Man who gets injured by a piece of grass wants more game time…

You couldnt make it up, could you?

Loads of people still rate him. Made a comment on another platform about how I don't know how not everyone is sick of him at this rate and how can the fanboys still defend him all the time, and I got torched. There's a cult around the guy. I think most fans were willing to give him a chance even after 2 years down the line of his signing, me included, but that sentiment should be over now. 

 

Unfortunately, Klopp loves his qualities on paper despite the fact he rarely delivers. He called him one of the best midfielders in Europe at one point. That, with the fact his value has probably dropped too low for us to consider selling him means he'll be here for the long haul. 

The club spent £53m on a player Klopp wanted. Does that make him our third highest signing ever? He was always going to get every chance to make a go of things in a way that a £10m signing wouldn't. 

 

Agree that we're not going to get anything near what we paid for him back now, but we should still cut our losses. Is he even a £20m player at this stage? Anyway, we've rinsed enough other clubs over the last few years and one big transfer was always going to go badly. We've come out well on the law of averages. Fees aside, Alisson or Virgil flopping would have been vastly more damaging to us than Keita doing the same. We wouldn't have won the league or European Cup without either, whereas sometimes I forget that Keita plays for us (even during games when he starts).

If Liverpool are in talks about a new contract, it is surely just to protect his transfer value. His ship must surely have sailed?

The Keita ketch.

Is there something we have to do as a fan base to make him keep to his word? 

[Scott_M]

Out of Saturday. Must have been a vicious piece of grass.

 

Typical of his career with us. 

[TheHowieLama]

Probably got lucky - imagine what would have happened if he actually kicked the ball.

[Daisy]

So we've not replaced a midfielder and got a midfield injury crisis emerging. Sounds familiar 

[El Dangerous]

The emergence of Jones and Elliott probably helps him. There’s tons of quality to be had out of those two in the near future so there’s barely any pressure on Naby. We don’t need him to be world class we just need him to fill a gap.

[El Rojo]

I’d take 58-year-old Gareth Barry over him at this stage.

Keita is a joke...Sore foot after kicking the ground so he can't play....Frigging Suarez had to borrow one of Gerrard's boots to play a match once because his wouldn't fit as his foot was so swollen.

 

Sooner he is bin bagged and his spot in squad and wages he steals are going to someone more useful the better.

[Einch]

Hope he does snub any contract we offer. He’s useless. Utter waste of everything. 

[an tha]

The useless get looks like he is out of Brentford and Porto....

Thiago out of City as well is a big blow

He's already snubbed his toe in that Norwich game so maybe, just maybe.....

[TheHowieLama]

"hopefully when they come back then that’s it and they can play the rest of the season, that would be extremely helpful.”

 

We are now hoping he can be helpful. Sheesh.

[The Midnight Rambler]

The talk of giving him a new contract is to protect his value but what is his value? Is anybody realistically going to pay more than 15m for him? And fuck knows how much he’s on a week. Duck fat.

Terrible analogy - duck fat is tremendous.

He needs to fuck off.

Can’t stand him. He’s fucking shit and piss weak, the sooner this turd is flushed the better. For me he is hands down our worst ever signing. A truly appalling footballer

[VladimirIlyich]

Michael Stensgaard sends his best wishes to Keita and empathises strongly.

[Red74]

Cheeky cunt starts every game he’s fit and he’s crying for a more prominent role. Right up there with one of our worst ever signings. Been here far too long and needed to be jettisoned last summer.

 

Said it before but this bums Klopps blind spot
