Player Valuation: £50m
Brilliant; been wanting this type of player for ages.While it's not perhaps the change people want, I think there has been some evidence of that over the last couple of years, particularly this summer.
We seem to be avoiding hype and expensive signings and looking to improve the squad for much less up front money, often offering cheaper, shorter contracts with much power fees.
Whether this is just a 1 year aberration while we wait for the rules to be updated, something tied to Benitez or a longer term ploy I dont know.
However we look to have improved the team without having to pay a lot of money. Whereas in the past we have spent a lot of money to not improve the team.
If we can finish the window with Anguissa on loan, the right back for 3m and Hoppe for 2-4m we will have brought in 6 players, for under 10 million quid. It's a marked change, and probably a welcome one.
Youngish, hungry with a point to prove.
Instead, all we have bought for the past couple of seasons has been ageing, money-hungry prima donnas who think they are doing us a favour by being here, Ancelotti included.
