had the aforementioned Suarez and PSV forward Tim Matavz on their books, and Liverpool are keen to wrap up a deal now before other interested parties make their moves.
Texeira is valued at around £8 million by Liverpool, but former club Defensor Sporting are believed to have a sell on clause option in his contract, which entitles them to 20% of any fee received.
That means that Texeira could cost closer to £10 million, but the Reds' Director of Football Damien Comolli is hoping to knock them down considerably, during talks this week.
Liverpool are expected to try and sweeten the deal by offering Groningen a pre-season friendly, which would see former hero Suarez return to the Euroborg stadium in a potentially money-spinning game.

I hardly think the success of one of his predecessor's flops is grounds for Kenny's resignation ...

If we were to get a striker to cover the loss of Suarez during the ban then surely it should have been as soon as the window opened.

Would be the logical thing to think

That's true, but I should hope we wouldn't be spending millions on a striker for 8 games, I would hope we would be buying the long term striker that we need.
I think the priority is a replacement for Carroll, not Suarez.

Agreed fee of €11.5m but any move will be postponed to summer transfer window apparently due to differences in both clubs' take regarding clauses.
