Pretty sure there were people on here who were suggesting we should offer him a new contract.  Absolute madness.

yes - some of the rationalization for why we should was just crazy.

Such a massive waste of money and talent. Not sure which team would now take a punt on him, he's done.

Could be one of the mysteries of the century come to think of it.

Maybe they just really wanted a high profile player who'd spent years at a big club. Something to excite the fans on a free transfer. Fuck knows to be honest.

Most biscuits I can think of are more robust than he is.

Averaging 10 minutes per game (80mins over 8 Bundesliga matches).

Transfermarkt has him currently valued @ €9m down from the €65m we paid.

did we actually pay that much or just media chatter adding his wages, bonus, treatment cost, x ray cost, MRI costs? i think certain targets were definitely not met

and just a reminder we have a 200k per week player that haven't start a game for us in months. doubt we be even getting half of what naby is valued for :-X

The burn on Keita was worse because we also had Henderson, Ox and (last season) Fabinho at the same time. We accept Thiago as a luxury because we can afford to carry him given the alternatives.

Final deferred bill came to £52m, some weird clause about RBL making the CL the season we left him there.

Still comfortably the worst value signing under Klopp.

Apparently he's now out with an unspecified "illness" with no predicted return date.  He was due to play in a behind-closed-doors friendly but didn't.

Werder Bremen will complete the full Naby Keita experience in a few months when he plays every minute of AFCON for Guinea before returning to continue his rehab.

I like Baby Keith - and he seems like a nice enough person - but if he did go to AFCON and play there - I'd really question his priorities (in terms of Werder). If I was running the show there, I'd even terminate his contract if that happened.

I'm glad we've finally put this circus behind us. No player is worth waiting for through these amount of injuries, no matter how good he is.

We haven't, we've just renamed the circus to Thiago. People still go on about "IF he's fit he is a starter/world class" blah blah like, they do not learn.

Thiago will soon be gone too and he's twice the player Keita will ever be.

why do some people talk about players getting injuries as if the player is doing something nefarious? reckon there's a solid chance most players are more frustrated than the people acting bitter about them

there's no sign he's some daft prick like carroll taking the piss, getting injuries acting a twat while drunk or high. don't really get it

personally, I don't think he's being nefarious - but I also think he's a player (based on some of the stories that have circulated) isn't hurrying to get back and won't play if he doesn't feel 100% - certainly not at the club level. As noted - he seems like a nice person - and certainly got along well with the teammates while here.

I just don't think he has the drive to excel, anymore. It's possible the rash of injuries compounded by his injury with Guinea that was mismanaged changed his mindset.

Taking the liberty of locking this for a while, as this thread just seems to go round in circles and doesn't have any particular relevance to our football club at the moment.
