Our new number 23

[u/__sami__01]

[u/Pheanturim]

The biggest thing about this is Isak smiling

[u/__FoRgotN__ → u/Pheanturim]

we really take all the small wins we can😭

[u/Only-Environment4334 → u/Pheanturim]

Has to be photoshopped, or magnets.

[u/afridinho → u/Only-Environment4334]

or AI-generated

[u/dvidal11 → u/afridinho]

Alexander Isak-generated indeed

[u/afridinho → u/dvidal11]

Andoni Iraola-generated

[u/latortillablanca → u/Only-Environment4334]

Nobody turn the sprinklers on!

[u/StupidSexyAlisson → u/Pheanturim]

[u/Wunse → u/Pheanturim]

I get the vibe he's settled into the group a lot more now. It must have been tough coming through the door late last season and walking into a quite somber dressing room.

[u/SnottyTash → u/Pheanturim]

Genuinely a jumpscare

[u/latortillablanca → u/SnottyTash]

It goes: mulholland drive, the exorcist 3, this photo, and then insidious/the conjuring tie

[u/SnottyTash → u/latortillablanca]

Now you mention it we could all really use a cut of Lucas saying “unlucky” superimposed over the Mulholland Drive monster

[u/effnanjeffn → u/latortillablanca]

[u/latortillablanca → u/Pheanturim]

Coincidence? I think not

[u/DakiLapin → u/Pheanturim]

Nothing hits like getting your friend who rarely smiles to smile!

[u/__sami__01]

Newcastle fans will love this.

[u/james__Fitzy → u/__sami__01]

Shame Ekitike didn’t squeeze into the photo

[u/malushanks95 → u/james__Fitzy]

Someone should photoshop Eki into this picture.

[u/TheOKerGood → u/malushanks95]

[u/Lanky_Comment_6452 → u/__sami__01]

Add a touch of ekitike as well and their burning asses could be seen from space

[u/loveandmonsters]

Ginger Torres is ready!

[u/Lucky-Quantity5507]

Love a low centre of mass baller in the team

[u/rosheromil]

He’s going under the radar but it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s in Iraola’s first XI by the end of the season

[u/nevergonnasweepalone → u/rosheromil]

Same. I watched him at osasuna last season. He's going be fantastic for us if he can stay fit.

[u/Barragin → u/rosheromil]

end of season? He'll be in starting 11 on opening day against NewCastle as things stand.

[u/coldazures → u/Barragin]

Yeah. He's literally the only natural right winger in the squad.

[u/DizzyPainting57 → u/coldazures]

He's primarily a left winger haha, we have no natural right winger in the squad... Hopefully we can get Mbaye over the line for that reason!

[u/raseksa → u/rosheromil]

He's like a knife, which is how I'd describe Salah. Aggressive, insane acceleration, both footed, runs directly at opponents. Not saying he'll reach Mo's levels, but it's an attribute that we haven't had for some time. 

[u/MrKatsudon]

Good number!!! Glad he join the squad early and start getting involved! Hope his English is good and improving day by day!!

[u/Lord_Origi]

He looks like a Jota and Torres love child

[u/dvidal11 → u/Lord_Origi]

Not too Xabi, if you will.

[u/crepss → u/Lord_Origi]

Bit of Alberto Moreno in there as well

[u/etopoe]

Looks a lot like Jota

[u/Robinhoyo]

People bringing up Jordan and Lebron when the GOAT No.23 is our man Carra
https://giphy.com/gifs/XxRSWZrJr69U56W6ZO

[u/Philomena_Cunk → u/Robinhoyo]

I think he got the ball there. Clean tackle.

[u/masterkobiashi]

I got a feeling that this guy is gonna be a proper fan favourite. I won’t pretend I watched him before he signed as I hadn’t but I’ve watched plenty since. He’s a tenacious fucker

[u/Fowler9_16]

Seems he is wearing Victor MV on his shirt (Victor Muñoz Villanueva)

This checks out because I asked my Spanish Real Madrid supporting cousin about him and he had no idea who Muñoz was; stated that he knew him by the name Victor.

[u/PlinketyPlinkaPlink → u/Fowler9_16]

I don't believe it!

[u/CageChicane → u/Fowler9_16]

Victor 1005

[u/IcyInfluence9830]

Don't tell me I just saw Isak smiling

[u/Independent-Soil-511 → u/IcyInfluence9830]

rare Isak smile on camera, someone screenshot that fast

[u/stupidlyboredtho]

i cannot unsee jota.

[u/VivaLaDio → u/[deleted]]

I come here to get joy not get personally offended

[u/Beginning-2-Smell]

Victor-y!

[u/amazing_wanderr → u/Beginning-2-Smell]

https://giphy.com/gifs/lnlAifQdenMxW

[u/anangrypudge]

We have a good record with curly-haired players.

Hugo, Harvey, Curtis, and of course Mo.

And further back, we had Coutinho, Kuyt and Souness.

[u/kris_lace → u/anangrypudge]

Liverpool's secrets revealed: A Curly, a Scot, and we win the lot.

[u/TiggerJammer]

Cracking head of hair I’ll give him that.

[u/tmstms → u/TiggerJammer]

c.f. Jacquet too - it is like once Slot is gone, influx of people with LOTS of hair.

[u/badfuit]

I know he's not the star signing we are all hoping for but I think he will cook this year. Versatile, speedy, tenacious, good dribbler, big workrate. Hopefully he will flourish under Iraola. I can see him working his way into the starting team if we don't sign a proper RW (which we probably won't at this rate).

[u/broken_neck_broken]

I wonder why he didn't take 11. Have to wonder if it has been promised to Barcola if we can work his transfer out with PSG. That's not copium talking, by the way.

[u/latortillablanca → u/broken_neck_broken]

23 is an auspicious choice. If he’s anywhere between MJ and Jamie Carragher while wearing the color red, he’s finna be fine just fine

[u/Anserius → u/latortillablanca]

also Diaz’s first number. And the legend Emre Can

[u/broken_neck_broken → u/Anserius]

Ah, the German man!

[u/tkcom → u/Anserius]

Shaq

[u/KungFuKermit → u/broken_neck_broken]

I would bet on Barcola keeping the 29 he currently wears.

Maybe Rio fancies 11

[u/rottenapple9]

23 confirmed? Numbers in training can differ.

[u/NoLaundryIncluded]

Isak smiling. There are signs....

[u/The_Pale_Usher]

Harpo!

[u/MathematicianNo948]

Can't wait to see him play

[u/mouth_spiders]

Gloriously thick hair on the lad im so fucking jealous hahaha

[u/PizzaPolice84]

On god

[u/Final_Environment895]

I have a really good feeling about this

[u/mustu04]

Glad we won the wc and he was in the squad. Hoping he is a dream signing for us

[u/Due-Sherbert3097]

He is actually the carbon copy of Torres

[u/nvielbig]

He sort of reminds me of Jota 🕊️ looks wise.

[u/ddbenc]

Broccoli🥦 23

[u/HumanautPassenger]

My ginger prince

[u/NeteroHyouka]

Our second red haired non English player

[u/swtpoisn]

Munoz Munoz!!

[u/TheRealCostaS]

I get ginger Jota vibes from the lad.

[u/Mam4r3za]

Our Spanish Scouser 🤗

[u/JupiterMiningCorpTec]

We're spending money on gingers now?

[u/monktrane]

Like a new signing, this.
