Collymore says goals will erase the price tag
Alexander Isak joined Liverpool from Newcastle for a British-record $169m (£125m) and debuted in the Champions League against Atlético Madrid. Stan Collymore, once a record signing himself, insists that fans will forget the fee if Isak starts scoring quickly.
Collymore compared his own £8.5m move in 1995 to today’s huge sums, noting how normal they now feel in England. His advice? Stay fit, make an impact, and the price becomes irrelevant. After all, in football, asking about transfer fees is like asking the Kop to sing quietly — pointless.
