    I think it’s more a case Bielsa turning down the CM options he was presented with rather than no funds. I prefer James over Harrison myself…

    James cost twice as much as Harrison though so he should be twice as good - but he clearly isn’t. In fact I’d say Harrison is the better player.

    Harrison has had three seasons under Bielsa to get to the level he is at. I bet if you add his loan fees to the purchase price there isn’t a lot in it. Let’s see what James is worth two seasons from now ;)

    It’s irrelevant how much James will be worth in two years time though. For a £25m outlay it’s not entirely unreasonable to expect more or less the finished article.

    Nope...£50 mill is the nearly finished article.

    Gets you a decent prospect like a Ben White that much.

    Well I’d say Raphinha is as near as you can get to the finished article, and only £17m. Instant impact on his arrival too.

    Non PL signing...different rules.

    PL to PL transfer £25 mill gets you not a lot.

    Good luck @hemase

    I'm sure you will be fine. Never nice going under the knife but just think about the long term, not the short term.
