Naby Keita

[Alex]

Absolute steal.

[banditos]

Given we will have 4 Africans in our squad, move of ACON to summer is a massive bonus.

[Alex]

Wonder what happens if we run into them in the CL?

Firmino will be Mr Lonely upfront when the African contingent depart for ACON

[RichC]

ACON is now in the Summer so shouldn't cause us mid-season pain more them coming back knackered and/or injured.

To be honest with you, plays for RBL until 2018 so isn't a Liverpool player yet & assuming that he would be playing against us if we were to come across them!

Wow that's amazing news.

Compare him to any type of midfielder and he looks great, it's ****ing ridiculous. He's got Kante numbers defensively but as you can see while Kante does absolutely nothing else Keita has dribbling numbers like a prime Iniesta or Coutinho and scores like a prime Vidal. And that's him at 21/22 compared to other mid 20s. This guy is genuinely a freak midfielder! We are so, so lucky.



And :

Facing RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita is like playing against two players, according to Schalke director Christian Heidel.

Schalke were 2-0 winners against Leipzig, runners-up last season, on the opening weekend of the new Bundesliga campaign, with Nabil Bentaleb and Yehven Konoplyanka on target at Veltins-Arena.

But Keita, a reported target for Liverpool in recent months, stood out for the visitors as Heidel acknowledged the unique challenge of tackling the 22-year-old.

"Everyone has seen that Leipzig are a top team, especially since they have a 12th player," he said. "Naby Keita plays for two, this boy is incomprehensible.

"I have rarely seen such a thing live. Even if we threw three players at him, he somehow managed to hold onto the ball."

so isn't a Liverpool player yet

I am not so sure about that medical, holding up the reds number 8 shirt .... I think he may well be technically/legally an LFC player now. If we have put out cash already, then we will have insurances in place and to get insurance, I think you have to be the beneficial owner!

I would ssy the photo of him holding the shirt was photoshopped,i can't see us doing a photo shoot with him holding a shirt out of respect for rbl.
