What I got from this clip was, that we shouldn’t be buying a goalkeeper from over there....Shocking standard!
The problem is that even a £60m player can be a punt these days. Man Utd spent £59.7m on Di Maria, who was considered one of the top few players in the world, and look how that turned out.We've got a few "cheeky punts"already in the squad, N'Koudou and Jansen to name a few, who end up doing nothing but bloat the squad, take up valuable non-HG spots and end up serving out their time in the stands.
We need quality, not quantity imo. Better one 60m player than three 20m players..
Hannes Wolf sounds like a Scandinavian death metal band
Great response.The problem is that even a £60m player can be a punt these days. Man Utd spent £59.7m on Di Maria, who was considered one of the top few players in the world, and look how that turned out.
Sanchez, at £42m, was far from guaranteed to hit the ground running. We could have bought five Foyths for the same money and had £2m to spare...if one or two pay off and the others struggle, that's still pretty good, in both footballing and business terms.
I think the real question is what we're trying to sign: players for the future / to add depth, or someone to instantly improve our starting XI. The latter means not only finding a big transfer fee, but also fighting off interest from big clubs who pay higher wages.
SozYou don't really know anything about Scandinavia or death metal, do you?

Btw I meant our Sanchez, not Alexi.Great response.
It's also worth noting that a player as individualistic as Sanchez would not appeal to Poch, he wants players he can coach. That's why potential is much more appealing to us and I don't mind that one bit.
