The one positive for me in this Fekir discussion is that Klopp has seemingly played the long game when trying to get his number one targets. If we believe that he waited a year for Fabinho, he did the same with Keita and went back in for VVD in the January window. Hopefully negotiations pick up again later in the summer and we get our number one target.

Was Lemar that man in the January transfer window?
He can play wide, has pace, and also centrally and has a pass on him.
If we'd got him then, could he have played in the CL?

It's ok saying play the long game, but Coutinho's loss caught up with us in the end.
We'll see what happens this Summer but we surely don't want to be waiting another 6-12 months for a top target?

So what. You would have paid the extortionate fee Monaco wanted to sell him in January? Thankfully you aren't the one doing the negotiations.

I would have, frankly, yes.
2nd was attainable and we ended up getting severely embarrassed for 70 minutes in a European Cup Final, lumping aimless balls forward to no effect.
People squealing about Ramos and Karius, but I think that was the worst major cup final I've seen us play in over 40 years.

No I don’t think Lemar could have played in the CL as he’d already played for Monaco I think?

I didn’t mean wait a year I meant just because negotiations have broken down doesn’t necessarily mean we will go away and bid for somebody else. My guess is that Klopp really wants him and as such will remain focused on getting his man but maybe later in the window.

Maybe I’m just an optimist🙂.
