Naby Keita

[Norbs]

Seeing how driven he is playing for his country just highlights how insipid he is playing for us

[Fosterbloke]

Proper FIFA goal that was!

Last minute winner.

Just sell the bum ffs

Elliot started the season in midfield and it wouldn't surprise me if he does again and Hendo is fourth choice.

That said I think there's going to be enough upheaval in the squad this summer so I can live with Keita being filler for another few years.

If he wants to sign a new contract and is happy to be a squad player that is fine, but he has 1 year left on his current contract. I am not convinced that 1) the club would offer him a contract and 2) if they did I'm not sure he would sign if he's 4th/5th choice.

He is currently 4th choice in midfield after Fabinho, Henderson and Thiago, surely we have to be looking to bring in a new midfielder who should be ahead of him in the pecking order. Given that he is in the last year of his contract if there is an ~£50m offer on the table IMO we'd be mad not to take it. IMO the only reasons not to take it are that Klopp believes that he will 1) sign a new contract and 2) improve and displace one of the others from the side, but given he has been here for 4 years and never been a regular IMO that seems unlikely. He's 3 or 4 years younger than Henderson and Thiago but that doesn't count for much unless we are signing him up to a long term contract. IMO £50m seems too good to turn down. It should go a good way to bringing in someone better.

I think given who we have available now, it would be a mistake to let Keita go. But if we're selling because we have a first teamer in mind instead, his value is perhaps too high to be backup. That said, Thiago isn't the most available of midfielders, so we're almost certainly always going to need someone to play when he doesn't

i'd let mo and maybe bobby run down their contracts. mane and keita would be free to leave if i were in charge. i've said what i think about keita elsewhere. with mane, i think his head's been turned. if that's the case, there's a the door, as it should be at lfc. doesn't take away what he's done for us, fair enough if a player wants a new challenge after giving so much.

I think that's what will happen with Mane, Salah and Firmino.

Keita I'm not sure about, personally I let him go if there is really a £50m offer on the table, but I think he might be the most likely to sign a new contract

[Fierce]

It wasn’t hilarious to me. I was fuming when he missed it. It still isn’t funny after 3 or 4 days out.

But that's because you don't possess a sense of humour

Why this level of detail for poor Baby, and not Mane? He's missed loads more chances. Some absolute sitters too

Your WUMs are getting worse our kid

Good news. As I've said earlier, with the amount of contracts ending, we can't allow them all to leave in 1 shot. If it means Naby getting a 2 year extension, I'm happy as he's still only 27 - has scope to improve (despite what you all say). It allows new younger players to bed in and grow (Carvalho, Elliot). This makes sense.

And also cool to read about you all carry on complaining about him.

No qualms here either
