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.
