What if he signs and becomes a reliable shield in midfield? What do we call Ed then?

Note: I don't think CAN is a fit for us though....


You kept on changing the narrative in your discussion with Boern and your statements seem to have this air of finality as if you can see the future.

a return to Barca? that's not happening.
I doubt the stats support your assertion of being the best dribbler in the league.
I still don't see him as what our team need, and no I don't see him as any improvement either.

I saw your Mane reference earlier. Mane scored 31 in 63 at age 21/22, that 1 in 2 give or take. I don't know about Adammadu's career till this point but he's 23.
Don't get me wrong tho, I like his pace and pawa.
Check the stats, i doubt if you will get a better stat in the league. He is averaging 4.9 dibbles per game. For comparison Rashford is averaging 1.8 per game, Martial 1.7per game, and Jame just 1 per game.
Traore makes more successful dribbles per game than our entire attack COMBINED.

This guy is way better than James and it is not even close. He has speed that is slightly less than James but way more skill and power. He will definitely be an improvement on a player that is useless against deep lying defences because of his inability to dribble.

Mane was scoring those goals in the Austrian League. Not saying Traore will become as good as him, but context is important. Olanrewaju Kayode was top scorer in that league 3 seasons ago.

I'm not saying he's not a good footballer but looking at the team, pace isn't in short supply. Dan James has been too fast for our players so far, supplying crosses into the 6 yard box our strikers can't meet.
when teams park the bus, the pace becomes a little useless and that grace or refinement on the ball becomes necessary.
for me I'm thinking a guy like Bernardo Silva will do us much good.
Pace is not what makes Adama dangerous. His pace helps but it is actually his dribbling ability that sets up the space for him to run into, unlike James who has to pass back to AWB every time he is closed down.

You ain't correcting any Notion Bruh, you simply didn't understand the Context of my Message (Average).

Was Herrera a United Reject?! Ain't they left same way?!

Anyway, let's stop the Argument here, he's not good enough for United...... EOD.
I've never seen anyone so stubborn to the point of even quoting his own gaffe and yet keep insisting he's right. You're like Ganduje who was caught on camera taking bribe but yet keeps denying it. If you weren't wrong, then prove to everyone right here that Can is a Liverpool reject.


This were your words

CAN ain't the type we needed, he's not good enough for United. A Liverpool Reject or Leftover shouldn't be considered at United.

It's like Chelsea or Liverpool going for Herrera? You think their Fans gonna celebrate or wish for it to happen?!
Drop 3 links where Liverpool refused to give him a new contract. I've dropped two links, one which Klopp used his mouth to confirm he was offered a new contract for MANY months and he rejected it in order to move to a new club, and a second where Can confirmed he refused to sign a new contract coz he wanted to move to a club where he'd win titles. Both were from the horse's mouth not hearsays, not rumors.

You've even brought up another confusion into this mix. You just keep grasping at straws that keeps failing you. How is Can and Herrera's situation the same?

Herrera was offered a new contract but NOT UP TO THE WAGES he was demanding for, that's what the rumors were saying, so he refused to sign and moved to where he'd be paid the wages he desired.

While in Can's case, wages was never the issue. He was NOT INTERESTED IN SIGNING any contract because he wanted to leave to a club he'd win trophies because he didn't envisage Liverpool would be this successful. Klopp confirmed it with his words, Emre Can the same thing. So, how are both cases the same?

You know what? Forget it, bro. You've won, I'm wrong. I shouldn't be caught this early arguing over facts that can be verified on the internet.

Interesting question.

The advantage is always with the attacker because he only needs to beat the defender 1 or 2 times to inflict damage, whereas the defender has to be perfect all game.

Having said that 1v1 AWB is a defensive beast. I won’t bet against him in a duel with any forward in the EPL.

No lies... Adama possesses the skillset to easily go past Bissaka, that guy dey dribble.

But then, Wan Bissaka is nicknamed 'Spider' for a reason grin He can always make recovery tackles with those his long legs.

Plus, he's no pushover physically. So, I believe he can hold Adama down. With support from the RW grin

To some extent, I believe AWB can stop him. He's good at dispossessing his Opponent with slide Tackling, thus I believe he's gonna be difficult for Adama to dribble/pass him anyhow.

He is quick and he is strong. It would be difficult for one man to shut him down all game. Adama in the past was the one shutting himself down with poor decisions. If it is about dribbling a player, that one is just a simple sturvs for him.

AWB though is quite good defensively and normally times his tackles well and makes better recovery runs than Fat Luke.

Summary is that Adama vs AWB is better for my heart than Adama vs Shaw.

If AWB shuts Traore down i won't be surprised, and if Traore is the first forward to disgrace AWB i won't surprised either.

It was hypothetical. Also, I saw him drift towards the left at a point yesterday so it's not entirely impossible.

It seems Grealish is twerking for a move to Man Utd. I'll say get him asap. A combo of him, Fred and Pogba will most definitely unlock defensive lines. BTW, he won't cost arm and legs like Maddison

Valencia wasn't much of a dribbler but he was a menace to any LB.
Dan James isn't experienced at this level that's why I'm not saying much on his display but I like his work ethic, and that's a big plus for his development.
let's move past it, perhaps the future will reveal more to us.



what was your take on our last game and why do you think we managed to score four times after going one down?
for me it was a far better movement in the final third.
Martial especially was willing to commit to the press and the midfield/defense pushed forward to create bodies for the pass. I thought that was kind of a new demand on the whole team and also the major reason we were vulnerable to counters early in the game before they managed to balance it out.

The team knew they needed to play well considering their last performance and so were up for it. Also Newcastle were pretty poor defensively when they didn't have the ball and they also gifted us 2 goals.

I am not sure much can be taken from that performance considering the team has blown hot and cold all season. MAYBE AWB getting an assist, Greenwood getting a goal, and Fred continuing to improve (although he lost the ball leading to the Newcastle goal).
