Danke für die Zsfg. Das zweite Tor von Stu war ja mal echt stark - wegen solcher Dinge will ich doch noch immer irgendwie beim LFC sehen. Was könnte nur sein, wenn's diese verdammten Verletzungen nicht gäbe!!!

 

Ein interessanter Artikel von Paul Joyce zum Keita Transfer - anscheinend waren wir da schon echt lange dran und Sadio hat ungemein gute Überzeugungsarbeit geleistet

 

PAUL JOYCE
The inside story of how Liverpool signed Naby Keïta

Paul Joyce, Northern Football Correspondent
July 2 2018, 12:00am,

Liverpool’s first impressions of Naby Keïta proved underwhelming. A scout had been dispatched to Red Bull Salzburg’s Champions League qualifier against Malmo in late August 2014. The Guinea midfielder was earmarked to start as the Austrian side sought to protect a 2-1, first-leg advantage.

Keïta, 19 at the time, had joined the club that summer from French side Istres on the recommendation of former Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier and word quickly spread, after an instant impression on the training ground, that he would be one to follow.

Salzburg were gaining a reputation for nurturing young talent with the club preparing to offload another African starlet in Sadio Mané, who was joining Southampton for £11.8 million and therefore not involved in the game in Sweden. To a certain extent, neither was Keïta.

The youngster in the No 8 shirt was booked, then hooked at half-time with Salzburg losing 2-0 before Malmo claimed a third goal late on to seal their passage into the group stages of the competition.

Mads Jorgensen, a former double title winner with Brondby and whose older brother is the former Denmark international Martin, was the Liverpool scout entrusted with checking on Keïta. While few conclusions could be drawn from that initial spying mission, his is an occupation where knee-jerk decisions can prove costly.

It was Jorgensen who was tasked with continuing to detail Keïta and the dossier he built up on the player from Conakry had become filled with enough positives by mid-2015 for the club’s senior scouting team of Dave Fallows and Barry Hunter to become more heavily involved.

Keïta had been presented as an option for Liverpool to sign in the summer of 2016 at the end of Jürgen Klopp’s first season in charge, only for the barriers that made his subsequent pursuit long and drawn out to emerge.

He had a long contract at Salzburg and the plan within the Red Bull empire was for him to move onto RB Leipzig. Georginio Wijnaldum was recruited by Klopp instead for £35 million from Newcastle United.

Yet all those forensic scouting reports, the building of relations with Keïta’s agents, Arena 11, who also represent Mané, have proved crucial in finally landing a talent, who officially becomes a Liverpool player on Sunday.

Bayern Munich wanted Keïta, whose first season at Leipzig marked him out as one of Europe’s up and coming talents, but Liverpool were able to make a sustained sales pitch for the best part of a year, stressing how under Klopp they were building a young, exciting squad into which he would fit seamlessly.

It was here that Mané helped directly in selling the vision in a way Bayern could not. He was able to describe to his former team-mate and friend how the club had treated him, how they had kept promises following his own arrival from Southampton in 2016 and offer insight into Klopp’s methods and how he will extract more from him.

Keïta has played in a variety of positions for both Salzburg and Leipzig — tip of a midfield diamond, side of a diamond, No 6 and No 8 — and that flexibility appealed to Klopp. Depending on what formation the Liverpool manager selects this season, it is likely Keita will play in a number of central midfield roles.

Statistics published this week offer a flavour of what he will bring. In 58 Bundesliga games for Leipzig, he contributed 150 dribbles, created 79 chances, scored 14 goals, made 12 assists, 118 interceptions and won 146 tackles.

“He will join an already incredible squad,” Ralph Hasenhuttl, the Leipzig coach, said. “But if there’s one player I don’t have any fear that he can make it at every club in the world, then that’s Naby.”

That he is finally arriving on Merseyside owes everything to perseverance, and innovation, in the transfer market as Liverpool’s sporting director Michael Edwards first entered serious discussions with Leipzig counterpart Ralph Rangnick 12 months ago.

