He could fail, but that should not prevent us from targeting young players. We just never know.
It took Madrid several attempts to find the perfect midfield, James 70m, Lucas Silva 13m, Illarramendi 32m, Sahin 10m, Özil 18m, Khedira 14m and Kaká 65m. Different ages, different styles and completely different profiles, but at the end, they got what they were looking for with Kroos Casim Modric.
Who thought Kroos would be this good? Sané at the age of 20 for 50m was crazy and look at him now. De Bruyne for 76m was too much and guess what.
We got Gomes who fit our needs, impressive on the ball with great physical and he did quite well at VFC. There was absolutely no reason for him to fail, and yet he failed. We needed a winger and as of right now there is not really any better alternative than Malcom. Great price with good potential.
Reading Inter's supporters comments and completely ignoring Chelsea's supporters comments, is not that selective?
