Player Valuation: £500k
That's because in the current market what we paid for Sandro is absolute buttons. In the space of half a season he's had three different managers, a load of new team mates, moved to a new country and after a handful of games we are moving him on.
Now we all know he hasn't set the world alight for us but how can you expect players to improve and become consistent performers if you look to move them on so quickly? Is it not the job of the manager and the training staff to at least have a go at improving a promising youngster who bagged 15 goals in arguably Europe's best league? (Prem for me but...)
What happens if Tosun struggles to adapt to our hit and hope system? Do we sack him off back to Turkey at the end of the season? Surely players have to be given the time they need to settle in before being written off because they can't perform when surrounded by 5 players with no out ball.
It's only been a few weeks and I'm already sick to the back teeth of being fcking hoof ball merchants.
It’s a shame that he hasn’t had more of an opportunity to prove himself but what can we do with him right now? We haven’t got an opportunity to give him a run of games, he hasn’t took the opportunities he has had - he came on against Chelsea (I think, around Xmas) and didn’t look interested. A loan move suits both. 3 different managers have had a look at him in training and none have saw anything from him to give him a go, he’s not the first player to look decent in Spain but struggle here.
If Tosun struggles then I’d assume we’ll be looking at other options in the summer.
