You really seem to be back to your old chirpy self, great content.
Maybe not as popular as the rest, but I do believe Varela is what we need. Liverpool tend to scout and admire players who shine in teams that do well under the radar(Mane in Southampton, Diaz from Porto), similar to what Porto did in CL, but Zubimendi would be good too, he just doesn’t seem to have that extra bit of tenacity we might need if Macca plays a bit advanced in opposition half/third.
After seeing most of these guys play i think Varela is the stand out player imho, oddly has nothing to do with his defending (he can be a little rash) the reason i think Varela is the guy is down to how he plays out from the back, is very press resistant and rarly misses a pass. I think he is idea for a team that wants to play possesion football and build from the back. Don't forget he has played with MacAlister for his national team.
We should have gone for Varela when he was cheap. He does look perfect for us.
Whoever the club bring in, the club must keep Endo as a squad player. He was very good last season and contributed. Arsenal have Rice and Partey, City have Rodri and Kovecic, Chelsea have Caicedo and Lavia. We need to have that option on the bench as the new no. 6 can't play all the games, he could take time to adapt so it would be great if the club kept Endo as a pure destroyer for those tricky games when defending a 1 goal lead.
My Money is on Alan Varela! Press resistant, very good at playing out from the back, passes long, med, short range all in the high 90% percentile and is agressive defencivly. O and he knows MacAlister and has played with him in National team.
yea, i really hope we get him cause he bridges the gap between someone young who still needs to grow like bajectic and someone who is still effective but will need replacing soon like endo
Better partner for MACALLISTER
No! He's tiny. Hard pass.
@@DavidHall-Chef-Recruitment as tiny as Mascherano?
@@DavidHall-Chef-RecruitmentArgentinians are tough as old boots, no worries there
I loved Ugarte when he was at Sporting CP, absolute machine. Would give you 90mins non-stop!
The transition from "wait till the end of the video, then decide to sub" to "yeah, we stream here, subscribe now." Slot Ball's got your urgency up and I'm all here for it 😂
Absolutely enjoying the constant content Laurence! UTFR 🔴🔴
Last season, Endo was the only one who was able to adapt to the role of DM, and it was difficult for Macca, Jones, and Szoboszlai to do the role, so it doesn't make sense to change the evaluation based on a mistake in just one preseason game.
Endo is good but the hunt for a DM is not abt Endo making mistake in one pre season, it's abt being able to play Slot system which requires a technical, dynamic player or playmaker number 6 good in possession, control the tempo, composure, press resistant, progressive passes that would find players in between the lines and Endo can't really offer most of those attributes, he's a good destroyer DM, not a technical/controller DM and Slot system want the later, that's the difference
@@Chisky001 LFC must really invest if they want such a player.
@@TraderKentaro exactly
Finally not you just talking to us but actually showing pictures and stuff
Endo is perfectly suited 4 the no6 role. Gutted, he's getting looked ova. We need two good wingers!! Not a no6, which we have players already able 2 play there!!
I think Varela works perfectly and zubamendi if he can put the tackles in that Fabinho (the legend) missed the season prior to last
Varela leaking his own transfer. Classic 😂
Always appreciate your player profile breakdowns. Helps evaluate players I’m not familiar with #LFC
Varela and Ederson are good calls, think suit what Slot wants in a pivot. Keep an eye on Stiller and Martel though.
Stiller would be a great shout, look him up. He has got everything and more to be really successful at Liverpool
Ben Stiller 🤣🤣🤣
Yes he's amazing
Love the idea of youssouf fofana coming in- bad boy player!
Ederson of Atalanta but I'd keep Endo until he decides to leave.
Thanks for the insights on the SIX.
Endo doesn’t have an issue passing and always looks forward, unlike lots of dms, and he is far better offensively than what we’ve seen Liverpool, so far. One thing he will never have is recovery pace, which in certain games will be important.
He will be a valuable asset over the season.
