There have some really stupid transfers this season.
Not since he last encountered a linesman has Jurgen Klopp taken such an unnecessarily aggressive stance as when he spent an entire summer insisting Liverpool did not need to sign a new midfielder, before admitting a few days before the closure of the transfer window that, then reaching a compromise which suited absolutely no-one.
A return from whence he came at the end of the season has already been confirmed for a player who arrived when the Jude Bellingham spectre was still lingering over Anfield. Arthur was supposed to be a convenient stop-gap but he only compounded the midfield problems at Liverpool.“The club decided to buy him,” said Antonio Conte, who described Djed Spence as “an investment” on their behalf and not his.
That typical adaptation period under Pep Guardiola can and honestly probably should take time. Every role in the Spaniard’s machine has to be played seamlessly and instinctively, with those intricate movements and tactical fouls not about to learn themselves. But Loic Bade joined on loan in September, made a solitary Premier League matchday squad, summarily failed to convince Steve Cooper of his credentials and was sent back in January, moving on to Sevilla and becoming a starting centre-half for the Spanish side, capable of scoring goals against Man Utd to send them to the Europa League semi-finals.Steven Gerrard stated that Jan Bednarek was “very much in demand” when Aston Villa drafted him in on a season-long loan from Southampton.
