Liverpool are “not convinced” about Bradley Barcola after his big-money summer move from Paris Saint-Germain, according to former scout Mick Brown.The Frenchman has made a slow start to life as a Reds player, scoring a hat-trick in the 6-3 win away to LASK in the Champions League, but not finding the net in any other game this season.Speaking to Football Insider, Brown claimed that Liverpool are fast losing faith in Barcola already, with the winger not repaying the £123m they paid for him: “I think there will be some big questions asked about Bradley Barcola before too long. They’re not convinced he’s giving them the return they expected when they spent £120million on him, and this isn’t the first time Liverpool have been in this situation.

“You expect, if a player is worth upwards of £100million, that he will regular be involved in goals and make a difference in the final third that you didn’t have before. “I had my doubts about Barcola when Liverpool signed him, because he wasn’t regularly starting games for PSG, he was being used as a subsitute.

There’s no doubting he’s a talented player, but for £120million, they might be regretting spending that sort of money on him if he isn’t going to be at his best every single week. “Even against Palace, he played well, he set up a goal, but he missed some big chances and went through spells where nothing was working.
