Naby Keita

[dockers_strike]

It's a shame about Keita. Had high hopes for the boy after all the build up of his signing. But the club and Jurgen have a good track record on big money signings and fingers crossed that continues.

[El Rojo]

Any good examples of players who’ve been utterly useless for a few seasons suddenly fulfilling their potential?

Just on numbers grounds I can't see too many of the younger mids going this summer. Fab and Thiago are probably the only two without any question marks over them for next season for a variety of reasons encompassing age , injuries , contract and ability concerns.

 

 

I don't believe Hendo is in any danger yet either,and rightly so. If he has another injury hit 12 months though,I could see some worrying signs.

We've all heard this over the years. 

"Klopp has insisted that" insert name here "has a future  at Liverpool" 

 

I too had high hopes. For him. Maybe it's something in training that's injuring players as we never have a full squad to choose from. 

 

[TheHowieLama]

He has inspired an apathy within me - I could care less what happens.

[Halcyon Days]

Couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag, has the talent but is ultimately the biggest fanny to ever play for this club. Get shut.

If Keita was a Tinder profile he’d be one of those who’s photos all have several of her fitter mates in as well, taken at least 5 years ago. The ultimate not what I saw in the fucking brochure, is that lad.

Apt, this was my profile photo on there for a while last year.

 

 

As was this, actually.

 

Mixed results, but a reasonable filtering system. Random thread derailing is random, sorry.

 

Back to how Naby really does need to do the decent thing and get himself a transfer, anywhere, so we can buy an able-bodied midfielder for our squad.

We should sell him we probably won’t because no one will pay our valuation

He's dead money anyway. We should just cut out losses and get anything we can.

Well thank fuck we dont go back to the days of being shafted on every sale we do.

 

Im not certain the club will hold out for a ridiculously high value but they'll make sure we dont get shafted.

We try to be too smart for our own good sometimes.

look at Oirgi we should have cashed in on him last summer but couldn’t agree a fee now he’s worth less than a bag of skittles.

Igor.

That shambles of a performance at Real's training ground, when he was given the biggest vote of confidence possible by Klopp, ended his career here.

 

I said at the time we'd not see him again, and I stand by that.

Anyone know if the clubs player insurance cover accidents

Let's hope you're right. And let's hope that's not because he's on our fringes! 

[Red74]

Got this horrible feeling that

 

A) he gets a new contract this summer 

 

B) he doesn’t and stays here till the end of his contract, offering us nothing and goes for nothing at the end.

 

Got the feeling that Klopp is desperate for him to succeed here and won’t let him leave on his watch. 

 

Lad might have talent but he’s had 1 good season in his career and a couple of good games in ore season the summer we signed him.

 

I don’t think he’s got the mentality for what it takes to be a top footballer. He’ll leave us and won’t stay at another club for longer than a season before dropping through leagues and will drop out of football before he’s 30.

 

Hope we can con someone out of £20m + and we get him replaced with some quality. 

[KMD7]

He needs shifting ASAP.  

[Daisy]

You just know he will move to Leicester or something and rip it up

Yep, very talented but completely let down by a weak mentality and proneness to injury.

 

In hindsight, we should have seen the writing on the wall when he arrived with no English despite knowing know he was coming here for an entire year.

I was just going to bring the not learning English thing up! Bad attitude that. 
It’s not like they don’t have good English teachers in Germany, look at Klopp and Tuchel! I always remember Klopp being complimented on his English by a journo and he shrugged and said he learnt at school. Well I ‘learnt’ French at school but I couldn’t carry out a good conversation with a French person!

[an tha]

Just get him bin bagged.

 

He is eating up a big wage for zero return and simply isn't there to be relied upon when we need him.

 

We can't afford to waste the wage that could be used on someone who can actually be called upon and be ready, and we can't carry the waste of a squad place he is.

 

Get him gone.

Biggest disappointment  since Kewell . Game changing player massive chunk of transfer budget , need to consider who we didnt buy and what they could have brought to team eg Maddison perhaps or god forbid a younger Fernandes . Now we "hear" rumblings he wants to leave , he can fuck right off he has been a disaster .

You can't get every transfer right though. The key is identifying they're shit early and getting rid while their stock is still high. After 3 seasons, we've probably let this one run a bit too far. His contract is failing into his last 2 years, he's been off form for 3 years and wasn't sparkling by all accounts in his final year at RBL, so it's 4 ordinary or below seasons. We'll do well to get half of our money back (was he 52m?) , But if we can recover a tad over 20m, it's the equivalent of Gini leaving and won't represent an asset loss.

Imagine how good Aguero would have been for City if he bothered to learn some English.
