Yeah, much like Thiago Silva & Koulibaly you don’t bring in a 33 year old on huge wages and convince him to leave a club like Barca to warm the bench. Hopefully he pushes Kai to up his level consistently.

Unfortunately, I don't think Havertz will ever be consistent here.

I can see him following a similar route to Sane.

I just don't think he's built for this league. To skinny. Not strong enough and hes like watching Peter crouch on the ball just so awkward

This whole Auba drama will have me watching the All or Nothing Arsenal. I have not watched the others except the Sunderland season... that train wreck was awesome to watch.

Speaking of which, just saw the episode with the game at the bridge. What an awful reminder. 

Thank fuck we got rid of Sarr and Christensen.

He reminds me a lot of Berbatov. Although not as lazy, he lacks coolness and precision in front of the goal.

I guess time will tell whether that is something he can address as he gets closer to his prime.

I hope we wont pay over the odds for PEA. But if he comes, we will have majority of the team in their thirties. I don't care for being labeled as negative, that is too much. KK, Silva, Azpi, Jorginho, Kante, PEA and Sterling ( I know he isn't in his thirties but he is in PL from 16, his legs are). Kova is not in his thirties but his body seems to be.  I see we are making signings for the future, that's nice. But our entire team feels like some kind of stop gap and should be very different in couple of years.

KK is not Rudiger, I'm sorry. He lacks recovery speed for start. And consistency of Rudiger under Tuchel  is hardly replaced. KK would make solid Andreas replacement.

Defence is weaker, for now,  attack needs to improve at least enough  to make up for  it.  Broja shining would help tremendously as well as PEA  doing what he does best.

Thank God for world cup in the middle of the season, that will help us tremendously, especially as it will help us skip our traditional tumble period.

But Tuchel will be miracle worker if he takes this lot to third or fourth place. It's more challenging than it seems.

One thing is a bit strange tho: they still struggling to register current (Kounde) and future signings, but the harsh statements about De Jong a la "take the pay cut or leave" have completely gone quiet for some time. What actually happened to the De Jong situation? Did Barca accept his defiance?

Liverpool have Matip, Van Dijk, Thiago, Henderson, Milner, Firmino and Salah all in their 30's and Fabinho, Oxlade Chamberlain and Robertson all turn 30 next season. Add to that Liverpool don't rotate extensively and these players have a lot of mileage playing Klopp's high intensity football for a number of years - do you carry the same concerns for them as you do us?

Just because a player turns 30 doesn't make him immediately a bad player. More and more players now are playing at a high level well into their 30's and for some arguably are getting better in their 30's. I know we shouldn't expect everyone to be like Thiago Silva and still be playing at the highest level at 38 years old, but you're listing a number of players that are 30, 31 years old and a 27 year old Sterling. 

There will be a time when they will all eventually be replaced but it's not a situation where we need to replace 4 or 5 in one summer.

Ironically that seems to have sparked up again over the last day or two that Barca are pushing for De Jong to make a decision next week - take a pay cut or leave. Conveniently missing out hidden option number 3 where he stays on his current contract and there's absolutely nothing Barca can do about it.

But Barca doesnt really put any pressure on him to take the cut, otherwise they would send him to the stands, they still play him and it is said he will even start on sunday. Its a weird one all along.

I would so take these Sane numbers from Kai

especially 2018/19, as if he played the same minutes as the year before, he would track to 21 or 22 goals, and 25 or 26 assists, which is WC production, monster numbers (he then had that horrific full year out knee injury in the CS versus Pool on August 14, 2019, and was never truly the same)
