Ive been told Sabizer is our number 1 target should Gini leaves as is looking very likely.

Wouldn’t mind sabitzer, quite a nicely rounded player. More attacking than gini but I suppose it’s the role gini plays for us that limits the attacking aspect of his play.

Sabitzer has a good shot too, could comfortably play in a 10 role in a 4-2-3-1 so would give us the option to switch the formation up.

If he were to come surely one of ox or elite would have to leave as well. Keita + cash for Konate and sabitzer? Wouldn’t be a bad but if business imo.

Why would Leipzig who are chasing Bundesliga, are in Europe and probably one of the few clubs who are still well to do despite C.V. sell their two best players?
And if they do why would they do it for cheap?
Id expect they'd be looking for a lot of money and money straight up to let any of their good players go.

For me, Leipzig's two big players transfers have flattered to deceive.
Think we should look elsewhere from we have really bought some best players i. e. from the lower end of premier league.

{Ed001's Note - because their players only join to move to bigger and better clubs later. They are built around that system, hence the general tendency to use younger players that can be sold on. They sell players because forcing a player to stay rarely works out and just causes tension and issues within the squad. Then it becomes more difficult to convince the next youngsters to join as well.}

While writing it i also thought the players might want to move. And i read somewhere leipzig is not a very well liked club in Germany.
But their last two big players keita and werner really haven't worked out as of yet so i am bit vary of konate and sabitzer rumours.

{Ed077's Note - RBL aren't a popular club with the German fans because having big corporations and billionaire owners isn't the norm in Germany. Clubs generally operate with the 50+1 rule whereby most clubs are fan owned.

Good versatile utility midfielder imo. Sabitzer would be a solid signing without breaking the bank. Konate, Sabitzer and a versatile forward (Raphinha, Thuram, Neto) and it will be a very good summer.

31 Mar 2021 11:02:22
Oh yes i read that. Thanks ed i forgot what it was. Thanks.

31 Mar 2021 11:59:46
Neto is the player I'd sign in the summer if we could.

We infuriated RBL over Keita, and it feels like we could be going down that road again with Konate too. I can't imagine them being willing to work with us in good faith unless we're willing to overpay for Sabitzer. LFC aren't in the habit of paying what they view as a premium for a player.

I love Sabitzer though and have thought for years he'd be a great fit in our squad. I'd love to see us be able to work something out, just am unsure how realistic that is considering all this.

I don't remember any issues over the Keita transfer, and I'm not sure how we could be going down the same road with Konate when all you can base that on is rumours and speculation.
Bit of a leap for me.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect it was about multiple illegal approaches by Liverpool for Timo Werner.}

I have heard we have a great relationship with them and that is how we knew about takis release clause. So to say we have a bad relationship isn't right according to what I have read. Of course I may be completely wrong lol.

{Ed002's Note - Minamino wasn't an RBL player.}
