    I’d be shocked if he comes good after what I saw in the past 3 months. Imho questions already need to be asked if you look at the options that were available this summer for this kind of money - Palmer, Szoboszali, Maddison etc

      I don’t think it’s helpful to compare players who were already in decent form and thus had little challenge in transitioning to their new clubs vs the utter sledgehammer that teams like Chelsea and United are to promising, developing players so that their next managers have to treat them like a build-a-bear project or Tin Man.

      Szoboszali is a massive boy hood Liverpool fan with a big Steven Gerrard tattoo on his arm, he was never going to anywhere other Liverpool. Palmer and Maddison play as creative 10s we already have Odegaard, Vieira and Smith Rowe as as creative midfielders so I don’t see the need another playmaker
