Just came to the site and saw this at the top of the LFC page and thought it was someone having a laugh, just checked the BBC and seen it on there!

Baby Keith

Shame he isn't coming in for another year but still, getting him for £48m rather than £70m seems like good business

[danperkins]

Great signing, gutted he won't be playing for us until next season.

WTF is going on here. I nipped out to buy a Diamond tipped drill bit. So have we signed Keita and Lemar and Sanchez?

Still only 22 as well, if we get Lemar and a CB (VVD) then what a summer this has turned out to be. If we keep Coutinho and manage to reintegrate him too, then we have every chance at being successful.

its mad hes agreed to this, how does he benefit? Us not signing someone else?

He could have the pick of the European elite next summer, and he's chosen to tie himself to us when there are about a dozen better clubs than us

Fwiw i don't think couthino will stay .....imo these are replacements then he'll be sold....he's burned his bridges imo...but let's see

I think legit early interest counts for a lot. Klopp apparently chased him last summer too and when a player knows a manager has that much confidence in him it it means a lot. I'm absolutely buzzing

Finally, been waiting for years for a central midfield signing like this!

[spud_gun]

Wouldn't surprise me if we see him hear by Thursday or January.

It certainly feels that way, we've seen it done in the past, Everton have done it this summer for example. Its sensible to spend money before clubs get wind of you being £130m richer, look at Barcelona having to pay such inflated prices.

I'm still hoping we bring a CB in because Lovren is the clear weak link in this team, he'd be decent as a back up but anything more is beyond him I'm afraid.

[Buzzo]

SSN finally announcing Naby.

Benderesque from the only 24 hour Sports News channel.

Pmsl I hope this is true,just saw a post on fb saying Barca made a £75m bid this morning for keita only to be told by Leipzig that he was in Liverpool having a medical
