Because English players attract a premium.Why ?
Is he more or less mobile than say de Jong or Busquets?From what I’ve seen of him he hasn’t got the mobility required for a Fernandinho replacement in my opinion. He is more of a matic type player which isn’t what we’re looking for. But as usual I put my trust in Pep and Txiki because they know a lot more than me
West Ham will be thrilled, gone from a £25-£30m player to a £50m player.
On the flip side, will probably be more sort after now; more Euro/World Cup appearances, more opportunity on the big stage.
Only because they’re homegrown , which he would be either way. Actually I dont think with the exchange rate and what teams in europe are asking for players like DeJong the premium for home grown players is all it was. Rice, DeJong, Ndombele will all be roughly the same price if they all move this summer.Because English players attract a premium.
Exactly. Yet Dejong and to a lesser extent Ndombele have done it in at a far higher level and posted twice as many games. English tax.Only because they’re homegrown , which he would be either way.

Can’t comment re Busquets has he hasn’t played in this league. De Jong much stronger in the tackle and solid. I think the game is quicker now than when De Jong played for us.Is he more or less mobile than say de Jong or Busquets?
Sorry, I meant Frankie, who we were linked with a lot.Can’t comment re Busquets has he hasn’t played in this league. De Jong much stronger in the tackle and solid. I think the game is quicker now than when De Jong played for us.
