Jamie Carragher calls Liverpool’s ’embarrassing’ acquisition a ‘waste of money.’
It is impossible to emphasize Liverpool’s midfield problems this year.
Jurgen Klopp and his group will need to make great use of their time and resources once the summer window opens.
The club’s long-running pursuit of Jude Bellingham recently came to a stop, much to the dismay of the Anfield supporters.
It’s time to look at less expensive options to the English teen after Carragher declared at the close of the previous season that they would need to buy three midfielders over the course of the following year.
Supporters have pounced on their lack of skill in the transfer market, and now Champions League champion Carragher has criticized the club for coming out as “weak” and “negligent.”
Jamie Carragher’s thoughts on Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher wrote for The Telegraph about how fans feel misled following their club’s withdrawal from their long-running Bellingham pursuit.
Liverpool will need ready-made reinforcements this summer if they are to regain their title-challenging form, which has been lacking this season.
Despite their interest in Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, Liverpool must have been aware of the urgent need for a midfield renewal, according to his comments.
Arthur Melo, a last-minute loan signing by Klopp Carragher has called a “embarrassing climbdown” and a “waste of money,” enters the picture at this point.
“That is [Klopp’s] biggest mistake on this issue and he knows it,” Carragher wrote for The Telegraph. “The big giveaway that he realised his error in not recruiting before the last pre-season was the last-minute scramble for Arthur Melo on the final day of last August’s transfer window.”
Liverpool, a team based in Anfield, justified their financial outlay as a means of buying time while searching for a longer-term, world-beating midfielder.
“That deal was a money-wasting climbdown and embarrassing. Liverpool was waiting for the longer-term goal, which was the justification at the time.
Anfield’s disappointing tenure with Arthur Melo
The Brazilian international’s stay in Merseyside, where he paid a loan fee of £3.9 million, has been one to forget.
Melo has mostly played for Liverpool’s Under-21 team, making just one appearance for the senior team in their 1-0 loss to Napoli.
Transfer insider Dean Jones told GIVEMESPORT that their loaned midfielder Melo has been nothing more than a “panic buy.”
Since joining from Italian powerhouse Juventus, Melo’s absence from Anfield matches has been primarily due to injury.
The player in question will, unfortunately, probably return to Turin this summer because the venture was a failure for both parties.
The Anfield hierarchy will have to accept this as yet another hiring blunder, but all eyes will be on their summer transfer activity now that their pursuit of one of the biggest prospects in world football has come to a shaming end.
