I would rather sign Gilberto Mora for £30m than sign Alex Scott for £100m. Similar profiles, same position, similar strengths. Mora is good enough and mature enough to come in and play loads of games too. In fact, it would regress his potential if he doesn’t play immediately. Mora is a Pedri, a Jude Bellingham, a Dele Alli — a teenager who you need to trust to just walk into your side and he will make a huge impact to your team because he will play without fear and open up new spaces to attack through and lift all the players around him by playing to their strengths. I think he would be a fantastic addition to our team on the pitch. But off the pitch as well, he would instantly become one of the most marketable players in our squad. We would sell millions of kits in Mexico. Liverpool’s broadcasting revenue would go up in that region too. He would cost less than Scott, he would perform just as well, if not better, and he would expand the club’s global presence. We have to get it done.

What does he even do

Darrow is so interesting to me because in many ways he rejects it in his own mind but on the battlefield when you see from the person who meets him’s perspective it’s very obvious he plays into it. Darrow has from day one enjoyed conquering it’s clear he uses it in some regard.
