Summary
According to Interfootball, Sky Sports pundit Dargie Critchley has argued that Liverpool should have signed Lee Kang-in instead of Barcola from PSG this summer. Barcola, who arrived for £123 million, has yet to register a goal or assist in five appearances, with concerns raised about positional issues disrupting Liverpool's attacking setup.
Critchley told his podcast that Lee Kang-in is creative and capable of playing on the right flank as well as operating centrally. With both players departing PSG but following contrasting paths, questions are being raised about Liverpool's recruitment decision.
