Look at son's youtube clips at leverkuesen. He looks good. Real good.
Then look at Lamela's youtube clips at Roma. He looked good. Real good.
Point is, i do believe Son is good, but dont get an erection just by looking at video clips. Lamela is living proof

I don't think we've finished with our signings yet though personally. I reckon Lamela will be off to Inter and we'll still sign Berahino.
I don't think Eriksen's injury is long term and thus won't factor in to any major transfer decisions.

Thanks very much
Next stupid question. Is he physically ready for the premiership or is he lightweight?

Well we'll find out soon enough now. Either way I hope it puts an end to the tiresome lamela debates/insults/defence circle
If he goes good luck. If he stays support him instead of abusing him

I don't think Lamela has been abused very much has he? I'm talking about at the games, where it matters.
Adebayor is the one who gets abused.

This is a scouting report form a Liverpool site.
http://www.thisisanfield.com/2015/0...-interest-bayer-leverkusen-midfielder-summer/
Of course, this could all be pure agent talk, but Son is speculated to be available for £15 million.
So why should Liverpool be targeting the fleet-footed Leverkusen star this summer?
Strengths
Son has been with Leverkusen for just two seasons so far, after joining the Bundesliga challengers in a £7 million deal in 2013, after a five-year progression through the ranks at Hamburger SV.
What drew Leverkusen to Son was his immense potential, and this has been honed dramatically since his switch.
This season, for example, the 22-year-old has so far scored 11 goals and made two assists in 27 league games—considering this has come largely from a left-wing position Son represents a highly accomplished goal-scoring midfielder, with more goals than any Liverpool player this season.
He is a phenomenally crafty, slight forward, capable of performing in variety of roles from out wide to behind the striker to centre-forward. His intelligence lends to this versatility.
There is an immense elegance to Son’s play, with his first touch and movement on and off the ball evoking an even more nimble Adam Lallanabut, married with this Lallana-like finesse, Son also performs with a surprising, pacey intensity—he covers the ground quickly for a player so gracefully thorough.
With an average of 1.4 key passes per Bundesliga game this season, Son would be the fifth-most prolific creator of chances in the current Liverpool squad.
Furthermore, with an average of 1.7 successful dribbles per league game, Son would the fourth-best player at taking the ball past his man in Rodgers’ current roster.
An unquantifiable quality that will no doubt endear Son to Rodgers the most is his never-say-die work ethic. He will rarely give up on a seemingly lost cause, which particularly aids him when deployed in a centre-forward’s role, as he was for South Korea during the 2014 World Cup.
Son is an enjoyably slick, surprisingly clinical, versatile forward option.
But where could it go wrong for Rodgers in lining up a potential deal for the Leverkusen man?
Weaknesses

When considering weaknesses for any potential deal to bring Son to Liverpool this summer, they largely preside on the Merseyside end of the discussion.
Firstly, with Leverkusen likely to qualify once again for the Champions League through their Bundesliga efforts this season—with Roger Schmidt’s side currently sitting fourth in the table with three games to go—to convince Son to join the Reds, who are unlikely to finish in the Premier League’s top four this season, seems like a tall order.
This is a problem Rodgers discussed last month:
“Liverpool is a phenomenal club that players want to play for, but, of course, players want to play at the top level of the game and if you are not in the Champions League it makes it difficult for you. We know that, but we just have to continue to fight in order to be a stable club in there – and we will continue to do that.”
What Rodgers would need to rely on, rather than the immediate prestige of top-tier European qualification, is his ability to sell Liverpool’s long-term project to Son, likely with him as a central figure.
His ability warrants this, of course, but it would still be a difficult sell.
Furthermore, as revealed by Dave Phillips via Twitter, the South Korean’s patriotic commitments may hamper any deal for the Reds:
“Heung-min possibly a no-go for #lfc – hasn’t done his mandatory 2 year military service.
“That military service would become compulsory c.2020, making any deal of v. limited future resale value without him receiving an exemption.
“Heung-min would need to e.g. win a medal at a major tournament (such as next year’s Olympics) to receive such an exemption. Big risk.”
If Son was required to enlist in 2020, this would mean that Liverpool would potentially only have access to his talents for four seasons — the risks beyond this would be that any resale value of an inactive Son would plummet.
Son’s potential success in the upcoming Olympic Games with South Korea, as Phillips outlines, could negate this, but it is a big risk for Liverpool.
They must weigh up whether a four-year spell at Liverpool for Son would be worthwhile, so where would he fit into Rodgers’ squad?

Owing to his typical tactical positioning for Leverkusen, it could be expected to see Son lining up as an attacking midfielder for Rodgers at Liverpool. He could a join fluid, interchanging advanced-midfield line withPhilippe Coutinho, Jordon Ibe and Raheem Sterling.
Son would make an immeasurably better option in this role than fellowreported summer target, Denis Cheryshev.
But perhaps more interestingly is Son’s suitability to a centre-forward’s role.
He is slight, but hard-working and fast, with intelligent movement and a great finish—in theory, he would suit a role up front under Rodgers.
His goal rate of one every 2.5 games in the Bundesliga this season is nothing to be sniffed at when considering these mainly came from a left-wing position.
Convert him into a centre-forward, and Rodgers could see Son thrive even further.
Wherever he fits into Rodgers’ vision of Liverpool next season however, and so long as the manager and owners Fenway Sports Group weigh up the potential risks of any deal, Leverkusen’s Son should represent an excellent addition to the squad, with serious potential to develop further.

Have a quick glance at the several lamela threads or the match day threads and you'll see plenty of venom directed at the player

so in other words, one of the better players we will be able to sign. Chadli was a pretty good find and this guy is better.

I mean at WHL. What does it matter if people criticise players on here? Doesn't do any harm really unless it's particularly unpleasant, which imo it rarely is with Lamela. But that's from what I've seen anyway, maybe I've missed the really nasty stuff.
I think Son will be a fan favourite in any event. He'll work his bollocks off and won't lose the ball very much.

Impossible to say till I see him in this league really. And how he adapts to our glacier brand of football.
Hope we're all praising the son in a few months

Hence why I said the league and not the Europa league .
Can't judge a player on one or 2 games in Europe or a foreign league and certainly not YouTube clips

Happy with this signing, he's hacked it to a very good standard in German League so see no reason for him to struggle for us.
Versatile two footed winger who can also cover up top.
With him and N'Jie, plus Eirksen, Chadli and Prithcard we have some nice options for attack now.
Chuck into that possibly Townsend who if played on left reckon would be a good player for us. Sadly Poch will probably continue to abuse him on right.
No problem personally selling Lamela now as not really needed. He's had plenty of chances now and just doesn't do what he's supposed to do; look dangerous in attack and cause opponents problems.
Now we really need a defensive midfielder bad and to a lesser extent a centre forward (I think we really need both to be honest but defensive midfield more so as area games are won and lost).
If we can't get Berahino then fuck it try and get Austin as at least gives us an option!
