Maintained throughout that the fee we got was way too cheap despite a lot of comments suggesting the opposite. The "£40m for somebody who has barely played is great business" line was always either seriously shortsighted or a really weak coping mechanism. His potential hasn't suddenly appeared from nowhere, we knew what we had or at least should have known and this is what Chelsea were buying, they had us over with that fee.
I don't really have any issue with academy graduates thriving elsewhere, generally good to see them do well, unless they're at a club we strongly dislike but when we are crying out for a player like him ourselves, It becomes a much harder pill to swallow.
He is exactly what we are sorely lacking, creativity and a genuine goal threat from all different areas of the pitch. He's on 6 in the league already now, do we think, grealish, doku and savinho will hit that total over the entire season? I wouldn't bet on it.
