It might be a case of late window english prem player tax.
Not giving Palace enough time for a replacement and over paying.
I agree with the above poster that at like 60m I think thats right, but a +30m tax for what I stated takes it to 90m.
Devils advocate now.
He is a left winger and can rotate with Grealish and can also play in the half spaces as a threat like Foden and Alvarez.
The fact this player isnt a box to box midfielder (I thought we were getting depth for Rodri) must mean Bernie is permanently a defensive midfielder.
Our attacking options behind Haaland would be:
Foden, Alvarez, Grealish, Eze, Doku, Palmer
Which is also very young, mostly english, and has a balance of control, dribbling and goals. It looks good on paper.
90m is too much, thats Barella lvl imo but might be the tax for great depth.
