I hope this saga ends soon. The mother Fekir will want to know where her son is going to be.
So it's not even a failed medical?
Oh come on, everyone is like that about transfers. Your fans are as bad as ours are for it.
We would never have such an embarrassing hashtag, only in Liverpool they could create something from freaky friday
Originally I was hoping he would’ve played as the most advanced in a midfield three. Having watched a video of his goals/style of play however, I think he would’ve ended up rotating with Mane.
I don’t even see what’s wrong with doing that. It’s only a bit of fun on social media.
FML lol

It would be utterly poetic seeing him hijack the deal and seeing Fekir become one of our best players. Then Liverpool would feel how I felt when we missed out on Robben, Ronaldinho, Essien and Hazard when the opposition swooped in out of nowhere and got them from under our noses
Would have They managed to sign highly sought-after players (not) like Nabil Fekir and Fabinho two years ago?Has this turned into another "Klopp is bad, net spend, Mourinho, United, expectations!!!" thing?
Look, far as Klopp and Liverpool are concerned, look at it this way: when Klopp took over Liverpool, nobody outside their own fans and british media considered Liverpool among the elite football clubs. Now, everybody outside Manchester United fans do
I'd say Klopp's been doing a terrific job and they seem to be on the right track. Let's face it: would they have managed to sign a highly sought-after player like Fabinho two years ago?
More unjustified green smileys directed at the storied Liverpool Football Club. I'm not having it. Any further unfounded laughter at the expense of the scouse will hopefully be met with censure from the general RedCafe population.
Lyon are a bunch of fekirs aren't They?
I've joined so I can say what I think a club I support (among several) has done wrong. Of the two main LFC forums, one is practically North Korea and the other has mods with mood swings akin to Donald Trump. Opportunity for banter abounds, obviously, but I'll take that over the alternatives.
Missing out on Fekir is a blow, no question in my mind. He would have been a terrific fit (and in theory could still be, it's a long summer) for Liverpool because he can not only play the midfield the way Klopp wants, he's one of the very few that can do Firmino things as a forward almost as well as Firmino.
I'm thrilled with the job Liverpool is doing now of choosing targets and avoiding wasteful spending, but the execution and pursuit of some of those targets is an embarrassment.
I said when the medical exam stuff came out that if LFC tried to change the deal, Aulas would remind them they can walk away and he can keep his captain who their fans love. People in the Scouse-o-sphere laughed and belittled, but it seems that it's exactly what happened. It's not like it was a secret that Fekir had a serious knee injury, you knew that going into negotiations. Was never going to fly.
You all here are having your fun and I can't blame you, I would certainly be if it was a rival club. I think Liverpool is still going to be good, but this takes my enthusiasm and optimism down a peg, partly due to losing what would have been a very good player, and partly because it's summertime amateur hour again.

There is a God and Fekir has somehow risen from the dead!
I find it utterly bizarre that liverpool didn't sort out the conditions of the negotiation before the medical. Liverpool rightly should be concernd about the knee and seek a lower deal if there is genuine concern. Yet the image we are getting is that they discussed a deal, agreed a fee, he had a medical and then liverpool went back in with a lower bid based on the medical. None of which was discussed with OL before the medical.
It seems like an extremely sloppy process on liverpool's behalf.

Brundish said later in the thread that he was joking, so not sure if the doctor has read Brundish's post but not the replies, or if he knows something and Brundish was actually not kidding.
If he actually did know something at the time he posted that, he's the only real ITK on Liverpool Twitter.
It's all crazy. Just an embarrassment and a blight on an otherwise really positive last few windows.

Status update: Liverpool still without a Premier League title.
Between fans, pundits and journalists, Liverpool seem to have a million unpaid PR employees. It's been that way for decades, and it's bloody irritating.
I’ve been trying to figure out why this transfer saga embarrasses Liverpool.
Fekir had a medical. Liverpool had issues with his fitness. Liverpool asked Lyon to lower the fee. Lyon said no. Deal couldn’t be done.
I don’t see why that’s embarrassing.
It is embarrassing because as always they started leaking the transfer details before hand . Then getting the player to give interview to their official channel and going full on PR with jersey reveal without actually being done with the medical and revelations behind it all the while leaking stories all over the internet . Then trying to show off how they got the player for lower price than being written around inspite of having settled for a higher price with Lyon. Thinking they can arm twist Lyon in to renegotiating using the medical report and then being told to get lost by Lyon since the whole process was insulting to Lyon as Liverpool tried to control the whole narrative as the big boss without taking Lyon into confidence . This is total shoddy work and arrogance on Liverpool's part forgetting how they have embarrassed themselves earlier with RB Leipzig and Southampton .
I personally blame Ramos for the fail of this medical! Not Lfc’s fault whatsoever.
Yeah but apart from Liverpool fans they don't fool anyone.
Because A) you were unable to sign the player you wanted to sign who has seemingly been a Liverpool player for ages now, and B) renogiating the fee after the medical is just funny. "His knee seems fecked but we'll pay you shitloads anyway. How about 10 million less?" I mean, Lyon know all about his medical situation. There's no chance they're going to back down from a supposedly agreed fee.
This part is brilliant.We are unwilling to pay 70m euros for a player with fecked knees, we'll instead pay 60m euros. Doesn't even make sense.

Maybe insurance costs were raised because of his knee, and Liverpool wants it covered.
Exactly, why would you want to bring in a player who you suspect has injury issues? Is there really no one else out there who they can target? What's the point of paying high costs while knowing he has a suspect knee?
Poor negotiating from Liverpool, ofcourse it would've been discouraging to see the results of the medical show a bad knee, but just accept it and move on to the next target.
Think Lyon will make sure he signs for someone else now...
It's a shame, I would like to see Fekir in the Premier league and it's a bit sad for him that his medical failed him in his move. It doesn't sound promising for a long career at the top.
Between Southampton and now Lyon is it safe to assume Liverpool are worse at doing transfers than we are?
Liverpool fan and I agree with this.
The conduct of the club doesn't look particularly good from a distance. And not for the first time.
