Well, actually, you could argue that it is our money that's been filling the clubs coffers. ENIC haven't put a dime in

So Son and Kane top, Jesus not as good as Benteke....
Good example ….. on caution
Deligt is good not great and was supposedly gonna redefine the art of defending
Cheers!
So decent finishing from Rich in recent seasons- that's good considering there's no doubt he also possesses dribbling ability and skills
Supposed tier 1 Gooner ITKs apparently saying Raphina to them is nailed on
Well I see your point. And it’s not mine or your money. So spend it
lets hope its pepe all over again then
Funnily enough i did read that Pepe has a much better goal/assist per minute ratio for Woolwich than Raphina has for Leeds so fingers crossed
Saka to City for the combined cost of Raphina & Jesus to Woolwich
Wrong Italian midfielder. I like Zaniola but, if we’re going to be linked with Inter, Barella please
I think you’re kind of missing the point about running a business. The customers pay for the products and services and not the business owners. At least that’s what they teach you if you do an MBA.Well, actually, you could argue that it is our money that's been filling the clubs coffers. ENIC haven't put a dime in

Kind of a shame, though gun to my head I do believe Richarlison is the more suitable player for our current needs. I fear Raphina (though I absolutely wouldn't turn him down) would simply be trying to compete with Kulusevski while I could see Richarlison being able to start in either Son or Kane's positions when required.
The scum's business is a little strange. Jesus was a no-brainer and will be a default starter (hence why he's settling for them) but I really don't see why they'd try for Raphina when they apparently hype Saka so highly and the money would be far better spent elsewhere on their team.
FYI, I have added in PEA, Lacazette and Nketiah for comparison.
We also need to consider him as a good option at substitute across the front line should we need a different option playing against a side sitting deep. Not to mention that we will have the option of five subs next season.
We are either a smart club or we aren't, as well.
Again, I've never seen this lad play and even if I had, my football scouting ability doesn't go much beyond "he kick ball gud". But the ramifications of buying extremely high on potential talent like this isn't simply a matter spending cash or not. If he bombs, we don't just write him off, it ripples throughout the team for the next few seasons. Unfortunately we're all too familiar with how shitty that can be. You'd want to minimize that risk as much as possible.
Big fee brings big expectations which can make or break a young player too.
It's all a very complicated maneuver. Could it pay off? Absolutely! If the football mad Conte rates him then I'm confident he's got what it takes. But is it the smartest move to make? I don't think so. Our recent bravado filled pragmatism is an exciting way forward. I'd be happy to stay on that track.
