Collymore backs striker despite $169m price tag
Alexander Isak joined Liverpool from Newcastle United on deadline day for a British-record $169m (£125m) and debuted in the Champions League versus Atletico Madrid. Stan Collymore says the striker just needs fitness and goals to silence talk of fees.
Collymore compared past record jumps to today’s steady increases — noting his own £8.5m move in 1995 would now inflate to huge sums. In short: transfers are so pricey that buying strikers now feels like ordering dessert at the world’s most expensive restaurant — you pretend not to check the bill.
