Cost wise that’s true, wages I don’t know but space in midfield I think we’d only sign him if we know at least one of Gundogan and Bernardo were leaving.
Maybe, maybe not. That's not what the claim stated though, and it remains wrong as a statement. It is the classic, pretend to make a transfer headlinez but then hide behind an obvious 'but'. Except in this case, the obvious is off.
