Some Liverpool supporters on social media have been reacting after Fabrizio Romano claimed they narrowly missed out on signing Patson Daka this summer.

Fans can’t believe that the owners would be so stingy as to not cough up the cash to sign the Zambian, but as Romano says, Liverpool needed to sell a player before bringing one in.
