It really does make you wonder what we are trying to achieve with this approach.When we pay £50m!
This is a big deal for Liverpool. Perception is everything to a club who even compete with United for bullshit narrative and revisionism.
This deal represents the acceptance of their standing in the grander scheme of things, the fork in the road, the sobering reality of a club who forgot that history only keeps you warm at night for so long.
They will hold out for the full asking IMO, simply because they need to prolong the delusions of grandeur for a couple more years yet.
Henry is known for not budging on the fee he wants.
The facts will be that after weeks of negotiating we still had to pay what they wanted in the end.
