Well lets hope we get someone in before the window shuts. Lemar or Sanches would be nice but a CB has to be a priority for me.

Totally agree about a CB, we are currently linked to areas of the pitch that don't desparately need fixing now.
This Keita deal makes me wonder what if Man City, Chelsea or Man Utd were after him, they'd be sure to get him now and not a year later. A lot can go wrong between now and then, injury or the player changing his mind on the basis of some hidden agreement we were not originally privy to! Don't get me wrong, Keita will be a wonderful addition but there are "if's" involved which make me wary!
As it stands we are going into the season with 3 additions, who've started off brightly BUT our greatest flaws still remain!

Some positive 'news' or rumours coming out today, at last!
If Keita is done for next Summer then that's the best we could of done due to Leipzig's refusal to sell this Summer. Renato Sanches would bolster the midfield options until Keita joins. I'm surprised by the Lemar bid but he'd add more pace and creativity to an already fantastic looking forward line!
However, despite all of the above which is very positive, we quite simply have to sign a central defender, it's going to be Van Dijk or nothing, but I cannot see us winning anything with our current defence! Fully agree with all of that, tying Keita deal down now is the best that could realistically be done, so I,m happy we've managed that. I think much of this Lemar talk is just talk. I'd prefer if we could concentrate on completing the VvD deal, if as reported recently Southampton are now ready to sell. Ok I know they would rather not sell to us, but money talks, and they're unlikely to bite their noses off just to spite us. Imo if we really want him we can sign him if we're prepared to pay a premium for him, and we should. Central defence is an absolutely critical area for us in this CL season.

I haven't seen any suggestions that Southampton are ready to sell Van Dijk, quite the opposite in fact?

I've been out all day and I come home to this.
Keita signs. (Perfect) he'll probably be here January if Leipzig go out the CL.
Lemar bid £55.5m. Finally showing some intent.
The Ox going to Chelsea. Strange one. He will be in the bench there too.
Have we signed a defender yet?
This is gonna be a good few days

We are slowly building a very good team. I know people are [oops] off over the last few years. But it looks like Klopp is going to get what he wants even if it means waiting. One good thing about that is that we will get good players. People are just going to have to be patient.
I think even if we don't sign a defender(vvd) this summer and we sign Lemar then we have enough to finish top 4. Arsenal are out of it and spurs go be the same. We have Kieta next summer, we will have a brilliant midfield and forward line. If we can then get vvd then we have a very good team. When is the last time we had a good team?

When our Luis played for us. Luis was actually the team though.
