Luis Diaz signs for Liverpool

[slartibartfast]

Liverpool have had dozens of 'irreplaceable' players down the years and did just fine.
So have we come to that Modric was irreplaceable, He was replaced.
Bale was irreplaceable. He was replaced.
Yeah we've fked up in recent windows but you get the point.

Look at how this guy claps. Bullet. Dodged.

We still haven't replaced him, to be fair.

Am I missing something with this guy? 112 pages in and he signed for Liverpool on page 40.

Luis Diaz's father says Tottenham's "hesitation" saw them lose out to Liverpool on the chance to sign his son in the January transfer window.
Spurs were believed to be favourites to complete the capture of the 25-year-old, but saw the Reds steal a march on them to seal a £37.5 million deal.

Diaz went straight into to the squad for Liverpool's FA Cup tie with Cardiff City on Sunday, and was impressive in his 32-minute debut cameo.

Talking to Colombian outlet Blu Radio, Diaz's father, Luis Manuel Diaz, said: "Tottenham was one [interested team].
"Roma were also left behind in the process.

"THEY HESITATED A LOT AND LET THEMSELVES BE CAUGHT BY LIVERPOOL.

"Liverpool were faster than them, they needed him and they took him away.
"There were many suitors who wanted Luis’ services, but he had the dream of reaching Liverpool because Liverpool are an elite team.

"After the first game, he told me that they are a team that works hard, complete, in which he will feel comfortable and will have the chance to play with high-performance players."
Diaz's father also revealed his son's surprise at being thrust into action immediately by Jurgen Klopp.
"Luis was shocked by that," he said.
"He thought it wasn’t like that, that it would be different and that it would take a long time to enter a match due to the adaptation process.
"He's been welcomed with open arms, especially by the staff and the management. They've been very kind to him. They know they are getting a player that can give them a lot."
Liverpool host Leicester City on Thursday night at Anfield as they seek to close a nine-point gap to Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

Doesn't shock me to hear that we hesitated, although it may have been for a good reason I don't know...

Would be interesting to know at what point we showed hesitation because it does sound like we went in strong at the end of the window -when we put the bid in.

I wonder if we showed early interest but kept dropping off, whereas Liverpool were always involved?

Still not our player. ?

Luiz Diaz looks like an absolute player tonight for Liverpool. Reminds me of coutiniho

Bollocks - the moment Liverpool flashed their knickers he was off like a shot (not unsurprisingly).......it wouldn't surprise me if he'd rung Liverpool up himself the moment we puit a bid in.

I am not sure what his dad would have to gain by telling us we hesitated and looking back at our dealings we certainly do dither at times.

Not to say he wouldn't have ended up there anyway but i can imagine we hesitated.

Reads to me as though his dad just has an issue with the fact that we may have weighed up other options (future plans) rather than buy his boy as soon as we started any conversation.

Just another angle for some weirdo reporter to take a stab at the club. And they know that there's going to be people who actually give it credence & react to it.