If he has time and space. He struggles under pressure tho and Slot seems to rely heavily on that double pivot to progress the ball in tight spaces
Palacious of Leverkusen and Stiller of Stuttgart ❤❤❤
Ederson would be my realistic pick BUT imagine swooping in for Frenkie who works perfectly on the right-hand side of a double pivot, soo good at receiving the ball on the turn, the Dutch connection with Slot + we can use Diaz as part of the agreement, which then opens up a deal for Gordon 😍
Not a bad idea
Oh my lord that would be beautiful wouldnt it
Frenkie has astronomic wages but he is clearly the best player for the system
De Jong is a good idea, if we didn't have Trent.
I'd buy him just to make utd fan cry even more but apparently he's on crazy money (£550k a week) so it's never gonna happen (rightly so).
I had always hoped that Liverpool would bring in Andre Trindade from Brazil but I get that they are looking for someone in a European League.
It's never gunna be Ugarte... he's not a ball playing 6
Gotta remember that the only time you're going to have a 6 with a very dense heatmap is because their side dominates the ball. Not necessarily a downside. Also, height is more than just aerial ability - their limbs are longer making them more easy to pressure/win the ball vs shorter players.
Regarding Kimmich, if you compare his defensive numbers to Trent over the past 4-5 seasons, you'll be shocked given the narratives about Trent.
I want to see Alan from IT starting at six for Liverpool.
Alan can be the tea lady
A lot of people seem to be in love with Zubimendi but I’d take Ederson over him any day. Ederson is electric & dominated our midfield & Leverkusen’s as well.
This is exactly what I was thinking because I always wanted Ederson ever since I saw his stats
Gakpo needs to play on the left wing !!!!
and he will be. he for sure won't be the preferred #9 under slot over Nunez. and Elliott will also not be a RW or backup to Salah under Slot.
“He’s got the beard” 😂
Agree with all your top picks. Ugarte or Varela would be ideal for me.
Hjulmand is definitely the sleeper pick. Liga Portugal and Scandinavian. Both translate very well for Liverpool and the premier league in general and he was seriously impressive last season.
Funny feeling about Neves tho. Been linked with him since he was 17 so he's the type of transfer that makes sense for us.
Wildcard pick - just how financially fudged are Barcelona and would Frenkie take that big a paycut 😍
Or........cheaper to buy a top right back and move Trent to a double pivot full time
For me I have said to friends that if we kept our squad (got contracts renewed and such) that if we only got Ederson this summer would be a success for us. I hate on FSG as much as the next guy but we really picked up what turned out to be some of the best signings in the PL last summer and Ederson completes that. Also I say we keep Endo....we play a lot of matches and go deep in all tournaments so he will get his minutes.
Hendo 😅
Not laughing at the reference, just a light-hearted chuckle. Loved Hendo. Disappointed with how it ended, but never doubted his drive and determination.
Emerson seems like the most interesting option (if not most obvious for sure) but I would certainly be happy with Kimmich if that was feasible. That said, I'm probably more interested in which massive LEGO sets you have behind you! ;-)
Hope we get someone f**king brilliant.....YNWA! 🥰
I guess I am stuck in the past because my other one was Manu Kone. Both these guys were prospects last year.
I so hope its André trindad, he is amazing. Yes hes not in europe yet, but I think he‘ll easily adjust and become one of the best 6 in the league
Would love Hjulmand. Such a great player and great character, Captain at Lecce at 22 and now captain at Sporting after a season (also why i don’t think he’ll be leaving this summer)
If liverpool gets a new one, I would say they would choose Bastoni, probably. we will see. 😂
He's a centre back
@@inquisitorsneed2😂
@@inquisitorsneed2Thank you.
@@Gtt333 don't get me wrong I'd absolutely love him as a van dijk replacement
@@inquisitorsneed2 He will come!!!
My pick would be zubimendi .. stellar player😊
Thanks to Curtis and Elton, Alan has been a tortoise's name since about 1988.
