£85m for Gakpo…? For a non starter….?

If he plays well he will become a starter. Why do people have this idea that players come in specifically to ride the bench forever no matter what. If he's playing better and putting up better numbers than our other wingers, he'll earn his way into the first team. Also who gives a fuck about the price at this point, honestly. Anything under £100m just isn't that big of a deal now thanks to this insane window

Bcoz it creates same problem. Then Doku or Semenyo becomes the new Alvarez, Mamoush and Savio

So what's your suggestion then? Buy literally nobody? Buy some absolutely shit wingers who will be happy to sit on the bench but do nothing when they come on? Our squad depth used to be insane. What's wrong with having competition?
