It would be a lot different here for Can. Way less counter pressing which he cannot do (This is why Liverpool fans see bad matches from him). Our 4-3-3 is usually a lot more compact so he has to do way less running in space.

I would not want to play as #8 under Klopp.

Most players brought in from outside Serie A and Italy will have to be overpaid. That is just reality. If you want to keep squad wages in order, then you can only sign Italian players or unknowns among small Serie A teams. Bonaventura would make less than Can. :tuttosport:

He's most likely replacing Khedira and makes 1M more I think. Is he worth 1M more than Khedira, probably.

Rejected meeting and photo with Erdogan unlike Ozil and Gundogan. :tuttosport:

I agree for existing players. But for a free signing, if the alternative is to not sign the player, then just give him the clause...

So someone could give us 60M for a player we signed on a free? Not the worst thing in the world.

I'm convinced this guy will look better away from Liverpool. I don't think he has the quickness to hold up under Klopp's tactics where the CMs are chasing attackers in open areas. It must be so difficult for him. In a more traditional defensive identity, I think he becomes a wall and most of...

Ya I know what you meant. I was just pointing out to the noobs that they are drastically different. Even if they were born twins in appearance it would take 30 seconds of watching them play to see the difference. - - - Updated - - - I think initially he will be seen as a starter. I agree he...

Sure looks like Khedira right.. https://streamable.com/pgzor

Most obvious strength is his size and physicality. He doesn't have too much acceleration but at top speed he can break the lines. So it's a pretty formidable combination of size, strength and some speed. He has good close dribbling so he can actually run with the ball most of the time. But...

Well initially he will probably start but there's no guarantee that he is owed something in year 2 or year 3. If he eventually moves to the bench and doesn't like it... well we'll just sell him and take the 30-40M or whatever. That's fine. Also, there are possibilities of big wage earners like...

Scores from half volleys outside the box all the time. Just like Khedira right.

Sometimes he does non-sensical things like press at bad times. But at least part of that is Klopp's tactics to press and if you are Can's speed and get it wrong, you will look really bad.

I can't imagine Khedira staying with us next year. There are German clubs and MLS waiting for him.

There is no perfect deal. It's a reasonable gamble and that's all you can ask for. 23 year old with talent. Yes, he has talent. For free. It's worth the slight risk of the wages. The risk of the wages is largely offset by his next transfer fee which will easily be over 20M. We got like 20M for...

Liverpool players changing positions so often :tuttosport:

189 cm.

Wow Khedira is 6'2 ain't he? I thought they both looked about 6'1".

He is like Khedira if Khedira could shoot from distance, score bicycle kicks, dribble multiple players, throw multiple harsh slide tackles, win more than half his aerial challenges, combine in 1 touch play and send through balls with both feet. Other than that, yes, they are the same height...