The Bundesliga side, newly qualified for the Champions League after a stellar campaign from Keïta, made it clear that not even an offer of €100 million would break their resolve to keep him in the summer of 2017.

And yet Liverpool ultimately ended up striking a deal that has cost them £52.75 million during that same transfer window.

There were a number of factors that prompted Edwards to propose the agreement that would kick in 12 months later. Internally, Liverpool were pursuing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and felt that after a period of adaptation he could play No 8, while the decision had been taken not to sell Philippe Coutinho despite Barcelona’s interest.

In the short-term Klopp was content with his options, but Liverpool recognised, too, that young, dynamic central midfielders were scarce and the thought of leaving it another season with no agreement in place could have opened up the market to the remainder of Europe’s elite, making negotiations potentially more complex.

As it was, Liverpool still tried to bring forward the deal.

Coutinho’s defection to the Nou Camp for up to £142 million in January prompted Edwards to make contact with RB Leipzig again only for two obstacles to rear.

Rangnick, as revealed by The Times, delivered a curve ball when asking for England international Trent Alexander-Arnold as part of the deal which Liverpool were never going to entertain.

Furthermore, Leipzig were seeking a €30 million premium on top of the agreed fee to release Keïta which did not make financial sense to Anfield’s power brokers. Keïta would only be available for the final chunk of the season, would require a bedding in period and had already played in the Champions League and so was cup-tied for the competition. They had waited four years, another four months would not represent too much hardship.

Liverpool do not report for the start of pre-season training until today, but Keïta has already taken part in early sessions at Melwood at his own request.

All those scouting missions, the building of relationships behind the scenes and the complex transfer negotiations already feel worth it.

Die Tore von Wilson waren auch sehr stark. Und dass die Fans Karius gefeiert haben finde ich großartig

[goleador2000]

Eine interessante Transfervereinbarung zwischen Kloppo und Stevie:

Zitat

Rangers will have first refusal on any young players Liverpool want to send out on loan.

It is understood a deal have been struck between both clubs’ manager, Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.

The partnership has already seen Ovie Ejaria move to Ibrox on loan and Jon Flanagan join on a free transfer.

Tranmere Rovers vs. Liverpool FC 2-3

https://www.thisisanfield.com/2018/07/tranmere-2-3-liverpool-reds-stutter-in-pre-season-friendly-of-two-halves/

Nach einer starken ersten Hz. mit einer komfortablen 3-0-Pausenführung (Camacho, Ojo, Lallana trugen sich in die Scorerliste ein) erstmals mit Keita und Fabinho gemeinsam auf dem Feld, agierten die Reds nach Seitenwechsel sehr fehlerhaft und und mussten auch dank dem (bereits bildlich geposteten) erneuten Patzer von Karius im Finish noch 2 Tore zulassen.

2 verschiedene Hälften. Über die zweite wird wohl in den nächsten Tagen noch länger zu reden sein...Ward nach 45 Minuten mit einem clean sheet, während der vermeintliche 1er-Keeper Kloppos beim ersten Gegentor erneut nicht gut aussieht u. in div. Foren schon wieder ärgstens kritisiert bzw. angegriffen wird...

Shaqiri dürfte nun wirklich konkret werden. Könnte mMn eine gute Verstärkung hinsichtlich Kaderbreite sein. Mehr aber auch nicht.

Sehe ich ähnlich. Ist aber auch eine Barriere für Jungspieler wie Wilson, Ojo etc.

Dennoch eine Verstärkung die durchaus etwas bringt und quasi kein Risiko ist.

Bin jedoch immer noch zwecks Laufbereitschaft und Pressing skeptisch wie gut das wirklich geht, aber wie gesagt ich würde ihn für den Preis auch holen, er hat definitiv Erfahrung und Klasse.

Karius gestern wieder mit einem Bock. Man muss auf der Torwartposition aktiv werden. Das war´s leider für ihn. 

[goleador2000]

Das Liverpool Echo, der Guardian und der Telegraph berichten übereinstimmend, daß wir mit Stoke Verhandlungen über einen Transfer von Xherdan Shaqiri (26) zu den Reds aufgenommen haben.
