They are trying to offload their record signing on the cheap too now. Reports that he'll either go to Nice and Spurs will have to make up the bulk of his wages or that they'll sell him for a massive loss. Another masterpiece from the 'shrewd genius' Daniel Levy
Barkley is a ****ing knobhead to turn down a 5yr 100k a week deal at Everton - his own club ffs. To go and sit on Spurs bench on probably the same or less money. The lad is a ****ing nugget.
Not really idiots, they've just got ambition and don't want to conform to a Bayern monopoly of the Bundesliga.
True but they're the Leicester City of Germany. Got promoted season before last and came 2nd in their first season in top flight Germany. He's 22 and has 1 season of top football under him. £66mil is a LOT of money for that. Most clubs would sell, surely? He's Klopps number 1 target, way before VVD. Clearly Klopp see's him as the midfield man we've missed since Gerrards hay day. Our transfer window is all over the place due to this, I think we assumed we'd be able to price him to move, not looking likely now. They're stubborn at the Red Bull clubs.
Maybe next year will be your year to sign Keita. If he's as good as the price tag suggests then I hope you don't get him.
They've got loads of money. They're not the new Leicester, they're the new Man City. You probably pissed them off by tapping him up, too. Really should stop getting caught doing that.
Newcastle complete signing of teenage boy from Norwich... supposedly had a decent tourney with England's youth this summer £12m. In other news, United keeping tabs on Danny Rose.
He'll end up up Bayern next year I reckon. He has a release clause that can be triggered next year of 50mil, you would have thought due to that they'd take the 66mil. Keita also wants the move to Liverpool, he just isn't kicking up a fuss (which is good for football in general I guess). Still time for everything to change though.
