Incoming.... (Adam Lewis from Liverpool signs)

[Tugboat]

Looks a good addition and can assist with getting us further up the pitch.

I think Connor Grant may be lined up for the CDM which could allow Fornah to return and dig further into the market for a CB or 2.

Interesting signing, he was in the Amiens team until early December then disappeared from the team sheets , injured? Or a fall out, whatever Amiens are playing at a way better level than Argyle. Looking forward to seeing him.

Sounds like we are the "last chance saloon " for him as far as Liverpool are concerned. A typical Lowe gamble .

Liverpool signed him to a long term contract last summer: https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/academ ... verpool-fc

Amiens appointed a new manager in October and Lewis fell out of favour. He'd featured regularly until then. Therefore, rather than waste 6 months of his development, they've chosen to recall him and send him here where he will play games. Nothing about that says last chance saloon to me. But I guess that doesn't give you the chance to take a dig at the manager before his new signing has kicked a ball.

If you care to read the google link on this post you will see he played 9 times, Amiens were not impressed and Liverpool are disappointed he has not fulfilled his early promise but to those who think Lowe walks on water it's a good signing!

You haven't read it properly though have you? Liverpool have not said they are disappointed. It's the opinion of the writer, which holds no more merit than someone writing on PASOTI.

The link to a local french paper states that Lewis failed to convince the management at Amiens. Which as I've alluded too, is likely in part because the manager who brought him in was sacked. Until then he'd featured 9 times. On top of that, he's a 20 year old, living in a foreign country in the middle of a global pandemic. Might have something to do with his struggle.

I don't think Lowe walks on water, but without even seeing Lewis kick a ball, you've decided it's a 'typical Lowe gamble' just because his previous loan spell wasn't a roaring success.

Anyway, here's some more interesting reading on Lewis and his time with Amiens. It was written shortly before the previous manager was sacked:

A bit of a surprise he has never been sent up to Rangers with Gerrard the manager there as he rated him so highly back in 2017.

Could you link articles to back up the statements in bold please? Not saying they're not true, just interested to have a read.

Quite an interesting signing, this. Even if he's 25% as good as the current Liverpool wingbacks he'll do for me!

IMO Lowe's transfer dealings have hardly impressed to date.

 

[GreenSkittle]

Are they covering his wages or are we covering them since that awful club wasn’t able to claim furlough?

Embarrassing.

Besides that - let’s hope he improves our squad.

I agree. The main thing is he is a specialist wing back, developed by a team who play with them, so he should know what good looks like. And we'll be playing him - assuming we do - in that position.

I'd be happy for us to become the go-to club for Liverpool's highly rated wing backs to get experience. There are many worse things...

As I said the link was posted earlier in this post.

Not sure if I'm wowed with this signing, but if it improves us then that's all that matters. Don't forget that Amiens were in Ligue 1 last season (and currently sitting 6th in Ligue 2), so we're probably looking at a fairly decent player if he's played 9 times for them this year.

From a very knowledgeable Liverpool-supporting friend of mine:

He's been on the radar for ages. He was always too good for the youth teams, but i think he's not the biggest lad so when they tried to get him up levels he'd get bullied a bit. But he's 21 now, so now or never almost. He got a new contract with us last year though for about 4/5 years so they've obviously got hopes it all works out

he is quoted at 5ft 9in which is not exactly minute by any means. If he was meant to be a replacement CB I would be concerned.
He has the opportunity to show himself in a friendly, quality club atmosphere. It is hoped he will do well.

My friend says this lad absolutely loves a tackle, when in the mood he plays like like Stuart Pearce.

Thanks for that and an interesting read. In short, he's an attack minded left wing back who doesn't dribble or run at defenders so much but likes to cross early. This should benefit Jephcott and Hardie.

That'll do for me. When was the last great tackler we had?
