Luis 'Lucho' Diaz

[Steveo]

I mentioned it in the summer when I could see elements were preparing the fans to accept that Diaz would be cashed in on.

Daniel - one of the best natural finishers you will ever see btw... explains why a the oft cherry picked stats are meaningless. It plays into Klopp too. Diaz - like Mané before him ...was selfless for the team...sacrificed his own numbers for the greater good. Ecen if he had the ability - Gakpo would struggle with this - or it's a bagel in the goals scored column.

Diaz with a MOTM performance - scoring 2 and assisting Arry kane. in a 3:0 win away at the same ground and against the same side which beat Galatasaray 5:1 on the 18th September.

Fuck sake we know diaz is good, don't have to keep posting about him do you and how well he's doing we know we didn't replace him... we know we didn't get what we need I.E a CB and a no6 and a player in for diaz.... ask FSG and hughes why, because i'm at a loss how we've made the depth worse and still need 4-5 players this time next year

Same side that lost to atletico 5-1 BTW but you don't mention that do you? same side union berlin beat 4-3 Away from home, same side Leverkusen beat 3-1 at home with 10 for 35 mins

But lets mention them beating the turks, GUESS WHAT THEY'RE SHIT OUTSIDE OSHIMEN AND YILMAZ AND CAN'T Defend but that's how bad we are !!!!!!

BECause we got one the Best attacking mids in the world and strikers so we can't beat the turks cus too many new players!!!!! first clean sheet in how long again in champs league first win in 7 years was it ?!?!?!?!!!!!!!

fucking excuses

[Steveo]

Calm down dear..

Are we not allowed to talk about Luis Diaz inside the Luis Diaz Thread? And I only mentioned the Galatasaray game because we just played them just 12 days after Frankfurt spanked them. Sorry

Nah you're just being a prick and rubbing it in whilst mocking are current issues good lad !!!!!!!!!

He was still with us when this thead was made he's not now, shall we have a thread for every player that's left or not?

He's gone, who gives a fuck

Bayern beating frankfurt isn't exactly a shock result Dear..... like I said failed to mention previous results and galatasary when not at home is a different story but anything to make us look even worse ey, they'll still probably beat us mind.

I am rubbing it in - that's true, are you not doing the same with your relentless suggestions that we are now shit?

"He's gone, who gives a fuck". Wasn't it you earlier today going on about Trent? He's gone too but it we all do very much give a fuck

The reason I am highlighting Diaz is to expose one reason for the loss of much of our threat and our inability to defend from the front. Surely this is highly relevant at this time when many are puzzled?

Yes about trent but that's different as people blamed him for us conceding goals even though we won the league with him.. and at times wanted bradley to start over him, that's a bit different to what you're doing here, but I don't expect you to understand...

Please tell me how gakpo being the main and pretty much the only left player apart from rio....... was a good idea?? same with no no6 or CB didn't have to be guehi

it's a joke, good luck next summer FSG when we need 2 cbs a LW a no6..... and possibly a RW too after spending like we did this year, fucking crazy.

I can't - as I have repeatedly said - if you would care to actually read what I have posted kev - without prejudice.. I have been largely agreeing with your points. I don't think we are as bad as you are making out but I agree with the points.

Everyone has their hunches about what has changed and why we didn't do x or y.

As I mentioned about Trent earlier - many were expecting a drop off in creativity without him BUT expecting more solidity in defending that flank.. Hasn't happened. BUT then one could argue Slot hasn't helped that by chopping and changing Frimpong - Bradley and most strange of all - taking Dom out of midfield to play there.

And the point on Gakpo again - totally agree hence the Diaz posts.

Not sure what you are so miffed at about me posting Diaz, scratching my head

[Kev0909]

We could play like them in highlights once upon a time.... ((

Look at that fluid attacking and people running.......

but yeah theres not much point going on about diaz, just sack the fuckin transfer staff, and if isak and wirtz don't click sorry but big questions will be have to asked over the manager and failing to get best from players/tactics BUT we're a long way off that yet

[justincredible]

So Lucho, a very decent former Premiership player, is absolutely tearing it up in the Bundesliga.
Florian Wirtz, the former star of the Bundesliga, is (so far) struggling in the Premier League....
Anyone seeing a pattern here?

(and yes, Lucho has had a couple of good games in the CL too)

[Nineteenx]

It was plain idiocy selling Diaz

[Steveo]

Correct - but don’t expect the experts to notice

[justincredible]

Batted his eyes at Barca, but ended up in a one horse League on a bumper pay packet. Fair play to him and papa Luís Senior...

[Steveo]

Got the salary others - far less worthy - in our squad right now are banking. Brilliant business IF you are making the profits that is.

minions galore in this forum

We've had a few players who have also fluttered their eyelashes in Barcelona's direction. Reina, Mascherano, Suarez, Coutinho. None of us know the details as to what deal we offered Diaz, if we did offer him one, and we also don't know what his plans were. If he was dead set on going elsewhere, there would have been nothing those behind the scenes could have realistically done about it.

Would I like Diaz to still be at the club? Yes. But then again I didn't like him and his family fluttering their eyes in Barca's direction after what the club did in regards to the situation his father found himself in.
