Jake Livermore, he’s an okay footballer, right?
Tidy passer. Fits into a midfield two or a midfield three adequately.
Can even do a job at centre-back if you need.
Not bad at all. The sort of guy who you’d be happy to have in and around your squad.
Wait, West Brom want to pay £10m for him? Ten million pounds? English pounds? You sure?
Are we talking about the same guy, here? Jake Livermore. Jake. Livermore.
Ex-Tottenham. Not awful for Hull but you didn’t really notice that he wasn’t in the Premier League last season? That Jake Livermore?
Ten million? And you’re sure that’s not a typo? Euros, maybe? Well have you checked? Huh.
Oh well, maybe we’re wrong. Maybe other, smarter people have worked out that there’s more to this than we realised.
Maybe we’ve been watching a different guy all this time. Maybe other folks aren’t surprised.
Let’s ask them.
£10 million for Jake Livermore. Jesus wept
