'Gutted' - Liverpool fans react to transfer blow as they miss out on summer target

Liverpool fans have been reacting to the news that Lloyd Kelly has joined Bournemouth.

The Bristol City defender was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, with the Reds' scouting team said to be very impressed by the young Robin.

Yet he instead joined Bournemouth for what the Robins described as their record sale - and some Liverpool fans were disappointed.

Cllm Smrvll: Nice of us to let Bournemouth have two seasons worth of Lloyd Kelly before we sign him.

The Kopinion: Think there are other young full-backs in the EFL who are well worth looking at with Lloyd Kelly seemingly off the table; James Justin at Luton is going to go very far in the game and can play both RB & LB. I'm all for us giving Adam Lewis an opportunity otherwise.

Biggies Malls: So Lloyd Kelly has signed for Bournemouth for £13m? Understandable we’ve missed out really, Liverpool were never going to spend 65% of their summer transfer budget on him. We just can’t compete against other PL clubs that throw that kind of cash around.

'One of the best in the division' - Bristol City star tipped for Premier League move alongside Aston Villa and Swansea City attackers  

Grant Shepherd: Bournemouth have completed the signing of Lloyd Kelly from Bristol City for £13M. Have to say I’m gutted Liverpool didn’t go and get this lad signed, I feel like we’ve definitely missed out, However I wish Kelly luck at Bournemouth, it’s a great signing for them.

Karl: Lloyd Kelly seemed to be the one potential transfer we thought might happen. So now we're entirely in the dark on our targets. It's great. Going to get maybe 3/4 Fabinhos this summer.
