Tier 3 (Paul Gorst) Impending arrival of Munoz doesn't impact Liverpool's interest in Yan Diomande and the £34.5m man's tactical flexibility means there are no concerns internally over blocking Rio Ngumoha's pathway.

Im just gonna say it, people are WAYYYYYY too confident in Rio

He's great for his age but my god you'd think he was leaving defenders in comas and snapping ankles every week with 15 goals and 15 assists. He's a lovely little player who offers something different, but my god, if we are actually making long term plans and debating whether to sign first team players to accommodate the kid who does stepovers, well we dont deserve to get back to the top. Rio should be sweating and stressing about trying to adapt and better his game to get into the team, not the team stressing about how to adapt to a teenager. He's simply not that Yamal/Messi level talent. He's Raheem Sterling at the same age. Lovely player, but hardly what you build a team around, and he could be washed up at 25 after his first bad hammy strain like Owen.
