Fitzgerald Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Love this mental theory that Rafa Benitez doesn’t like young player you can sell on Rafa signed Koulibaly at 22 for £7m now worth £100million on his own. Rafa signed Jorginho at 22 for £8m now worth £50million. Also played a big part in coaching Longstaff into a potential £50million player. The work Rafa did on Longstaff out of possession doesn’t get enough credit on his value. Afternoon mrs Benitez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Weird as fuck this tbh. No it's not, he's a very good player. Good at everything really; decent dribbler, good target man, eye for a pass, power, great work-rate. 40 million is a bit on the high side, but I really like him as a player and it's nice (all things considered) that we've finally made a move for the top target on our list for a change.

TRon Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Weird as fuck this tbh. It really is, not only because we are spending £40m on an unknown player, but that no other club seems to be interested. If he was all that, you would have thought there would be plenty of competition for his signature. Not hard to see why people are seeing something fishy about it all.

TRC Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hope he breaks his leg first match Bizarre. Anyone who wants a player to break a leg, for no apparent, is a cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It's so fucking weird. We overpay for a player when nobody else appears interested. And lowball when there's competition. Fucking backward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'd love to see the details of this deal. Just how little is paid up front, and how much is hidden in bonuses and meant to be paid over time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Will be interesting to see if he can match Rondon for goals, assists, work ethic and attitude. At 3x the price, I would hope so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlito Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Seems this deal has placated plenty on social media. Hence Ashley gets a portion of the 12k unsold tickets sorted. He knows what he's doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 40 million does not equal a few season tickets like. Ashley's thick as fuck and I doubt maths is his strong point though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For months it's been "doesn't matter what we get for them" I think people just find it weird. It's not Ashley. Nor does it seem sensitive in terms of our general recruitment. We need quite a few good players. How does this deal effect that? Anything doesn't mean shit in the end though. It's still Sports Direct United.

I'm saying a section of our fan base will be fickle enough to jump straight back in now that we've paid £40m for one player who's going to wear the #9 shirt.
