Is the 25 mil actually an integral negative characteristic of the player like his pace (I feel is been treated like that here) or are you just worried about the club's finances?
exactlyor it's the thought of what else you could do with the 25 mil
Double edged sword that. Sure he may need match practise to adapt, but while he is adapting, all our title aspirations fly out the window. The thought of Higuain/Villa/Fabiano going at him fills me with dread.
Probably, but that isn't Chyg his fault (as you said in the toher thread, Tren) so I don't think you can blame him for not instantly performing just because he costed 25 mil (which is what mostly happens in this thread.) It is the fault of Pep then.
In regards to what i wrote in the other thread and to clear things up, my criticism isnt solely directed towards Chryg. Even more, esp. when i use the transfer sum as key argument, its directed towards the decision makers much more.Probably, but that isn't Chyg his fault (as you said in the toher thread, Tren) so I don't think you can blame him for not instantly performing just because he costed 25 mil (which is what mostly happens in this thread.)

And a short reminder: you don't buy 'the player at the moment' only, you also pay potential and especially contract terms.
"What else could we do with the money?" Probably spend it to another gamble, knowing Barcelona.
And yes, we are ALL displeased with him and ONLY because of his price-tag. Not because he is slow, makes blunder mistakes or commits uncalled fouls.
Jesus.
Which is why I asked if you see the 25 million as an integral characteristic of the players like his lack of pace.In regards to what i wrote in the other thread and to clear things up, my criticism isnt solely directed towards Chryg.

If a 25M signing, esp. a defender (and in all honesty, how many central defenders transferred for more in the history of football?), doesnt perform and find his way into the regular team within very short time, someone made a wrong decision to bring him in. 25M is imo a too huge amount to put on a longterm or speculative 'asset'. See what other teams bring in for these sums and how they have very often instant impact on the team.
