Hi Ed002

Can you say please if we have held any talks with Keita's representatives or his Club at this stage about a possible transfer?

{Ed002's Note - RBL has said which sides they have spoken with but at this time it does not include Liverpool. Spurs have also been watching him in recent weeks.}

This is one signing i really hope LFC can pull off. Keita will make a big difference to our midfield. Unlike Lallana, he shows up for all games and his overall qualities dwarf that of the likes of Can and Hendo.

Ok ed cheers for reply mate. Sounds like were up against big clubs for his signature.

{Ed002's Note - I understand from an Arsenal scout that the club will look to make an offer to RBL for Naby Keita in the summer but they are concerned that he would not be interested if the did not have Champions League football and if they could not give him assurances about playing regularly. He has been looked at by Arsenal on several occasions these past two seasons with interest also being shown by PSG and Dortmund with the prior interest of Bayern Munich waning although not ruled out. There has been no interest shown by Liverpool at all according to RBL but I am aware that rumours persist and I am aware that last summer they spoke with his representatives but Liverpool would not match the wage demands, the asking price not guarantee playing time. Spurs have recently been watching him and have also yet to speak with RBL. If Liverpool were to double what RBL paid last summer, come up with a good financial package, could offer Champions League football and could give the guarantees of playing time - at someone's expense, I don't know who, then they need to talk to Leipzig.}

cheers again ed for the detailed reply mate. "There has been no interest shown at all by Liverpool" Is good enough for me mate. This is why I only trust this site and don't follow Twitter Instagram Bbc Sly sports as they all have zip idea and make crap up. The only other is the Echo and James Pearce reakons were after him along with others. Shows what he knows. Thanks again mate.

{Ed002's Note - As I said, they have not at this time spoken with RBL and they would need to.}

Overall qualities dwarf Can and Hendo - are you having a laugh? Have you even watched him play? Or let me guess, you're an avid follower of the Austrian League and knew all about his quality since he signed for Salzburg?

{Ed001's Note - Salzburg? He plays for Leipzig in Germany, the Bundesliga....}

Finally a goal scoring midfielder who could also win the ball back and start an attack itself.

Ed001 I suspect hjikle is referring to fact that prior to RBL he was playing for their sister club Salzburg.

I was phil yes, because otherwise people are being even more silly making massive statements about a player based on his one season in Germany.
