Watching the England game last night, his quality was clearly evident for all to see. A monumental cock up on our clubs (Poch/Levy) part. Even at a combined £ 22 million it would have still been a sound deal.
Still should have done it.
Also, Barkley was coming off that grade 3 hamstring tear, which are severe. For a player who relies on his athleticism & guile, having such a injury increases the likely hood that it could rupture again. Add in Poch's grueling sessions and you have recipe for a long injury layoff. *EDIT* I wish we had signed him pre-injury and post contract expiration as he was always the ideal Dembele replacement.
