Him and Gakpo are the two players I wouldn't mind being sold in the summer if it means the transfer budget increases for the new manager. Diaz has played a major role for us this season but there are better players.
The dickhead father can keep doing what he's doing.

We probably need to sell someone to Barca to make sure they pay us the remaining Coutinho money as part of the deal. It's a never-ending cycle.
He's got a song now, so hopefully that will spur him on.

He's a poor finisher, and a poor passer. He's also fairly isolated at times, especially this season when robbo didn't play much.
We all know his numbers aren’t great or rather his numbers don’t tally up to the output of his all round play. We have the privilege of watching every game so we have a rough idea in our minds what he should be closer to because he is a better player than his stats suggest.Has Diaz performed well whilst at Liverpool? 9 big chances in 3 seasons, its not great
He has had some inexplicable luck go against him this season like in the Spurs game/hitting the post after a great solo run, very fine margins have stopped him creeping into double figures for goals but even if both those instances went his way, we'd still be sat here feeling underwhelmed by him and those sentiments are justified as he's an incredibly frustrating player.
When you isolate and stack his goals and assists this season to other wingers in the Prem/Europe (let's say top 7-8 sides)..….I'd say he's about average. You could argue most our players besides Ali and Virg fall in the same bracket.
In Prem:
Son - 17 goals, 9 assists
Gordon - 11 goals, 10 assists
Diaby - 6 goals, 8 asissts
Diaz - 8 goals, 5 assists
Martinelli - 6 goals, 4 assists
Doku - 3 goals, 7 assists
Rashford - 7 goals, 2 assists
Mudryk - 5 goals, 2 assists
In Europe:
Vini Jr - 15 goals, 5 assists
Leao - 8 goals, 9 assists
Savio- 8 goals, 9 assists
Kvaratskhelia - 10 goals, 6 assists
Fuhrich - 8 goals, 7 assists
Nico Williams - 4 goals, 10 assists
Diaz - 8 goals, 5 assists
Golovin - 6 goals, 6 assists
Orsolini - 10 goals, 2 assists
Gouiri - 7 goals, 3 assists
Ferran - 7 goals, 2 assists
Berrenguer - 7 goals, 2 assists
Barcola - 4 goals, 7 assists
Olmo - 4 goals, 5 assists
Adeyemi - 3 goals, 1 assists
Do we have stats on number of dribbles from the left into the middle of the pitch, beating 3 men only to lose the ball? Or gets the the byline and skips past a defender to either hit it at the keeper or outside the near post?
Kind of shows the lack of true world-class wingers at the moment. Other than Mbappe and Vini Jr. there is no one comparable to the prime Salah or Bale, let alone Cristiano and Messi.
The things I look for in a winger is an ability to beat a defender on either side, strong hips for quick changes of direction, body strength and balance to ride a challenge, speed to create separation and finally coolness in decision-making once free in space. I can only think of a few current players who fit the bill.
The final stretch of the season was a litmus test for who is good enough and who is not. We choked, especially up front.
Gakpo stepped up.
Jota was in the sick bay. Pity.
Nunez was terrible.
Salah was not himself.
Diaz was, doing Diaz's things of running around and producing nothing.
Diaz had a full season, he's 27. This version of him is as good as we are going to get, and it is not good enough.
His camp seems to want out, which is kind of ungrateful imo. They seem to think he should be at a higher level than where he is currently at?
SELL.
He can take his South America compatriot with him if the price is right.

We should re sign John Barnes
I just thought of him, actually. If there ever was a perfect LFC winger, it’s Barnes. Hope we’ll get to see another one like him at some point.
You've got to hold and give, but do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you, defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them, get round the back
If he wants a higher level why does he want Barcelona 🤷🏾♂️? I just think like most south americans they want to play in Spain. Brought up on Spanish teams, similar culture and no language barrier issues. The slower league would suit him as well.
Diaz also had a month or so where his father was being held prisoner and a release needed to be negotiated. But of course that had no affect on his performance.
And as his figures above show there are really only 2 players performing at a noticeably higher level. So it's stick or twist.
I wonder why Barca would want him if he's not up to par?
So you are a fan of the Anfield Rap after all?
After this season, and seeing him play game in game out, do you *really* still think he is good enough for us though? If so, why and how?
You can scan through majority of the message boards of various liverpool related sites, nobody is really too fussed with the rumours of him leaving. It's quite telling.
I hope he has a damn fine agent who can get him, and his dad what they want and for us, some serious dough. I can't take another season of the Colombian Milan Baros.
He's not top bracket is he? Good workrate but the end product is no great shakes. A decent offer would be hard to turn down, dependent on who we have our eye on as replacement.
I honestly don't know. New manager so different style of play and like I said there is no-one affordable that is an obvious replacement. I do think the kidnapping must have affected him to a degree too. If he went I wouldn't be wringing my hands but ditto if he stays to work with Slot.
