🇵🇹 I think the market right now means there isn’t really a ‘Mo Salah at Roma type’ signing for Liverpool.
Instead they have to find their ‘Mo Salah at Basel type’ signing.
What I mean by that is to look outside of the top five leagues.
One player who would be on my shortlist is Carlos Forbs.
23 G/As last season, including 5 G/As in 9 UCL games.
⚡️ He’s incredibly fast. Makes good vertical runs behind defences but also a good one vs one player with quick feet who can change direction, make clever feints and glide past defenders with ease.
Last season he completed 65% of his dribbles - the most out of any player in the Jupiler Pro League who averaged at least 4 dribbles per 90 minutes.
📊 He’s excellent at making cut-backs and going down the touchline. Averaged the 5th most passes into the penalty area (4.25 per 90 minutes) and 0.25 xA per 90 in all competitions.
Only 22-years-old, I think he still has room to grow off the ball defensively and physically he could use his body better - he is small in stature but I still feel like sometimes he loses physical duels that he shouldn’t.
So I’m not saying Forbs is perfect. Liverpool don’t really have a perfect option in the market right now.
However, he does have potential and a profile that would suit Andoni Iraola’s style of play. His speed could bring a new threat to Liverpool in transition and his ability to supply passes and cut-backs into the box is something that could provide Isak with a lot of chances.
Always appreciate a character that has been written off and bounced back as well.
Didn’t get the opportunities he should have at Wolves. Similar to Vitinha. Or Salah at Chelsea.
There aren’t many RWs (particularly left footed ones) in the market right now. Forbs is one I would keep an eye on alongside Yankuba Minteh.
Viendo lo de sarr no puedo entender por qué el Liverpool no quiera desarrollar mejor el talento de Carlos forbs, la gente solo quiere el producto final, pero ya vimos con wirtz y isak que no siempre es la mejor decisión. #LFC
I actually think Defoe’s finishing was better than Tevez’s (obvs Tevez is the better player)
But did I hear Defoe say he backs himself against OWEN????? As a finisher???
Nah he��s taking the piss🤣 these old heads sometimes man
Chukwueze will be very crucial in Amorim's setup, and I can't believe it.
He's not the player that loves to defend, in fact, the italian media has pointed this out.
Tonight, he worked so hard defensively, and also dropped an assist for rabbiot.
A proper style of play will show you how beautiful football is 🥹
Chukwueze is about to win Africa best player soon!!
Amorim will cook here!! https://t.co/jUDUmK0w8z
@Adikastakes The team play is not helping him
Believe me.
MINTEH and barco will elevate this man.
Relax. Those two signings will be perfect and we need a good dm.
