Yeah, the really sad thing about this transfer for me aside from the £72m is that we spent it on a player who was no more refined than Nelson and who has less potential. If Nelson had just got his minutes since he came to the club he'd probably already be a better player. Kind of costly decisions in terms of squad planning and development that will take you down the Barça path :/
Good thing we got the viruses of Gazidis and then Sanllehí out of the club and can now hope.
Yeah, said last winter I'd sell him now before the bloom is fully off the rose. This spring with a few positive performances I hoped we could maybe retain some of his value, but as he ages and with the market going to be ****ed for a couple years now, there really isn't much silver lining to this one, other than that above: Raúl and Gazidis are gone, and Arteta will pick the best player.

That £72M will never again be seen. I’d sell him for less than half of that if we can get rid.
