I was just taking a look at his Wiki page, for unrelated reasons, and came across the fact that he's scored 31 goals in 52 PL appearances for us. That's insane. Dude is elite in every aspect.
That was my take too. They didn't check anyone in or anything at either of the events it was just first come first served type situations.
They just want our data.
Why go through all the hubbub of making us an "elite" Adidas club and paying us lots of money for the privilege just to give us something basic as fuck and completely uninspiring like that?
When it all washes out, I'd rather have a great shot stopper that is okay with their feet rather than an okay shot stopper who is great with their feet. Ten times out of ten.
I guess I thought the consensus was different than that.
Although to be fair I stopped reading when someone was suggesting Barkley being a Bruno replacement, even late in games.
