I'm not arguing that paying massive on an unproven player is better, just that it's not a guarantee that KK will be really good for 3-4 more years. Plenty of players see a noticable drop when they turn 30. While plenty remain high quality, you also have some like Bonucci who have a noticeable drop off compared to how they were viewed in their late 20s.
Honestly I’d love to sell Maguire and Lindelof for what we bought them for and go out and sign Ruben Dias and Pau Torres.
Yeah but this Torres is a left footed CB which we need because Maguire and Lindelof are an accident waiting to happen.
Like I said, no way is he taking a pay cut. He'll sit in the stands or go golf and collect that money. If Arsenal want him to go, they're going to have to pay him to do so. It's his right.
Ben White was definitely a LFC target but we ran out of money. LFC can’t justify that price tag for a back up in this economy. I suspect they will be keeping an eye on hi if he stays at Brighton though. Really good player. Hopefully Agent Lallana can do a job.
I mean it’s all relative to the player. Koulibaly while still a smart defender relies a lot of his physical gifts. So once those go he’s going to deteriorate quickly and around age 30 is when that starts to happen. Just depends though, he could age well physically and it couldn’t be an issue or he can adjust and still be very good.
He's definitely done the job. With CL next year though the quality of Jimenez would be a great add for y'all. I read he has one of the best returns in terms of winning goals across the top 5 leagues.
I thin Jimenez is definitely an upgrade on Ighalo so if we can get him in addition to Sancho, Torres; and a DM great but if buying him stops us from getting any of those 3, then it’s a waste of money.
