On the first day of January...............

What happened to Steelwool?

Rust got the better of him...

I am most encouraged by the reaction of the Porto fans to losing the the player. They appear genuinely gutted by losing him.

Yup. Tallied with the disappointment expressed by spurs fans, it could be the perfect signing… if it happens and if he’s any good.

It’s Done


Liverpool have signed Colombia winger Luis Diaz from Porto in a deal worth 45m euros (£37.5m), with a further 15m euros (£12.5m) in potential bonuses.

Diaz has signed a contract until 2027 with the Merseyside club.

The 25-year-old had previously been linked with a move to Tottenham, who reportedly had a bid of around £38m rejected.

He requires a work permit and is unlikely to arrive in Liverpool until the end of next week at the earliest.

Diaz has scored 14 goals and provided five assists in 18 league appearances this season for Porto, who are top of Portugal's Primeira Liga.

The winger is currently on international duty with Colombia for World Cup qualifying matches.

Liverpool sent a delegation to Argentina - where Colombia play on Tuesday - to conduct a medical so the move could be completed before the January transfer window closed.

He will wear the No23 shirt… Jeez I hope he scores more than Carra did.

Looks like a superb signing. Think it could be very useful that we got him now rather than the waiting til summer.

He can play in the CL too.

Is he the first Colombian player we've had? I can't think of another.

God was certainly making donations to the GDP for a while - not sure if that counts as he was born in Toxteth

Says Diaz was our first choice summer target.
Obviously that comes out of that kitty.
Probably unlikely really when you think about it but if Bellingham was our only summer signing I'd bite a hand off for it.

We do have a Colombian player out on loan 21 year old right back must admit I hadn’t heard of him till a few days back !

After Salah's renewal, Beliingham has to be top of the wanted list now for summer.
I'd also take Isak (being linked with Arsenal) / or Bowen, while shipping out Mane, Thiago, Keita, Minamino and Origi
