€30m is around £25m so at that price it would be a great buy. The guy looks a serious talent and would be a great addition.“I don’t know how much he’s worth right now because he is not for sale,” said Ferrero. “I am keeping a tight hold of him and we’ll help him to develop, because I want to make a healthy profit at the end of it. As far as I am concerned, he is worth somewhere between €30m and €50m. He has talent and he will go far,” he added.
Bizarre he would give such a wide range! At 30m it seems like a great deal. At 50m I don’t think we’re shopping in that range unless we’re spending Kane money.
Terrible hairline for someone so young so for that reason I am out.
Looks a superb talent and still only 20 years old. These are the types of signings that I like us making, aswell as Tomiyasu. Finding talented players at the smaller clubs who have earned their shot at playing at a higher level. Over the last 10-15 years this philosophy has been the source of nearly all of our better players:
Dembele, Eriksen, Bale, Son, Modric, Vertonghen, Wanyama, Walker etc etc the list goes on and on.
It is what Leicester have been doing to great success over the last few years and we need to get back to doing this.
Haha, with him & Eriksen there must be something in blonde danish men that results in early hair loss!!
We seemed to fall into the trap of claiming if a player doesn't improve your starting line-up then we shouldn't be buying but I think you're absolutely right. Sometimes that stand-out player is available and I'm sure once we're clear of COVID, we will have more to spend but more often developing your own stand-out player is the way to go, especially for a club like us, who prefer to spend conservatively.
I'd argue we've missed the boat on a number of players in the past 5+ years because we weren't willing to go early and give a player development time.
