If he will be the overpriced older player with no resale value that we sign.
Not all players require being sold on for profit but I'm sure you're well aware of that.

No but if you also only do it once every 3 years that's really bad too
Guy like this changes everything. Means some midfielders would actually be serviceable not having box to box responsibilities.
Well we don't have to, it just doesn't have to be this player.
Do we desperately need a 6?
Do we have the luxury of waiting 2-3 years for
one to develop into a good player?
Sign this man up.

There’s some serious use of narcotics going on if people think we’re gonna be spending big on anyone, never mind a 28 year old who’s never been in the league.
Obviously anyone improves this midfield but I don’t see the club taking the risk at all, especially when we’re so tight on money.

Everything is risky. Do we pay £10mill on a random from the Belgian league, that “might” be good but knowing us will be crap.
Or spend £20m on a young known PL DM that we expect to be great and will have a value of £50m in 2 years, but will get injured having his photos taken at FF.
Or spend £25m on an older but by all accounts reliable player with no resale value.
I think given we are fancied relegation candidates, purely in defensive midfield we have to go for the “likely to be good this season” option on a player with a back catalogue of good performances.
No idea if this chap fits the profile but people seem very excited so I’m all in and already ordered a a pink top with his name on.

Big thing in all of the above is not just the fee but what the selling club is willing to accept in terms of upfront payments and subsequent deal structure.
This is the main issue/sticking point with any of our targets this summer.
In the case of Betis, due to their own finances not being great (COVID impact), they might be more willing to accept a lower upfront payment than say, Wolves would be for Morgan Gibbs-White (different types of player I know but the club were pretty convinced they would have MGW in already).

Buy this fella, loan either Winks or Gilmour, there’s your 2 man midfield of a fella who can tackle and a fella who can pass through the lines and get us up the pitch without hoofing it. That’s a pairing that works with a 3-4-3.
I really didnt invent a 6 Dave.
