KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Check this little Fekir out.

He wants to leave and we want him, so seems it will happen, just a matter of timing, no other club is trying to buy him by the looks of it, this Lyon chairmen sounds abit of a nut with how he handles deals.

He does look like the natural replacement for Coutinho, comfortable on the ball, can open defences and scores goals, he's also the Lyon captain, so that bodes well.

Shall we perhaps even bid for the armband while we're at it?

Seems that he’s passed his medical and according to the FFF chief he’s pretty relaxed about the situation. Suggestions are that Lyon want to use his fee in next years figures which might be holding up an announcement. Suppose we shouldn’t have counted our chickens yesterday!

Looks like the transfer has collapsed:

Breaking news on the BBC that Fekir will be staying at Lyon. Guess that journo isn't that reliable after all?

Yeah, seemed nailed on, surprising after it got so advanced. Will be interesting to see how Fekir reacts to this, I think the French fly out to Russia today, the Lyon owner is notorious to be hard to deal with, the Lacazette deal was on & off with Arsenal.

We are usually hopeless too, so might be a really bad fit this time.

This seems more about Lyon than us this time. Their owner can be a right tw@t and if you believe reports, all was done and dusted with the fee, medical and personal terms.

But regardless, bring on the FSG bashing conspiracy theories.

It looks like everything was agreed. We saw an issue and we tried to get them to lower the price.

Didn't the same thing happen with Loic Remy?

He went on to have an injury free career
