Despite doubts that we would get either VVD or Keita, i remember the Mane and Gine were not Klopp's first choice and they made good. It is a team need not a need for individuals.

i really don't understand this situation we must have some encouragement from the clubs or surely we have moved on by now.
Are Southampton and RBL just talking the price up or trying to please their fans.

Ask them how much they want offer what we think is value and prepare to pay if not move on.

{Ed002's Note - They don't want to sell.}

I will wait to see who the alternatives are to VVD and Keita. But no doubt we could do with strong individual players to improve the team. We don't need anymore squad fillers.

I don't get why as fans we can't clearly see both clubs don't want to sell. Ed002 has explained this and the press has reported our rejected bids. We have offered way more than other clubs, increasing our offers is very unlikely to change that.

Only thing that could change things is if the players put transfer requests in which is also highly unlikely.

I got a feeling after Robertson we could be done till January or next summer.

Yeah but our first targets where zielinski and jo Mario.

Mane and wij where similar if not better quality.

This time where talking about a potential world class pair. Who anyone else will be a pure step down from.

Name some players attainable who are on oar with them two. Who would offer the same.

Trouble is WE can see it but Liverpool can't so there must be something the club is hearing or why we are persisting with higher bids.

{Ed002's Note - The club tapped up the player after using the press to unsettle him. They will try to force the situation but have now been very clear to stress they did not meet with his representatives in Hong Kong - as they will be aware of the repercussions of that now.}

When RBL says it does not want to sell at any price, then the only possible encouragement can come is from the player himself. If you talk to him first (notice I did not use the "t****up" word), offer him a higher salary, grandiose plans and titles, then it's obvious he's going to be all for it.

I don't see the sense in spending so much and going to so much trouble for a talented player who will offer probably only marginal improvement. My feeling is that our midfield is underrated by most people here. But trust me, Keita is not going to reduce our goals allowed from the usual 40-50 if there is no change in tactics and setup, which is where the real weakness lies. And given that this is a rumours/ transfers page, almost everyone is obsessed with the idea of buying and selling, no matter what the costs and consequences are.

I take it they did meet in HK?

{Ed002's Note - Not as far as I know and I explained at the start of the week RBL made clear two critical issues to his representative.}

20 Jul 2017 16:51:13
I get what you are saying Clee Red. Personally I don't believe the club are hearing any different. The statement from the owner of Leipzig and other key figures at that club have made it clear there stance. I think it is simply the case the club wants the player and are going about whatever means possible to do it.

Sadly some of those 'tactics' are very underhand and considered tapping up. It's a shame because we would of probably got the deal over the line by now if we just declared our interest to the club privately and stated we are willing to spend big i. e £70m+. Instead we try to unsettle the player (using unethical and illegal actions) and in hope of getting a cheap deal.

I am not hating on anything in particular but it is just fact from what we have been told countless times.

20 Jul 2017 20:31:27
Sorry ed what would the repercussions be if we did meet with his representatives?

{Ed002's Note - Potentially serious, hence the club distancinging itself from the matter.}

Ok mate fair enough. I get the picture I think.
