The new mercurials I'm saying are Izak, Ekotike and Rewengamoa.

The in-betweeners I've got at the moment are Wurz and Soberslai.

And the current building blocks I've got for Liverpool to take forward into the future are Gravenberg, Bradley and Kerkes.

So do we think anybody else first and foremost is good enough to add into the building blocks list?

I've got some unknowns in there as well.

Not necessarily, but only because of question marks over Canatti's future.

I'm saying Virgil is not part of the next great team.

They're my unknowns.

I've got them two, and Leone, and Dans, and maybe even Bajcetic.

But Bajcetic is a complete unknown.

Yeah, I think you can almost be a bit like Firmino.

And when I say that, Adam, it's like it almost feels disrespectful to call Firmino a building block because the minute you took him out of the team, you saw how much harder basically everything was to do because of how much of a cheat code Firmino was to have by himself.

Like he was almost in a sense Mercurial in that he had the talent of the Mercurial players, but he was so much a building block because you could kind of build your whole

attacking like emphasis really off off the back of him and that's the role i can kind of imagine verts getting into i think verts could in theory get through enough work i don't think he has been doing in the past few weeks but i think in theory he could get through enough work but the talent is like so right at the top end that it's hard to see how you can kind of have him only as a building block really

I didn't mention Frimpong basically because the way I'm kind of like categorizing the building blocks, which again is just more like rudimentary in my head really, but is they're good at like,

everything and i'm still not convinced that frimpong is in that category of being like he's good at everything in his position i almost wonder whether he kind of falls in in between but not on the same talent level as verts and soboslai where he's actually just kind of like falling between the two stools rather than being like they could be that good but they are also a bit of a building block

Yeah, because his record was really good at Leverkusen.

Yeah, and I guess, Stu, if we're literally looking at it from sort of, you know, black and white of what the last team was, you know, and we're kind of almost wondering there if Virts can sort of slip into a Firmino-ish role in terms of, you know, getting through loads of work but being right at the top in terms of talent.

I think, you know, Sobisai is a way better technical football than Jordan Henderson was, for example, but I could kind of see him ending up in a Henderson role.

And if he does, by the way, that means the floor of your team is massive.
