Liverpool ‘should have just paid the money’ to land £150M star Spaniards fans love!

Former Reds Captain Jordan Henderson has claimed that LIVERPOOLshould just have paid the money to sign Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham over the course of the transfer window.

When the season started three weeks ago, the Englishman became an instant hit by scoring on his debut at Athletic Bilbao, added two more in a victory at Almeria, and then netted a late winner at Celta Vigo to secure three straight away wins.

Bellingham has settled quickly since his monster move to the club. Real fans have been impressed by the 20-year-old’s attitude and maturity, as well as by his form, and he has really become one of the most important members of that squad.

Now, Henderson has opened up and claimed that Liverpool should have paid the money that would have secured the signing of Bellingham for Jurgen Klopp, who really wanted the Englishman over the summer.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID –

“They’re not going to go and spend a ridiculous amount of fees and wages on players because it will upset the structure, as much as I tried with certain players in the past!” he said to The Athletic.

“They stick to their principles and it has worked. Maybe not to the owners but you can probably think of certain players that I might have tried for in the past, especially recently! Looking back now, he’s on fire so (laughing) I might have thought we should have just paid the money!”

Henderson has also insisted that FSG always “have a plan” and they are in control of things so that the squad harmony is not disturbed.

“In the end, they have a structure, they have a plan and if it doesn’t fall within that then they’re not going to change for it. Because it has a knock-on effect,” he said.

“It’s great to sign these amazing players with loads of wages and it’s amazing for everyone. But in the end, you’ll then have different players coming in wanting different money, you’ve got players within saying, ‘Well, I want…’. It causes loads of different issues within.

“They always have a plan, always have a strategy and they know what they’re doing. The most important thing is they care about the club and that’s the biggest thing I would say about them,” he added.

We can see why Liverpool didn’t spend all their transfer kitty on Bellingham, but he is certainly a player that Reds fans would have loved, just like Madrid fans are right now.
