Chapo Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Was there much hype around Boumsong or was he already thought to be shite? I had taken a break from watching us around then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers did well getting him on a Bosman and curiously even better selling him to us for £8m ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe that was also Babayaro's debut as well. Campbell likely owes the career he had after that to those two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that curious when you consider Souness was manager at the time, and probably had links with McKay. Chuck in Freddie Shepherd as the owner and his penchant for some strange deals, and you can work out that £8m probably got split a few ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always gonna be valued too high for us. That’s due to performances in his league and CL not a friendly ffs fuckin hell Almiron would be worth £40m Sesko has scored 6 goals in Austrian Bundesliga and 0 in Champions League in his career. When teams are basing their valuation almost entirely on potential, having a good game against Liverpool even in a friendly is a pretty big thing.

Haaland being such a success from the same club and the 'next Haaland' tag raises his value even more even though it shouldn't have any correlation to Sesko's valuation.

KaKa Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Sesko wasn't a regular starter last season. It was Adeyemi and Okafor starting upfront. That's why his numbers don't stand out. He's stepping into the starting lineup this season and it's going to be his year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
