Naby Keita

That defending though............It's sub-Moreno level guff.

In fairness I think Kane got the last touch

Enough!

Odd arrangement, you'd think it should be the other way round, if he helped them qualify for CL we pay less.

Like VVD, £60m should still prove a bargain if that's what we pay.

Based on form and ladder it will likely be 52mil which is a great result!

Can he do it on a rainy Tuesday night in Stoke though

They're going down so it's irrelevant.

That league is so close though. They could move up to like 3rd with 1 win so i wouldn't read much into them in 6th just yet

I genuinely believe he will transform our midfield single handedly - I watched a lot of him before we were linked and now clips of almost all his games. He is ****ing ridiculously good and the PL has no idea what is about to hit them.

All the hype that went with Pogba - Naby is the player they told you Pogba would be.

Request for TAA to be included in a January deal for Keita ?

Sounds like BS to be honest, both from the reporter's side, and Leipzig's, even if true.

Paul Joyce of The Times claims that Liverpool will pay a further £4.25m if Leipzig qualify for the Europa League, and an extra £11m if they reach the Champions League.

Leipzig are currently sixth in the Bundesliga, with their 5-2 defeat to Hoffenheim at the weekend leaving them two points behind their fifth-placed conquerors.

Bayer Leverkusen are four points clear of Leipzig in the final Champions League qualification spot, meaning Liverpool are set to save around £6.75m.

That fee could be reduced even further if Leipzig finish seventh or lower. Liverpool would then just have to pay the initial £48m. Leipzig are one point ahead of seventh-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.

Joyce adds that Liverpool hoped to ‘bring forward the agreement’ to sign Keita in January, but that Leipzig asked for a player in return.

The German side countered by requesting for Trent Alexander-Arnold to be included in ‘any early deal’, a ‘request’ Liverpool ‘dismissed’.

But that makes no sense to stagger it on that basis.

Does Keita get part of the fee?

Makes no sense from LFCs pov or theirs.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

The only way I can make sense of it from a Liverpool point of view is;

The higher they finish, its likely he's performed to a higher standard. If his formed would have dipped and they finished mid-table, we pay £11m less than if they finished top 4 and he played well. Obviously he can play poor and them finish high but I can't think of another reason.

[EwarWoo]

The obvious way it makes sense from our point of view is they said this is the deal take it or **** off.

From their point of view if they make Europe they have an extra revenue stream so they're not as desperate to sell and they need the asset more.
