You know, the more I'm reading some of these pages over recent days makes me really, really want us to sign Sanches. I'd support him to the hilt and I'd be made up when he smashed it in a red shirt and proves all the negative naysayers wrong.

I'll love it.

Love it.

I’m amazed at the amount of fans on here who watch Lille week in week out and know how crap he is. I understand he was awful at Bayern’s and Swansea but time has passed since and he’s only 23, I’m not claiming that he’s brilliant and has been amazing for Lille as I don’t watch French football but in the couple of games he played in the Euros I thought he looked quality and I’d be quite optimistic if he signed.
That said I had been told some time ago by a friend of someone who works for the club that Sanches was a target but he was asking for too much money.

All entitled to their own opinions! Love him or hate him it’s their choice.

So one of you really want the club to sign Sanches because an overwhelming percentage of posters don’t? And the other wants him signed because he played well in an international football tournament ( remember Phil Babb) even though he has been a poor player for 2 of his previous clubs?
I’m old enough to remember when Liverpool fans were lauded for their football knowledge. 😳.

I don't have an opinion that sways in any particular direction on him as a player. He looks alright for Portugal but you can't judge a player on international football alone.

My issue is with his fitness record. He's had 16 separate injuries in 4 years, averaging about 30 days injured at a time, missing 59 games in total. In fact he's literally just missed the French equivalent of the Community Shield last week with a thigh injury. Last season he only started 14/ 38 league games for Lille.

If Klopp and our scouts want him i have no doubt he must be a talented young midfielder. There are very serious and very fair concerns about his ability to stay fit though. I don't know if it's down to poor diet, lack of professionalism, poor physiotherapy or simply bad luck? Let's just hope he can kick on at Liverpool and leave his injuries in the past, if he signs.

I’m split on this one, his record isn’t great but if Klopp and the scouts have picked him there must be potential in there for them to Be willing to spend.

Plus, we all went bananas for Keita thinking he would be unbelievable for us and take us to a new level. He didn’t.

Mane, Salah and Wiji as examples were all seen as not good enough by some on these pages and they did take us to a new level!

Truth is no one can be sure how a player will turn out so, if we sign him, let’s see how he gets on before we throw him under the bus.

Im not to excited in getting a midfielder in general, whether its Saul or Sanches. I think the priority should be getting a young striker.

The concern is the club are pushing for Sanches because they can get him on financial terms they find attractive, I’d of hoped we’d sign the best player possible for the position, not the one who it just happens we can get on the cheap.

Seano, because Lille are cool with our payment plan does not mean Klopp does not want Sanches or would not like to have him in the squad. I like you, think we should get the best player available but if that is not attainable and we need a body in midfield then what do you do? Not sign anyone? That is true but clearly wants to sign someone. If RS signs, I will support him to the fullest.

As for those slandering him cos he failed at Bayern (a team in disarray at the time under hapless Carlo) and Swansea (a basket case in disarray who got relegated), that’s just weak/ lazy lazy slander that literally means and proves nothing about whether he will fail or succeed in the PL. Salah and KDB, anyone?

I liked the look of Sanches at the Euro's for Portugal, he looked like the player that I was expecting to see when he turned up at Swansea.
He has now matured, just like Salah did, like De bruyne and Matic did. The Sanches we would be buying would be a different animal to the one who was relegated at Swansea.
I would be excited to see him at Anfield and it wouldn't surprise me if he teared it up.

Olired-to slander someone is to make a false statement damaging their reputation. I don’t think anything that I said was in any way slanderous. So by your argument he will only succeed in a successful team? Ok. Got it. 🤣.

We will see Ed25s. He reminds me of Seedorf the way he plays.
People are judging him on being 20 playing in a struggling Swansea team. I am judging on the player I saw at the Euro's He kept the mighty Bruno on the bench and was by far Portugals best player.
I think he will suit the way we playand having top players around him he will shine.

Making comparisons with salah and de bruyne to convince yourselves he's a good player who could turn it around in the same way is reaching, to put it politely. If its true, you should never sign a player because he's a bit cheaper in wages and the club can spread the cost more, who are we buying him off, Crazy George's? (for anyone who doesn't remember they were an home furnishing/ electrical shop with extortionate interest rates, but you could buy a telly and take 50 years to pay it back)
