The temptation among Liverpool supporters may be to revel in Moises Caicedo's disappointing debut, given how close they came to signing him for £110million.
Chelsea secured his services for £115m instead and his first contribution was to lazily concede a penalty which completed a 3-1 defeat at West Ham on Sunday.
Yet in Caicedo, the newest British transfer record, Chelsea have secured a terrifically talented 21-year-old. He disrupts and destructs and will only get better with time.
Once he shakes off that rustiness – that appearance at West Ham was his first for a club since May – Liverpool may be left to rue missing out on this midfielder.
