Robbie Fowler is thrilled by the arrival of Darwin Nunes at Anfield, with top rivals beaten to his signature.
A little about the topic
The Reds appear set to win races for the Uruguayan striker and Liverpool are confident in beating archrivals Man Utd to a £75m deal. The former fan favorite at Anfield took great delight in pointing out that Manchester United could write a book on how not to make a pass. Those at Old Trafford seem about to be left empty-handed in the pursuit of a highly regarded international who scored 34 goals for the Portuguese heavyweights last season.
What did Robbie Fowler say?
The Red Devils, having missed out on the top four, ends up again during the 2021-22 campaign and former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler believes lessons from Merseyside should be taken into account by those in Manchester. Robbie said that with Nunez’s record signing looking all but made for the Reds, what fascinates him is the presence of the Red Devils in the negotiation.
Fowler can guarantee that the people of Anfield would be concerned about this as it has the potential to increase not only the price but wages as well. According to Robbie Fowler, no worthy agent would use him to get a bigger contract, let’s be clear.
Man Utd being there in the background – for Fowler – highlights why this could so easily be another brilliant move for Liverpool in the transfer market and it’s a point so often overlooked in desperation to see new faces, new signings, new excitement.
Robbie says he doesn’t want to be violent, but Man Utd may have written a book on how not to transfer in recent seasons. “Signing players just because you don’t want them to go to a competitor? Check and double check.
“Ronaldo did his job well enough, but signing him because he could have gone to Man City?. It just had disaster written all over it. Same with Sanchez. No, not the same, 10 times worse.
That agreement highlights everything that was wrong at Old Trafford. How much did it cost? ” said Fowler. About 500 grand a week in wages that Robbie has seen anywhere costs them about £20 million per goal!
The English manager says much, much worse though, was that it only broke Man Utd’s pay structure, it ruined him. This is how a De Gea goalkeeper can end up on £400,000 a week, and a midfielder like Pogba who couldn’t even get into the team half the time for even more.
