I didn't have any kind of problem with Nicolas and I don't have any problem with Nicolas,

Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guéhi is one of the most sought-after center-backs in Europe and nearly moved to Liverpool during the summer transfer window. Now, Bayern Munich could be among the clubs looking to swoop in and take advantage of Liverpool's inability to get the deal done:

"Transfers are only finalized once the signatures are in place. He [Jackson] is there, and then we'll see. We'll take a closer look at it after the game and act accordingly. It's easy to understand: You negotiate, you reach an agreement, then comes the medical check, and extraordinary things still happen. I can't say what's going on now,"

A single hamstring injury in the 14th minute of a Premier League game and poof, there goes the £69.2million package you agreed with Bayern Munich for Nicolas Jackson. There goes the private flight that was paid for. It was a waste, another one is required for the return. There go all those hours that went into negotiating a £12.9m loan fee with a £56.3m option, not forgetting the sell-on clause that Chelsea would have retained.