Im a Porto fan and no idea how I stumbled upon this vid, but let me just ask for you to let us keep Varela for another year please. He's great and the anchor of our team, not surprised Liverpool is interested. He won't be as cheap as Luis Diaz though 😂
Love the vid, I always enjoy your transfer videos. I don’t think Varela and Ugarte as they profile similar to Endo, that ball wining/destroyer in midfield. I think Éderson or Andre profile similar to what Arne is looking for.
Love the new look bruz, you forgot Joe Allen :)
Magassa actually fits the profile statistically more than everybody here
Just hoping for ederson at this point, yet another great insight Laurence ❤. Edit: wouldn’t say no to trey nyoni getting minutes though or even gravenberch playing in the 6 role of worst comes to worse and we don’t sign anyone
I think that ship sailed with Klopp........ Ederson is a decent ball playing No6 but the fact Brazil wanted a ball playing No6 and went with Gomez from Wolves should set off alarm bells...... IMHO Varela is the man!! he does all the ball playing stuff Ederson does but he's a master at being available during the play out from the back, he is press resistant and has a high 90 persentile pass completion so is made for a high possesion team. Plus he will be sensible money and has played a fair bit with MacAlister already.
The perfect player would be Palacios and he would win us the league. Shame we aren't looking for that calibre of player.
😂😂 4.17 - 4.33
Yes I did watch, the guy who was on made the concluding statement. Liverpool do not need to sign a 6.
You think ANYONE but the LFC staff have ANY idea what's going on????
Alan Varela is the best option for me
"New 6" - gives him number 3 on shirt. 😭
Are u slow?
@@hyphen5997🤣🤣
Someone who no one is really talking about is Samuele Ricci from Torino, being targeted by RDZ because of his double pivot system and you can see why. An excellent passer who goes and wins the ball back with passion. I can see him and Trent easily just pinging balls all over the place.
Id rather we give Bajetic game time if we can't get someone like Ederson or Zubimendi
I cant imagine the shit talk that would happen if Hendo came back hahahaha. I love him and I think he is one of the most disrespected and underrated Liverpool player
With all due respect,Hendo doesn't have the legs and im a Liverpool fan. He doesn't suit arne style
@@raymondjohnregalado3361 I do not agree with style cuz he showed many times that he can come into offencive buildup as well as sit back and be the responsible one. At the same time I believe that even in his last season he was more of a leader than a first team player. His impact on the squad by leadership was huge for me
I wouldn't be mad if he came on as sub once in a while
We lookin for someone who also forward thinking. Problem with endo is that he can't constantly play balls that break lines, doesn't have the vision
@@Pawlo_83 yeah maybe but would it be more wonderful if we get a younger, hungrier, more skillful and suits Arne's style of play. Because getting Hendo back I think is a step backwards
Henderson coming back would be the equivalent of rdj coming back as doom lmao
So glad you cut your hair bro, looks much better imo 👍
If you hear rumors about a player linked with Liverpool, they’re not getting him. They make transfers happen without anyone knowing
Yeah. With Liverpool, especially with Edwards, you hear about a link at 8am player is signed at 10am...Anything else, not happening...
@@Heioshi our transfer news have always been super concrete when we sign the player in the end. We never even heard about liverpool wanting szobszlai until the news came out that they agreed a deal.
What you said about getting away from "hey these players are Klopp players and they play in this position" is something I've been saying since Slot signed! We need to stop assuming we know players positions, and that they're first choice. That stands for transfers, too! Fan channels constantly assume, and I quote, "Know exactly what we need because it's obvious, so why aren't we signing them?" Yet you actually don't know. You know what Klopp's team needed because we were so used to the system.
We all need to just let Slot build his team carefully and figure out who he needs and where, before yapping on that we aren't making signings..
Some players who we see as 2nd choice could easily be Slot's first choice! We have no way of knowing yet.
Henderson…bruh 💀
Stiller ? I think he would be great with excellent passing and tackles
Surprised you didn't feature Angelo Stiller.
