Chris Williams also stated we submitted a €65m bid for Keita last night, although it was rejected. Not sure why we're haggling over €5-10m once again, but renewed hope that it'll be done. Apparently Keita has his heart set on a move to Anfield as well.
Salah - done
None. Next ....
You know as well as I do that fees are inflated way beyond reason this Summer, due to even higher income from the PL. Not a valid comparison. I wonder what they would have cost last season (at their same level) for example. Maybe £35m apiece ? Instead of probably £60m and £55m this.
But still it doesn't justify him complaining of other club spending big and giving lectures of how he will never do the same and yet just a season later (it's not like he said 10 years back) he is bidding £60 odd for a defender and £70 odd for a midfielder who is less proven than pogba.
A lot of it is down the work Klopp has done behind the scenes he's had to get involved personally to sell the project but I imagine that wasn't too difficult. We haven't acted like a big club with stature at all in recent years and it's no surprise we've rarely been considered one this past decade when you look at how we've conducted ourselves, thankfully that seems to be changing at least whilst Klopp is around.
Liverpool r making a complete fool out of themselves. Leipzig couldnt be more clear, that Keita isnt for sale, but u obviously dont understand a no. There is no chance to get him, but go on and continue believing he will come..deluded.
Yeah you're right but what's even more ridiculous and petty is football fans arguing over transfer fees and amounts spent. Especially in an era where the PL is flowing with money. There are plenty of other things to rib each other about. I mean by all means if you want to rip an individual player then fine but the fees argument is one I just can't fathom.
Let's revisit this post in a few weeks and see who's right. I never suggested that it's a done deal or anything like that, just that there's definitely a possibilty since the player obviously wants to come, plus several trustworthy outlets have reported recently that Leipzig's stance could change, and already has changed for some board members, with a €70-80m bid.
suureYes, please mark my words and then come back in September..they never come back though.
Who said they want 70m besides lying English press? They said even tripple digits wont change anything. You guys living in lala land..just clueless.
Fair enough then, agree to disagree and you can't fault me for being optimistic/hopeful, at least I don't ridicule your opinion. A lot has changed since their initial 'not for sale' stance according to various sources and they are all we can talk about since none of us are ITK. Chris Williams usually knows his business though, and where there's smoke sometimes there's fire as well. There have been clubs before who didn't want to sell and ended up selling anyway. It's not just English media either, even Bild were on it yesterday.
Rangnick and Mintzlaff have both said the same and they said it in such a clear way, that there is no other interpretation possible. Do you want me to post their statements again? They literally left zero doubts about him staying. There is zero chance and all Liverpool are doing is acting like total idiots thinking a no is not a no. Its only a topic in English media and they r always clueless and ignorant.
Yes, please mark my words and then come back in September..they never come back though.
Please also mark these statements:
Weigl, Guerreiro and Dembele are going to stay at Dortmund
Forsberg, besides Keita, will stay at Leipzig.
Henrichs, Havertz, Tah and Brand will stay at Leverkusen.
Goretzka will join Bayern latest in 2018 and Brandt most likely the same.
Edit: Trustworthy outlets have reported recently that Leipzig's stance could change, and already has changed for some board members, with a €70-80m bid.
See, thats the problem..absolutely nothing has changed and what you call trustworthy outlets are just clueless nonsense talking crap sources.
Yeah, looking alright for a preseason game. Do you think Alexander-Arnold will feature more this year? I've been impressed by him the few times I've watched
What sources are you basing this on or is that just what you think is going on?
It's mid-July ffs. If we end up without the players we want, it's because their clubs simply don't want to sell and not because we can't pay for them.
Last summer called, it wants its misplaced sense of superiority back...
