Just beat me on Keita. Rumoured he was having a medical the Spire this AM. Nothing concrete and L'pool's the worse for rumours.

Everyone from Joyce on down is running that now.

Yep apparently paid a fair sack over next season release clause. Good signing for Pool!

BBC just confirmed it!

Excellent signing. No wonder Liverpool are happy with Can's situation. They are covered no matter what from when he leaves. Lemar in to replace Countinho woukd be excellent business
 
Seems like a good deal for everyone, pool get their man for not as much as they bid earlier to make up for the delay, Leipzig get over the release clause and ensure he leaves the league and doesn't help Bayern and Keita gets his move
 
Thats Emre Can gone then. No way he is staying beyond the summer with Naby keita arriving. Would make zero sense for him to sign now.

Why? It's a squad game and he's a big part of that. You need 17/18 players all on a similar level. It's no longer about 1-XI. Going into this season, would Can of been part of an ideal three? Probably not. You'd of had Handerson, Coutinho, Lallana. With Can and Wijnaldum first back-up. But he's not been refusing to sign anything and the contract is there to be signed. This changes nottin'.

Mate all I'm saying is if he doesnt sign a contract by the time the window closes he is off. It's a squad game that part is true but at the same time the manager's going to have an idea of he's preferred eleven, it would be naive to not think that. Especially with Can's gripe being playing time. There comes a point when it doesn't become conpetition for places, what with 6 midfielders competing for three places. It's a shame really as him and Matic have been the best midfielders in the league so far.

The time to start worrying about that is if we're approaching January 1 and he's not extended.

I firmly believe he will but right now it's not a big issue at all.

The club and manager aren't worried he won't extend. He's made absolutely zero waves. No need for any of us to be.
 
Scouse how confident you of getting Lemar before the deadline? If the latest report is true that Monaco would be more tempted if you offered (which you seem willing) someone like Origi in the deal.

Personally just waiting for van Dijk to be announced. But I've been patiently waiting for that since before the last game of last season so yer know. :).

Just posted in the transfer thread that 'if' a second offer has gone straight in of a reported £64 million, I can't see Monaco turning that down. And if the sweetener ends up being Origi who they apparently really like the look of aside from this then all the better. Personally, I'd be sorry to give up on Origi. But he has regressed terribly for all his talent over the past year and has started this season out just as bad. And you add Solanke being the complete opposite and looking every bit the confident, natural, smart striker you wouldn't hesitate playing the PL/ CL, then he's fast falling to the outside looking in. Might well be best for all parties.

As for Lemar, outside of him looking brilliant on cut-ups and everything I read describing him brilliantly, I honestly know nottin' about him. But if Klopp is willing to bag him for this sum for the long haul, then he must feel he's a perfect fit all round.

*Edit* I think it's telling they've immediately gone straight back in with a second offer if that's the case. They must have an idea what it will take.

I don't know about Lemar being a perfect fit, I do know he would be the closest realistic replacement to Coutinho and he is an excellent player. I think it's less likely to happen than not, but Liverpool know they are out of time to dilly dally
 
All these players supposedly coming in. I wonder if its the green light for the Coutinho sale...
