Br - Liverpool just paid £15 million to acquire the services of former Swansea City midfield Joe Allen, and some fans aren't exactly elated at the funds that the Reds had to fork over.
Of course, £15 million is a lot of money for a player that hasn't yet proved himself to be one of the world's best, but the Reds didn't terribly overpay for the 22-year-old Welshman.
It's a hell of a gamble, that's for sure, but I think it will work out. The familiarity with how the manager works and what he wants could be benficial, same with Borini as well.
