Romano has said we’re not interested and he’s reasonably accurate.

And if I remember correctly Firminos teeth is usually wrong 🤣🤣🤣.

We'll sign him IF Klopp still has any doubts?
Well that doesn't sound bogus at all.
I think Klopp would know by now what he's got planned for Keita and/ or a replacement.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Locatelli would be a Fabinho replacement and Liverpool have not made any approach at all.}

Firmino's teeth are always white never wrong.

I hate this time of year - so much garbage written about players that Liverpool are going to buy. I've lost count this season especially as we won't be buying any of them. Roll on the end of the Transfer Window - it's even more boring than waiting for VAR decisions. The only thing that these have in common is that they mosstly don't go Liverpool's way!

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - I love silly season it’s the only time I get any excitement is both transfer windows. All the married men can attest to that.

Personally, I just hope the transfer window would shut down today and we can start the season ASAP. Im done with the rumors and all other b******t.
I just want to watch LFC play. Its the only viable cure for my boring, monotonous 9-5 life.

Locatelli is the Italian Xhaka. He's aggressive, runs a lot, and can kick it quite hard. I don't see much finesse or intelligence to his game though.

As soon as Veratti was fit, he was straight out the team. He doesn't improve our squad at all because Milner can do everything he can do, even at 35. That's just my opinion though of course.

I actually think any half decent player would look good next to Jorginho and Barrella. Hard pass.

Thank you Ed002 for confirming this as utter bs.
But whether any of us may love or hate a completely spurious transfer rumour, let's at least try to write them in a proper sentence, eh?

This one is like as if someone just google translated a nonsense headline from a rubbish Italian football website. Completely missing the actual fact that Keita is one of only five players to clock over 150 minutes on the pitch from the four preseason friendlies so far, along with Trent, Milner, Sadio and Mo. Again, this is not an accident.

The Liverpool coaching staff are preparing the players that they see as most ready to start the opening games of the season. Nothing else matters right now and whether we sign one, two or zero new players between now and September 1st, our squad is still capable of beating any other team on their day. YNWA.

Jurgen Meister, i agree. I think Keita will start against Norwich.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Aug 2021 15:37:35
Of course Keita will start. Two midfield starters just joined preseason training today, and Hendo still hasn't returned. Brilliant assessment of the obvious.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Aug 2021 16:06:34
Yeah it's so obvious isn't it ArAy. Nobody knows what formation we'll play yet, or who we will buy, or who we will sell, or how much pre-season game time Thiago/ Fabinho will rack up. But aside from that, it's nailed on 🤦‍♂️.

Agree0 Disagree0

MKS. Yeah we'll find out August 14th. It's been a while you haven't apologised for talking through your orifice again.

Ed0666 - Do you not think if Taki was to be sold, Klopp would have told him to play for Japan in the Olympics? The two may have no relation to one another, but it would seem odd for Taki to have been in pre-season training with Liverpool from the start, rather than helping his country to win a gold medal in his home Olympics as one of Japan’s best players, if he was in no way part of Klopp’s plans for next season.
I may be in a party of one, but ability-wise I think Minamino is an excellent player. Where I do worry is his self-belief and athleticism.

{Ed0666's Note - no point being a baller if you have no self belief. I think klopp wanted him I’m for pre season to put him in the shop window mate.

01 Aug 2021 21:02:57
Ed666, I don’t think all this “putting players in the shop window” is a thing at least with Klopp. If he wanted to do that, he could have simply let him play in the Olympics cos that is for sure a better opportunity for this shop window thingy where actual competitive games are played with scouts potentially in the stands, rather than friendliest and preseason 5 v 5 matches, don’t you think?

IMO, Klopp wants to see if Taki can do the business in preseason to gauge his firm and allow him the chance to make his case. That doesn’t mean he won’t be sold or will be kept. I think Klopp just wants to see him up close and personal and then judge for himself cos remember, Saints are ready to take Taki tmrw if we made him available.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - I disagree mate on tne shop window thing. I’d say west ham wanted him they could complete the deal in a few days, medical etcif he was with Liverpool if he was away millions of miles away there’s all sorts of Olympic protocol etc you have to abide by.

01 Aug 2021 21:03:29
If it truly is self belief or similar, would the club or have other clubs with this problem, hire a ‘life coach’ ‘motivator’ type? I’m sure a Rugby team or International football team do this?
