The 3 teams you mentioned above mate have done absolutely nothing of note.
People seems to hold these teams in some strange regard...they live to exist mid-table buying and selling players on at profit,nothing more.
I think you can quantum leap...
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...
Having quality experienced players at the peak of their powers raises the quality of the players around them and the performances of the team in general. Let’s say he gets us into Europe - addition prize money, plus experience for our younger...
You're right, of course, but if he had 3 good years here we'd be left with a player with not much of a sell-on value. That's always a consideration. That being said, as long as the rest of your trading is younger players who you can make profit...
Different players suit certain leagues and styles by the way. I wouldn’t get too hung up about him not impressing in Italy. We don’t play in Italy, we play in England. The only thing that matters is does our league suit him as a player? We all...
I get his point to a degree. You do need these youngsters with high ceilings and resale. Signing the likes of Lukaku for 27 million and selling for 90m is clearly of huge benefit to the football club. We picked up Branthwaite for 1 million, we’ll...
Jeez. Here we go again. Now we shouldn’t be signing players who are only 27 years old. Even if they’d be great for us. Absurd.
You can’t have us simultaneously sign young players with potential and also make a quantum leap up the league table...
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...
Yeah I've seen worse fees than that TBH, whether or not it's something we would or could do is a different story. But we're playing 30m for a fairly unproven attacker, and paid 30m for Onana who was equally unproven really. Something about 40m...
