Naby Keita

[Unrighteous]

I think that's probably got a good chance of being true.

Sell Coutinho for the £90 million being reported to PSG. Buy Salah and Keita for a combined £95 million. Maybe chuck in Oxo Chambo as well for £25 mill.

 

1 player out, 3 players in, net spend of £25 - 30 million.

Knowing that we've got Coutinho cash lined up would certainly explain why we don't seem fazed by the mooted fee for Keita, and why we've been tilting at a fair few expensive players.

 

Thats how I expected the summer to go before it started... honestly... except i figured Coutinho to Barca.

[Heinze]

I see you Naby,

threadin' that pass.

 

This shit better happen

If that turns out to be the case then it is time for fsg to do one.

If we actually manage to not balls this one up, we will have increased the depth to our midfield. On the flip side, players like Grujic need meaningful game time in order to develop, and that is time he wouldn't really get here even when we rotate. Maybe Liverpool and Leipzig could include a one-season loan for Grujic to go in the opposite direction. There is less competition for places at Leipzig but the addition of Grujic would allow them to invest in a replacement for Keita without affecting whatever midfield depth they currently have. The player stands a better chance of being in the first-team picture next season and if he does well, we have a viable future option on our hands, or at the very least a player we can make a lot of money on.

Lucas regularly had to start games in our midfield last season....

 

We have more games to play this coming one and with the injury prone nature of our players there will be chances for Grujic and everybody (who is any cop) especially assuming Lucas and Stewart leave.

 

We loan out enough players only for them to never make it here...i'd keep Grujic around we need the depth.

The Camara never lies. 

 

Repped

 

They've got him on Camara

 

Negged for not living up to the lofty heights set

 

The Camara adds fifteen pounds.

 

Same

[eeyore]

Still no word of an actual bid

[Paco]

Their chief exec or dof says he's bored of their players being linked away and they're going nowhere

You've changed man.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Welcome to Leipzig 

[Funkasy]

So are we going to put a bid in or just hang our cock out and expect leipzig to give it a blow ?

[Caramac]

No news is good news, so the saying goes ......

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

James Pearce is preparing his tweet

[Pidge]

It's not even signings being imminent these days, is it?  It's just starting the basic negotiating process...  

 

No doubt Melissa reddy's next twitter thread is going to tell us how serious we are. Ignore the fact that we don't seem to have even spoken to Leipzig yet.

 

Our best negotiators are putting together a highly persuasive package for the player. So persuasive it's taking fucking weeks to put together, no chance it'll be dismissed out of hand as a first offer at all...

 

Half expecting the next story to say that Edwards is currently analysing the easyjet booking page to determine whether the much more practical 10:30am departure warrants the extra £20. Imminent!

[Anubis]

They'll be pissing about deciding how big they can make the add-ons.

[BCM]

Is this another chairman we are going to piss off by not actually making a bid.......

 

Its the gordon way....

[amli]

This deal appears to be edging ever closer....

 

BILD: There's been no official offer for RB Leipzig's Naby Keita. Midfielder hasn't had any meetings with director Ralf Rangnick.

[Grinch]

You'd think after having to apologise for media speculation already, we wouldnt be at it weeks later.

 

I hope leaked lies to pacify the fanbase isnt going to cut it this year.

[joe_fishfish]

Just fucking offer £70m and get it fucking done you stupid fucking yank bastards.

[Caramac]

Our new CEO probably wants the deal done by performance based downloadable content in the form of bitcoin.

[Trumo]

It will be done at £56m plus £6m in add-ons. Maybe.

[Sputnik1]

Add ons, we should be. careful with add ons. We could win the league next season and go bankrupt. 

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

It will be done at £56m plus £6m in add-ons. Maybe.

 

Reckon it will be £65m with add ons.

 

I smell a TLW sweepstake.

[G Richards]

£60M plus add ons.

£5M add ons very realistic over course of contract on stuff like appearances

£5M add ons based on winning things like league and champions league
