    How was Wissa a risk?

    Wissa was the one with 3 years of PL history and experience. He was the one with goals in the PL. He had minimal injury absence in his time in the PL.

    He’s injured now but nothing previous suggested this would occur. If Wissa “was going to be a risk” then that would apply to every footballer.

    In hindsight it should have been £30 million for Hojlund.

    He’s a good player. Just in a very **** team at manu.

    Napoli have a 38m clause.

    Im not saying Wissa is a bad player he isn’t. He’s a good player but all things considered at 55 and at the age of 29 and Afcon. It was a strange move.

    Still could work out.

    The best thing about Wissa is that we've been able to see Woltemade. If Wissa was fit then we'd have seen Woltemade against Bradford and ten minutes here and there.
    Also that role now goes to Osula and he looks a much better prospect then he did last season.

    Best £55m spent since Tonali

    Yeah proves the not premier league ready notion to be fallacious.

    Woltemade is made for the PL. His link play is amazing.

    If we had bought Hojlund instead of Wissa fans would have rightly gone berserk, the guys been a complete disaster in the Prem and Wissa was scoring for fun. Wissa was a no brainer, the injury was just unfortunate.
