Hasn’t this guy got a bit of an attitude as well as being injury prone?

I would rather keep @JamesMilner for the next 10 years! He is more reliable than this guy!

Don’t we have enough injury prone players already ?

The 22-year-old, who is currently valued at £63 million according to Transfermarkt, has made just nine appearances for the Spanish club so far this season having missed numerous games through injury (per Transfermarkt). Now that this report has surfaced claiming that the Reds are readying and £80 million bid for the winger this summer, many Liverpool fans have been sharing their scepticism over this potential transfer move.
Will be Naby Keita 2.0

Waste of money, injury history and attitude a nightmare.

He’s injury prone, has a bad attitude and would rather play Fifa all day. Wouldn’t get in our first team and has done nothing to justify the €100m Barca paid for him. There’s better, cheaper options out there.

Please don’t buy another Sturridge, please don’t

What do we think?
Given Dembele’s injury record for Barcelona this season, it’s understandable why these Liverpool fans would be reluctant to get excited over this potential transfer move for the Frenchman.
