why would there be a medical problem?
Apparently he failed the first medical but passed the second.

@Nishankly Don't think Klopp will sanction a deal if he had a shade of doubt about a player fitting into his strategy.

Liverpool Echo. Probably few other news outlets as well.

signing a player that failed a medical Laughing

He tore his ACL if i recall, and had a very difficult time coming back. good luck

Its official, Liverpool has pulled the plug on the Fekir deal, Makes sense if his fitness is an issue.

by Firenze Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:22 pm

was reading Lyon have him on a specialized training regime separate from other players where it's lighter than the usual stuff because of his injury record

that coupled with his attitude, cleuless Pool numpties think he will be working hard and pressing constantly from what I've read online Laughing

60m

now we know why the elite clubs stayed away..no denying his talent if he stays healthy but it's a huge risk

ffs

Get in there asap Woody

biggest talent under 25 in the world

60m is a bargain

by Unique Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:24 pm

we should go for lemar now.

by Firenze Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:25 pm

you'll sign Shaqiri and like it

by Nishankly Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:26 pm

Yup would take Shaqiri, Better than bringing on Solanke or Ings from the bench. Shaqiri will be squad depth.

Fekir would have started in the 4-2-3-1.

by Firenze Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:27 pm

IDK, I'd stay away from Lemar unless it's at a reasonable price

don't think he's anything close to a 60m player tbh

still think you should go for SMS if Loserpool board can justify dropping 90m or so

then play 433

by Nishankly Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:32 pm

wtf is a SMS, Aint going around texting no one in the market

He might if there are no other big clubs in for him this summer.

We won't sign him and you won't unless you sell Sandro/Dybala/Piggy

by BusterLfc Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:35 pm

Oddly enough, I agree with Firenze Laughing

by BusterLfc Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:36 pm

Shaqiri would be great wing depth for Mane/Salah, we had 0 players this season to come in for them, which was shown in the CL final when Salah went off

Nope. SMS is definitely not a Liverpool kinda signing and besides his priority is to stay in Italy.

i agree. 12mil for a good squad player like him in todays market is a no brainer tbh.

My mercato gurus making Sergej to Liverpool links before they exist. Stuff of dreams Proud

by Art Morte Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:45 pm

Better to not sign Fekir if his medical isn't 100% green light. Too expensive a risk. Would also take Shaqiri for £14m because why not.

by Firenze Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:45 pm

Breaking | Liverpool understood to have tried to lower the fee in their pre-existing deal with Lyon after Nabil Fékir's medical, according to @Tanziloic of RMC, who was incidentally the individual who prematurely broke that a deal was in place between the 2 clubs last month.

That makes sense, Why pay so much for someone who failed a medical and can't guarantee fitness. Good call by LFC.

by Unique Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:50 pm

wonder how much liverpool tried to lower the price. if it was 5-10mil it wouldnt have been worth taking the risk.

by M99 Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:55 pm

Shortlist of Liverpool targets on the wake of failure to sign Nabil Fekir includes Antonio Candreva, Xherdan Shaqiri, Stewart Downing, Gervinho, and Simone Pepe (Daily Mercato Echo).

by Nishankly Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:55 pm

You can still sign Robertsons and Coutinhos from that kind of money today hmm

by Luca Sat Jun 09, 2018 7:57 pm

I wonder what exactly saw him fail the medical though. I can't see it being his knee, that's not how ACL injuries work and obviously an injury like that wouldn't have been news to Pool

by Nishankly Sat Jun 09, 2018 8:11 pm

@ol @NabilFekir on t'aime Nabil allez la France allez l'OL

youth exodus continues @ChemicalMELT

I'm sure we'll survive somehow.

Speaking of youth and United's future generation of ~~gash~~
superstars, you kept your U23 team getting relegated in Premier League 2 quiet didn't you.

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/u21-premier-league/tabelle/wettbewerb/GB21/saison_id/2017

Even Sunderland's epic bunch of U23 players finished higher and they must be terrible. Laughing

Would your U23's even beat your brand new women's team?

Smart money is on the girls.
