Kite

That Philips lad in CB looks very comfortable

They do sound desperate to sell though. All the stuff on Fekir seems to be coming from them, "we have a deadline", "it may still be on", "we would consider renegotiation" and so on, keeping him in the news as much as possible

Not sure where Coutinho's replacement fits in, if Keita is not being considered that replacement himself - we'd be spending 100m on a bench player, hard to imagine who fits the role. But obviously Fekir wanted to come so it clearly is possible, just I imagine quite hard to find the right candidate.

Hope his recovery goes well

Thought the ref really gave that a lot of consideration today, re the pen: big call, and went with the underlying theme of giving the advantage to the attacker theme, probably, most likely, not deliberate hand to ball but the hand was used to prevent the ball getting into a very dangerous area - overall, I think a fair call. And overall VAR itself, has really shook it up an a really good way, been a great tournament.

That might be a boob

340 million for a 33 year old player is madness.

It was interesting that, certainly setting an early benchmark. Perhaps with the early onset of transfer window closing he's making it especially clear, perform now or gone ...

I said the same but to be fair, it isn't like he just had a complete mare for reasons all of his own doing, there were serious mitigating circumstances. I think if we can't find a better keeper, then we're still serious, just we didn't find a better keeper (i.e. by that I mean, one that Klopp wants, as opposed to everyone, cause admittedly everyone looks better at this particular point)

What a f***ing shame that

Bit s***e saying its good news, keen player blighted by very bad luck, it's unfortunate what happened there, for all concerned really.

Some enjoyable bits to David Squires take on it all today ... https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2018/jun/26/david-squires-on-hostility-culture-and-nordic-noir-at-the-world-cup-brazil-germany-var

That Lyon president is a complete blert: “he” put a stop to the Fekir transfer as it was taking too long? It was taking a Friday ...

Number 22 is lovely. Definitely get rid though.

goes missing in big games?

Just how often have you heard of a club asking for a second opinion on a player who had passed their medical?
