I agree with your overall point.
However, if there is money available and ETH was given guarantees that we would be making an attacking signing in Jan, I'm pretty sure he'll be pissed off over the dilly dallying of his number 1 target...

It sounds like we didn't get him because we didn't have the money this month. Glazers final little gift for us the bastards
Hehe true, was a stupid amount of money. But I'm certain he'll be great for us in the future, he has all the tools you want in a winger, just a bit too much beyblading still.
This team has yet to reach its full potential, the football is still not always where we want it to be. When we get rolling, he'll show he's a true star.
If the rumors about 37+12M are true, then he was definitely worth the gamble.
Hopefully he's a bust for Liverpool

Can someone remind me what was the quoted transfers fee from journalists United would have to pay if he was signed?
Was ambivalent to him, but now Liverpool are signing him I suddenly am gutted.
I am exactly the same. I'm such a kid about these things, don't want but the moment someone else wants it, I do tooI guess I am more upset as well about the fact it's annoying how seemingly well/quick Liverpool got this done but we go through a public 20 step plan to want to sign a player. Of course could be argued if we wanted him, we'd get it done but history has shown we aren't exactly skilled in this
That tweet was from Dec 10th
Well we've lost Ronaldo, Greenwood and Sancho is exiled.
We need players and the manager wants players.
Liverpool don't need attackers but Klopp is getting given them anyway
Not bothered by this. We have Rashford, Garnacho and Sancho (when he's back) to cover LW and he doesn't seem like a traditional no.10 or no.9 either.
He might be a good player but not sure he's the right profile. Clearly the club has reservations as we've not stepped up interest.

Just doesn’t look that great to me. Problem is that we won’t have anyone else lined up though.
It’s amazing how the transfer fee reduces when we aren’t involved. He’s not a striker and we have wide players so not overall fussed.
He's played there all season and in the world cup. He's banging goals in left, right, and centre. Seems like a definite centre-forward to me.How is he definitely a centre-forward?
Please tell me how you have come to this conclusion
Liverpool currently have 2 fit senior attackers with only Firmino expected back in the short-term. Of course they needed an attacker.
Hes not playing up top for PSV this season is he?
Hope he’s the next Memphis.
Interesting signing from Liverpool's perspective.
There's clearly talent and productivity there. But he's also quite clearly a project player, with it being unclear where exactly his best position will be at the highest level.
Coming after they spent massive money on another project player who likes to occupy the left hand channel in Nunez, it will be interesting to see how it all gels. Especially when Diaz and Jota are fit again.

They don't need attackers but are in dire need of midfielders, which makes this transfer even weirder.
What have you seen in his career that made you post this? We are not going anywhere with players like him.
People gave Nani so much shite and he actually contributed to us winning titles.
One is a LW and one is a RW, and we paid a premium because Ajax had already been ransacked. PSV are a different animal, and apparently need the money.
We don't need a LW, but we definitely needed a left footed RW, especially after Greenwood was exiled.
And it's €37m initially. It probably rises closer to €60m, with some fairly attainable clauses.
Maybe it's Liverpool who know they'll be in the money pretty soon, got this done in a flash, and lots of talk they'll be Bellingham's next club.
They do tend to do things quietly, could be the same with their takeover.

Not seen him create anything yet. Zero assists so far which is very poor.
Does look like he's got goals in him though so there is that.
Hopefully he gets better and better in second half of season.
In term of squad depth since Origi and Minamino weren’t at Anfield anymore. Diaz and jota were injured, Firmino is 31 years old and Nunez isn’t that consistent.
Tbh, I’m happy with this news and hope that he will adapt to English football well.
Chose Lpool over Utd and Chelsea says Ornstein. So would have gone there even if their bid was matched
I was not overly keen on us signing him and thus I am not overly bothered about him signing for Liverpool either. I just don't see it.
He literally hasn't. Luuk de Jong plays up front for PSV
That tells us we’re waiting for a striker and not someone off the left?
Not sure that's necessarily the case. Depends on what Ornsteins source is I guess.
Well that came out of nowhere. Liverpool saw a need after the Jota and Diaz injuries and pounced. I suppose we were naive to think the parasites might actually back ten Hag after the Ronaldo wages came off the books, but looks like we’re standing firm with our threadbare attacking depth.
Reminds me of the Fabinho transfer.
I think Firmino is probably gone in the summer and Darwin has been underwhelming.
I think putting Gakpo in that CF role where Firmino plays with Diaz and Salah alongside him could work wonders. Especially for a front 3 that can interchange.
For the amount of money they paid for Gakpo it was a no brainer.
I rather spend 45M for Gakpo then 80M for Antony.
Brilliant deal by Liverpool and very under the radar. Their scouting is next level.
Not a PSV and even someone like EL Ghazi is preferred to him in that position. All of his games this season came from the wing.
In that World Cup, he played as a 2nd striker or a no.10 and never as a lone striker.
Wow like Nunez in the summer Liverpool appear to have swooped in out of no where, hopefully like Nunez Cakpo is shite
You can’t praise Liverpool for scouting Gakpo now! Not exactly a hidden gem
I mean they've hardly unearthed a hidden gem.
I cannot stand a second more of Glazers running our club into the ground.
So fecking frustrated right now and absolutely shocked
