Mo cost 35m, so yes it is possible
It might. We have form for unearthing good signings.
The other part is we donāt know how long Mo will be a world class game changer for. Will he still be that in 3 years time? I hope so, but there are legitimate question marks over how much he will decline and at what point.
Itās a dangerous game predicting what point in time his decline will set in, many people thought that was 12-18 months ago and heās proving a lot of people wrong (yes, myself included before anyone gets twitchy). I think with someone like Mo, we just have to let him motor on and do what he does best. Right now 95% of the fanbase are desperate for him to stayā¦if the club ultimately decide to follow through and he ages 10 years overnight, goes horribly wrong etc, then itās a decision which weād all accept looking back as we were all on board with it.
Ironic that thatās the $64,000 dollar question. Answer? Absofuckinglutely not.
Well 35m did.
Its the unanswerable question in football cost doesnāt equal success.
No but teams that spend the most money ātendā to be at or close to the top of the league. No team that spends Ā£2k on a new signing is in the PL.
Bit of a difference between 2k and say 20-30m.
Which is what even some Championship clubs will spend.
Matip free Milner free were both worse than Slabby and Pogba because they cost shit loads more.
That was a frustration penalty. Itās funny how Rudiger often gets under his skin, really knows how to play against him. Before the penalty, went for a mad dribble attempt just trying to bulldoze through a few opponents. Then hit it too hard. Luckily it didnāt cost us, our performance went up a level in the second half, there was a brilliant save from Kelleher and another goal to seal it.
I donāt know what to make of this article.
But teams that āspendā Ā£0 are.
Edit: Wot @RER said
Sounds like shite. āzero empathyā āsalah is sensitive and emotionalā. Okay John Heitingaās agent. Clearly you didnāt enjoy having to deal. If you are having to appeal to the players agent and be all sensitive etc then thats actually going to make it harder to negotiate. Glad to hear that Hughes isnāt a complete soft touch - many of these football agents are hopeless and just expect everyhting to be their way.
Just after the penalty miss Conor made a great inside run and was open, Mo ignored him and dribbled inside and lost possession, he let the miss affect his judgement
I mean, isnāt he often like that anyway?
He misses the odd penalty.
But he scores most.
How you can attribute last nights miss to Rudiger getting under his skin is a mystery?
Minus 1 year and minus 50k per week off your contract, Mo.
The moment Mo missed the pen
They came on serious wages though, you now the point Iām making.
