Plenty of buzz around him for a while. If it was possible to guarantee that the recent injuries aren’t indicative of recurring issues, then I’d go for it. But not £30m. Low £20’s, plus £5m add-ons if we win the quadruple, and Wimbledon. Can’t be blowing £30m on a player of any age that isnt first team ready on day 1, or is likely to miss a quarter of every season so we need to be very sure. Our £30m purchases need to either be nailed on starters and/or be worth £50m in 2 years to recycle them.
Mr Trivago got him quickly in around around the first team when he went there if that’s any indication, which probably wasn’t the original plan.
