The way Can has been playing, I really want him to resign and I'd absolutely hate to lose him for nothing, but better than trying to force a move while still on contract.

Getting way ahead of myself and dreaming but could you imagine a midfield in a few years of Lemar/Coutinho, Can, and Keita.

What is the draw of Juve?

And is it simply a money thing? Just haven't paid a TON of attention to the Can saga. Surely we can pay him as much or more than Juve?

Serie A is 3 runs down from the EPL, why would he want to go there? Bayern or Spain, I get it but Juve?

I mean that's a hell of a historical side to be a part of. Can't blame him

quote:

Liverpool are also exploring numerous other options, none of which are related to Philippe Coutinho’s future. Coutinho will not be sold under any circumstances in this window, regardless of whether Barcelona launch a fourth bid.

And that's from Chris Bascombe's most recent article. Just further confirmation with all the action happening.

He also says we'd be willing to pay whatever it takes to get van Dijk but still not sure Saints would be willing to sell.

Two champions league final appearances in 3 years could have something to do with it. Juve is a giant club with a worldwide following

yeah, Juve are one of the best clubs in the world right now and historically...

I see the appeal, but he looks like he enjoys playing with this bunch of guys a lot... hopefully it gets sorted out soon...

edit: Also, I'm sure we can pay more than Juve, though he may get some big signing on bonus if he comes on a free...

And we aren't?

Serie A attendance has been terrible for 20 years. It's not the same league it was in the 90s.

Sure they've had a bit of resurgence lately but I guess I'm still not accepting of our own dwindling success over the last 5-8 years.

I think it's hilarious that Barca inquired about Keita today only to be told he's signing for us...

Not sure if this is true or not, but I hope it is..

They're quickly becoming my least favorite big club.

F-off with all that.

Ill be looking for the Klopp to Barca rumors starting in about January.

Reports of Liverpool informing Barca we WILL sell if they meet the ?£145M valuation AND we have a suitable replacement lined up (Lemar)...frick off Coutinho. I hope this Madrid dynasty lasts another 10 years.

Naby Keita premium expected to be about £3m - final figure around £51m.

ESPN reporting to. Granted those fools said Cou was done 2 weeks ago.

If we get 145 for him with Lemar lined up, I'm good with it. Don't think he value can go any higher than that and if he wants to go, don't want him around poisoning the locker room.

Good, not a big fan of ox. If we can bring in Lemar and VVD this was a massive step in the right direction. Add keita next year and continue to add depth and we're going to make a run in the UCL. The attack is already reminiscent of Klopp's best Dortmund sides. I'm giddy over the Keita news, if we add VVD and Lemar I'll have to consult the Dr. for my erection
