CRIMHEAD
Player Valuation: £40m
I thought we had money.
We spent 80m on Sigurdsson, Sandro and Klassen. None of which we need.
This is how much players who are good enough cost.
If you are happy buying prospects then fair enough. I thought we had ambition.
Uh, no, I just don't want to blow $50M on Inaki Williams when we've got Vlasic/Lookman/Bolaisse/Henry/Sandro and others that can play the same position as Williams decently AND still not get a CB. We have one of the worst defenses in the league. A target guy and another CB good in the air very obviously solves a lot of the defensive and offensive problems (terrible aerial win rate, terrible at converting set pieces).
It's not lack of ambition, it's lack of intelligence. Don't get me wrong, I love Inaki Williams, but he's not going to make as big an impact as a CB would.
