If the strong Naby Kieta rumours are true that is our mid field sorted.
Pity we look like missing out on Sessegnon but there must be other LB, s about. Another top quality CB should also be on the list.

We obviously do have an interest in Keita but he is honestly might just be out of our reach when it comes to how much the asking price for him will be.

I would rather concentrate on the bigger issues with our squad. LB, RB and another wide forward. If Sturridge does go then another striker.

Spending what is going to be required to bring in Keita might have to see Klopp losing out on other signings unless FSG are confident that Liverpool are not in line to make another loss in the next financial results. That could see Klopp being given an open cheque book.

Getting into the group stages of the CL and then hopefully making it into the knockout phase will see Liverpool bring in loads of revenue. This summer will be a case of russian roulette, especially when we still need to get into the group stage of the CL.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has spoken with two of his representatives but have still not spoken with RBL.}

Who said we are missing out on Sessegnon? No new updates about him in the last few days. Keita would be great but an expensive option. There probably won't be enough money to buy a new striker or Cb if we splurge 50 million one player. Still I think Keita will be a world class player in a few years time. There is something special about the lad everytime I see him play.

Hasn't the eds said on more than one occasion that we hold no interest in a new? Luan Brandt keitia sessengnon and Pereira would be a cracking summer for me.

Ed002, so obviously Liverpool know the demands of the player.

Keita is at a club which can offer CL league. Guess this situation will only become clear when Liverpool confirm there place in the CL group stage as one can only assume it will be pointless for Keita to move to us unless we can offer what he currently has. No point making an offer to his club if we cannot at this point accommodate the players needs.

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea whether he would want to wait until the end of the window and he has no assurance of CL at this time at RBL.}

So we have spoken to 2 of his representatives ed, I guess that's a start. Still need to talk to RBL like you say. I guess that usually follows aftrr talking to his reps.

{Ed002's Note - If RBL are interested in talking. They don't want to sell which is what another side has been told.}

Sorry Ed002, thought RBL qualified for the group stages already. Obviously it is now down to Liverpool to approach RBL if they want any slight chance of making a deal happen then.

Same goes for Brandt.

I guess a 3rd place finish would have made things that much easier for us.

{Ed002's Note - It is not as simple as that for RBL due to RBS also qualifying.}

Sounds like it could be a hard deal to get done, can't fault there stance on not wanting to sell there best players. Is there a release clause in place also.

{Ed002's Note - A release clause would be of no relevance. You need to forget about them.}

Ok mate thank you for the update as usual. I guess will see what develops. We must at least think a deal can be done if we are still persuing him. I just hope we are not held to ransom.

Hi Ed002 - What would the talk with the 2 of his representatives entail? Wages, If he would be keen to move?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, broadly those issues. And about the sort of figure RBL would look for if they could be persuaded to sell.}

Do you think they might be persuaded ed, money talks I guess.

{Ed002's Note - They certainly don't need the money.}
