What type of midfielder is he mate? Can you compare him with someone? Is he box to box, or more of a attacking type? He already after 4 games scored more Championship goals than Lawis Baker in four seasons 😂 Did he always scored a lot of goals?
If we bought 100m striker this summer and he performed first few games like Abraham I'm sure he wouldn't get such a treatment on here. Not even close. What do you expect from the boy? Scored two goals today, won us a penalty from the bench against Liverpool, hit the post at Old Trafford, basically just inches away from being a hero there and had just a cameo against Leicester. Let's be honest, this is all because he missed a penalty in Super Cup. It could happened to anyone and tbh it was on Lampard. You don't put a kid to shoot fifth penalty in front of more experienced players like Azpi and Pedro.
To say even before this game he's a Championship level player at best is ridiculous because he scored 26x2 in his two seasons there. Obviously he's to good for that level. I think he will win the fight this season to be one of our two strikers next season.
If Mount continues this way, and RLC become again player from last season after he's back I can see us selling Barkley. We can probably get 50m or more.
We all guess here so I'm going to do the same.
I think Marina doesn't have a clue about football and only cares about financial and marketing stuff. She does transfer negotiations about players she probably never heard of and after being advised. Yeah we all agree we should sell Willian but no way she decided not to. If our board told her 'hey pretty go sell this shitty player' I'm sure she would get us great amount of money like she did with Oscar, Morata, Costa, Ramires, Matic... We did overpay for example for Drinkwater but if Leicester said 35m or nothing someone probably told her go for it.
About this Bakayoko situation if she block the deal it probably means it's not financially good deal for us. Like Monaco only wants to pay half of his salary or something. PSG is in the game for him so we could probably do better.
Yesterday he said for our media that rumours about him going on loan somewhere makes him lough.
Btw January is always quiet so even if we get that transfer window I don't expect anything.
It's not only about age and youth. Pulisic and CHO are better than Willian and Pedro. Mount is better than Barkley and James I'm sure will prove to be better than Azpi. That's not the case with Abraham and Tomori at the moment and that's why they should play less.
True for Morata, probably true for Zappacosta. But no way we get our money back from Bakayoko and Drinkwater. We still pay 50% of Drinkwater's wages and that saves us only around 2,5m this season. And that's only if he stays full season at Burnley not just till January.
