I just can’t believe the fee is £9m for him. He looks very raw and is 25 and hardly torn up any trees in worse leagues. I can’t wrap my head around it at all TBH. I think there’s always going to be a risk with a new recruitment team and a management team who haven’t had cash that we make a big...
Just because I know a back four upsets some people.

It does seem a high fee. Maybe it will turn out not to be, but £9m for a player who hasn’t performed higher than the Turkish league and is 25 is a lot of money whether he turns out good or not.
Well what would you have him do? Rack up fine and lose any reputation in the game or wait nine months to have a resolution?
Seems like a few others you’re more bitter about losing him for free than anything. But that’s a risk with any player.
But USA are crap. Kastaneer was an international, it doesn’t mean anything on its own.
I’d agree we need to move on, but £9m is a fee I’d pay for him having scored 15-20 at a similar level. He’s a £2-3M gamble with a finished article price tag. He cost less than £2m a year ago.
But at what level to justify a fucking massive fee? For £9m I’d want someone who hadn’t flopped at similar levels before. He’s a gamble and the price should reflect that.
