TheHulk 2,438 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Think everyone agrees spending that hefty fee for Gvardiol is worth it, if not in the short term in the long run, we had a chance in the summer yet the owner for some reason decided not to give into Leipzig's demands after a summer where he overpaid massively for just about everyone. I saw Cucurella get skinned alive by a 16 years old guy last week but the owner had no problem overpaying for him but somehow pulled the plug on Gvardiol, what a strange person, for someone who talks about data when recruiting he seems to do the complete opposite, although maybe Cucurella will turn good at some point so far signs don't point to it.

Cucurella was a shit buy, especiallyfor that cray price. Warned on it. He was pushed on us before last summer too and I said no then as well.

Did we pull the plug or did Leipzig (logically) decide to wait before finalising anything? Edited December 16, 2022 by Strike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to see, but I wouldn't take much from it. Would have been fine if he was up to it as a footballer. It wasn't his talk that was the problem. 🙂 DDF is streets ahead of Rom technically so he already looks to me like someone who should be able to walk his talk better than Rom ever could. I like DDF, and will be delighted if we bring him in. Adding the Russian lad would make it a pleasing, and very encouraging, window. Encouraging in that we'd be getting the right level of prospect, at the right end of the market. The end of the market where some instances of failure must be expected, but where failures are not financially ruinous, and where success is automatically a jackpot.

Don't see we have any choice but to hope that the injury won't be terminal, as you fear. The real problem of course is that we should never have paid anything even remotely close to £80m for him.
