Ludicrous Rumours P2

It is for a teenager, and even then the comparison assumes Sessegnon would be playing left side which, given the way wide men are often played on their "wrong" wing these days, is an unsafe assumption to make.
 
Is no one concerned that we are just being linked with one season wonders?
Dolberg, Schick, Keita etc
I havnt watched any of them play so I would bow to you guys knowledge on these kind of lads, im just a bit concerned that they are flavour of the month when really they have proved two bits of fuck all.

Anyone put my mind at rest here?
The oppo will be out signing Benzemas and Costas and we will be signing a couple of kids with prospect?
I really want some worldy first teamers not some project work

And in mid-August some fucker will call it a great window and several others will agree just to avoid getting depressed by the futility of it all.
We've signed no one and there's been no leaks as to who we will sign. Klopp deserves sometime off to be with his family, allow him two weeks before rattling the cages.

Hey I'll be first in line to rationalize things in August. I'm taking a break now too!
 
Dullberg?

How many times have you watched him play?

Are you blind?
I don't get the comparison at all. Dolberg is a CF who scores far more goals (though in an admittedly far weaker league) and has double the assists and double the shots (same accuracy). Schick is a winger, similar skills to Firmino or Lallana though he's faster over the first 5-10m. Would it be OK if I take both but not one over the other ?

I guess a lot of people will judge him from his performance in the Europa League final where is first touch was decent but he didn't get a second touch before being subbed.

Great season, but he also showed in Euro final that he has a lot to prove to carry a 30 M pound pricetag. He is nowhere near that at the moment. Maybe he should stay in Ajax another season for development reason and lets keep monitoring him.

Grujic was in similar position and cost is 4 M which is more fair for a young guy.
 
As far as ludicrous or otherwise rumours go, I'm OK with links to players like Keita, Mendy and Van Dijk - it shows we are addressing obvious weaknesses in the team in defence and midfield - but where the FUCK are all the links to attacking players and strikers?

We were the lowest scorers of everyone in the Top 4, so it's painfully obvious that we need to add a proper striker to the first team, and also another speedy AM/ winger like Mane.

(Admittedly we also conceded the most goals, but BOTH need fixing).

So bring me LOTS of links, rumours and "done deals" for strikers please.

I guess so, yeah.. hopefully our competitors do the same and we can then get him a bit cheaper (though I doubt it).

Ok yeah, surely we should offer them £4M then. You sound like our board and how we've been acting in the market for the past many years really..

Anyways, he had a bad game and he thought so too;

"I don't think I touched the ball for the first 20 minutes. Maybe I had like ten touches in total and to be fair those I did have wasn't very good. It was a poor game for me. Hopefully I can learn from it, after all it was the biggest game of my career so far."

I think you could argue that he was very isolated and his teammates failed to release the ball to him on several occasions and United, well, just played extremely defensively giving away very little space. Even so, I also think he looked a bit "young" and second best against Smalling etc., it wasn't a good game for him at all.

However that doesn't change the fact that he's been impressing against almost everyone else, from Schalke to Lyon to Feyenoord to PSV. Doesn't change the fact he's outscored any other teenager in the Europa League as well as he's been in devastating form more or less all season in his first senior season. Doesn't change the fact he looks exactly like what we need, he's got all the attributes and the mentality to become an absolutely devastating world class striker.

Having watched more or less all of his games I can say without any shadow of a doubt that his potential is far greater than any of our current lot - which in itself should make him a strong candidate. I even believe he would be ready to play from day one and give our attack much more power and weight.

@redhorizon2 you suggest that we buy a player with 11 goals to his name this season instead of the one with 22, who's even two years younger than him? I get that the Serie A is a stronger league in general but what else do you know about this Schick that makes him a stronger candidate in your opinion? (I mean apart from the fact he wasn't invisible in an EL finale against one of the most defensive United teams ever).
 
The ECHO understands Benjamin Mendy is likely to join Man City or Chelsea. Liverpool will be competing with Spurs to sign Ryan Sessegnon.
