Did we spend £25m for a player to just sit on the bench?
We spent £25m, when we had no money left to spend, on a 4th choice CH, whenever we have Branthwaite/Gibson filling that slot already, and didnt commit to a new RB (which we have only one of*, and even he is past his best), or a striker (which again we have only one of*)
Baffling
*i class neither JJK or Tosun as good enough to play for our team
 
Sometimes you have to buy players ahead of schedule because they are available now and the players you want to fill the gaps in the squad are not available in the last window
Yeah, i get that. But he wasnt our 1st choice, and by the time we signed him it was clear he wasnt a priority to the squad. Its great signing players for the future as it should set us up for long term growth but not when we have gaping holes elsewhere. For example, an extra £10m (plus a player ;) ) might have got us Sarr, could have got us close to Zaha if you rate him. Could have been used to offer Donnarumma the big salary Raiola will be wanting etc
Instead we have spent it on a player frankly we may/may not use anytime soon.

25m i just the market rate for players now. At least we have a player on the bench we want to bring in.
Tbf he has showed strengths and weaknesses so far. He clearly has the attributes but has been a bit raw. Will be a regular by the end of the season.
