It kind of is mate.
Especially when you see what Klopp is going to do with the Ox.
How was Kent going to get a game?
How and where do you think he actually slots in and to make enough of an impact to justify 40mill with 10months left on his contract. He has very few assists, very few goals and has made very little impact in his career so far. That money would have been better spent elsewhere and then pushed on the likes of Kent and Grujic.
We paid basically the same amount for Salah, who has a heck of a lot more goals and assists and been consistently good for a few years now but yet we tried to haggle that down so where is the justification in this deal?! He adds nothing we don't already have. People also weren't sure about Salah because of his time in England with Chelsea but yet people seem happy enough about Ox and only question the fee based on the length of deal he had left at Arsenal...how about questioning the fact he's a bang average player.
Kent has shown plenty of positives so far but people deem him nowhere near ready whilst those people are probably the ones calling for TAA to be 1st choice right back ahead of Clyne. We don't need Kent to be coming in as a starter, we need him to be gradually introduced and grow into the team. People are kidding themselves if they think Ox is going to be anything more than a bit part player so why not use what we have for that position and strengthen where we really needed to?!
