AndersonBLUE 819 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Probably a reason why Liverpool want this player. It's their type of signing. Do we really need him when we just signed Traore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Salah will probably be Mourinho's next SWP...Chill out Jason lol. I know a lot of us are upset over Mata but it's not as if Salah is directly replacing him if he does end up joining, which is looking increasingly likely. Give the guy a chance lol. Look how that initial Willian apprehension by some fans turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he will be successful or not is another issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have learned my lesson not to trust people on here lol. "Willian is terrible. Negredo is not Chelsea level. Suarez is a Liverpool standard player."How bad can this guy be really? he's very fast and scored 3 times against us in the past 2 seasons. If he signs, yay, a good option to have on the bench. And hopefully he settles in well and helps the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hopefully he settles in well and helps the team.I don't think anyone said Willian was terrible - the signing at the time just didn't make sense to a few people - it had nothing to do with his talent. Negredo and Suarez were signed to challenge for the first team, not as squad players.My main gripe is that he isn't much better than some of the loanees we have out there already, so signing him as a squad player for £16m would be annoying seeing that Bertrand Traore, Piazon or Atsu could have a similar impact too.

sdrcfc 461 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 If anything he's a replacement for De Bruyne, not Mata. Mata's transfer, if it goes through, will either be used on a world-class striker (potentially Rooney) and/or Shaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe that if the player is very limited, but has the work rate and mindset of someone like Azpilicueta, Mourinho will love him and he will be a great tool for us.

quickpassnmove 924 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 don't understand why some dislike purchase of Salah. very good player, it seems. I still think Oscar will not remain an "attacking midfielder" forever. He seems to be gaining some weight recently which will help him in center midfield ITF.

Jype 6,398 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Cool. If we get this guy, we'll have Hazard, Oscar and Willian as clear first choices for the three AM positions with Schürrle (LW) and Salah (RW) as backups, both of whom are very much the kind of players Mourinho likes to use. If Oscar gets injured or rested, Jose can play Hazard or Willian down the middle and the team has an opening for one of the wingers to prove themselves. In my opinion that's the kind of balance we should be looking for instead of having too many players who possess completely different kind of qualities and who all expect to be guaranteed startersI wouldn't be against bringing back Bertrand Traore either because he looks a cracking player already at 18 but I don't know, maybe it would be a little cuntish thing to do if the club just recalled him now after Vitesse have already made plans for Traore and how they're going to use him this season when they're looking to win the title.

Jusek 2,031 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Looks like a Mourinho type left footed right winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Mmm not sure, but once again if this is what Jose sees as right then so be it, i'm willing to give him a fair crack of the whip if he signs.Seemed to always give us the run around when we played them, so we shall see.

sdrcfc 461 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'd still much rather we kept Mata. Reus, Draxler, Di Maria would all be better buys although expensive. Depends if we can bring in a world-class ST, LB, etc as well.

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 great signing! clearly a Mourinho player! and has potential to become world class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Partridge 1,124 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Do not compare this guy to Mata. This guy has more pace and works a lot harder off the ball than Mata. He will be a good squad player and I am pretty sure he can get himself a decent amount of games for us. No doubt Mata is the better footballer but he's not the right fit for a Mourinho team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
