Ever since it first opened at the start of June, it has felt nailed on that Isak was going to become a Liverpool player one way or another.

Indeed, it may have taken until deadline day for Richard Hughes to agree a fee for the striker with the Magpies, but the main thing that matters is that he’s now a Liverpool player.

He runs in behind, and he can dribble.

“So I think it will be a great signing for Liverpool and a big miss for Newcastle United.”

Although Liverpool may have got the results they wanted this season, the fact that it’s taken until the dying embers of their games is a cause for concern.



Of course, the fact that Liverpool have spent so much money on new players means that they more or less have two players per position, so the odd bad performance here and there isn’t too much of an issue.
