Risky he plays for us for four years at an exceptionally high level and then breaks our hearts when he moves to Saudi for £250m after securing us our third in a row Champions League trophy. The risk is to our hearts and falling in love with him and then he leaves… Edited July 12, 2023 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s risky in the same way Leon Bailey was risky. Lots of recent purchases from Germany haven’t been successful - Bailey, Sancho, Havertz, Werner etc. 40m-50m is very risky on someone who may not work out. This has the potential to be another Bailey. Would I rather Torres for the reported 25m who has already played in the league . . . Yes I would. That do for you?

I know some people love to troll on here, but come on man. Fernando Torres is 39, hasn't played since 2019 and is currently managing the Atletico Madrid U19's. Why would you rather pay £25m for him?! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KangarooVillan Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Would certainly pay decent money to have a player called Moussa in the squad. Generally seems good for morale and leaves a lot to work with in terms of chants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I allowed to think Diaby is a risk and could go the same way as Bailey? I was confused because I thought you were talking about Pau Torres. Anyway, at least you have now set out your predictions about how he will perform. Anyone with a predilection to do so will now be able to revisit the early pages of this thread - should we actually buy him - and assess how much of a Mystic Meg you turned out to be. BTW I think it is going some to claim that Sancho and Havertz haven’t been “successful”. They may not have lived up to the excessive hype of the British press but if, say, we bought Diaby and then in 3 years time sold him to Arsenal for the equivalent of £65m I would not consider that a total disaster.
