Liverpool may have had a quiet summer in the transfer window, but perhaps one deal that's gone a little under the radar is getting 27.5 million for Fabio Carvalho as he left to join Brentford.
Even if Carvalho had some promising moments in pre-season, prompting LFC legend Phil Thompson to describe him as a very clever footballer, it’s clear that now looks like a great fee for such an underwhelming player.
Liverpool fans might not be too surprised to see that Carvalho is now struggling at Brentford, having barely started any games for Thomas Frank's side since joining in such an expensive deal.
Liverpool must be wondering how they got so much money from his sale, in what was clearly some smart negotiating by the board, even if they had their critics at times for failing to bring many new names in.
