Liverpool Rumours Archive August 16 2017

The only info i have is as follows.

The Keita info is 100 percent correct, i know for a fact that he is looking for a property in the north west, a representative from the club has been in touch, why would that be the case if a deal wasnt close, this was last week and not before.

The general concensus within is VVD will still happen, again i believe it will.

The noise from within the club is that Coutinho will stay, but who knows what will happen if we sign the other 2?

The other player that also has a chance is the Ox, but wait and see.

It wouldn't suprise me if the club are wating to see if we qualify first before spending the money, very cynical of me but would not suprise me one bit.

We are very very short of quality within the squad and i would be amazed if things don't change before the end of August.

This is all the info i have, trust me i hope it happens, because we need it.

I am not ITK or on twitter or trying gain any form of notoriety, i just happen to know people, people who know .

And i get many things wrong, but i just pass on what i am told and i get told from top top people, trust me but the football world can change very very quickly .

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Macca.

Cheers! that give me hope.

16 Aug 2017 12:53:14
Info is much appreciated as ever Macca, cheers!

16 Aug 2017 12:53:36
Cheers Macca for everything you do, keep safe pal.

16 Aug 2017 12:54:38
Cool thanks macca
Up the pool.

16 Aug 2017 12:55:41
Thanks Macca, appreciate the insight and you and the Eds sharing what you know
Can't believe that some people complain when things change and blame you!
Love this site.

16 Aug 2017 12:56:58
Always nice to have your inside info Macca. Thanx! Now that Juve has signed Matuidi looks like Can is also staying. If NB arrives though and Couts stays someone must clearly go.

16 Aug 2017 12:57:06
Thank you Macca for another update, Your information is greatly appreciated and most of us understand that things change fast in football. Again thank you as you don't need to keep passing us on info, and keeping us updated but you choose to take the time out of your day to do so.

16 Aug 2017 12:57:10
Thanks as always for your insight Macca, hope you're well mate 👍🏼.

16 Aug 2017 13:12:52
Personally I think a lot of this hinges on Liverpool qualifying. Once they qualify I think things will move swiftly on a few fronts. Just my opinion.

16 Aug 2017 12:58:44
Fingers crossed and im feeling optimistic. Thanks for the info macca.

16 Aug 2017 12:58:55
Thanks Macca. if the Ed's give you your own page that's good enough for me!

It's good to know LFC aren't completely sitting on their hands. Do you know if any other outgoing business that's likely?

Ta.

16 Aug 2017 12:59:10
Thanks Macca.

That's very encouraging.

If we do sign Keita and VVD and retain coutinho for 1 more season that would put us kn a significantly stronger position than we are now.

16 Aug 2017 13:01:36
You can only tell us what you know Macca.

16 Aug 2017 13:03:04
Macca - appreciated as always mate. If we do hold on to Coutinho, I just hope he knuckles down and reaches new levels. It still feels unlikely that we will get either VVD or Keith, but that is because there hasn't been any movement on either for weeks and their clubs seem adamant that neither will be sold. I hope your sources are right on this and both get over the line.

16 Aug 2017 13:03:55
Thanks for keeping us up to date. Very much appreciated in what has been a stressful window.

16 Aug 2017 13:05:52
always gives me hope when i read a post and then see macca's name on the bottom of the post. keep up the good work much appreciated lads.

16 Aug 2017 13:06:39
Cheers Macca. Thanks for the info, We trust you as much we trust the Editors on the page. The club won't be chasing a player for months if they are sure they would never get them!

16 Aug 2017 13:08:00
And on this day, Macca breaks the Internet. Lol. As always, the info is much appreciated!

16 Aug 2017 13:10:42
Hi Macca and Eds

Do you think there is anything in the theory that NK and VVD have both been told by their clubs that if LFC qualify for group stages they won't stand in their way, but not before? I'd imagine FSG would go for that too and would place the onus on Klopp to qualify and explain why no secondary targets have been mooted.

{Ed002's Note - Why on earth would their clubs do that?}

16 Aug 2017 13:13:10
Thanks Macca appreciate you sharing what you have heard. Those signings are exactly what we need I'm even warming to the idea of AOC as it would add abit more experience and depth to our squad.

16 Aug 2017 13:14:19
Return of the mac.

16 Aug 2017 13:14:22
Thanks a mil Macca.

If we aren't waiting to qualify to sign them, what else could we be waiting for?

And do you have any insight into Phil's attitude at the moment and how he'd be if we held on to him?

And how is Klopp and Coutinho's relationship at present?

Thanks again.

16 Aug 2017 13:22:36
I hope you are right Macca as squad reinforcements and a creative spark are badly needed.

Its not a criticism, as any team missing Lallana, Sturridge and Coutinio, would suffer. Add this to Gomes and Clyne and its virtually half an outfield team that's out in the first week of the season.

16 Aug 2017 13:23:26
Thanks Macca, we appreciate the insight you and the eds give the site. It would make sense that the club are waiting to see what happens with Champions League sad tho as the quality of those players could of made it easier to qualify with the quality they have to offer.

