Nothing new I can recall the likes of midfielders: Dave Connor, Stan Horne, Bobby Kennedy, Glyn Pardoe, etc. playing at left back long before the time of Fabian Delph and Oleks Zinchenko.

Gaya not good enough? He's just been there forever as he is one of many Spanish players that fear the adventure of playing in a different country, nothing to do with not being good enough. Would we say Totti, Terry, Slippy G were not good enough because they played for the same team throughout their career? If Foden stays for the next 12 years, would there be any talk of him not being good enough to play for Madrid or any other club that may show interest in signing him in the future?

Hes been there forever because hes not kicked onto the top level as a footballer.

If he does actually have a fear of other countries or leaving Valencia then thats hardly a ringing endorsement is it. He will be crying for Spain next summer and we will be forced to cut our losses and have some nonsense loan deal back to Valencia.

I don't see what relevance Terry, Gerrard or Totti have with this, they were all top class players playing at the highest level for club and country for several years. Perhaps Totti and Gerrard would have more trophies if they left their clubs but they won several titles during their careers and are well regarded as top footballers.

Unlike Gaya who has been battling mid table for the past several seasons.

Playing for a mid table team is not an indication of a players ability, also like I said he is a Spanish player and players from Spain as well as Italy tend to feel at home when they literally play at home. That's why players like Iniesta and Xavi played at home throughout their careers (yes they played for a mammoth team), again that's not a sign that they were crappy players but like you said, a player being rattled by the idea of playing in a different league isn't an endorsement, so on that point I agree with you but the fact that a player decides to play for a midtable team for his entire career is no indication of the players ability, Letissier comes to mind.

Come on mate, your going back to the 90s to find an example of a player who could have played at a better club but decided to stick to his home team. We will never know if LeTissier would have been the same player anywhere else.

If Gaya had kicked on like his potential suggested then someone would have taken the chance on him. He might have bailed and ended up back at Valencia but at least he gave it a go.
Its a moot argument, id be floored if Gaya is anywhere near our list of targets.
 
I’d take Guerreiro - Portugal international - experienced - very high goal , assist threat. More established than Sosa , Ait-Nouri

How much we talking?
 
Every player has a price. We fleeced them on Haaland just as they fleeced us on Sancho. £30m and throw Delap in for 2 seasons loan.

Clubs that sell can’t afford to hold grudges.
