Surely Benfica wagewise can't blow ANY Prem side out of the water.

Just think it’s a lot of money & pressure for a kid to become our most expensive player before a possible transfer ban when we’ve got players like Mahrez, Jesus and Sane who struggle for game time. We couldn’t guarantee game time to Sancho or Brahim so why is this different? Plus we don’t play with a Second Striker/false 9 so we’d have to change formation. If we did, I’d rather see Sterling/Bernardo there.How so?
Could get Bruno Fernandes and Werner for the price of this kid who only has 1 good season and would disrupt the team.

A lot of speculation there blue.

1) We don’t play with a second striker. The vision from the DoF to the youth teams is we play an attacking 433. Would we switch to a false 9 or would he take the position of one of our attacking midfielders?A lot of speculation there blue. How would he disrupt the team?
2) We’ve got a POTY, one of the world’s most talented wingers and a homegrown u17 World Cup winning midfielder all struggling for game time. We’ve also got Jesus who’d likely play less, and although he’s not hit the heights of his first 2 seasons, is still a talented player.
3) If you spend £70+ million on a young player, it creates pressure on them to both perform and play consistently. What if he’s just had 1 good season and isn’t ready for us yet? What if he dips in form? What if Liverpool push us closely again? Do we drop Aguero for him?
I think we need another striker, but it’s a big gamble considering we’re only 1 point away from Liverpool. Is he the next Mbappe or just having a decent spell in a team that’s flooded with goals?
We don't. We should get this guy thoughWhy? Assuming the reports are true, why do we have to get rid of pl tested players like Sane and Jesus for this guy?
