In the aftermath of Liverpool’s decision not to sign Bellingham, Carragher has not been mute
Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool’s ’embarrassing’ signing is a “waste of money.”
The importance of Liverpool’s midfield woes this season cannot be emphasized.
Jurgen Klopp and his team will have to be cautious with their time and resources when the summer transfer window opens.
To the dismay of Anfield fans, the club’s long-running chase of Jude Bellingham has come to a stop.
With Carragher conceding at the end of last season that he needs to sign three midfielders in the next 12 months, the time has come to look for less expensive alternatives to the English teen.
Fans have ridiculed the club for its transfer ineptitude, and now Champions League champion Carragher has chastised the club for it.
“That is [Klopp’s] biggest mistake on this issue, and he knows it,” The Telegraph’s Carragher wrote. “The last-minute scramble for Arthur Melo on the last day of last August’s transfer window was the big giveaway that he realized his error in not recruiting before the final pre-season.”
Liverpool justified their large outlay as a strategy to buy time while looking for a long-term, world-beating midfielder.
“That was a colossal waste of money and a source of embarrassment.” Liverpool was thinking long term, which served as rationale at the moment.

The Reds must strengthen in the middle of the field in the coming weeks. Some of their players have reached their thirties. Meanwhile, Naby Keita has never been able to live up to the hype. And the club’s loan signing of Arthur Melo has yet to pay off.
Bennacer would have been a fantastic addition for the Reds. This season, the £52 million midfielder has been one of the most prolific tacklers in the Italian top division. Meanwhile, according to FBRef, few players have had more touches in the centre of the park.
Thierry Henry admires him as a player. Many Liverpool fans would have been overjoyed if he had ended up moving to Merseyside.
Unfortunately for his followers, he looks to be content to stay put.
