He's going to have a similar career as Kante - ten years of everyone insisting 'he's not JUST a defensive player, he's great on the ball!' as he continues to come up with two goals and an assist every single season. We've gotten completely allergic to just letting defensive midfielders be defensive midfielders. Rice is another example.

Why are they acting like they are broke when they offering him a salary over £30m per year .
£47m for Neves and reportedly 40m for Fabinho without media mention of even batting an eyelid, but the chance to buy treble winner Mahrez out of the last 2 years of his contract, and suddenly the Saudis have supposedly become the new Tixiki.

Exactly, we aren’t going to compromise on our valuation. The Saudis have money, so cough it up.Why are they acting like they are broke when they offering him a salary over £30m per year .

That's probably what the other clubs like Leipzig say about us LOLExactly, we aren’t going to compromise on our valuation. The Saudis have money, so cough it up.
Those moaning about Raphina, who do you suggest we bring in?
If we can get him for the owed Ferran Torres fee and loaning them Cancelo it's a no brainer. He provides squad depth at the worst, and we can look to improve the position in the coming years when better players come around. It's a dead market for RW's. He's PL proven and shouldn't be expensive. Perfect stop gap if we aren't ready to splash 110m on the top tier.

To some degree....The difference is the Saudi league doesn't have to worry about FFP. We are limited by the rulebook we are subject toThat's probably what the other clubs like Leipzig say about us LOL

Honestly, I'd rather just stick with what we've got.
Oh god no…Of course. Gvardiol is bagged and ready to go through checkout.
Danny Olmo does have some credibility to it.
