It won’t be. £86 million pound is nothing in todays market. It sounds a lot doesn’t it. But then you realise we are paying nigh on £40 million for a defender with one season of top flight football under his belt. And that we paid £60+ million for Richarlison last summer. By the time we’ve bought another defender and a young striker, that £86 million is gone.Maybe this will be our Courtinho moment...
£86 million doesn’t build you a team. Coutinho went for nearly twice that amount. Liverpool were also in a far stringer position to exploit that windfall.
