Yep we picked the wrong club to do that to. Leipzig are backed by a soft drinks company that have the intention of knocking Coca Cola off their perch. We may have to go 'full Pogba' to have a chance of signing him.

Nothing if not diligent.
It's lovely be be remembered after all these years. I don't post very often these days, preferring to focus on unfunniness rather than quantity.
Don't remember your user name so you have the advantage of me however you also remind me of a poster from the past. Pasty faced chap who worked in journalism, if memory serves. Spent all day everyday on the forum being rather opinionated. Like the newspaper he worked for, he seemed to think he had a handle on the Truth.
My amazing wordsmith skills are indeed notable, however I don't actually do anything remotely connected to journalism.
Glad you're not the same poster, mate. Between you and me, he was a right prick.
Liverpool intend to consider their options over the next few days after having a massive £66million bid rejected for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita.
The Reds had hoped their improved offer for the Guinea international would have secured a breakthrough in discussions with the Bundesliga outfit.
However, it was dismissed out of hand and Liverpool are left facing the prospect of missing out on Jurgen Klopp's top summer target.
Keita is desperate to move to Anfield but Leipzig's position appears so entrenched that agreeing a deal this summer looks increasingly difficult.
Even the player submitting an official transfer request appears unlikely to break the deadlock unless Leipzig back down.
Liverpool must decide whether to table a third offer in excess of £70m having failed with bids of £57m and then £66m.
Sources close to the club have distanced themselves from reports that Keita's agent has flown out to Hong Kong for talks with the Reds.
Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards didn't travel on the tour and remains in the UK.
Edwards is in charge of all transfer discussions as the Reds look to wrap up the signing of Hull City left back Andy Robertson and sell Kevin Stewart in the opposite direction.

I think we might have to. This one's dead.
No, cos all that article really says is that the club will have to top 70m with a next bid. Kinda knew that.
That the club distance themselves from the agent being in touch with them on the tour, kinda obvious what with our recent accusation of tapping up, whether he is there or not.
It amazes me how little news there is in these articles, they're all the same few facts dressed up with a new opinion.
No no its not dead, its, its resting!
Most journalists are, Bilko
This must have come as a shock to the agents of Keita and VVD who travelled to Hong Kong.
Was it his dodgy heart ?
When asked by a twitterati whether the Firm are sure this is actually happening, the Firm speaketh.
He's not going to sign and we've done what we always do - stick all our eggs in one basket then dither around for an alternative when we get told to do one.

I don't understand why putting in a transfer request is a game changer. Up until recent times it used to mean the player would lose 'loyalty' bonuses on contract termination but given the relative gap between transfer fees and wages I doubt this would make much of a difference anymore. If the player lost £1.5m in loyalty bonus, then it would be a simple task to fix with an increase in sign on fee.
