It's always been amusing when Liverpool fans do their 'Welcome to Liverpool' videos and then the transfer doesn't happen.

But when the club do it - and these pictures have apparently been confirmed - well that's just a whole new level of glee.

:p

If you believe certain media sources, it's not his fitness

Independent saying that Liverpool tried to lower the fee at the last moment, after the fee had been agreed:

Bbc saying liverpool did not try to renegotiate the deal.


Could it not have been a case of Liverpool picking up on Fekir's injury issues in the medical and trying to renegotiate on that basis?

A good idea to renegotiate because of his injury. Although maybe they shouldn’t have bid so high because of it in the first place

That’s how how they sewed the deal up (kind of) so quickly. Overpay secures the deal.

I'm a doctor, pay me £30k and I'll diagnose your players with whatever you want. Concussion, erectile dysfunction, Thrush...

Only if you can pinpoint when it happened within a 60minute window.

Agreed.

And they skew the transfer and wages market for everyone else. I saw Fekir was going to be on £170k per week.
Yep, and it was their purchase of VVD on quoted wages of approx £180k per week that has most probably given Toby delusions of grandeur
They're going to properly Leeds it up if they keep doing this. That's probably 5-6 times what Fekir is on at Lyon - surely no need for them to offer anything like that.
