Can’t help but feel that the Keita deal and Lamar bid are precursors to Coutinho going. If Liverpool were hypothetically to sell, they’d have to have their replacement deals done before-hand.

The one thing you'd fear is

Lamar = Coutinho replacement
Keita = Can replacement for next year

Feck it though for now I'm remaining positive.

Wonder how RBL fans will feel about it if Keita is put smiling in front of cameras with liverpool kit or a liverpool scarf...

Finding it hard to accept the Keita rumours........guess it will only sink in when the photo of him with the pen in the hand comes out.

Wonder if Klopp has any other rabbits in the hat for us....

Hope they put a clause in his contract that he can't play against us in the CL final

Liverpool won't be his parent club, will they? The transfer won't go through until next summer, seemingly, more so than it being a buy now and loan back situation.

If Barcelona would like to do a similar deal for Coutinho for next summer, that would be fine.

That Keita news really came out of nowhere. Read on Twitter only this morning that there was absolutely nothing about Keita to Liverpool in the German media for over 2 weeks now. Whole thing seemed dead.

The illusion that you can follow these things via twitter is quite a naive one.

Not in CL it's not. Courtois played for Atletico against Chelsea a few years back.

So can I switch back to Red Bull now? Sick of drinking Monster.

Not a peep out of the so called "in the knows" about this. The way it should be.

And Patrick Roberts scored against City last season.

Not until you see the pen in his hand signing that contract. But thank you for you support in bringing the red bull down :P

I'm certain this and Agent Coulson calling round to Liverpool's office got the deal over the line.

Will we see an official statement today?

citytillidie

Why would he be having a medical now if he is not signing until next summer? I would prefer to wait until you hear something from the club

Karius drinking red bull whilst on the bench midweek makes sense now. He was rewarded with the start then yesterday.

Maybe he was trolling us all week.

Delighted. Persistence pays off. We'll all watch him over the season now.

If he's doing a medical, and signing a contract, I'd expect to see some statement/picture/lean once that's all done, even if the start date isn't until July '18.

Hopefully we'll have something official soon, but this must be true right? Too many 'official' sources have it, and no-one from LFC or RB has denied it.

Osmosis Jones

Let's say Keita is coming in to replace Can and Lemar is replacing Coutinho, those are some pretty incredible replacements. Lemar might not be quite as good as Coutinho but he's not far off him at all and 4 years younger, and Keita is a year younger than Can and at least as good if not better. Still praying Can signs a new contract all the same.

One_Of_Shanks

So.... If Keita joins us on the first day of the transfer window opening next Summer, he'll be the only member of our squad without a champions league winner's medal.

Rumours that van dijk is set for a medical tomorrow

rob316

Just don't see Phil been sold, FSG statement was very strong. Maybe there is a figure where they don't mind looking stupid if they go back on there word, but I doubt its a figure Barcelona would pay.

Just back in the door after hell of a weekend. Mayo in the GAA to then watching redmen putting on a champagne performance in the kop. Excellent all round. Liverpool was buzzing last night :cool:

Will Canvani stay at PSG, with Neymar and Mbpape  ?

gimli2112

The negotiating team obviously made a very favourable impression with RB. Doesn't sound like us at all.

Apparently Costa is joining Atletico for 45m in January. He's joining Everton on loan until then.

Was not expecting that.

Sofa Spud

Just tried to figure out if Guinea have a chance of qualifying for the WC next year - jaysus, their qualifying process is complicated, but in short, it doesn't look like they will, so Klopp can get to working with him from presumably July 2nd and will be fit and ready (fingers crossed no jinx there) for the US tour...

Well, i think we can say we have the money. Seems an agreement like this is to help adhere to FFP 'protocol' (as we spent nothing last year).

Would be nice to get one more in before window closes.

The epitome of how Twitter rumours start.

Don't think it's anything to do with FFP, RBL just really want to hold onto him for one more year.

... and the fact that it was posted over 8hrs ago with no follow up means it's a nothing burger as the yanks like to say, or Henry's wife Linda is in Liverpool to pick up some fresh bed linen...

With the weekend's result and Oxlade Chamberlain going to Chelsea it wouldn't surprise me if Arsenal go back in for Lemar. They probably need some good news around the club right now.
