Final week of the window and the international break.
Let's get weird.
Liverpool all-in on Lemar and Virgil.

They keep saying Coutinho won't be sold, but if Lemar and van Dijk are brought in, he'll definitely go. A trade I would make any day.

I don't think Coutinho is being sold, which is why they are okay waiting a year for Keita. Coutinho will go next summer.
I'm done with Coutinho, too injured to play league and champions league games for Liverpool, but ok to play for Brazil.
What a crazy window.
Who would have thought?
We were just looking at a possible Verratti to Barca move, and Auba overpayment and a potential Mbappe move.
Now, it's all out war out there.
Neymar breaks the transfer record, Mbappe and Dembele are 2 and 3. Morata and Lukaku get bought for 80 MF' M. Each. Barca is desparate. They buy Paulinho for 40 MF' M. Liverpool rejects a crazy 150 MF' M for Coutinho, Monaco is selling 50% of its championship team. City spends money like crazy on FB, not a single CB coming in. They got rejected by Mbappe, Arsenal, etc... Arsenal who might have to sell Sanchez, Chamberlain and Ozil in two days. Lacazette about to join Atletico but transfer ban sends him to Arsenal instead... where he doesn't even start in front of Welbeck. Real makes ZERO move. They just sell James to Bayern and Morata to Chelsea, racking up money in the process. Chelsea, coming off a major season, barely spends (except major overpayment for Morata) but sells Matic to United. Spurs don't make move, get thrashed in the papers by one of their own players, immediately sign someone, anyone, even if it's not a positionnal need.
What a crazy window. And it's far from over yet. Liverpool are trying to build something big, PSG are trying to get that one last piece (DM), Seri to Barca has to be done, just for the feel-good story, United are trying to get Bale, Sanchez and Ozil could move, etc, etc, etc...
Really, from what I've read he hasn't done much since his brace on his debut.
Can't see how it's a dick move by PSG to propose 50M for Seri. They REALLY need a CM, and Barca are nitpicking for 10M€.
Who's the dick?
I don't think he faked an injury. I think Liverpool was doing damage control. Cat is out of the bag now though.
-I'm curious about the Keita signing. Weren't they looking for something like 80 million but they agreed to 50 million for next Summer? Is his contract coming due? And is there a stipulation on his fitness in a year?
-Where is Lemar going to player at Liverpool? LCM? I feel as though he'd be in Sane's spot.
Very probable. Not sure why everyone assumes he was faking an injury.
He has a release clause next summer for 48 million pounds. They're going to pay a little more to make sure they sign him, and he took a medical. There's probably something in there regarding his fitness, but what's good is that he's a great player and Leipzig can't bench him. Just hopefully he doesn't suffer a catastrophic injury.
Can has been playing LCM because of this Coutinho thing and Lallana injury, and he's out of contract and not signing. I'm pretty sure he's the one to be dropped, but neither of the central midfielders necessarily play LCM, they're constantly changing positions. Can't drop any of the front three, especially not Mane. For some reason Klopp loves to have wingers and attacking midfielders play in central midfield. I assume it's because of the running capability and how quickly they move the ball forward, and because they know what to do in the attacking phase.
The doctors for the Brazil NT said his back hurt because of stress.
Not joking.
Keita has a release clause for 50M next summer. Liverpool ensure that they will sign the player next summer even if he has another stellar season; after Liverpool's premium payment, Leipzig get close to the 80M they were asking for this summer in total but still get to keep Keita for another year.
