Liverpool are closing in on Ozak Kabak, with Schalke thrashing out the signing of Shkodran Mustafi before the loan deal for the Turk is announced.
It’s been the talk of Sky Sports News today, as you can imagine, with Paul Merson providing an especially interesting opinion…
Merson claimed Kabak’s agent deserves a knighthood for arranging the deal for his client, who has a losing mentality, says the pundit.
We’d like to remind Merson that Liverpool signed Gini Wijnaldum, Andy Robertson and Xherdan Shaqiri from relegated Premier League sides!
And they turned out ok, didn’t they?
Here’s to Kabak proving Merson and any other doubters wrong, eh?
🗣"You are coming from a losing mentality to a winning one, at Schalke they are expected to lose every week"

What an incredibly ignorant comment! Just wow.. if he had something negative to say about the player himself that he may have this or that weakness or that he couldn’t fit the Pool style, his mentality, injury or disciplinary record, etc sure let’s talk.. but to trash him merely based on the fact that he is coming from a (currently) losing side is the most stupid and lazy comment I ever heard… based on this gem of thinking NO player from a losing team can or should ever progress to a winning, bigger team? Wow… Mr. Merson, kudos to you or your agent for keeping you in a job where clearly u have no talent for..
And btw, you do know how desperate Pool’s CB situation is right now ? Even in that context you still think it’s a bad move? A loan ? You want to argue that Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams are better than Kabak??? Really.?
I can only assume Merson has awoken from a 4 month slumber and been unable to put together Liverpool’s CB injury crisis with the signing of a highly rated Centre Back playing in the Bunesliga at 20 years of age! Odd thing is, he answers his own questions with his comments, but oddly although they seem to have come out of his mouth they haven’t yet reached his brain.
Merson not really a person eorth listening to as always knocking us , Mustafi if hd came all roses and hes a wanker not zlone loser .
Mr Merson we are Liverpool , find players cheap makd them bettet thatz what a coach does …. in short words who gives a shit what you think .
