Apparently now we are looking for a player called Abinho now after Endo to replace our captain.
Liverpool, Wataru upto?

He actually looks quite good in those videos.
Yeah if he was back managing a crap side mainz...
Here's my charitable opinion:
Clearly the original plan was Lavia to understudy Fabinho. Fab left and Lavia didn't arrive, so instead we're going for a new first choice (Doucoure?) plus Endo as a rotation option. If that's what he is, he looks really good; committed, strong, stays fit, decent in most areas. So long as we sign a first choice DM and a LCB then all good.
My less charitable opinion:
We haven't got a first choice DM lined up and I'm not 100% convinced with any option we've been linked with. Doucoure when he was at Lens looked much better than he did at Palace in terms of suiting us. The other midfielders we're linked with don't seem to be DMs at all. And we don't seem to be after a LCB which is baffling to me. Very little of this makes sense.

Baby Redondo! Yay!
This isn't a Klopp buy... This is a DoF buy. Was probably asked for a cheap stop gap buy and this was the best he could come up with....
We will see soon enough. If Klopp doesn't rate him and doesn't want him then I doubt he will play him.
we're not signing 6 players mate
Oh I reckon he'll do OK in the dm position. Maybe if a little better than what's there now but this wasn't even an idea 5 days ago.. Panic set in after the embarrassment of last week and they had just get something in with the fear of getting no one...
This isn't a transfer strategy....
Definitely, and that's on the owners. Klopp wanted to extend his contract by a year but they said no.
It’s like we suddenly decided that wanted to spend a fortune signing a brand spanking new top of the range Ferrari, headed off to the dealership with cash in hand, and as we were sitting waiting on the keys some flash cunt just walked away with the last one.
To console ourselves with not getting the Ferrari, we’ve treated ourselves to an old beaten up, second hand Toyota Corolla…

Because it's Ulez compliant we paid over the odds for it, even though it has 190k miles on the clock and the mot is set expire next month. What is Jorge doing? Hendo who is 31 went for £12m, who is a league and CL winner

We moved really fast for this guy so clearly had already scouted him. He obviously isn't the DM we were after as first choice so here's the issue, we've got Badger and Thiago and now wastrd £15m of our limited budget on a 30 yr old. This only makes sense if Thiago is leaving and we will still get our 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice new DM in before the window slams shut.
Not seen him to know what he'd bring to us as a player, but if we've got someone who will allow us to play Mac Allister as an 8 and Gakpo in the false 9 role, and won't block Baj's pathway to the first team for years, that's reasonable for a stop gap. There's a reason why we were prepared to pay 111 million for Caicedo and less than a fifth for Endo.
Sorry but no there isn't : Virgil (Dutch captain)' Ali, Robbo (Scotland"s captain), Thiago, Mo (Egpyt's captain) and Szobo is the CZ captain and some others played in a team / squad challenging for 4 titles to the end! How many other squads can boast of 4 national captains? We have tons of experience and leadership.
And was finished. Rose tinted glasses out in full force.
Shouldn't we at least...I dunno...give the guy a chance first before crucifying him[emoji2377]. He doesn't have to do any spectacular, just protect the back 4. We have enough attacking talent. We need clean sheets. City don't score as many goals as they used to but keep a lot more clean sheets.
I'm actually not against a signing nobody heard of or saw coming - it's more that he's 30 which makes no sense. If he was 23 with the same stats it says moneyball or whatever.
Very curious what's still in the tank for us.
Endo seems like a utility guy and maybe a very good one, but we seem to need one big uplifting name in the squad for vibes at a minimum and big Jorg and our negotiating team don't seem to be able to compete so it's gonna depend on who is left and who wants to join our club so desperately their head won't be turned

No one's crucifying him, we all have see the stats, he is good. Its the price, in the last year of his contract and 31. We are questioning it. If we win the Europa Cup and finished top 4, and he is major part of that, we will stop questioning it
The reason one costs 110+ and the other 20 has nothing to do with our strategic squad planning (ha!) . Caceido and the amount we were willing to pay for him is not relevant to this conversation.
Eventually age does impact on physical compatibility.
