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

Rumours it's the knee injury he had. He did play most of last season but if the long term outlook isn't so good it might be what's stopping it?

Maybe this will continue through the summer so we may get that imminent signing eventually.

I think it was all done. The fee and wages we're all agreed. The medical was expected to be a formality. Wouldn't surprise me if we went back and said as he is a bit broken can we have a discount please?

This does seem to have been ended from the Lyon side, if something was found on the medical, maybe we have gone back on the price, wouldn't surprise me.

Klopp doesn't go in lightly for a player, so wouldn't surprise me if it's not over yet, depends on the player also, sounds like the deal with the player is done, so it's just agreeing terms with Lyon, doesn't feel over yet.

There are lots of in the know people close to Liverpool saying the deal was all done, so will be allot of embarrassed press people have their credentials questioned!

If there are concerns over his fitness then we're right to try and re-negotiate. Just a shame it had to go so far first. I'm not convinced it's over yet though. Get the WC out the way and we'll be back in.

Lyon's president is not going to give a penny discount. What was Edwards thinking if it's true? Looks like we can get Balotelli

Fekir having a cracking WC won't give us any discount either.

This deal is dead now.

Let's move on to the next target, shall we? Or maybe that's for the last day of the transfer window.

If a club stops a transfer, then we should just move away and leave them be.

Shame we couldn't keep it as quiet as the Fabinho deal.

Chelsea will probably make a move now and offer the full amount.

I'd be surprised if we don't sign him. Probably get him in January.

Why is it that every time someone says something negative about FSG you get your knickers in a twist?

Isn't it true that we have a history of making a mockery of many deals when they seem to be dusted and done?

Since we are fans and don't have any inside knowledge it's a lot of hypotheses and thoughts of course, but the facts are there for all to see.

We are messing things up one way or another, even when we seem to be on the home straight with all the cards in our hands.

It's well known the Lyon Chairman is an abrasive character and tries to get as much as possible. The same thing happened to Arsenal with LaCazette they thought they'd struck a deal, medical done and then Aulas started messing around...it wasn't until 4 days later that LaCazette was confirmed an Arsenal player.
The same thing happened to Chelsea for Essien...it wasn't until 5 days later that he was confirmed a Chelsea player.

Problem we have here is that Aulas is trying to draw this out so it goes to beyond the World Cup and a potential bidding war which means more money if Fekir does well.

I have no doubt FSG have also played hardball because once they knew Fekir wanted to sign it was the green light for them to lowball...move the goalposts, in the hopes Fekir and his Agent can either compromise with Aulas or reduce their personal demands.

This could end up another layaway, where we may have to wait until another window or we may even lose him altogether with somebody else potentially coming in and gazumping us.
