Thing with Allan is his age is irrelevant really. Look around the league now and you see players like Fernandinho, David Silva and even James Milner still playing their best football well into their 30s. Players are generally more fit and can last longer now with the proper back room staff behind them and attitudes. If we signed Allan for €40m because it is Euroes that they’re asking for so it’s probably like £35m spread out over 4 or 5 seasons I’d have no problem with that at all. I’m all for signing young players but we need some experience too because all we’ve got is Baines who doesn’t play anymore and Coleman who we’ve been looking to replace. Ideally Gylfi would be that but he’s so far off the level we’re looking to be at.
Hes 29, he hasn't played anywhere other than Italy and Brazil.
Hes not good enough to play for Brazil, the players you mentioned have played in England for years and have shown they could adapt, the majority of players take time to adapt to this league, by the time he adapts he could be already finished.
Wish people would stop acting like hes an elite player, he's a crapper.
