How Good Is Stefanos Tzimas? Exciting Liverpool Target Learning From One of the Best | Opta Analyst
Stefanos Tzimas has been quietly making waves in the German second tier at Nürnberg, but could he make the step up to Liverpool?

Again FWIW the reporting is that he signed and chose us over other clubs including Liverpool after "very good talks with Hurzeler" according to Sky.

Sometimes - I guess they're a team. But often he reports or confirms interest in targets via tweets or contributions to their website . Of course The Athletic compete with Sky, FAB (the other one) , and dozens of outlets globally for PL transfer news - its competitive stuff.

Don’t let that get in the way of the headloss and character assassination!

My worry is that we're buying like there's no tomorrow, but are these young players actually improving? All these new players look slow, short and weak.

Someone has turned Baleba into an incredible player this season, thats for certain.

You might think so, others might disagree. In any case, I sincerely doubt Tony is buying players left and right without having thought every deal through.

He's Ferguson's replacement.

It almost seems like a miracle that he has.... but maybe he's just so good that he'll improve despite the "coaching"?

Or Pedro or Welbeck ?
He's another centre forward option thats for certain.
Ferguson's future still very much up in the air. Depends on his 15 or so games with West Ham, the future of Hurzeler and very much the futures of Pedro and Welbeck who is 35 next season.
Which is ridiculous. So every good player is luck, every bad one is FHs fault. Every win has been luck, every defeat is FHs fault. This is all getting very silly.

Funny one this, isn't it? He's playing in the German equivalent of the Championship, and yet seemingly had Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and Villa after him, according to some pretty reputable sources. That's like Europe's top clubs (and Spurs/ Chelsea) going after some lad at Sunderland.
His underlying stats must suggest he's pretty special then.

I'm sure this has been done to death on the other thread but every little thing I've read about that situation suggests there is way more to it than Barco not being up to the grade and that it comes down to something very negative about his character/ personality. It's clearly not just us who thought that either, as Sevilla haven't wanted to touch him with a bargepole.
On the plus side, he's now gone to Chelsea, thinly disguised as Strasbourg, so hopefully he will screw their clubs up from the inside.

Oh I've seen all that, but he's still playing in the second tier, isn't he? I don't know if those figures are weighted to take into account the relative strengths of the leagues.
Don't get me wrong, I very much want to be positive. I just want to know what it is about this lad which has seemingly attracted some of the best clubs in Europe, despite the fact he's playing against German village sides.
