Well I’m older than you :lol:
Happy with older players but I wouldn’t want to pay what I assume Juve would want for him. If he’s a loan or less than £20m great.
Luiz is very much a deep-lying "playmaker", we all know this. If he came and performed like he did during his final season at Villa, the questions over his age wouldn't even be raised. As I've said already today, his set pieces alone would get us...
We have done similar to them, though, mate. Look how we found Branthwaite and what his value is now. The other side of the argument is that you need the slightly older heads in the squad more often than not. I say older when I'm almost 40, Luiz...
Yes, he was, but was it his resale value you immediately thought about or were you happy we were signing a decent player?
The better teams are more likely to attract the younger players due to the modern conception of chasing Champions League...
This has a figure of 15m euros, not sure where you’re seeing 40m? He’s literally only just turned 27 too so a four year contracts sees him spend his peak years here 27-30/31. For that price it’s a no brainer.
We signed Gueye 68 years ago from...
Mate, no offence, but were you thinking of resale value when we signed the likes of Lukaku? I know the likes of Bolasie and Sigurdsson are counter arguments and make people cautious, but sometimes you need to sign a player at their peak to bear...
A lad who's adequate as a 4th choice and willing to be a 4th choice. We probably haven't produced an above average centreback since Richard Dunne and he was imported from Ireland as a kid. The chance of a u23 or u18 we own being able to handle...
If we have an academy player that has the potential to play for England, he should be getting games somewhere to continue his development. He shouldn't be stunted as a 4th choice centre half where he'll likely get only a few minutes playing time.
