We're in a different world now, 25+ doesn't necessarily give you guaranteed starters anymore, that's not to say that wasn't the plan with him. I still have no issue with the value.
No not me. I see him as no better or worse than Buendia, so he isn’t needed, but I don’t see why he’s worth less.
He's seven years younger than Buendia so there is that. Plenty of scope to improve. Emery seems to have dug himself into a hole of his own making here. But still turned to him to save the game v Brentford. Like any transfer if it doesn't work we could move him on after giving him a fair go, see Guessand, and I don't think we lose out too much on the deal.
