I think at his age, having the chance to play for Liverpool is obviously a massive draw, but come on. He’s gonna be playing Carabao cup & FA Cup games. I doubt he’s going to be on more than he was with us either, a rumoured £70k. Feel like he could have gone & played somewhere regular.
A brief view from me would be that I feel we need another striker. The first team looks great but I would fear Haller getting injured or not taking immediately to the Premiership and Chico cannot play up alone.
It's worth noting that a window shouldn't only be evaluated by just who we buy but retention also and we haven't done too bad. Arnie is a big loss but I feel we expected it and effectively had little say in it. I am sure we had enquiries for others however but have managed to retain Rice, Diop, Anderson and Lanzini.
Whoever Leicester buy this window it will be hard to see it as a success as they have just failed retain their best defender.
I imagine if Haller cannot play for a particular reason (injury, suspension etc), then Antonio will replace him with Chicharito being third choice striker.
Assuming this is happening, it seems like a smart move. He's young enough not to have to go in the 25 man squad, looks like he can already play, and gets up to a year in which to bed himself in.
For me, Adrian to Liverpool is the same as when Dudek went to Real Madrid as third choice goalie. He’s not going to get a lot of game time, but he’s in chance to get medals now!
I am very happy for Adrian and am reading it that it's the last week of the window and may not have had the offers of first team football hoped and didn't want to be without a club. It's also a different prospect being second keeper at Liverpool as they will be in so many competitions and likely going far in them that he will inevitably get some game time. He also knows one injury to the No 1 and he has the chance of playing in matches he wouldn't have dreamed of possibly. Understandable and good decision in my view.

He’ll probably get more game time than if he stayed with us, even if it’s only in the domestic cups!

I knew it!!!
Looks like he can play CB and LB, and based on this already looks better than Oggy

Crikey, that’s a bit harsh on Maguire - have his employers written him off as poison already?
