I would say more like 30m and I think Ferran has a far better market than Garcia. Ferran showed top performances with City and Spain and has had great games for us as well even though he missed a lot of chances and has some limitations in terms of not having a clear role. A lot of clubs...

Ferran is a good player. Even though he isn't incredible the hate for him here is so bizarre, I feel like it's because he was our first signing in that lowest moment and therefore people associate the bad times then with him/put unrealistic expectations on him. But he was never that bad and I...

I agree with this. The problem is with taking authority as an absolute truth in today's society is they will always have considerations or motivations that means their opinions are not completely objective. Actually it's a really interesting topic, and objective evaluation skills encompass so...

That is also true. The problem is they just have access to the players that we don't as fans, they get to interact with them, watch them in training etc, and we can only go off games, so we are somewhat limited in the amount of evidence we have compared to coaches. However it may just be that...

That isn't always a fallacy if the authority is valid. Authority can certainly be wrong, but the likelihood of authority being wrong decreases if many different authorities on a subject all have the same opinion. Basically for you to be right, you would have to know better on this particular...

Unfortunately it's probably because clubs actually want Faye and nobody wants to pay for the other two. With Garcia I'm more surprised because he was a starter in a very good Girona side, weird that it didn't get him a good move, rather than preferring to stay here where he is like 6th CB...

Our situation with him is really good as if we keep using him off the bench he likely won't play long enough for any of his flaws to become very clear, and equally, he will grab goals off the bench that will raise his reputation further. His hype will probably stay high constantly. If he scores...

It's surely not the worst. And it's nice to see us come back to making big signings without needing to sell assets. I feel like once the old guys leave, especially Lewa (hopefully next season although looks doubtful) we will be back to normal spending powers.

I think the whole reason he is effective at scoring is that he crashes the box from midfield where he can slip in unmarked. If he has to do it from striker where he is closely marked and plays with his back to goal it won't work, he'll just be marked out of the game.

My problem with seeing him as a top talent is that whilst his movement is clearly elite, he doesn't have that many other defining characteristics. He is a bit technically and physically lacking for me and I find it hard to believe he'll continue to get by with just fantastic movement (although...

We'll have to see how well he does now his name is on the radar. It's different playing as a breakout player to playing with a reputation and opponents preparing for your game. The question is will his box crashing just be a gimmick or will his one trick always work.

Its not as good as it appears and is actually a major gamble. They have a huge amount of contracted first team players on decent wages and long contracts and if they fail or don't get sold for profit it will be a massive amount of budget in the bin in a few years time. They are using a...

Solanke moved to Spurs for 60 million GBP.

That's the thing with signing such an amazing player on a free, if he ever becomes unhappy or wants to leave, you are making a giant profit inevitably.

So are we signing Nico on top of Olmo then? An interesting strategy. I think that's too much money on attackers but I'm happy to see the club's spending power is returning.

Wtf. What is going on over there. Surely they have a truth defense? Also it's a private message so how can it be defamatory? That is utterly bizarre and actually disgusting that prison time is being handed out for privately insulting people, insults that are true nonetheless.

Ngl this is very strange if Liverpool managed to convince him that quickly. Perhaps it's a personal preference of wanting to go abroad? Who knows. But the Barca move on paper makes so much sense, we have no real DM so he will play basically every single game, he fits the style perfectly, can...

It's kind of absurd that they managed to get him pretty much as soon as they were interested and we've allegedly been trying for several years. Maybe he actually just didn't want to join us specifically, which is so strange, he has such a clear role here and he can stay in Spain.

At the same time Gavi does seem like a bit of an early bloomer (so far). Maybe he'll grow when he comes back but Gavi seems around the same level as when he came through. It's been 3 years since we first saw him with the first team, granted he did spend 6-7 months of this injured, but he hasn't...

I like to see Pau Victor do well because it shows how the form from a much lower level can still transfer over to a higher level of play. Would be a great bit of business if it turns out he can be productive for the first team. As JamDav mentioned it's not just the goals but he looks like he's...
