Dortmund have signed Yarmolenko
For round about 20m it seems.
Would have liked going for him. Offers pace, trickery and is very direct and effective from either flank. Not what we need I guess

I think that's ridiculous. Imagine if he gets a serious injury? I know the chances of that are slim but paying 48m for a player but not adding him to your squad now is a bit silly.Paul Joyce of the Times says: Liverpool agree club record deal with RB Leipzig for Naby Keita which will see him sign NEXT SUMMER.

Edit: follow up
Keita having medical today. Officially joins on July 1, 2018.
Lvpl paid premium now on top of next summer’s £48million release clause.
Keita is an incredible talent, if he has another season like he did last (which looks like he will so far) he would be beyond Liverpools reach. As much as it is a little mental, in this market it's actually a clever move. Very good move from Liverpool and one that will piss us off to no end next season.I think that's ridiculous.

We are getting left behind by the bigger spenders.
agree with you but also showing patience which some (stress some) of our fans are not showing...specifically pointing to the Keita deal being for next summer....some of our lot are getting outraged that we haven't signed players earlier in this window.Liverpool making some smart moves. Selling Coutinho, and getting Lemar, Keita and maye VVD would be incredible work.
Richard Scudamore has come out in recent weeks and said he anticipates the coming television deal for 2019-2022 will see yet another increase in revenues. Contrary to popular belief on this website that there'd be a huge retraction due to a one year ratings dip, if Scudamore's projection holds true, next summer's transfer prices are going to skyrocket even further. Doing business now for players is smart for clubs like Liverpool. A club like Arsenal, though, is going find themselves spiraling straight into the abyss with a manager and board who are reticent to spend, huge amounts lost in players walking for free, and a toxic atmosphere among supporters.
Other than in defence, Liverpool don't really need to sign any players to improve their squad, whereas we need competition for places from back to front.agree with you but also showing patience which some (stress some) of our fans are not showing...specifically pointing to the Keita deal being for next summer....some of our lot are getting outraged that we haven't signed players earlier in this window.Liverpool making some smart moves.

Apparently 40m. Bad news for us regarding Barkley. Everton will say AOC only had a year on his deal too...Chelsea agree fee for Oxlade-Chamberlain according to Sky.

Not sure VVD is the answer though. Defense is about partnerships, and Liverpool learnt that lesson with Lovren signing.
I think its a net-positive for us.Apparently 40m. Bad news for us regarding Barkley. Everton will say AOC only had a year on his deal too...
