Welcome to LFC Ibrahima Konate

[baitman]

So do I

I don't get the hype at all. He's really slow of foot and mind and seems to lack that drive to excel that the top class players have. I'd bet he's lazy as **** at training. He looks like that type TBH, but in saying that, i doubt Klopp would give him a look in if he was. Clearly got talent, but that only gets you so far.

Its probably a bit late for him now, but he could've really done with a season or two on loan to a Prem side getting regular games rather than the odd sporadic appearance for us.

I would agree.
I think if he wasnt a scouser and a potential talisman then he'd have been sent on loan already if we hadnt had the injury and lack of depth issues

Id be astounded if being scouse had any influence on how Klopp appraises his players.

[wiw]

Yep forgot him, knew there was another one

Don't forget Milner

[BigChief]

Don't forget Milner

James' son? Yeah he'll be about of age soon too.

James' son? Yeah he'll be about of age soon too.

No, James Milner He'll still be able to do a job for 7-8 more years

Ibrahima Konate talking to Jurgen Klopp before signing:⁣
⁣
“Mr Klopp, I have a question. If I was your son and he was in my position, what would you tell him to do? Klopp said, ‘OK, this club is good and that club is good, but I would tell him to go to Liverpool.’ As [Klopp] was saying this I watched nothing else but his eyes. To see if he was sincere. And I saw sincerity on his face. I said, ‘This decision will be good for me.’ And after, when you think about the other players at Liverpool, which players don’t want to come here?⁣
⁣
“Maybe you go to a club with big money but not have a good relationship with the coach. What then? You don’t need to speak to your coach every day, but Klopp, he could be my father. I know if I have a problem in my life, he will help.” ⁣
⁣
Konate on the Premier League:⁣
⁣
“It’s different, very different. The intensity. The power of the players in every team. The mentality of the teams and fans is unbelievable. And I like it.” ⁣
⁣
Konate on signing for LFC:⁣
⁣
“I made my best decision and I am very happy.” ❤️#LFC [times]

Beast mode again last night. All the hallmarks of another brilliant piece of transfer business.

[BigChief]

[Irishnev]

He looks better than Upamecano who was the higher profile of the 2.

[Fosterbloke]

And no sign of the crazy TikTok stunts since his arrival - he used that to announce his arrival and since then, has knuckled down to become ****ing good.

[SB]

He’s still improving & will definitely get better as his attitude seems spot on. It has to be with Millie setting the standard for the club.

Milner and Henderson have bene and remain key lieutenant's for Klopp. They set the standards and others follow.

The words Konate has on Klopp are really enlightening. We seem to be all about culture and the research that seems to go in to ensuring we have good professionals on and off the pitch appears to be flawless.

Then, as Konate says, you meet Klopp look in his eyes and see that the passion is genuine.

Yep 100%. Sometimes I wonder about supposed targets that we miss out on & think I wonder what we found out about their character that Jurgen didn’t like. Werner & Daka for example were heavily linked to us but we never made a concrete bid supposedly & I imagine after Klopp had spoken to them both.

Hmm yeah good point.

These are the intangibles in a transfer that is lot never find out about. Werner in particular looks to have been a good one to miss out on. Technically good mentally weak.

Remember how enraged everyone was, and then we have had zero regrets!

[red g]

i Was gutted we didn't get Pepe, who knew that the reason he turned us down as he wanted guaranteed game time was that he was actually ****.
