Also it's very ugly what Liverpool did. Clubs don't send offers without indications that player is willing to join. We clearly had green light from Lavia camp. And our offer was just 2m bigger than Liverpool one. On the other hand after our 80m bid rejected for Caicedo they offered 111m and 30% sell on clause. So glad we took both from them now.
In 5 of 7 games he played for United with him on the pitch they didn't score. But in 4 of these 5 games they scored when he was replaced or didn't start. In other 2 he didn't had goal contribution as well. Obviously they look better without him. But nothing we didn't knew it would happen.
Based on this quote from his father 2 months ago and his qualities up I think after Nkunku injury we changed priorities. Lavia and Caicedo can play in a pivot. And Enzo number 10. He can be our Zidane like type.
What's crazy is that 3 years ago when we got him PSG didn't want to extend his contract, no top team after him, he was close to Fiorentina and we got him for possibly one year stop gap. Now his 4th season here and not slowing down at all.
And same happened with defence even before. Just Fofana when back in a year replaces Silva and everything else is set. Literally in next 3,5,7 years we need zero new defenders, midfielders...
So once we sent first offer for Lavia Liverpool started panicking an sent that crazy offer for Caicedo. They did raised that transfer for 15-25m but they did not know our pockets are so fucking deep 😆
Solid cameo. This guy will surprise many.
Not a good look on Santos after having full pre season Ugo coming late and already taking minutes ahead of him.
