Hi eds,

Just heard a rumour that board members at RBL have decided to sell keita?

Any truth in this?

Thanks for the good work.

{Ed002's Note - nothing has changed this morning as far as I know. As I have explained they have made it clear that they do not wish to sell any key players and in discussions with another English side last week they stressed various points about direct contact with players etc.. However, I doubt this will deter Liverpool from making a further offer.}

Do you think Liverpool are wasting their time? I know the lad seems to have class but a) RB don't need the money. B) RB have stated time and again he is not for sale and won't be leaving and c) I think I read on here while Keita is wanting to join us he would not rock the boat to make it happen. All this being considered would it not make RB look weak and untrustorthy to their own fans if after all the talk he ends up leaving?

{Ed002's Note - I have explained everything I can on this matter.}

The deal will happen. I think just a case of agreeing payment terms. The DOF doesn't want to sell but the other board members see the business sense in selling a player they paid 15 million for last year for 70 million this year. I think it's just a matter of time for this deal and vvd.

{Ed002's Note - There has been no bid accepted at all.}

Doesn't matter how rich an organisation is, 60 million will always turn heads.

Do you mean Board members, or bored members (of this forum! )

Rangnik the sporting director who is adamant he won't be sold has gone on holiday in a bit of a huff apparently. There are members of the board who are open to a sale at the right price. At least 70m I'd imagine. Even RB won't want to lose 20m on him leaving next season.

Liverpool may be getting Keita before the end of the transfer window but one is not sure if the guy will blend and make liverpool a better team. something is working for Keita his pint size stature and quick feet draw up similarities between him and Kante so it is easy to presume. He could be the next sensation in Liverpool. Meanwhile, it is not sure.

I'd be more worried about the permanent palm shaped red mark on Ed2s face Putney 🙈🙈.

Kante = best player in league! Do me a favour! He is a nice guy and humble. The spoilt brats in the prem couldn't bring themselves to deflate their egos and vote for hazard or mani or kane, Ali. I would take all four of those over kante. Pundits were saying "it's no coincidence that chelsea (with kante) have won the league". Well. yes it is a coincidence. Conte going 352 and the genius of hazard and killer instinct of Costa is what won them the league. Kante did an amazing job in the holding role. He is a true gentleman and a scholar but not the best player in our league. Not best player at Chelsea. It's embarrassing next too Ronaldo and Co. Best player should be the most skillfull players who make things happen. Not the most destructive player who breaks things up.

Put it this way = would you swap him for mane? Coutinio? (That's ridiculous) lallana? Even henderson?
