Me too prefered Auba than Rodrigo, but to find another top scorer like Pistolero in january is very difficult.
Main problems today are two:
We have to understand if Dembele is still alive and if Ansu Fati is the ghost of the last months or the wonderful and concrete player we saw at beginning of the season.
then you've got BVB who just signed EBH son of Alf-Inge for peanuts
watch them sign Camav from Rennes, as they did the Bouzeman when he was super cheap. These guys are ascended super sayans when it comes to scooping up rising stars. Fuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!
and then, watch us pay 1.5 Billion for him in 10 years
But it isn't really. Usually plenty of good-decent strikers who are out of favour, particularly if you only need them for half a year until you can enter proper negotiations with a new season in mind. No point looking for OTT transfer.
