Having never seen him play I don’t have any real affection for the guy.
He also never played under Parker, never played alongside Travers, didn’t play regularly in a pair with Lloyd Kelly so he wouldn’t slot into the side any easier than any other new signing really.
I wouldn’t say no, just wouldn’t be chomping at the bit, moving heaven and earth to get him.
I’d rather Nat Phillips on a full season loan if the option was there.
Like the idea of another loan, but only with option to buy built in.
Issue is, if he steps up and has a very good season, Liverpool will raise his price and/or bigger clubs will come sniffing.
For 10 million, I'd sign him permanently.
Of course he may flop, but I suspect he'll give his at least what you expect from a 10 mill player (in the current market). So permanent for that fee is better deal imo on this occasion. Otherwise you lose/don;t obtain an asset with future sell on potential.
