Keita showed flashes of brilliance from time to time but was ultimately never healthy long enough to develop a good run of form, and his development has probably stalled at this point. It sucks, since he was so promising when he first came in, but that's how it goes sometimes.

He's the only 8 to win the Premier League for Liverpool, I'd argue it's his shirt.

Toney will just be like a new signing when he comes back next year 8 months for 232 illegal bets seems like a good deal. Way laxer than gambling bans in

Milner is old, AOC had one good season for us but is a permacrock, Firmino wants to be first choice, and Keita didn't work out. It'll be quite a summer trying to rebuild the whole midfield though.

Shrapnig posted:It was my understanding that Naby Keita just needed time at Liverpool so I'm utterly shocked about this. AOC was so good on transitions before the injuries. None of our other midfielders have the same explosive dribbling out of midfield. Sad to see him go, but it's pretty clear that he won't ever have that same athleticism and without that, it's hard to justify keeping him. Keita is a mystery. Every now and then he would do a Patrick Viera impression and dominate the midfield, but mostly he was injured or a non-factor in games. I hope he rediscovers his form at a less competitive club/league, because the talent is obviously there. Bobby deserves the chance to be a regular starter somewhere, but it's going to feel terrible when he scores a no-look goal against us in the Champions League. Milner is probably the hardest to replace. No one else in the squad has the same kind of experience or as many trophies. With that said, there are other leaders (Salah, Henderson, Virgil) who will keep the training standards high. He's worked with many of the best managers in the world and if rumors are true, he's going to join Brighton to learn from De Zerbi. Prediction: Milner will manage Liverpool before Gerrard does. In summary, it doesn't matter because Manchester City will win every title until the world runs out of oil.

Sad to see him go, but it's pretty clear that he won't ever have that same athleticism and without that, it's hard to justify keeping him. This is a good summary and  I was skeptical about the Ox transfer at the time given the fee and his history of injuries, poor guy just couldn’t stay fit. Keita is probably the biggest flop of the Klopp era - as mentioned before, he would be anonymous for several games, play outstanding one match, then inevitably get hurt, and the cycle would repeat. Not learning the language and just general sense of not really wanting to be there couldn’t have helped. I get why Bobby is moving on, he does deserve to be a starter somewhere but Gakpo has done a decent job of adapting to that role so understand why they wouldn’t give him a long term contract. I’ll miss his creativity (and ludicrous smile). Milner is arguably the best free transfer in Liverpool history - I somehow hadn’t realized he had been there 8 years, the longest club he played for. Just a great player and influence, he will absolutely be missed.

He won less top flight Scottish trophies in his time as Rangers manager up there than St Johnstone did over the same time period. His one title win came during the wacky no-crowds COVID season where Celtic absolutely imploded for various reasons.
