I don't think we need to get too down about the Keita signing fading away. we've got a decent set of central midfielders and let's be honest, who would have been thinking a few months ago that one of our main summer transfer targets would be a CM!?

If it doesn't happen it gives us more time/ money to focus on the vital ingredients which are a lb and a cb let's be honest.

Hendo being back is huge. Coutinho also playing in cm will fill a void. If we can't get keita and there are no other viable CM options i can see klopp going for another winger.

All in all, looking forward to an exciting and hopefully injury free season coming up!

How strange because you posted at the end of June "Keita wants to leave and Liverpool will have a bid of 68M + add ons accepted within a fortnight"
Just goes to show like a lot of you ITK types never trust Twitter.

I like your enthusiasm Skezza but Klopp may well want to strengthen in midfield. We will be fighting on 4 fronts and will need at least 6 quality midfielders if we are playing a 3 man midfield. If you include Coutinho as one, then we only have enough if you also include either Milner, TAA or Grujic. This is risky especially if you are using these players to cover other positions.

I also suspect Klopp doesn't wholly trust Henderson or Can as the central role in a midfield trio and that's why he wants Keita.

I'm not too down at all as I was never for signing him for that ridiculous amount. If we have a shot at him in the future then why not as he is a very talented but unproven player? We all thought Salah was gone yet as fate would have it 3 years later, he's at Melwood and is a much better player than he was 4 years ago.
