Story so far of new season.....
Right, well it's all very interesting, Alonso has settled back in and looks like he never left, taken the number 21 shirt and it's a bit like when Rush re-joined us after the one season at Juventus, a player that belongs to us and to get him on a 'free' back to us is amazing. Scoring freely and keeping the established players out of the first XI. There is an argument to say though, I wish he'd not left us (or I'd NOT sold him to be more precise) missed the 3 years between, given he came through the ranks at 17, was with us for 4 years, left and is now 25.
Transfer deadline day madness
Having sold Lafont to Southampton (they like our players !), it's reality in reverse it seems. Needed a back up keeper and have had my eye on West Ham's number 1 for 2/3 seasons and went in and got him, Nizzetto, Italian GK and rated at 88, very strong player and had to spend £75m to get him. Will play in the FA Cup and League Cup matches and a few PL games.
Caniero Leal - OMG, club record smashed with a £120m purchase of a player been tracking since he was 18 and seen developing, now rated at 90, and 22, was the time, LW player who is massive but quick, think a very speedy Emille Heskey. Scored a hat-trick on his debut against Manchester United in a 13-0 win and followed that up with ECL goal and two assists. Dear lawd, he's good. Will push Sane for a starting position for sure, Sane already upset at not being selected.
Golovin - Making a great start to his Liverpool career, has scored regularly off the bench, a hat-trick in his last game against Anderlecht in the CL and can play behind front two or on left of midfield or attack and very impressed with him.
Marco Asensio - Running the show thus far, with goals & assists, he is SO good, his balance & grace in and around the box is just unreal. He can be our central creative hub for the next 2-3 years. With Christian Pulisic & Barco either side of him and Dani Ceballos behind those three with the addition of Leal & Alonso / Soto to finish off chances with Jesus/Rashford as well, we are going to be scoring mass amount of goals this season.
