Collymore says fee is no big deal

Liverpool’s $169m (£125m) signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle set a new British record, but ex-Red Stan Collymore says it’s all about performances, not price tags. Isak impressed in his Champions League debut versus Atletico Madrid and could feature in the Merseyside derby next.

Collymore compared past transfer leaps to today’s steady climbs, noting fans forget fees once goals arrive. His verdict: if Isak scores quickly, nobody will care what he cost—because in football, goals are like pizza: nobody remembers the bill once it’s delivered hot.
