He's a superstar! The ultimate Michael Edwards transfer is here The ultimate Michael Edwards transfer is here, and he's a superstar. The club's former sporting director who is now working under FSG as the CEO of Football Operations has been under fire recently.
Liverpool spent £450m in the summer and that was done under Edwards' supervision. A lot of fans have been quick to cast judgements on the massive investment - but this is wrong. Transfers need at least two to three years to be properly judged - just as rebuilds take time.
Rome was not built in a day and neither will Liverpool rise from the ashes within a day either. Edwards has dealt further frustration from FSG's reluctance to sanction a multi-club deal. This was a major incentive for Edwards to return to work with the club's American owners but it looks like the idea has become dormant.
For Edwards and his recruitment team who look to bring players in who are under the radar, this is a significant disadvantage when it comes to their negotiations. Young players want to play regularly and that is all they care about. At Liverpool, the standards are so high, some talented young players will chose alternative paths where they will be guaranteed more regular minutes.
