Naby Keita

[Fredo]

At least we know he can do it at Stoke on a warm day.

This guy will be the best signing we have made since John Barnes.

He has "Gerrard" levels of potential in him, an awesome prospect.

You seen much of him Kev? From what I've seen he looks the real deal but i've not seen too much if I'm honest.

I follow BVB here but I saw him quite a few times last year, he never has a bad game, very consistent. Germans here where I work are shocked we got him, they had him down as Bayern bait or straight to Spain of course.

It's unbelievably good business to get him in next summer, especially if we keep Phil for this season. Keita can probably replace both Can and Phil on his own judging by the numbers

[maxwellbaxter]

Yep....we've definitely nabbed him

[Saul Goodman]

I don't claim to have watched much of him but in terms of potential and what I have seen he is the most exiting signing in a long time. Some of stuff he does is jaw dropping to watch.

[BigChief]

I can't stop feeling excited about THIS transfer window because of him.

**** timing for the pass though

[gratziani]

2018 we going to have some team, VVD and him coming in changes everything going with our already great attacking department

Bundesliga expert Lee Price, who correctly claimed that we’d agreed a future deal with Naby Keita back in June, claims that the transfer could be shunted forward – depending on whether Rb Leipzig are still in the Champions League.

If the Germans have been knocked out and are not competing for prizes or a high finish domestically, they may allow Liverpool to pay an extra premium on the £55m we’ve already agreed to secure the Guinean this winter.


“There is a chance, that Liverpool could pay a further premium to capture the midfielder in January,” claimed Price in the Express.

“It all depends on Leipzig’s domestic and Champions League progress.”

Keita would be cup-tied in Europe, but could be a huge help if we’re fighting tooth and nail for the title – especially with FA Cup fixtures added to the schedule early 2018.

Extra premium to capture someone whom we have already signed?

*read that totally wrong. Yes, would be a good January signing even with no champions league games. Could make a big difference in where we end up in the league.

[BigChief]

Still a bargain if it were to transpire.

Extra premium to capture someone whom we have already signed?

No an extra premium to get the player in January instead of July!
