Something about it doesn\u2019t feel right to me.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I look at Isak, and he\u2019s obviously thrown his toys out the pram once Arsenal signed a striker and Liverpool signed a striker. It feels a bit messy to me now.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For me, when I think of Liverpool, it doesn\u2019t look really planned. I don\u2019t think the plan is to buy a striker for \u00a380 million, and then be looking to buy another one for \u00a3120 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In terms of what Liverpool have done in the summer by bringing in players, they\u2019ve spent a lot of money and it doesn\u2019t feel like the Liverpool way of doing things so much.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>A second former Liverpool star, John Arne Riise, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olbg.com\/blogs\/john-arne-riise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OLBG.com<\/a>: \u2018I\u2019d love to get him at Liverpool \u2013 but the price will be extremely high.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Is it worth it?
