The hilarious thing about this is that Keita comes from the capital (is it 1.5m people) ? And Rangnick from a German 'village' of ca. 3,600 people. Paraphrasing.
They will be thankful for a fucking raw spud my man. They can use the skin to make hooch and then clothes or bedding or some shit.
drunken naked malnutrition ahoy
And yet, things have moved forward.

[article]Red Bull Salzburg’s sporting director Ralf Rangnick has attempted to clarify comments he made about Liverpool target Naby Keïta’s entourage after he claimed the midfielder has had his head turned by “a whole village in Guinea”.
Keïta, who has been the subject of two failed bids from Liverpool, has been told he will not be leaving the Bundesliga side this summer despite so far refusing to sign a new contract.
On Tuesday, speaking at a coaching convention in Bochum, Rangnick hit out at the 22-year-old’s agents and insisted that the midfielder had been poorly advised. He has since attempted to clarify those comments, explaining that he retains a strong relationship with Keïta, whom he signed for Red Bull Salzburg from French side FC Istres in 2013.
“I know Naby from the very first day when he came to Salzburg,” said Rangnick. “We therefore have a very close relationship, also to his adviser. We are in a trusting exchange. That is exactly what I said in my lecture in Bochum.
“Behind many players with an African background, and I’ve met a lot of them, there is a clan and sometimes a whole village, that lives from the help of one football player. And it’s the case that there are people behind Naby, that demand his transfer.”
Rangnick has also been criticised for his reference to a village but added: “Believe me, my knowledge in geography are good enough, to differentiate between Guinea and Africa.”
Liverpool have been weighing up whether to launch a third offer for the player who is valued at around £70m by his current club. But with Keïta’s current contract containing a clause that allows him to depart next summer for less than £50m, it remains to be seen whether they make another attempt.
Manchester City have also been linked with a move for him, although Rangnick once more insisted that they are determined to hang on to the player who was named in the Bundesliga’s team of the season in May and his team-mate Emil Forsberg, who has been the subject of interest from Milan in recent weeks.
“It is important for us that these two players play next season with us. And I can assure you that. This is the only thing I know for sure,” he said.
“Even if there are still five more offers, this will not change our position. Perhaps not all have understood this. Even if the player were a classic car, I would not sell him as a classic car. He knows that I appreciate him a lot.”[/article]
He really really doesn't want to sell, does he?
Racist comments notwithstanding, Rangnick and everyone at Leipzig have said no to selling him about a 50 times now.
Nothing seems to suggest that they will relent.
Is there really any benefit in us pursuing this any further? Shouldn't we be looking at other targets pronto? Season starts in about 15 days.

I'm sure if klopp wanted someone as backup, we'd be well underway with negotiations
I just don't think klopp wants anyone else
OK, now he totally sounds like a Nazi.
The next logical step for us would be to have somebody from the club say they "treat Keita like a slave."

Perhaps we'll still end up getting van Dijk, but this window will still end up feeling like a major disappointment.
After all the build up, I wanted some real quality injected into the squad.
That doesn't seem to be happening unfortunately.
"to differentiate between Guinea and Africa."
I think even my 3 week old could differentiate between a country and a continent ...

What is it you have against Twitter? Did you short sell a shit ton of their stock?
Not that I'm disagreeing with the point, mind...
I loved Ted DiBiase.
That doesn't say he is for sale , it says Keita will ask his agent to push for a move .
That doesn't mean Leipzig will agree to the move
And Virgil
Where's @dantes when you need a lawyer?
I'm going to retire after my last case, as the undefeated, undisputed best god damn lawyer in the city. The problem with law is that your enemies will have retired and died of old age before you get around to it. Revenge served cold was my thing when I planned it around how the great Monsieur Edmond Dantes plotted his own vengeance. But times change, I'm more digging the way Ayra Stark goes about revenge.
