Cody Gakpo

[MartyFunkhouser]

We absolutely need a starting LW as a high priority

Its the biggest weakness for me...........glaring

I agree generally. But as de Zerbi's 4-2-3-1 is similar to Poch's, our wings will probably be fairly narrow, and one in particular might do the Eriksen narrow right role (if we play a high presser like Bergvall or Sarr through the centre as more of an Alli)

If Kulu plays RW then we need an attack-minded RB to bomb forward outside of him like Walker did for Eriksen. Similar to if Madders plays LW.

Personally I see Kulu as our Havertz-type player in the 9/10 position. He’s great at holding the ball up, exceptionally skillful and with a good eye for goal. He has the physique to hold off CBs but the ability to make room for himself. He doesn’t have good top-speed but against low-block teams I would be very happy to have him play a Sheringham-type role.

Gakpo is tons better than the City Boy "Wonder" why anyone wants him

Gakpo is a direct scorer, Savio is more of a creator. So it depends on what you prefer? Someone with more general game involvement who can be used break teams down, hit on the counter and relieve pressure or Gakpo who will be involved in the general game less but has a much more direct threat, is a good finisher and a decent assister but is more a finisher of moves as opposed to a creator of them.

I'd rather have Chadli. He was very underrated.
He almost came a generation too early - I think he'd be in high demand these days

he gave his all but was terribly unfit and would fade quickly in games

 

[metalgear]

and would be an upgrade anyhow - we don't have a real threat down the left wing and gakpo is better than odobert at 1v1s.

Gakpo is very decent for what we need. 15 goals a season from the wing, know what you are getting. Functional threat and keeps going and doing thr job asked

I've always quite liked Gakpo.

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

I rate Odobert highly and i think he is going to become a top player, its a shame he got injured when he did because he was looking a real threat.

I like him...think he's shown in glimpses he could have a high ceiling. Also had a real turnaround in confidence...just went for it without fear.
The BIG worry is he's had surgery for an ACL and a hamstring injury/issue that was only also sorted with surgery.

Porro?

Porro?

Yes, for the next five years!

 

[robp135]

Good player for me.

 

[Zavod 311]

not for me

 

[Gutter Boy]

I quite like him. But I think he's a £30m player and Liverpool will want £50m+
