If that's the case, why the fuck did we not do that in January?

 

We were top of the league going in to the January transfer window, if we'd had this transfer ready at the start of the window we might have actually defended the title and gone further in the Champions League!

 

We did talk to them about both their CB from what i read. My biggest guess would be as soon as we drew them in the Champions league any chance of a deal was off the table

RBL were also fighting for the title at that time.

Erm, because they probably said ‘no, we are fighting for a title and can’t replace him’ or ‘current price is 100m’. Seems a strange criticism on the day we sign him. ‘Fuck, the only thing I can complain about is why we didn’t do it last window’.

That journo that came out after the first leg stating that Leipzig would be happy going out to us so they could concentrate on the domestic double might want to keep his head down

Yeah, that makes sense, although we could have made some sort of agreement that we wouldn't play him in those games?

Who knows. Maybe they didn’t want to sell him the club they were due to face in the CL?

Good news. Good player, one of the top young CBs in Europe, where we need them, for a big fee, with little fuss, done early. 
 

They might find it tough to moan about this one. 

 

Hold my beer.

 

They wouldn’t dare not back Klopp after the ESL debacle.

Any agreement wouldn't have been legal i don't think. 

 

 

Could see it know

 

 

Yeah we won't play him

He wasn't playing for them at that point anyway. He's only started 3/4 games for them this calendar year.

 

I just find it odd that that we've waited until our first choice Centre back's start to regain fitness before signing him.

Did Allerdyce let it slip he agreed not to play Snodgraas against West Ham earlier in the season?

 

I know it was frowned upon but did they actually break any law?

There was noway they were selling their CB to us to strengthen us before we play them in the Champions League!

It’s a position that needed filling anyway.

Uh, you've never heard of his injuries, mate? There's loads to moan about.

 

All kidding aside, Konaté's a project. Hasn't played much football the past couple of years.

Im pretty sure it kicked up a stink because it is against the rules, once you sell a player you can't enforce anything like that.
