"When very clever people do things that make no sense to you, logic suggests there are three possible explanations: a.) They're so much smarter than you (and everyone else) that you simply can't grasp their brilliance, because they're playing 4D chess and you're playing checkers b.) They're not actually that smart c.) There's behind-the-scenes stuff that we don't know about"
"We know Liverpool believed they needed another defender -- ideally a center back -- because they tried to sign Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace on Deadline Day for around £35 million ($47m) and the deal collapsed, apparently while Guehi was undergoing an MRI. That was in August. Less than a month later, Giovanni Leoni, the young central defender they'd signed from Parma earlier in the window, suffered a cruciate injury that would keep him out for the rest of the season. Now they were down TWO defenders."
Three possible explanations are presented for seemingly inexplicable actions by clever people: they are far smarter, they are not actually smart, or hidden factors exist. Liverpool targeted at least one additional defender, ideally a center-back, and attempted to sign Marc Guéhi for around £35 million, but the deal collapsed reportedly during an MRI. Injuries compounded the problem when Giovanni Leoni suffered a season-ending cruciate injury and Conor Bradley later sustained a knee injury that ended his season, leaving Liverpool shorthanded in defense and intensifying transfer-window urgency.
