MJ_1874 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 23 minutes ago, alreadyexists said: I would really like Origi. I don’t understand the dislike of the idea. He has a very good goals to minute ratio... to base it on appearances is unfair because he’s been primarily a sub player for Liverpool. He’s scored every 176 mins this year in just the PL, which isn’t much worse than Tammy who scored a goal every 148, and even Mo Salah only managed a goal every 152 mins in the PL this year. I actually think if we got him, it would be quite a coup. Need to consider Liverpool create a large number of chances. If you look at his wider stats they are not that good such as successful dribbles, chances created, conversion ratio etc. I don't think he is much better than what we have. Edouard has the potential to be a £75m player if he has one successful season with us. His creativity, dribbling and finishing are excellent and if we can get him for £35m we definitely should in my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I would presume we want both. Problem is, it appears half the PL now appear to want Watkins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do enjoy the exaggerations - but Origi has performed on the big stage, for one of the biggest teams in the World. He’s been incredibly reliable for Liverpool. I can only imagine people don’t want him because he isn’t first choice somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's looked slow, cumbersome and a poor finisher for Liverpool when he's played. He'd only look worse playing with worse players too. Really don't rate him at all.

Chuck the Norwich FBs Lewis & Aarons on the list and we’d be even better going forward. That would be some window, maybe with another CM if it’s fantasy football.

wilko154 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I'm not convinced by Origi at all, I would imagine he will flop for us. That's just my opinion. If he was as good as people make out then bids would have come in for him by now, or he would have forced his way into the Liverpool 11. He's a squad player who seem's happy making appearances when a player gets injured, whether thats up front or on the left wing. The perfect squad player for a team who rarely change their starting 11. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Origi is absolutely terrible. I don't want us anywhere near him. Luckily so far it's all nonsense reports that mean nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) I think balancing is important. For every Giggs you need a Beckham. For every Mahrez you need an Albrighton. I'm not sure a diamond with Benhrama, Grealish and Rashica would be all that in reality. They are all keen on holding on to the ball and playmake. You need more directness, work rate, power etc. to combine it with. It sounds good on paper, probably works on FM, but in real life you can't just stack 11 playmakers on the pitch. Watkins might actually work in that mix mind. Could be a Wiltord purchase to mix things up. Edited August 6, 2020 by KenjiOgiwara 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I seen him it looks like he has a poor 1st touch and control, always goes away from him. If he was available for 10 million or so I would take him as a back up but definitely a lot better available 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very good point, the volume and quality of the chances provided to Origi will be far greater than what he will get here. A lot will depend on his hunger to drop down a level after winning CL and PL in recent seasons. Will he have the hunger for the fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I just had a thought about Origi and it wasnt good. What if it's a reverse Benteke situation, where they signed teke off of us and he played Sh!t and then we go sign Origi and he does to us and then we get liverpool floating Karma about. I'm not down for being hit with karma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
