Good evening

I think back in April / May it was mentioned we may have been looking at N'Zonzi, also that one of the eds seville would be open to cash in, did LFC interest move on, do we hold any interest still?

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - last I heard it had moved on and we went for what was seen as a much better option in Keita.}

Keita is a much better player.

Keita is a better player all round, but I think N'zonzi is more what we need for our midfield to free up the abundance of "box to box" players we already have.

How do you know Keita is a much better player? Scouted him extensively? I myself hadn't heard of Keita until this summer so I can't actually say I have ever seen him play football and therefore have no idea how good he is. Amazing how others on here rave about him.

Yeah, is a far better footballer, Nzonzi literally is just a clogger and has no ability on the ball, Keita is a very good technical footballer who has the hard working traits of Kante. I watched several RBL games on BT Sport last year and him and Forsberg stood out a mile. He is a genuinely good midfielder and I think is the real deal.

{Ed001's Note - woah! Nzonzi just a clogger? He is far from that. He is a very good player.}

Liverbird unlike you, I have seen Keita play since last season as I watch Bundesliga when I have the time both for RBL and he is the real deal, a Kante with better thrust and attacking ability with goals, assists and a good shot on him. Very dynamic player. I just was not sure about the 75m fee being touted cos it was too much and even RBL knows that as his release clause is 48m (tho would not apply to LFC as it is for German teams only) and that he has only had one good season in a top league in Europe (he came from RB Salzburg in 2016).
