Why would a manager buy a player that does not fit his i say again his system ?
Especially after coming out and stating he would not buy him ! unless his hand was forced or that LFC would not fork out the fees and wages to sign a class striker and there was no option but to buy him or start the season with no new striker !
Simple, he just didn't know that Balotelli won't fit his system. Won't be the first time this kind of thing would be happening. His first signing Borini is also not fitting his system, same can be said about Markovic or Aspas or Alberto or Lovren, to name a few. Maybe FSG are buying remotely themselves.
