Dear Ed001,

Do you think if we sign Naby Keita it will make up the potential departure of Emre Can on a free next year?

Or would you rather no Naby and a new Emre contract?

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea as I have not seen Keita play.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I actually don't know anyone who has watched Keita play Ed001 (youtube clips do not count) .

I have to admit, i watched Keita first game of the season and he is very good 😂

Still don't like what he did in training (though i probably over reacted at the time and he has showed a bit of class by playing games still during this saga instead of feigning a back injury) but he is different to anything we have.

He plays a bit like Ilkay Gundogan or Moussa Dembele. He looks to collect the ball from the defensive players and carry it forward at every opportunity to get a quick attack going, but he can muck in defensively too. Once he moves the ball on though, he doesn't stop, he carries on into the box to try and get a goal which sets him apart from the likes of IK and MD who tend to move it on and sit just behind their attack to offer an out ball. His natural game is basically exactly what Klopp has tried to get Emre Can to do. To be fair to Can, he hasn't been bad at it.

I thought Keita was more of a Lallana type from his highlight reels, but he has a bit more guile to his game. Nowhere near a £70m player, but that is the market. I do think he is the perfect foil for Henderson as he is very reserved and Keita is a bit more gung ho.

It would definitely be a finger in the air to Emre Can though. His Anfield career would be finished unless he could wrestle the holding role off of Hendo.

Can will still get his chances in the #6 role regardless of if Keita comes or not., MK.

Why would he want to play centre back? You are joking right?

Great post bingo, but that wrestling match for Can and Hendo should be happening for every position on the team.
Thats how a squad improves with the end result being better results in matches.
How long have we seen the Englsh national team nearly pick itself wkth the uber elite sure to be playing regardless of form.

Its self defeating in the long run.

I hope that's true MK! Big fan of Dembele!
