He did well at Southampton. They wanted to sign him on a permanent and at that level he could well have been a regular starter IMO. I'd be OK either with keeping him as a squaddie or with selling him for the right fee.
But have to remember that Diaz was our actual summer transfer target so his free has to be taken out of any budget which usually is in the region of 20-40m so would reckon we need to sell before to buySo… we’ll likely sign maybe 2 players in an around the £30-40m mark, is what I’m hearing - one a midfielder and one a forward.
Can’t see Nunez, Bowen, Tchouameni being realistic targets.
I reckon there’s a chance we don’t sign anyone.l of note.

Have no problem with minimno staying, is a way better player that origi who despite having scored a few important goals is still not a good playerMini was top scorer in the competitions we won last season. Deserves to stick around in a squad role if he's happy to do so. Even more so with Origi leaving and 5 subs in play next year.

Yes, I did factor Diaz in. The only tweak I made in my calculations was to include a full year of his salary, and not six months as we had this year.I think Beamrider is factoring that in already.
It all depends on what terms we negotiate - higher fee, spread over a longer period or lower fee with more up upfront.
That, and what other teams offer and whether the player wants to join us.
It’ll be down to right players, right terms, right price.
Lol once he's fucked off in Milan and his cult influence has waned you will see him for poor footballer that he is. Nice guy though but cult leaders usually are to suck you inPlease rinse that out of your mouth. How dare you.
Even if Taki scores a million goals next season, he'll never, i repeat, NEVER, achieve cult status and adoration like Lord Divock.
Of all cults concerned, Divock has surpassed them all. And this includes Titi, Biscan, et al.
Oh right he's that good that we couldnt get 20m for him. He has don't ok coming off the bench a few times, has deservedly earned a place in our folklore/history but annoys the fuck out of me when people but him in legendary class . That should only be for actual Liverpool Legends, players who are a cut above everyone else, have served the club with distinction. Dalglish, folwer, Gerrard, souness,Hansen , highway.... Origi ... See the difference...You're off your chump mate. Poor footballers don't make a habit of scoring vital pressure goals.
Lol did you just say Origi is better than Steve highway ?You say yourself that Origi has earned a place in our history. Perhaps you'd like to explain how that would have been possible for a "poor footballer". Most of those other players you mention (with the exception of Heighway) were better than Origi, but that's got bugger all to do with what he achieved in vital pressure games.

I'm not denying he has popped up with a few important goals when coming on as a late sub in a few games , has been in the right place a few times and scored and that's great but his overall contribution does tend to be rather shit . I don't want to be continually ragging the lad cos I actually like him as person from what I've seen of him but as a footballer when he comes on I do feel dread.
Surely scoring a last minute winner against Everton and a 2 against Barca that turned the tie shouldn't be enough to make him a club legend . Yeas he a great record of scoring against Everton and if the shoe was on the other foot and he played for Everton and scored a few against us he would go down in folklore , be up there with Dixie Dean but we are Liverpool and it has to take more to be a club legend for us.
Respect what he has done for us , but club legend you are having a laugh, better than Steve highway is even a bigger laugh
Never thought I’d say it but Gettin sick of Mo and his agent plus his goal drought ..borin the ass off me right now
just sayin…
So have I, and you think origi is a better player and you say I've been smoking something funny.You forgot the decider in a Champions League Final. I saw Stevie Heighway live more than once - good player, right enough, but if you think he qualifies for legend status I'll have lots of whatever you've been smoking.
He has serves us well, just think the term club legend gets banded about way to easily thesedaysOrigi served the club with distinction. Don't think you could argue against that
Still fed up of hearing about his stay or go and now possible club in prem league ..sometimes it all just goes on for too long..since Afcon he’s not been quite up to speed in my opinion..the ongoing will he won’t he has become irritating at least to me …Goal drought? He scored against Wolves
scored a fa Cup final winner in e/t against arsenal
I might be wrongYou sure about that one?
You are.I might be wrong
Oh it was the first to put us 1-0 up in e/tYou sure about that one?
Hush now everyone… the grandad’s are fighting.
They can just make stuff up - no-one else is old enough to remember and they’re too senile to be sure any stat they come up with is true.
