Palfy Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 News paper talk is that we are showing interest in him. I’ve always been hot and cold with him but at the moment it wouldn’t be hard for even Gary Barlow to be an improvement on our MF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 His injuries aren't that bad, it's only his pace that keeps him out of the Liverpool team. Klopp prefers speed over technical ability on the wing. I like him, intelligent, good feet and an Evertonian. Gives a different option on the right wing or an upgrade on Delph on the middle.

Bailey Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 You would want him playing through the middle to see him at his best in 10 position or similar. With Gomes/Siggy/Davies/Gordon/Iwobi/Bernard/Richarlison who can all operate in an advanced midfield position or deep striker and with Lallana being slow, injury prone and probably on a fair few quid, its a no from me.

Shukes Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Better player by far than all our midfielders, but fitness is a massive issue for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Interesting views, I’m in agreement with his fitness issues if that’s the reason he doesn’t make the shites team, but if it’s for other reasons and he’s fit then I would take him because he would definitely be an improvement on most of what we’ve got.

AlbanyNYToffee Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 This one is low risk financially. He's on a free and could potentially take a discount to play for his boyhood club and not have to move his family to a new city. Absolutely no more than a 2 yr deal and I kinda like it. He could be our super sub and cool head during cup games with some of the kids playing. Cisk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I don’t rate him that highly anyway. It’s a long time since he’s consistently been a top performer. markjazzbassist, Bailey and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been burnt too many times by signing injury prone players past their prime on cheap transfer fees/free transfers hoping they will shake off their injury problems and return to the good old days. They dont. Lallana is past it and he will sign for someone for 100k+ wages. Be surprised if he plays 20+ league games again in a season for someone. He might put in a MoM performance now and again but not really much else. Matt and Gwlad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My vote of yes is tied to the idea that we would not be signing him with an eye to a starting role. 75k to be our creative presence off the bench with the odd start is all I would be hoping for here. Completely agree with you on injuries/ability to start regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
