Ed001 what's your view on Kvaratskhelia, his age for me makes him a great signing and if the £70m asking price is the starting point think it would be a great signing. I think we should maybe cash in on Diaz in the summer with only 2 years left and at 28 would be perfect time.
{Ed001's Note - I think he is a great player and would love him in the squad.}
10 Jan 2025 12:49:29
He would take us up a level, just find it impossible to believe.
10 Jan 2025 12:57:30
Yeah me too I can remember talking to you about him before we played them that year and saying he frightened out of me as to what he was going to do to us and he never proved my nerves wrong. I see a lot of people saying we don’t need another left attacker but I don’t think anyone thought we needed another keeper in the summer. I also think he is massive upgrade on our left attackers and would be like a trine Mane replacement for quality.

Anybody who get's compared to Maradona (and the comparison isn't met with laughter or mockery) is one hell of a player. He's probably the most powerful runner with the ball in world football and unlike other players who are lauded as superb ball carriers (like Hazard or Grealish for example) Kvaradona actually has consistent end product to his game. He'd be one of the most exciting signings in Liverpool FC history. It doesn't matter that we have players in his position already. He's going to be one of the top 5 players of his generation in my opinion. If we have a chance to sign him, we have to at least try.
10 Jan 2025 14:01:35
Diaz is one of best players I have no idea why anyone would want to get rid of him he is a nightmare for defenders unlike the one trick pony Gakpo. We need reinforcements all over the pitch but I doubt the club is smart enough to realise this.
10 Jan 2025 14:11:35
The transfer window really draws the stupidity out of some people. Gakpo a one trick pony? What a load of nonsense.
10 Jan 2025 14:27:21
If a contract renewel cannot be agreed with Diaz then the summer is the ideal time to sell him, we wouldn't want a key asset running into the last 12 months of his contract would we? Kvaratskhelia would not only be a good replacement but probably an up-grade. If he becomes available we should at least give it a go.
10 Jan 2025 14:34:24
I reckon the Maradona comparison is because they both played for Napoli.
If he's a fifth as good as Maradona he is good.
I don't know anything about the Georgian and the comparisons but Maradona was the best ever, for me.
It was like he had complete control over the ball. I still love to watch clips of him now.
A genius.
10 Jan 2025 14:40:08
Sadly its said the club will not sign him. Nobody wants rid of Diaz Lucas, but contract negotiations with him are going nowhere and he wants Barcelona.

Kvara is my favorite player to watch and I have said about 20 times on here that I would love to see him in a red shirt, but this was before cody showed us the player that he can be on the left flank. The thing is that cody has been superb on both sides of the ball and his overall game has just gone up by a few levels this year.
Kvara is a very unique player in that he can, as can cody for that matter, carry and create all by himself, a lot of his goals and goal involvements just involve him picking the ball up from deep, driving at the defense or tearing defenders up one on one all on his own. Basically he is like a one person battering ram on the left flank, you give him the ball and he surges up the field. That being said I don’t know how he would adapt to our sort of game, defensively as well, would be interesting to see, and he likes to have speculative pops from distance that can half the time end up in the stands.
10 Jan 2025 15:15:08
I don't mind if Diaz goes.
A replacement shouldn't be too hard to find. Filling Mane's boots was always going to be hard but even he had to go at the end.
10 Jan 2025 15:46:57
Kvaratskhelia isn’t joining us. He’s in talks with PSG, as are Napoli. If we sell Diaz or Nunez there won’t be a replacement this window. Same if Chiesa goes back to Italy. Any money coming in is balancing the books and not being used. It’ll be freebies and cheap transfers if at all we’d anything next summer.
10 Jan 2025 15:55:54
I don't mind if Diaz goes either. He's a good player but I wouldn't call him much more than that and I've been fed up for a long time about hearing him wanting out to a Spanish club. He's let his dad rule the roost for far too long but part of him must also want out otherwise he'd of put it to bed last year so yeah, for me he can go.
10 Jan 2025 16:02:06
Diaz really frustrates out of me. He flatters to deceive, his running at defenders is terrifying and his effort when he is on his game is staggering but how many times does he deliver a killer final ball? And how predictable is he with cut inside and if he cannot shoot from the edge of the box, he lays off a 5 yard pass sideways or backwards. Somehow he gets a pass from criticism.
Plus his representatives are constantly flirting with Barca. That is a definitely no-no for me and yet he gets nowhere near the flack Trent is getting at the moment.
10 Jan 2025 16:32:31
I just want to make it clear I think Gakpo is a good player no doubt. I do get tired of him constantly cutting inside and blazing the football out of the stadium 5 times in each game. He is also majorly predictable and not a great dribbler when trying to beat his man.
10 Jan 2025 17:04:38
Come on, all wingers do that, and gakpo has scored some crackers doing that this year, clearly he has been given the license to do so by slot. He also isn’t the dribbling in tight spaces type, he has other qualities that have been utilised to great effect.
And is there any way I can hide viktor’s posts? I’m sure when we signed Mac allister and szoboszlai he was saying the exact same thing.
10 Jan 2025 21:12:26
So in quick summary, virtually all our forward players are crap and need replacing. Meanwhle back here on Planet Earth we're top of the league and Europe. Still.
Slot's a genius carrying all this deadweight.
11 Jan 2025 01:10:42
Not a patch on Maradona.
I actually think this lad is overrated.
He’s OK but he’s not that great. I don’t think he improves us that much.
We need a striker, not another dribbler.
