They probably thought the same when they bought Havertz, Werner, Chilwell, Kovavic, Kepa, Pulisic & Morata…Great signing for Chelsea, if you think he’s of the quality required then you pay the fee.
Potentially the best part of a decade of having the player, or even 5 years and some re-sale value.
City’s penny pinching over this one could be something we regret.
Walker £50m, Mendy £50m (ffs), Cancelo ~£50m. Stones £50m, Laporte £60m, Ake £40m, Dias £60m.
As an outsider it was pretty clear what the valuation would be.
All 25 or under and cost £40m+
How many of them have been a success?
