Joao Palhinha is 29 years old. When many wanted us to sign Nunes (when we were linked) i said Palhinha was the superior player.
Not sure which 'Carlos' you mean?
I also have been saying we should bring in Wharton for the best part of 2 years.
Comparing Onana at 22 with Palhinha at 29 i see the following:
A: Bayern can watch Palhinha week in week out playing DM. They see Onana out of position as a CM.
B: Do clubs take a chance on Onana based on his Belgium form and the odd game where he's used as a DM with us?
C: Why would a £47.5mil 29 year old signing make sense for Bayern over a 22 year old £50mil player? They cant take any chances due to failures last season and need an instant impact player.
Does the Onana fee make sense at all?
Palhinha £47.5mil 29years old
Caicedo £115mil
Lavia £58mil
Onana £50mil !?!?!?!?
