18 million pound wingback?!?!
Liverpool have been rather inactive in the transfer market, compared to their domestic and European rivals. However, when news finally broke that they were looking to buy 24-year-old former Chelsea player Glen Johnson from Portsmouth, it made fans sit up and go “Huh?”
Just when you thought they were going to augment the forward line with more firepower to support Torres, they go and seek to splash out a cool 18 million pounds on a wingback. Granted, Johnson had a good season with Portsmouth, but is he really worth 18 million? Ok…so Pompey still owe Liverpool 7 million for Crouchie, but that still makes it 11 million…is it worth paying that much for someone whom Portsmouth bought for 4 million, and who was on the Chelsea bench most of the time…?
I am of the opinion that while the defence needs to be shored up (with the possible departure of Dossena), the limited transfer budget could be better spent on someone to support Torres…someone in the mould of Sergio Aguero…or David Silva…
Come on Rafa!! You got what you asked for, when you said you wanted more control over transfers…now show us what you got!!
