‼️ Liverpool Have Been Left Red Faced (Again)
I won't pretend this one doesn't sting.
Yan Diomande looked like the complete package. Nineteen years old, frightening pace, fearless in one against one situations, outstanding numbers in the Bundesliga, thriving on the biggest stage with Ivory Coast, and a player who looked tailor made for Liverpool's next great attack. He ticked every box.
Which makes tonight's news from David Ornstein all the more gutting.
For weeks, the noise coming out suggested Liverpool were confident. The whispers were positive, the expectation was building, and it felt like Richard Hughes had done the hard work. Then comes the revelation that Diomande has chosen PSG as his preferred destination, leaving Liverpool looking like they were chasing a deal that was never truly theirs to complete.
That should rightly raise uncomfortable questions.
This is beginning to feel like a pattern. Hughes appears to be spending a lot of time pursuing players whose minds are elsewhere. If reports that he is already lined up for Saudi Arabia carry any truth, then what exactly is Michael Edwards overseeing, and why are FSG allowing Liverpool's recruitment to sink into this sort of uncertainty?
Supporters can argue the fee was too high, and perhaps it was. Plenty already believe Liverpool have dodged a financial gamble. Yet that misses the point for me. This was the player I wanted. The player I believed could define Liverpool's next era.
Missing out hurts.
The fee can be debated, the destination can be both understood and baffling, but Liverpool should never look this exposed in public. Elite clubs miss targets, that happens all the time. They shouldn't repeatedly look as though they have been led towards the finish line only to discover somebody else was already holding the tape.
Never happening. It’s always been Barcola or Diomande. We have far too much to do elsewhere and the most sought after young LW talent itw requiring assurances of playing time
