Hey guys, Liverpool fan here. I've gone to all liverpools home games (I've lived my whole life in Liverpool) since I was 10, so about 20 years. The Italian team I've always had a soft spot for it Juventus, and my Spanish is Barcelona
Now, the reason for my being here is to give you guys my two cents on this guy you're linked with as I've watched every minute of every game he has ever played for us. I'll also explain a misconception some of you guys are making about him.
First of all, he is not a starter for us. Far from it. I hate it when he plays. We play a 4-3-3. Can is obviously in the midfield 3. In those three midfield spots our best unquestionably is Coutinho, Lallana and wijnaldum. Closely followed by Henderson. We also might be signing Naby Kieta so he might be falling even further behind into 6th best cm. I don't want him near the team.
Last season he played a lot. That is NOT due to our preference. It was simply injuries that we suffered a lot from. We had injuries a lot in our midfield 3 and attacking 3 that often means Coutinho and Lallana would have to move into the front 3, which left their spots open in the middle 3 for Can to come into. This is the only reason he played so many games.
Last season our best mid and front 6 would have been Coutinho, Mane, Firminho, Henderson Lallana Wijnaldum. When can played, one of those 6 wasn't which was a missive disappointment.
All in all, I'd hope you's don't get him because he isn't good enough to be first choice for Liverpool, and not good enough to be first choice for Juventus. If we get £31m for him which is rumoured I would be absolutely delighted. Don't get me wrong, he's not awful. He has his good games like everyone. He just isn't fantastic which is what our two clubs aim for.
I hope this helps.
