Player Valuation: £60m
Nothing guarantees anything. But spending what is rumoured to be all of our money on a gamble seems foolish and says to me we haven’t learnt anything.Funny thing is I think the first compassion I heard to Shearer was Shearer saying it himself.
Same stuff could have been said about Gordon to Newcastle btw, they paid for a player who'd not shown anything on a regular basis and who basically refused to train showing a certain unprofessional attitude doing so. But he worked out.
The markets changed mate, 40m doesn't get you a guarantee of anything these days.
It’s a little different going from us to Newcastle though. Newcastle genuinely have a top class striker and a great midfield supporting him which he didn’t have here.
Everyone goes on about how good brightons set up is (even maupay looked decent there), and then expect him to come to our team and do what exactly? Make all our other players 10x better?
