There was zero chance Lille was not going to sell him this summer, their director said that multiple times (obviously they would only sell if a fair price was given. I am just devastated we did not (talking January 2019 window now, when the bans were looming hard) buy Barella and loan him back to Cagliari, Buy Piątek outright (instead we shit away 16m on Higs for six months of toiling, which is more than half what Piątek would have cost to buy PERM (plus his salary is almost 8 times times less than Higs at present grrr) an then do the buy and loan-back thing with Pepe and Lille. We knew the bans were coming, we should have grabbed those 3 players, 2 on the buy and loanback option, like we did with Pulisic (I will not go crazy and say we should have done it /buy and loanback) with 6, 8 players, that is madness) Even if Piątek is not at Jovic or Werner, etc level (and his 30 goals in only 42 games at least shows he can bang them in) he still SURELY was worth £15m (the difference between owning him and loaning Higs for 6 months) to have him here and wholly owned. He is streets ahead of any striker we have had since Costa, and probably since Drogba. In his last 3 games against the top 3 CL Serie A clubs (Juve, Napoli, Atalanta, he scored FIVE goals., 1 v Juve, 2 v Napoli, and 2 v Atalanta. His 'big' 'slump' was 5 goals produced in a 12 and a third game run (and he was carrying a knock in multiple games during that, including the game he left after only 28 minutes, and a couple others he also was subbed off for) Take that out, he scored 26 goals in the other 29 games. That would have been a better winter market for sure. The only defence I'll offer for the club is in regard to the Gonzalo signing. There they seem to have been deferring to the manager's wishes.

Dont think their enough to bridge the gap to Juve but they will comfortably (if they werent already) be the best of the rest even with Conte at Inter. Koulibaly, Manolas, Insigne, James, Pepe, Fabian Ruiz, Allan, Mertens.. very good players all in their own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,944 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 He's the kind of player who I think Klopp would shape into a monster, so hopefully he stays away from there. Napoli sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,147 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Really envious about this. Auba, Laca and Pepe in a front three is deadly. If they get Tierney too, I defo would say they have moved ahead of us and United for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding was actually decent for them before he got injured last season. Tierney will improve them. With the so called £45m budget, if they get Tierney along with Pepe, then that is really good business as they need a winer desperately and they have got a top one too.
