This situation just makes me bipolar as hell.. We could talk about it from every perspective. First, as an arguably top 5 club we should've let this ship sail long time ago. That is if we had some self respect, but this club is a joke in all departments right now, so we can forget about it.
Now if we look at it sportswise, like
Don Juan Laporta Estruch in the previous page said, when our options on the wings are Abde, Fati, Raphinha and Ferran you can't seriously have any expectations, atleast in Europe. You think any of those players are the difference makers we need? Sure they might snatch a crucial goal here and there, but not even Lewandowski can do it at this point, and it's depressing.
Even with a few extra pounds he is the closest you get to a player like Messi right now. Capable of taking players out, being a playmaker and creating something in big games.
BUT there's a huge risk to it, I 100% agree with that.
