Luis Diaz signs for Liverpool

[rossdapep]

He was the first to confirm we were in Lisbon to meet with Sporting about Fernandes.

He knows stuff.

 

[bloodzeed]

66m release clauses?..we will probably have to match that to get him

 

[SandroClegane]

A move like this in January would be a huge statement of intent. Regardless of anything else that happens this window.

Same journo who called Ronaldo to City confirmed and seems to have a few other suspect 'announcements' in his past too. Seen others say he's fairly reliable though, but safe to say worth waiting for Sepulveda, Romano or a Spurs Journo to report before getting too giddy.

Seen a few say this. Calling Ronaldo to city was not a bad announcement. It was practically done until Ferguson / OGS / United called. Can’t really be used to call him suspect. As we all know deals change by the minute…

Terrified when we talk about spending these kind of fees given that we've never signed a single player for real money that's been worth it. Fair play to the club to be honest if this comes off and we spaff that out considering our history, especially bearing in mind that we still owe Atalanta a hefty wedge in the summer.

 

[bloodzeed]

If we sign him and he turns out shit I'm done how many players have we spent big on and turned shit

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Be lovely if we have the added bonus of making The Sun look like mugs. ?

You just have to keep going for it though and try your best to get it right next time. Eventually we will get at least one right.

Regarding the Sun. They’re always reliable in my experience. Reliable to be used for when I run out of bog roll that is. Ain’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

 

[bloodzeed]

Tbf remember the sun were the first to break story when we signed Luka modric

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Do these people not sleep? ?

If he pushes us over the line to qualify for the champions league then he's already paid back his fee.

Not with just the TV money, but also the additional revenue from matchdays, sponsors, etc...

He honestly could be the difference.

That deal was amazing. No links what so ever and I remember waking up one Saturday morning and it was announced out of nowhere.

If only they were all like that.

I think Romano said he only gets 3-4 hours sleep a night during windows. It’s when they earn their coin!

 

[Hotspur88]

All quiet my end on all fronts, but a front three of Diaz, Son & Kane is mouthwatering!

This would truly be a statement signing and hopefully allay a lot of your fears regarding backing Conte. IF we get this over the line, it should tell you everything you need to know.

Come on FP, let's get this done!

Before Twitter was around wasn't it?

I seem to remember a bit of build up. He was almost snapped up by Newcastle wasn't he?

 

[FinnYid]

25 on his first better season goalwise on Portuguese League. Is he bit late bloomer or just on good streak?

 

[Griff001]

Well this is exciting! Hope it's true.

It would also shut up this ridiculous narrative that seems to have become the norm across social media and rival fans etc that Conte will walk because we won't back him etc.

This would be a huge statement of intent.

Might be misremembering but I'm sure there were pictures in the press of Levy out in Croatia trying to tie up the deal etc before it was official.

Might be my memory though!
