Player Valuation: £40m
I understand that. But why wait until 3-4 games into the season before bringing a player in. If Lukaku's hammy really was gone, we'd be left with Kone as our solitary first team striker. He hasn't mentioned anything about signing a striker. That is the most worrying thing.
Maybe the players he wants are not available yet.
Van Dijk for example, celtic have mentioned all summer they wanted to keep hold of him so they can qualify for the group stages as that would make them 16 million quid. Once they have qualified/gone out they may look to sell after that
Sergi Roberto - Maybe Barca wanted to assess their whole squad before letting him go, or maybe they were going to let him go and he has came back from pre season a new man and Barca have changed their mind
Could also be a case as we have had to re asses and re work on our targets as our main targets have gone elsewere or want to stay at their club e.g Dann, Payet, Ogbonna, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri (im not saying we have actualy been in for all them)
Plus if it takes a little longer to get a better deal and get your moneys worth, im all for that
