KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Liverpool admit defeat in Keita chase.

The echo(being used as a club voice piece again)are reporting that Liverpool will not make a third bid for Keita because they will be able to sign him next summer(yeah right!)for £48M.
This could just be a bluff by us to make RBL worried that our extra money is walking away or it could be that we have genuinely failed to capture a long term target yet again after working on the deal behind the scenes for months.we have now managed to f@ck up both of our main targets for this window.i bet they don't f@ck up the sale of Couthino,they will get top dollar for him.
The season is not far away and i fear we could go into it in a weaker position than when we finished the last.

How have we fukked up the Keita deal? Not our fault they don't want or need to sell him is it?

Plan B it is then....any idea where we put plan b ?

It was our fault that we put a lot of eggs in the basket on this one knowing the guy was not for sale at any price.it certainly wasn't a success was it?they were repeatedly told he's not for sale but ploughed on regardless.now time and decent alternatives are thin on the ground.
On the plus side FSG have saved a lot of money so that's good right?

C'mon Kerny ,there's still time to sign Tom Huddleston and Michael Dawson ,chin up.

Someone would've encouraged it or I'm sure we wouldn't have wasted so much time. I also wouldn't believe we've given up. It's all hear say and all games and tactics.

Yep,it could well be a tactic to make RBL reconsider.i did read that some of the board were happy to take the money,but it all seems like the familiar story of us failing with a highly prized and chased target again.

We've stumped up plenty of cash for him so can't be accused of low balling this time. We need Keita to kick up a fuss and force the issue if he wants the move. Force their hand.

It's not wasted yet unless I missed the window shutting? Like I've said before, there must have been encouragement as I don't believe Klopp is stupid enough to waste his time.

Bild is now reporting that we have made a £73m 3rd bid for Keita.f@ck knows what's going on.
