Oxlaide cost 35 mil and was actually good before his injury and really contributed. His injury fucked him, but it was the sort of injury that you can’t forecast in any sort of way. So I strongly disagree. Rarely has Keita contributed on the level he needs to contribute and he cost 52 mil. He is a much worse buy. A complete miss for that sort of money.
I don’t agree the reputation Keita came with and what we have had from him is terrible. 13 injuries totalling 64 games missed and thats not counting games where hes been a healthy stractch.
He has had a whole week to recoup it’s the only thing that’s going for us at the moment and it hasn’t helped much I suppose if it had been midweek games as well we would probably down to playing the U23s just not benching them.
Also happens at too a frequent period. How many times would it be brilliant to have him and he goes injured.
I do hope it’s more transfer related, no one’s probably going shell out much but it might at least suggest we are looking to buy and I’ve been strong against but it’s got to be done now.
Must be great to be a Liverpool academy player, make the bench on big games and get to train with the first team often. Most teams don’t see a u23 on the bench once
