3 mil would be too much

This guy has shown nothing

Our recruitment is so fucking bad FFS

Regardless of Ange or any other managers , nothing will change til we stop spunking money on bang average footballers
 
I mean maybe with age he goes on and improves, but based on what we’ve seen I wouldn’t buy him for 30 or 50million. What are we actually getting for that money? Where has he actually shown you something where you said “ah ok, that’s what he does”.

I think he had a good game, or maybe half a game in Europe once this season where I started to believe a bit and sat up thinking maybe this is what he brings as he seemed to be having a good game by the standard of his time here so far… but then it just sort of fizzled.

Honestly, more expensive but put the money toward someone like Mbuemo, proven in the league and looks more of a player. Even if he’s a bit older, we need players that can do it now, not more that might do it eventually.

I see a lot of physical attributes and attacking intent in his play that would dominate youth levels of competition and impress coaches and scouts. He's a very "switched on" player.

But he's 20 years old and has 120 senior professional appearances, he's not a novice anymore, and I just did not see the sparks of quality in his play that would tell me he's going to figure it out and make good on the promise.

But then again, a player of his gifts only needs to *kinda* figure it out to become very valuable. This is the exact conversation United had about Anthony Elanga, and Elanga is still more flash and moments than a truly complete footballer, but he's certainly become a strong Premier League performer nonetheless.
