Actually, I agree with KH, and I apologize for not believing her. We were never going to meet his wage demands. Still, the club should have known earlier that Bellingham and his father are only using us as a bait for Real Madrid to give them what they want ...
Believe it or not, I am not actually that pissed off that we missed out on Bellingham specifically. Whatever the reason why he won’t be signing along, whether it be we not having the money or your reason that he used us to smoke out Madrid’s interest.
The reason I am pissed off with the situation is that I stated last summer that Liverpool FC should not be sacrificing/risking seasons for the chance to sign any footballer. No footballer is worth that. It was absolutely obvious we needed reinforcements last summer and this stupid idea to wait for St Jude of Stourbridge to grace us with his presence was exactly that, stupid.
I never thought he would sign for us but that changed in the January window when we didn’t get a midfielder, I thought that has to mean we will sign this guy. But alas we pulled out and that illustrated a huge abdication of duty that forget last summer, even as things were falling apart, we let January pass without a new midfielder.
