“I could not be happier that we’ve been able to get this deal done and bring Luis to Liverpool,” the manager told Liverpoolfc.com.

“I have always been a believer in only signing players in January if you would want to sign them in the summer, and that’s very much the case with Luis.

“He is an outstanding player and someone we’ve been tracking for a very long time.

“We believe he has everything needed to fit into our way and adapt to the Premier League, both physically and mentally. He is a player who is hungry for success and knows you have to fight to get what you want. He is a fighter, no doubt. He’s a skilful team player who has always the goal in mind.

“This team deserved to add quality and when we played against Luis earlier this season, we saw what a danger he is, how fast he is and how his mentality was to help his team.

“We know Porto is an outstanding club who nurture players in the best possible way and provide a brilliant football education. They are a class club and, I have to say, have been tough negotiators.

“We also have to say thank you to the Colombia FA for being so helpful in allowing us the time to complete this deal. They have a big game on Tuesday and I know as well as anyone how important preparation is for matches, so for them to allow us a few hours to finalise the transfer without impacting their training was greatly appreciated.

“I also must make clear my appreciation to our ownership and football operations team for how they have managed to act so decisively to get this done.

“Luis is a player we believe will make us better now and in the future. He is the player we really wanted and they’ve made it happen, so I am very happy.”

The best thing about this is we get too see a full rotation of our forward line without the massive downgrade in quality - at least for 6 months.  Hopefully showing that having that amount of players is absolutely necessary and gets the best out of them all.

Diaz seems to play mostly off the left but looks like he is capable of playing in any of the front three?

Yeah I agree. 

I don't know if Sadio will feel quite as thrilled by that prospect tho. 

Really exciting signing tho - his highlights reels are amazing.

Those coming to the end of their contract may not like and may wish to go but it doesn't stop being a fact that a club of our size needs to be able to rotate our forward line properly just like its a necessity to have 4 cbs, cover at full back, decent back up keeper.

I hope it's true we bid £500k less than Spurs

:lol:

We don’t seem to hear about just what an absolutely incredible negotiator Daniel Levy is quite as much these days.
