Hi Ed 002,
do you think Liverpool will sign Keita and who is pushing so hard for the transfer? The manager or The owners? thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I think it is unlikely as RBL really do not want to break up their side and sell. They have shared this position publically over and over and have made clear to his agent that this is the case.}

Looks like another bid has been rejected, have you heard anything eds? Some saying this is b. s. Sly saying third bid rejected, others saying 3rd was rejected last week and 4th going in next week. confusing much! Alternatives? Move on I'd say. let's get vvd done.

{Ed002's Note - It is as has been explained over and over.}

23 Jul 2017 18:38:06
Why are Liverpool seemingly pursuing a lost cause? Surely they must have been given some encouragement that a deal was possible to make multiple bids. Or is it misplaced arrogance?

{Ed002's Note - I am not sure how much further they will chase but it will hopefully be another lesson learned at least. His agen may have provided encouragement but by Monday he had been warned off and by mid-week the club were distancing themselves from any meeting in Hong Kong which was by then being reported.}

Cheers eds.

Someone obviously doesn't see it as a lost cause. Someone with purse strings. I would have left it weeks ago having the 2nd knock back and the "Hes not for sale" statement.

This is aimed at everyone saying "leave it" and "its a lost cause". do you think Barcelona will leave Couts alone after Klopps similar statement? Because I don't.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect one more offer then they will move on and I suspect this is already known to the player's representative.}

23 Jul 2017 19:30:15
Do you suspect this last bid to be concidered by Leipzig at all, Ed002? Read some rumours about a huge payment upfront. If true would that perhaps make thrm soften up?

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

23 Jul 2017 19:41:33
ed002 has Keita been training on his own like reports say, if so will him pushing hard for a move in the end make it more of a decision for Leipzig to make a bit like torres did for us?

{Ed002's Note - Not as far as I know. He was in the team photographs, has been training with the others and changed his Twitter picture or whatever to him kissing (perhaps licking) the RBL badge - just a thought, maybe he was kissing it goodbye?}

23 Jul 2017 19:48:46
Its really confusing me this, They are rejecting bids and actively saying not for sale, what is making us think anything will change, would the latest offer be considered silly money to get them to sell, or is silly money not even something they would look at.

23 Jul 2017 19:52:01
I know, as no club wants to sell their best player, but sometimes money talks. Well that do definite end of this story then I assume. To bad, would of been a class signing.

23 Jul 2017 20:09:11
Silly money is what has already been offered Jay.
If Klopp really wants him I'm sure he will wait and if this rumoured "release clause" kicks in next season we get him well cheaper. That's if he still wants to come this time next year.

23 Jul 2017 20:24:44
Money may talk but for RBL, I really don't see them budging one bit.
Which I admire, because he's sticking to his gun and isn't being tempted by X amount of €€€, Even if Naby hands in a TR, I stink they they'll wouldn't sell him.

23 Jul 2017 20:52:03
Suspect a lot of the stories are made up by the media
I don't believe LFC management is so dumb as chase after a lost cause
This is the time for newspapers to make nice profits.

23 Jul 2017 21:24:10
Although he would be a great addition to the the squad not signing NK is great news as no way will couts be allowed to leave now.

23 Jul 2017 21:10:02
ED your thoughts please. Keita is over, will Klopp go for a no2. target. If so any ideas who (hes claimed he won't spend for the sake of it) but Brandt was no 1 not Salah.

Hendo/ Gigi/ Can do not have the same style of play. Hendo sits way to deep sideways/ long ball doesn't drive the team forward. Can / Gigi not dynamic enough around the pitch.

Dont get me wrong all good players im judging them against Keita/ Kante, which it appears its what he wants if he's to accomodate Couts in midfield.

{Ed002's Note - I keep ansering this question. It is like deja vu. A flashback.}

23 Jul 2017 21:15:18
ed002 is Keita keen on the move or is happy where he is keep seeing so many conflicting reports you would think there must be something in there for us to keep it up for so long.

{Ed002's Note - You all seem to be treating this as the most quintessential tranfer ever. It is what has been explained over and over again.}

23 Jul 2017 21:13:22
I don't think is the end of the kieta saga. Not saying we will definitely get him but I reckon the third offer has divided rbl back stage so to speak. The German mag that reported the offer had been accepted must have got that from somewhere presumably. Management want to keep him, the money men want to sell him. 80 mil is a hell of a lot for someone who isn't fully proven or developed. He could get injured or have a poor season. Anything could happen in the kids life to upset his game. Also he could leave for almost half of what we're offering next year. As a football fan, if it were me I wouldn't sell. A business man would sell for sure hence the divide I reckon may have developed at rbl. Saying that I don't think we will sign him. A player I like and would like to see in red is siggurson. I know he is lacking defensively but that can be fixed. He is a match winner and he is begging for the big stage. Okay he goes missing in some games but arguably he has never played under a truly world class manager. Under klopp I could see him ecoming fantastic. Also he is the kinda guy who will whip in a lovely ball toward a blue *cough* Everton shirt in the last minute of a game. If we can get a top young talent and give Everton a dig at the same time all the better. For some reason he is not a popular choice here but I think he was one of best players in league last year. Maybe best player outside the top 6.

Money may talk in business but RBL is the wrong team to mess with. They have as much if not more money than City due to their sponsor (Red Bull) and money is of no issue to them. They don't need to sell at any price as they can pay the wages needed to keep their players. They don't need the money and neither do we need the money regarding Couts. Therefore, Keita will not be coming here and Couts will be staying here. Time to move on.

With how quickly we usually move on to Alternative targets if;
A) we get priced out or
B) another team comes in and offers sh! t loads more.
There must be surely some cause for us continuing on with our pursuit?
We don’t usually fight for players we want, let alone a top class player so i’m feeling very optimistic about it (and even VvD but not so much)

Hope you're right Phil. Barnes reckons it could go down to deadline day. Hope he's right too.
