I wasn’t. I thought you meant we had Wilson and Isak because of the takeover. 

Fair enough but I think we all know Wilson was here pre takeover. Agree to disagree it’s really not that important

Curious who was the last player we sold that people felt was an error? Players like Merino don’t count as there was a release clause etc.

Personally, I can logically understand and even agree with why he's gone but I'm still a bit gutted about it.

 

It's a cliche, but he's one of those players where you get to your feet when he's on it and gets the ball.

We've obviously not taken the piss with the fee, but it doesn't feel too bad to me. He started 12 PL games last season, 13 more as a sub, so completely missed 13 PL matches. Started 2 of the 8 cup games (and 4 more subs), so he only started 14 of the 46 games. 1 goal and 5 assists - very talented, but being a year older and getting to the stage now where after 3 or so years at a new club, there wouldn't be too much resale value, his stock is definitely lower than what it was this time a year ago, so we couldn't really expect any more than £35-40m at the absolute most.

 

Apart from maybe Almiron at a push, he's the only one of our squad that we could afford to lose and command a reasonable fee, there really is no one else - we'd struggle to get £15m for Targett these days, Murphy similar, and you wouldn't want to lose any of the 15/16 core players that we have, so while it's a shame to see him go, I'm OK with the fee / transfer. Just hope we can get two more defenders in within the next week or two.

Common sense - I love it

I'd have personally been disappointed if we'd paid over £30m for someone who was injured for c.15 games, 3 times out of the last 4 seasons. So not really bothered about the fee. 

 

All the best ASM and thanks for the memories!
