When we paid £12m for Nkudu and Njie I can see your point.
This time we paid a club record £56m for what is supposed to be the finished article. After we wasted all the Bale money, I hoped the scouting dept would have had a review. Maybe it is a curse to be the record signing, Soldado? Lamela?
I hope you are right, but he seems to be overweight, unbalanced and easily stopped. I have watched videos of him dashing forward in French football but we have rarely seen any of this. He seems to see a pass as per second goal vs City. You just expect better when the club spend a major amount of their transfer budget, you would get someone who would seriously influence the club's results. So 2 goals, 2 assists, 2 yellow cards.
The finished article at 22 years old and has only been playing top flight football for 3 seasons?...someone needs to lower their expectations.
