Over £50m for an 18 year old defender?!
I’m no football aficionado but I hadn’t even heard of De Ligt until we were linked with him.
I think our primarily focus should be on getting Jorginho and someone like Bailey or Mahrez in.
We seem to have a proclivity to spend exorbitant amounts on centre backs. Of those we’ve purchased, I would say only Otamendi and Kolo have proven to be good value for money thus far. Nastasic, Boateng, Savic, Mangala and Rodwell all flopped. Lescott was decent but grossly overpriced, and the jury is still out on Stones and Laporte.
