Wow.
There’s more to football than assists and goals you know.
Have you not seen the difference between him in the team and out of it? He draws 2-3 players to him every time he’s on the ball, creating so much space for the rest of the team.
just look at the last 10 games to know how much he contributes to this team.
He’s worth more than £40m to us, because without him, we’re not going up. As for buying a bunch of foreign 18-21 yr olds - for every one bargain £1.5m player, there’s about 50 duds.
£4m gets you hourihane, or Lansbury.
Now if Spurs can get £18m from stoke for a 29 year old Kevin (who??) Wimner, they can bloody pay £40m for Grealish - or they can **** off.
You also need to realise that transfer prices are dictated by who is buying and who is selling - not necessarily as a direct reflection of the quality of the player. When a champions league club want a player from Aston Villa, they’re gonna have to pay champions league prices.
