I stand by my original positing

no way does 3 out of 13 seasons being good to great, and the rest mediocre, make him a player worthy of the 6th highest ever valuation at one point

he also missed SO many chances in a lot of that 3 year period

ah fair enough maybe that valuation was excessive, and it also contained the English tax.
Tbf, he never was a great finisher, but again, he used to be far far more mobile; still wish we had that player vs whatever we ended up with. 🤷‍♂️

we will turn down Confrence League if we qualify

so little prize money and we would have to go under the far stricter UEFA FFP scheme to play in it

What if we play Europa League qualifier and relegate to the Conference League, can we still reject?

at that point, if we are playing in the Europa League, we would have already agreed to submit to the UEFA FFP regime, so it would not matter

Gusto, Palmer and Caicedo all fucking excellent last night

Gusto and Palmer are very good players. They're probably the only two signings since the Cowboys came in where you can say we got value for money. You can maybe add Petro to that list. 

As for Caicedo, I wasn't impressed again. Sure he puts himself about and loves a tackle but so does Gallagher and he gets call 'Gallagdog' for it. For me Caicedo is still having little to no impact on the ball and his habit of having to go to ground to tackle is largely due to his habit of getting into a bad position. As Maldini said, 'if I have to tackle, it is because I have done something wrong'.

I agree with bits of your Caicedo analogy and I have been his biggest critic on here at times. The last few games he has made a massive contribution, some of his little pinch tackles at crucial areas of games has been superb. It might not be the glitzy last ditch challenge but him pinching the ball and breaking up attacks and play has been really good and something some will overlook. He is far from the 100M player we paid for but I can see him only getting better.
