I look forward to a Mediawatch coverage that gives the same treatment it did to those talking nonsense about the Haaland deal costing almost £250m by the time you add up everything including his lunch money… Klopp isn’t perfect but neither he or the club are being hypocrites in this situation. I assume Liverpool put some pocket money aside during this time instead of relying on artificially inflated commercial deals (allegedly) or money gained through dodgy Russian means (also allegedly). This is not a deal valued at £100m, this much is certain.įurthermore, if Benfica’s own statement on their website is true, the initial cost is £64m which is of course neither £100m or €115m but where is the “bants” in that?!Īpropos to nothing, the last time Liverpool even spent > £50m was for Allison in July 2018 which was over four years ago. For the record, based on current exchange rates, Nunez would need to cost in excess of €115m, which clearly isn’t the case. You don’t compare Miles per gallon to L/100km (Aussie metrics) because they don’t make sense and are different units of measurement.Įven if Nunez, and it is an if, managed to meet all the requirements for his full (speculated costs) then the total deal is worth £85m. You don’t compare Miles per hour to Kilometers per hour. Since then Lukaku cost Chelsea £97.5m (apparently) and Grealish cost City £100m (apparently) but received none of the vitriol because no one was being a “hypocrite”. Klopp’s original quote was – “If you bring one player in for £100m and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney.”Īs is always the case, everything there was twisted by the tabloid press and everyone remembers the headlines not the argument he was making at the time. ![]() I guess it was inevitable, rival fans would immediately start baiting Liverpool because they dared to spend their own money, earned off the back of almost a perfect season, for a position that is needed to improve the club. Not how Liverpool have done things previously, and it makes me wonder if perhaps Edwards was keen to end on a big splash. He’s young and clearly a good footballer but 100 million is not a fee that I feel is a fair measure of him as a player in the same way the high fees for Allisson and Van Dijk, the mid range fee for Dias and the lower fee for Minamino were. At which point Liverpool have paid a world-class fee for a decent player. Maybe he’ll continue to vastly outperform his XG now he plays with a vastly better team in a vastly better league against vastly better defences, but it’s more likely he’ll revert to his statistical norm. ![]() Nunez has had one excellent season in Portugal far outperforming his XG, one below average season in Portugal and one decent season in the Spanish second tier. Nunez is definitely more of a gamble than I would expect from Liverpool, given their excellent record on signings over the last five years.ĭarwin Nunez isn’t Van Dijk or Allison, proven consistent top performers clearly worth a fee commensurate.
