Arf. Reminds me of the time just after Adrian helped us win the Club World Cup and someone said "If selected" (in jest I'm sure) in a thread about Alisson's return.
Yes
Kebak looks very good yesterday.
He's not looked out of place (wish he had a tad more pace but he's not slow) ... and he's only 20 years old. At the price we can buy him I'd be very surprised if we don't.
Agreed. Decent standard already and plenty to work with for the future. Definite buy for me.
I hope we sign him. I feel he's at Lovren's level already and he's only 20 years old. I know it's hard to predict what happens in football, however, we could be getting a very solid CB for years, and there's lots of room for his development further. He's a self-confessed Liverpool fan, so say he signs at least 2 contracts here then you're looking at 2 million a year for what he brings to the side. That's peanuts, even for FSG.
You gotta sign him - it's a snip @ 18 million, and worst case scenario? We sell him for 25-35 in a 'post corona' world in 1-2 years.
Not sure if it's right to think/feel like this, but I'm partly "happy" that we are "ruthless" enough not to commit ourselves to signing a player who we don't "really want".
He’d be 4th choice. Matip and Gomez are dead.
Long term Matip is finished and VvD has sadly probably peaked. £18m for a quality 20 year old CB is peanuts, we've just paid double that for a guy who managed 20 odd games in the last 2 seasons.
I'd sign him and let him battle it out with Konate and Gomez. Matip is a superb defender but he's unfortunately shot physically, we should move him on, sell Davies and send Rhys and Sepp VdB on loan.
That leaves us with Virgil and Gomez who have yet to fully recover from long term injuries and cannot be rushed back, plus Konate Phillips and Kabak.

So Klopp is simply dead wrong? Knows everything that you just wrote, has seen him in training every day, has budget, and just went “nah this inferior injured dude”.
Out of interest, what is the reason Kabak hasn’t been selected for the last few weeks?
Might as well shut the site down then, no further discussions required the manager/club is always right.
He was injured. Another sacrifice to our CB curse.
Exactly mate. Injured. So our friend is talking about players with injury issues but conveniently how they have also impacted Kabak.
Nope. I’m just asking you is that what you’re saying? In this case the manager is dead wrong, plain mistaken, and you don’t trust his judgement? Because that does appear to be what you’re saying. Plus I’m also pointing out that you seem to be conveniently ignoring that in his short time with us Kabak hasn’t exactly been blemish free on the injury front, which seems to have escaped your analysis....
There's a huge difference between the long term impact of a knock that keeps a player out for 2 weeks versus an ACL reconstruction that takes a player out for the season and often never allows them to reach the same level again.
Gomez has a decent chance of a full recovery because he's young. Virgil is 30 in a couple of weeks and it's his second major knee problem we just don't know what level he's going to get back to.
Where as Matip unfortunately just seems to have reached a point where he's not able to play a run of games consistently without breaking down.Theres nothing controversial about this, we seen it before with Sturridge.
