@PeakSxnti I know. I think most people’s last memory was the pk from the champions league final. Left a sour taste for some folks. I think he’s top class and will only get better this year.
I do not deny that it is a gamble but I'd much rather focus on strengthening the middle and attacking third of the team and roll the dice on our back line. I really do think Ben is going to have a chip on his shoulder and play well for us this season. And then we can sell at a higher price in the winter or next summer.
Ben White was our top signing in 21 for around $70mil. We brought in Odegaard, Ramsdale, Tomiyasu and Tavares. All told it was $170mil that summer. To sign Rogers and a maybe Bruno we're looking at probably $180mil or $200mil. We can't forget about figures because of last years outlay. I wish we could, but we can't.
@OmotoyosiO16737@DailyAFC@lequipe Both are going to cost $80-$90mil and we don't have that luxury at the moment. If we sell Jesus, Noorgard, Martinelli and maybe Nwaneri maybe we could afford it, but I don't think that is possible in this window.
