“Take a look at Antony, Antony’s simply been purchased from Man United for £80 million, he’s out on mortgage, nobody says a dicky hen.
“This lad, he’s been completely excellent for Liverpool, he hasn’t are available in as a £60 million flop. He’s been by the ranks, he’s come within the crew, he’s been phenomenal.

Everyone seems to be entitled to their opinion, Roy Keane appears to assume the identical, however there shall be a lot of our supporters who strongly disagree.
The issue with Alexander-Arnold leaving isn’t all the way down to a price
The way in which this query was posed to the 57-year-old was that followers are solely upset as a result of we’re not getting cash in return for the departure of a homegrown expertise, one thing Jamie Carragher addressed, however there are extra causes to be upset.
If we have a look at Raheem Sterling and Fernando Torres, each of those males left and we received cash in return – exhibiting a switch price doesn’t at all times sweeten the deal for supporters.
The issue with our vice captain going is that there’s no purpose for him to take action, if he actually is a fan of this membership.
He spoke previously of emulating Steven Gerrard, desirous to be a membership captain and stating he’d by no means play for an additional crew.
As an alternative, he intentionally selected to signal a shorter contract in 2021, let his contract run down and has left for no cash but additionally turned his again on his individuals and his metropolis.
If we received a switch price that will have befitted his skills, it will have helped however actually not make sure that there can be good feeling about our No.66 leaving by the again door.
