Naby Keita

[Mark79]

You brought the statistics into it initially & on this thread there are pretty contrasting views on his stats vs eyeballs, so you may think he's been great for LFC but it's quite clear that alot of people don't. The way you and Pepe are going on you'd swear I was the only critical voice, that is clearly not the case.

I'm pretty sure most on here would agree that he has been very underwhelming considering the price tag which cannot be ignored. If he was a £5 to 10m signing there would be less expectation and more leeway but the fact is we paid nearly £50m quid for him and there is a weight with that fee, it's just the way it is. With marquee singings, come heightened expectations & an expectation for the player to hit the ground running too. You don't pay 50, 60 70 m quid for a guy and be happy for him to take a few seasons to bed in. That is my gripe and the reason for bumping this thread. I wouldn't really be too bothered if we bought him for a song and if worked great, if it didn't not big deal but that was not the case with the Keita transfer, we expected him to be a game changer.

I'll be honest, I do not know a single LFC supporter outside of this forum that thinks Keita has been good for us. Anyways we may have different opinions and that's absolutely fine by me but what we do have in common is that we both want him to do well in a LFC shirt

Eh? I’m not going on at you at all!

You made a response to me replying to someone else about stats.
And my initial replies to you were after you made a suggestion and appeared to invite opinions from the thread.

I know full well you’re not the only one on here or off here that doesn’t rate Keita and you’re not the only one I’ve debated it with.

Thought it was just debate about a player and not a case of "going on" at you for being critical of the player. But point taken for future posts.

Jesus lads don't be so sensitive, I didn't mean anything by it

EDIT: Merely saying it's clearly not only me who thinks this. Meant no offence by saying "going on"

No offence taken. You seemed to be getting defensive so I just explained that I wasn’t getting at you and you’re not even the only person on this page of the thread who shares your opinion

Not getting defensive at all mate, it's great to have a good debate on here without things turning. I sometimes type as I talk & if it was in person it would sound completely different. I meant absolutely no offence by it nor do I take offence to anything posted on here. Apologies to you and Jaco if it came across that way

The discussion was all good and I didn’t have a problem with the way anything was said

Ok you two break it up now and let's save the action for when you both compete in a steel cage match

Or until they are allowed to get a room.

How ****ing bad do we have to get for Keita to get a run out?

I can't wait for him to be thrown in as well just to remember everyone how he blows hot and cold and generally ghosts around when the going gets tough.
