In other news - some reports that we've agreed a contract with Bilal El Khanouss of Genk - 20 year old Belgian midfield 'wonder kid' - if true, more like it ... perhaps Ayew was just to distract attention
Not necessarily.. which is why we won a Premier League title with a squad that cost half of what you paid for Gylfi Sigurdsson ... and have won **** all in the Premier League era whilst clubs like Swansea and Wigan have... on comparative shoestrings ...
Over 30 years ago mate ... Happy to help ... but don't bother looking for how many times you've won it
Chiesa for £12M seems a good gamble if we can get a tune out of him, only 26 and stumbles between world class and utter **** but for that price let's see.
If he rediscovers his pre-ACL levels it'll be the bargain of the summer but feels like a pretty big 'if' at the moment. Still a decent fee either way though, ain't gonna have your pockets burned with that amount if he is ****. We were linked earlier in the window and figures of close to £30m were being thrown about, felt too big a risk at that price and I wanted Neto anyway albeit he's a dickhead and gone Chelsea.
