Paying an extra £5m would’ve made him a LFC player already; we’d be 2nd/3rd now. What a mess,” agreed a third.Another claimed: “Yep, false economy, if we get him in January it will cost more as he will demand a bigger fee and wages, and lost 3 months of season without him, get him in summer n those numbers go bigger again and lost a season of him.

Responsibility is definitely on Hughes and Edwards,” tweeted another.But why are Liverpool fans now suddenly so angry about the failed Guehi transfer, months after it happened? Because they are a foreign side, they can sign Guehi to a pre-contract agreement from January 1, ahead of getting him for nothing in the summer.Liverpool, on the other hand, would need to cough up to land him now, and as some fans pointed out, that will likely cost them a lot more.
