Luis Diaz is the prototypical Klopp/Liverpool hyper aggressive wide forward. Just like Salah, Mané, and Jota he will almost certainly score a load of goals for them.

Meanwhile, all of our wide attackers combined will struggle to score 15 goals over the season between them. 😒

When we bought Werner, there was loads of excitement but avid Bundesliga watchers informed us he would struggle in the Premier League and that based on our formation at the time (433) he would struggle even more being deployed as the sole ST or at LW. 

Ziyech was a smart buy (I still believe so) but he directly competed in Mount's role. He isn't a winger and that is where Lampard continued to play him. 

When we were linked with Havertz, 50% of us asked why and the other 50% said he was a generational talent, that was why. 

 

You can see there was no long term planning or thinking with buying our strikers. Virtually the same thing happened with Lukaku.

His price tag seemed to drop quite a bit. Seems like very good business at that price.

The difference between signings requested by a manager & ones primarily motivated by the board.

Our scouts are heavily invested in bringing in youth players into the academy. 

We need more of statistical/data analytics in regards to recruitment as that was what brought us Mendy.
