He can score from 25 yards that will be a welcome sight from one of our strikers, I don't think illl miss DCL pea roller attempts, DCL is suppose to be a striker I don't think I've ever seen him hit a ball hard, I really do hope Tosun is the strikers we have been crying out for.

SPOT ON
 

it is rather alarming that Kone is doing just as well in Turkey.

It really is. A player who wasn't good enough for us, Sevilla, whichever team he played for in Germany etc etc.

At £27m he is going to be a serious gamble on the Slimani scale. Not what we need right now.
 

Don't think it is that simple.

Liverpool replaced Rodgers with Klopp - keeping the same style but getting someone who could coach it better.
They have targeted and signed players specifically to play within that system
They have replaced the old boys / agent driven recruitment with a top quality analytics team
Players are recruited to keep for their peak years and sell at top value.

We've gone from Martinez - Koeman - Allardyce all of whom play vastly different styles and have different ideas on player needs.
We've got a bloated squad with so many players who don't fit into our style of play
We replaced our analytics team (regarded as the best in the business) with 60 something scouts and a bog standard database used by everyone else.
Players are being bought at peak value and then sold on at a loss.

Hate to praise them and attack us but needs to be said.
£75m for Van Dijk hardly bargain of the century. Most of the players they've bought have been pants, with the exception of Mane, who seems to have gone off the boil, and Salah. Coutinho has been there for years, they must've bought 20 players in that time and he is the only 1 worth a carrot.
 
Shaw was awful on Monday and unfit

it makes you wonder how a premier league player can actually be unfit??

his performances and lack of apperances all point to it being a problem for him.

its ok people saying , oh give him a run a 15 games to get him match fit blah blah blah....

the lad should be 100% fit and ready to do 90 minutes whenever called on.

its mind boggling

Batembi Gomis, a player who scored 7 in 31 and 6 in 33 for Swansea has nearly a goal a game in Turkey this season

Adebayor, 1 goal in 12 for Palace last season

Burak Yılmaz, who has scored masses of goals in Turkey but has only been risked by a Chinese club because people realise the standard is so bad.

We're about to nearly double the record. Yerrrrrrrrs

It's too simple to use stats in that way. Some players coming from "inferior" leagues do well, some don't, there's simply no way of knowing until he's played 30 games in the Premier League. That does make it a gamble, but it doesn't automatically mean he will fail.
