Diaby going for 60m when we had to sell ASM for peanuts and still got people waffling about the saudis doing us a favour was a kick in the teeth. Saudis prioritize their league ahead of us and that's fine, it'll be even more frustrating if they carry on buying our rivals players for a hefty fee. Whichever way you spin it £130m for Dhuran and Diaby is mental money. So was £40m for Fabinho.
I've been a Mbeumo fanboy for years but our bench basically told us a lot yesterday.
A cb, a rb, a goal keeper, a right winger, a midfielder
Realistically we're not getting all of that if we splash £60m on Mbeumo
Honestly mate considering we've managed to win a trophy which some people who have supported the club longer than my dad's been alive haven't experienced..
We are on the cusp of getting top 4 with a team that still has players from the Ashley era yet you pick on a signing that in the grand scheme of things is absolutely miniscule is incredible.
But still more power to you, must be mentally draining to just wake up and find anything to beat the horse with after a defeat or whatever.
It was a £400k punt. At best it pays off, at worst it's a few weeks wages for one of our players. Wouldn't surprise me if he does semi decent in la Liga or Portugal tbh
Genuinely was looking forward to some people providing insight on how he would fit our team, what Howe could make of him etc
I love / hate this place at times
