Different Gravy

[peterhague]

Some in the didn't work out pile made us loads in transfer fees like Solanke, SVDB, Carvalho etc, while some in the did a job pile like Ox and Thiago costs us loads, recouped very little and were arguably signings we should not have made.

Oh, I missed Thiago - yeah he was a shit signing. One of the worst we made during his time.

 

[Squiggles]

Thiago held the midfield together when we had no centre-backs or central midfielders for months. While Alisson got us into the Champions League, we wouldn’t have stood a chance without Thiago during that period.

A terrible signing overall, no doubt, but his contributions during those three or four months were crucial in securing Champions League revenue. It's like arguing who's shit smells sweeter, but I have Keita as far worse. The most he gave us a MOTM against Crystal Palace and a fan a new football in the CL final.

I think we need a separate category for signings that not only didn't work out but actually fucked us.

Both Keita and Nunez are in that category.

Even within that category there are levels. Nunez doesn't really deserve to be hit with the same label as Keita.

How did Manninger or Andy Lonergan not work out? Were you expecting them to force themself into the team and become our new starting keepers?

How does Shaquri get into the “great signing” yet Diaz only “did a job”?

Shaquiri spent more time in the gym doing power lifts than playing on the pitch.

Thiago is one the best midfielders I've ever seen play for Liverpool.

Won us the game against Man U

He was never fit and that was entirely predictable when we signed him. It was a stupid signing.

 

[StevieM]

So, 2 good performances in 3 seasons is the benchmark?

That rolling a foot over the ball was never bettered.

Don't bring me into this, I'm just trying to give him a little boost.

I don't think he did actually.
I watched the entire game back a few years ago and he was pretty poor.
The commentary was extremely critical of him throughout the game, or at least until he put in that cracker of a cross for Gini's second goal

You brought yourself in 🤣

Fuck off Thiago.

 

[rubans]

Cube was great, not fit enough but a budget signing who contributed. Seen a lot worse since with a fair few pretenders.

Still better than anything Diaz has delivered in highlight games.

That first time cross off a Trent long ball dropping perfectly for Mo on a fast break against West Ham.

Wand of a left peg, no idea why he didn't do more for us.

Actually he didn’t even play all that well, I thought - just put in a good cross at a key moment. His contribution is akin to Smicer in Istanbul for me.

 

[Hansern]

2 weeks rest will be great for him.

Great news!

No he wasn't.

 

[Farkmaster]

Great news!

Only if it's an "injury". He looked fine though.

Most talented, yes. Best, certainly not in a Liverpool kit.
