Hmmmmm..... M'thinks you're getting a bit carried away.
He was exceptional in the EL last season, and would in our side play likewise
He's an attacking player with a poor G&A record that has already had 2 major injuries.
He played thirty wo games last season, through injuries, how many games did Winks miss both last season and now this one? Nowadays ACL injuries are a time to recover injury rather than a critical one like they were a decade of so ago. An ACL is the result of a poor tackle and that is beyond any players control.
Since when were they chasing this bloke?
READ what i wrote i did not say that any of those clubs mentioned were after him, i said it's about time we had first dibs of a player ref Fernandes, Willian etc.
Going from a mooted £42m (50m euros) to close to £60m.....?
If Conte wants the player yes. We have allegedly 150 million at our disposal plus transfer money. Levy hasn't stipulated buying five players for 30 million each has he? Paratici hasn't from what i have seen brought in and duds. The kid is just turned 23 (July) and should be good to go for a decade.
He's only a step or so up from a veritable punt.
What player isn't?
Is it better to have two players such as Berj, LoCelso, go pear shaped or one Zaniolo? At some point we the fans have to look beyond the number of the cost and more at the reward. At the end of the day we have much, much, more financial muscle than we ever have.
A young, quick, elusive, tricky Italian international isn't going to come cheap, and i truly feel tha t he will turn out to be better in the long term than Maddison is today.
You look at Sarr, Udoge, Kulu, Parrott, Keeley, Scarlett, Seggs, Spence, White, and Zaniolo and you can see with those nine players alone, where Paratici, Conte and Levy are building for the future.
Sorry to go on.
