Carragher Questions Liverpool’s Strategy…
Jamie Carragher can’t stop scratching his head over Liverpool’s chase for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, after the fans gave him an earful for questioning the deal. Despite a sour rejection last week, the Reds are still texting Isak late at night with no official offer in sight. Meanwhile, Isak was banished to train on his own, like the only kid who didn’t learn ‘the Macarena’. With more obstacles than a soap opera villain has enemies, the plot thickens as Benjamin Sesko’s absence adds more layers to the saga.
With Hugo Ekitike already warming the bench at Anfield, Carragher wonders if Liverpool needs more strikers like a camel needs a pogo stick. Fans think Isak is the prince Liverpool needs, but Carragher fears they’ll be left struggling to fit Ekitike in like trying to squeeze an elephant into a Mini Cooper. Comparing the situation to clubs like Man City handling Erling Haaland and Spurs with Harry Kane, Carragher argues spending £80M for backup can feel like buying a goldfish and then insisting it needs its own Olympic swimming pool.
