Hardly the same is it? Its potentially the biggest fee of all time, to think someone with so little experience isnt worth it is hardly the same as saying he is rubbish? I think hes a really good player, with huge potential that id like to sign but i dont think hes worth a record transfer fee given his lack of experience. I dont think im being too harsh? He has two seasons in the prem playing centre midfielder, a handful of england games there against mediocre opponents, no domestic medals, no champions league experience, no title race experience, no experience in playing in the big games where the pressure is relentless. Its not his fault he doesnt have that experience but if it was my money (and it isnt so i mostly dont give a fk) id want more for my money. U are paying end product money for a player who is potential. People compare to Rice when arsenal bought him but in fairness to Rice he had years of prem experience, hed just won the europa league as captain, played in finals and semi finals of major international competitions….and even then at the time most considered it overpriced. Since then hes done well but he just got ran than through by actual world class centre mids in the cl final.
