Such honorable Liverpool.The deal with Real Madrid is said to be all but done, so what can Liverpool take from the #Mbappé2020 campaign that never was? Firstly, there was clearly no attempt to hoodwink supporters into believing it was a genuine possibility. Some of our closest rivals have played such cards down the years in order to boost season ticket revenue and drum up a false sense of status at the club. If anything, Liverpool have looked to play the rumours down.
Sure, it's a choice not to go for a mental prospect in Mbappé - and totally not Mbappé's choice, or one made because of his transfer price or anything. No no.It remains bewildering that at the age of 21, the player is already beyond Liverpool's reach in terms of status. Yet it shouldn't be forgotten that this is a matter of choice. That for Mbappé to join Liverpool he would have to be leaving AS Monaco as a relatively untested and manageable asset. If he walked into Melwood now he would change the whole structure of finance and status at Liverpool, two things which have become secondary to forming a collective mindset.
"The fact is that..." - The global definition of = "This isn't actually a fact, but something I believe, and therefore will claim to be a concrete fact.The fact is that Klopp and Liverpool simply aren't in the business of buying global phenomenons, but making them. That can be said of the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker. Despite what was written when they joined the club, these players were far from the finished article and were nowhere near the level of player they are now.
Okay, so All of the 18 goals and 7 assists in 20 league games from Mbappé this season, 5+5 G+A in 7 Champions League games, 13 goals in 34 games for France as a 21 year old, are being replicated by a 21-year old Right Back with 29 League games, 12 assists, 2 goals this season. 9 games for England, 1 goal?But the most prolific superstar in the making is one who was born in the very city the club lives. All of the things Mbappé brings both on and off the pitch is being replicated by Trent Alexander-Arnold. He is a marketing and sporting heavyweight in every sense. For that reason alone, Liverpool have everything they need. Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid is therefore a fight they no longer need to be a part of.
I think it was @krengon who called this, they're really pushing this agenda
He's absolutely spot on. The poorest crop of strikers I've seen for a long time. Not just in the PL btw.
Van Dijk usually gets bullied by Giroud every time they meet, image him vs some of the great PL strikers of the past.
In all my years following football I have never seen this covered, other than small mentions.NEVER forget.
People are gonna gather regardless. Rules are softening world-wide and so are people's tendencies to follow the ones still in place. Especially with a major event like winning a title after 30 years.
Pretty sure big crowds won't be able to gather like this until 2021, so are they going to have a parade in the middle of next season...?
