It'd be a proper foolish move to sell one of the best box-to-box midfielders in the world/a brilliant young defensive midfielder who's got it all, just to accommodate Enzo Fernandez.

At £125m, Enzo Fernández was supposed to be better than Tijjani Reijnders at being 1) a late arriver/goal threat/goal-scoring 8 2) OOP (ground coverage & defending) 3) a top-tier footballing brain (tactically, his understanding of space and time, his processing) 4) technically. I mean, he was supposed to be a better midfielder than Tijjani. But yeah, we spent more than double what we sold Tijjani for, just to get less of the qualities he gave us.
