For those that don't know about Nabil Fekir. He is left footed, strong, a very good dribbler with great balance (low sense of gravity with strength - can hold the ball up well), a great touch (flicks and tricks too!), fairly quick, he can score free-kicks and has good crossing ability. He would be very good with Keita and another defensive-minded midfielder. He could cover Firmino's position up front. He reminds me a little of Luis Suarez tbf.
Similar-ish. I think Coutinho is probably better from deep. Fekir doesn't have as good passing ability but can certainly track back and win possession to hit a counter (ala Firmino). I'm a big Timo Warner fan but I feel Fekir is a better fit. He contributes more to the team and takes players on directly.
The reliable Mohamed Bouhafi has confirmed that Jurgen Klopp is keen on Dembele and is looking for a loan with an option to buy him. He also confirmed Liverpool have genuine interest/talks about Fekir. via (/r/LiverpoolFC).
Hows he reliable mate? Never heard of him personally, just seems like a bog standard journalist? Hope he's right though!
Liverpool have spoken to Juventus about a deal for 31-year-old Sami Khedira during negotiations over the free transfer of fellow Germany midfielder Emre Can, 24, to the Italian side. (
Yeah the only problem with that is lfc are not in any negotiation s with juve over a free. frees are player and club only.
stop being picky & bringing tricky little things like facts into "journalists" musings #pedanticasever
Your description sounds a bit like Coutinho too. I suspect that might be on Klopps mind as taking his spot in the Fab 4. Oh... And I'm late... Looking back you've already discussed that.
He doesn’t have Coutinho’s vision and passing IMO. He’s excellent at dribbling and using his body to protect the ball and quickly get away (similar to Coutinho in that respect). Either way, he’s an exciting signing for us and the rumours are getting stronger. I also hope we want Dembele as well - loan for two years with option to buy.
This is so underrated unless you see it! This would give Firmino a bit more freedom going forward, either to drag players away and create space or actually let Firmino play his no.9 role. When someone mentioned Fekir to Klopp, he shrugged it off and mentioned next they'll say we're in for Dembele. It would be unlikely that he'd drop another target's name tbh (then again, he could be ****ing with us). If we get both then that's another 'statement of intent'. Would be incredible.
