Hi ed002 hope you're well. Just a quick question. do you know if Barcelona are interested in Diaz? There seems to be several reports saying that a swap deal is being mooted for either raphinha or de Jong . raphinha seems a strange one as he plays on the opposite flank. unless he could possibly be a mo salah replacement if he follows the riches in Dubai.

{Ed002's Note - Luiz Dias (LW) Could be surplus. His agent already has one player in the Saudi league and has been offering another high profile player he has - so he may well be looking at Diaz as well given Liverpool are welk stocked in the position. Al-Hillal may offer a solution. Liverpool could look to a deal with Barcelona if they are serious about Raphina.

Would never read to much into reports of moves during an international break. A lot of the footballing public have no interest in international football anymore so media have to create stories of transfer to get publics interest.
Always reports of a player r players family saying something about moving and it nearly always taken out of context or complete rubbish.

Maybe some legs to it then Ed’s. but you very rarely see any swap deals being made ??‍♂️??‍♂️ I know we’re well stocked on the left side so would probably be a smart move to have a quality right sided winger to challenge mo… I’m sure we was in for raphinha when he was at Leeds .

Who is our other top left winger that is better than Diaz? I certainly can’t think of one.

We are a completely different team when he plays it would be strange to sell him now. Unless of course he wants to leave, in that case send him on his way and get someone else in.

I love Diaz but nobody is irreplaceable.

Good quality rumour. We're definitely better stocked on the left than the right so could make sense to make a trade and even it out. Sad as I would be to see Diaz go, as he can change a game (ref: Luton) .

Can't see Mo wanting to job share and tho and can't see Raph playing back-up so it would have to be a replacement if Mo were to go. Obviously Mo is 'irreplaceable' but realistically, Raph is the kind of caliber I'd be happy with.

BP - Nunez can play of the left. But he's better central. But Jota and Gakpo who can both play on the left too. Diaz is the best of the three, I agree, but leaving both Jota and Gakpo on the bench is a waste. If Barce would swap either of those for Raph then that would be the ideal but they won't so.

Hope not, never really rated Raphina. Couple of half decent games and that's it. I actually think Diaz could do better if im honest. Good player but he's hardly set the world on fire with us has he?

Only way I am happy with this situation is if Diaz swap wit raphinha and we use the salah money to fund mbappe . But when I last checked carlsberg don’t do transfer windows ?

Be a frightening front 3 with mbappe Nunez raphinha

Cheered me up the thought of this but a Liverpool team with no salah is no fun either.

Apparently the club are not interested in selling - like they said about Mo in the last window.

our starting leftwinger for a Barcelona flop! no thank you.

Not sure why we're talking about Luis Diaz leaving. He's our best left winger and now he's fit and the terrible ordeal for his family is over, he's about to explode (in a good way) .

Let him get to work, starting with City.

Not taking away from his family's dreadful recent hardship the fella has practically done nothing for the team.
Don't get me wrong a brilliant baller but the end product is way too inconsistent.
Ideally a player with similar style of play but with the goals would be Ideal.

@FPF, it came from an interview with Luis’s dad. Something along the lines of Luis being a fan of their’s. A bit like us reading about Gvardiol being a Liverpool fan last year. Basically a slow news day.

Whats this "well stocked on left" nonsense? In this age modern football, are you seriously talking about left legged player being restricted to play on left wing? C'mon, we have seen enough inverted wingers, we have seen Salah who has converted from left winger to centre forward. Diaz is one best ehen team go forward to attack, we should keep him! Raphina time has passed. let's go younger high ceiling like Musiala, Wirtz, Xavi Simons.

@Lee watch out for Trent Kone-Doherty. Him on the left and Doak on the right. They’ll literally save us millions.

Both excellent WDW, even if they became squad players they would save us a fortune.

@WDW with Trent Kone-Doherty and Doak, both wingers bombing down flanks, we can afford to rest our 1rs team players and coast through initital rounds of Cup games.

I haven’t seen anything of Raphinha since joining barce but the lad was exceptional at Leeds.

Salah is irreplaceable no doubt but Raphinha woukd be an excellent addition when does inevitably leave.

Nunez should be nowhere near any wide position except him drifting ovzer there during games.

@Bmena, nobody’s irreplaceable. All things must pass. The thing is we shouldn’t be looking for the next MomSalah, we should be looking towards the first Ben Doak or Kaide Gordon - someone at the start of their journey who can become our next legend.
