All very legitimate points and questions.

Ultimately, it's a gamble on how likely he is to fulfill his promise. I'm not necessarily opposed to him but I'm not really excited by him either based on what I've seen thus far. I just think that there's a certain amount of extra shine he has on him by being a one-time Bayern wonderkid. Bergvall has had a lot more time to get settled, but you could see the quality in him from the start that we haven't really seen in Tel yet.
Leaving the alleged transfer fee to one side.

Who else is going to be better, that we could afford, that would come to a team likely to finish seventeenth in their league with a new manager going in to a new season.
 
I’ve actually liked Tel and Odobert tonight, it hasn’t come off for them but it does feel more dynamic than Son/Johnson and Odobert feels like the only player who regularly runs at people which is what we need.

Tel… still massive question marks and I’m not sure I’d pay anywhere close to 50mil for him.. but under a proper manager maybe he is used in a way that shows it more. Definitely think Odobert could be decent for us though.