We need a busquets type player and that's a rare one. there is a possibility that our midfield 3 would be sobslai, macca and curtis. yes that's right no natural CDM for a whole season.
None of the three can be called number 6. They play further forward.
Ederson all day, I have a €10 on it since June😁
Had varela on my fifa career mode with liverpool on fifa 22 😂
I can’t find the lives. I would like to watch back when I can’t catch it live
Manu Kone cheap and had similar stats to Bellingham can play in double pivot aggressive takle
He’s clumsy
Has had lots of injuries the last 2 years. Also, not a 6, Zubimendi & Varela are the only only 6s in the video. Scalvini is injured.
Edersons heat map and numbers need to be looked at with caution. Atalanta played man marking throughout the season and that skews his heat map but also his defensive stats. Nonetheless an amazing players.
You mentioned scalvini when he tore his ACL. Better off seeing how he comes back from that..
Yeah, it was just someone that we mentioned on the livestream tbh but correct!
@@LaurenceMcKennaonLFC great shout though, looks very promising
Top content top lad
Valera is my favorite 6
Tchouameni and Anguissa would be sensible
The first one is hugely unrealistic. Lol
Stiller for me
Is he a great guy McK.... I'll have to take your word💯
Whatever it is, please don’t get players who’re suspected of having injury issues. We have enough experience with players who are injured for months. Endo at least is always available.
Loving your videos and live stream yesterday. What software do you use for the map?
I don’t think it’s Ugarte even though he would be the easiest available if LFC drops the cash given PSG signed Neves. Doubt it’s Ederson either as Atalanta are notoriously tough negotiators, but I would love to see him come through. Don’t think Sociedad will sell Zubamendi so late in the season as well, and he profiles closer to Macca in my view. Therefore, my money is on David Ornstein 2.0!!!
bottom right is out of the running of course, not Edwards signings. We know it is *not* a PL player. Ugarte makes too much money for us. So Varela/Ederson/Zubimendi would be the front-runners.
Idk, maybe my thinking is wrong but I just trust bajcetic to develop to the player we know he can be. I feel like yes, Endo can be improved, but if that's the case, I'd rather see someone in their prime rn, 27-30 where they can immediately slot in and have bajcetic learning from them. Someone like ederson, varela and ugarte just feels like they will hamper bajcetic's development
Which is why neves just seems like the perfect target for me. He's not gonna be that expensive since he's at saudi and if he wants to leave, I don't see them trying to block or obstruct the transfer
Ornstein the Oracle know’s fck all
Better than Fabrizio for sure
Edermendella is the one ha.
Kimmich is on 350k a week, so no chance of us paying him that.
Ugarte has been a disappointment to PSG - he is very 1 dimensional (great defensively, but non-existent as an attacking/creative force). PSG want 60m which is crazy as that is what they paid for him when he was hot; even Man U have baulked at the asking price so I can't see Liverpool going for him.
Zubimendi - in my top 3 for certain. Would bring calm and excellent control and passing technique to our build up play from the back. They'll be looking for maybe 50m Euro for him I reckon (maybe more).
Alan Varela - in my top 3. Has that S. American mix of toughness, technique and footballing intelligence, and would be brilliant alongside Mac. He is a little small though (only 1.77m - 5'8") so alongside Mac I do wonder if teams might try and dominate them in the air. Seems very good value (Transfermarket has him at 35m Euro which would be great value as he's still only 23).
Ederson - The final one of my top 3 (I'd probably have him as my 2nd choice after Varela). A bit of everything, so really more of an 8, but he can do the lot and seems to have a great attitude as well as good technique. I think they were looking for 40m for him ....
The only one of the outliers that Laurence profiled, would for me be Fofana. I thought we should have gone for him in May, when he was on a 25m Euro Relaese Clause. He has good technique but for me it's his power that sets him apart - he is built like a pocket battleship, and would give us something there that we have not had for years in the midfield. He is a regular in the French side and keeping out players like Tchouahmeni, Camavinga, Rabiot and Veretout - he is a bloody good player. The only reason I have not got him in my top 3 is I think Juve are already well advanced in talks to get him, but if we can nick him (about 30m Euro I think) then we should.
