He's 33 in a few weeks, so I'm not particularly convinced we'd go for someone like this as we'd need to be offering him more than an end-of-the-season deal.
It's not like he's even at Ibra level, who was still pretty peak for PSG at 34.

Very few clubs sign ageing superstars on mega wages.
Those who do either have more money than sense (Man Utd), or are horribly run (West Ham or AC Milan).
We don’t fall into either category.

Or the other category being, that they're still good players with something to offer.

That's not really a category of club tbf.
A player like that still applies to the categories @King of Otters mentioned. If he comes in one much higher wages than the other players, and is either crap (Falcao at Utd) or hardly plays (Falcao at Chelsea) then it can nuke a team's morale/finances.
On a free until end of season - definitely. On the basis that PSG obviously want more than £10m for him, it would be a bit reckless on our part.

Agree with that. Free or loan yes. Money for him at 33 no.

Rashford has fractured his back, so wouldn't surprise me if Red Ed was after him. Very Man Utd style signing.

Until they aren’t. At which point we’re stuck with a player on huge wages with no sell on value. Sounds right up Levy’s street.
Liverpool are the most successful club in the world right now, with one of the best track records in recruitment in recent years. Do you think they’d entertain a signing like this for a second?

I wouldn't be against a paid loan in some aspects, Ade style, just don't think it would be clever to sign him permanently. At least on a loan with an expiry contract you've got some sort of motivation out of them, and aren't lumbered with them if they can't cut it.

Edward has less than 2 weeks, not enough time for him to negotiate lol

Because they don’t make shitty short term signings like this.

Of course speaking of an absolute joke, you will remember that we sold all of those strikers and left ourselves with Bent and some absolute duffer on loan from Utd
- dear leader has big time previous for this.

I think he's trying to force a move to Atleti - put in a transfer request this morning according to Sky.

Yet we had some ITK from Yakster in the main thread saying we have enquired. Though Dragon1 also says probably not.

And Eriksen set for Inter. Can't see Eriksen being used as a makeweight in any swap deal when he's free to negotiate with any club that best suits him
