Slight difference in Guardian's translation
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/26/naby-keita-rb-leipzig-village-guinea
[article]RB Leipzig’s sporting director Ralf Rangnick has criticised Naby Keïta’s entourage and claimed the midfielder has had his head turned by “a whole village in Guinea”.
Keïta has been the subject of two failed bids from Liverpool, with the latest – a £66m offer that would have shattered their transfer record – rejected last week. Jürgen Klopp has made the 22-year-old his priority in midfield this summer, with Keïta understood to have informed Leipzig he is keen to move to Anfield.
But despite reports in Germany that last season’s Bundesliga runners-up were searching for replacements, Rangnick insisted that neither Keïta nor attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg will be leaving the club.
“There should be someone who points them into the right direction,” he said at a coaching convention in Bochum on Wednesday.
“The boys themselves are not the problem here. It is their surroundings. A whole village in Guinea or somebody from their entourage tells the players why they must do something right away. I can’t blame the players.
“I expect them to play for us next season. Both are extraordinary players who make the difference for our team.”
Guardian sport has contacted Keïta’s agents for comment. They are understood to have held talks with Leipzig on Wednesday having met with Klopp earlier this week during Liverpool’s pre-season tour to Hong Kong.[/article]

Isn't that Kolo Toure ?
"Make another bid please Liverpool, cos we've not finished poisoning him against the club & forcing a move yet" is how I'm guessing those meetings went in HK.
You know, I hate modern football, cos I fucking HATE it when people do this to our players, & yet now we're all doing the same.
Still not leaving this camp though, esp not on a Friday night.
It's Wednesday lid
LIES.
Hahaha, actually, I genuinely did get mixed up.
It's the summer holidays, the only way I know what day it is, is because Bex is in work weekdays, but this week she's off, & it's her Birthday tomorrow so we're drinking win tonight, therefore in my head, it's Friday.
Hahahaha. Fucking hell.
I wish Liverpool would drink some win
Not sure there's any left, if FFF's "guess what day it is" attempt is any guide.
There's only seven days to choose from, to get it wrong by two entire days isn't far from just picking a day out of a fucking hat.
Tbf, we only usually drink wine on a Friday night, & cos we're having it tonight & were just discussing the possibility of a lie in tomorrow, it's easily done.
Come a couple of weeks time (middle of the summer holidays) I'll have fuck all idea what day it is any day of the week.
Would you like an 'e' with that?
I point the Right Honourable Gentleman in the direction of FFF's post
Fail a dementia screen for less than that
Rangnick's comments seem to be bringing a nice escalation as former Guinean football captain calls him a racist Nazi! Arf!
I found the car keys in the fridge a couple of weeks back (on top of the margarine to be exact) & the same day I'd already poured orange juice into a bowl of cereal instead of milk.
I'd clearly be fucked if I had to take a dementia test.
Here I was thinking that Klopp and Rangnick are friends and everything will be amicable between our clubs because of that. A month and a half later Keita is trying to break his teammates' knees and people are calling each other nazis.
They would have considered 'racist' quite the compliment.
Godwin's Law prevails again.
So 4 more pages and still no news.
The Firm are full of shit ya?
The Firm are full of shit ya?
Information travels slow in massive organisations, haven't given up hope yet
I tried to put a whole bottle of milk in the microwave instead of the fridge this morning .... I reckon it's this whole Naby/VVD/Coutinho thing doing our heads in.
It's quite endearing that you are showing all the signs of onset dementia in the manner it would be depicted in a 1970s sitcom
Steady
