But...

The reality is there is a solution here.

I think Liverpool need him.

And you go to Arne Slott and say, hey, big boy Arne, you had this guy around.

It's not like you locked him in the toilet while you were here.

You just didn't start him.

Especially if you're going to start playing this diamond or whatever you're going to do going forward with Isakao and unsure of Salah.

Elliott can cover multiple positions for you.

We need him.

And he's free.

And he's our player.

That's the whole point.

So Al-Waleed bin Talal, of course, is a Saudi billionaire.

The reason this is important is that the whole boom in Saudi came about because the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia, which is the country's sovereign wealth fund,

They essentially took over four big clubs, Al-Halal, Al-Etihad, Al-Ahli, and Al-Nasser, of course, with Cristiano.

And they pumped a lot of money in there.

And as part of the effort,

the thinking was, okay, we're going to make the Saudi pro league really big.

Uh, we're going to kickstart it with essentially the government's money because that's what a sovereign wealth fund is.

The people's money.
