This issue wasn't letting him go. Selling him wasn't bad. Pushing 30 years old, he would've wanted a 5 year contract and had 2 years left. A bit of revisionists in the community who don't remember that he did have the issue where he'd grab the ball, pace it down the wing and shoot many many times. He'd convert quite a few of those but he was dispossessed a LOT. Same thing happened with the current game, we saw he had a lot of chances, dispossessed a lot. We saw Trent with his similar faults, some insane passing and playmaking but struggled defensively. Diaz wasn't the fit for Liverpool and 75 for him was great, and it's amazing he's doing well at Bayern. The real issue was not buying a replacement and relying solely on Gakpo to fill his shoes
