Sign a proven Prem player after his best season, with stats that tick all crucial areas we desperately need for £25-30m? Why would that be a) surprising or b) outrageous? I guarantee if he had never played in the Prem but came from France or Spai having scores 13 in 40 from the wing that nobody would care about the price, and be excited. Well happy with this.

Well happy with this. 100% agree. Obviously would prefer it to be as low a price as possible but if it's £30m, it's £30m. Not only does he improve our starting 11 playing on the right but he enhances the depth we have in a number of other positions. Cracking signing.

KingsX Posted 2 July 2019 Share Posted 2 July 2019 Player in his prime, but we won't be able to sell at a profit on £30m. This one is about competing now. Will he improve us enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardyfox86 Posted 2 July 2019 Share Posted 2 July 2019 (edited) "don't worry it's not my money" blah blah blah but £30m seems like alot of money for a guy who's preferred position is taken up by Maddison and (hopefully) Tielemans. Ok he plays wide, but more on the inside channels, will he work in our 4141? Edited 2 July 2019 by wardyfox86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossman Blessed It Posted 2 July 2019 Share Posted 2 July 2019 Considering he got 12 goals in a team that basically limited themselves to a handful of chances per game (to varying degrees of success), I'd say he's got potential. He's at a good age and knows the Premier League well by now too. If Rodgers can see it in him then surely we should be positive about this given that it's his first transfer window? He is certainly an improvement on Ghezzal, Iheanacho, Gray, Barnes and Albrighton (attacking-wise at least), so will make us more competitive.
