Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to react after Scott Parker commented on the tribunal regarding Harvey Elliott’s move from Fulham to Anfield.
As The Telegraph state, Liverpool beat Barcelona and Real Madrid to the 17-year-old’s signature after his contract at Craven Cottage expired.
However, because they developed him, Fulham are owed compensation.
Having failed to settle on a fee with the Reds, the case went to a tribunal where Liverpool were ordered to pay £4 million and give Fulham a 20% sell-on clause, as The Athletic state.
The Athletic previously said that Fulham wanted £10 million, and Parker doesn’t sound best pleased with the outcome.
Sky Sports quote him as saying: “£4m for a player we have developed, given his Premier League debut at such a tender age, he is one player that we thought the world of, and helped him in that process.
“To then leave like he did… and go to a tribunal where you get £4m, or up to £4m like has been suggested. It’s certainly from my position, it’s madness really.”
Liverpool fans have since discovered what Parker said about the situation, and have taken to Twitter to react.
They don’t sound too sympathetic, to say the least.
One fan said that Parker was ‘whining’ while another said ‘cry me a river’ in response to the Fulham manager’s words.
Others simply tried to justify why £4 million and a 20% sell-on fee is more than enough compensation for Fulham’s work with Elliott.
The teenage wonderkid is currently shining on loan at Blackburn with four goals and eight assists in 23 appearances.
Let’s see what they’ve been saying about Parker’s comments…
