Player Valuation: £8m
Keane did alright for a while when he first came in. In the England setup etc. I think his mentality has been a problem and he never had much pace so he needed someone athletic beside him.
Gomes was very decent until he got a horrendous injury. Gbamin never really got started before he got a horrendous injury so hard to know whether he’d have been any good or not. Holgate never quite made it but wasn’t expensive I don’t think. And Maupay, well god knows! I think we overpayed for Keane and Gbamin which makes things worse. And probably Gomes too after that injury.
I think there is definitely something in the setup there, an attitude issue or something in the club that leads to complacency or deteriorating performances.
It certainly doesn't seem like an environment that's easy to prosper in. Players come here and seem to get worse. When I was growing up under Moyes, it was the opposite. We'd bring in players who had lost their way or were rough around the edges, and it would somehow just work.
