Or he could make two game winning challenges. Who knows?
One thing for certain is that neither of those scenarios is possible if he’s not even signed.
Those hypothetical extra points could be worth a lot more in May than saving a couple of million quid in January.
If we believe the player is of the elite-level standard required, then it is a false economy to spend a disproportionate amount of time and effort haggling over a ‘few bob’.
If we don’t think he’s worth what is a relatively small sum to pay for a player we aspire to be part of a trophy winning...
I don't know. We had played with 9 vs 11 men for 45+ minutes on Monday night and then the same players had to go again for the early Saturday kick-off. Not long to recover both physically and mentally.
I reckon this was partially responsible for the display we saw.
Do we only measure ‘upsides’ in pounds and pence, nowadays?
Surely, the (most important?) upside to us is that we have had a player contributing to our success, if he does very well. If he would have helped us qualify for the CL then that is £20m well spent, IMO.
So cut off your nose to spite your face?
Yet, we happy to loan out our players with no option attached.
Do you think Sevilla gave a crap that Gil was coming back to us as they were lifting the Europa League trophy last season?
I don’t get this insistence that we need some sort of option on loan players. If we want 100% control then we should stump up the cash to buy him outright.
This feels like trying to have your cake and eat it when in reality beggars can’t be choosers.
Loads of big clubs loan players with no...
Did someone else pick the team?
No excuse for rotating so heavily.
It’s on him and I reckon he will hold his hands up to his error.
He learnt a hard lesson tonight in that you can’t take liberties against a Premier League club.
