The way FSG and Klopp operate, it is not low risk even at 10 or 20 million. Even if Daka is not that great, Klopp will have him for a year or two as he is a loyal guy. And I don't think FSG will sanction a "take a punt" signing at 17 million and another actual signing. We can't afford another Minamino, Tsmikas, Keita-type signing.
We have a narrow window left with this team to compete for the league and CL and this team deserves it. The new attacking signing whether it is a striker, winger, attacking midfielder needs to have a Jota level impact. That will be the difference between winning trophies or yet another season spent on chasing CL places. It is not about the actual money spent, 10 or 50 million. It is about the cost of this signing not working out.
