Fair play to the guy. Thats an impressive!

I suppose tbf you can’t really blame them. Me boy was heading home after training to brush up on his Señorita

Only heard the first few lines and there was the annoying fooking translation going on but from what I heard the Spanish wasn't bad at all!!

Where does he play for Liverpool, looks a fabulous player but there doesnt seem to be a very immediate obvious answer to that. False 9?

I don't know a lot about the player, i know hes young but it's a hell of a lot of money for a player .

Decent deal. Same basic fee as Declan Rice. £16m more in add-ons

It's a benchmark Herb. Midfielder of a similar age who was signed for a similar fee.

Fair enough. I'm just shocked at Liverpool spending so much on one player . Man city/utd and maybe Arsenal yes but it doesn't seem to be the Liverpool way so they must really rate him especially since they more or less got a free run at him once he decided to leave the bundsliga.

My guess is he'll play in a central attacking midfield role (as part of a 3, with 2 of Gravenberch/MacAllister/Jones/Szoboszlai behind him).

But he could equally play as a false 9 (...either most weeks or some weeks against tougher opposition, like Diaz did at times).

He has also played as a wide attacker coming in off the left, but Liverpool are well-stocked there currently with Diaz and Gakpo.