Hopefully club will be able to get keita and VVD (or another decent CB) and keep Couts. Would be a major turnaround for what feels like a poor window thus far.

16 Aug 2017 13:26:54
Macca we are blessed to have you!

16 Aug 2017 13:27:16
Best get kieta on my top then, number 8 free?

16 Aug 2017 13:28:07
Hi Macca,

Thank you for your insight, it is always greatly appreciated!
Do you believe a deal will be struck for Keita? It seems a bit strange that he would be house hunting when a fee hasn't been agreed between the two clubs? Are Leipzig aware of this situation?

Thanks!

16 Aug 2017 13:28:26
Some positivity Macca thanks bud! Let's hope it all goes to plan!

16 Aug 2017 13:28:30
Thanks for the update Macca, I always look forward to your posts. Have you heard anything on whether Emre Can will sign a new deal? I hope so now Juventus have agreed a deal for matuidi.

16 Aug 2017 13:30:08
Encouraging to read. As Macca states, it is an intent as of now and not a fact.

After all the drama this summer would be so good for this to happen. I really hope it does.

16 Aug 2017 13:30:26
Thanks a lot Macca, I'm clinging onto this right now as it's really looking bleak at the moment.

16 Aug 2017 13:34:47
Macca you are a class individual. Keep up all the great work and info and ignore all ones with grazed knuckles.

16 Aug 2017 13:39:00
Cheers macca appreciated as always.

16 Aug 2017 13:46:35
Thanks for the info Macca, the result yesterday was promising and I hope for sanity's sake we get the reinforcements to compete on all fronts!

16 Aug 2017 13:59:41
In fairness to Macca some great info there BUT things haven't changed, it's still the same on all fronts. It's just some more clarification. I reckon he's bang on the money with respect to the club waiting to see if we qualify fully for group stages of the CL. It makes sense. FSG are responsible owners and although they might not tip up as much money as people would like, there's no point in adding huge wages and transfer fees to the tab if we aren't going to get the revenue the CL would provide. It's good business sense.

16 Aug 2017 14:00:20
Your insight is hugely appreciated Macca - thanks for taking the time to post.

16 Aug 2017 14:00:45
Love to read your posts Macca. Really hope we pull off those two deals. Appreciate the input from all the Eds and yourself. This site is a godsend compared to the sensationalism of the MSM and social media keep it up guys.

16 Aug 2017 14:02:00
Thanks a million Macca any information that you pass on to us is really appreciated mate.
Take care and thanks Macca.

16 Aug 2017 14:09:13
Cheers Macca, appreciated as always!

16 Aug 2017 14:09:20
In macca we trust.

16 Aug 2017 14:29:07
Thank you macca and eds.

16 Aug 2017 14:32:23
As Macca states he's passing on what people close to the club think and things quickly change, I was told by someone who works for the club that Gotze was on last year but that never happened.

16 Aug 2017 14:33:46
Cheers for taking the time to fill us in macca. Good man.

16 Aug 2017 14:38:39
In response to Ed002 at 13:10, my thinking was that the clubs would struggle to justify to their fans allowing the players to leave to non-champs league clubs. They may also see a chance of keeping them if we did fail to qualify, and it may be seen as reasonable middle ground by all sides.

Just a theory. I know there's too much politics.

{Ed002's Note - You have been thinking too hard.}

16 Aug 2017 14:47:43
Oh please be right, but totally understand if circumstances change. Also to the other ED's thank you for your honest opinions. Can't ask for more than that. (Ed 025, you crack me up! Hope your lads do well, not as well obviously 😁)

16 Aug 2017 15:18:57
Thanks Macca, keeping us all sane, as do the Eds with their wonderful work :)

16 Aug 2017 16:05:58
It's all a "smokescreen" 😂😂😂. big end to the window looms. thanks Macca!

16 Aug 2017 16:05:58
Thanks for the info Macca.

16 Aug 2017 16:19:01
Everyone needs to just chillax.

16 Aug 2017 16:50:49
Don't wanna sound pessimistic but north west. Could that be city? I have heard him mentioned them. Although he also looked for a hair dresser in liverpool. He is coming eh. 😊.

16 Aug 2017 17:18:33
Thanks Macca

Can't wait to see Naby Keita in the Liverpool number 8 jersey. 👍🏼.

16 Aug 2017 17:45:44
Alansbarnett didn't get the same reaction.

16 Aug 2017 18:19:38
Thanks for the info Macca, always given in good faith and should be taken as such too!

17 Aug 2017 00:58:41
Jezza - That's because Alansbarnet still hasn't learnt that the secret to popularity is to keep yourself scarce. ;-)

17 Aug 2017 03:05:00
Every single time Macca posts I get tricked xD
Reading and reading thinking "hmm wishful, can’t see it happening" then I get to the end. See "Macca" and read the whole thing again jumping for joy haha
Cheers for the info Macca we really appreciate it :)

17 Aug 2017 08:53:12
Thanks a mill.

17 Aug 2017 14:29:55
Thank you Sir,

We're like the red arrows going forward and a decent centre back away from a good side!
