Why I think we will sign Keita:

1. We are not looking at any other alternatives nor Klopp is interested in any other player

2. The club wouldn't want to look stupid infront the fans and world afterr missing out on a player who they have been chasing all summer

3. Our transfer budget so far has been moderate compared to other clubs

4. We have signed a LB for a very low transfer fee

5. We are not in for a wholesale changes to the first team

6. There is money which is evident by our two failed bids.

7. At some point RBL will give up and MONEY will start talking.

8. Klopp has sacrificed other targets for only two players ( Keita and VVD )

9. The club can't go for other choices ( as most of them would be priced out anyways )

10. We are fully aware we will never get him if not this summer

11. This signing would guarantee a top 3 finish for many more years to come something for which you are actually spending!

12. He might not be a need but he is a special player and you always make room for special players!

Thanks.

Guarantee a top 3 finish? How did you come to that conclusion?! Plus point 1 says we are not looking nor have any interest in other players yet you then say in point 8 we have sacrificed other targets?

Your speaking out your Ding Dong, Harry.

1. I thought Klopp said this week that he does have a plan B for everything. I would assume that was other players.

2. We looked pretty stupid with our Van Dijk efforts

3. You mean to imply we have some money

4. You mean to imply we have some money

5. You mean to imply we have some money

6. We all know about the bids. Obviously we have some money

7. Sadly RBL also have some money. It'S n0t certain who will give in first.

8. That's nice, who were they?

9. You're making this up now. Our scouting might not be good but I'm sure it's not that bad.

10. More secret information. If he's available to some clubs fro 48 mill next year, I think we might still have a chance with a 66mill offer.

11. It would help but it definitely wouldn't guarantee, even if we put it in his contract.

12. If we don't need him, we might give up before RBL. We managed not to sign Michael Laudrup after agreeing everything with him. He was very special. We did as badly with Dani Alves.

As far as I can tell, you are saying we will definitely sign him because he's really good and we are willing to spend a lot of money. What's new.

I think we might sign him but I can only find 2 reasons why and a couple why not.

Stuie,

Other targets for positions such as RB and LB (Mendy or any High end profiles, Kept Sturridge, avoided any big money striker signing). With this we have saved some good money plus we will sell fringe players to recoup some good cash. Chelsea signed Moratta for £60 mill while we signed 3 players for less than £50 million!

2. The club have done nothing but make itself look stupid all summer, why stop no one?
4. Not being other left backs had nothing to do with Keith
5. 4 new first teamers is a pretty significant change.
7. Wishful thinking.
8. Klopp has sacrificed nothing, he's just failed to get his o other targets.
9. £70m for keita is fine but everyone else is too expensive?
11. There are no guarantees.
12. Buying a player you don't need instead of a player you do is stupid no matter how special he is.

20 Jul 2017 14:48:54
Few things,

1) the left back you are signing will have no relevance to Keita
2) signing one player will not "guarentee" top three for years to come
3) you say you'll be priced out of alternatives yet he would cost about £70m
4) you are "fully aware" you wouldn't be able to sign him if not this summer. Why? Why not next summer?

Really don't understand this obsession with him. I think your ok in midfield to be honest. He's has one good season. If I was a Liverpool fan I'd rather spend £70m on a top keeper and two top full backs.

20 Jul 2017 14:51:45
Point 10 is a little odd too.

20 Jul 2017 14:55:20
All conjecture Harry.

All the above points are moot if RBL decide not to sell.

Guarantee a top 3 finish? That's an outrageous statement. Pogba didn't deliver that for Utd did he? Sanchez couldn't for arsenal.

20 Jul 2017 14:57:24
I don't think the reason we didn't sign Mendy was because we sacrificed it for Keita. Plus, i am unsure if you're meaning signing 3 players for £50m is a good or bad thing?

20 Jul 2017 16:10:44
Stue,

It's a great thing coz we haven't spend like lions! We have the money and that is one strong reason I believe we will eventually pull this deal! We are just midway into our business, I am sure we are not done yet! The plan is clear and it is Keita and VVD. Now the club can ask Klopp to change his stance and consider alternatives but I highly doubt they would do it.

How many honestly thought we would even put in an offer in the excess of £50 mill? The club did twice!
Liverpool can't spend more than £50 mill on one player all have become yesterday's joke!

I strongly belive RBL will give up! Pressure will start rolling from the player, his agent and maybe his family.

It was not a walk in the park for UTD to sign Pogba. They had multiple bids rejected! They muscled out all three lf Barca, Real and PSG! Money talks! And RBL won't be an exemption!

My view.

Harry, your initial post is all conjecture and saying NK is the best midfielder in the whole of Europe is just your opinion, which is not fact. "Guaranteed top 3 finish"? Now, that is just funny but Again, your opinion.

IMO, RBL will not sell to us regardless of what offer would put in as they have said even before last season ended, that none of their players will be sold and singled out PL clubs specifically, need not bother. They are following through with that declaration as we speak. Will they relent and give up? we shall see but I just don't see it.

20 Jul 2017 18:52:28
We may well get Keita and VVD.

I can guarantee you that if we do, it will be for NONE of the reasons harry has mentioned!
