We may have overpaid for Lamela, but Sanchez regardless of price would not have come to us.

Exactly this, Kroos went to Madrid for 20m, Pedro to Utd for around 25m, even if we could afford that we'd still have no chance.

Not really that much when you think we paid £30m on a potential 2 years ago.

How much are you expected to pay for potential these days?

The media reported £30m, but the official Roma website stated 30m Euros, which is the same as we paid for Soldado. Clearly they didn't just want to write an article about us breaking our transfer record for the third time of the window...

And this is exactly why this thread has been a fuckin nightmare.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about and just want to throw your negative opinion around for the sake of it. It's so boring now it really is.

33 appearances breaks down to 15 actual starts and the remainder of his apps were off the bench.

He scored 7 goals and got 7 assists in pretty much only the 2nd half of the season.

Why don't you hold onto your shit until you've seen him play, if after that you want to have a moan about him then be my guest. Until then, give it a rest yeah.

We paid circa 10m for Bale when he was 17 and many thought he wasn't good enough
and no one could have predicted how good he got

I remember watching him play in the Youth Cup final that Saints lost to Ipswich. I started a thread on COYS titled "Better than Walcott" :smug:.
