Everton and Liverpool lead the transfer window losers. They completely f***ed it.
There is a morbidly humorous paradox to what might be Everton’s final transfer window as a Premier League club for some time. The Toffees got themselves into this situation by consistently spending exorbitant sums stupidly; they must escape it with neither the money nor the pull to bring anyone else on board a sinking ship. Well, well, well… if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions.
In this, the highest-spending January transfer window in Premier League history, Everton could not make a single move because their past profligacy and historic negligence hamstrung them to the point of inertia. It’s almost poetic.The Liverpool machine which could turn a transfer profit on Kevin Stewart, sell Rhian Brewster, Ki-Jana Hoever and Ovie Ejaria for £30m at the height of a financially crippling global pandemic and barely ever make a misstep in terms of incomings is broken.
‘This kind of stealth has become synonymous with Liverpool, and is evidently set to continue under the sporting directorship of Julian Ward when Edwards exits,’ said The Independent. Edwards has gone. Ward, director of research Ian Graham and some other key figures in the club’s transfer department are going. Mike Gordon, director and bridge between Klopp and FSG – the owners looking to sell the club – has stepped away from his role. Liverpool are said to be rethinking the entire model which has delivered their success and the manager has become more ‘hands-on’ with recruitment.The shared thinking has been replaced by a disjointed muddle of ideas.
‘Caicedo is concerned that he may not get the chance to join Arsenal or Chelsea in the summer, with the clubs set to go head-to-head for West Ham captain Declan Rice at the end of the season,’ read one British tabloid line towards the end of January and those fears are hardly unfounded considering Jude Bellingham will be paraded on that very same market. Caicedo was the flavour of the month but tastier dishes will be on the next menu.
