Player Valuation: £60m
I guess it's a valid concern.
You know I like Dembele but it's the whole will he be Gary Hooper or will he be Van Dijk.
The Scott Sinclair thing is true though. He was great for Celtic last season but i'm sure even you wouldn't want him anywhere near us.
Best to take every player individually rather than to compare to others.
That's the point mate , that league is so poor that rating the goalscoring record of strikers is so difficult . If Dembele was half the prices quoted you might be tempted to take a punt but at the figures mentioned it seems a huge risk .
It's risk vs reward really buying from that league, if Dembele is being priced around 40m, and he flops then you'd take a huge hiton him, if he's priced at 20m then yeah you'd lose still but not hugely.
If Tierney form example is being priced around 15m or so, then a much better buy, crap like Ibe went for the same price last summer
That's what I was trying to say mate but you both beat me to the punch and were significantly more illustrative.
