He was far too kind to them in that latest press conference. Clearly we are nowhere near closing any more deals, we are simply wildly lashing bids in at the moment. I haven’t seen anything from this recruitment team to suggest to me they know...
If they reject an offer of around 40m, then we really need to be asking the player to force it from his end before we take it any further.
A massive risk to spend that kind of money on a kid who is all potential and barely any track record.
For 40m+ I'm expecting Richarlison 2 goals on his debut / throwing flares into the crowd levels of ROI.
Going all in on Kubo seems better? We'd at least get some sweet asian tourist money.
Did Moyes comments help? No. Should Moyes have been put in that position on a preseason tour with 14 fit players? Also no. It's an expensive lesson to be learned but they needed to get a move on
