In the same window Salah was available for under £40m Lukaku cost £75m. Robertson was available for under £10m whilst Kyle Walker cost £45m. What someone is valued at and their availability is not always reflective of how good a fit and success they’ll be at their new team.
How good is he at tucking his arms in and how big are his feet,handballs and stupid fucking off sides should also be part of the conversation,how fast is his turn.
He has fallen down the pecking order, and has ambitions to play for his national side at the Euros. We might be able to work something out with Leverkusen along the lines of a small loan fee.
We need a proper center back this winter. And several young and solid players will be available for the right amount of money /let’s say around Upamecano’s price in the summer of 2021/.
My top three winter of 2021 picks - Badiashile /Monaco/, Nico Elvedi /Gladbach/, Nikola Milenkovic /Foirentina/.