BTW Laurence - Scalvini and Magassa are both CBs - both interesting but not as MFs.
I want a 6 too. Mark for what it's worth thinks Agathe? is a 45 mill player. Another point is that Psg bought him for 60 last year and they are quite arrogant if they expect too brake even on a player they want to dump
All we do is target.
I would love us to sign Zubimendi
Tbh I need to look more into the market I don’t think any of those would be a good fit one that comes to mind but it’s unlikely would be Jefferson lerma he was brilliant against us last year at anfield an he was brilliant in the Copa America jsut a shout but need to have a better look
Jones played 6 against United.
As someone who is interested in video making. What software did you make the map on?
Fsg Economics dictates the cheapest... therefore expect Varela or Ederson.
It’s not just the money. You bring in a guy with a big price tag and he expects to play. You gonna leapfrog Jones, Gravenberch, and Endo in one go? The 6/8 distinction is a false one. They are all just CMs.
Morten Frendrup and Morten Hjulmand are both players that would force Endo and Jones to step up their game. I want to see 4 + professionals in a spot competing to play alongside MacAllister.
My understanding is we're in portugal looking at a signing 👀
Where did you hear that?
hjulmand?
Or varela
Bajcetic and Endo are good enough.
I don’t for one second think this player is a realistic option at the moment, but Tchouameni would be the absolute dream. Very unfortunate that we missed out on him a couple of summers ago.
Kimmich is by some distance the best player on this list in my opinion, but at 29 I’m unsure if he fits the mould of LFCs transfer philosophy moving forwards.
Varela or Ederson appear to stylistically be the most compatible whilst meeting age/fee/wage requirements, but are they too similar to what we have in Baj & Grav? I think it will end up being one of those two & we will see Endo & Morton moved on.
I don’t really know much about Zubamendi but for RSA to sell their midfield duo in one summer would be surprising unless we’re willing to put forward a significant offer.
You didnt miss out on tchou he simply wanted madrid
@@junioradult6219 Yes, we missed out on him; He chose Madrid instead of Liverpool. We tried to get him & we didn’t = We missed out on him.
Warton is good but we do have stefan and morton
Scalvini is a CB haha and also is out injured for ages
Varela or Ederson would be my choice.
No thank you, don't want Henderson back, not a chance.
Bro the double pivot is not going to be his style it's probably going to be a 4141 situation it only looks double pivot because of the defensive transition.
Always liked Fabian Ruiz. Would be happy with him.
Wasn't a starter for PSG last year and one of the players is the Euros. Crazy that no one is sniffing around him
Ugarte would at least be funny to troll ManU fans.
As we have the perfectly good Endo, Gravenberch and McAllster, the upcoming Bajetic who can all play there; why not go direct to Sth America and target someone instead of waiting for them to spend one year in Europe and then pay triple?
is it possible to archive the streams loz, would like to watch the ones i've missed
Maybe i'll be proven wrong, but i think people completely misunderstand what a Slot '6' could be. Everyone seems to think of a box to box with high defensive output. To me it seems Slot really want control and technical ability to play under pressure and in small spaces, possibly progressive passing to get out of the press quite quickly.
I think people might be surprised with TAA, he's not "his" player, i think he'll have no qualms about putting him on the bench if he still isn't that concerned by his defensive task, after all his career is on the line, Klopp had the luxury of being a legend the fans would have most likely ask for the heads of the owners if he was fired, the same wouldn't happen with Slot.
I dont think ugarte can pass well enough in slots system
Would annoy me if we got Alan varela now, we could have got him so much cheaper at boca juniors last year when we were linked with him
Its gonna be Andre Trindade isn't it?
Ederson & Kimmich would be bargains more especially Kimmich Cause God Forbid if Trent leaves we would use him at right back and sometimes in the six position that is just my opinion though but those are the two i am rooting for
