    Their group consists of Porto, Monaco and Besiktas, pretty even group that can go any way.

      He doesook pretty exciting and as someone said, a pretty unique combination of skills.

      One thing though, is he actually that quick? Not a big issue either way, as he's not short on other attributes But people talk like he's Mane or Salah quick but doesn't seem that much way from the clips I've seen.

        No but quick feet and world class balance means you don't need Salah speed.

        Messi isn't the world's fastest either but he's bloody quick on his feet!

          Would say that he is far quicker than any of our current CM option, and by that I mean in acceleration and flat out sprint speed.

          He is not as fast as say Mane, but still fast enough to be considered a pretty speedy player.

          What is more important that his pace though is his control and balance when using that pace, and his ability to pick an attacking pass when in full flight.

          If we get the balance right around him in the centre, then he is going to cause chaos for other teams when we are attacking, and he is a damn good player to have when it comes to tracking back and intercepting play too.
          I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

            Absolutely Jaco, its not so much raw top speed that's useful for a CM like that anyway, he seems to have much more explosiveness about his movement, the ability to change pace and surge past someone or turn & change direction quickly while retaining control of the ball.

            On form I really like Henderson, Can & Gini but none of them have that same speed of movement.
            I could not dig, I dared not rob:
            Therefore I lied to please the mob.
            Now all my lies are proved untrue
            And I must face the men I slew.
            What tale shall serve me here among
            Mine angry and defrauded young?

              That lemar kid is similar in the way he runs, instant changes of direction incredible balance and close control, just runs at a wall of defenders and skips through them.

              a midfield three of

              lemar - - - - keita
              - - - - - - can - - - - - -
              - - - back four - - - -

              removing all the weak links makes us stronger

              too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.

                      Highly doubt we have any chance of getting him in January. Even if they are out of the CL they may want him to play in the Europa League should they finish 3rd in their group.

                      Not forgetting that they may have a league challenge going on or at least fighting for CL places.

                      See you in July Naby.

                        Depends on what they agreed to but I suspect this is bang on.

                          He looks very quick off the mark & seems to glide past defenders easily.

                            Agreed

                            The only time in recent years that a player was brought to a club early that I can remember of was Holtby to Spurs in January for something like an extra £3m.

                            Even if Keita is coming to us in the summer it would be terrible PR from Leipzig to allow him to leave in January - they'd be giving the impression that their season has nothing left to play for with over four months of football left to play.

                              Yes? Maybe I'm in the minority, but that doesn't strike me as being particularly bad (once you rearrange players into their rightful positions )
                              I saw a dead fish on the pavement and thought "what did you expect?"
