Ibrahima Konate (CB) RB Leipzig

I don’t know why I am here because I always avoid these threads. My faith in them was destroyed when after thousands of posts, the weeping and wailing started after we lost out on the signing of the Galactico that was…

Clint Dempsey.

I expect he went on to have a stellar career but I never had the heart to check on that. I was a broken man. :weary:

Thought this transfer was supposed to be announced 1st of May. Can’t remember who was saying it but thought they were reliable. When the date is got wrong maybe we are not interested at all.

Dont know that source but think it was Romano who responded to it by confirming it was true and I thought he was supposed to be reliable enough.

Is this transfer one of those QAnon things, like Trump is still the real President or something?

Romano didn’t give a date.

Maybe it’s already done behind the scenes, deals are getting done weeks and sometimes months ahead. You could’ve bet your house that a CB would be a quick one for us this year.

Who cares when it’s official, the season is still going on. We have time for announcements.

My feeling is, it’s not a done deal yet considering the way the Upamecano and Nagelsmann deals were made public.

Anyway, I’m not arsed when any deal is made public. I just want all our incoming deals completed by June so that Klopp has ample time to work with them.

Yeah, it depends from case to case.

We’ll see, looks like it’s happening and it’s still the most (or the only, so far) reliably linked player with us for the coming summer.

I have no issues IF it’s already done behind the scenes but it’s announced at the end of the season or whenever this summer, July 1st or whatever.

We’ll know when it happens anyway.

Fabrizio Romano on Konate to #LFC

“In some weeks, it will be complete.”

Maybe she should have stuck to her typo, you don’t often see transfers announced with the season still going on.

If it is done it will appear in the week after the season has ended, Monday if we don’t get Europe at all.

On the bench again today. He’s only completed 90 minutes 4 times in the league outside when he’s been injured. In the starting eleven only 7 out of 22 games he’s been available. Playing time rather sporadic. Hardly encouraging unless there’s more to it.

Not sure why we don’t get Botman instead.

I fully expect that this deal can fail as Konate will likely fail medical tests.

Could easily be because they know he’s leaving and don’t want to jeopardize the potential cash coming in.

What’s German for “shhh, we thoroughly shafted them with Keita’s fitness record, therefore we shouldn’t field Konate again or they will see through our ruse”?

You make a great point my friend. :triumph:

No. You’re confused with some other poster.

Stay curious.

Strange post all round. Genuinely.
