I'm a Man Utd Fan, and I am here to tell you that we are winning the league next season.
We need to sign more Brazilians; I'm not expert but Brazilians equal wins
Is this guy just Minamino 2.0?
Scouser here. Was in San Sebastián in the late spring and went to Sociedads last home game of the season against atletico. Kubo was the best player on the pitch. Technically brilliant. Close control clever passer high energy. The Coutinho analogy is quite apposite. Only downside is will he replicate such attributes in the PL.And then the physical aspects required to thrive here… but as a natural footballer he was very impressive.
What about Ben Doake? That's his area of the pitch.
Top 6 if we are very very lucky.
Guys Harvey Elliott is not good enough for LFC, when he plays its as if weve only got 10 men on the pitch as he just dissappears continually.
David silva never had a strong end product it's not everything
Salah missed 16 big chances last season and he scored the same amount of goals in the league as Nunez did fron open space.
So not sure why you're think should be the target man
Weve tried Salah as a number 9, it doesnt work.
Kubo has played 5 seasons against real Madrid and Barcelona a scored one goal from a stray ball, he is nothing special and well be handing Real Madrid a gift of 50% sell in clause.
We should go after Adyemi, William, Frimpong or proven wingers in the league like Bowen Or Mohammad Kudos.
Kubo has scored what….. 16 in 85, we already have better players than him and you can say oh but he'll have the attack and press of the Liverpool team true but he will also face much better oppositions that he did in la Liga excluding Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona of course.
FSG out.
I just do not rate Kubo.
His stats are just not good enough – career goal scoring rate is a goal every 7/8 games with assist rate even lower (only 13 assists in 5 years); last season his rate was slightly better – goal every 6 games and an assist every 8 games, but still not nearly enough. Nor do I think he looks that great on vids – he looks quite predictable and not that strong, certainly I think Ben Doak or Kaide Gordon are just as good if not better, and they are younger, faster and free. He looks OK but just nothing special. I certainly wouldn't pay 60m for him.
I am sure Man City and Arsenal are trembling with these links 😂
I don't understand the Kubo link for a minute. In the admittedly small amount of footage I watched I really fail to see how he improves on the likes of Elliott or Szoboszlai. If he's an option for an emerging no. 10 we've Gravenberch, Jones, MacAllister, Salah who can all fill in there.
Hard not to think of the Benitez quote: I asked for a table and they brought me a lampshade. This team is crying out for an athletic no. 6.
Where's the ambition? We're Liverpool! Please sign a top quality CB and DM. Up the mighty Reds.
Always they feed us a couple of 'red herrrings'. Maybe a distraction tactic
remember when sarah joined his output wasn’t exactly great
Tonight, a journalist from the media outlet affiliated with a major Japanese newspaper, which was the first to raise the issue of Kubo from Japan, spoke about Kubo's transfer.
He specifically said that with a fairly high degree of certainty the transfer would happen.
He also said that the chances are around 80%.
In other words, the situation seems to depend on Kubo.
Of course, there are transfer break-ups like Caicedo and Fekir, so we won't know until the end.
There seems to be only a few sensible people in the comments. All I seem to hear is nobody is good enough and fsg out. Or slots not good enough or whoever else. So mich negativity. I thought our fans were better than this. Bloody Instagram Instageneration
Its not a great idea to get an African/Asian player to cover an African/Asian player as both – primary and backup players will be away on international duty at the same time
Am I one of few who think that Liverpools priority has to be their defence this transfer window?
They need a first choice CB and a backup LB in my opinion
We don’t want another Minamino..
We need a goal scoring no 9. Jota is the only good one we have but unfortunately always injured..
