He's not worth 40 million Baz. You could of got Matic for that and we all know how well he's doing. That 40 million should of gone on a defender.
Compared to previous seasons:
Suarez & Carroll. (1 good 1 bad)
Henderson, Downing & Adam (grim)
Sturridge & Coutinho (Kinhell what happened there.)
Sakho, Aspas & Mignolet. (grim)
Lallana, Lovren, Markovic & Balotelli. (Scattergun)
Firmino & Benteke. (1 good 1 bad)
Last couple of seasons.
Mane & Wijnaldum.
Salah & AOC.
Arguments have already been made over whether or not it was a priority signing,
given we needed CBs more than anything, but there is no doubting the last 2 seasons
have been an improvement for players coming in that have suited the style/system.
Given what we've seen at other clubs no problem with Salah & AOC as signings at the moment.
Yes money should have gone on CBs, but the issue there, I believe, is setting up VvD or bust & going bust.
Anyway. Back on topic.
LFC seem to be coming good & the gap is only 4 points.
Interesting season awaits.
