He did try. Look, I like the guy as a player. Do I think he's an elite attacking mid? No. Do I think he can become a very, very good one in our squad under Pep? Yes. 90 mil for me should get you a near elite level middie. Forget the bullshit going on in the Prem. Outside of Bellingham who is considered to be on an entirely different level 90 mil is still considered to be a shit ton on the continent. You do realize that 90 mil in France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal is still considered to be big, big money.
That said, are you telling me that on the face of last night's game alone not knowing we have an interest and a need you would come away from watching with the thought that Eze would be someone we should pursue? I've seen him be impressive many times, but please stop trying to tell me he was impressive yesterday v. Arsenal...
For the record, I've NEVER been one to question the club's moves in terms of who we want to buy or sell and especially for how much. I tend to pay attention to how we play, who plays, where and when, injuries, tactics, opponents, and such. This one at this amount just struck me in a weird way.
If we do wind up getting Eze regardless of the fee then it's onward and upward for me...
